NovelEnglishChapter 2830 I'm Sure You Understand Words!
This strapping young man with red hair and eyes had a dignified air about him. Indeed, he possessed the traits of an authentic Bloodian.
To top it off, it seemed his Bloodian bloodline was superior. He definitely had a legitimate legacy!
However, bloodline level was one matter, while power was another.
Based on the aura of this young man, it was clear that he was unrelated to a high-ranked Bloodian. Did that illegitimate wolf give them false news?
That illegitimate wolf would never be brave enough to do so.
If the information was false, it had to be the work of the Bloodians.
This matter was extremely important to the Dark Pufferfish.
It was understandable for all the Dark Pufferfish to gather to receive a high-ranked Bloodian. But there was no need to do so for a young, pure-blooded Bloodian. This was an insult to the Dark Pufferfish.
If the Dark Pufferfish let this matter go and the Bloodians spread the news, the Dark Pufferfish would become the laughingstock of the entire East Universe!
A Dark Pufferfish Elder took two steps forward and asked Lin Yuan with annoyance, "Are you the guest the Bloodians sent to visit the Lonely River? Didn't the Bloodians tell their subordinate to inform us that a high-ranking Bloodian would be coming?"
Lin Yuan could hear the displeasure in his voice. But amidst the displeasure, there was also a hint of biding his time.
Lin Yuan did not immediately respond to the Dark Pufferfish Elder's question. Instead, he asked loudly, "Since we've already sent word, that must mean all the Dark Pufferfish have gathered, right?"
The Dark Pufferfish Elder expected this young Bloodian to provide him with an explanation after being told off. He had not anticipated this young Bloodian to respond with a question of his own.
Was it possible that this was just an advance guard sent by the Bloodians and that the high-ranking Bloodian was arriving later?
If that was not the case, the Dark Pufferfish Elder could not understand how this young Bloodian could summon up such audacity!
The Dark Pufferfish always put up a strong front and were not easy to get along with.
The Dark Pufferfish Elder frowned and said, "That's right. All the Dark Pufferfish have gathered! If a high-ranking Bloodian isn't coming and you've lied to us, we will keep you here! The Dark Pufferfish aren't—"
Lin Yuan did not allow this Dark Pufferfish Elder to finish his sentence before waving his hands.
Autumn and Winter's auras burst out, forming a cage around the Dark Pufferfish's palace. They also enveloped a 1,500-meter radius around the palace.
Autumn and Winter had locked the auras of all the lifeforms in this water territory. However, the lifeforms were completely unaware of this.
This was unlike the Dark Pufferfish in the palace, who felt as though they had sunk into mud. Despite being in the water, they found breathing incredibly difficult.
This power was beyond what the Dark Pufferfish had ever encountered or imagined!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Dark Pufferfish Elder looked at Winter and Autumn with astonishment. Could it be that these two experts were Bloodians?
Were the Bloodians going to attack the Dark Pufferfish for being uncooperative with them?
If the Bloodians had such power, why didn't they send such experts to the Dark Pufferfish's territory and force them to agree to their requests? Alternatively, they could just conquer the peace-loving mermaids without trading for the Dark Pufferfish's poison.
The Bloodians believed that power came before everything.
Regardless of how elite this young Bloodian's bloodline was, he could not use his bloodline alone to take control of such experts!
While the Dark Pufferfish Elder was shocked by Lin Yuan's status, he watched as this red-haired and red-eyed young man began to transform. He turned into a spirited young man with black hair and eyes!
This young man had a natural serenity about him. But in the eyes of the Dark Pufferfish Elder, Lin Yuan was like a demon who controlled the lives of all the Dark Pufferfish!
Lin Yuan walked past the Dark Pufferfish Elder and the other experts standing by the entrance of the palace.
He walked deeper into the palace and sat on the dark green throne at the back of the hall.
Autumn and Winter stood by his sides, and Autumn said softly, "Young Master, this old Dark Pufferfish isn't lying. All the Dark Pufferfish have truly gathered. There are no Dark Pufferfish in a 1,500-meter radius."
Lin Yuan nodded before giving them instructions, "Autumn and Winter, gather all the managers in the hall. The regular members can arrange themselves in an orderly fashion outside the hall. The Dark Pufferfish better be obedient. Otherwise, no Dark Pufferfish will ever be seen in the Lonely River in the future! There will be no need for the Dark Pufferfish to exist!"
Lin Yuan's voice was extremely loud.
Autumn and Winter were not the only ones who heard this. All the Dark Pufferfish could hear what he said as well.
Lin Yuan first wanted to inform the Dark Pufferfish of their predicament so they would not make any impulsive or erroneous choices.
Autumn and Winter released their auras, and the Dark Pufferfish were no longer immobilized.
Autumn and Winter used their souls to relay Lin Yuan's instructions to all the Dark Pufferfish. They instructed them to line up in orderly formations in the next ten minutes, per Lin Yuan's instruction.
Many Dark Pufferfish chose to flee after being released by Autumn and Winter.
Soon, they found themselves squeezed by a powerful force before they were crushed in the water. Their blood stained the water around the palace.
A powerful Dark Pufferfish's flesh was extremely nutritious for aquatic lifeforms. But due to Autumn and Winter's auras, no aquatic lifeform dared to swim into the palace's vicinity!
The Dark Pufferfish, who had immediately fled after being released, were extremely rebellious and would be the most difficult to keep on a leash.
By eliminating them, the Dark Pufferfish would be shocked into being obedient. With so many Dark Pufferfish killed to set an example, even the most disobedient manager eventually walked into the hall while the regular members lined up outside the hall.
This matter caused every Dark Pufferfish to become disconcerted. They did not know what was in store for their future.
Lin Yuan sensed the Dark Pufferfish's bloodline. He believed that there was no need to use the Body of All Spirits to take control of this bloodline. There was nothing exceptional about it.
Their poison was the best part of their bloodline.
However, Lin Yuan did not intend to use his body to produce poison.
Winter had been reaching out with his aura. By now, he had looked through most of the Lonely River.
"Young Master, there are no powerful species in the entire Lonely River. That's why the Dark Pufferfish are able to rule over the Lonely River! If there are any lifeforms more powerful than World Emperor/Divine Kingdom or have even reached the Holy Spirit realm, the Dark Pufferfish's poison would not have been able to affect the lifeforms in the Lonely River.
"The strongest lifeforms in the Lonely River have reached the Higher Divine Kingdom level. Rather than wasting time, why don't we take control of these lifeforms? With Autumn here to protect you, you will be safe!"
Winter always thought for Lin Yuan's sake and put his needs first.
If Autumn was not enough to protect Lin Yuan, Winter would never have made such a suggestion!
Autumn smiled when he heard what Winter said.
If Winter went to take control of the other species in the Lonely River, he could stay there to protect Lin Yuan on his own!
He did not have many opportunities to protect Lin Yuan on his own.
Autumn really wanted to prove himself to Lin Yuan. Otherwise, he would become the least important of Lin Yuan's four followers!
Lin Yuan nodded at Winter.
It would indeed save Lin Yuan a lot of time if Winter went to take control of the other aquatic lifeforms in the Lonely River. Moreover, with Winter's abilities, nothing would go wrong with him handling this matter!
"Go ahead, Winter. You don't have to think about anything else while you're taking control of the other species in the Lonely River who can stand toe-to-toe with the Dark Pufferfish. Then, bring those species here."
While replying to Winter, Lin Yuan was thinking of a way to take control of the Dark Pufferfish.
It would be troublesome for Lin Yuan to use the fountain of faith in the divine kingdom to take control of the Dark Pufferfish's faith. But if he used other methods, he would not be able to guarantee their loyalty.
Autumn could guess what Lin Yuan was thinking and hurriedly said, "Young Master, it is easy for you to take control of all the Dark Pufferfish. There is a special lifeform in the Sky Beyond the Clouds known as the Faith Tree. The Dark Pufferfish have a habit of taking control of other aquatic species. They definitely have a sprout of the Faith Tree.
"All you need to do is form a contract with a Faith Tree and have the Dark Pufferfish form contracts with the Faith Tree's fruits! The Faith Tree's fruits will form a link between the source of these Dark Pufferfish's faith power.
"If any Dark Pufferfish has traitorous thoughts, the Faith Tree's fruit they have a contract with will rot. The decay will contaminate the source of faith power. The more species you control using the Faith Tree, the more faith power you will be able to collect. A few superior members of factions gain most of their faith power from the species they control using Faith Trees."
Autumn's words gave Lin Yuan a sudden sense of enlightenment. He felt as though doors had been opened.
It turned out that there were such benefits to taking control of species!
However, it was not easy to use a Faith Tree to take control of a species. It required the support of enormous power!
An immense pressure needed to weigh down on the entire species so that none of the members dared to have any thoughts of disobedience.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOtherwise, even if a Faith Tree was used to take control of the species, the Faith Tree's fruits would go rotten extremely quickly.
Lin Yuan swept his gaze across all the Dark Pufferfish, and not a single one of them dared to meet his eyes.
Fan Lou had been standing behind Lin Yuan and was the epitome of obedience.
At that moment, his excitement was causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
Fan Lou had followed numerous experts in his time. But he had never felt as exhilarated as this!
The haughty Dark Pufferfish were now reduced to sniveling weaklings. They were no longer as high and mighty as they used to be.
Fan Lou believed that if he went over now to slap every single Dark Pufferfish, they would not utter even a single word.
But Fan Lou did not do this. It went without saying that doing so would displease Lin Yuan.
Fan Lou wanted to continue remaining by Lin Yuan's side and reaping the associated benefits!
"The Dark Pufferfish should have a Faith Tree, right? Which one of you is the leader? Bring the Faith Tree to me!"
Lin Yuan's words did not cause anyone to stand up immediately. He said coldly, "The Dark Pufferfish are the ruling species in the Lonely River. Is your leader a coward? I don't like tedium and will only say things once. If no one stands up, I don't mind picking one of you to become the Dark Pufferfish's leader."
Lin Yuan used his hand to gently knock on the throne's armrest, mimicking thudding noises that sounded like a countdown to death.
A frail and elderly Dark Pufferfish walked out from the crowd and clasped his hands together in front of Lin Yuan.
"Lord, my name is Ink Thorn. I am the leader of the Dark Pufferfish. Greetings, Lord. I wish you well!"
Ink Thorn had no choice but to reveal himself.
Ink Thorn did not doubt Lin Yuan's words at all. He indeed had such abilities.
It was obvious that this young man did not intend to annihilate the Dark Pufferfish. Otherwise, he would not have asked them to give him the Faith Tree or used so much effort to gather them.
If he wanted to eliminate the Dark Pufferfish, he could have sent the two experts behind him to do so. If this young man picked a random Dark Pufferfish to become the new leader, he would be turned into a joke as the original leader!
He would also never be able to regain his status in the future while the Dark Pufferfish were under Lin Yuan's control.
Now that it was a fact that the Dark Pufferfish were under Lin Yuan's control, Ink Thorn needed to protect his authority.
The Dark Pufferfish were indeed nurturing their own Faith Tree sprout, and they wanted to dominate the Lonely River.
However, as the leader, Ink Thorn found it difficult to hand over the Faith Tree sprout to Lin Yuan.
When Autumn saw that Ink Thorn only greeted Lin Yuan without showing any signs of following his orders, he scoffed.
14:08
An aura enveloped Ink Thorn and broke through the defenses he was so proud of.
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out from Ink Thorn's mouth.
"As the leader of the Dark Pufferfish, I'm sure you understand words!"
