Chapter 2777 The Hand That Reached Into the North Universe!Chapter 2777 The Hand That Reached Into the North Universe!
Kong Huan and Fan Lou had the same sentiments toward Lin Yuan.
In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Kong Huan was always able to keep Fan Lou under her thumb. Even if he had become a relative of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, she could still strike at him if the opportunity arose.
Everything came down to evidence.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would not try to persecute the Alluring Foxes over a dead man. The dead had no value.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had to pay the Bloodians handsomely to obtain their help.
But now, Kong Huan did not feel superior in the slightest—
she needed to compete with Fan Lou for this young man's trust.
Kong Huan had kept Fan Lou by her side all this time because of his competency and his ability to bring her amusement.
When it came to currying favor and bringing amusement, Kong Huan had to admit that she was no match for Fan Lou.
She was born into the main branch of the Alluring Foxes and possessed outstanding talent from a young age. She evolved faster than the rest of her species. Her upbringing had been smooth sailing, and she never needed to try to please anyone else.
Kong Huan looked delighted when Lin Yuan said he wanted to hear about the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Since she was of a higher level than Fan Lou, she possessed more information than him.
Kong Huan would not mind revealing some secrets if she could trade them for her survival.
But it went without saying she would prefer not to reveal information about the Alluring Foxes unless Lin Yuan asked her about it directly. Regardless of where she was or what danger she was in, Kong Huan put her species first. This was the difference between her and Fan Lou.
Fan Lou was now a relative of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and was valued by Feng Qing. However, he only saw them as a safe haven where he could take shelter.
If Fan Lou was able to seek support from the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, he would do everything he could to get into Feng Qing's good books and raise his status among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
But if Feng Qing and the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were unable to protect him, Fan Lou would not feel too much guilt over betraying them.
Fan Lou needed to compete with Kong Huan while figuring out Lin Yuan's objective.
If Lin Yuan did not mind that he and Kong Huan lacked power and were willing to take them in, Fan Lou would do anything to grab onto the opportunity.
Unlike Kong Huan, he did not have the Alluring Foxes backing him up.
This situation was not only dangerous but was also a possible opportunity for Fan Lou.
"Since we have time, the two of you can tell me everything you know about the Sky Beyond the Clouds! If you find that the other person's information isn't accurate, you can point it out. I have always liked subordinates who are able to prove their value to me. If the two of you are able to prove your value, I will be willing to offer you an opportunity."
Lin Yuan already intended to let Kong Huan and Fan Lou live and to make them work for him. There was no need to hide his plans.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder the threat of death, the two of them would definitely tell him everything they knew in order to live.
However, if he paid out the pros and cons for them clearly, they would be inclined to hold back some information about the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
From Fan Lou and Kong Huan's descriptions, Lin Yuan gained a general understanding of the situation in the East Universe.
Spring was also listening to Kong Huan and Fan Lou's descriptions. She realized that the East Universe had changed significantly over the last few epochs!
The only thing that had not changed was that Honor Absent Palace was still the dominant faction.
Kong Huan thought about the Snow-Covered Fox envoy from the North Universe liaising with the Alluring Foxes and felt she needed to tell Lin Yuan about this.
She hoped he could guide her in the right direction regarding this matter.
At that moment, Kong Huan was unsure if moving the Alluring Foxes to the North Universe was still the right decision.
The reason for their move to the North Universe was that Kong Huan did not want to be bothered by Feng Qing.
Additionally, the Bloodians were always looming over the Alluring Foxes.
Kong Huan believed that an entity of Lin Yuan's level would surely return to the Sky Beyond the Clouds once he was done exploring this Class 2 world.
Asking Lin Yuan about decisions that concerned the Alluring Foxes was also a way of demonstrating subordination.
"My Lord, the Alluring Foxes have been communicating with the Snow-Covered Fox envoy recently. According to our plan, we will be moving from the East Universe to the North Universe soon. The Snow-Covered Foxes promised me a seat in the parliament there."
Lin Yuan's lips curled upward.
Kong Huan was very smart and guessed his objective.
By saying this, Kong Huan was signaling she would lead all the Alluring Foxes to submit to him.
After Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he would begin developing in the East Universe.
However, there was no need for the Alluring Foxes to remain in the East Universe. They could not bring Lin Yuan any benefits by remaining there.
Once they went to the North Universe, the Alluring Foxes would become his eyes there and help him gain insight into the North Universe.
Rather than staying in the East Universe, the North Universe might be a more beneficial environment for the Alluring Foxes.
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, "Your bloodline has reached pinnacle Alluring Bones. It won't be difficult to evolve your bloodline."
Kong Huan looked astonished when she heard what Lin Yuan said.
It was true that her bloodline was pinnacle Alluring Bones. But what did he mean by it not being difficult to evolve her bloodline? She had been stuck at pinnacle Alluring Bones for a very long time, and there was no Alluring Fox with a more elite bloodline.
Kong Huan had absolute confidence in her bloodline. Otherwise, she would not have been recommended as the Alluring Foxes' representative member of the Honor Absent Parliament.
"My Lord, you might not be aware of this, but the Alluring Fox bloodline is more difficult to evolve than the bloodlines of other species. I have the most elite bloodline of all the Alluring Foxes in the past hundreds of thousands of years! I will only have the opportunity to evolve if I somehow encounter a giant lucky break!"
Lin Yuan did not bother to explain. Instead, he circulated his Alluring Fox bloodline in his body.
Lin Yuan's appearance changed in an instant.
The bloodline power flowing out of Lin Yuan's body stupefied Kong Huan. She stared at him in shock. Based on his aura and state, she could be certain that his bloodline had reached pinnacle Alluring Soul. Moreover, his Alluring Soul bloodline had extremely solid roots.
Just what was happening?
Kong Huan could also sense that Lin Yuan's bloodline came from her own. Otherwise, she would not feel such an intimacy toward his bloodline aura.
When Kong Huan first saw Lin Yuan, she was certain that he knew nothing about the Alluring Foxes.
Could it be that the bloodline in Lin Yuan's body was related to the bloodline that the female expert named Spring had extracted from her?
His bloodline had broken through the wall and successfully evolved to Alluring Soul grade in such a short time!
Kong Huan finally believed that Lin Yuan would be able to evolve her bloodline.
She hurriedly knelt, lowered her body to the ground, and said with respect and anticipation, "My Lord, if you can help my bloodline to evolve, I will be of great help to you once I take the Alluring Foxes to the North Universe!"
Kong Huan was not the type to make promises easily, especially in such situations. As an Alluring Fox, she was well aware of the attraction that her bloodline had on other fox-species and beast-type lifeforms.
She might not be able to use the Alluring Soul bloodline to seduce the upper echelon of the Snow-Covered Foxes, but she would still be able to mesmerize other powerful dependent species and gain their protection!
Kong Huan had suggested leaving for the North Universe because she believed that Lin Yuan wanted her to do so.
Even if she did not head to the North Universe and the Alluring Foxes continued developing in the East Universe, evolving her bloodline would definitely elevate her position as a member of the Honor Absent Parliament.
Fan Lou became extremely anxious when he heard the conversation between Kong Huan and Lin Yuan.
He had come with Kong Huan to tell Lin Yuan about the situation in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. However, his status was lower than that of Kong Huan, and there were many things about Honor Absent Palace he did not know. This gave Kong Huan the chance to seize the lead.
Now, Kong Huan was clinging to and forming a connection with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had Kong Huan's bloodline in his body. This made Fan Lou feel as though he would be abandoned by Lin Yuan at any time.
This thought was a wake-up call to Fan Lou, and he brought out the information he believed would be the most useful to Lin Yuan.
"My Lord, how long do you intend on staying in this Class 2 world? I will remain as a Boundary Patrol Envoy even after I return to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. If you intend to continue nurturing faeries or evolving feys in this Class 2 world, I can help you to keep the news under wraps so no one finds out about what is happening in this Class 2 world."
Lin Yuan's eyes flashed.
It was true he intended to remain in the main world for some time. While he was in the main world, not only would he evolve his own feys but would also increase the strength of those around him, followed by their feys' grades.
Hence, it was likely that another World Emperor/Divine Kingdom expert would appear in the main world soon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Yuan was concerned that if the commotion from the evolutions was not hidden, there would be a second, third, or even more groups of visitors from the Sky Beyond the Clouds. At that point, the main world would become a giant target.
Once Lin Yuan left the main world, it would have no one to protect it!
If Fan Lou could use his identity as a Boundary Patrol Envoy to cover up any activities in the main world, it would save Lin Yuan a lot of trouble.
With someone as intelligent as Fan Lou, Lin Yuan believed he could help him gain access to Honor Absent Palace and become a member of the Honor Absent Parliament. This would allow Lin Yuan to obtain classified information from within Honor Absent Palace.
Otherwise, once Kong Huan moved to the North Universe, Lin Yuan would lose a set of eyes within Honor Absent Palace!
"Not bad. That is exactly what I need you to do! I will ask Spring to check your bloodline. Then, I'll give you some resources to slowly nurture your bloodline."
Fan Lou was overjoyed.
Lin Yuan said that because he intended to keep him around and would not kill him.
Fan Lou was well aware of the bloodline in his body. His original bloodline was lacking. Currently, the strongest bloodline in his body was the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf bloodline.
When he returned to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he would also have to return to Feng Qing's side.
If he strengthened his bloodline, his position among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would also improve.
But from Spring's words, Fan Lou could tell that Lin Yuan was not interested in the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
At that point, Fan Lou heard Lin Yuan say, "There is still one Bloodian who is alive. The other one in the team has died. It will be difficult to explain their deaths when you return.
"I will take control of that Bloodian so that when he returns to the Sky Beyond the Clouds with you, he will communicate with the Bloodians on your behalf and allow you to gain their protection! This will not only elevate your position among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves but will also allow you to become the bridge between the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and Bloodians!
"Everything depends on effort. There is nothing that cannot be achieved. It's possible that with my help, you will become a member of the Honor Absent Parliament."
While Lin Yuan was speaking to Fan Lou, he could clearly sense Fan Lou had always acted cautiously and timidly. A person with such a manner of action had predictable potential.
In a complex environment like the Sky Beyond the Clouds, time could easily erode a lifeform's ambition.
Lin Yuan's words were meant to expand Fan Lou's mind and give him hope for the future. This would also allow Fan Lou to understand the benefits that could come from dutifully sticking by Lin Yuan's side.
After speaking to Kong Huan and Fan Lou, Lin Yuan told Kong Huan to stay behind.
Kong Huan's heart was filled with excitement and anticipation as she watched Lin Yuan walk over to her from the throne.
Once her bloodline evolved from pinnacle Alluring Bones to Alluring Soul, she would not only be able to lead the Alluring Foxes toward a new future but would also be able to suppress the various branches and fortify her control over the Alluring Foxes!
Lin Yuan did not place his hand on Kong Huan's body immediately to refine her bloodline with the Body of All Spirits.
Unlike in the past, Lin Yuan no longer hid his secret weapons in the main world. This was because there was nothing in the main world that could endanger him.
But once he went to the unknown environment that was the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan would need to do his best to ensure that his secret weapons were not exposed.
Lin Yuan asked Kong Huan in a low voice, "What type of resources do you usually need to refine your bloodline?"
Kong Huan hurriedly replied, "My Lord, the best way for lifeforms like us that use spirit qi as our main source of energy to evolve our bloodline is to absorb pure spirit qi. The spirit qi will nourish and refine our bloodlines.
"Although other methods will also be able to evolve our bloodlines, they always come with drawbacks. A light consequence would be our bloodline being unable to evolve any further in the future. A serious consequence would be our bloodlines becoming contaminated or the emergence of harmful mutations."
