Chapter 1104 You Dare Threaten Me?
After the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce took over the Zheng family’s luxury resources, the Zheng family could be easily cut off once they could no longer be of any use.
He believed that the other two veteran factions in Indigo Azure City would be very interested in the Zheng family’s real estate.
In less than half an hour, Zheng Kaiyan called again.
When Lin Yuan picked up, he heard Zheng Kaiyan say frantically, “The situation has changed. For some reason, Zheng Kaiyuan has managed to form a connection with the Moon Empress’ disciple. He used this connection to obtain the help of a thearch-cla.s.s expert. The thearch-cla.s.s expert’s name is Han Tianhe, and he’s Miao Zhenshan’s right-hand man. Since you accepted the challenge so readily, Zheng Kaiyuan is going to ask the Miao family for more help. He wants to swap out the emperor-cla.s.s expert with two pinnacle Myth III feys with another thearch-cla.s.s expert.”
Lin Yuan gave Zheng Kaiyan an internal thumbs-up as it was likely that Zheng Kaiyan had offered all the information he had access to.
He had already expected that Zheng Kaiyuan would start to panic when Sky City accepted the blood pact ultimate fight challenge so quickly.
Lin Yuan replied nonchalantly, “The Moon Empress’ disciple and Zheng Kaiyuan aren’t friends. Your reply has saved your life. All you need to do now is remain in the Zheng family’s residence in Indigo Azure City. I will immediately meet you for a face-to-face discussion after the blood pact ultimate fight. Also, have you comprehended a Willpower Rune?”
Zheng Kaiyan had been extremely worried. He would rather die than continue his tortured existence.
Zheng Kaiyan’s chest had tightened when he heard that Zheng Kaiyuan had borrowed the help of a thearch-cla.s.s expert.
But after this call, the tight feeling completely vanished because the person on the other end of the call sounded so sure that the thearch-cla.s.s expert seemed almost insignificant.
Zheng Kaiyan did not believe that anyone could sound so sure if their faction was facing impending destruction.
It seemed that the Zheng family was truly in trouble.
He wondered how his grandfather, who had abandoned him, would feel after knowing that his second grandson had resulted in the Zheng family’s ruin.
However, there was no way his grandfather would know because his grandfather would be the first person who would lose his life during the blood pact ultimate fight.
“City Lord, I shall wait for you here in Indigo Azure City!”
At that moment, Zheng Kaiyan realized that he had been hung up on again. As he gazed at the swallows flying past his window, Zheng Kaiyan allowed himself to become lost in his memories.
“Use him and make him submit! Abandon him and win the hearts of others! Kill him to quell your rage!”
These words had been carved into Zheng Kaiyan’s mind from a young age.
His grandfather had taught Zheng Kaiyan these words and how a member of the elite like him should treat everyone around as p.a.w.ns that he could use.
Yet now, he was nothing more than one of Sky City’s p.a.w.ns.
But regardless, he was the Zheng family’s hero because he would be the one that enabled the Zheng family to continue surviving.
However, Zheng Kaiyan was still mildly excited because he felt that there was no way that Sky City’s City Lord would abandon him. He would definitely have a chance to prove his worth.
Even if he would still be confined to a wheelchair, he would not be worthless.
Lin Yuan and Wen Yu had a deep discussion about the future of Sky City.
The Miao family was now in a state of panic because the Spirit Guards had denied their request to venture into the Cla.s.s 6 abyss dimensional rift.
Any veteran faction could make a request to venture into the abyssal world.
The application was nothing more than a formality.
There were even some rising factions who could apply.
However, the Miao family was stuck because of the Spirit Guards.
This meant that the Spirit Guards were still displeased with the Miao family.
Miao Zhi had insulted w.a.n.g f.u.xiang, while Miao Zhuo had offended the Spirit Guards.
This was the Spirit Guards’ way of getting revenge.
Miao Zhuo had just relaxed for a moment. But now, he was once again public enemy number one in the Miao family.
Miao Zhenshan worried over this issue as he paced around the study room. His constantly changing expressions were evidence of his perturbance.
If they really could not expand into the abyssal world, the Miao family would not only become the laughingstock of all the factions, but they might even be left behind by all the other factions that gained resources from the abyssal world.
Just as Miao Zhenshan was about to hold a meeting of the elders, someone said from the doorway, “Old Master, Young Master Zheng would like to see you.”
Miao Zhenshan frowned as he did not understand why Zheng Kaiyuan would need to see him. But he knew that Miao Zhuo had offended the Young Liege of the Midnight Palace because he had offended Lin Yuan first. Hence, the root of the matter was Lin Yuan.
The Young Liege of the Midnight Palace had taken action on behalf of Lin Yuan because they were very close. Zheng Kaiyuan was acquainted with Lin Yuan. It was likely that the Miao family’s issue could be resolved through Zheng Kaiyuan’s connection to Lin Yuan.
As such, Miao Zhenshan decided to see Zheng Kaiyuan in the study room.
However, what Zheng Kaiyuan said made it impossible for Miao Zhenshan to continue keeping his displeasure under wraps. “Grandfather, I want you to lend me another thearch-cla.s.s expert. This way, the Zheng family will have an even higher chance of defeating Sky City in the blood pact ultimate fight.”
Zheng Kaiyuan was so absorbed in his desire for another thearch-cla.s.s expert that he did not notice the negative change in Miao Zhenshan’s tone.
“Are you saying that Elder Han isn’t strong enough? Who else in the Miao family meets your expectations?”.
Zheng Kaiyuan immediately replied, “Grandfather, Elder Han and Elder Liu are always together. I heard that Elder Liu is slightly stronger than Elder Han and that his main fey has reached Sovereign VI/Creation V. Can you allow Elder Liu to swap in for an emperor-cla.s.s expert?” Zheng Kaiyuan paused for a moment before adding, “Once the blood pact ultimate fight is over, I’ll immediately head over to Lin Yuan’s place. He invited me to visit when we met at the Spirit Food Pavilion.”
Zheng Kaiyuan’s words caused anger to flash across Miao Zhenshan’s eyes.
Miao Zhenshan did not expect Zheng Kaiyuan to be so bold that he would threaten his grandfather.
