Chapter 1138 Your Future Will Be Much Brighter If You Side With Me
Lin Yuan needed a little something special to attract and control Hu Tian.
However, Lin Yuan did not just want their loyalty. He also wanted to ensure that they would work hard for his sake.
If these three Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters schemed behind his back, they would become worthless.
Moreover, he could produce high-cla.s.s Creation Master resources and had an army of Hundred Questions Beasts. As such, he was not in as great of a need of Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters as other factions were.
Once Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian finished cleaning up the dirty flood, Lin Yuan tossed a brocade pouch on the ground.
Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian all tensed up.
The fear of witnessing the feminine man’s death could not compare to the possibility of what would happen to them if they did not clean up the b.l.o.o.d.y mess.
While they were cleaning up the blood, they could feel Death breathing down their backs.
Thus, they froze when they saw Lin Yuan toss the brocade pouch to the ground, and they instinctively took a step back.
They looked at Lin Yuan in confusion as they did not understand what his intention was.
Lin Yuan looked at Hu Tian and said, “Pick up the brocade pouch and open it.”
Hu Tian hurriedly bent down and picked up the brocade pouch.
His heart pounded wildly as he opened the brocade pouch.
He did not understand why Lin Yuan had singled him out to pick up the brocade pouch.
Could it be punishment for being slow to start cleaning?
Even if the brocade pouch did contain some form of punishment, Hu Tian knew that he had no right to object.
After all, his life was in Lin Yuan’s hands, and any displeasure on Lin Yuan’s part could result in Hu Tian being split in half.
But after opening the brocade pouch, Hu Tian’s eyes widened into the size of saucers.
He saw that the brocade pouch was full of law crystals with pure laws, which was the most sought-after treasure of all spirit qi professionals and the thing that not even pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters could produce.
Hu Tian ventured a wild guess.
Could Sky City have a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master supporting them? Zheng Kaiyan, Feng Shuang, and Elder He all saw the law crystals in the brocade pouch.
Amidst their shock, they made the same guess as Hu Tian,
Although it seemed unbelievable that Sky City had the support of a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master, there had not been a new Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master since the Moon Empress. As such, it would not be surprising that a new one had appeared.
Everyone present knew the significance of Cla.s.s 5 Creation Masters.
Zheng Kaiyan, Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian did not know why Sky City’s Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master did not declare himself to the imperial court as doing so would place them on the same pedestal as the Radiant Moon Palace, Kitchen Fragrance Palace, and Purple Bamboo Forest.
At that time, countless veteran and top factions would be lining up to strike up a relations.h.i.+p with Sky City.
Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian suddenly felt that the Zheng family was unworthy of engaging in a blood pact ultimate fight with Sky City and that the Zheng family deserved to be destroyed.
They now felt that the Zheng family had essentially offended a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master.
After staring at the brocade pouch in Hu Tian’s hands for a moment, Zheng Kaiyan turned to Lin Yuan and stammered, “M-Master, are these law crystals—”
Before Zheng Kaiyan could finish speaking, Lin Yuan shot him a look that made him realize he had been presumptuous.
Just as Zheng Kaiyan was about to apologize, Lin Yuan said coldly, “Know your place. I’ll tell you things you need to know even if you don’t want to know them. If you ask about things that you don’t need to know, there’s no way you’ll receive an answer.”
Lin Yuan turned and looked straight at Hu Tian as he said, “You’ll have a much brighter future if you side with me and not Connected Beast Park. You can use that person as an example of what’ll happen if you don’t follow
me.”
Elder He and Hu Tian’s eyes lit up.
Although Lin Yuan did not admit that there was a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master in Sky City, he did not deny it either.
Moreover, that bag of law crystals was enough for the three of them to be certain that there was a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master in Sky City.
No matter how much power Sky City held, there was no way they would be able to obtain so many law crystals from the Moon Empress, Bamboo Monarch, or Chef Supreme.
As such, the three of them did not have any objections to Sky City’s outlandish methods.
Hu Tian, who placed his future and resources above all else, felt excitement creep up on him.
As Lin Yuan watched Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian’s reactions, he started to tap the back of the chair and thought, It looks like it’s going to be easy to handle these three people.
However, there was no guarantee that they would keep their mouths shut even after swearing their loyalty.
It would be impossible for Lin Yuan to prevent news of the Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master and law crystals from leaking.
These three were all Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters, and their words carried a significant amount of weight.
If they leaked news of the Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master and law crystals, it would lead to suspicion from the public.
Lin Yuan was not worried about Zheng Kaiyan knowing about this information. He had learned about Zheng Kaiyan’s character from his personal magazine and was sure that Zheng Kaiyan would not dare reveal the news.
A person who was willing to sacrifice the lives of his family and the future of his faction for the sake of freedom was most acutely aware of how precious freedom was.
Additionally, Zheng Kaiyan was not a Creation Master and was nothing more than a cripple young master in the eyes of others.
Hence, Zheng Kaiyan’s words did not hold much weight amongst the public.
Moreover, the conflict between Sky City and the Zheng family would lead to the a.s.sumption that Zheng Kaiyan was only saying such words after being driven insane by the deaths of his family.
