Chapter 3096 The Chaotic South Face City!
This time, Sky City seemed intent on coming to exact punishment. If they did not reach the temple at the specified time, Chi Ling felt that he would lose his life.
Chi Ling had always believed that his senses were very accurate. Rather than following the family clan"s directives, Chi Ling preferred to follow his own instincts.
Chi Ling persuaded, "The Second Elder has issued an order to the entire species, but only core members like us know about Lord Lin Yuan"s request. The leader has never met Lord Lin Yuan, so he doesn"t know the power he wields. Explaining it to him is futile. If you have such thoughts, then Chi Jue and I will head to the temple first.
"Second Elder, I have a feeling that if we don"t go to the temple, it will definitely cause a huge commotion. We seem to be free now, but everything is under Sky City"s control. Is this not clear to you, even if the Leader doesn"t understand it?"
Upon hearing Chi Ling"s words, Chi Zhentian"s heart wavered even more.
At that moment, Chi Zhentian heard Chi Ling continue, "Second Elder, I know that some of my past actions have caused you to be dissatisfied with me, but the choices I made were indeed what I thought were right at the time. That"s why I have never apologized to you. Just like I now believe that you are more suited to lead our Crimson Heaven Falcons forward!
"Sky City needs obedient managers, but the manager of the Crimson Heaven Falcons can"t meet Sky City"s requirements.
"I"ve already warned the leader in advance, but he doesn"t take my words seriously at all. He"s still stubborn. You have always felt that I do not prioritize the interests of the Crimson Heaven Falcons in my actions.
"However, if I truly disregarded the species" interests entirely, I would not be discussing this with you now. I want you to lead the development of the Crimson Heaven Falcons and guide it to rise!
"If I report what the Crimson Heaven Falcons are planning to Sky City, I think Sky City will be willing to give me a managerial position. However, I didn"t do that as I also don"t want to witness the Crimson Heaven Falcons embark on a path of no return!"
At this point, Chi Jue calculated the time. If he really couldn"t persuade Chi Zhentian, Chi Ling could only bring Chi Jue along.
Chi Zhentian took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the Crimson Heaven Falcons"s meeting hall before making his decision, "Alright, I"ll go to the temple with you. I hope the leader"s decision won"t cause the Crimson Heaven Falcons to fall into eternal d.a.m.nation!"
Upon hearing this, a mocking expression appeared on Chi Jue"s face, "Second Elder, I have always regarded you as the wisest advisor to the leader. When I say this, I have no intention of flattering you.
"What I mean is, if you were in charge of Sky City, how would you deal with the disobedient dependent species? I believe your approach would probably be the same as Sky City"s last resort."
As soon as Chi Zhentian imagined it, he couldn"t help but s.h.i.+ver, and then a look of struggle appeared on his face.
Chi Zhentian then said to Chi Jue and Chi Ling in a serious tone, "Before going to the temple, I have to return to the meeting hall and bring as many people as possible to Sky City"s temple. At the very least, we must ensure that our Crimson Heaven Falcons retain enough of a spark to survive!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Jue felt a great deal of admiration for Chi Zhentian, but he immediately stated that he would not accompany Chi Zhentian in this endeavor.
Chi Ling was about to agree when Chi Jue stopped him. "Second Elder, if your current ability is on par with the leader, I"m willing to help. However, you don"t have that ability now.
"If the leader finds out that while he"s gathering and mobilizing all members of the species, you"re planning to go to the temple, do you think he"ll still allow you to go? If we go with you to do this, you might have a chance to leave, but Chi Ling and I don"t have the ability to resist.
"Do you believe that besides the three of us, there are definitely other members of the Crimson Heaven Falcons who will go to the temple?
"Chi Ling and I have no choice but to take care of ourselves first. I hope you can forgive us. Whether or not you want to return to the meeting hall to be a savior, Chi Ling and I will not interfere with you. So please don"t interfere with us."
After saying that, Chi Jue bowed to Chi Zhentian and returned to his original form before flying toward the temple.
Chi Ling glanced at Chi Zhentian and then at the direction Chi Jue had left in. Then, he bowed to Chi Zhentian as if he was apologizing and left to chase after Chi Jue.
…
Lin Yuan brought Autumn to the temple at exactly one hour and saw that there were only eight members of the Crimson Heaven Falcons inside. These eight individuals happened to be the first few members of the Crimson Heaven Falcons who initially pledged allegiance to Sky City.
Lin Yuan"s smile grew increasingly colder.
At that moment, a long-haired female Crimson Heaven Falcon reported, "Lord, the leader is having an internal meeting. Most of the members are in the meeting room. I believe that following your orders is far more important than attending an internal meeting, so I came to the temple first. Among these people, I"m the first to arrive!"
Even though this long-haired female Crimson Heaven Falcon was just a minor figure within the species, even the smallest figure knew to seize opportunities for themselves.
Lin Yuan ignored her and asked Chi Zhentian coldly when he saw him in the temple, "Are the Crimson Heaven Falcons preparing to rebel against Sky City? Even after being given an hour"s notice in advance, they remained indifferent. Chi Zhentian, you"re the Second Elder of the Crimson Heaven Falcons. Shouldn"t you give me an explanation?"
Chi Zhentian lowered his head and said, "Lord Lin Yuan, the one who truly holds power in the Crimson Heaven Falcons is the leader. My authority has been taken over by the leader. If I were in charge of the Crimson Heaven Falcons, I could guarantee that every living member of the species would be present at the temple without a single one missing."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan snorted coldly. "Since the Crimson Heaven Falcons are no longer under Sky City"s leaders.h.i.+p, there"s no point in keeping them alive. Your Crimson Heaven Falcons are a native of North of the Lonely River.
"In the beginning, you coveted our faith country and wanted to attack it. Not only did I not blame you, but after the Crimson Heaven Falcons pledged allegiance to me, I even let you keep the treasure you"ve been guarding all along and did not seize the opportunity from your species. Is this how your species repays me?
"In that case, I think there"s no need for your Crimson Heaven Falcons to continue existing! Autumn, go and destroy the Crimson Heaven Falcons. They are now reduced to just a few of you and hardly const.i.tute a species anymore. Join the Spinning Wings White Falcons as members of their species!"
Upon hearing Lin Yuan"s words, Bai Yunzong, who had brought the Spinning Wings White Falcons to the temple, looked excited.
Lin Yuan"s words not only strengthened the power of the Spinning Wings White Falcons, but it also made the Spinning Wings White Falcons, which had always been a dependent species, to completely step on the heads of the Crimson Heaven Falcons.
Out of over 5,000 dependent species of the Spinning Wings White Falcons, only fewer than 80 had come to wait outside the temple alongside the members of the Spinning Wings White Falcons.
Autumn said with a cold expression, "Young Master, you were too kind to them previously, making them forget their ident.i.ties. When we deal with the Crimson Heaven Falcons later, I will also take care of their dependent species who did not show up.
"As the species you brought back from the Coiling Dragon Mountain have arrived at North of the Lonely River, this area has become increasingly crowded. It"s time to eliminate some disobedient species before you leave to avoid the unstable factors."
After speaking, Autumn didn"t leave Lin Yuan"s side. Instead, he shook his hand and scattered a handful of fallen leaves. These leaves flew into the distance with Autumn"s movement.
Chi Zhentian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and hurriedly pleaded with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan looked at Chi Zhentian prostrating on the ground and asked calmly, "Back then, when you ruled North of the Lonely River, there should be many species pleading with you, right? Did you give them a chance?
"You know very well how the Crimson Heaven Falcons joined under the banner of Sky City. Instead of feeling grateful, they have become rebellious. In the future, the few of you should focus on developing within the Spinning Wings White Falcons. If I find out that any of you caused trouble in the Spinning Wings White Falcons, I won"t be so benevolent as to spare your bloodline!"
Lin Yuan"s words left no room for reb.u.t.tal, causing Chi Zhentian"s body to immediately collapse to the ground. In contrast, Chi Jue remained calm and showed no sign of feeling that Lin Yuan"s destruction of the Crimson Heaven Falcons was inappropriate in any way.
The Crimson Heaven Falcons" attempt to rebel against the rule of Sky City was an act that could shake the foundations of Sky City. If such behavior could be forgiven, how could Sky City manage the vast North of the Lonely River?
After issuing the order, Lin Yuan turned to Su Yiren and said, "Yiren, you can arrange for some powerful species to take over the territories of the Crimson Heaven Falcons for development. Although this area has not been transformed by blessed lands and is somewhat barren, its large size can accommodate many species."
It was rare for Su Yiren to see Lin Yuan so decisive. Lin Yuan"s decisiveness made Su Yiren feel that he had become even more charming.
On the other hand, Wen Yu"s expression was solemn. Having witnessed Autumn"s methods many times before, Wen Yu knew that when Autumn waved his hand and scattered those few leaves, most of the Crimson Heaven Falcons and their absent dependent species were likely already completely annihilated.
However, Wen Yu did not find Lin Yuan"s actions cruel at all. The Crimson Heaven Falcons"s attacks on Sky City had inflicted lasting damage on the faith country, which remained vivid in her memory to this day.
However, Wen Yu needed some time to change her mindset. Wen Yu had a strong adaptability and learning ability. At the same time, she was looking forward to the training that Lin Yuan would arrange for her and Liu Jie.
…
After dealing with this matter, Lin Yuan had Spring, Autumn, and Winter resolve the other unstable factors in the faith country.
After dealing with all these unstable factors, Lin Yuan brought Spring, Autumn, and Winter to South Face City.
Lin Yuan liked to plan ahead and ensured there was ample time along the way. When he encountered the star pirates, Lin Yuan made a deliberate effort to eliminate them.
The closer he got to South Face City, the more Lin Yuan could sense the gathering of various factions. At this time, tens of thousands of factions were rus.h.i.+ng to South Face City and it was most likely related to the top grade blessed land that had suddenly appeared.
However, the vast majority of these factions were not particularly strong. They struggled even to contend for a mid-grade blessed land, let alone have any chance of seizing the treasures produced by this top grade blessed land.
With many factions gathered in South Face City, the entire city was in chaos.
The majority of these factions were akin to those that gathered outside the Coiling Dragon Mountain when the mid-tier blessed land appeared. They were prepared to take advantage of the chaos and engage in underhanded dealings to profit at the expense of other factions!
These weak factions were constantly playing the role of hunters and prey. Regardless of which top factions ultimately owned this top grade blessed land, many factions would suffer fatalities. At the same time, many factions would seize this opportunity to rise up.
Before they reached South Face City, Lin Yuan and his group had already been targeted by a few factions with a large number of people.
Spring, Autumn, and Winter followed beside Lin Yuan and did not reveal any aura. They appeared to be ordinary beings without any apparent power.
Autumn had gotten rid of all the factions that wanted to rob Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had also obtained a lot of information through the intelligent Connected Tails and the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom"s interrogation ability.
These relatively weaker factions did not have the capability for long-distance travel, so they were inherently located near South Face City. They could help Lin Yuan gain some understanding of South Face City.
Located at the border between the East and the South Universe, South Face City"s most noteworthy aspect was its martial force.
South Face City itself did not produce any resources, but the business in the city was exceptionally developed. Apart from the supplies produced in South Universe, they also sold captives seized on the battlefield.
Most of these captives were members of the factions in the South Universe, but there were also some members of the factions from the East Universe who were sold as captives in the South Universe.
The star pirates liked places with weak management like South Face City the most.
The City Lord of South Face City spent all his time on expanding the combat power system and did not care about the lives of the weak factions and species at all. He even collaborated with the star pirates and used them as a means to achieve his own ends.
After learning about this, Lin Yuan"s impression of the City Lord of South Face City had reached an extremely low point.
Summer said at the side, "Young Master, the environment in South Face City has improved a lot compared to before. Previously, the environment was undoubtedly much more chaotic.
"In a large city located at the border between universes, it"s impossible to achieve complete stability under the rule of the City Lord. In such a place, the City Lord, who is the spokesperson of Honor Absent Palace, actually doesn"t have much authority."
