Chapter 467: Lord Guard Envoy
The layers of dark clouds in the sky suddenly released snow powder. As they fell, they gradually turned into goose feathers.
As soon as the goose feather-shaped snow fell onto the sea’s surface, it turned the sea surface into ice. While the snow fell, the air in the surrounding became so icy cold that it transformed into pale white flames of ice.
It looked just like fireworks in the middle of an ice storm.
Jiao Hanzhong watched as the snow fell toward the pot of Cold Snow Pine in his hand. As he experienced this beautiful scene, he suddenly felt that this was rather ironic.
This was the day of the World Cleansing that he had been waiting for days and nights. However, this day had actually become the day of his funeral.
Jiao Hanzhong said to Lin Yuan in a deep tone, “I will perish today, but you have killed a member of the Zheng main family’s Nightmare Squad, just for the thunderous revenge from the Zheng main family!”
When Lin Yuan heard Jiao Hanzhong’s words, he felt that it was rather sad for this emperor-cla.s.s expert. Jiao Hanzhong was already at the emperor-cla.s.s and possessed Myth Breed feys, but he still felt that the Zheng main family was the eternal support even at his demise.
Lin Yuan said in a cold voice, “If the Zheng main family wants revenge, my Sky City shall accept it.”
Once Lin Yuan finished his statement, a shout came from the horizon. “Who is causing trouble at Indigo Azure City’s sea region!?”
The spatial zone shook intensively, and a crevice was ripped open. The crevice then turned into a door.
Three men walked out of the door.
One of them was wearing Indigo Azure Guards’ azure-colored armor, but it had many additional bright silver patterns that were like waves.
Just based on the bright silver patterns, Lin Yuan could see that this man should be the Indigo Azure Guard Captain. He was the person aside from the Indigo Azure City Lord who had the most authority in Indigo Azure City.
The two other men were wearing Spirit Guard uniforms.
The man in the Indigo Azure Guard armor a.s.sessed the situation of the barren island. Once he saw the World Cleansing that was descending from the sky, he frowned slightly and bowed to the two Spirit Guards. “My lords, I hope that you can help this emperor-cla.s.s expert from the Zheng family to endure this tribulation.”
As the Indigo Azure Guard captain, the middle-aged man had obviously recognized Jiao Hanzhong’s ident.i.ty. Seeing that Jiao Hanzhong’s Cold Snow Pine was facing the World Cleansing, he quickly asked for help from the two Spirit Guards.
The two Spirit Guards didn’t summon any fey. One of them waved the hand and produced a spatial energy s.h.i.+eld to protect the Cold Snow Pine, temporarily helping Cold Snow Pine to isolate the icy snow that was falling.
The other Spirit Guard looked at the sky that was producing the World Cleansing and sent out fire-elemental energy.
The two moves had been controlled delicately and weren’t considered too strong. However, it was enough to help the current Cold Snow Pine to go through the World Cleansing and successfully upgrade.
Lin Yuan was silently shocked by the prowess of the two Spirit Guards who casually made their moves.
These two individuals were obviously S-rank experts and possessed Myth Breed feys. They might not have summoned any feys, but their casual moves were already at the same strength level as the Mother of Bloodbath.
If these two Spirit Guards were to summon their feys, they would be at the level of Suzerain/Myth III and were at Endless Summer’s strength level.
Receiving help from others was supposed to be a good thing, but Jiao Hanzhong was flabbergasted.
He was originally planning to wait until the harshest moment of the World Cleansing before he tossed the Cold Snow Pine over and executed its exclusive skill at full power. This would be considered his strongest attack before his death.
However, now that the Indigo Azure Guard Captain and the two Spirit Guard experts were here, Jiao Hanzhong wouldn’t be able to execute his plan.
At the same time, Jiao Hanzhong’s eyes flashed with hope.
If this was purely a personal feud, the Indigo Azure Guard Captain and the two Spirit Guards wouldn’t help him. However, if he changed his method of explanation, the Spirit Guards wouldn’t allow Lin Yuan to kill him now.
In fact, it would cause the Spirit Guards to investigate Lin Yuan.
As such, Jiao Hanzhong shouted to the Indigo Azure Guard Captain and the two Spirit Guards with resolution, “Lord Spirit Guards, they have a carcinoma fey.
“My lords, don’t you see that this sea region has no life at all? It is because they placed the Sea Burial Lotus Flower in the sea.”
After hearing Jiao Hanzhong mention the carcinoma fey, the two Spirit Guards turned stern. But once they heard that someone used the entire sea region to nurture the carcinoma fey, Sea Burial Lotus Flower, the two Spirit Guards frowned even more intensively.
They immediately turned to look at Endless Summer and Mother of Bloodbath, who were the strongest.
Lin Yuan responded by stepping forward and bowing to the Spirit Guards.
Just as Lin Yuan was going to speak, one of the Spirit Guards asked first, “We are the Guard Envoys that will be overseeing the Indigo Azure City during the active period of the dimensional rifts. Do you people really have the carcinoma fey? Is it really as he mentioned, that you are using the vitality of the entire sea region to nurture the Sea Burial Lotus Flower?”
Guard Envoys were merely one rank lower than the Chief Guard. A Guard Envoy needed to work in the Spirit Guards for at least ten years, and the Guard Envoy’s strength had to be of a certain level in order to apply for the role.
Every time during the time of crisis like the active period of the dimensional rifts, the Guard Envoys would be the ones to lead the members of the Spirit Guards to solve the problems.
Lin Yuan naturally wouldn’t lie to these experts who protected the Radiance Federation. As such, he took the actual body of the Sea Burial Lotus Flower out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone and said, “It is true that I found this Sea Burial Lotus Flower in the coastal sea. However, I wasn’t the one that placed it here. I wouldn’t turn the entire sea region into a dead region just for one Sobbing Sea Crystal.”
One of the Guard Envoys revealed a contemplating expression as he looked at the Sea Burial Lotus Flower in Lin Yuan’s hand and took another look at the coastal sea.
The Indigo Azure Guard Captain looked at Duan He, who was standing there with a flabbergasted expression.
Even if there is any confusion, Duan He wouldn’t be dumbfounded? What is going on? Does he not have enough sleep?
The Indigo Azure Guard Captain was preparing to find out more about the situation here through Duan He, so he went over toward Duan He.
It was obvious that the Indigo Azure Guard Captain would be more familiar with Duan He as compared to Jiao Hanzhong.
Liu Jie walked near Lin Yuan from behind and pointed at his own mask, signaling that he was going to take it off. As a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Liu Jie could be a witness for this incident and explain to the two Spirit Guard Envoys.
Lin Yuan shook his head and casually handed a brocade box to Liu Jie.
The brocade box looked dull and ordinary in appearance, but when Liu Jie held it, he realized that the surface was extremely soft and smooth. It was white in color, but when the sunlight reflected off it, it felt like there was a moon radiance that should only be seen at night.
Lin Yuan said to Liu Jie, “Brother Liu, help me to hand this brocade box to the two Lord Guard Envoys.”
Liu Jie was rather confused as he walked toward the two Guard Envoys with the brocade box.
When the two Guard Envoys saw the material of the brocade box, their eyes widened. They exchanged looks and saw the expression of shock and disbelief on each other’s faces.
