Chapter 2966 Fu Mi!
Lin Yuan shot Liu Chen a look. Water, fire, wind, and earth elements weaved together into a long rope, with thunder elements coursing along its length.
Like a snake, the long rope reached out to the one-eyed man. The long rope shot into the one-eyed man"s still-blind eye. As the thunder energy on the long rope paralyzed the one-eyed man"s body, it completely imprisoned him.
Liu Chen and Liu Yao knew that Lin Yuan intended to collect the bodies of experts, so Liu Chen had deliberately preserved the completeness of the one-eyed star pirate"s body when he attacked him.
Lin Yuan tapped his finger on the table and told Liu Chen, "Let him release his holy spirit for me to see. I want to see if it is useful to me."
Liu Chen said respectfully, "Young Master, I"ll draw out his holy spirit now!"
The long rope probed into the one-eyed man"s body, and it was unclear what changes occurred within him. Nevertheless, his body began to tremble rapidly. The aura of the divine kingdom was released. In no time, a slightly illusory holy spirit surged out of the one-eyed man"s divine kingdom.
Lin Yuan released the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to check the one-eyed man"s holy spirit.
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen shook her head at Lin Yuan. She despised the one-eyed man"s holy spirit.
"Master, this is a both metal-type and earth-type holy spirit. Its ability is to increase the activity of metal and earth elements, as well as its agility and st.u.r.diness. The effect of this holy spirit is really too poor. I don"t want to turn his holy spirit into a holy maid. However, I can refine his divine kingdom into the pure land of the G.o.ds. The holy spirit can also be used as nutrients for the holy maids."
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen"s evaluation of this one-eyed man was like a diner evaluating a piece of steak.
At that moment, it was in a state of meticulous scrutiny. Her words made the other star pirates tense up at the same time.
These star pirates robbed experts everywhere, annihilating countless species and factions. However, they had never treated other lifeforms as nutrients to increase their strength like the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.
This one-eyed man was nutrients to the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, so what was the difference between them?
The moment Lin Yuan summoned the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, he had already sealed the star pirate group"s fate. Otherwise, she would not have revealed herself so easily.
Lin Yuan said to the star pirates with a smile, "You know very well what my goal is. As a group of star pirates, when plotting against other factions and species, you have to be mentally prepared to be executed by them.
"I won"t let you off. Both your divine kingdoms and holy spirits will be used by me to achieve my goals and become my nutrients. However, one of you can survive. I wonder who among you desires this chance to live?"
Lin Yuan"s words caused the expressions of these star pirates to become abnormally complicated. However, the core members of this star pirate group were all here, and they had been together for more than 1,000 years.
In the face of Lin Yuan"s threat, even if some people were tempted, they did not immediately make the decision to betray the star pirates.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and said, "Since you don"t have the ability to make a decision for the time being, I"ll let you calm down for a while!"
Lin Yuan then glanced at Liu Chen.
Liu Chen understood tacitly and shot out more than ten ropes made of elemental energy, piercing into the bodies of the few Holy Spirit star pirates. As for the remaining Divine Kingdom star pirates, Liu Chen dealt with them.
Liu Chen calmly walked over and stored the bodies of the Divine Kingdom experts that had been disposed of in his spatial equipment. These were all high-quality delicacies for the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.
The Holy Spirit experts who had been pierced by the elemental ropes could not move. Their bodies were in a numb state, and they had lost their perception of the outside world, but their thoughts remained active.
Lin Yuan believed that when these Holy Spirit experts realized that their lives were in his hands, more than half of the members would be willing to obtain this chance to live. Star pirates had no principles to speak of. However, it was not certain who would be the first to recognize reality and show loyalty to Lin Yuan.
No matter how sincere the star pirates who possessed holy spirits suitable to be refined into holy maids were, Lin Yuan would not give them a chance. Lin Yuan didn"t want to forgive a star pirate because he was prepared to take this star pirate under his wing and nurture them. Lin Yuan only wanted this star pirate to gather all the members of the star pirate group outside to prevent future troubles.
Lin Yuan believed that even if he didn"t express it explicitly, intelligent star pirates would surely understand his intentions.
Liu Chen activated the holy spirits of these star pirates one by one and let the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen inspect them.
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen immediately showed interest in the holy spirit of one of the star pirates.
"Master, this holy spirit is both water-type and ice-type. Its ability is to weaken the other elements and reduce their activity through water and ice elements. If refined into a holy maid, it would prove invaluable in battle. Over yonder, we have a wood-type holy spirit. Its specialty lies in augmenting other ent.i.ties. Converting it into a holy maid would yield an exceptional support unit.
"There"s also a rare spiritual-type holy spirit. If its ability was to bolster resistance against spiritual ent.i.ties, it could potentially be transformed into a holy maid. However, its primary function involves interfering with the minds of other holy spirits, rendering it unsuitable for transformation. As per our initial strategy, it"s prudent to target functional-type ent.i.ties."
After reaching the Sacred Source 12 Stars, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen gained autonomy, enabling it to select the most compatible holy maid.
The two star pirates with holy spirits that were suitable to be converted into holy maids were destined to die. Since the holy maids needed to be transformed by living holy spirits, Lin Yuan did not get rid of the two star pirates immediately.
Liu Chen whispered to Lin Yuan, "Young Master, one of the two star pirates that Young Master has just selected is the leader of this star pirate group. According to the information that Liu Yao and I heard, the Sacred Body Stone is in the hands of this leader."
Lin Yuan nodded. "Since the Sacred Body Stone is on this star pirate group leader, we will soon be able to prove whether this star pirate group possesses it or not. They"ve been thinking about it for a while. I think they"re almost done. Liu Chen, let go of their restraints!"
Liu Chen had just subdued his thunder energy when the striking woman, with fiery red hair, red eyes, and an aura of cold beauty, spoke first.
"My lord, I am Fu Mi," she began. "Deputy leader of this star pirate group, responsible for external communication. If I pledge allegiance to you, I can rally our members and manage our spies. Even our leader is unaware of their arrangements."
As soon as Fu Mi finished, several star pirates erupted in anger. Clearly, they hadn"t antic.i.p.ated her surrendering first. Yet, there were others who, upon hearing her words, hastily expressed their willingness to submit, hoping to secure their survival as the sole survivors of the group.
Lin Yuan"s gaze lifted to Fu Mi. He noticed the horns protruding from her head, confirming she was a devil. Fu Mi emanated the essence of the devil bloodline, evident in the characteristic horns adorning her head.
Devil tattoos appeared on the two long horns. It was either the concentration of the devil bloodline in Fu Mi"s body was high enough, or Fu Mi was deliberately stimulating her bloodline.
Lifeforms with devil bloodlines were indeed intelligent. Fu Mi had guessed the reason Lin Yuan wanted to keep her alive. Her words indicated that she had engaged in serious contemplation and accurately pinpointed the issues that mattered to her.
Fu Mi was the one who had been eliminated by the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen as a spiritual-type holy spirit. If Fu Mi was spared, Lin Yuan could hand her over to the devil group and let them nurture her!
Lin Yuan ignored the other star pirates and spoke directly to Fu Mi. "You said that you"re the deputy leader in charge of external communication, so take the initiative to release your holy spirit and let me control it. Then, gather all the members of your star pirate group outside. How well you handle this matter will determine your future treatment."
Fu Mi was originally extremely nervous. On the one hand, she was afraid that she had guessed Lin Yuan"s motive wrongly. On the other hand, she was also afraid that Lin Yuan would not choose her in the end.
A big shot like Lin Yuan was likely someone who would keep his word. If he chose to spare others, Fu Mi would be left with no options but a dead end. Not only would she die, but everything about her, including the holy spirit, would also be absorbed as nutrients in the future.
After all the effort Fu Mi had put into her growth to reach this point, she certainly didn"t want to end up in such a predicament.
Fu Mi heaved a sigh of relief when Lin Yuan chose her. What Fu Mi had just said to Lin Yuan was absolutely true. With so many star pirates there, she could not lie to Lin Yuan. Once she lied, she would be exposed by the other star pirates.
Fu Mi knew very well that she had a genuine compet.i.tive relations.h.i.+p with the other members, which left no room for mistakes. An intelligent person like Fu Mi would not let others have something on her.
Since Lin Yuan had chosen Fu Mi, it meant that the others had lost their chance to live. The other star pirates quickly fought for themselves.
Upon listening to the star pirates" wails and roars, Lin Yuan said, "I have always been a soft-hearted person and am willing to give you a chance.
"Now, Fu Mi, tell me about the internal situation and secrets of your star pirate group. The rest of you can correct Fu Mi"s words and supplement them after Fu Mi has finished explaining the situation. As long as the number of corrections and supplements exceeds three, I will re-screen from among you and choose a new person among you to be spared."
Lin Yuan had now gained control over Fu Mi. Since Fu Mi claimed that she was their deputy leader, she would definitely understand the situation of their group very well.
Lin Yuan wanted to understand the situation of this star pirate group. Elite star pirate groups held a lot of information, and Lin Yuan believed that a smart person like Fu Mi would certainly not disappoint him.
There was no trace of nervousness on Fu Mi"s face when she heard Lin Yuan. Fu Mi was certain that she was the person with the most information within the star pirate group. After all, she was in charge of all external matters.
In order to ensure her irreplaceable position in the star pirate group, Fu Mi had deliberately concealed some information, especially from Pang Jie, the leader.
Since Lin Yuan wanted to know the situation in the star pirate group, Fu Mi did not mind telling him everything.
After pondering for a while, Fu Mi told Lin Yuan everything she knew. She did not give the other members a chance to correct her.
Since she wanted to tell him everything, Fu Mi did not hide the information about the Sacred Body Stone. Her explanation lasted for nearly three days.
Wen Yu recorded Fu Mi"s words. After sorting them out, Lin Yuan realized that this star pirate group had really done all kinds of evil. However, after doing so many evil deeds, they had acc.u.mulated a lot of wealth.
After Fu Mi finished explaining the situation, Lin Yuan looked at the other members and saw that Pang Jie had an extremely ugly expression.
Pang Jie had not expected Fu Mi to hide so much useful information from him, causing him to be unable to determine if what Fu Mi had said was true or false.
"Why don"t you have anything to add after Fu Mi finishes speaking? In that case, I can only conclude that everything Fu Mi said is true. There"s no need for me to keep you useless fellows!"
At that moment, an angry shout echoed. "Fu Mi, is what you"re doing fair to us? We"ve always respected and treated you as our Second Sister."
Fu Mi looked up and saw the man in a white robe beside her. Her face was red with anger as she said helplessly, "Sixth Brother, I really don"t know if I should call you naive or stupid for saying such things to me. Don"t you know that our leader has been using us? I remember that you know all of this. Could it be that in a team like ours, you, fool, have put in genuine effort?
"I joined this team later than all of you, but I was able to become the deputy leader. Isn"t it because I"m more intelligent than all of you combined? I"ve never thought of myself as your Second Sister.
"If Pang Jie wasn"t stronger than us and had been secretly suppressing me, I would have left this team long ago. I wouldn"t have waited until now. I hope you understand what"s going on. If there"s a next life, don"t be so stupid!"
