Chapter 3050 Scarlet Secrets!
All the Bloodian Queens controlled by Qin Yu and Tina through their Blood Curse were still in a daze.
Previously, Tina"s Adana clan and Qin Yu"s Elisa clan had little interaction and seemed to have conflicts over resources. At that time, Qin Yu had not yet become the Bloodian Queen, and the Elisa clan could not compete with the Adana clan. Fortunately, the Adana clan had not acted against the Elisa clan. Otherwise, they would have suffered heavy losses.
Now, these two Bloodian Queens had formed a team, with Qin Yu as the leader and Tina as her second-in-command.
In terms of strength and clan size, Tina and the Adana clan had completely surpa.s.sed Qin Yu and the Elisa clan. Tina"s att.i.tude toward Qin Yu was exceptionally respectful, though, treating her almost like a superior, akin to how a Bloodian King would treat a Bloodian Queen.
Unusual occurrences often had reasons. Therefore, there was likely a powerful faction behind Qin Yu, suppressing and forcing Tina to submit.
When Qin Yu entered the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, she had four people by her side, but now they were all gone. Furthermore, when facing the rebels, Qin Yu used an extremely special method to eliminate them. These rebels were from factions related to the Bloodian Queens, which were now all suppressed by Qin Yu. When the time came, Lin Yuan would decide how to deal with these factions.
Seeing the other Bloodian Queens looking at her in awe and fear, Qin Yu smiled. She had never thought she would see such a day. It was an honor bestowed upon the Elisa clan by Lin Yuan. Without Lin Yuan, even if she had successfully evolved to Bloodian Queen, she would still be subject to the control of clans with reigning Bloodian Queens.
At present, Qin Yu was not the only one who felt lucky. s.h.i.+ Mei, the leader of the Allen clan who had joined Qin Yu, also felt extremely fortunate.
In s.h.i.+ Mei"s eyes, it was a blessing to form an alliance with a Bloodian Queen, even if this particular one was the least powerful among them all.
s.h.i.+ Mei did not expect the weakest Bloodian Queen to suddenly become the leader of all the Bloodians in the Scarlet Territory. However, this would definitely ensure the rise of the status of the previously obscure Allen clan.
From the moment she became Qin Yu"s subordinate, s.h.i.+ Mei had announced to the outside world that the Allen clan was now under the authority of the Elisa clan. Qin Yu had even entrusted her to negotiate with the other Bloodian Queens and arrange missions for them.
Now, all the Bloodian leaders who possessed the king bloodline were currying favor with s.h.i.+ Mei. Some Bloodian Queens who had previously not even considered speaking to her were now seeking her friends.h.i.+p. s.h.i.+ Mei knew that spring had arrived for the Allen clan!
Just as s.h.i.+ Mei was envisioning the future, she heard Qin Yu say, "s.h.i.+ Mei, relay my orders immediately upon leaving this place. Instruct all Bloodian leaders who are not eligible to enter this place to gather in the Scarlet Corridor.
"A meeting will be held within the Bloodians, and no excuses for absence will be accepted. All leaders must be present, regardless of the circ.u.mstances. Any clan whose leader fails to attend will be expelled, and all members of that clan will become servants, ranking below even the dependent species."
Qin Yu"s tone was grave, leaving no room for negotiation. As the manager of the Scarlet Territory, she needed to establish her authority swiftly and decisively. Setting an example was the best course of action in such times.
For the first time in many years, the Scarlet Territory was unified. Being a leader was not easy, and any misstep would severely impact Qin Yu"s status.
Tina was ambitious but would not challenge Qin Yu due to Lin Yuan"s order. However, if anything happened to Qin Yu, Tina would undoubtedly seize the opportunity.
Qin Yu"s orders gave s.h.i.+ Mei authority, presenting a good opportunity for her and the Allen clan to rise in prominence. As the messenger, s.h.i.+ Mei would earn respect from the Bloodian clans who were not qualified to enter this place, especially given the changes in the Scarlet Territory.
…
After leaving the Scarlet Territory with the Bloodians, Qin Yu waited patiently for Lin Yuan. His absence at two consecutive meetings in the Scarlet Corridor made her nervous. However, considering the influence of Autumn and Winter, she believed Lin Yuan was not in danger within the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.
Even if Lin Yuan was in danger, the Blood Empresses were under her Blood Curse. The Scarlet Territory would remain under her control for the foreseeable future.
However, Qin Yu knew that without Lin Yuan, the Blood Curse alone would not be enough to make the other Bloodian Queens acknowledge her as their leader. She couldn"t eliminate all disobedient Bloodian Queens.
Qin Yu prayed that Lin Yuan would successfully leave the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.
Qin Yu was not the only one waiting for Lin Yuan; Tina was also anxiously awaiting his return. Tina feared that something might happen to Lin Yuan. She had already accepted her role.
To the other Bloodian Queens, this turmoil was caused by Qin Yu and Tina. If anything happened to Lin Yuan, the Scarlet Territory would surely fall into chaos.
Tina did not know Lin Yuan as well as Qin Yu did. Therefore, she was in a state of panic and had approached Qin Yu multiple times to gather more information about Lin Yuan.
Qin Yu understood Tina"s concern and shared her worries. However, Qin Yu must firmly support Lin Yuan under all circ.u.mstances. She couldn"t afford to show any lack of confidence, especially in front of Tina. If Tina sensed any doubt from Qin Yu regarding Lin Yuan, she would likely convey it to him later.
"Tina, we just need to follow Lord Lin Yuan"s instructions and do our own things. You know how strong the two experts on Lord Lin Yuan"s side are. The Land of Bloodian Ancestors only opens once every few years. Lord Lin Yuan will definitely take some time to explore it after entering. The later he comes out, the richer Lord Lin Yuan"s harvest will be. Tina, you can"t possibly hope that Lord Lin Yuan won"t stay in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors for long, right?"
While saying that, Qin Yu did not have much confidence as well. However, when she thought of the fey that could absorb violent souls by Lin Yuan"s side, she felt a little more at ease.
Tina didn"t sense any suspicion from Qin Yu, and finally, she was able to let go of her worries. "Qin Yu, I didn"t ask you to inquire about Lord Lin Yuan"s situation because I don"t trust him. However, the helpers brought in by the other Bloodian Queens are all under our control now. If these people don"t return to their factions soon, trouble is bound to arise. Do you think we should make some preparations?"
During this period, Qin Yu had been worried about these experts. The factions the Bloodian Queens sought help from were all powerful, many of them equal to the Bloodians. These situations were not something she could resolve alone. Without Lin Yuan"s intervention, Qin Yu had no means of handling these matters on her own.
"We just need to wait for Lord Lin Yuan"s arrangements, Tina. Let"s follow the plan I mentioned earlier."
Qin Yu had always avoided disturbing Lin Yuan unnecessarily, but now she felt that she should contact him through the Thoughts Letter Paper and the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower ramet. At the very least, she needed to know if Lin Yuan was dead or alive.
Just as Qin Yu had this thought, her face lit up. She sensed Lin Yuan"s summoning and knew he had already left the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.
"Tina, Lord Lin Yuan has left the Land of Bloodian Ancestors and summoned me. Why don"t you come with me to meet him?
"I"ve noticed you"ve been questioning Lord Lin Yuan"s authority here. I won"t report this matter to him, but I hope this won"t happen again in the future. As Lord Lin Yuan"s servant, you need to trust him. Without that trust, it"s very difficult for you to progress on this path!"
Although Qin Yu was taking advantage of Tina"s situation, most of her words were sincere. She knew Tina was smart and would understand her message.
Tina hurriedly bowed to Qin Yu in panic. "Qin Yu, it"s my fault this time. Please don"t tell Lord Lin Yuan about this. I"ll listen to you in the future and won"t dare to defy you."
Tina had indeed doubted Lin Yuan earlier. If these words reached his ears, it would be difficult for her to regain his trust and be valued by him again.
During this period, Tina felt she had performed well and shown Qin Yu a lot of respect. Therefore, she hoped Qin Yu wouldn"t take drastic measures against her. If she did, it would be hard for Qin Yu to find an a.s.sistant like her. Moreover, Lin Yuan probably did not like a subordinate who complained and stirred up trouble all day long.
…
The moment Qin Yu and Tina saw Lin Yuan, they felt an aura that made them want to kneel and submit to him. Previously, they had never felt this way when meeting Lin Yuan.
After leaving the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, Lin Yuan did not use the Body of All Spirits to activate his pinnacle Bloodian Empress bloodline as it would be too shocking for the Bloodians in the Scarlet Territory. Despite that, Lin Yuan still emitted an overwhelming aura that could suppress low-level Bloodians due to his bloodline.
His aura deeply affected Qin Yu and Tina.
Lin Yuan tried his best to restrain his aura, but it was still ineffective.
Upon sensing Lin Yuan"s aura, Qin Yu and Tina, the two Bloodian Queens, were unable to communicate with him freely.
Autumn and Winter hurriedly released their auras to block Lin Yuan"s bloodline aura, allowing Qin Yu and Tina to recover.
Qin Yu and Tina looked at each other in shock. Lin Yuan"s transformation must have something to do with the harvest in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. Even though they knew this, Qin Yu and Tina didn"t ask too many questions. The two of them reported the recent situation in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors to Lin Yuan seriously.
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised that Qin Yu and Tina had acted fast. They had actually completed their control over the Scarlet Territory while he was absorbing the blood pool"s energy. Naturally, he was very satisfied with Qin Yu and Tina"s abilities.
Lin Yuan hadn"t checked the Bloodians" heritage resources but had given his instructions to Autumn and entrusted him with organizing a portion of the resources to help Qin Yu develop the Scarlet Territory.
Lin Yuan definitely had to repay the Bloodians after taking so many inheritances.
Lin Yuan tossed the resources that had been selected to Qin Yu and said, "Qin Yu, I"ve gained a lot after exploring the Land of Bloodian Ancestors for such a long time. Since I"ve taken control of the Scarlet Territory, I naturally have to be responsible for its development. These resources should be enough for you to develop the Scarlet Territory for a long time.
"The Scarlet Territory will soon witness the emergence of at least ten Bloodian Queens, and there might even be a few additional Bloodian Empresses among them. You"ll help me manage the Scarlet Territory, and Tina will be your a.s.sistant.
"Apart from prioritizing your own use of these resources, you can also use some of them to nurture Tina. As for the other Bloodian Queens, you can decide for yourself.
"I"ll leave the Scarlet Territory in a few days. When I leave the Scarlet Territory, you can contact me through the ramet of the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower as usual."
After exploring the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, Lin Yuan"s heart was no longer in the Scarlet Territory.
Originally, Qin Yu had planned to report to Lin Yuan about her and Tina"s achievements during this period. However, she hadn"t expected Lin Yuan to prepare to leave immediately after providing resources.
Qin Yu did not check the resources in the spatial equipment. Since Lin Yuan said that these resources could allow the Scarlet Territory to have 10 more Bloodian Queens and possibly even a Bloodian Empress, she knew the resources were substantial.
On the other hand, Tina was completely shocked by Lin Yuan"s words.
What? Not only would there be at least ten more Bloodian Queens, but there might even be Bloodian Empresses? Wouldn"t this completely change the predicament of the Bloodians in the East Universe?
It would give them the capability to contend with and even overpower the Bloodians from the other three universes.
Previously, Qin Yu had told Tina more than once that Lin Yuan was extremely generous, but Tina had always been skeptical. Superior clans typically seized the resources of inferior clans, and very few were willing to distribute resources to them.
However, it seemed that Lin Yuan was indeed very generous today. He was even willing to give the resources he had obtained in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors to the Bloodians to develop their territory.
Although the Bloodians in the East Universe had become a species under Lin Yuan"s control, it was their fortune to be able to rise!
