Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 3104 High-Profile Lin Yuan!

Nearly half of the 10,000 factions present already had their own alliances, so it was really inconvenient for them to join Lin Yuan's side and leave. More than 30% of the faction leaders were in contact with Lin Yuan. It was all worth it just to be able to continue trading Creator resources.

Lin Yuan's original intention of cooperating with these factions was to gather some factions around him. He did not really take these factions seriously. Lin Yuan knew very well that these factions that had chosen to join his alliance had their own ulterior motives. If he believed these people, he would inevitably be stabbed in the back.

If he were in the main world, Lin Yuan would definitely treat the various factions that cooperated with him sincerely. However, now that he understood the survival laws of the Sky Beyond the Clouds more and more, Lin Yuan was no longer so naive.

Lin Yuan looked at the leaders of the various factions and said loudly, "Since you're willing to join my alliance, you must understand that everything in my alliance will be subject to my will. Should anyone among you find it challenging to adhere to this principle, staying in the alliance might not be suitable.

"As leaders of various factions, the commitments you make represent the intentions of all members of your respective factions. If you decide to join the alliance today, and later someone from your faction violates my will, I will handle the matter decisively and without compromise."

In the process of various factions forming alliances, those trying to create an alliance often sought to appease the factions, rarely making excessive demands. Unlike Lin Yuan, who insisted that each faction joining the alliance adhere strictly to his will.

Although Lin Yuan did not demand direct control over the factions, his approach effectively required them to submit to his authority in this operation. This immediately sparked discontent among the assembled factions.

An old man with a malicious gaze and a thin frame said, "We are here to seek cooperation, not to be controlled by you. I hope you understand that."

The elder's dissatisfaction was evident as he glared at Lin Yuan. freёwebnoѵel.com

Unfazed, Lin Yuan addressed the other factions, "If anyone shares his sentiments, feel free to step forward now!"

After speaking, Lin Yuan's sharp gaze swept across the room. Less than one-tenth of the factions objected to his words.

"In our collaboration, it's crucial to consider each other's perspectives. How can our cooperation continue smoothly if we only heed one side? Do you all agree?"

The speaker was a middle-aged woman, astutely seeking support from others after her remark. Her words prompted some response from the attendees.

To this woman, Lin Yuan's statements seemed to infringe upon the interests of various factions.

At the moment, no one spoke out, intimidated by the power Autumn had displayed earlier. Any protest now could likely cause more factions to dissent.

As the middle-aged woman anticipated, the factions opposing Lin Yuan's proposal visibly increased.

Before she could smile, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, there's no need for you all to remain here any longer. Leave immediately. If your retreat is too slow, I won't hesitate to kill all of you. I proposed the idea of the alliance, so the rules of this alliance can only be set by me."

While Lin Yuan's approach might appear domineering, he used this method to prioritize eliminating factions with rebellious intentions that couldn't cooperate.

Lin Yuan had only Spring, Autumn, and Winter under his command. His limited manpower was a weakness, making it essential to gather more people.

The factions that had clamored to leave fell silent after Lin Yuan finished speaking. Most did not choose to leave, doubting that Lin Yuan could eliminate so many with just one expert. As the saying went, "The law does not punish the masses."

If Lin Yuan dared to act against so many at once, wouldn't he fear inciting mass retaliation?

Observing their reactions, just as Autumn was about to act, Ling Muzhuo, who had been among the crowd, spoke loudly. "I am the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace. Many of you here know me. Our Fortune Treasure Palace is willing to follow Young Master Lin's arrangements and cooperate closely in the quest for this top grade blessed land.

"If the factions that have just opposed Young Master Lin's authority over the alliance don't leave, our Fortune Treasure Palace will cooperate with Young Master Lin to eliminate them. We're giving you a chance. I believe none of you want to die."

Fortune Treasure Palace spanned the four major universes—East, South, North, and West. Although its influence varied by universe, it held overlord status compared to the other factions present.

The factions did not expect Fortune Treasure Palace to express their support for Lin Yuan. They sensed that Ling Muzhuo must have a connection with him. Otherwise, even if he supported Lin Yuan, he wouldn't have openly threatened to eradicate the opposing factions, a move that would instantly offend them.

Fortune Treasure Palace had always advocated cooperation and harmony, but Ling Muzhuo's current actions were a stark departure from its traditional values and approach.

With Fortune Treasure Palace joining the alliance, following it seemed wise. The alliance's strength was now assured.

As Ling Muzhuo spoke, he radiated a fierce aura that swept through the entire scene, causing the factions that had spoken up against Lin Yuan to quickly retreat.

For those factions that didn't leave despite Ling Muzhuo's warning, Autumn didn't hold back. He casually released a few leaves and used them to kill all the troublemakers.

In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, gentle methods didn't earn respect. Instead, they often led others to perceive one as weak and exploitable.

Before leaving North of the Lonely River, Lin Yuan had learned a harsh lesson from the Crimson Heaven Falcons.

Lin Yuan looked at Ling Muzhuo but said nothing further.

After negotiating with these factions and forming the alliance, Lin Yuan planned to meet with Ling Muzhuo privately.

Since Lin Yuan's alliance was established solely for exploring the top grade blessed land, it would lose its cohesion once the exploration was complete. This temporary nature made the factions more willing to join the alliance.

While the leader of the alliance might appear domineering, and regardless of whether he had the power to back it up, the access to Grade 4 Creator resources alone was enough to make the factions within the alliance tolerate it.

A single trade had now placed Lin Yuan in a position of greater power than the City Lord, Xie Lin.

Lin Yuan did not hide the fact that he had formed an alliance. The various factions in South Face City watched helplessly as Lin Yuan's alliance took shape.

…

Xie Lin couldn't sit still anymore. "Are you sure that Young Master Lin took out so many Grade 4 Creator resources according to the promise and arrogantly killed those people who caused trouble at the scene?"

Jia Mingda hurriedly said, "City Lord, I brought back all the spirit qi crystals I traded for you. The things the other factions traded with various resources are the same as what we traded.

"That Young Master Lin really doesn't take Grade 4 Creator resources seriously at all. He cleaned up a wave of troublemakers before the trade fair began. When he formed the alliance, he was also extremely domineering. I'm sure that this Young Master Lin is definitely from a ridiculously powerful faction!"

Xie Lin had never interacted with Lin Yuan personally, and Jia Mingda was Xie Lin's confidant. Xie Lin fully trusted what Jia Mingda said and didn't believe for a moment that Jia Mingda would deceive him.

Xie Lin muttered to himself in frustration, wondering about the true background of Lin Yuan. It baffled him that he hadn't obtained any information at all!

Jia Mingda said in a low voice, "City Lord, Ling Muzhuo of Fortune Treasure Palace should know Young Master Lin's background. Otherwise, he wouldn't have supported Young Master Lin in front of so many factions. If you really want to know Young Master Lin's identity, we can actually contact him.

"Your relationship with Fortune Treasure Palace has always been quite good, and Fortune Treasure Palace also has influence within our South Face City. You are also a special guest of Fortune Treasure Palace. I believe if Palace Master Ling knew about Lin Yuan's identity, he wouldn't hide it from you, even if he kept it from others!"

Hearing that, Xie Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's meaningless for me to ask about Young Master Lin from Ling Muzhuo. However, it's indeed possible to use Ling Muzhuo's connections to reach out and establish some contact with him."

Jia Mingda could not help but whisper, "City Lord, what we're doing is also for that top grade blessed land, where there are things we must obtain. This Lin Yuan is, to us, essentially a competitor. Do you really need to reach out to him?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Lin snorted and said unhappily, "After all these years, you still haven't broadened your perspective and only see things at face value. Before we ultimately compete for this top grade blessed land, how can there be any so-called competitors?

"Young Master Lin has indeed formed an alliance, but the members of this alliance are scattered and lack unity. How many factions in this alliance can truly be loyal to him? He is still too young to realize this. He exchanged so many resources for such a loose alliance. Perhaps I might be able to obtain some benefits by befriending such a foolish kid.

"You know better than me how much pure spirit qi we need. The spirit qi crystals you traded this time should be enough to revive the Snake Lords. If we can seize some additional opportunities to obtain more spirit qi crystals to revive the four Snake Lords, the competition for the top grade blessed land will basically be assured!"

Xie Lin paused for a moment, then continued. "It would be best for Young Master Lin to withdraw from the competition for this top grade blessed land as early as possible. This way, we can maintain the channel for trading Creator resources. I don't want to ruin this rare channel unless absolutely necessary.

"Mingda, help me contact Ling Muzhuo. Tell him I wish to invite him for a discussion at the City Lord Manor. Make sure he helps me extend an invitation to Young Master Lin as well."

Hearing this, Jia Mingda felt somewhat dissatisfied. How could he have been so short-sighted? But in front of Xie Lin, Jia Mingda didn't dare to argue back and could only reluctantly follow Xie Lin's arrangement.

…

Lin Yuan didn't bother with the factions that joined the alliance. He understood well that as long as he held the Grade 4 Creator resources, these factions would be dependent on him. Regardless of how he managed them now, these factions wouldn't truly pledge allegiance to him.

Lin Yuan poured two cups of Three Treasures Tea from the main world and poured them into the cups in front of Zhao Chen and Ling Muzhuo, "Brother Zhao, Brother Ling, try this tea!"

Although Lin Yuan had brought the Three Treasures Tea from the main world, the ingredients for brewing the Three Treasures Tea had already been nurtured by Lin Yuan using the best Creator resources available to him.

Lin Yuan had already evolved the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. Every osmanthus flower produced by the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus was a supreme treasure.

Zhao Chen had drunk Lin Yuan's wine before, and the Three Treasures Tea was as shocking to him as the spirit wine he had drunk back then.

Upon being treated to Lin Yuan's Three Treasures Tea, Ling Muzhuo gained a clear understanding of Lin Yuan's refined lifestyle.

Ling Muzhuo said with a smile, "Brother Lin, I've known you for quite some time. In my impression, you've always kept a low profile. I never expected that when you decide to be high-profile, you would exude such dominance. I am afraid that your single statement that intimidated countless factions is bound to become widely known throughout the Sky Beyond the Clouds!"

Ling Muzhuo was not just flattering Lin Yuan. He was genuinely surprised by Lin Yuan's actions today. It turned out that the usually low-key guy in his impression could actually make such a high-profile move.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Ling, I don't believe that you can't tell that those factions are willing to stay in the alliance because they fancy the Creator resources I have. To be honest with you, I'm not prepared to manage this alliance.

"It's just that I have too few people on hand, and I need more manpower to compete for this top grade blessed land. The reason they can be so obedient is that Autumn has enough strength. If not for this, I'm afraid there would have been trouble before the trade fair even began."

Ling Muzhuo couldn't help but praise Lin Yuan inwardly. Despite his youth, he displayed neither arrogance nor rashness, leaving a profound impression on Ling Muzhuo. In his view, even the descendants of those hidden factions couldn't hold a candle to Lin Yuan.

Since it was now clear that Lin Yuan was determined to compete for this top grade blessed land, Ling Muzhuo voiced his thoughts to Lin Yuan.
