In order for this young man with dark green hair to be the main mouthpiece, he would first have to suppress and convince Lin Yuan to side with him.
Spring intended to release her aura to teach a lesson to this lifeform who had the audacity to butt heads with Lin Yuan. But before she could do so, Lin Yuan gently lifted his hand and stopped her.
Spring did not know what Lin Yuan was planning and looked up at the nine people in front of her.
With a single glance, she realized the background that this dark, green-haired young man came from.
The Sky Radish Endless Vines were a very rare and small species. Yet, they made it onto the Species Ranking every year. Even during their weakest years, their name never failed to appear on the Species Ranking.
The Sky Radish Endless Vines were known for taking control of other species and forcing them to do their bidding. The other eight men all came from different beast species.
Due to their bloodline, it was very easy for Sky Radish Endless Vines to reach the pinnacle of World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. All they needed to do was put in the slightest of effort.
However, the Sky Radish Endless Vine had a weakness that applied to every rare and small species. The members engaged in continuous, intense, and negative competition with each other.
The Sky Radish Endless Vines were one of the rare species that could cannibalize each other and absorb other members' bloodlines to strengthen their own.
From certain perspectives, the Sky Radish Endless Vines were not suitable to be nurtured as subordinates.
Lin Yuan always had the option of using the Body of All Spirits to absorb a portion of the Sky Radish Endless Vines' bloodline.
The Sky Radish Endless Vine's bloodline had the strong and enviable power of revival.
Once the bloodline was activated, they could be revived quickly as long as more than half of their body was preserved and their roots were undamaged. It was said that at extremely high levels, their bloodline could even revive spiritual energy and soul power. But this was just a rumor, and it was unknown if any Sky Radish Endless Vine in the past few epochs had reached this stage.
Technically, the Sky Radish Endless Vine bloodline shared some origins with Spring's bloodline. However, their connection was not as deep as that of Winter and the Collapsing White Deer.
Spring used her soul voice to tell Lin Yuan about this dark green-haired young man's situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Yuan thought, This special honor guest really isn't an ordinary character!
Lin Yuan wanted to see what this Sky Radish Endless Vine was planning to do next.
Jin Chen did not underestimate Lin Yuan just because he came with a small group. Only experts who had reached the Holy Spirit level were allowed to take a seat here.
Fortune Treasure Palace only recognized the individual and not the individual's background.
Even if someone wanted to bank on their title as a special honor guest, the influence and effects would be null if they were not currently in Fortune Treasure Palace.
In order to take over the position of leader, Jin Chen was already using his own methods to suppress Lin Yuan and study his background. He had no idea that his own background had already been fully exposed!
When Lin Yuan did not respond, Jin Chen went on to say, "You arrived here before we did. Yet, you didn't come to greet us. How rude!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. Even if they wanted to start trouble, was it really necessary to use such childish sparring of words?
However, Lin Yuan was willing to have some fun with this dark green-haired young man.
Jin Chen was trying to overwhelm Lin Yuan in the hopes that he would submit to him.
But Lin Yuan was also trying to overwhelm Jin Chen. He not only coveted Jin Chen's bloodline but also his person.
The Sky Radish Endless Vine members were not only distrustful of each other due to their bloodline. No one wanted to sacrifice their life to become tools and help other members of their species to increase their power.
Hence, if Lin Yuan tried to suppress and take over this young man, none of the other Sky Radish Endless Vines would stop him.
"Why should I pay you any respect? Do you think that you deserve respect and flattery wherever you go just because you're a Sky Radish Endless Vine?"
Jin Chen was shocked that Lin Yuan immediately exposed his identity.
Lin Yuan noticed that Jin Chen's expression had grown solemn after hearing what he said. This caused Lin Yuan's lips to curl elegantly.
Jin Chen was already awash in waves of shock and stupefaction.
He had wanted to investigate Lin Yuan's identity. Not only had he failed to do so, but his identity had also been fully stripped and exposed.
It would not be difficult for Lin Yuan to find a Sky Radish Endless Vine and make them his subordinate. If he revealed his identity, plenty of Sky Radish Endless Vines would clamor to become his subordinate.
This young Sky Radish Endless Vine had no idea just what opportunity he had stumbled on!
In truth, Spring could not make any decisions for Lin Yuan. He would be the one to decide whether Jin Chen and his eight subordinates lived or died.
Before Jin Chen became aware of Lin Yuan's power, threatening him was the best method of subjugating him!
Spring's method was meant to demonstrate her power to Jin Chen. Once he saw that even someone with her power was willing to submit to Lin Yuan, Jin Chen would make inferences before coming to a decision.
Given Spring's understanding of Lin Yuan, he would not kill anyone within Fortune Treasure Palace as long as he was in partnership with Zhan Lu and Fortune Treasure Palace. He would extend the appropriate courtesy to Fortune Treasure Palace.
But it was clear that Jin Chen did not think this way. He did not dare to risk crossing Fortune Treasure Palace and staking his life on the line!
Jin Chen heard from Zhan Lu that he wanted to introduce him to one of Fortune Treasure Palace's new special honor guests. It was likely that he was referring to Lin Yuan.
However, a minute to decide his fate was far too little time!
He did not have any mental preparation at all. How was he supposed to make a decision? They were asking too much of him!
Still, Jin Chen had no means of fighting back against the terrifying energy emanating from the fingertip that was pointed at his forehead.
In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, everything was determined by power. The stronger side could take the weaker lifeform's life if they wished.
Jin Chen had done that in the past.
Jin Chen's thoughts were still a mess, and he had yet to sort them out. But at this moment, he heard Spring counting down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJin Chen instinctively said, "Give me another three minutes to think about it!"
Spring scoffed coldly. "Since you asked, I will give you another three minutes. I hope you won't disappoint me after the three minutes. You have to think this through carefully!"
Jin Chen's words meant that he had accepted his subjugation and only needed some time to adjust his mental state.
Otherwise, he could have just rejected them and would not have asked for three minutes to think about it!
The moment Spring placed her hand on Jin Chen's forehead, Jin Chen's eight guards hurriedly retracted their auras. Even the Lord they were serving was unable to fight back, much less the eight of them!
Unlike Jin Chen, who had the option of making his own decision when being threatened, Jin Chen's eight guards knew they had no choice! Jin Chen's decision would be their decision, too!
At first, Lin Yuan had only intended to take in Jin Chen after he was done with all he needed to do in Treasure City. However, Spring's actions had caused such an unexpected development!
Three minutes passed quickly, and Jin Chen soon hung his head and said, "I can follow you, but just how many resources will you be giving me to increase my power?"
Now that his subjugation was certain, Jin Chen was cleverly trying to gauge his profits.
Lin Yuan did not respond.
Since Spring was the one who had brought Jin Chen to him, she should be the one to reply to him!
When Spring saw Lin Yuan gently knock twice on the table, she understood his meaning.
Spring would not make any promises to Jin Chen.
When Jin Chen eventually understood Lin Yuan's situation, he would definitely thank Spring from the bottom of his heart.
"We can talk about the resources later. Later, three of Fortune Treasure Palace's special honor guests will be arriving. Before they arrive, instruct the holy spirit in your divine kingdom to become loyal to the holy spirit in my Young Master's divine kingdom!"
Unlike in the main world, swearing on wills and laws was ineffective in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The best way to take control of Divine Kingdom experts in the Sky Beyond the Clouds was to use one's own fountain of faith to take control of the other expert's fountain of faith.
The best way to take control of Holy Spirit experts was to use one's own holy spirit to take control of the other expert's holy spirit and place a mark on the other expert's holy spirit.
This was what Lin Yuan had done to Kani as well.
Jin Chen's fate had been sealed. It made no difference whether he discussed his benefits and resources or not.
When Jin Chen entered the room, he could tell how young Lin Yuan was. He was definitely less than 100 years old. With an age like this, he was considered a newborn in any powerful species.
