Chapter 2896 Being At Odds and Wild Ambition! Genius quickly recorded the contents of all the books in the Hidden Book Pavilion. After analyzing the data and sorting out the contents of the book, it used Connected Tails to inform Lin Yuan of the relevant information.
Lin Yuan’s current understanding of these books was probably no better than that of the Andra clan. If the Andra clan did not have abilities similar to Genius’, it would be impossible for them to have such a detailed understanding of the contents of the Hidden Book Pavilion.
Lin Yuan had already developed a rough understanding of the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The Elisa clan, whose blood pool he was about to seize, held quite a high status in the Scarlet Territory. They were one of the 16 clans in the entire Scarlet Territory that possessed the bloodline of the queen.
The queen’s bloodline had only been severed within the past 400 years. The Elisa clan had worked diligently to prepare to continue the queen’s bloodline by opening the blood pool.
Lin Yuan felt that to seize the blood pool of the Elisa clan, it was necessary for him to create some chaos in the situation. Ideally, he hoped to instigate a scenario similar to that of Treasure City. However, Lin Yuan would not be able to make too many arrangements in just less than a week.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to assign the mission to Liu Chen and Liu Yao so that they could make their own plans.
Winter, who stood beside Lin Yuan, held a crystal jade in his hand, which emitted energy fluctuations. Winter said in a low voice, “Young Master, it seems that Fan Lou is enduring difficult times among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves for the sake of this plan.”
Lin Yuan pursed his lips. Even if the Dark Pufferfish and the Four Species Overlords had a bad relationship, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves wouldn’t likely cause too much trouble for Fan Lou. Feng Xuan should be the one who was having a hard time.
However, because of him, even if Feng Xuan did not die, his fate in the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves was bound to be very miserable. Feng Xuan must be very aggrieved now. He would most likely be at odds with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves because of this matter.
After Feng Xuan discovered that the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were no longer his protection and support but rather a limitation to his development, he would definitely try to make contact with him again and be willing to be his chess piece.
Lin Yuan had always observed Fan Lou’s performance. Since he had already decided to nurture Fan Lou, Lin Yuan would find an opportunity for Fan Lou to evolve.
Fan Lou still had a mission to complete at hand, so it was not suitable for Lin Yuan to provide Fan Lou with too many resources to help him enhance his bloodline and strength.
Fan Lou was clutching his left shoulder blade, which was completely shattered by the force of Feng Qing’s palm.
Feng Xuan appeared far more miserable than Fan Lou. He lay on the ground, vomiting blood profusely. Some broken fragments had obviously injured his internal organs. More than the physical pain, what truly hurt Feng Xuan was his heart.
Feng Xuan indeed had some schemes, but he truly considered himself one of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. When he sought benefits for himself, he had never intended to harm the benefits of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. He was clearly fighting for an opportunity for them, yet Feng Qing actually treated him in this manner.
Although Feng Xuan did not die from Feng Qing’s furious attack, he suffered damage to his roots, which was extremely difficult to recover from. Unless Feng Qing took out his precious resources and used them on himself, he would have to live with his crippled body. While losing his limbs might be bearable, the root injury made every breath agonizing for him.
However, given the way Feng Qing treated him, it was unlikely that Feng Qing would allocate precious resources to him. If Feng Qing were to heal his injured roots, wouldn’t that be equivalent to Feng Qing slapping his own face!?
Feng Xuan indeed felt that Feng Qing was more biased toward Fan Lou, but Feng Xuan had also been deceiving himself. He thought about how Feng Qing valued Fan Lou because the latter had indeed made contributions. In comparison to Fan Lou, he had indeed not achieved anything for Feng Qing recently.
By deceiving himself in this manner, Feng Xuan could still manage to maintain composure in front of Feng Qing. Currently, Feng Qing was in a state of uncontrollable rage, yet he had only injured Fan Lou’s left shoulder.
When Feng Qing attacked Fan Lou, he had clearly restrained his strength. Feng Xuan couldn’t deny this blatant favoritism no matter how much he tried to.
Feng Xuan forced himself to look up at Feng Qing in confusion. “Lord Feng Qing, what did I do wrong? Is it just because the Elders of the Andra clan told you that I’ve been trying to get in touch with Mr. Black at the banquet?”
Mr. Black came from a clan that has the bloodline of a queen. Even if he wasn’t stronger than the Andra clan, it was still a way out. Weren’t the Elders of the Andra clan dissatisfied with his actions because he was fighting for a relationship with Mr. Black alongside them?
He had been tirelessly working for the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, clearly contributing to their success. Fan Lou had also made contact with the species from the Lonely River. Why didn’t Feng Qing blame Fan Lou?!
With Feng Qing treating him so differently, there was no way he could stay in the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves any longer in the future.
Fan Lou looked at Feng Xuan, who was bleeding non-stop from the corner of his mouth, and felt a deep sense of pity for him. However, even though Feng Xuan was pitiful, he was really stupid. Even at this moment, he failed to comprehend why Feng Qing was so furious. Despite Feng Xuan’s reluctance to admit or understand it, he had indeed brought disaster upon the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
The excruciating pain of his shattered shoulder blade made Fan Lou afraid to take any action. Although Feng Qing didn’t kill him, he vented his anger on him. If Feng Qing had used a little more strength, his left lung would have been injured.
This attack completely shattered Fan Lou’s friendship with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Feng Qing’s current incompetence and anger could not change reality at all.
After his outburst, Feng Qing finally calmed down. The Andra clan was the backbone of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Before the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves developed and found a new pillar, it was impossible for them to leave the Andra clan, nor did they have the ability to.
The words Andre had said to him were exceptionally harsh. Andre represented the Andra clan, which meant that the Andra clan was already very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
If this continued, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would lose their stable living environment. Feng Xuan’s actions had caused the Andra clan to be dissatisfied, which was their biggest mistake. Nonetheless, Feng Xuan showed no remorse at all.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Feng Qing had some feelings for Feng Xuan and that Feng Xuan was related to the pureblood Bloodian named Black Elise, Feng Qing would have certainly not spared his life.
Fan Lou could not be bothered to continue engaging in conversation with Feng Xuan. He shot a look at the few guards next to Feng Qing and directly dragged Feng Xuan, who was vomiting blood on the ground, away.
Although Fan Lou had already cut off all ties with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, he would still continue acting in front of Feng Qing.
Fan Lou knelt on the ground and said sincerely, “Lord Feng Qing, please investigate! I never had the chance to talk to Feng Xuan at the banquet at all. Feng Xuan has always seemed to harbor some resentment toward me. I’m also afraid that some of my actions might provoke Feng Xuan to do something even more extreme.”
Fan Lou’s words did not provide much defense for himself; he simply stated the truth about what happened at the time. If he had spoken such words when Feng Qing was in his state of rage, it would be no different from adding fuel to the fire. However, Feng Qing had already passed the most emotional moment. Feng Qing would be more receptive to what he said.
Even if Feng Qing took his anger out on him, Feng Qing would still have to rely on him to contact the four major species of the Lonely River. This was the trump card that Lin Yuan had given him, and Fan Lou would make good use of it.
Feng Qing had indeed realized that he had treated Fan Lou inappropriately just now. There was no reason for him to vent his anger on Fan Lou. As Feng Xuan increasingly distanced himself from Feng Qing, Feng Qing started to rely on Fan Lou more and more.
Facing Feng Qing’s support, Fan Lou put on an expression that indicated he was touched and fearful at the same time.
Nonetheless, Fan Lou did not continue putting on much of an act and waited for Feng Qing’s next move. Fan Lou knew that Feng Qing was preparing to appease him. He wanted to take this opportunity to gain more benefits from Feng Qing.
“You’re not at fault in this matter. I’ve wronged you. The injury on your shoulder didn’t hurt your roots. I’ll arrange for the Creator to personally treat you. There won’t be any hidden dangers.
“The wolf guards that Feng Xuan used to manage will be handed over to you to lead from now on! I know that Feng Xuan has always been defiant and caused you trouble. After that pureblood Bloodian from the Elise clan leaves, I’ll hand Feng Xuan over to you to deal with! Do you think my arrangement is to your liking?”
At this moment, Fan Lou could feel Feng Qing’s high regard for him and his ruthlessness. No matter what, Feng Xuan had been by Feng Qing’s side for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, even if Feng Xuan did not contribute, he certainly had worked hard. It was true that Feng Xuan had done something wrong, but he hadn’t caused any harm to the interests of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had only received a warning from the Andra clan. If Fan Lou were to look at Feng Xuan from an omniscient point of view, he would only think that Feng Xuan was impetuous and would not think that there was anything wrong with him.
Reckless people indeed needed to be punished. It was understandable that Feng Qing removed Feng Xuan’s identity as the manager of the wolf guards. However, Feng Qing actually wanted him to deal with Feng Xuan. In essence, this was a tacit agreement that he could do whatever he wanted to Feng Xuan.
Even if Feng Xuan’s roots were injured now, he probably wouldn’t want to end up like this.
“Lord Feng Qing, Feng Xuan has been following you for such a long time. Even if Feng Xuan keeps targeting me, I won’t do anything to him. It’s uncertain what impact this matter will have in the end. I’ll just leave it to you to make the judgment regarding Feng Xuan.
“If Feng Xuan’s recklessness leads to a positive outcome and he really establishes a relationship with the clan with the queen’s bloodline, Feng Xuan can still be of value to you, Lord!”
At first, Fan Lou felt some pity for Feng Xuan. However, with Fan Lou’s current mentality, he no longer derived any pleasure from him. Not to mention Feng Xuan, even Feng Qing seemed insignificant after he followed Lin Yuan!
Furthermore, before Fan Lou left Feng Qing, he had to maintain his image in front of Feng Qing. He could not let Feng Qing perceive him as becoming arrogant after receiving recognition. If Feng Qing had such thoughts, Feng Qing would have reservations about him, and this would have been inconvenient for him to work for Lin Yuan by Feng Qing’s side.
Feng Qing was quite satisfied with Fan Lou’s performance. If Fan Lou and Feng Xuan’s positions were reversed today, Feng Xuan would definitely want to eliminate Fan Lou. The latter didn’t become disrespectful because of the favor he received, and this was a huge plus in Feng Qing’s heart.
Feng Qing was indeed relying on Fan Lou, but he did have any necessity to put Fan Lou in an important position. In Feng Qing’s heart, Fan Lou would always remain a servant. Even without Fan Lou, Feng Qing would choose to let anyone who could bring him luck stay by his side.
“In that case, look for Master Feng Xu first. I’ll inform him to let him heal you. After meeting Master Feng Xu, go and take over the wolf guards. Then, take 15 drops of Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ second-grade blood essence from the warehouse managed by the wolf guards. This second-grade blood essence can help your bloodline evolve further!”
Fan Lou thanked him profusely, but he was very disdainful in his heart. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ blood essence, which he had previously regarded as a treasure, was no longer important in Fan Lou’s eyes.
Fan Lou would most likely obtain the Bloodian bloodline next. Absorbing the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ blood essence would only increase the difficulty of transitioning to pureblood Bloodians.
However, 15 drops of Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ second-grade blood essence were also useful to Fan Lou. If the blood essence were sold, it could be sold for a good price. Fan Lou would definitely not sell the blood essence of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves now. He would wait until he had separated himself from them before dealing with the blood essence.
After Fan Lou left, Feng Qing remained silent for a while. In the end, he decided to meet the Elders of the Andra clan and try to resolve the misunderstanding with them. However, they would have to pay the Andra clan a large amount of resources.
Over the years, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had intentionally cultivated a few dependent species like the Light Wind Wolves. Nurturing dependent species caused them to spend a large amount of resources, making it challenging for them to sustain themselves. It was truly difficult to survive under the hands of the Bloodians.
Greed was ingrained in his bones, but he was left with no choice.
If the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves could establish a good relationship with the Lonely River’s Four Species Overlords, they would not be as inferior as before when the Bloodians needed the help of the Dark Pufferfish to deal with the mermaids.
... Lin Yuan had already walked out of the Andra clan’s Hidden Book Pavilion. Apart from recording the Scarlet Territory’s situation for the past 10,000 years, the Bloodians also had a large number of knowledge-related books in the Hidden Book Pavilion, leaving Lin Yuan with substantial gains.
When Lin Yuan returned to Sky City, this knowledge would be passed on to the core members of Sky City at the same time, allowing them to evolve.
Next, it was time for Lin Yuan to make a deal with the Andra clan!
