Chapter 3038 Vine Snakes! Qin Yu did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of her words was to tell Lin Yuan not to be in a hurry to take action. Although she had a Bloodian bloodline, she was not a native of the Scarlet Territory. If she intervened, it was very likely that something would happen.
.... Being targeted by other Bloodian Queens would naturally hinder Lin Yuan’s trip to the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. While Lin Yuan was powerful, it was not always the best choice to rely solely on force.
“Qin Yu, since that’s the case, I’ll leave everything before entering the Land of Bloodian Ancestors to you. If you encounter something you can’t resolve, just inform me.”
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Qin Yu was relieved and hurriedly replied, “Lord, the other Bloodian Queens should be looking for external help too. There shouldn’t be any trouble at this time because if the other Bloodian Queens cause trouble, they will also be affected.
“Don’t worry. I’ve become a Bloodian Queen, after all. I can take care of everything outside. Lord, please follow me to the Scarlet Corridor!”
As Qin Yu spoke, she took out five large robes with a dark red hue and many six-petal blood bamboo patterns on them. These robes could perfectly cover the body, including the facial features.
The six-petaled blood bamboo was the Elisa clan’s emblem. Wearing these four blood-red robes could hide Lin Yuan and the others, as well as prove Lin Yuan’s identity.
However, Qin Yu had no right to decide if she wanted to wear these robes. Lin Yuan would be the one making the decision.
Qin Yu was aware of her position in front of Lin Yuan. He was very polite to her, but the entire Elisa clan was nothing but an inconspicuous dependent species to him.
Autumn and Winter despised the robes that Qin Yu had brought over, especially since they had the emblem of the Elisa clan.
However, Lin Yuan did not care. His purpose for entering the Land of Bloodian Ancestors was to make a fortune. As a competitor of the other Bloodian clans, it was naturally better for him to keep a low profile under such circumstances.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was still training his younger sister, so it was even more difficult to cause a commotion as some Bloodian clans were aware of Lin Yuan’s appearance as Black Elise. For example, the Allen clan that Qin Yu had recruited and nurtured.
Lin Yuan distributed the four robes with six-petal blood bamboo embroidery and asked, “Qin Yu, you said that there are many powerful souls wandering in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. Is that true?”
Ever since Qin Yu had mentioned that there were numerous souls in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, Lin Yuan had been thinking about them.
Pure soul-type feys like the Praying Universe Soul Whale could feed on souls. If there were huge souls for it to absorb, Rememberling could directly absorb and digest them with Gather Soul Conversion. By converting these souls into faith power, it could increase his strength.
Lin Yuan had been training in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for some time, but he had not found a place where many souls gathered. In advanced worlds like the Sky Beyond the Clouds, there existed their own set of laws in which their souls would quickly dissipate after death. Therefore, there were very few places with large amounts of souls for Rememberling to absorb.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s question, Qin Yu hurriedly replied, “There are indeed numerous souls in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. These souls are divided into two types.
“One is the violent soul. These souls are the ancestors of the Bloodians who died tragically in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. These violent souls have already lost their minds over the long years. They will wantonly attack all lifeforms they encounter and are also extremely powerful. Hence, every time we encounter these violent souls in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, it will cause a lot of trouble.
“Fortunately, there are some ancestral items left behind in every Bloodian clan, which have the ability to drive away these violent souls.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered when he heard Qin Yu’s words, but he did not immediately interrupt. Instead, he waited for Qin Yu to introduce the second type of soul.
“Lord, the other soul is formed by numerous souls devouring each other. This type is more aggressive but possesses a certain level of intelligence. Before encountering such a soul, our method has always been to try to communicate with it and then trade with it by taking out some soul-type spiritual ingredients.
“These souls that have been wandering in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors for a long time have a high chance of knowing where the opportunities and treasures are. Of course, because these souls have intelligence, they are divided into good and evil. The path these souls lead might not be real.
“In a previous exploration of the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, the Bloodian Queen who suffered injuries to her roots did so because she followed the guidance of these souls. Therefore, if you really encounter such a soul, I don’t recommend you to trade with them, Lord.”
Upon hearing Qin Yu’s introduction, Lin Yuan was enlightened. Lin Yuan had no intention of trading with these souls, but he would be able to obtain the information he desired from them. It was because those violent souls or souls that had developed intelligence in the Bloodian territory were all food to Rememberling.
After Rememberling devoured those souls with a certain level of intelligence, it could use them to obtain useful information. Regardless of whether Lin Yuan could gain anything from this trip to the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, Rememberling would definitely gain a lot.
After finishing her introduction, Lin Yuan did not bring up the topic of souls again. Hence, Qin Yu did not initiate further conversation about it with him.
Qin Yu was the first Bloodian Queen to appear in the Scarlet Territory. Hence, the Elisa clan was currently emphasizing grandeur and display.
Qin Yu’s carriage was drawn by eight Holy Spirit Blood Scaled Dragons, rare blood-type dragon-species lifeforms. Qin Yu had exerted significant effort to obtain these Blood Scaled Dragons.
Before becoming the Bloodian Queen, Qin Yu had refrained from being too ostentatious. However, now she openly displayed her status with a carriage pulled by Blood Scaled Dragons. Her carriage was unique in the Scarlet Territory, and when it passed by, all the other Bloodians would bow and make way.
In the distance, a cold-looking, short-haired female Bloodian, riding in a carriage pulled by nine Blood Tigers, sneered at the sight of Qin Yu’s carriage. “Qin Yu has just become a Bloodian Queen and is already so arrogant. She’ll be taught a lesson sooner or later!”
Four other people sat in the carriage pulled by the nine Blood Tigers. Only two of them had obvious Bloodian characteristics. They sat quietly, not daring to speak, their eyes revealing fear not of the short-haired Bloodian, but of the two individuals outside the carriage.
A hoarse, sharp voice spoke from within the carriage. “Jiang Ying, you’re an experienced Bloodian Queen. There’s no need to argue with these newly crowned queens. Even if they are arrogant, they won’t dare disrespect you.
“Focus on building alliances with the other Bloodian Queens. Strive for cooperation between our Vine Snake species and the Bloodian clans to secure practical benefits for us. This way, our Vine Snakes can reward you more generously.
“Weren’t you recently complaining about the lack of resources from our Vine Snakes? It’s because you haven’t been putting in enough effort. Look, after you shared the news of the opening of the Land of Bloodian Ancestors with us, didn’t the king generously grant you those Blood Jade Snakeberries you’ve been asking for?”
The short-haired Bloodian Queen’s expression remained unchanged, but she felt disgusted and repulsed.
Recently, the Vine Snakes had become stingier with her. They had traded with her too many times and wanted to manipulate her. However, she couldn’t escape their control.
Firstly, the Blood Jade Snakeberries were extremely useful for improving her bloodline. Secondly, the Vine Snakes’ strength had increased rapidly in the past few hundred years, far surpassing that of the Bloodian clan she belonged to. Otherwise, with the Vine Snakes becoming increasingly greedy and controlling, she would have ended the cooperation long ago.
“Some Bloodian clans led by other queens have different factions backing them. I’ve invited you to enter the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, giving you a chance to engage with them directly. Each of these Bloodian clans will have their queens leading the way. This operation will reveal the depth of the other clans.
“I’ve done my part to bring you into the Land of Bloodian Ancestors. Don’t forget your promise to me. This time, I want not just Blood Jade Snakeberries but the entire Blood Jade Snakeberry plant.”
Upon hearing that, a man with long gray-green hair inside the carriage revealed a sinister smile. The more he looked at the Bloodian Queen in front of him, the more he found her interesting. She was truly a combination of beauty and greed. However, her greed was naive.
The Blood Jade Snakeberries required watering with venom produced by the Vine Snakes to mature. The berries themselves were not valuable—the true value lay in the Vine Snakes’ venom. Since this beautiful but foolish Bloodian Queen wanted it, he would just give her one.
“There’s no problem if you want the entire Blood Jade Snakeberry plant. When we reach the Scarlet Corridor, don’t forget to introduce us to the other Bloodian Queens.”
Jiang Ying frowned. “Gu Rong, don’t go overboard. You want to interact with the other Bloodian Queens in the Scarlet Corridor. Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble that might affect our entry into the Land of Bloodian Ancestors? When you enter and meet the other Bloodian Queens, I will introduce them to you then.”
Jiang Ying really hoped that the Vine Snakes could build a relationship with the other Bloodian Queens. That way, they wouldn’t keep looking for her. As the saying went, inviting a god was easy, but sending them away was difficult. At that moment, Jiang Ying felt exactly that way.
It was not that Jiang Ying was afraid of conflict with the Vine Snakes. The Linus clan resided in the Scarlet Territory. No matter how rapidly the Vine Snakes developed, their strength was not sufficient to invade the Scarlet Territory.
Most importantly, many transactions between Jiang Ying and the Vine Snakes were shady. Once they were exposed, it would have a huge impact on the entire Linus clan and would directly affect their reputation among the Bloodians. This was what Jiang Ying was afraid of!
Upon hearing that Jiang Ying was willing to introduce the other Bloodian Queens to him, the grayish-green-haired man named Gu Rong did not bring up the matter of interacting with the other Bloodian Queens in the Scarlet Corridor anymore.
Gu Ying did not want to anger Jiang Ying. He had also come with a mission this time. If he did not do this well and that Lord blamed the Vine Snakes, wouldn’t he become a scapegoat for the Vine Snakes?
... When they arrived at the Scarlet Corridor, Lin Yuan, Chu Ci, Autumn, and Winter followed behind Qin Yu, who wore robes embroidered with the Andra clan’s emblem.
Lin Yuan silently observed the situation in the Scarlet Territory. He realized that in this Scarlet Corridor, Bloodian clans with king bloodlines would group together. Typically, these small groups were led by a Bloodian clan with a queen bloodline.
However, Bloodian clans with Bloodian Queens generally existed in a state where one queen wouldn’t acknowledge the authority of another. Hence, they typically didn’t communicate with one another.
Qin Yu didn’t have the desire to interact with the other Bloodian clans, but some clans with king bloodlines would take the initiative to greet her.
Coincidentally, Lin Yuan recognized one of them, the leader of the Allen clan, Shi Mei.
Lin Yuan had interacted with Shi Mei before, and these interactions were almost as frequent as those with Qin Yu.
In Lin Yuan’s impression, Shi Mei was very smart. Since Shi Mei had approached Qin Yu on such an occasion, the Allen clan must have publicly submitted to the Elisa clan.
Being under the command of a Bloodian clan led by a Bloodian Queen was an excellent opportunity for the Allen clan, which only possessed a king bloodline.
Sun Yin used a brilliant disguise to change his appearance and followed beside Shi Mei. He did not wear the robe that represented the Allen clan. It wasn’t that Sun Yin was unwilling to wear it; rather, Shi Mei truly didn’t dare to give such clothes to Sun Yin, a Grade 5 Creator.
Shi Mei was very careful in front of Sun Yin and tried her best to win his favor.
If Sun Yin weren’t under Lin Yuan’s command, he wouldn’t even bother to interact with someone like Shi Mei. If a Grade 5 Creator wanted to make connections with experts and factions, those experts and factions would flock to them.
However, due to Shi Mei’s relationship with Qin Yu, and Qin Yu being Lin Yuan’s subordinate, Sun Yin restrained his temper in front of Shi Mei and was relatively polite to her.
Sun Yin noticed that not only Bloodian factions with Bloodian Queens were seeking outside help, but also many Bloodian factions with Bloodian Kings were doing the same.
