Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 3118: The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley’s Request for Help!

Ling Muzhuo had spent the last several days gathering intelligence, and the more he learned, the deeper his concern grew.

He had already verified Lin Yuan’s claims. The sheer number of personnel being mobilized by so many factions suggested that the motivation went far beyond merely seizing a top grade blessed land.

South Face City had been transformed into an impenetrable fortress. Upon their arrival, these overlord-level factions seized total control, enforcing a strict policy where entry was permitted but departure was forbidden. Any group attempting to flee the city was dealt with ruthlessly. In comparison, the rivalry within the Species Ranking seemed trivial next to the tension brewing in South Face City.

Despite Ling Muzhuo’s repeated attempts to reach Lin Yuan over the past few days, Autumn consistently informed him that Lin Yuan was too occupied to receive visitors. This lack of communication only intensified Ling Muzhuo’s anxiety.

While he wished to align himself with Lin Yuan, he was hesitant to place the Fortune Treasure Palace in such extreme peril.

Upon finally meeting Lin Yuan, Ling Muzhuo intended to lay out the harsh reality of the situation before offering his counsel.

He believed that if they abandoned their claim to the top grade blessed land and its hidden treasures, the other factions might leave Lin Yuan and the Fortune Treasure Palace in peace.

Furthermore, rumors had reached Ling Muzhuo that the Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain were preparing an offensive against the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.

However, the moment he saw Lin Yuan, a strange sense of calm washed over Ling Muzhuo.

“Brother Lin, chaos has erupted in South Face City. Every side is…”

Lin Yuan cut him off before he could finish. “I am well aware of the state of South Face City. My plans haven't changed; I still intend to enter the fray for this top grade blessed land. Not only that, but I will fight for every other opportunity until the very end.

“Brother Ling, I understand that such a conflict carries immense risk. If you choose not to get involved, I will not hold it against you. I will always value the friendship you showed me by helping me before.”

With a faint smile, Lin Yuan produced a brocade box and offered it to Ling Muzhuo.

When Ling Muzhuo opened the box, he found six spirit qi crystals that shimmered with a translucent brilliance. His eyes widened instantly. Upon sensing them, he could feel an incredibly refined level of spirit qi radiating from the crystals.

The purity of this spirit qi far exceeded anything produced by a Grade 5 Creator.

Though he had never personally handled Grade 6 Creator resources, Ling Muzhuo was certain that these crystals were the real deal.

The fact that Lin Yuan would gift him such precious Grade 6 Creator resources spoke volumes about the depth of their bond.

Observing the unwavering resolve in Lin Yuan’s eyes, Ling Muzhuo—who typically avoided danger—clenched his teeth and declared, “Brother Lin, I usually avoid risks at all costs. However, this time, I am choosing to stand by you regardless of the consequences. As I stated before, I will face whatever comes our way right by your side.”

Beyond his personal loyalty to Lin Yuan, the appearance of these Grade 6 Creator resources played a significant role in his decision.

The existence of such items confirmed that Lin Yuan was indeed supported by a genuine Grade 6 Creator.

While the Sky Beyond the Clouds was officially governed by four major factions, the true power was held by the Grade 6 Creators. If a Grade 6 Creator’s desires clashed with a decree from the Honor Absent Palace, it was usually the Palace that backed down and altered its plans.

Ling Muzhuo understood the weight that Grade 6 Creator resources carried.

With access to such wealth, increasing one's Cultivation and strength would become a simple task.

Ultimately, Ling Muzhuo decided to stake everything on Lin Yuan, no matter how dire the circumstances became.

After a brief silence, Lin Yuan spoke. “Brother Ling, I must be honest. I cannot guarantee that this operation will be without flaws. If you lead the Fortune Treasure Palace to assist me in seizing this top grade blessed land, the danger will be significant.

“The Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain are forming an alliance to strike the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. I plan to intervene on behalf of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. I cannot allow the Abyssal Beast Domain and Faerie Institution to dominate through their union. I expect other factions will also be drawn in. Most likely, the power struggles between the various groups in South Face City will be settled before the top grade blessed land even opens.”

Ling Muzhuo wasn't surprised that Lin Yuan intended to involve himself in the clash between the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley and the combined forces of the Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain.

If Lin Yuan wanted the blessed land and its treasures, a confrontation with the other factions was inevitable. Striking now was the most logical move.

Had Lin Yuan remained passive while the Faerie Institution and Abyssal Beast Domain targeted the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, they would have eventually turned their sights on him anyway.

By taking the initiative, Lin Yuan maintained his momentum and could use the pretext of aiding the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley to secure his own interests.

Currently, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley camp was in a state of total disarray. The three Grand Elders were blindsided by the realization that they had become targets for the Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain immediately upon their arrival.

While the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley and the Abyssal Beast Domain had been bitter rivals for eons, there had never been any indication of a secret alliance between the Abyssal Beast Domain and the Faerie Institution.

The Faerie Institution was known for its arrogance, but it rarely embroiled itself in the wars of other major Sects.

This unprecedented situation left the Grand Elders paralyzed with indecision.

Had it been a standard conflict between major factions, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley wouldn't be so vulnerable.

The problem was their lack of preparation. The three Grand Elders present were simply not enough to repel the current threat.

It was clear that the alliance between the Abyssal Beast Domain and the Faerie Institution intended to wipe the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley out entirely.

From the Grand Elders down to the rank-and-file experts, no one in the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley wished to meet their end in this place.

Sensing that the panic had reached a breaking point, Long Jie realized it was time to intervene.

Holding significant status as an Elder, Long Jie approached the three Grand Elders and spoke plainly. “Given the circumstances, the Abyssal Beast Domain and the Faerie Institution have no intention of showing us mercy. I previously met a Young Master who is connected to a pinnacle Grade 5 Creator and may even possess Grade 6 Creator resources. He is currently in South Face City. I could attempt to solicit his aid.”

The three Grand Elders were visibly stirred by Long Jie’s words.

Regardless of their draconic pride, they preferred survival over a pointless death.

The lead Grand Elder urged him, “If that is true, Long Jie, why haven't you reached out to them yet? We cannot withstand the combined might of the Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain without allies. You may tell them the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley will provide a massive reward for their help.”

Long Jie remained still, replying, “Lord Long Yin, the Young Master I spoke of is here for the opportunities himself. He likely has no interest in the resources we might offer. After all, he treats Creator resources as if they were common trash.

“You know of whom I speak. It is the Young Master Lin who has caused such a stir in South Face City. I have already spoken with him. His condition is that the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley must withdraw from the competition for the blessed land and instead help him secure those resources. In exchange, he will protect us.

“I kept this quiet because I thought Young Master Lin’s terms were outrageous. But since this is now a matter of life and death, I felt I must bring it to your attention. The final decision rests with you, my Lords.”

Long Jie had to consider his future within the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. He didn't want to be branded a traitor, so he stepped back and left the choice to the Grand Elders. He was prepared to accept whatever they decided.

If they refused Lin Yuan’s help, he would fight alongside the Sect until the end.

Secretly, however, Long Jie would have reached out to Lin Yuan to ensure his own personal safety during the climax of the battle.

The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley was notoriously strict about Elders forming outside alliances, and Long Jie was careful to protect his reputation and rank.

Upon hearing the proposal, one of the more hot-blooded Grand Elders struck the table in a rage.

“Absurd! He expects the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley to serve him and forfeit the top grade blessed land? The arrogance! I refuse. This blessed land is vital to our future. We cannot simply walk away from it!”

Long Jie inwardly scoffed at the Grand Elder’s outburst. It was clear the man failed to grasp the severity of their plight. The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley was currently at the mercy of its enemies; they were in no position to be making demands or acting superior.

The ultimate authority lay with Long Yin, the Grand Elder Long Jie had been addressing directly. Only his word carried the necessary weight.

Long Jie watched Long Yin, waiting for a response.

Long Yin was a sharp man. He suspected that the relationship between Long Jie and this Young Master Lin was deeper than a mere acquaintance. Long Jie wouldn't have suggested him as their only hope otherwise.

It was evident that Long Jie had total confidence in Young Master Lin’s ability to resolve the crisis.

Long Yin wondered why the usually suspicious Long Jie trusted this outsider so implicitly.

Long Yin himself was loath to agree. The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley hadn't dispatched three Grand Elders just for some minor ruins.

They had their own intelligence. They were here specifically for the top grade blessed land.

Without securing such a location, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley would continue to decline while rival overlord factions grew stronger. The Sect had been fading for years, becoming the subject of ridicule among other powers.

Even the Grand Elders didn't dare question the actions of the Lord Ancestral Dragon.

However, the Ancestral Dragon’s standing within the Sect was suffering.

This was particularly true for the noble dragon bloodlines. Since the Lord Ancestral Dragon began absorbing the dragon veins, no new offspring had been born to these lineages for tens of millennia.

Without a new top grade blessed land, several dragon species within the valley faced total extinction.

Yet, after weighing the options, Long Yin knew they were doomed without external help.

He also saw an opportunity to evaluate this Young Master Lin for himself.

If the youth truly possessed such vast Creator resources and was willing to trade, losing the blessed land might be a sacrifice worth making.

Still, Long Yin remained skeptical. In his experience, trading Grade 4 resources was one thing, but only a fool would part with Grade 5 Creator resources.

“Long Jie, contact Young Master Lin. If your connection saves us, I will see to it that you are rewarded and nominated as a new Grand Elder!”

Long Yin patted Long Jie’s shoulder, offering his encouragement.

Long Jie was elated. Reaching the rank of Grand Elder had been his lifelong ambition, and now it was within his grasp.

Ascending to such a position was normally an uphill battle.

But with Long Yin’s backing, it was practically guaranteed.

Long Jie immediately set out to contact Lin Yuan.

The third Grand Elder, who had remained silent, turned to Long Yin with a frown. “Brother Yin, was that promise to Long Jie not a bit hasty? It is obvious he is in league with this Young Master Lin. We don't even know if he’s being controlled by the boy. How can we allow such a person into the circle of Grand Elders? It would undermine our entire authority.”

Long Yin replied with a weary sigh, “Do you have a better solution? If there were another way, we wouldn't need Long Jie’s contact. Our priority must be making it out of South Face City alive and returning to the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.

“Returning alive preserves the strength of our Sect. Without us to maintain order, and with our resources dwindling, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley would lose its standing in the Sky Beyond the Clouds entirely.

“Besides, if Young Master Lin truly possesses such wealth, having Long Jie as a Grand Elder might be our best chance to secure Grade 5 Creator resources through trade.”
