Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 3119 Ruins Appear!

As a seasoned and triumphant commander, Long Yin possessed the foresight necessary for his position. He understood that he couldn't focus solely on short-term gains.

In this regard, Long Yin’s strategic vision far surpassed his peers.

Long Yin mused to himself, Young Master Lin must not let me down.

If he failed, it wouldn't just mean the end of any hope for the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley; Young Master Lin himself would likely share the same tragic fate as the Valley.

...

Lin Yuan was currently in the company of Ling Muzhuo. Upon receiving the latest updates, he promptly instructed Winter to return to his station.

Turning toward the restless Autumn, Lin Yuan said, "Autumn, since your patience has run thin, go ahead and stir things up in South Face City!"

At Lin Yuan’s command, Autumn let out a piercing, resonant howl.

Although Autumn had not yet fully regained his former glory, he had undeniably reached his strongest state since the Saint’s reincarnation. He was desperate to prove his utility to Lin Yuan.

Winter moved back to Lin Yuan’s side with a faint smile. "Young Master, Autumn has been suppressed for quite some time. It is only right to grant him this stage to display his power.

"Among the three of us, Autumn’s techniques are best suited for raw slaughter. He has recovered seventy percent of his strength. Unless the beast god of the Abyssal Beast Domain manifests in person, or the faerie emperor of the Faerie Institution arrives, those factions cannot hope to halt Autumn’s path with a mere handful of beast archbishops or faerie kings.

"In fact, Young Master, the chaos in South Face City presents us with a perfect opening. While we might not control the entirety of these factions yet, we can dominate their representatives here and slowly consume them. Autumn is more than capable of handling this alone, even without the help of Spring or myself. And do not forget, both Spring and I have also regained our Cultivation.

"Young Master, you need only sit back and watch us perform! Spring and I have already coordinated. She and I will prioritize your protection. She remains stationed within the Abyssal Beast Domain and will only reveal herself if the situation demands her presence."

Having reclaimed his power, Winter spoke with a newfound level of assurance. The restoration of his strength had filled him with a long-absent exhilaration.

...

The onslaught launched by the Abyssal Beast Domain against the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley was lightning-fast, leaving the Valley with almost no room to breathe.

However, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley refused to go down quietly. They fought back with desperate ferocity, resulting in a cataclysmic clash between the two powers.

Initially, Long Yin had hoped to avoid this conflict. He had sent Long Jie to summon reinforcements, but when none arrived, he considered swallowing his pride. He was prepared to submit to the Abyssal Beast Domain if necessary.

After all, even with Young Master Lin’s intervention, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley lacked the status to claim such a high-tier blessed land for themselves.

If the Abyssal Beast Domain would allow him to retreat with his life, surrender seemed like a viable path.

Yet, the Abyssal Beast Domain offered no quarter. Every strike they landed was aimed to kill. This ruthlessness eventually pushed the three Grand Elders of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley past their breaking point, causing their retaliatory strikes to become terrifyingly violent.

The collateral damage in South Face City was immense, drawing many neutral parties into the fray.

As the powerhouses from both the Abyssal Beast Domain and the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley clashed, the resulting shockwaves claimed the lives of countless innocent beings.

Despite deploying four archbishops, the Abyssal Beast Domain struggled to crush the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley until the Faerie Institution intervened. Two higher faeries joined the battle, tipping the scales.

A faerie king, who had been lurking in the shadows, finally made his move. With a sudden, lethal strike, he dealt a devastating blow to one of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley’s Grand Elders.

Recognizing the assailant, Long Yin roared in fury, "Our Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley has never crossed the Faerie Institution! Do you not fear our retribution? If you withdraw now and cease interfering in our war with the Abyssal Beast Domain, I will overlook this transgression!"

His ultimatum fell on deaf ears. The faerie king responded with a sneer of pure mockery, "Had you said that a hundred million years ago, I might have felt a shred of fear. But look at yourselves now—how is the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley fit to stand on the same level as the Faerie Institution? You overestimate your worth.

"Today marks the end of your lineage. If you stop struggling, I might spare your life and keep you as a prisoner instead of killing you outright."

The sheer arrogance radiating from the faerie king was palpable to everyone watching.

Long Yin was nearly consumed by rage. There was no world in which he would allow a Grand Elder of his Sect to be hauled away as a captive!

Meanwhile, Long Jie was drowning in anxiety. He had already dispatched the plea for help to Lin Yuan, agreeing to every single one of the man's terms.

There was no reason for silence. Was it possible that Lin Yuan feared the combined might of the Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain?

Even if he chose not to save the Valley, surely he would act to protect his own interests.

Just as Long Jie prepared to send another message, a cold, overwhelmingly dominant aura surged toward the faerie king.

The faerie king immediately tried to parry the incoming pressure.

However, even at full power, he was unable to withstand the weight of the aura. He let out a pained, muffled groan.

A voice, dripping with disdain, thundered across the sky.

"My Young Master has taken the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley under his protection. The Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain should withdraw immediately. Fail to do so, and do not blame my Young Master for showing no mercy!"

Autumn’s aura didn't just target the faerie king; it slammed into the two higher faeries and the four archbishops of the Abyssal Beast Domain as well. Beyond these seven, anyone else caught in the radius of Autumn’s intent found it difficult to even draw breath.

The various factions present recognized Autumn instantly. He was the constant shadow and guard of Lin Yuan.

He had made appearances before the public on several occasions.

Those who had attended the trade fair remembered his presence. Back then, Autumn had used his aura to maintain order, but it seemed everyone had vastly underestimated the true extent of his power.

To think that a mere guard under Young Master Lin could suppress seven top-tier experts simultaneously, leaving them unable to even fight back! And one of those experts was a faerie king!

The sight of Autumn brought an immediate sense of relief to Long Jie’s heart.

Even so, he was stunned by the display. He hadn't expected Autumn to neutralize the entire opposition from both major factions the moment he arrived.

Struggling against the crushing pressure, the faerie king gasped out, "The Faerie Institution and the Abyssal Beast Domain are united in this campaign. Are you prepared to provoke a war with us?"

The faerie king tried to use the prestige of his faction to intimidate Autumn.

Autumn gave a cold, dismissive snort. "Whether your Institution chooses to misunderstand is your problem, not mine. It certainly doesn't concern my Young Master.

"The Faerie Institution has been arrogant for far too long. Do you truly believe yourselves to be invincible? Have you forgotten how you survived your early days? If not for that Lord’s mercy, your Institution would have been torn apart by other Sects the moment it was born. You wouldn't be standing here today.

"That Lord gave you a chance to exist, but I doubt he intended for you to become such bloodthirsty tyrants.

"Given your unique nature, the Faerie Institution should have stayed out of the fight for mortal resources. Continue down this path, and you will face the consequences. Never forget that your kind is a resource that every power in this world covets."

Autumn’s words sent shockwaves through the crowd. He was showing absolutely no respect to the Faerie Institution.

The faerie king’s face paled. He was aware of the history Autumn mentioned, a secret that was buried deep within the Institution’s records.

It was true that they owed their existence to a mysterious Lord who stood above the world, known only to his followers as the Saint.

Even high-ranking faeries were rarely privy to this knowledge. How did this guard know?

The faerie king was no fool. Feeling the terrifying depth of Autumn’s Qi, he realized their mission was a failure.

"Very well. Since your Young Master insists on protecting the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, and as we are currently outmatched, we will cease our hostilities here in South Face City.

"However, I trust your Young Master will stay out of our business elsewhere. The Faerie Institution is not an enemy you want!"

With those parting words, the faerie king turned to lead his people away.

"Who gave you permission to leave?" Autumn snapped. "You dare show such attitude toward my Young Master? My Young Master intends to claim this ruin and every other opportunity within South Face City.

"I am giving the Faerie Institution a single chance: submit now and serve my Young Master while we are in this city."

Autumn stared coldly at the faerie king, waiting for a reply.

The faerie king’s expression turned hideous. He had already agreed to retreat, yet this man wanted to treat the Faerie Institution like servants. It was an intolerable insult!

He opened his mouth to protest, but Autumn didn't give him the chance. He struck instantly.

After a brief, one-sided exchange, the faerie king was slammed into the ground, gravely wounded.

With the leader neutralized, Autumn turned his sharp gaze toward the remaining faeries, the archbishops, and the three Grand Elders of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.

He could feel that the top-grade blessed land was on the verge of opening. Before that happened, he intended to bring South Face City under total control for Lin Yuan.

Previously, his diminished strength had made him cautious.

But now, with seventy percent of his power returned and a steady supply of Grade 6 Creator resources from Lin Yuan, he wasn't just maintaining his strength—he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Autumn felt that there were very few powers left in this world that could truly threaten him.

In a single day, Autumn single-handedly restructured the power dynamics of South Face City. Every faction present lost the will to compete for the blessed land.

The arrogant faerie king could only grit his teeth in silence.

If there had been even a sliver of hope, he would have fought to the death. But the gap in their Cultivation was like the distance between heaven and earth. To resist was simply suicide.

And faeries, above all else, valued their own longevity.

...

Following Autumn’s display of dominance, an eerie silence settled over the once-chaotic South Face City.

Even factions that had come for secondary objectives or to settle old scores went into hiding. They lived in terror of accidentally offending Young Master Lin and meeting a swift end.

...

The top-grade blessed land finally opened. The gathered factions could do nothing but watch as Lin Yuan moved to claim it.

Using a top-grade Palm of Blessed Land crafted by a Grade 5 Creator, Lin Yuan was able to secure the entire area.

Once the exploration was complete, Lin Yuan stored the blessed land away, and it was at that moment that the actual ruins manifested.

As the ruins appeared, a powerful spatial ability sealed off the surrounding world.

This prompted the Abyssal Beast Domain, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, the Faerie Institution, and even the Great Sun Phoenixes to consider one last desperate grab.

Under the pressure of Autumn’s presence, these rival factions even considered a temporary alliance, a notion that Autumn found laughable.

On Lin Yuan’s orders, Spring—who had been hiding within the Abyssal Beast Domain’s ranks—revealed herself. She stepped forward to stand with Autumn, helping him maintain absolute control.

With two such powerhouses present, the factions were completely suppressed, their thoughts of rebellion thoroughly extinguished.

...

As Spring, Autumn, and Winter focused their senses on the ruins, they were struck by a wave of joyful surprise.

They detected the unmistakable aura of the Lord Saint within the structure. This ruin was either a remnant from the Lord Saint’s previous life or deeply connected to his past existence.
