Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2788  Expedition to the North Universe!

Soul Spirit Extraction targeted the souls of the living and could be regarded as a deadly move.

To others, using this deadly move might come at a high cost.

In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, bloodline was very precious, and it was exceedingly difficult to evolve the bloodline.

It was basically impossible for experts to be able to sacrifice bloodlines that were of the same type as their own.

If there was a faction or person in the Sky Beyond the Clouds that could make that sacrifice, they would also have other means to kill their targets.

But to Lin Yuan, bloodline was not something that was difficult to get his hands on. Regardless of how elite the bloodline was, he would be able to nurture it through his Body of All Spirits.

When he faced powerful enemies, the bloodlines he had nurtured for the longest could be used to take control of his opponent's souls.

This not only allowed him to defeat his enemies but also placed immense pressure on them. Once their lives were in his hands, Lin Yuan believed that even the strongest holy spirit would be willing to trade secrets and information for its own life.

Soul Spirit Extraction could be linked with Restricted Soul Sensing and Soul Level Blessing.

Restricted Soul Sensing could dissect the living or dead soul that had been imprisoned before using it to locate a holy spirit with the same bloodline.

With just Restricted Soul Sensing, Lin Yuan would be able to locate an entire species. This would prevent any member of a species that Lin Yuan was trying to capture or eliminate from slipping out of his grasp.

If a species from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, like the one Kong Huan belonged to, found out about this ability, they would definitely begin to quake in terror.

This ability could strike fear into species with small numbers.

Once Kong Huan found out about this ability, she would know that if she ever made an enemy out of Lin Yuan, he would be able to capture any Alluring Fox and imprison their souls using Rememberling.

Under Rememberling's control, Lin Yuan could find all the Alluring Foxes. If he wanted to wipe out the Alluring Foxes, none of them would be able to escape, and the species would be rendered extinct!

Soul Spirit Extraction allowed Rememberling to target experts while Soul Level Blessing allowed it to create experts.

Once Rememberling imprisoned the soul of an expert, it would be able to use the expert's soul to bless other members of its species. The other members of its species would be able to utilize this expert's soul to increase their strength. Their souls would also be strengthened.

When Lin Yuan took control of a species, he could use this method to eliminate the uncooperative and disobedient experts before using their souls to nurture the members of the species he had chosen. This would allow him to quickly gain full control over the species.

…

While Lin Yuan was nurturing Rememberling, Fan Lou and Kong Huan were both experiencing a multitude of events in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Fan Lou was now the apple of Feng Qing's eye.

At first, Fan Lou's status had been below that of Feng Xuan. But now, he was on equal footing with Feng Xuan. In fact, it could be said that he had a slight edge over Feng Xuan!

Fan Lou did not give himself this status. It was determined by the way he was viewed by the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

But the way that the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves viewed Fan Lou was also closely tied to Feng Qing's attitude toward him.

Feng Qing saw Fan Lou as his lucky charm. Feng Qing did not distribute the Class 2 world's resources brought back by Fan Lou to the rest of the species. Instead, he used them to continuously increase his own power. Through this, Feng Qing's bloodline had improved considerably.

Once Feng Qing began viewing Fan Lou as his lucky charm, his attitude toward Fan Lou improved. This made Feng Xuan seethe with envy.

Yet, there was nothing that Feng Xuan could do about it.

Unless Fan Lou committed a serious error and angered Feng Qing, he would be stuck under Fan Lou for the foreseeable future!

Feng Xuan had made attempts to change the circumstances.

When he was alone with Feng Qing, he threw in some comments to undermine Fan Lou.

However, not only did Feng Qing not believe him, but even sternly warned him not to discriminate against Fan Lou. As a result, Feng Qing did not dare to continue targeting Fan Lou.

He was only able to climb to his current position because of Feng Qing's cultivation and rewards. If Feng Qing chose to abandon him, he would lose all of his power and have to return to the ranks of the rest of the species.

It was unlikely that he would have a good time among the other members of the species.

The members of the species were used to currying favor with the strong while scorning the weak. When he was favored by Feng Qing, many of them flocked to him. These same people would return to trample over him once he lost his power.

Feng Xuan could only watch as Fan Lou strove for more success.

Despite only having a small amount of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf bloodline, he was a rising star among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves because of the rewards he received from Feng Qing. Many of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were falling over themselves to earn his favor.

Fan Lou did not become blinded by arrogance because of the rewards he received from Feng Qing.

He was polite to those who tried to curry favor with him and would help them as much as he could.

Fan Lou was well aware he was not working for Feng Qing but for the Lord in the Class 2 world.

After witnessing Spring and Winter's strength, not even Feng Qing could impress Fan Lou anymore.

Fan Lou was doing what he was doing now in order to improve his standard of living and hide his true motives.

This was also so he could do an even better job as the captain of the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team.

In the past, in order to secure the protection of the team's members, Fan Lou had distributed a significant portion of power to the team members.

But now, he took back all the authority and began controlling the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team with an iron fist.

The territory where Lin Yuan's Class 2 world existed was solely watched and managed by Fan Lou.

Fan Lou could sense that there were lifeforms in Lin Yuan's world that were being evolved to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. This caused him to be even more awed by Lin Yuan's strength.

It was extremely difficult to evolve a Class 2 world's native lifeforms to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom.

Yet, Lin Yuan was capable of doing so. This substantiated Fan Lou's certainty that Lin Yuan possessed an abundance of powerful resources.

With Fan Lou's success, his residence was expanded to more than ten times its original size and was moved to an area with even more resources.

In the past, the most precious resource that Fan Lou could get his hands on was a weak spirit ore mine. But now, he would not even look twice at a weak spirit ore mine.

The rewards that Feng Qing gave Fan Lou allowed him to have a far better life than most of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

…

Compared to Fan Lou, Kong Huan's experience was much more of a roller coaster ride.

By now, Kong Huan had led the Alluring Foxes in their departure to the North Universe.

Before she left for the North Universe, Kong Huan attempted to assassinate Fan Lou once again in order to cement the relationship they were trying to project.

It seemed as though she was helping Fan Lou, but this was also her way of showing her loyalty to Lin Yuan.

Once she was done with her assassination attempt, Kong Huan organized all of the Alluring Foxes' resources and sold the assets they would not be able to take with them.

By using her evolved bloodline, Kong Huan mesmerized the many Light Wind Wolves and robbed their treasure vault. She did this so that she could obtain even more resources and would not have to worry about a lack of resources during their development in the North Universe.

But to the rest of the world, Kong Huan's actions would be seen as her revenge on the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves who protected the Light Wind Wolves.

Many members of Honor Absent Palace were shocked by Kong Huan and the Alluring Foxes' departure to the North Universe.

It had already been an anomaly for Kong Huan to obtain a seat on the Honor Absent Parliament as an Alluring Fox.

Given the power of the Alluring Foxes, they would never be able to achieve such treatment in the North Universe, whose living conditions were far harsher than those of the East Universe.

It was likely that the Alluring Foxes were going to the North Universe because they had been invited by the Snow-Covered Foxes.

The Snow-Covered Foxes had been making contact with various fox species across the four universes and inviting them to become their dependent species. Many fox species had accepted the offer because of the Snow-Covered Foxes' power.

If the Snow-Covered Foxes had only invited a few fox species to become their dependent species, they would be able to protect all of them. However, they had invited more than a thousand species.

Not only would these species have to earn the favor of the Snow-Covered Foxes, but they would also have to compete endlessly amongst themselves.

The Alluring Foxes' decision was too abrupt and illogical.

It caused some to think that they were fleeing far away to escape the threat of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

Apart from the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, the Bloodians were also putting pressure on the Alluring Foxes.

Once the Bloodians placed a target on the Alluring Foxes' back, there was a high probability that they would attack them.

The Bloodians eliminated tens of species from the East Universe every century.

The species that lacked power all did their best to get on the Bloodians' good side. They did not dare to engage the Bloodians in any conflict for fear of becoming a target.

The Alluring Foxes were already targeted by the Bloodians, and they lacked the power to take the Bloodians on. Hence, leaving the East Universe was an option they had to consider taking.

Once Kong Huan decided to lead the Alluring Foxes in following the Snow-Covered Fox envoy to the North Universe and become the Snow-Covered Foxes' dependent species, she stopped bothering about what she was leaving behind.

When she left, Kong Huan did not feel a shred of sadness. Rather, she saw the North Universe as a place where the Alluring Foxes would be able to prosper.

The Alluring Foxes were not battling alone now. They had a powerful source of support!

Kong Huan's bloodline had evolved from pinnacle Alluring Bones to beginner Alluring Soul.

She could clearly sense the benefits of her evolved bloodline.

Before her bloodline evolved, she would never have had the courage to go to the Light Wind Wolves' treasure vault on her own to rob it, nor would she have been able to mesmerize the Light Wind Wolf experts to ensure she was successful.

Kong Huan's branch had always been the dominant one amongst the Alluring Foxes.

But recently, a few of the young Alluring Foxes from other branches had discovered their talent and became rebellious.

It was only after the other Alluring Foxes found out that Kong Huan's bloodline had reached the Alluring Soul grade they no longer dared to act disrespectfully toward her.

With just her bloodline, Kong Huan managed to quell all defiant thoughts from the other bloodlines.

The bloodline was above all to the Alluring Foxes. Kong Huan did not have to worry that the other branches were only pretending to submit to her.

The Alluring Foxes had always passed down a rule left behind by their ancestors. Only the Alluring Fox with the strongest bloodline could lead the species.

If another Alluring Fox managed to attain a stronger bloodline, Kong Huan would be willing to submit to them as well.

…

Kong Huan did not know much about the Snow-Covered Foxes. Hence, on this trip, she never stopped asking the Snow-Covered Fox envoy questions in the hopes of learning more information that would help the Alluring Foxes settle into the North Universe.

The Snow-Covered Fox envoy had guided many fox species from the East Universe to the North Universe.

Usually, he would not give away too much about the circumstances in the North Universe.

It was true that most of the fox species who went to the North Universe would not have to worry about their safety because they had the Snow-Covered Foxes' protection.

However, these fox species would not receive many opportunities because such opportunities mostly went to the Snow-Covered Foxes.

The dependent species' living conditions were fully dependent on the Snow-Covered Foxes' moods and whims.

If any of the Snow-Covered Fox elites were attracted to any member of a dependent species and were willing to take them in as a concubine, the concubine's species would immediately receive an inflation in status.

Most of the Snow-Covered Foxes' dependent species' status was related to their power.

But once a member caught the eye of a Snow-Covered Fox elite, their species would receive better treatment than the others, regardless of how weak the species was.

If a dependent species saw itself as powerful and affected other dependent species under the Snow-Covered Foxes' protection, they would be eliminated by the Snow-Covered Foxes!

It went without saying that it was not appropriate to tell the fox species who were headed to the North Universe to become the Snow-Covered Foxes' dependent species about all this.

Kong Huan had been muffling her bloodline.

She only revealed a small portion of it now in front of the Snow-Covered Fox envoy to seduce him.

The Alluring Fox bloodline had strong seduction effects on fox species. Once they were mesmerized, the targets would not be able to sense the effects. They would only know they now felt attracted to the Alluring Foxes.

This Snow-Covered Fox envoy had met with Kong Mu. He had acknowledged she was very pretty but had not felt any special feelings toward her.

Yet, now in his interaction with Kong Huan, he felt the pricks of love. Instinctively, he wanted to make Kong Huan happy.

It was clear that this Alluring Fox was not being overly friendly with him and was also asking about the North Universe.

However, this Snow-Covered Fox envoy felt overwhelmed by his attraction and found it difficult to restrain himself!

During the journey, the Snow-Covered Fox envoy never stopped trying to gain Kong Huan's favor and frequently expressed his love for her. He even claimed to want to marry her once they joined the Snow-Covered Foxes.

The Snow-Covered Fox envoy admitted he was not a member of the elite, but his status was not low either. As long as he made sufficient contributions, he would be able to become an elite in the future!

While the Snow-Covered Fox envoy candidly expressed his love for Kong Huan, he completely missed the derision in her eyes.
