Chapter 2876  Kani's Sense of Crisis!

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he understood what Spring meant.

Certainly, the people hiding behind these star pirates in this operation were most likely insignificant figures around experts from a faction or powerful species who had no need to make enemies and believed that making money quietly was the best policy.

Despite possessing considerable strength and attracting attention from others, Lin Yuan preferred to keep the information about his possession of treasures undisclosed.

"In that case, instruct Kani to capture the spies of these star pirates in groups. Then, we will personally interrogate them. In a while, follow me to report to Li Feng that Kani has permission to enter and exit at will."

Lin Yuan took out Chef Supreme's precious instrument, the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad.

In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, precious instruments were no longer uncommon. If Kani wanted to bring those star pirate spies to meet him, she would not be discovered by anyone.

Since Kani was entrusted with such a simple task, she would undoubtedly not disappoint him given her ability.

As the King Blood Jackal Queen, Kani was able to manage vast territories. Even if North of the Lonely River was isolated from the world, it would not restrict Kani's mobility and decision-making ability.

Spring realized immediately after speaking that she had misspoken. Her words sounded like she was teaching Lin Yuan how to do things, which was clearly overstepping her boundaries as his follower. However, Spring could sense that Lin Yuan did not merely regard her as his follower.

Lin Yuan had not chosen to recover the memories of his previous life. He was now a greenhorn youth. Lin Yuan's talent was reflected in the growth of his strength, but growth often came with a price.

Spring did not want Lin Yuan to pay the price, so she believed that the best way was to offer Lin Yuan some advice. However, Spring didn't insist on Lin Yuan heeding her words.

Coincidentally, Lin Yuan understood Spring's intentions and did not feel that she was giving him unsolicited advice.

Having followed Lin Yuan for a period of time, Spring had been influenced by Lin Yuan's personality.

Lin Yuan brought Spring to look for Li Feng and easily obtained the authority to allow Kani to enter and exit the City Lord Manor at will. Now that the entire Treasure City depended on Lin Yuan, Li Feng would not dare to disrespect Lin Yuan even if he disagreed deep down.

Moreover, it was not a big deal to let one of Lin Yuan's subordinates enter the City Lord Manor freely at this time. Lin Yuan's subordinates possessed extraordinary strength. Having such individuals enter the City Lord Manor would be beneficial.

If Zhan Lu had not promised to help him communicate with Lin Yuan, Li Feng would have seized this opportunity to invite him. However, in the end, Li Feng restrained himself. He did not know Lin Yuan well, so extending an invitation to Lin Yuan might come across as presumptuous.

Furthermore, Treasure City was currently in a precarious situation, and it was not appropriate for Li Feng to make promises to Lin Yuan through Treasure City.

If he went past Zhan Lu to communicate with Lin Yuan, it would be disrespectful to Zhan Lu. Li Feng did not want Zhan Lu to have such thoughts. After all, Lin Yuan was a special honor guest of Fortune Treasure Palace, and his relationship with Zhan Lu was much closer than with him. If Zhan Lu were to make things difficult for him and cause this matter to fall through, it would really be difficult for Treasure City to have a chance to rise up.

Lin Yuan could sense that Li Feng wanted to say something but hesitated. It just so happened that Spring had told Lin Yuan about Li Feng and Zhan Lu's conversation.

Lin Yuan was actually not very interested in becoming a guardian of Treasure City. Despite being able to obtain a lot of benefits from it, Lin Yuan was fully aware that he also had to take responsibility for Treasure City in times of crisis.

Lin Yuan genuinely acknowledged Treasure City's potential from the bottom of his heart. However, he had already gotten Kani to support the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. In the future, the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons would be equipped with pinnacle Divine Kingdom war weapons. Lin Yuan already had a foundation in Treasure City.

If the benefits promised by Li Feng were compelling enough, Lin Yuan wouldn't mind becoming a guardian. As for how to decide, he would wait until Li Feng contacted him first.

Li Feng had begun to use the resources in the city to recruit guardians. It seemed that he had become more aware following the disaster caused by the star pirates surrounding the city and had finally come to understand that the strength of a City Lord was of utmost importance. The strength didn't necessarily imply Li Feng's personal strength but rather emphasized the need for Li Feng to enhance the power he could command.

Lin Yuan's strength was only at the pinnacle of spirit fire, and he was still a hair's breadth away from the Divine Kingdom level. However, the power he possessed was sufficient and allowed him to do things that many Holy Spirit experts could not.

Naturally, it was also risky to control power that far exceeded one's own strength in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. However, unlike others, Lin Yuan did not need to bear this risk.

…

Ever since Kani returned to the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons, she had been wondering if she had been too concerned about them. Although Lin Yuan had made the same decision in the end, some of her actions had been carried out before Lin Yuan issued any orders. Kani was terrified that Lin Yuan would vent his anger on her.

That was especially after Kani learned that Lin Yuan had recruited another subordinate, who was a member of the Sky Radish Endless Vines, shortly after her departure.

The King Blood Jackals and the Sky Radish Endless Vines were both species with deep heritages. However, the latter was much stronger than the former. It was obvious that the bloodline and the strength of the Holy Spirit experts of the Sky Radish Endless Vines far surpassed hers.

Kani had followed Lin Yuan along with many aspirations. Currently, she was afraid that Jin Chen would take over her position and hinder her from realizing many of her ambitions.

What if Lin Yuan no longer chose to let her remain by his side and instructed her to return to North of the Lonely River to rule over the King Blood Jackals? That would be a huge loss for Kani!

If Lin Yuan had not quickly made arrangements for Kani, she would most likely have vented some of her anger on the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons.

In order to secure his position as the leader of the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons, Yu Run loved to report every major and minor matter to Kani, frequently asking Kani to assist them in resolving problems left behind by history.

Upon hearing Yu Run's request, Kani glared at him helplessly. "Now that you're the leader of your species, you should be the one arranging all their affairs. Are you suggesting that you want to pass the position of the leader to an outsider like me?

"You can handle such a small matter yourself. I have to accompany Master on his journey eastward in the future and won't be staying in Treasure City forever. Since Master has chosen to use you, he will definitely make appropriate arrangements for you after this and won't let you die in Treasure City!

"I have something important to attend to and will be away for a period. During my absence, govern your people well and ensure they do not wander around Treasure City. The city is not peaceful now. I'll be heading to the City Lord Manor. You will have no protection while I am away!"

Kani paused for a moment before adding, "Recently, many of your Purple Feather Rain Pigeons have obtained my protection and feel that existences like the Bloodwood Lion Bees can no longer oppress them. They are rather conspicuous in their actions.

"Based on my understanding of Master, he has never been fond of subordinates who seek high-profile attention. Even if you are not directly under Master's command, you are merely forces manipulated by him at his whim.

"I hope you'll refrain from doing unnecessary actions that might upset him. I've spent some effort for your Purple Feather Rain Pigeons, and I don't want my efforts to be in vain!"

With that, Kani's figure disappeared in front of Yu Run.

Kani was going to use the information Spring had provided to capture the targets that Lin Yuan had designated in groups and bring them to him. Any command from Lin Yuan was significant for Kani. She had to think of a way to make herself better than Jin Chen!

Yu Run was not a fool. He knew very well that Kani would not be staying with the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons forever. However, Kani was a true benefactor to Yu Run. Without Kani, even if Lin Yuan were to recruit the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons, Yu Run wouldn't be appointed as the leader.

Yu Run was immensely grateful to Kani, yet he did not have the ability to repay Kani now. If such a day were to come, Yu Run would be willing to use the entire strength of the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons to repay her.

Although Yu Run was grateful to Kani, he also treated Kani as a tool. He had been using Kani's power to help him establish his authority and eliminate the obstacles within the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons.

Despite knowing that there were many things Kani was unwilling to assist him with, Yu Run would still seek Kani's help.

It wasn't that Yu Run didn't know what was good for him, but he knew that the best way to get Lin Yuan's attention was to develop their chamber of commerce in Treasure City. He wanted to make the Purple Feather Chamber of Commerce prominent in the city as a testament to his capabilities.

As he wasn't particularly strong, many issues couldn't be resolved solely by the strength of the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. If these matters were not resolved, their development in Treasure City would also be restricted.

…

The spies sent into the city by the star pirates were not particularly strong. Those who possessed considerable strength stood out too much in Treasure City and would easily be noticed by the patrolling city guards. In addition, these people had already infiltrated the city a long time ago. Some even had stable interpersonal relationships in Treasure City.

Had Spring not investigated these spies, it would have been very difficult for them to be captured by the people of the City Lord Manor. This led the spies not to feel any sense of danger, only feeling anticipation for the imminent rewards they believed awaited them. When they were captured by Kani, a Holy Spirit expert, most of the spies were dumbfounded.

Kani brought the first group of people to Lin Yuan, and right on the heels of that, she set off to help Lin Yuan capture the second group.

With the spies in the city being collectively captured, the star pirates would soon receive the news.

Lin Yuan did not care about it as long as he could obtain the information he wanted.

Lin Yuan brought the spies from the star pirates into the Spirit Lock spatial zone. In his eyes, these spies were no different from the star pirates themselves. Lin Yuan had no intention of letting them come out alive after being brought into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

These spies were all part of the star pirates. They were known to have tight lips and a penchant for ruthless actions. However, Lin Yuan was not afraid of these tight-lipped fellows. The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's interrogation ability came in handy here.

These spies quickly realized the predicament they were in. However, they did not beg for mercy. Instead, they threatened Lin Yuan.

"You should be the City Lord of Treasure City, right?"

"Treasure City is about to fall!"

"When the time comes, you will all become captives. If you let us go now, I can let you live after we break through Treasure City!"

These spies' tone was fierce—they spoke with a solemn expression.

Lin Yuan curled his lips and watched the spies' performance with interest.

These spies held a very low status in the star pirate group. Otherwise, they would not have undertaken such a dangerous mission. How could these people, who had no status among the star pirates, have the ability to protect the lifeforms in the city?

Lin Yuan could not be bothered to waste his breath on these spies and said, "Take a moment to consider where you currently are. I didn't bring you here to listen to your threats but rather to gather information from you. Judging by your current attitude, I don't think you're willing to answer me obediently. In that case, it seems like there's something that I need to do!"

Lin Yuan raised his hand, and the spores of the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom surged toward the spies.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, the spies suddenly became aware of the dense spirit qi in the air. The spirit qi seemed to have a life of its own as it entered their bodies and was directly absorbed by them.

They found themselves in a paradise, and this young man was the owner of the paradise. From the concentration of spirit qi in the paradise, they were able to find out the background of this youth in front of them.

Apart from being ruthless in their actions, these spies also had keen insights, which often exceeded that of life forms of the same level in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

However, before these spies could fully comprehend the situation, they felt a burning sensation in their bodies. Under the immense pain caused by the burning sensation, these spies did not even have the ability to wail.

"There are so many of you here. Soon, I'll capture more spies. Among all of you, there are some who are tight-lipped, while others are loose-lipped.

"I'll get rid of all those who are tight-lipped, and I'll only leave five of those who are loose-lipped. Now, I'll give you a chance to explain the situation to me."
