Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2985  Hunting Net

"Dispute? Our star pirate group boasts over 1,000 members. While we may not match the elite status of your group, we are far from weak. My strength rivals Pang Li's. So what if there's a conflict between us? Do you think I fear your leader?

"Fu Mi, you're clever. You must understand why so many star pirates have gathered here. If Pang Li refuses to relinquish the Sacred Body Stone and share its benefits, it's not a matter of whether he wants conflict, but whether we'll allow him to leave!

"I admire your skills. Once your group disperses, I'll extend an invitation to join ours. But ensure you bring Pang Li here. These people haven't assembled for naught. If he doesn't show, you'll need to explain. You know firsthand the difficulty of appeasing them."

Meng Kuo's words trailed off as a sharp voice interjected from the side.

"Old Meng, you seem fond of Fu Mi, but have you even considered her feelings? Many star pirate groups seek her, and Pang Li will likely cunless Fu Mi's message holds a secret code."

The voice paused, then mocked, "Fu Mi, if your leader treats you like this, why stay? Continuing means you disregard your life!"

Fu Mi turned a deaf ear to these words and did not respond. She just stood there quietly. She had already disguised herself and completed what needed to be done. She really could not be bothered to answer to these people anymore.

Fu Mi understood the current situation through the conversation between the leaders of these star pirates. Although these star pirates were very disdainful of Pang Li, they had made sufficient preparations to besiege Pang Li and prevent him from escaping with the Sacred Body Stone. They had brought all their members along for this purpose.

She had completed the mission very well and was just waiting for Lin Yuan to cand reel in the net.

At this moment, Autumn's cold voice sounded in Fu Mi's ears, "How's the situation? Can we reel in thenow?"

With Autumn's strength, outsiders couldn't sense anything abnormal when he sent a voice transmission to Fu Mi. However, if Fu Mi sent a voice transmission to him, the outside world would be able to sense Fu Mi's soul fluctuations.

Fu Mi was not as strong as Autumn but understood the kind of person Autumn was and knew her thoughts well. She had experienced the power of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. While Autumn was formidable, they could stand toe-to-toe with him.

Autumn had always wanted to prove himself to Lin Yuan, but he had never had a suitable opportunity.

Autumn asked Fu Mi if she wanted to resolve everything before Lin Yuan arrived.

For a long tto come, Autumn would stay by Fu Mi's side. Hence, Fu Mi was willing to help Autumn create an opportunity to showcase himself before Lin Yuan. If Autumn could do so because of her, he would treat Fu Mi better than he did now.

Fu Mi said loudly, "Lord Autumn, everything is ready. You can take action at any time!"

Just as Fu Mi finished speaking, a desolate aura suddenly enveloped all the star pirates present. The star pirates could not even make a sound before they were pressed to the ground by this desolate aura.

Fu Mi witnessed Autumn's strength again and was still incredibly amazed.

As soon as Autumn appeared, he immediately took control of the situation. He knew that Lin Yuan only wanted Holy Spirit and Divine Kingdom star pirates and had no requirements for other star pirates. Therefore, he directly killed all the star pirates below the Divine Kingdom level and did not give them any chance of survival.

Among the star pirate groups Fu Mi had gathered, only two of them were like the star pirate groups that Fu Mi had been in previously and focused on developing elite star pirates. The majority of the other four star pirate groups hadn't reached the Divine Kingdom level.

Autumn directly eliminated 90% of those present, sending a chill through the hearts of all the star pirates without exception.

These star pirates had already realized that this gathering initiated by Fu Mi was an ambush and they were all Fu Mi's targets. It was ironic that previously they had placed themselves in the position of hunters.

Autumn hated the noise of the captives the most, so he did not give these star pirates a chance to speak.

Fu Mi walked forward and began to move the bodies of the star pirates who had been controlled. She divided these star pirates into six groups according to the groups they belonged to.

The Holy Spirit star pirates were at the front, while the Divine Kingdom star pirates were at the back. They were like butchers moving livestock in a slaughterhouse.

After moving the bodies, Fu Mi was about to clean the floor when she saw Lin Yuan walking in with Winter and the other three figures.

Fu Mi had seen two of these three figures before. One of them was Huang An, and the other was Xi Mei. Without exception, they were all genuine Grade 4 Creators.

Fu Mi understood very well what it meant for these two Grade 4 Creators to follow Lin Yuan respectfully. The two Creators had joined Lin Yuan. However, Fu Mi was not surprised.

Having witnessed the strength of Lin Yuan's subordinates, Fu Mi held an attitude of admiration toward him. Even if someone were to say Lin Yuan had a Grade 5 Creator under his command, Fu Mi wouldn't be surprised at all.

Autumn stood before Lin Yuan and said, "Lord, I've already dealt with everything here. You can question them directly."

Winter surveyed the chaotic scene before him, then turned his attention to Autumn. He already had a hunch about what was unfolding.

Autumn had already handled the star pirates prior to Lin Yuan's arrival, employing unconventional methods that undeniably aided Lin Yuan without complication.

However, he had trodden a fine line, as he lacked insight into Lin Yuan's true intentions. Without this knowledge, Autumn couldn't predict how Lin Yuan planned to address the situation. If Lin Yuan had different plans, now that the star pirates were subdued, executing those plans might prove challenging!

Lin Yuan gazed at the mess strewn across the ground, raising his hand to summon the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to extract the remaining wills and laws from the corpses.

Since the wills and laws hadn't yet dissipated from the remnants of the star pirates, Lin Yuan glanced at the subdued group and said, "Autumn, release their constraints. Let them speak freely, at least. One of them might provide valuable insights!"

In response to Lin Yuan's directive, Autumn lifted the suppression on the star pirates. A black-faced man, who had previously taunted Fu Mi, exclaimed in alarm, "Who are you?! Why are you attacking us here?!"

Upon hearing his words, Lin Yuan looked at the terrified star pirate as though he was looking at a fool. "Why is it that you're allowed to lay hands on others, but others aren't allowed to lay hands on you? How can there be such a logic in this world!?"

At that moment, Meng Kuo's heart was filled with an unusual sense of fear, but Meng Kuo wasn't a fool and had already vaguely guessed the situation.

Fu Mi had already walked to Lin Yuan's side and bowed.

In this operation, Fu Mi could recognize Huang An and Xi Mei, and similarly, the leaders of the other star pirate groups could recognize them.

These three Grade 4 Creators couldn't be associated with star pirates. There were only two possibilities for such a situation to happen.

Firstly, Pang Li had pledged allegiance to the young man in front of him.

Secondly, the young man had already killed Pang Li and had only taken Fu Mi under his wing.

Upon receiving Fu Mi's invitation and arriving at the location, the leaders were shocked. They hadn't expected to find only Fu Mi there. It was precisely because of this they had ill intentions towards Fu Mi. If Fu Mi had appeared with her star pirate group, these other star pirates wouldn't have dared to harbor any ill intentions.

Lin Yuan sat on the chair that Fu Mi had brought over and said calmly, "You're all gathered together to snatch the Sacred Body Stone. I'm a little curious. There's only one Sacred Body Stone. How are you planning to distribute it with so many people?"

Lin Yuan had already handed over the Sacred Body Stone to the Moon Empress. Meanwhile, he had reaped considerable gains from a star pirate group. The combined strength of these six groups rivaled that of Fu Mi's previous crew, hinting at potentially lucrative returns for Lin Yuan.

Aware of their newfound dependence, the leaders were cautious not to provoke Lin Yuan, realizing he could offer them similar patronage as he did Fu Mi. These astute pirates promptly began earnestly responding to Lin Yuan's inquiries.

As Lin Yuan interacted with the high-ranking members of these groups, he learned of their intentions to invest in the upcoming Creation Conference.

Their plan? To barter the Sacred Body Stone with the Creators for a significant haul of potions, knowing well the likelihood of trading it for Grade 5 Creator resources.

Rather than squandering the Sacred Body Stone for resources, Lin Yuan pondered the aspirations of Pang Li, whom he had killed. He recognized the Sacred Body Stone's potential to awaken body composition, not to be obtained in vain.

Lin Yuan asked curiously, "How did you know there was a Sacred Body Stone in Fu Mi's star pirate group?"

When Lin Yuan asked a question, the green-haired star pirate was very cooperative and spoke first. "Lord, Pang Li's Sacred Body Stone was snatched from someone else's hands while exploring a relic. Pang Li chose to kill and silence them, unaware that someone had secretly left behind a message.

"I was the one who received the message and informed the other star pirates. With my own abilities, I couldn't seize the Sacred Body Stone from Pang Li's hands, so I had to resort to this plan. According to the agreement, each of the other five star pirate groups can only obtain 15% of the profits from the Sacred Body Stone. I can obtain 25%."

Lin Yuan looked at the green-haired star pirate and said softly, "Are you satisfied with only 25% of the profits from cooperating with the other five star pirates?"

The green-haired star pirate said helplessly, "If I take 10% more than them, they might still tolerate me. If I propose that each star pirate group only takes 10% while I take 50%, they might agree just to get the information. However, once they agree, they will definitely turn against me.

"The star pirate group I lead is the weakest among these groups. As a weakling, I have to consider my safety.

"Lord, I'm willing to use all the accumulation of our star pirate group to exchange for my life. In addition, I know of a blessed land that has yet to be developed. In this blessed land, there were certainly feys exclusive to it. These are the kinds of things even Grade 5 Creators would fight to acquire!"

Lin Yuan stared at the man with long green hair for a few seconds and said lightly, "If what you said is true, I can spare your life and let you follow Fu Mi in the future."

After saying that, Lin Yuan raised his voice at all the star pirates, "Right now, all of your lives are in my hands. I will only leave one person behind in each star pirate group. Since I've already chosen a person from this star pirate group, Autumn, get the rest to release their holy spirits!"

Autumn released his aura and used it to forcefully let the Holy Spirit star pirates, excluding the green-haired man, release the holy spirits from their divine kingdoms.

The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen looked at the holy spirits and shook her head at Lin Yuan, indicating that they were only suitable for devouring and not for refining into holy maids.

When Lin Yuan saw this, he waved his hand at Autumn. Without exception, these holy spirit experts were pierced by Autumn's fallen leaves and died on the spot.

Lin Yuan's casual words didn't have much of a deterrent effect, but the death of this star pirate immediately stimulated the other star pirate groups' members. They all started competing to reveal the secrets of their groups.

Unfortunately, the true secrets of the star pirates were in the hands of the upper echelons, and those with less power possessed limited information. Thus, only the true upper echelons had a chance to survive.

Lin Yuan wanted to leave one person in each star pirate group to contact more star pirates like Fu Mi and lure them over. Every member of the star pirate groups had a network in their hands, and this network was what Lin Yuan truly valued.

Lin Yuan was already prepared to treat the star pirates as prey and had specially arranged for Autumn to follow Fu Mi. Logically speaking, this team needed to be strengthened. Otherwise, Autumn, who had been sent out, would be wasted.

Unlike the young man with green hair who held information about a blessed land, the individuals from the other groups who first explained their situations didn't possess such knowledge. Still, these star pirate groups had abundant resources.

Lin Yuan had obtained more resources from these groups than he had from Fortune Treasure Palace combined. Moreover, many of the resources were invaluable. The kind of resources that could not be traded in Fortune Treasure Palace.

Hunting these star pirates could already be regarded as one of Sky City's pillar industries now.
