Chapter 2964 Sky City That Was Targeted!

On one hand, Lin Yuan rewarded Jin Chen for his excellent performance in completing the mission assigned to him.
On the other hand, Jin Chen's awareness of the value of the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flowers for Sky City's development played a significant role. Storing them in the divine kingdom ensured their safety, even in the event of an accident, as long as Jin Chen remained unharmed.
Lin Yuan admired Jin Chen's foresight, contrasting it with Kani's less careful approach to handling matters.
It had been five days since Jin Chen's return to the faith country. Considering the timing, it was about time for the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace to reach out to him.
The Star Vastness Peony's secondary flower could directly release starlight energy to communicate with Lin Yuan. There was no need for the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower.
Lin Yuan had already told the Star Vastness Peony that once a request came from the ramet, he would arrange for it to meet the Palace Master directly using the connection made of starlight.
Lin Yuan shifted his gaze back to Four Seasons Mountain, which had evolved into a higher faerie.
While Lin Yuan was observing Four Seasons Mountain, it had already arrived in front of him. It knelt on one knee and said with cupped fists, "I successfully became a higher faerie with your help, Lord. I hope you can give me a name!"
For a faerie, a name held significant importance. Faeries typically chose their own names, and it was rare for them to seek help from others in naming themselves, as was the case now.
Four Seasons Mountain's actions were both a form of gratitude and reliance on Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking. "You are a natural landscape nurtured by Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Your body is tainted with the aura of the four seasons. The changing of the four seasons is a cycle. Why don't we call you Season Cycle?"
Season Cycle muttered the name that Lin Yuan had given it. "Thank you for giving me a name, Lord!"
Season Cycle's human form was a black-haired girl who looked very cold. Her long black hair hung down to her feet and fluttered in the wind, looking exceptionally elegant.
The most memorable thing about Season Cycle was her eyes. She had heterochromatic eyes, with two different colors in each eye. Blue, green, orange, and white represented the colors of the four seasons. Her dazzling four-colored eyes alone would leave an unforgettable impression on people.
There was no need for Lin Yuan to use Morbius' True Data to investigate Season Cycle.
"Lord, apart from using the aura of the four seasons to nourish everything, I can also use roots power to condense the Four Seasons paradise. In paradise, I can increase the comprehension of lifeforms of the world and help them nurture a special body composition.
"Once a lifeform obtains body composition in my Four Seasons paradise, it can use the aura of the four seasons to constantly improve its body composition!"
Season Cycle paused for a moment and looked at Begin Lady, "The way I bestowed body composition on other lifeforms is very similar to how Begin Lady used her own blood to help other lifeforms obtain the Sacred Wood bloodline.
"If I encounter problems or face death, the people who have obtained body composition in the Four Seasons paradise will be affected. The mildest consequence is losing body composition, where the vitality within the body diminished, resulting in a lifespan of less than twenty years. Heavier consequences entail the loss of life."
Lin Yuan could not help but sigh in his heart. The abilities of a higher faerie were indeed much stronger than that of an intermediate faerie. Lin Yuan had a special body composition and was well aware of the benefits it could bring to a lifeform.
Season Cycle was located directly below Sky Sea and was protected by Sky City. If the safety of Season Cycle was compromised, the entire Sky City would fall. However, such a scenario was highly unlikely to occur. Furthermore, Season Cycle possessed astonishing strength.
Season Cycle was now stronger than Holy Spirit existences like Jin Chen and Kani. If anyone were to make a move on Season Cycle, their strength had to transcend the Holy Spirit level and reach the level of Liu Chen and Liu Yao.
Winter once discussed with Lin Yuan about how a lifeform could acquire its body composition. Only a very small portion of lifeforms' body composition were innate. Most lifeforms' body composition had to be nurtured.
In some special mystic realms, there was a spiritual ingredient called the Sacred Body Stone. A lifeform would absorb it into their body and fuse it with their bones, blood, and soul to become a stone core in their body. The Sacred Body Stone would then trigger a genetic model and create a body composition that was compatible with that lifeform.
The lifeform would be guided by the stone core and would have a clear understanding of what spiritual ingredients it should obtain to refine the stone core. When the stone core was completely dissolved in its body, this lifeform would awaken its body composition.
However, as opposed to obtaining the body composition bestowed by Season Cycle in the Four Seasons paradise, Lin Yuan was more inclined to find Sacred Body Stone for the Moon Empress, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and Su Yiren so that they could obtain body compositions that were compatible with their bodies.
Lin Yuan believed that the body composition obtained in the Four Seasons paradise was more suitable as a reward for white-clothed followers to enhance their strength.
Lin Yuan had just arranged for Season Cycle to help Emerald Lady and Gray Pool to nurture the Soldier Ration Radishes when Wen Yu found him. "Young Master, Bei Xu sent me a message through the Thoughts Letter Paper and said that there is a group of people occupying the banks of the Lonely River. These people are most likely with a clear purpose in mind."
"Bei Xu sent two groups of Stone Mantis Crabs to meet with them. However, they did not attack the two groups. Bei Xu suspects they are either targeting Sky City or the resources that the Crimson Heaven Falcons have been waiting for for so long."
At present, Jin Chen was no longer by Lin Yuan's side.
Lin Yuan glanced in the direction that Jin Chen had left and said, "Wen Yu, arrange for Liu Chen and Liu Yao to monitor this group of people closely. Don't alert them for the time being. Let's see what their goal is first!"
Lin Yuan found it implausible that these individuals had come for the Crimson Heaven Falcons. They had nested in North of the Lonely River for epochs, making it improbable for these newcomers to know when the spiritual ingredient they awaited would mature. Even if they possessed such knowledge, it seemed unlikely they would attack for such scarce resources.
Their assembly by the Lonely River suggested they were investigating matters on its opposite shore, oblivious to the Crimson Heaven Falcons' situation. Thus, it could be inferred they were likely there for Jin Chen.
Lin Yuan recalled Jin Chen's assurance that he hadn't been followed upon his return. He also trusted Jin Chen wouldn't intentionally invite trouble. If these people were connected to Jin Chen, it hinted at their superior strength, surpassing even Jin Chen's Holy Spirit level. There must be beings above the Holy Spirit level among them, possibly more than one, to perceive Jin Chen as prey.
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen currently lacked holy maids. Should these individuals dare to target Sky City, they could become prime candidates for such a role. Hopefully, one among them possessed a holy spirit meeting the criteria to serve as a holy maid.
Upon receiving Lin Yuan's instructions, Wen Yu immediately arranged for Liu Chen and Liu Yao to monitor that group of people. Out of concern for Bei Xu's safety, Wen Yu had asked Autumn to take care of him before informing Lin Yuan.
Autumn had always exuded an air of arrogance and aloofness toward many, but with Wen Yu, he displayed profound respect. This stemmed from Wen Yu's equivalence to him and the others who once followed Lin Yuan. It was clear that Lin Yuan placed a deep trust in Wen Yu and his companions. As Wen Yu matured, she and Liu Jie might indeed become integral companions.
Despite Bei Xu's low presence, he held a pivotal role within Sky City, greatly esteemed by Lin Yuan. Autumn stood ready to defend Bei Xu if needed, and on regular days, he oversaw territorial patrols.
On the banks of the Lonely River…
A group of people who looked ordinary but could not hide their hostility gathered together and roasted the fresh fish that they had just caught.
Among them, an one-eyed man cast a glance toward the Lonely River greedily and said fiercely, "Big Brother, could our information be wrong? Is that person really a special honor guest who traded resources from Fortune Treasure Palace?
"We've gone through all this trouble to follow him here and almost exhausted Sixth Brother's aura-seeking earthworm to death. If we don't get anything, we will have wasted our efforts. There's nothing worth plundering here!"
"There are Four Species Overlords that have ruled the Lonely River for many years. They must have accumulated a lot of resources. Why don't we plunder them first and give our brothers some assurance?"
Before the honest-looking man in the lead could speak, the red-eyed woman with two curved horns on her head gave the one-eyed man a fierce scolding, "Fifth Brother, remember that you are a star pirate, not a thief. There is no need to resort to thief tactics.
"Even if we really want to attack the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River, we have to first confirm the relationship between them and the Bloodians. Didn't you hear that they are working with the Bloodians? Don't offend the Bloodians over this matter. If we offend them, we'll have to face the pursuit of some Bloodian clans!"
The one-eyed man gritted his teeth in pain but did not dare to say anything to this woman. He could only say embarrassedly, "It's already very difficult for the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River to establish a relationship with the Bloodians. How can the Bloodians take them seriously? I don't think there's even a Holy Spirit expert among the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River. When we wipe them out, why would we leave any survivors who might leak information? Third Sister, you're being too cautious!"
The one-eyed man was afraid that the red-eyed woman would slap him again, so he quickly changed the topic. "But you're right, Third Sister. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Before the one-eyed man could finish speaking, the honest-looking man in the lead gritted his teeth and stood up, "There's nothing worth plundering from the Four Species of the Lonely River. The information we received can't be wrong. Our people have been planted in Fortune Treasure Palace for nearly 100 years.
"As their customers, we choose suitable targets in Fortune Treasure Palace. The person we're following was personally received by Zhan Lu. Hence, he must have a powerful background!"
"We're not only targeting him but also the faction behind him. Let's go and investigate the strength of this faction first. Don't act rashly. I have a feeling that we will definitely earn a lot this time.
"In a few years, the largest event in the entire East Universe, the Creation Conference, will begin. At that time, the major factions in the East Universe will send Creators to participate. We have to plunder more resources to ensure that we can invite these Creators to tailor-make potions for us at the Creator Conference.
"We have a Sacred Body Stone. In order to obtain this Sacred Body Stone back then, only seven out of the ten of us brothers remain today. Even if it's for the souls of our brothers, we have to use this Sacred Body Stone well!"
When the others heard the leader's words, their expressions changed. Complex emotions flashed in the depths of their eyes, yet none of them showed any sign of being convinced by his words.
There was only one Sacred Body Stone. In the end, only one person could complete the contract with it. Now, everyone was risking their lives to help that one person at the Creation Conference.
In this group, the one most qualified to absorb the Sacred Body Stone was obviously the man in the lead. It was true that doing all of this would make the group stronger. However, these star pirates, who were accustomed to living on the edge, were not willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
The few of them were about to fake a response when nine different types of elemental energy quietly filled the surrounding environment. These types of elemental energy finally turned into a cage that trapped this group of people.
Liu Chen and Liu Yao's figures appeared outside the cage. Lin Yuan had instructed them to monitor this group and find out their motive.
Liu Chen and Liu Yao now knew the purpose of these people and their identities. It turned out that they were a group of high-end star pirates who specialized in plundering experts.
Lin Yuan had said that it was best not to alert the enemy. However, now that he knew their identities and goals, capturing them would not be considered disobeying Lin Yuan's orders.
These people thought that they had found the password to their wealth, but targeting Sky City was equivalent to sending themselves into a bottomless abyss.
