Chapter 430: Indigo Azure Sea Market
When Listen heard Lin Yuan’s words, he frowned slightly and pondered.
After pondering for a long time, Listen suddenly smiled and said, “The Zheng family is a veteran faction. As one of the three major factions in Indigo Azure City, they could be said to be supreme.
“If I were the Zheng family’s Young Master Zheng and I suddenly found that the target I want to kill returned to Indigo Azure City from the Royal Capital alive, even if the Zheng family could determine that the pinnacle king-class expert sent out has died, they would at most only suspect that the death is related to me but can’t confirm it.
“The shallow near-shore sea is imperative to the Zheng family. I think the Zheng family will send experts to kill me again.”
When Lin Yuan heard Listen’s words, he asked, “Then what kind of expert do you think the Zheng family will send to attack you?”
In Lin Yuan’s opinion, the Zheng family would definitely send an expert to attack Listen, but the main purpose of that would not necessarily be for Listen to die immediately.
Rather, it was to prove whether or not the death of the pinnacle king-class expert that they had sent had anything to do with Listen. This was frankly a test.
Someone who could silently kill a pinnacle king-class expert with Diamond X/Fantasy IV fey at least had emperor-class strength. No veteran faction would casually use an emperor-class expert.
Before the Zheng family was sure how strong the emperor-class expert that had killed the pinnacle king-class expert really was, they would never let their own emperor-class experts easily take risks.
The loss of a pinnacle king-class expert must have been very painful for the Zheng family. Thus, in Lin Yuan’s opinion, the Zheng family’s king-class expert shouldn’t be too strong and was at most at Fei Qianqiong’s level. The Zheng family must have been ready to lose a king-class expert for this scouting attempt.
Listen answered Lin Yuan’s question, “I can’t say what kind of expert the Zheng family will send. It should be either a king-class or emperor-class expert. The king-class expert is more likely.”
Listen paused for a moment and then added, “But I know Young Master won’t let the Zheng family kill me.”
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and replied, “That’s for sure.”
Besides the resources that Lin Yuan could invest in Listen, if the Zheng family killed listen, Lin Yuan would have made ducks and drakes of his previous effort.
In addition, Listen had issued an allegiance oath to Lin Yuan and was a part of Lin Yuan’s private faction, Sky City. Lin Yuan wouldn’t let the Zheng family lay hands on the members of his own faction.
“Listen, since you’ve returned to Indigo Azure City from the Royal Capital, you naturally have to return to the old mansion.”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking to Listen, he turned to Endless Summer, who was sitting beside him in a lotus position, and said, “Endless Summer, when Listen returns to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s old mansion, protect him in the dark just like you did in the Royal Capital.”
Endless Summer nodded at his words. Then Endless Summer lifted its pale hands and shook the Diamond fey storage box hanging at the wrist and replied, “There are still the corpses of two high-grade dark-type feys in here. When the time comes, Sister Blood will divide the spiritual materials in their bodies properly.”
When Lin Yuan heard Endless Summer say that, he recalled the time when the Mother of Bloodbath had split the corpse of that pinnacle Suzerain/Myth II crow without any waste.
The Mother of Bloodbath pondered for a moment and said, “Since they’re two high-grade dark-type Fantasy Breed feys, their willpower should both be relatively strong.
“I’ll carefully divide when we return to the Royal Capital to see if I can control the blood with the Blood Law and stimulate their cellular activity to preserve the willpower in their minds to the maximum.”
As they went on their journey, they were getting closer and closer to the Indigo Azure City. Lin Yuan felt that the surrounding temperature was significantly higher than when he was in the Royal Capital. The air above the sea also faintly carried a salty sea breeze.
On the back of the Platinum Long-Backed Swan, Lin Yuan could already faintly see the outline of Indigo Azure City. This city by the sea was too huge.
Even when Lin Yuan was high in the sky, the area within his sight could only encompass 1/10 or 2/10 of this huge city.
A light-blue Dragon’s Mouth Orchid only half the size of a palm appeared in Lin Yuan’s hand. He handed it to Zhou Luo and said, “Let your Lava Iguana evolve first and wait for me to contact you.”
After saying that, Lin Yuan thought for a moment and took out another tube of dark-gold blood and added, “Take this tube of Diamond dragon blood as well. If the Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid can’t stimulate the dragon-species bloodline in the Lava Iguana’s body, this tube of blood should be able to provide a supplementary effect.”
Some unknown variations would occasionally accompany the stimulation of the dragon-species bloodline in a fey, so Lin Yuan provided a tube of Diamond dragon-species fey’s blood for Zhou Luo, which was considered being prepared.
Zhou Luo took Lin Yuan’s gift and said, “Young Master, one day is enough time for the Lava Iguana to awaken the dragon-species bloodline in its body and advance its grade.
“If you don’t contact me after that, I’ll go to that shallow near-shore sea of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to inquire about any news.”
Lin Yuan suddenly noticed that a determined emotion had appeared in Zhou Luo’s eyes during this moment. Zhou Luo had also taken the initiative to undertake the mission after knowing the purpose of his trip. This situation indicated that Zhou Luo had somehow started to devote more than just loyalty to himself.
“Okay. But since someone is secretly watching that shallow near-shore sea, you shouldn’t put yourself in danger by going there.
“There is a Guild Alliance branch near that shallow near-shore sea. You should be able to gain something by going there to investigate.”
Besides the fact that true top-notch factions had their own news intelligence connections, the Guild Alliance’s news was undoubtedly considered being the most comprehensive.
After all, the Guild Alliance was filled with spirit qi professionals, and many of them were from Indigo Azure City. These spirit qi professionals lived in Indigo Azure City all year round, so someone might know some useful information.
At that moment, Listen suddenly thought of something and said, “Young Master, there’ll be a grand Indigo Azure Sea Market in Indigo Azure City before the riotous period of the dimensional rift every decade.
“Almost all the local factions and individuals in Indigo Azure City will sell spiritual materials and feys they have collected in the sea during these ten years at this sea market.
“Many of the sea spiritual materials and feys there are rare and odd things. There are always people who buy them, but there are times when even Class 4 Creation Masters misjudge.”
