Chapter 712: Power Conforms to its Target

After being awakened by Liu Jie, Lin Yuan felt dizzy. It was torture to be woken up when you were sleeping exceptionally soundly.
When he woke up, his eyes felt hot and swollen. He gently rubbed his eyes.
Just as he was about to stretch, he noticed Liu Jie’s solemn expression.
Lin Yuan immediately sat up straight.
Liu Jie saw that Liu Jie had awoken and said in an austere voice, “Lin Yuan, Duan He is back. But he can’t enter the mansion yet.”
Lin Yuan was still slightly dazed when his eyes suddenly flew open.
From what Liu Jie had just said, Lin Yuan knew what had happened.
When Lin Yuan had last spoken with Duan He, he had told Duan He not to bring the bloodied bodies of enemies into the mansion. Since Liu Jie had said that Duan He could not come into the mansion yet, it meant that Duan He had brought back another bloodied body of an enemy.
Liu Jie quickly pulled on a long white robe embroidered with fish patterns and said, “Big Brother Liu, let’s go down together.”
Liu Jie walked up to Lin Yuan and said, “Lin Yuan, I think the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce will be going through a tumultuous period for now. Zhou Luo’s Lava Dragon Lizard was severely injured while it was protecting Listen. If Duan He hadn’t appeared in time to save it, Zhuo Luo would be done for.”
Lin Yuan’s expression darkened.
“How is Zhou Luo’s Lava Dragon Lizard now?”
A look of relief came over Liu Jie’s face as he said, “In order to defend Listen against a lethal blow, half of the Lava Dragon Lizard’s body was split open. If it wasn’t a defense-type fey and had the dragon-species-bloodline with impressive regenerative abilities, it would never have been able to hold out until Master Hong Shen arrived.
“When Master Hong Shen arrived, he immediately started healing its roots. It was only then that Zhou Luo was able to return it to the spiritual spatial zone. The Lava Dragon Lizard is already being well taken care of by Master Hong Shen in the mansion. This level of injury will probably take at least a month to heal.”
When Lin Yuan heard about the Lava Dragon Lizard’s injury, he immediately clenched his fist.
Fighting always broke out in a split second between experts. If Duan He had been even a second later, the Lava Dragon Lizard would have died. To a spirit qi professional like Zhou Luo, the death of the Lava Dragon Lizard would be like him losing his best partner. It would have affected Zhou Luo for the rest of his life.
When Zhou Luo had stood out in the water world dimensional rift to take on the Blade Worms, he had also been willing to sacrifice his life for Lin Yuan and Liu Jie. Hence, Lin Yuan treated Zhou Luo as a member of his family. It was also after that that Zhou Luo’s image was carved onto the feature wall in the living room.
Lin Yuan felt that he had been too careless.
When he had been facing off against the Suzerain/Myth II Night Calamity Crow, the main Zheng family’s Nightmare Squad and third lineage of the Zheng family’s pinnacle Suzerain Jiao Hanzhong, he had won every fight.
Moreover, his journey had been too smooth, which resulted in Lin Yuan losing his cautiousness.
He had almost forgotten how strong the enemy was.
In the fights against the Night Calamity Crow, Nightmare VI, and Jiao Hanzhong, the Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer had been the main combatants.
As they were Sky City’s top fighters, they had managed to successfully kill the enemies.
Frankly, Nightmare VI was just the sixth strongest member of the Zheng family’s Nightmare Squad.
The main function of the Nightmare Squad was to serve the young generation of the Zheng family’s direct descendants.
Additionally, the Nightmare Squad was not the Zheng family’s only resource.
Lin Yuan was now fully aware. His Sky City was very much lacking in fighting power.
Although Endless Summer and the Mother of Bloodbath were emperor-class experts, the Mother of Bloodbath was only Suzerain VIII/Myth II, and Endless Summer was Suzerain X/Myth III.
Endless Summer’s power had not yet reached pinnacle Suzerain X/Myth III.
Technically, Endless Summer could not be considered the strongest emperor-class presence.
As for the new emperor-class expert Duan He, he had not joined Sky City for long, while Purple Demon had only recently evolved to Suzerain II.
Duan He could be considered an impressive fighting force given the Seven-Headed Sea Demon Snake’s current power. He was now Sky City’s current top fighting force.
Sky City’s power lay in its fighting abilities. However, the king-class experts’ power was much weaker. It could not even amount to the power of a rising faction.
Zhou Luo, Master Hong Shen, Hu Quan, and Fei Qianqiong were the only four king-class experts in Sky City.
However, Hu Quan was a Spirit Craftsman and did not fight.
Fei Qianqiong was a spy in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce and could not use his true strength easily. Thus, the strongest fighting force out of the four of them was Master Hong Shen, who had contracted the Black Bronze Succulent.
Lin Yuan thought, Sky City’s fighting power must be raised.
But Lin Yuan had no plans to change the current members or their roles.
Although Sky City was a faction, it was also a large family in which the members supported each other.
Character was the most important criterion to become a member of Sky City.
Zhou Luo and Master Hong Shen might not be very strong now, but they had the potential to become stronger.
Ever since Sky City had announced its private faction territory’s role, it had generated enough reputation to gain the loyalty of any king-class expert.
Nonetheless, Sky City had openly opposed the Zheng family and the Miao family.
King-class experts were not enough to solve the insufficiency in fighting power, which was what Sky City truly needed.
The stronger Sky City became, the greater threat they would pose to other factions.
However, he also could not disregard the power of king-class experts because they were always reliable sources of strength.
Lin Yuan had been too busy to develop the white-clothed-followers plan after he used it that one time.
But now, he needed to pick up the slack.
