Chapter 2993 The Master of the Sacred Feather Villa!

Winter added, “If this Grade 5 Creator is killed just like that, I can guarantee that no news will spread, but it will be a pity. This Grade 5 Creator’s ability should be stronger than Yi He’s. Furthermore, this Grade 5 Creator is powerful and has successfully awakened his body composition, which has reached the standard of Class 2!”

Winter’s words immediately piqued Lin Yuan’s interest.

Winter’s meaning was clear. Even if this Grade 5 Creator was unwilling to submit, Winter still could not bear to kill him.

Lin Yuan knew very well how many benefits a Grade 5 Creator could create. Even the powerful organizations might not have a Grade 5 Creator holding down and presiding over them.

Basically, those powerful factions were working together with Grade 5 Creators. This could be seen from Ling Muzhuo’s attitude toward Grade 5 Creators.

It was a pleasant surprise to meet a Grade 5 Creator there.

Subduing this Grade 5 Creator wasn’t as straightforward as Ling Muzhuo introducing them to Yi He, who was nearing the end of their lifespan, and then taking in Yi He through the Lifespan Mouse.

Grade 5 Creators were notoriously proud and conceited. It was unlikely that this one truly believed Winter would dare to confront him. Subduing such a Grade 5 Creator would undoubtedly pose a significant challenge, but Lin Yuan was determined to seize this opportunity.

“Autumn, send me to Winter’s place. Take this Thoughts Letter Paper. If any faction contacts you, subdue those factions that have gathered together.”

In Lin Yuan’s eyes, the Grade 5 Creator Winter encountered was even more important than this mid-grade blessed land and the auspicious signs that were about to be born in the blessed land.

…

From afar, Lin Yuan could see Winter confronting a group of people. The aura emitted by this group was not as strong as Winter’s.

However, they were not at a disadvantage at all when facing Winter.

The person in the lead was wearing a long golden robe, thick white embroidered pants, and a pair of long boots with six pearls. This set of clothes looked simple, but the level of spiritual ingredients used was something that Lin Yuan could not compare to.

It had only been less than a year since Lin Yuan came to the Sky Beyond the Clouds from a Class 2 world. Even though he had already cooperated with Fortune Treasure Palace and subdued a Grade 5 Creator, Lin Yuan did not take any resources from Yi He apart from the items to store blessed lands.

Lin Yuan’s current resource reserves were inferior to this Grade 5 Creator’s.

Lin Yuan had read many books in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, including the ancient books that had been passed down by the Bloodians for hundreds of thousands of years.

It could be seen that this person was extraordinary.

Apart from Grade 5 Creators, there was probably no other group that could use the silk spat out by Holy Spirit Eternal Night Cry Silkworms to make luxurious clothes.

Not only was this person dressed very luxuriously, but he also had an excellent appearance. His aura was oppressive, and he had a powerful aura. It was obvious this person was the Grade 5 Creator that Winter had mentioned!

Winter bowed to Lin Yuan.

“Young Master, you’re here. This Grade 5 Creator wants to talk to you.”

When Winter spoke to Lin Yuan, his tone was extremely respectful.

Winter’s attitude toward Lin Yuan surprised the Grade 5 Creator.

Zhong Zhiyu was there because he had long discovered there was a high chance that an auspicious sign of heaven and earth would appear there.

Be it the auspicious signs of heaven and earth or this mid-grade blessed land, Zhong Zhiyu was quite interested.

Originally, Zhong Zhiyu wanted to keep a low profile and hide his identity. Zhong Zhiyu’s concealment of his identity had gone extremely smoothly until a few moments ago. However, after meeting Winter, Zhong Zhiyu’s identity could not be hidden anymore.

Zhong Zhiyu was very surprised by Winter’s strength. As a Grade 5 Creator, Zhong Zhiyu was a top-notch big shot with outstanding strength.

In the end, a person far stronger than him suddenly appeared, forcing him to use his Grade 5 Creator identity to deal with him.

Such an expert actually bowed to a young man with such a respectful attitude. This young man was not even 50 years old yet. Zhong Zhiyu was surprised by Lin Yuan’s identity. What kind of identity did a young man have to have such a person accompanying him?

Zhong Zhiyu restrained his arrogant attitude. Given Winter’s strength and Lin Yuan’s age, Lin Yuan’s faction did not lack Grade 5 Creators.

Otherwise, he would definitely not have such an attitude when facing him.

Before Zhong Zhiyu could speak, a servant in gorgeous clothes behind him spoke. “Why aren’t you greeting my Lord? Your guard wanted to attack my Lord just now. He—”

This servant had been by Zhong Zhiyu’s side for a long time. This servant was extremely good at flattering and winning Zhong Zhiyu’s favor, so the latter had always kept this servant close.

Zhong Zhiyu was thinking about how he should treat Lin Yuan. Although this young man was not a Grade 5 Creator, he was abnormally noble.

In his faction, he might be able to command Grade 5 Creators.

If not for that, this faction would not have arranged for such a powerful retainer to follow this young man. Furthermore, there were two of them!

Before Zhong Zhiyu could speak, his retainer spoke first and he said the same thing.

Zhong Zhiyu raised his hand and slapped the retainer’s head. With a crack, the retainer’s head shrank back.

A pinnacle Holy Spirit lifeform wouldn’t succumb to such a blow, but undoubtedly, their roots must have suffered severe damage!

Zhong Zhiyu’s actions communicated his stance to Lin Yuan. Simultaneously, he employed this strategy to safeguard his retainer’s life. Otherwise, should his retainer’s words displease Lin Yuan, he might order Winter to execute the retainer, with Zhong Zhiyu possibly unable to intervene.

Moreover, if the retainer were slain and Zhong Zhiyu found himself powerless, he would struggle to maintain control over his subordinates in the future!

“My retainer needs to be disciplined. Don’t mind him. Your guard released his aura to force me to submit. I want to ask you what’s going on!”

Lin Yuan chuckled and replied fiercely even though Zhong Zhiyu’s attitude was very good.

“If you weren’t a Grade 5 Creator, you would be dead now! I’ve taken a fancy to this auspicious and mid-grade blessed land that is about to be born. All the factions who want to fight for the auspicious and mid-grade blessed land will die if they don’t submit!”

Zhong Zhiyu’s face betrayed his anger.

This guy in front of him was so domineering at such a young age. These words were equivalent to not giving him any respect at all.

However, Lin Yuan’s words made Zhong Zhiyu even more afraid. At the same time, he knew he would most likely be in adversity in the following conversation!

No matter how noble a Grade 5 Creator’s identity was, it was only an identity. If it was in Honor Absent Palace, Zhong Zhiyu would not give Lin Yuan any respect and would not need to be afraid.

However, if the other party really attacked him at Coiling Dragon Mountain, he would not be able to do anything. As long as everything was dealt with cleanly, it would be difficult to leave any evidence behind.

At that moment, Zhong Zhiyu knew he could not avoid this topic. Lin Yuan had mentioned the word ‘submit’ as soon as he arrived. Evidently, he would only be satisfied when he submitted to him.

Zhong Zhiyu looked at Lin Yuan and asked solemnly, “What do you mean? You want me to submit so that you can give me a way out? Haha, I think I misunderstood!”

Zhong Zhiyu wanted to change the topic but did not expect Lin Yuan’s answer.

“Do you know what the happiest thing for me has been since coming to Coiling Dragon Mountain? It’s discovering your existence. Your life can only continue if you submit to me. Since you mentioned wanting to talk, let’s discuss submission!”

Lin Yuan gestured for Zhong Zhiyu to speak directly.

Zhong Zhiyu felt choked by Lin Yuan. He did want to talk about it, but it was definitely not a subject of submission.

Why should I, a Grade 5 Creator, submit? Why should I submit?

Previously, Zhong Zhiyu had always been held in high regard, regardless of his location.

However, upon arriving at Coiling Dragon Mountain, he felt like he had been cornered by a ferocious dog, its menacing fangs poised to strike.

These individuals boasted mysterious backgrounds, yet they dared to threaten someone of Zhong Zhiyu’s stature—a Grade 5 Creator.

Clearly, they intended to keep this confrontation under wraps. Refusal to comply could spell a dire outcome for him.

With a deep breath, Zhong Zhiyu turned his gaze toward Lin Yuan, his silence speaking volumes.

His retinue remained silent as well, fully aware of the consequences. Zhong Zhiyu had recently even struck down his most trusted retainer, a display that foreboded ill regardless of the validity of his actions.

Though accustomed to wielding power over others, Zhong Zhiyu’s followers were not oblivious to the gravity of the situation. This was no longer a scenario they could intervene in.

As their eyes locked, Lin Yuan exuded an aura so commanding that even Zhong Zhiyu felt its weight pressing down on him.

In the end, Zhong Zhiyu asked solemnly, “You don’t know my ability. Are you sure that if you attack me, the news won’t spread?”

Lin Yuan shrugged. “There’s nothing absolute in this world. I don’t know how capable you are, but since I dare to do such a thing, I naturally have confidence! If you’re unwilling to submit, I’ll bear the consequences of killing you here. You don’t have to worry about this!”

When Lin Yuan said that, Zhong Zhiyu’s aura relaxed like a deflated ball.

“I, Zhong Zhiyu, traveled extensively and became a Grade 5 Creator 40,000 years ago. I didn’t expect to fail and become someone else’s subordinate one day! This might be the tribulation that I deserve!”

Lin Yuan looked at Zhong Zhiyu’s defeated expression and said with a smile, “How do you know this is a calamity and not an opportunity? Perhaps after this incident, you will be able to improve further!”

Zhong Zhiyu felt strong confidence from Lin Yuan’s words. Moreover, from Lin Yuan’s attitude toward him, Zhong Zhiyu could tell that Lin Yuan valued him. Apart from being valued, there was no other reverence or respect.

There might not be any opportunities for him to join Lin Yuan, but he would be able to find out this young man’s secrets!

“I’m a Grade 5 Creator after all. There must be some benefits for me to join you, right? I wonder what benefits you can give me?”

Before visiting Zhong Zhiyu, Lin Yuan pondered a crucial question: What could he offer a Grade 5 Creator?

After careful consideration, Lin Yuan realized that besides the Lifespan Mouse, he possessed nothing of greater value to a Grade 5 Creator.

Indeed, Morbius had yet to mature, and the resources from the Spirit Lock spatial zone were, at best, Grade 5 Creator level.

Nevertheless, few things in the world eluded a Grade 5 Creator’s grasp.

If there was one exception, it was lifespan. Otherwise, individuals like Yi He wouldn’t be in such dire straits.

Lin Yuan wasn’t privy to Zhong Zhiyu’s lifespan, yet he trusted that a person of Zhong Zhiyu’s insight would recognize the Lifespan Mouse’s worth upon seeing it. Thus, possessing the Lifespan Mouse should suffice when dealing with a Grade 5 Creator.

Rather than unveiling the Lifespan Mouse immediately, Lin Yuan changed the subject and inquired, “Since you’re considering joining forces with me, let’s formally introduce ourselves. I’m Lin Yuan, Sky City’s City Lord. This is Winter, and the companion accompanying us is Autumn. I’m a little curious about your lifespan.”

Zhong Zhiyu had already resigned himself to his fate and wished to join Lin Yuan. Were someone else to ask about his lifespan, he would staunchly refuse to divulge such private information, likely reacting with frustration.

This question was deeply personal to an expert and not easily broached. Even a close confidant asking such a question could evoke aversion.

Zhong Zhiyu had never contemplated concealing his lifespan from Lin Yuan.

“I’m now a high-grade Grade 5 Creator and the owner of Sacred Feather Villa. 45,000 years ago, my strength successfully improved. I still have more than 10,000 years of lifespan left! But to be honest, I’m also at the age where I have to search for spiritual ingredients to increase my lifespan. I’ll inevitably have to go out and find a way to increase my lifespan after joining you. I hope you can forgive me for this!”

As he spoke, Zhong Zhiyu felt a little melancholic. This was because Zhong Zhiyu knew very well that even if he kept searching for more than 10,000 years, he could only increase his lifespan by a few thousand years at most.
