2020 Clash Swords with You!
With a hidden faction helping the Yang family, it was no wonder they could retaliate against the Su family’s secret ploy so easily.
The hidden experts in the imperial court had managed to kill three experts who had reached Immortal, two of which had reached intermediate Immortal.
Even pinnacle Immortal experts might not be able to kill intermediate Immortal experts so easily.
It was likely that that faction had Eternal experts.
It seemed that the Yang family had been secretly controlled by the faction for some time.
Lin Yuan could not help but think of the Truth Association.
Jin Qianxun of the Great Lush Federation’s Jin family had been sending Lin Yuan frequent updates using the Thoughts Letter Paper.
Jin Qianxun had sworn his loyalty to Lin Yuan, and there was nothing to be suspected about the information he supplied.
When Jin Qianxun had mentioned that the Truth Association was the supporter of all the factions in the Great Lush Federation, Lin Yuan had not thought much of it.
Jin Qianxun had reached pinnacle thearch-class and was almost at Immortal. However, he was only the 7th most important person in the Jin family.
Additionally, the Jin family was barely a part of the eight secret aristocratic families.
The Truth Association had to possess Eternal power in order to have such a firm lock over the Great Lush Federation’s eight secret aristocratic families.
The Truth Association had to be hiding something. Otherwise, they would not have hidden so many experts in the Great Lush Federation’s chambers of commerce and killed so many bandit groups from the two federations.
Since the Truth Association had already instructed the Great Lush Federation to take action, Lin Yuan felt that the faction hiding in the Yang family was likely to be the Truth Association.
Lin Yuan said seriously, “Begin Lady, help me to ask Little Peach what the Yang family can give the faction in exchange for eliminating the Su and Bai families.”
Regardless of whether the faction behind the Yang family was the Truth Association, a faction had to have a special reason for hiding in the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court but have no intention of replacing the Yang family.
Lin Yuan was very curious about this reason.
He could only better understand the faction when he learned of the reason. He would also find out how he should make contact as well as handle the faction.
When Begin Lady heard what Lin Yuan said, it immediately relayed Lin Yuan’s question to the Holy Lady.
To the Holy Lady, the most important person in her life was Begin Lady, followed by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had saved Begin Lady, meaning he had also saved the Holy Lady. She was even more grateful to him than if he had saved her.
In order to fulfill Lin Yuan’s request, the Holy Lady started to deepen its interaction with Yang Sijie.
Lin Yuan did not intend to stay in the Divine Wood Federation for too long.
Soon, Liu Yanshan would fetch Luo Lan to the underground palace.
At that time, Lin Yuan would need to snatch the Iron Hammer Federation back for Luo Lan.
In the process of growing, Lin Yuan learned more and more about the meaning of battle between factions and federations.
Because of this, Lin Yuan felt that Luo Lan had a noble soul. Or rather, she was slightly naive.
After Luo Lan reclaimed the imperial court, she would at least be able to give the regular citizens of the Iron Hammer Federation comfortable lives.
Lin Yuan regarded the entire Startling Lines Continent as Sky City’s back garden. Thus, stability in the Startling Lines Continent would be advantageous for Lin Yuan.
Frankly, the Startling Lines Continent was a place that was rich in resources. However, the Great Lush Federation and Iron Hammer Federation greatly lacked resources.
This was because tectonic plate movement under the Startling Lines Continent caused two completely opposite environments to form at the north and south poles of the Startling Lines Continent.
The south was full of fertile ground for growing food and plant-type feys, while the north was filled with mineral resources.
If the resources from the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation could interact, it would solve each region’s lack of resources and result in prosperity for the Startling Lines Continent.
Class 5 Creation Masters could only be produced in a prosperous environment.
The Great Lush Federation’s position was more advantageous than the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.
At the center of the Great Lush Federation was a deep harbor. It was twice as large as the largest harbor in the Radiance Federation, and the nearer to the center of the harbor, the deeper the water was.
A deep harbor was an important strategic resource to any federation because the Island Whales needed to dock at their shores.
It could be said that the Great Lush Federation was the best place for sea trading.
It was just a shame that the Great Lush Federation had not properly utilized the deep harbor.
Only three to five Island Whales were in the Great Lush Federation’s deep harbor.
Once they made good use of the deep harbor and started trading with other federations, the Great Lush Federation would receive foreign resources and quickly become prosperous.
However, the Great Lush Federation had to have its own considerations for not establishing any trading deals with other federations.
After all, without powerful combat power, the trading could become a trap for the Great Lush Federation if the other federations realized that there were valuable resources.
In the entire main world, federations without Class 5 Creation Masters lacked stability.
There used to be seven of the Dark Federations in the Dark Continent that competed endlessly.
It was because Su Yiren’s grandmother became a Class 5 Creation Master that she established a balance between the seven federations and formed the Seven States of Darkness.
However, the Truth Association was hidden in the Great Lush Federation!
Lin Yuan could be certain that there were Class 5 Creation Masters within the Truth Association. Otherwise, they would not have so many experts.
Since the Truth Association had not appeared to help with the Great Lush Federation’s trading, it meant that the Truth Association was not interested in helping the Great Lush Federation’s development.
With this thought, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the inner workings of the Startling Lines Continent were suddenly interesting.
The Truth Association was already deeply rooted in the Great Lush Federation, and Lin Yuan did not intend to head to the Great Lush Federation anytime soon.
Nonetheless, it would not hurt to clash swords with the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court and Truth Association first.
This would let the Truth Association know there was a powerful enemy in the Startling Lines Continent.
Rather than him seeking and giving the Truth Association a chance to hide, it would be better for them to seek him out instead.
...
With this thought, Lin Yuan lifted his head and asked, “Begin Lady, you probably need to sleep for some time after setting your spirit fire alight, right? When do you plan on sleeping?”
Begin Lady nodded and replied, “After absorbing the spirit fire from the Heaven’s Present, my physical body and strength have been bolstered. However, my soul still needs to be slowly improved. My slumber will be meant to improve my soul. I plan on sleeping once you’re done with what you need to do in the Divine Wood Federation.”
