2646 You Don’t Deserve to Be Threatened By Us!
At that time, the Abyss Red Lotus had only taken control of three dimensional worlds. But now that he had taken control of five, Lin Yuan would be even stronger after fusing with it!
Lin Yuan said, “Master, don’t worry. I will be back very soon!”
Before leaving the inner palace, Lin Yuan released the Abyss Great Emperor, who Red Thorn’s tongue pouch was transforming.
He did not give the Moon Empress time to respond before he transported himself to the Resting Moon Palace’s entrance.
As the Moon Empress looked at the Abyss Great Emperor, tears started welling up uncontrollably in her eyes.
It went without saying she knew what Lin Yuan’s intention was. He had left this abyss demon with powers above the spirit-fire level here to protect her.
In actuality, he was already intending to burn all bridges with Tarot Round Table.
However, Tarot Round Table had four spirit-fire experts, and Lin Yuan was afraid they would come to the Radiance Moon Palace to harm her while he was battling it out with Tarot Round Table.
From the way that Lin Yuan chose to leave one of his experts with her during such a crucial time, the Moon Empress could tell how much he cared about her. This affection could not be communicated through words. It could only be expressed through actions!
At first, the Moon Empress did not intend to head to the Resting Moon Palace as she feared she would inconvenience Lin Yuan. But now, she decided to take this abyss demon with her as she headed to the Resting Moon Palace’s entrance.
This way, she and this abyss demon could step in immediately if any issues erupted!
Now that she had taken control of six moons, the power that Forage Moon afforded her already went beyond the birth-horoscope level, allowing her to take on spirit-fire experts. She was not being overconfident about her powers as the Spacetime Elder had made this judgment.
Once Lin Yuan arrived at the Resting Moon Palace’s entrance, he released Eternal Source and sauntered into the Resting Moon Palace.
The Leaning Moon Mountain was his home, and the Resting Moon Palace was a part of it. There was no need for him to be mindful of others in his own home!
The Tarot experts already saw themselves as invaluable assets and had demanded to stay in Resting Moon Palace.
However, Lin Yuan never thought much of these Tarot experts.
Once he entered the palace, a shrill voice echoed. “Are the Moon Empress’ servants so ill-mannered? How dare you enter the residence of a valued guest without permission?”
Lin Yuan was so enraged that he started to laugh.
Lin Yuan did not get angry often, and he was only angered to the point of laughing a few times a year!
“The mistress is the one who decides if the guest is a valued one. This is the first time I’m hearing a guest make that determination on their own! Didn’t you insist on staying in the Resting Moon Palace because you were waiting for me?”
If Eternal Source revealed such overwhelming power from the get-go, the Tarot experts would change their plans out of fear of Eternal Source’s power.
After Lin Yuan was done speaking, the female voice did not respond. However, an elderly male voice wafted out from the Resting Moon Palace’s inner palace. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t the Radiance Federation see Tarot Round Table as valued guests?
“The Radiance Federation couldn’t stop us even if we wanted to enter your imperial court! The Radiance Federation should take it as a sign of our greatest respect that we’re willing to stay in the Resting Moon Palace!
“Since you’re here, come in. The Resting Moon Palace is a rather pretty place, but the beverages are lacking. The Moon Empress sure doesn’t know how to treat her guests. She didn’t even serve us the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar!”
The elderly man’s voice was relaxed and casual. It was a stark contrast from the girl’s piercing screech.
But when Lin Yuan heard this elderly man’s voice, the deadly aura in his gaze intensified.
The imperial court was prohibited territory to any federation. No one could enter it without an invitation!
Despite regarding the Vast Sea Labyrinth as their most treasured collaborator, the Radiance Federation had only arranged to meet with their three rulers in a small palace situated away from the central area. They had not been allowed to set foot into the main palace!
Yet, this old man not only had the gall to say he wanted to enter the Radiance Federation’s imperial court but also said there was nothing that the federation could do to stop him!
Evidently, he looked down on the Radiance Federation and saw them as insignificant bugs!
If Lin Yuan had the capabilities to restrain such arrogant characters, he could dismiss them as having bad attitudes. But if Lin Yuan was unable to restrain this person and the Radiance Federation did something that displeased Tarot Round Table, their next step would be to threaten the Radiance Federation’s imperial court!
Lin Yuan would not brush off this elderly man’s words as empty threats, as Tarot Round Table had a reputation for such behavior!
Their forceful entry into the Resting Moon Palace was a warning to the Radiance Federation.
Since Tarot Round Table was harboring such thoughts, they were nothing more than a ticking bomb in relation to the Radiance Federation.
The Moon Empress had made a sacrifice for the Radiance Federation’s sake by allowing them to stay in the Resting Moon Palace. Yet, they complained about the beverages she served and wanted to drink the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
Lin Yuan could not be bothered to waste words on these people. He did not respond to what the elderly man had said and asked, “I heard that you have come into possession of a significant amount of information about me. Just what is this information about?
“Since we’re here to negotiate, let’s get right to it! The Radiance Federation established the Major Federation Union intending to save all humans. We have been continuously sharing our resources with others and with no selfish intent. I’m sure Tarot Round Table has learned of this during your investigations!
“I don’t care what you’re trying to achieve by occupying the leadership positions in the Major Federation Union, but regardless, you should tell the Radiance Federation about Tower Canon to make our own preparations!”
Lin Yuan did not want to continue speaking with Tarot Round Table.
If they could not help Lin Yuan understand Tower Canon, he would have already seized control of and begun grilling this ticking time bomb!
Lin Yuan would not need to be present to interrogate Tarot Round Table as Eternal Source could do it in his place.
With the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom, Lin Yuan could ensure he would receive the answers he sought. But doing so would only waste more time.
Since the Tarot experts believed that he was in the palm of their hands, they would not have set up any defenses against him.
Thus, it would probably be easy for him to obtain information from them!
Lin Yuan’s lips twitched.
Not only were Tarot Round Table scheming after authority in the Major Federation Union, but they were also trying to control him and turn him into their puppet!
“Since you want me to serve you, I need to ask two questions. Once you answer them, it will give me a proper understanding of Tarot Round Table.”
The elderly man spoke again. “It looks like you’re easier to communicate with than we expected! Ask away. As long as it doesn’t encroach into Tarot Round Table’s key secrets, we can share some information with you!”
Lin Yuan immediately said, “I have already asked my first question, but you didn’t answer me. I am curious to find out what secrets you know about me and what you plan on using to threaten m—”
A sharp voice interrupted Lin Yuan. “You don’t deserve to be threatened by us! We are well aware of your sister’s situation. You are also on good terms with Chef Supreme’s daughter and son-in-law.
“You were most likely only able to increase your power so quickly because of your sacred source lifeform. Your power only skyrocketed when you left the Radiance Federation for the Startling Lines Continent.
“Due to an unknown reason, you managed to obtain the mermaid mermaid bloodline and absorbed it into your body. You used your mermaid bloodline to convince the Freedom Federation’s Goddess of Mercy to collude with you.
“Your Path Protector has deep ties with the Heavenly Family Cottage and used secret means to kill Fifth Page Truth in the Startling Lines Continent. This is just a portion of what we know about you. You have no secrets we don’t know about!”
Lin Yuan relaxed. He had been concerned about what secrets Tarot Round Table knew about him!
It was true that their investigation into him had been very thorough. They had found out about many key points in his journey of growth.
Unfortunately, they still had no clue about his biggest secret, Morbius. It seemed he had done a good job of hiding it!
Although it seemed as though they had investigated him fully, they had only scratched the surface.
This caused Lin Yuan to lose interest in the information that Tarot Round Table knew about Tower Canon.
Furthermore, they had crossed his line.
Tarot Round Table first mentioned Chu Ci, Uncle Li, and Auntie Zhang because they wanted to hit his weaknesses. They wanted him to know that if he did not agree to their request, Chu Ci, Uncle Li, and Auntie Zhang would end up suffering or losing their lives.
After asking his first question, Lin Yuan suppressed his angry urges and asked, “What do you know about Tower Canon? I don’t think you need to leverage any information you know about Tower Canon. The humans have already done all we can to defend against Tower Canon. There isn’t anything else we can do to improve.”
Lin Yuan’s words caused the inner palace to fall silent momentarily.
The shrill female voice that Lin Yuan first heard when he entered screeched. “Tarot Round Table spent a lot of effort investigating Tower Canon. If the Radiance Federation wants to know about them, you must pay us!
“The Radiance Federation will not be getting any information from us so easily! Even if we are given spots in the Major Federation Union’s leadership, the Major Federation Union will have to purchase or trade information from us!
“We sent our people posing as the Eight Pages to infiltrate Tower Canon. You can’t even imagine the full extent of what we know!”
Tarot Round Table finally broke the last strand of interest that was keeping Lin Yuan involved in this conversation.
Tarot Round Table had sent someone posing as the Eight Pages to infiltrate Tower Canon? This meant they would have the same status as Eighth Page Apoptosis. Hence, they probably only knew as much as he did.
Moreover, Lin Yuan could already guess which of the Eight Pages had been moles.
Eighth Page Apoptosis had fled with Seventh Page War and Third Page Eternal Sin.
Seventh Page War was a unique plant-type fey. If she had joined Tower Canon to find out more about their secrets, she would not have left to conquer the Dark Continent!
This meant that Tarot Round Table’s mole had to be Third Page Eternal Sin!
By now, Lin Yuan had arrived at the inner palace. As he swept his gaze across the 30-odd people, it eventually landed on a familiar figure.
The Spirit Mother was a member of Tarot Round Table. Lin Yuan had not seen this coming at all!
Based on Eighth Page Apoptosis’ description of Third Page Eternal Sin, the short-haired girl looking at him with amused interest had to be Third Page Eternal Sin!
Lin Yuan did not have the best impression of the Spirit Mother, but it was not bad either.
He asked the Spirit Mother, “Your Excellency, instead of staying with the Spirit Mother Federation and helping with its migration, you’re here trying to grab one of the Major Federation Union’s leadership positions. Normally, your status as a Class 5 Creation Master would have already guaranteed you a seat.
“Your Excellency, I would like to ask if you’re representing Tarot Round Table and residing in the Resting Moon Palace signifies that your profit will be tied to that of Tarot Round Table from now on?”
The Spirit Mother had not expected to be called out by Lin Yuan or to even be remembered by him.
The Spirit Mother had no idea what Lin Yuan looked like, but he had been astounded by Lin Yuan’s growth journey.
Lin Yuan’s growth journey reminded him of Bu Po.
Lin Yuan had asked the Spirit Mother this because he had previously spoken with the Spirit Mother and knew he cared for the Spirit Mother Federation.
Lin Yuan also wanted to give the Spirit Mother a chance. But it seemed that the Spirit Mother could not understand his meaning and looked at him curiously.
“I am indeed the Spirit Mother, but I am also a Tarot member. Naturally, I will stick by them no matter what happens. Since you know who I am, let me introduce you to the rest!”
Lin Yuan snarled coldly, “There’s no need for introductions. I’m not interested in getting to know a bunch of people who are headed for death!”
The moment he spoke, a familiar aura that even terrified Eternal Source burst out from Lin Yuan.
Previously, Lin Yuan was unable to fully control his aura when he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus. But now, he could completely control his aura and restrict it to the inner palace!
