The old lady thought, I didn’t do anything! I hope Mystic Moon doesn’t blame Lin Yuan’s injuries on me! If he does, I’ll become the person that made the Radiant Moon Palace’s Young Lord bleed! Not even sacrificing the entire Cage of Brahma Insects will be able to make up for such a sin.
The Mother of Bloodbath was also astonished by the blood flowing out of Lin Yuan’s mouth and nose.
Ever since the Mother of Bloodbath had become Lin Yuan’s Path Protector, he had remained in the pink of health.
Moreover, Lin Yuan’s body had been cleansed by the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, and his genetic model had also been optimized.
Why was the healthy Lin Yuan suddenly bleeding?
The Mother of Bloodbath had not sensed anyone making a move on Lin Yuan.
Although the silver-haired old woman was a thearch-class expert and it was possible for the Mother of Bloodbath to have missed an attack on Lin Yuan, the Mother of Bloodbath had noticed the old woman’s alarmed gaze at the sight of Lin Yuan bleeding.
The Mother of Bloodbath hurriedly circulated its Blood Law to stem the flow of Lin Yuan’s blood and allowed the spirit qi inside Lin Yuan’s body to return to regular flow.
Lin Yuan’s blood that had flowed out also did not go to waste as the Mother of Bloodbath used the Blood Law to return the blood into Lin Yuan’s body.
Mystic Moon rushed to Lin Yuan’s side to check on him when he noticed Lin Yuan bleeding.
After he confirmed that nothing serious had happened to Lin Yuan, Mystic Moon did not ask any more questions. Instead, he stood beside Lin Yuan protectively.
Mystic Moon sensed that Lin Yuan was circulating his spiritual power toward the Source Sand underground and realized that this was the reason Lin Yuan had been injured.
Since Lin Yuan was Mystic Moon’s Young Lord, Mystic Moon would continue to protect Lin Yuan throughout any decision that Lin Yuan made.
Nonetheless, Mystic Moon had always been curious about Lin Yuan.
Mystic Moon’s sacred source lifeform was one of the three sacred source lifeforms that had built Star Web. Hence, Mystic Moon could find out anything about Lin Yuan from Star Web if he wanted to.
However, Mystic Moon had never done so. Instead, he had used his sacred source lifeform to lock all the information about Lin Yuan on Star Web so that not even the other members of royalty would be able to obtain information about Lin Yuan without Mystic Moon’s permission.
Although Mystic Moon had locked Lin Yuan’s information and had not looked at the information himself, he had been paying attention to all of Lin Yuan’s news on Star Web and was cheering him on just like everyone else.
Once he had ascertained that Lin Yuan was fine, Mystic Moon looked at the Kill Food Worm.
It was no secret that Black had the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly.
If Lin Yuan summoned the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, he would be able to turn the Kill Food Worm into his loyal servant immediately.
The Kill Food Worm would want to serve the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly and swear its loyalty of its own accord.
This was why Mystic Moon had not injured the old woman more seriously after deciding to give the Kill Food Worm to Lin Yuan.
Endless Summer was done absorbing the Creation World Ley Line, and it walked through the air toward Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan congratulated Endless Summer with a solemn expression.
Instead of a sea of spirit qi crystals being produced in the Spirit Lock spatial zone like what he had anticipated, a golden pearl had appeared.
The aura of the Creation World Ley Line seeped out of the golden pearl.
Lin Yuan took a closer look and realized that there was a small golden spine in the golden pearl.
He sighed and thought, It looks like I expected too much.
After a Myth Breed fey finished experiencing the World Cleansing, a large amount of pure spirit qi would descend along with the World Grace.
It was expected that the pure spirit qi would turn into spirit qi crystals after being absorbed by the Pure Land of Bliss.
However, the Creation World Ley Line was different from the World Grace as it contained energy that could evolve worlds instead of pure spirit qi.
This energy teemed with a life of its own and would not decrease after it was used up. Instead, it would evolve after being nourished by world power.
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that there had not been any Creation World Ley Line when the Dark Death Law on the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s skirt evolved to the Dark Death Law.
There also had not been any World Cleansing when the Vicious Poison Law evolved from Myth II to Myth III.
Although the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s skirt could evolve the completed laws in Law Crystals into law worlds, it would not receive the rewards that came with the World Cleansing and Trial of World Creation.
Lin Yuan wondered what changes would happen to the Dark Death World if his golden pearl was buried within it.
He decided to summon the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen from the depths of his soul later on and let it take a look at the golden pearl to see if it had anything to say about it.
Endless Summer bowed deeply to Lin Yuan and stayed in that position for some time before turning its head to thank Mystic Moon.
Mystic Moon waved his hand dismissively and said, “There’s no need to thank me. I wouldn’t be here if not for the Young Lord, much less help you.”
Endless Summer still thanked Mystic Moon. However, it did not thank Lin Yuan because those words were insufficient to cover the debt of gratitude that it owed Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled brightly and said to Endless Summer, “You’ve finally evolved to Creation Breed.”
Endless Summer looked ashamed as it felt that it had used too many of Lin Yuan’s Law Crystals. The breakthrough it had been able to experience was a result of every Law Crystal that Lin Yuan had given it.
Lin Yuan gave Endless Summer a rainbow ball of light.
Endless Summer immediately realized what this rainbow ball of light was.
Before Endless Summer could react, Lin Yuan said, “Since you’ve evolved to Creation Breed, you should be able to contract sacred source lifeforms now.”
A look of disbelief came over Endless Summer.
Nonetheless, it was unsurprising that Lin Yuan was now giving it a sacred source lifeform after he had given it so many Law Crystals.
Endless Summer knew that this was a product of Lin Yuan’s affection.
Endless Summer, who had already decided to dedicate its life to protecting Lin Yuan, did not try to reject Lin Yuan and immediately received the sacred source lifeform.
As the direct descendant of a veteran faction, Zheng Kaiyuan was no fool.
Moreover, he had spent many years by Miao Qi’s side and had received support and education from a top faction.
As such, his horizons were broader than that of other disciples of veteran factions.
He quickly assessed the situation and guessed that Miao Qi must have met with some trouble in the Midnight Palace.
She could have offended someone higher up on the pecking order than her like Miao Zhuo and had been chased out of the Midnight Palace.
If she had left of her own accord, she would have informed Zheng Kaiyuan.
However, Zheng Kaiyuan could not come up with a plausible scenario of what exactly Miao Qi could have done.
The seats in the center of the hall were positioned close to each other.
Zheng Kaiyuan was in Connected Beast Park’s seating area, and next to him was Four Beasts Territory’s seating area.
If this was any other time, he would not have dared to ask the head of the Fang family from Four Beasts Territory for information.
Zheng Kaiyuan might be in Connected Beast Park’s seating area, but he was acutely conscious of the fact that his surname was not Miao.
But he remembered that he might be in the same friend group as the Moon Empress, Chief Guard Ye, the Bamboo Monarch, and Chef Supreme’s disciples and managed to muster up the courage to walk over to the head of the Fang family.
He coughed and asked, “Senior Fang, where… Where is my Master Miao Qi?”
Zheng Kaiyuan made sure to include the word Master to emphasize his identity.
Fang Zhan could not help but be curious when he saw the hesitant young man slowly walking over to him.
Since Zheng Kaiyuan kept his body angled away from Fang Zhan, the latter could not see the Zheng family icon on Zheng Kaiyuan’s collar.
Additionally, the spirit qi clothes Zheng Kaiyuan was wearing did not look like the Hundred Beasts New Sprouts attire that Miao Zhuo had been wearing.
Thus, Fang Zhan did not immediately recognize Zheng Kaiyuan.
But when Fang Zhan heard Zheng Kaiyuan announce his identity, his gaze shifted.
Fang Zhan had just heard from his grandson Fang He about the commotion that Miao Zhuo had caused outside the Midnight Palace. This incident made Fan Zhan re-evaluate his decision to collaborate with Connected Beast Park.
He was also irked by Connected Beast Park because his grandson had almost been dragged into shouldering the blame and could have ended up being punished by Zuo Ming as well. Thankfully, Chief Guard Ye’s disciple had been gracious.
Connected Beast Park’s senior and junior both liked to start trouble.
Just as Fang Zhan was about to start berating Zheng Kaiyuan, Fang He bowed and whispered into his ear.
Fang He’s words made the way that he looked at Zheng Kaiyuan change, and his tone also became more polite.
“Your Master Miao Qi had worn spirit qi clothes that bore similar designs to Lord Bamboo Monarch’s coronation patterns. This is a form of disrespect to Lord Bamboo Monarch, and she was chased out of the Guard Ye Banquet by You Zhe.”
Fang Zhan did not go into details because he knew that saying too much could lead to one’s downfall.
This matter concerned Lord Bamboo Monarch’s personal life, and any flippant comment would be seen as an insult.
After carefully studying Zheng Kaiyuan for a while, Fan Zhan could not see any impressive traits.
If he was impressive in any way, he would have participated in the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, or Martial Arts Stage.
Fang Zhan could not see one reason why this disciple of a veteran faction had the right to be part of that special friend group.
Zheng Kaiyuan was stupefied by Fang Zhan’s words and felt the air around him grow cold.
Not only had Miao Zhuo offended the Moon Empress’ disciple and had been kicked out after having his soul injured by Chief Guard Ye’s disciple, but even Miao Qi had disrespected Lord Bamboo Monarch because of the design of her spirit qi clothes.
It was likely that Miao Qi’s position in the Miao family would plunge after this incident, and when that happened, Zheng Kaiyuan would no longer be able to enjoy his current lifestyle.
This thought made Zheng Kaiyuan’s legs go numb, and his body started to sway unsteadily.
At this moment, Fang Zhan said, “I heard that you’re connected to the members of royalty’s disciples. You can ask them for mercy on your Master’s behalf. Old Miao must be despairing now trying to come up with a way to express his apologies to the members of royalty.”
Zheng Kaiyuan froze, and his legs refilled with strength.
Fang Zhan’s words had given him new hope.
He had been shocked when Lin Yuan called him over and did not understand why Lin Yuan was being so friendly with him.
After joining the group, he had not dared to speak to the other disciples of royalty, and he was not naive enough to believe that his pleas of mercy would be effective.
However, everyone had seen the way that Lin Yuan had treated Zheng Kaiyuan. Now, Lin Yuan had been publicly declared as the Moon Empress’ disciple.
Zheng Kaiyuan could bank on Lin Yuan’s status to save himself from punishment when he returned home. He might even be able to meet with his grandfather, who never wanted to meet with him, and climb to an even higher position in the Miao family.
Even without Miao Qi, he would be able to thrive.
Lin Yuan had even exchanged contact details with Zheng Kaiyuan, and he would be able to help the Miao family to get in contact with Lin Yuan.
As he looked at the Miao family crest on the back of the chair in front of him, he felt wild ambition surge within him.
His ambition surpassed his fear, and Zheng Kaiyuan planted himself down on the Miao family’s seat.
Lin Yuan noticed what Zheng Kaiyuan did and gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair.
“Zheng Kaiyuan sure is a great bait.”
Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to lure Zheng Kaiyuan, but it seemed like he did not need to worry anymore. All Lin Yuan needed to do now was throw his net, and Zheng Kaiyuan would be the bait that lured the Miao family in.
The Guard Ye Banquet was in full swing, but Lin Yuan did not like such grand events.
Lin Yuan fixed his gaze on the complete Law Crystals lining the stage as he comforted the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen in the depths of his soul.
“The Law Crystals on stage aren’t ours. You can’t absorb them.”
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen became disappointed.
Lin Yuan hurriedly said, “Don’t you already have many Law Source Crystals? You haven’t even finished absorbing those! If my memory serves, you prefer to absorb Law Source Crystals over Law Crystals.”
