Chapter 1316: Since We Pride Ourselves on Martial, Why Not Seek Revenge?
Gu En sternly hissed at Shark Awn. “You’re the one who disregarded the agreement. If you cared about the agreement, why would you enter the Radiance Federation’s territory of the sea and attack mercilessly?
“By mentioning the agreement made by the royalty of the Radiance Federation and the sea clans now, are you treating it as a joke? Moreover, you just tried to kill disciples of the members of royalty. What right do you have to bring up status now?”
Lin Yuan looked at the Mother of Bloodbath, who was painfully struggling to trigger its Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. He swept his fishtail and ordered White Speak, “White Speak, don’t waste time talking to her. Just kill her.”
Lin Yuan glared sharply at Shark Awn. Just as White Speak was about to end Shark Awn’s life, Lin Yuan sneered. “This doesn’t end with your death. If the Mother of Bloodbath dies today, I will do everything in my power to ensure that the entire First Emperor Shark Clan dies along with it. Even if the Mother of Bloodbath lives, the First Emperor Shark Clan must pay the price for spilling its blood. From today onward, the First Emperor Shark Clan has made an eternal enemy of me.”
Lin Yuan’s voice was resounding and brimming with resolution.
With the final shreds of Shark Awn’s consciousness, its soul shivered. Before it could form a single thought, it drew its final breath.
Meanwhile, the rest of the people present started to take in Lin Yuan’s words.
Liu Jie, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, and White Speak were on the same side as Lin Yuan and always deferred to him as the decision-maker. As such, it was their goal to achieve his will.
Gu En knew that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress’ disciple and understood that everything he said carried unimaginable power.
It did not matter if the Moon Empress would help Lin Yuan destroy the First Emperor Shark Clan after the heavily injured spider-species fey died or if Lin Yuan even had the means to bring down the First Emperor Shark Clan. Regardless, the grudge between Lin Yuan and the First Emperor Shark Clan had been formed.
…
Lin Yuan had said that even if the spider-species fey lived, he was still ready to grind the First Emperor Shark Clan to dust.
He had won the Martial Arts Stage and obtained an Order of Radiant Light. Given the amount of power he had at his young age, it was clear that he was even more talented than Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He.
With this talent, it would only take him two years before he pulled ahead of Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He. As long as no accident befell him in the next two years, it was all but certain that he would become a Radiance Envoy.
As for now, Lin Yuan’s power could not represent the entire Radiance Federation. It could only represent the Radiant Moon Palace at the very most. But once he became a Radiance Envoy, his words would represent the will of the entire Radiance Federation.

It was possible that what Lin Yuan said today would lead to a war between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.
While Gu En was mulling, An He said, “I will make sure to inform my Master of how a member of the First Emperor Shark Clan tried to kill us today. Since the First Emperor Shark Clan openly tried to break the agreement, the sea clans have to pay for this.”
Gu En clapped a hand over his mouth. Just from the words they said, the difference between An He and Lin Yuan was blatant.
An He always mentioned Long Lamplight and the entire Radiance Federation, whereas Lin Yuan only included himself. Clearly, Lin Yuan was much more independent than An He
Whenever An He met with any trouble, he preferred to seek help from Long Lamplight. On the other hand, Lin Yuan handled all his problems on his own, even if he had to face the entire First Emperor Shark Clan.
But this difference in the way they spoke about the same matter made it clear who had better character. It seemed that An He not only lost to Lin Yuan in power but also in character.
Silver Umber Black had been delighted to witness Shark Awn’s death as it meant that Silver Umber Black no longer had to worry about being hunted down and killed.
However, Shark Awn’s death also meant that Silver Umber Black needed to testify on behalf of the Radiance Federation in order for the Radiance Federation to spare its life.
But if it testified that Shark Awn had broken the agreement, it was not only the First Emperor Shark Clan that would have to suffer the consequences but all the sea clans would be branded with the accusation of being treacherous.
Three disciples of members of royalty had almost died during the fight with Shark Awn. There was no way that the Radiance Federation would take this lying down.
It seemed that right after escaping the scythe that had been hanging over its head for some time, Silver Umber Black would be forced to betray the sea clans. Nonetheless, it would be more beneficial for it to testify on behalf of the Radiance Federation.
Regardless of whether testifying on behalf of the Radiance Federation was right or wrong or how much Silver Umber Black would gain from it, the sea clans’ standpoint would definitely lead to the conclusion that it was in the wrong.

As such, Silver Umber Black knew that if it wanted to continue developing or living, it would need to cling to the Radiance Federation with all its might. If it failed, the First Emperor Shark Clan would be the first to knock on Silver Umber Black’s door to force it to give up its life to avenge Shark Awn.

Silver Umber Black thought about the treatment and ostracization it suffered at the hands of the First Emperor Cutlass Clan before thinking about the decaying state of the sea clans’ internal affairs.
Silver Umber Black could not help but clench its fists. A daring and even crazy idea formed in its head.
The vast sea was filled with Sea Emperors, and there had to be at least a thousand within the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. There were much more Sea Emperors in the sea than there were members of royalty in the terrestrial federations. This was the sea’s secret weapon.
However, the sea clans had never banded together to face an issue together. If the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors had teamed up, they would not have had to sign the agreement with the Radiance Federation.
Since the sea clans were splintering from the inside out, the Sea Emperors could rise and carry the sea clans to a new age of prosperity.
This idea became tangible in Silver Umber Black’s mind and took root.
Lin Yuan had not considered the repercussions or his identity as the Moon Empress’ disciple when he said what he said. The words had come purely from his heart.
From the moment that the black thorns turned the Mother of Bloodbath into a porcupine, a vicious aura rose from Lin Yuan like it never had before.
The battle with Shark Awn allowed Lin Yuan to understand that when a person reached a certain level of strength, they would be able to break any rule or agreement.
This was the reason Shark Awn had the gall to ignore and break the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.
Lin Yuan now understood the true meaning behind ‘priding oneself by martial’.
Since this world prided itself on martial, there was nothing wrong with him seeking revenge without holding back.
At that moment, Lin Yuan’s perspective shifted.
White Speak kept Lin Yuan’s order in mind. After killing Shark Awn, it hurriedly carried Shark Awn’s body back to Lin Yuan.
