Connected Beast Park could not lay a hand on the Sea Bliss Clan with the Five Thearch Soldiers around.
Hence, the Sea Bliss Clan was still able to receive an invitation to appear at the Guard Ye Banquet as one of the veteran factions.
Miao Zhuo looked at Qi Haitao and said coldly, “Instead of holing up in your islands, is the Sea Bliss Clan here at the Guard Ye Banquet to try to strike up some collaborations for Creation Master resources?”
Although Miao Zhuo’s expression was hard, his tone was level, and he also retracted some of his malicious aura while he spoke.
But everyone present could sense his menacing intention from his level tone and knew that the commotion had turned into a fight from the moment the young man mentioned Qi Haitao.
When he saw Miao Zhuo’s reaction, a satisfied gleam appeared in Lin Yuan’s eye.
Now, after being incited by Lin Yuan, Qi Haitao had no choice but to perform on stage.
Lin Yuan did not do this to force the Sea Bliss Clan to enter the fight to exert pressure on the Miao family because the Sea Bliss Clan was incapable of doing so.
He did this to trigger the fight and to cause the Sea Bliss Clan to feel more pressure from Connected Beast Park.
The stronger the pressure that the Sea Bliss Clan felt, the more pressed they would be to work with Sky City and the more urged they would be to inject resources into the nurturing of the Angelfish of Bliss.
This would enable Lin Yuan’s action of buying up all the Aurora pollen in the market to leave a bigger impact.
A spark of courage flickered to life in Sun Ningxiang while she listened to the young man speak.
This led to her gaining control of her waning charisma.
She had felt that Lin Yuan seemed familiar when she saw him outside the Midnight Palace. Later, she realized that he was the young man she had seen at the Allstar Match.
However, doubt crept up in Sun Ningxiang.
She had seen the Allstar Match, but it was not enough for her to gain a sense of familiarity from him.
She had definitely met this young man by the name of Lin Yuan before.
When she heard what Lin Yuan had said, Sun Ningxiang suddenly felt that Lin Yuan’s voice was extremely similar to that of the young man from Sky City.
Their physiques were also very similar.
While Sun Ningxiang studied Lin Yuan’s chin, she started to form a mental image.
She tried to imagine that strange mask on Lin Yuan’s face and compared her memory of the young man from Sky City with this new image of a mask-wearing Lin Yuan.
Sun Ningxiang’s eyes lit up because both were a perfect copy of each other.
Although doppelgangers existed, it was absurd for two people to have the same appearance and the same voice.
Sky City had clashed with Connected Beast Park because of Condense Fairy Orchard, and Connected Beast Park had tried to make a move on Sky City several times already.
If this young man was really a member of Sky City, it made sense why he would be targeting Connected Beast Park.
Sun Ningxiang was an expert at analyzing speech. The first time she was at Sky City and was negotiating a deal, she noticed animosity between the mask-wearing youth and the Sea Bliss Clan.
It would explain why Lin Yuan was pulling Qi Haitao into the fray now.
One point of contention could be a coincidence, but if every point of contention and evidence pointed in the same direction, that direction was highly likely to be accurate.
Sun Ningxiang instinctively took a step toward Lin Yuan and calmed herself to observe and decide her next move.
Qi Haitao knew that he was in trouble now that Miao Zhuo had called him out.
Since the Sea Bliss Clan had taken the contract to the Spirit Guards to request compensation from Connected Beast Park, it was inevitable that they were burning the bridge between them and Connected Beast Park.
Given that there was no way out and it would be useless to pretend to be meek because it would only result in humiliation, Qi Haitao steeled himself and looked Miao Zhuo in the eye as he said, “The Sea Bliss Clan has always conducted business by the book. It was Connected Beast Park that violated the contract first. All we want is some compensation. As for Creation Master resources, we have no need for them. After partnering with Sky City, we’re filled to the brim with Creation Master resources. But you were right about collaborations. After increasing our stock of Angelfish of Bliss, we’ll start holding auctions. If any faction wants to work with us and establish trade deals, they can approach me directly.”
Qi Haitao spoke loudly and was basically advertising for the Sea Bliss Clan in an attempt to pull in a partnership.
Connected Beast Park was pressuring the Sea Bliss Clan, and many factions that they had worked with in the past had pulled away from them after being warned by Connected Beast Park.
They had all but cut off all communication with the Sea Bliss Clan.
Qi Haitao would have been very conscious of this serious loss in connections in the past.
But even though there were no factions who were currently on friendly terms with the Sea Bliss Clan, as long as the Sea Bliss Clan could maintain their collaboration with Sky City, their expansion could proceed as normal.
After all, the Sea Bliss Clan had dominated the market on Angelfish of Bliss.
Although spiritual-type feys were rare, there were many of them in the Radiance Federation.
If one had spiritual-type feys, the fish coats of Angelfish of Bliss would be required.
Thus, now that they had settled their Creation Master resource issues, the Sea Bliss Clan did not need to be afraid of Connected Beast Park’s pressure of their loss in connections.
Naturally, Qi Haitao’s words added fuel to the fire of Miao Zhuo’s rage.
Miao Zhuo’s gaze snapped to Lin Yuan, and he looked Lin Yuan and Qi Haitao over before saying, “There’s still some time before the Martial Stage begins. How about the three of us have some fun at the combat ground there according to the rules of the Martial Stage?”
The gawkers knew that Miao Zhuo could no longer hold himself back and was making a move.
The Martial Stage’s rules stated that as long as the opponent was not killed, any attacks could be launched until the other party admitted defeat.
When the Martial Stage officially began, there would definitely be some experts who would try to control themselves and not cause their opponent serious injuries while still gaining the upper hand for themselves.
If they agreed to Miao Zhuo’s proposition, he would definitely fight as savagely as he could.
