Chapter 3041  Conflict and Lan Ling!

Lin Yuan's words made Qin Yu's heart skip a beat. She realized that her thoughts were too simple.

The Wave Heavenly River was not far from the Scarlet Territory. The Ancient Water Pythons that resided there had always seemed very courteous to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu did not recognize the member of the Ancient Water Pythons standing beside He Duo, which could only mean that he was not a core management member of the Ancient Water Pythons. However, his strength had reached the high-grade Holy Spirit level.

It would be understandable if the Ancient Water Pythons had a backer. However, if they were to collaborate with a faction led by a Bloodian Queen and rely on their power to get those with king bloodlines to carry out deeds, then the internal affairs of the Scarlet Territory would truly be rotten.

Lin Yuan's first half sentence clearly indicated he did not want to deal with the matter now. If Lin Yuan didn't want to get involved, then Qin Yu wouldn't intervene either.

However, when Lin Yuan said that he would help her resolve this matter after they left the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, Qin Yu was delighted. At the same time, she felt a sense of dependence on Lin Yuan.

There were three reasons why Lin Yuan wanted to solve the business chain behind the Ancient Water Pythons.

The most fundamental reason was that Lin Yuan hated human trafficking. He held the values of a modern person with a sense of judgment regarding right and wrong. Trafficking would only bring misfortune even in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The second reason was that Lin Yuan had to take care of Qin Yu's emotions. Ever since Lin Yuan had taken Qin Yu under his wing, she had never done anything that displeased Lin Yuan. On the contrary, Qin Yu had been consistently handling the tasks entrusted to her by Lin Yuan very well. Hence, Lin Yuan completely acknowledged and regarded her as a member of Sky City. Since Qin Yu was helping Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan naturally would not mistreat her.

The third reason was that Lin Yuan intended to control the Scarlet Territory. As the saying went, 'A king would never allow others to steal his profits without putting up resistance."

This faction was deliberately using the Bloodians as a tool to accumulate wealth and went against Lin Yuan's belief. Therefore, whether it was the Ancient Water Pythons or the other factions behind them, Lin Yuan would find them.

If this faction was willing to submit to Lin Yuan, he would arrange a new livelihood for the faction. However, if they were unwilling to do so, Lin Yuan did not mind getting rid of them.

In any case, from Lin Yuan's perspective, he would definitely not engage in human trafficking-related businesses.

Over the course of his journey, Lin Yuan had indeed grown tougher in heart, especially when dealing with many matters. However, Lin Yuan's bottom line had never changed.

"Lord Lin Yuan, thank you for your help. If you hadn't asked me to deal with this faction myself, it would have been very difficult for me to do so."

Qin Yu wasn't trying to curry favor with Lin Yuan, but the latter's reminder had prompted her to realize the situation. As opposed to the collaboration between the Ancient Water Pythons and a certain Bloodian Queen, Qin Yu hoped that a faction other than the Bloodians was plotting something.

Lin Yuan did not intend to care about this matter now but was not in a hurry to leave. He was prepared to see what choice the Bloodian clans involved in this dispute would make.

It was clear that the leader of the Dolores clan had been swayed by the Ancient Water Pythons. However, she had yet to make a decision. Nevertheless, for a member of the Ancient Water Pythons to dare to treat He Duo in such a manner meant he must have been thoroughly prepared.

He Duo glared at him and told the Bloodians questioning her, "Is it so important whether or not our Dolores clan is involved? Have your clans never done anything to harm the Bloodians?

"Now that you've run into me, it's your misfortune. I'll give you a chance to join the Dolores clan. From now on, your three clans will benefit greatly. Your three clans haven't seen much development over these past few centuries. Don't you desire a chance to change the status quo?"

He Duo's words were skillfully crafted. Although her intent was to control the three clans, when spoken by He Duo, it sounded like she wanted to support them.

One of the Bloodian clan leaders was obviously persuaded. However, the two other leaders shouted angrily, "He Duo, don't make it sound so pleasant. This person beside you has already said he's controlling our clans to obtain the Bloodian population and then sell them. Don't even think about using my species as a cradle for your human trafficking!"

Among all the leaders, this one understood the situation. He Duo and her companions weren't giving them a chance. Boarding this pirate ship would turn their clan into a breeding ground for Bloodian populations, depleting their foundation.

Pure-blooded Bloodians wouldn't casually give their first bite. Every time they did, they were extremely cautious. Casually giving the first bite affected their bloodline. To put it bluntly, giving the first bite meant that the pure-blooded Bloodian had injected their bloodline into the bodies of other lifeforms to help them transform into pure-blooded Bloodians.

When He Duo tried to persuade the three Bloodian leaders, Hen Tao revealed a displeased expression. "He Duo, why are you talking so much nonsense? They will eventually find out your secret anyway. Lord Lan Ling has promised that if you develop this industry well, he will help you try to break through to the queen bloodline.

"The organization chose you because of your bloodline talent. Don't deceive yourself now. You know what happens if you're rejected by the organization. You've been secretly trafficking Bloodians. If the news gets out, the other Bloodian clans led by Bloodian Queens won't let you off either!"

Upon hearing that, He Duo trembled in anger, but there was nothing she could do. If He Duo had known this was the case, she would never have boarded this pirate ship.

He Duo forced herself to calm down and said coldly, "Hen Tao, you don't have to keep threatening me like this. I'm well aware of the assurances I was given when I joined the organization. You're only in charge of cooperating with me. Don't say such threatening words to me, or don't blame me for attacking you!"

Hen Tao shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He Duo was no match for him, and she knew this very well.

He Duo's words clearly sounded a little angry from embarrassment. At this time, Hen Tao did not continue to provoke her. If He Duo was provoked and did something irrational, he would be punished by the organization.

After speaking to Hen Tao, He Duo took a deep breath. Then, she started fighting with the Bloodians opposite her. He Duo needed to vent her anger, and the few Bloodians who were unwilling to submit happened to be targets for her anger. For a moment, the two groups fought.

Lin Yuan did not leave immediately. Instead, he observed their movements to find out some secret information.

The Ancient Water Pythons clearly didn't take these Bloodian clans seriously, making Lin Yuan think an organization was behind them. This organization hid behind the Ancient Water Pythons and most likely had nothing to do with the other Bloodian Queens.

They chose to cooperate with the Dolores clan because they had taken a fancy to He Duo's potential and intended to nurture the partner they could control into a genuine Bloodian Queen. Then, through He Duo's influence, they would further expand the Bloodian trafficking industry. What a good plan!

He was uncertain how truthful their promises were. If the Lan Ling mentioned by the Ancient Water Python wasn't a Grade 5 Creator, he wouldn't have the ability to help He Duo become a Bloodian Queen.

Lin Yuan, having assisted Qin Yu into becoming a Bloodian Queen, was well aware of the extensive resources required. Only someone indifferent to pure spirit qi, like Lin Yuan, would entertain such a deal.

Instead of grooming He Duo to become a Bloodian Queen, it made more sense for the organization to ally with an existing Bloodian Queen. The temptation for the Bloodian Queens was considerable. However, He Duo's acceptance of the offer indicated her belief in Lan Ling's capabilities.

Lin Yuan found this faction intriguing.

After He Duo engaged in battle, Hen Tao joined the fray. Bloodian clans with queen bloodlines were indeed stronger than those with king bloodlines. Additionally, the purer the bloodline of a Bloodian, the more formidable it appeared to other Bloodians.

The three leaders of the Bloodian clans facing He Duo and Hen Tao were in retreat—one was severely injured and had nearly lost the ability to fight. Yet, He Duo and Hen Tao did not relent.

Lin Yuan surmised their intent. They likely planned to eliminate the accompanying members of the three leaders who had ventured into the Land of Bloodian Ancestors and then coerce the leaders into submission. By recruiting the two Bloodian clans with king bloodlines, they would secure resources for an extended period. Thus, He Duo and Hen Tao executed their deadly maneuvers.

Now aware of the situation, Lin Yuan, seeing the Bloodians on the brink of death, turned to Qin Yu and instructed, "Why don't you save those three Bloodians now? Kill that member from the Ancient Water Pythons and discipline those two from the Dolores clan. However, ensure at least the leader of the Dolores clan survives. I need him to convey the message to his backers."

Qin Yu was infuriated by He Duo and Hen Tao's actions, gritting her teeth.

Lin Yuan intended to address the matter later. Had he not issued such an order, Qin Yu would have intervened herself. Initially, Qin Yu was puzzled by Lin Yuan's directive to kill the Ancient Water Pythons yet spare the Dolores clan.

Upon reflection, Qin Yu understood Lin Yuan's strategy. He aimed to provoke the faction behind the Ancient Water Pythons to target her, drawing them out. If she refrained from killing the Ancient Water Pythons' member, she wouldn't be able to justify it to the other three Bloodian clans. Moreover, He Duo would have to accurately report the situation.

Should that faction dare to confront Qin Yu, it would indicate their readiness and confidence in defeating her in a single strike.

As the intended prey, Qin Yu felt no anxiety. Now part of Lin Yuan's strategy, she trusted him to ensure her safety.

Qin Yu immediately unleashed her aura.

Hen Tao and He Duo, sensing Qin Yu's presence, were visibly alarmed. They had not anticipated encountering a Bloodian Queen so soon in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, particularly during their assault on other Bloodians.

Typically, a Bloodian Queen would ignore clan conflicts in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.

However, if the opposing Bloodians sought help and highlighted trafficking issues, a Bloodian Queen would not remain indifferent.

Unless the Bloodian Queen was complicit with the organization!

He Duo dismissed the likelihood of such a coincidence. If this organization had access to a Bloodian Queen, why would they expend so much effort on him?

Originally, the three Bloodians had despaired, aware they could be killed at any moment. Yet, they hadn't anticipated such a dramatic turn of events.

They called for help toward Qin Yu.

Hen Tao, using all his strength, prepared to execute them.

In the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, seeking external assistance was permissible, especially for Bloodian clans led by a Bloodian Queen.

As long as the deaths remained unreported, the two could easily downplay the incident.

However, the disparity between the two sides wasn't vast enough for a direct overpowering.

Qin Yu raised her hand and unleashed a blood whip, striking Hen Tao forcefully.

The blow nearly cost Hen Tao his life.

Following Qin Yu's lead, another blood whip lashed out, restraining the eight Bloodians present.

Feigning ignorance, Qin Yu inquired with a frown, "I heard mention of a trafficking situation involving Bloodians. Have you discovered anything? Recently, many Bloodian clans have disappeared, including members from our Elisa clan."

Hen Tao, reeling from the whip's impact, lay on the ground struggling to breathe and unable to speak.

He Duo stared at Hen Tao in disbelief.

Had this organization truly attacked a Bloodian clan led by a Bloodian Queen?! They must be incredibly audacious to undertake such an act!

Hen Tao was equally astonished. His organization only sold the Bloodians for income. They were rather careful and wouldn't attack the members of the clans with Bloodian Queens.

Could it be that other factions were also selling the Bloodians?!
