Chapter 1098 Accidental Connection Liu Jie was the freest person because his contribution had been bundled up with Lin Yuan’s. During the meal, Zong Ze brought the eight Heart Sound Fishes into the kitchen to make them into dessert for the group. Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Gao Feng, Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang all gobbled up the 300 dishes without restraint. Even the picky Liu Jie could not find any issues with the 300 dishes. Although Liu Jie had admitted that Zong Ze’s cooking skill was decent, it did not mean that he was admitting defeat. Liu Jie felt that Zong Ze also could not recreate the unique flavor of Liu Jie’s dishes. After Zong Ze walked out of the kitchen with the desserts, Liu Jie’s phone started to ring. Liu Jie’s face darkened when he checked the screen, and he whispered to Lin Yuan, “The other side is making their move.” Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed. The Zheng family sure was eager to start the blood pact ultimate fight with Sky City! The Zheng family’s family head had to have just reached Indigo Azure City yesterday night! Lin Yuan shook his head at Liu Jie to signal to him not to mention this matter. However, it was clear that Liu Jie had heard some urgent news in the call. Liu Jie forced himself to hold the news in. Zong Ze and Gu Lang had noticed the changes in Liu Jie’s expression. However, Liu Jie did not seem to want to talk about it, and Zong Ze and Gu Lang did not ask either. Liu Jie’s call was just a small interlude. After everyone’s bellies were full, every plate was empty. Before they left, everyone gave their gifts to Zong Ze. Lin Yuan summoned Blackie and dragged Liu Jie onto Blackie’s back before they headed back to the Return from Faraway Mansion. Zong Ze did not immediately open the gifts. Instead, he summoned the Fiery Sky Hou to feed it. The moment the Fiery Sky Hou was summoned, it grabbed the brocade box that Lin Yuan had given Zong Ze. Normally, Zong Ze would have given the Fiery Sky Hou anything it was interested in to play with. But since this item came from Lin Yuan, Zong Ze ordered the Fiery Sky Hou to bring the brocade box over. The moment he emptied the box, Zong Ze froze. He could not believe that Lin Yuan had given him a Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl. Not even Chef Supreme could nurture an elemental pearl with this outer layer. The Fiery Sky Hou had the ability to use the fire elements it had come into contact with to increase the purity of the fire element in its own body. The fire element in the Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl was 100%. With the fire-type Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl, the fire-element in the Fiery Sky Hou’s body could be increased from its current 96% purity to 100%. This would allow the Fiery Sky Hou’s power to skyrocket. Once the fire-element in the Fiery Sky Hou’s body reached 100%, it would even be able to use Eight Fire Refinement to absorb top-grade strange flames. Lin Yuan, who was currently riding on Blackie’s back, did not know that the fire-type Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl had such significance to Zong Ze. If he knew, he would be happy for Zong Ze. In the past, Lin Yuan would have been worried that leaving the Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl in Zong Ze’s hands would attract Chef Supreme’s attention. But now, there was no need for Lin Yuan to worry about this. The Moon Empress now had pure spirit qi that he had fed the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies. In the future, the pure spirit qi in the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies would become another resource to strengthen the Moon Empress. The Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl could be a form of advertisement that he was making on behalf of the Moon Empress. Zong Ze placed the Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl into a bell and hung it around the Fiery Sky Hou’s neck. At that moment, Liu Jie said in a low voice, “Lin Yuan, the call was from the Spirit Guards. They said that there’s a thearch-class expert amongst the experts that the Zheng family is sending out for the blood pact ultimate fight. They looked into it and found out that the thearch-class expert has been by Miao Zhenshan’s side since they were young. His name is Han Tianhe. Han Tianhe’s main fey has reached Creation IV.” Lin Yuan remained expressionless, but his mind was abuzz with activity. He did not expect the Miao family to provide the Zheng family with a thearch-class expert for the blood pact ultimate fight. This piece of news would have left Lin Yuan at a complete loss in the past. But now that he had the Invisible Demon, which had the power of a Sovereign X/Creation VIII fey, he was not worried as long as the Zheng family did not send out an immortal-class expert. “Lin Yuan, why don’t I use my identity as the Midnight Palace’s Young Liege and pay a visit to the Miao family on the day of the blood pact ultimate fight? All the Miao family’s experts will definitely be there to receive me. This way, Han Tianhe will have to stay at home even if he has already registered his participation,” said Liu Jie. Liu Jie’s brow remained tightly knit while he spoke as this was not a foolproof plan. If the Miao family decided not to make Han Tianhe stay at home and allowed him to help the Zheng family, they would be doomed! Lin Yuan shook his head. “Big Brother Liu, you don’t have to worry. I actually hope that the Miao family will be able to send more thearch-class experts to help with the Zheng family’s blood pact ultimate fight.” At Liu Jie’s look of confusion, Lin Yuan looked down at his shadow and said, “Invisible Demon, we’ll be depending on you for this blood pact ultimate fight.” The moment Lin Yuan spoke, a raspy voice said from his shadow, “Whatever pleases you, Master.” The Invisible Demon also released its aura. When Liu Jie sensed the Invisible Demon’s aura, he immediately knew that he had nothing to worry about. Lin Yuan could not help but look forward to facing off against Han Tianhe’s Sovereign V/ Creation IV fey. Once the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen absorbed the World Source Crystal in the Creation Breed fey, it might instantly result in a new sword skill! After Liu Jie and Lin Yuan returned to the mansion, Lin Yuan told Wen Yu to accept the Zheng family’s blood pact ultimate fight invitation on behalf of Sky City.
