2118 Stop Hiding, Come Out and Fight! Yi Huailong was now the joystick that Lin Yuan manipulated to control the Divine Wood Federation. As long as Yi Huailong was around, Lin Yuan could just let him know of any resources that he needed. Yi Huailong would never turn down any of Lin Yuan’s requests. Hence, Yi Huailong was just as important to Lin Yuan as Luo Lan was. Yi Huailu, who was Sky City’s first living Class 5 Creation Master, was even more important. When Lin Yuan started building Sky City atop the Floating Island Whale, he intended to assign all jobs that could only be accomplished by Class 5 Creation Master to Yi Huailu. From a strategic significance standpoint, Yi Huailu was more important than all the resources that the Startling Lines Continent could offer. Before Lin Yuan left, he had left enough of the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacles with Yi Huailu and Yi Huailong. With the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacles, Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu could transport themselves all the way to the underground palace. Currently, the Ethereal Jellyfish had reached Diamond X. As such, each one of its tentacles could transport targets by around a distance of 700 kilometers between two nodes. Lin Yuan had left hundreds of the tentacles, which was more than enough for Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu to reach the underground palace. Lin Yuan did not understand Fifth Page Truth’s methods. Although Begin Lady had set its spirit fire alight, it still could not travel thousands of kilometers to reach the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court. Although Little Peach could summon Begin Lady using its bloodline power, the most important thing when facing experts on Fifth Page War’s level was strategy. Hence, the situation would only be considered safe when Yi Huailu and Yi Huailong arrived at the underground palace. The two of them had sought refuge in the Hollowed Tamarix tree castle before. This was not the first time that Lin Yuan was providing shelter for them. The construction of the underground palace was not complete yet. However, with help from Hu Tian, who had the Scary Claw Rock Bear, and the hundreds of Spirit Craftsmen from Heavenly Craft Pavilion, the construction had entered its final phase. Hu Quan had already broken through past Class 5 Spirit Craftsman. If the floating carvings on the walls were preserved, people from centuries and millennia in the future would assume that the underground palace was actually the sacred palace of a god. Hu Quan had thought too much about the patterns he carved on the walls as there had not been many options for him as a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman. But everything was different once he became a Class 6 Creation Master. Although Class 6 Creation Masters could not give souls to their carvings, they could inject emotions. Because of his abilities as a Class 6 Spirit Craftsman, Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu could see the growth, warmth, and unity of Sky City from the moment they laid eyes on the wall. Besides the carvings on the wall, Hu Quan had also dug out four large lotus ponds in the four corners of the underground palace. There was one of the Sunlight King Lotus planted in each lotus pond. Hu Quan asked for Lin Yuan’s help to nurture a large number of the Platinum Spirit-Siphon Goldfish. The army of Hundred Questions Beasts had tired themselves out nurturing the Platinum Spirit-Siphon Goldfish. However, with their help, they managed to hand over 200 of the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish to Hu Quan. Hu Quan had asked Lin Yuan to nurture so many of the Platinum Spirit-Siphon Goldfish because he had embedded various jade-textured wood in the walls. When the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish released spirit qi, the jade-textured wood would start to glow. The light from the jade-textured wood was very warm. When it was matched with the light produced by the Sunlight King Lotuses, it would seem as though it was daytime in the underground palace all day. As the leader of one of the Divine Wood Federation’s veteran elite families, Yi Huailong felt that he had his fair share of experience. But once he arrived at the underground palace and saw all the furnishings that had been made with jade-textured wood, Yi Huailong felt as though he had actually been a country bumpkin all this while. After all, these were not regular jade-textured pieces of wood but treasures that almost had 100% purity. Yi Huailong had only seen such treasures in Sky Creation’s tree castle, where there had been a few pieces of furniture made of jade-textured wood. The furniture made of jade-textured wood was what removed all suspicion from Yi Huailong and the other disciples of veteran elite families who came to the tree castle to trade with Lin Yuan. At the time, Yi Huailong assumed that it was just as difficult for Lin Yuan to come across furniture made of jade-textured wood. Lin Yuan looked at Yi Huailong and said, “If you’re interested in the jade-textured wood, I can give you ten tons of them. The situation in the imperial court should have been settled before you came over, right?” Yi Huailong was delighted when he heard the first part of what Lin Yuan said. But the second half caused his heart to sink. “Lord Lin Yuan, I have settled everything in the imperial court. I instructed the Yi family’s younger generation to open a new shelter within the imperial court. As for the members of the veteran elite families, I instructed all of them to stay at home and not go out under any circumstances. If there’s any danger, the safest place for them will be at home where they have the shelters that they built in advance.” Lin Yuan nodded. Yi Huailong’s arrangement was the right one. Given the circumstances, this was the best arrangement that could be made. Lin Yuan was about to speak with Yi Huailu when several masses of powerful aura shot out from the sea of flowers. Silver Corona was instantly overcome by a sense of helplessness, and it immediately alerted Lin Yuan. Frankly, there was no need for Silver Corona to alert Lin Yuan as the latter and the rest had already sensed the uncontrolled auras. The experts had not released their auras in order to locate their enemies, as they could have done so by releasing their spiritual energy. There was no need for them to use such an excessive method. The incoming experts had done so in order to declare war. They were standing out in the open and announcing that they had arrived. They were also trying to scream at their enemy to come out of hiding and fight it out.
