2589 Exploring the Barren Sea! Lin Yuan was using this time to fuse with the tomes formed from the dimensional worlds’ treasures. Although he was slumbering in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the storm clouds in the main world were showing no signs of stopping in their tracks. Rather, they were even showing signs of growing stronger! Wen Yu did not waste time and immediately contacted Bei Xu through the Thoughts Letter Paper. She instructed Red Beauty to take Bei Xu back into Sky Bearer City. Wen Yu usually played the role of Lin Yuan’s assistant in the Astronomical Parliament and rarely reached out to the other members privately. But as the first member to take a seat on one of the golden thrones and the contractor of the Astronomical Parliament, Wen Yu still had a lot of sway in the Astronomical Parliament. No one would dare to defy or sub her. Bei Xu was very curious about Wen Yu’s reason for calling him. When Bei Xu and his blood zombies arrived where Wen Yu was, she handed over the marsh Dictators to him and said seriously, “Bei Xu, I know that you were longing to meet Lin Yuan. Now, you finally have. “Initially, he had no intention of coming to the Grotto Continent immediately. He also has other things to do. He only decided to rush here because he wanted to protect you. I wanted to bring you out with me to train, but Lin Yuan decided to allow you to take over Sky Bearer City. Then, you will personally lead a team to explore a direction. “Lin Yuan also sent Hornless Dragon Source here to protect you. You can order these ten Dictators around and use them to help you expand your territory. I’m sure you can tell how important you are to him. So make sure not to disappoint him!” Lin Yuan chose not to tell Bei Xu how much hope he had for him. However, Wen Yu felt it was necessary to bring this up to Bei Xu so that he would be aware of it. If Bei Xu did not do well even after he was made aware of this, the problem would be in his capabilities! Bei Xu felt a tangle of emotions. He was always worried that he would befall danger and Lin Yuan would be delayed in attending to his own business because he needed to save Bei Xu. Wen Yu’s words told him that he had indeed inconvenienced Lin Yuan and messed up Lin Yuan’s plan. Lin Yuan believed in him so much and was even allowing him to explore and venture in one of the directions. Since Lin Yuan trusted him so much, he had to do this task well. Wen Yu did not comment when she saw how motivated Bei Xu was. She instructed Red Beauty to lead the other four emperor mermaids and 100 Dictators to split into two directions and begin exploring. Wen Yu chose the two directions where other federations were most likely to be found and left the easier one to Bei Xu. This was her way of helping to alleviate Bei Xu’s pressure. Wen Yu knew that Lin Yuan did not need the resources from the Barren Sea. There was a myriad of resources in the Barren Sea. The only option was to slowly discover and harvest them. What Lin Yuan truly needed were the Continent Vein Cores. Knowing this, Wen Yu had a clear goal. She immediately utilized the Abyss Red Lotus to sense the Continent Vein Cores. Wen Yu planned to follow the Abyss Red Lotus, gradually gathering the Continent Vein Cores from this side of the Barren Sea until she obtained them all. With four emperor mermaids and 100 Dictators at her disposal, Wen Yu could confidently confront factions of similar power to the Freedom Federation. This journey didn’t trouble her in the least. Since forming a contract with the Elemental Paper and aiding Lin Yuan in gathering and organizing information, Wen Yu swiftly became adept at information gathering. Her visits to the Hidden Moon Pavilion consistently yielded substantial results. Mystic Moon had previously informed Wen Yu that the Continent Vein Cores were typically located in regions with optimal environments and climates. This implied that the locations of these cores were the most prosperous on their respective continents. If that were indeed the case, utilizing the Abyss Red Lotus to locate and control the Continent Vein Cores might also lead her to the areas with the highest concentration of humans. Wen Yu immediately began searching while Bei Xu led Hornless Dragon Source and the ten Dictators away to begin their endeavor of taking control of Sky Bearer City. Those who were disobedient or prevented her from taking control of Sky Bearer City would all be picked out by Bei Xu. He intended to give them one last chance. If they still did not cherish that chance, he would use the most merciless method to teach them a lesson. Once they knew how powerful he was and they still refused to recognize him as the ruler of Sky Bearer City, he would wipe them off the face of the earth. That would be the fastest way to establish a new system and culture in Sky Bearer City. Once Bei Xu did so, he could build its influence until it spread across the entire Grotto Continent. From what Wen Yu said, Bei Xu knew that Lin Yuan intended to make him the ruler of the Grotto Continent. Bei Xu trusted Su Yiren, Luo Lan, Yin Lin, and the rest implicitly because they all had the potential to stand at the top of an entire continent. They were able to execute their will over an entire continent. Now, he finally had his chance to become a ruler. Before meeting Lin Yuan, every single one of Bei Xu’s days had been dark and laborious. He did not want anyone to have to lead such a life after he became the ruler. He intended to change everything in the Grotto Continent. Bei Xu had the confidence and the resolution. However, this change could only take place slowly. Bei Xu intended to contact Su Yiren and Yin Lin to ask and learn from them. In truth, many of the elites in Sky Bearer City had already sworn their loyalty to Bei Xu. Dazzling Silver, Blue Umber, Light Green Umber, Red Beauty, and the other emperor mermaids possessed power far beyond the comprehension of these elites. People were always afraid of that which they could not comprehend. Very few elites dared to challenge Bei Xu’s might when he was able to order around four emperor mermaids. Bei Xu was willing to give these elites three chances so they could have a say in whether they lived or died. But he would not spare those who questioned him. If they still did not learn their lesson, more would question his power in the future. Bei Xu was well aware of this now that he had been a leader for some time! Meanwhile… Chef Supreme and Iron Prison were strolling relaxedly in the marsh world.
