Chapter 3072: Traveling Dragon Palace’s Message! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gray Smoke Stronghold had been cultivating in Extreme Wood City for so many years. It was also a veteran faction and had existed for much longer than Traveling Dragon Palace. This was not the first time Zhao Chen suspected that the City Lord of Extreme Wood City was involved in the battle between Gray Smoke Stronghold and Traveling Dragon Palace. The origins of the City Lord of Extreme Wood City were very mysterious, and he had a high status in the Honor Absent Parliament. Zhao Chen had very little contact with the City Lord of Extreme Wood City. He had no enmity with the City Lord and did not think that the City Lord would do such a thing. However, the current situation of resources flowing out of Diverse City was too serious. Zhao Chen had no choice but to think about it. As the City Lord of Diverse City, Zhao Chen had to be responsible for the factions under him. If the faction behind him knew about the outflow of resources from Diverse City, he would more or less be questioned. Under such circumstances, Zhao Chen naturally would not attend Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair. Fortune Treasure Palace did not reveal that Lin Yuan was going to participate in the trade fair. With Sun Yin’s permission, Traveling Dragon Palace only released the news two hours before the trade fair began. He revealed that a Grade 5 Creator would participate in the trade fair. In the future, this Grade 5 Creator would stay in Traveling Dragon Palace as a sponsor. You Di, the Second Palace Master of the Wandering Dragon Palace, did not deliberately publicize this news after releasing it. This news quickly spread throughout Diverse City. The factions that had been qualified to attend this trade fair were overjoyed. They were all hoping to get a chance to come into contact with this Grade 5 Creator. Those factions that had not intended to participate in the trade fair started to have ideas. In order to meet this Grade 5 Creator, they began to use their connections to fight for the right to participate in the trade fair. Ding Tao and Feng Qian had already left with Lin Yuan. Wan Ying had just heaved a sigh of relief when she received this news. Many factions were asking Fortune Treasure Palace for a spot. There were only five spots in Fortune Treasure Palace, and more than half of them had been given to Lin Yuan. Even if those factions promised them great benefits, Wan Ying could not reduce Lin Yuan’s quota. Wan Ying thought for a moment and sent a message to Feng Qian and Ding Tao, asking them to carefully serve Lin Yuan and see if they could get in touch with this Grade 5 Creator and strive to foster their relationship with this Grade 5 Creator to turn her into a special honor guest of Fortune Treasure Palace. Feng Qian and Ding Tao often did this kind of thing. The two of them had always been very good at it. Otherwise, Feng Qian and Ding Tao would not have become subordinates that Wan Ying valued so much. She would not even hesitate to use her own favors to help the two of them. Zhao Chen was surprised when he received the news. According to Zhao Chen’s information, Traveling Dragon Palace was already at the end of its rope. All the resources that could be mobilized had been used up. In the end, Traveling Dragon Palace played the Grade 5 Creator card. This was something Zhao Chen did not expect. Traveling Dragon Palace had brought out a Grade 5 Creator. With this Grade 5 Creator helping them, regardless of whether Traveling Dragon Palace could gain a place in Extreme Wood City while being targeted by Gray Smoke Stronghold. Factions like Bizarre Plant Demon Hall in Diverse City would definitely not dare to target Traveling Dragon Palace. If Zhao Chen were to become enemies with Traveling Dragon Palace, after knowing that a Grade 5 Creator was on Traveling Dragon Palace’s side, Zhao Chen would think of a way to repair his relationship with Traveling Dragon Palace. The old man beside Zhao Chen asked softly after reporting the news, “Lord, do you think we should go to Traveling Dragon Palace? They sent us three invitations, but you have yet to respond to them!” The old man was very clear about Zhao Chen’s attitude toward Traveling Dragon Palace. It could be described as disgust, but he also knew that Zhao Chen would definitely go to Traveling Dragon Palace after news of a Grade 5 Creator presiding over it spread. A Grade 5 Creator had appeared in Diverse City. Be it friend or foe, the City Lord had to come into contact with him. “Uncle Fu, let’s go to Traveling Dragon Palace. When we reach Traveling Dragon Palace, inform You Di to introduce this Grade 5 Creator to us. Tell him that as long as he introduces us to this Grade 5 Creator, I’ll forget everything that happened before!” Traveling Dragon Palace had contacted him many times when they were transferring resources, You Di had been explaining to him, hoping he would not misunderstand them. Traveling Dragon Palace had no intention of transferring resources outside. No matter how well Traveling Dragon Palace developed, if it wanted to develop in Diverse City, they would have to rely on him. Because Zhao Chen had to serve Lin Yuan for the past few days, he was thinking about how to receive the Grade 5 Creator that Lin Yuan had sent over. Thus, he had temporarily put off his response to Traveling Dragon Palace. You Di had sent three invitations without his explicit statement. Two of them were personally sent by You Di, which was enough to show You Di’s attitude. Zhao Chen felt that You Di had no reason to refuse just introducing him to this Grade 5 Creator. The old man called Uncle Fu bowed and said, “I’ll definitely relay the City Lord’s words, but it’s hard to say if You Di will agree to it. After all, when Traveling Dragon Palace was in a predicament, we did not help them. It’s only to be expected that Traveling Dragon Palace is going to make a move now.” Zhao Chen heard the old man’s words and said firmly, “You Di is a smart person. He wouldn’t do such a thing. Uncle Fu, you’ve been with me for more than 6,000 years. If you can befriend the Grade 5 Creator who presides over Fortune Treasure Palace and give me a chance to trade Creator resources with them, I’ll give you a share of the Creator resources I’ve traded and help your two feys’ bloodlines improve.” The old man called Uncle Fu’s full name was Chen Fu. He was the one Zhao Chen valued the most among all his subordinates in the past few thousand years. Chen Fu was the most considerate when it came to handling matters, which made Zhao Chen feel very comfortable. Chen Fu was not a member of Zhao Chen’s family. He was a member of the mercenary group that Zhao Chen had saved during a training session. When this mercenary group was attacked by the star pirates, Chen Fu was the only one left. Seeing that Chen Fu was quite capable, Zhao Chen kept him by his side. In the end, Chen Fu took a blow for him during one of his trips and got seriously injured. Zhao Chen started to train Chen Fu after that incident. During the training process, Zhao Chen found that Chen Fu was very capable. He was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight. Zhao Chen and Chen Fu signed a master-servant contract and he controlled Chen Fu’s holy spirit. Zhao Chen trusted Chen Fu completely, otherwise he would not have promised to give Chen Fu Grade 5 Creator resources. Of course, there was another reason why Zhao Chen would make such a decision. The intermediate Grade 5 Creator that Lin Yuan was about to send over would provide Zhao Chen with sufficient Creator resources. If Zhao Chen wanted to obtain Grade 5 Creator resources, he could just speak to the Grade 5 Creator that Lin Yuan had sent over. He did not need to think of a way to persuade the Grade 5 Creator in Traveling Dragon Palace. Hearing Zhao Chen’s words, Chen Fu got very excited. Zhao Chen had saved his life and had always treated him generously, so Chen Fu was both respectful and grateful to Zhao Chen. But now Zhao Chen was willing to provide him with Class 5 Creator resources, which made Chen Fu feel that he was willing to die with him. Being able to follow Zhao Chen was his own good fortune! “City Lord, thank you for nurturing me. After my two feys’ bloodlines improve, I will definitely share your worries!” Many factions were suspicious of the news that Traveling Dragon Palace had spread two hours before the trade fair began. They had a feeling that Traveling Dragon Palace did not want more people to come and support them so they deliberately released fake news! Especially factions like Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, who had a grudge against Traveling Dragon Palace, were most unwilling to believe that Traveling Dragon Palace had such ability. If the domineering Traveling Dragon Palace really had such ability, how could they give Bizarre Plant Demon Hall a chance to rise? They would have probably suppressed Bizarre Plant Demon Hall long before they showed signs of rising. As their opponent, Bizarre Plant Demon Hall knew Traveling Dragon Palace very well. Coupled with their cooperation with Gray Smoke Stronghold, they clearly knew the predicament of Traveling Dragon Palace. Thus, Bizarre Plant Demon Hall felt that Traveling Dragon Palace was lying. However, after Zhao Chen arrived, You Di personally received him. When he received Zhao Chen, You Di did not show any abnormal behavior. This made the various factions led by Bizarre Plant Demon Hall doubt the authenticity of the news. Traveling Dragon Palace definitely did not dare to lie to Diverse City’s City Lord. Ever since Traveling Dragon Palace wanted to develop in another city, Zhao Chen’s attitude towards Traveling Dragon Palace was not good at all. Zhao Chen could not help Traveling Dragon Palace. Zhao Chen came and even entered Traveling Dragon Palace. He participated in this trade fair very respectfully, causing the situation to become confusing. The first thing You Di said when he saw Zhao Chen was, “Brother Zhao, I am really sorry Traveling Dragon Palace has been troubling you for the past few decades.” When You Di said this, his tone was extremely sincere and his expression was filled with guilt. Unlike You Tao who had always been at odds with Zhao Chen, You Di had always been on good terms with Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen had always treated You Di as sort of a younger brother. In the early years, he had given a large amount of resources to Traveling Dragon Palace because of You Di. When Traveling Dragon Palace decided to develop their influence in Extreme Wood City, Zhao Chen immediately went to You Di to dissuade him. But Traveling Dragon Palace’s leader was not You Di but You Tao. You Di could not dissuade his brother in terms of decision-making, so Traveling Dragon Palace still developed in Extreme Wood City. It was precisely because of this that the relationship between Zhao Chen and You Di started to become distant. You Di really hoped to ease his relationship with Zhao Chen. If not for the fact that his brother You Tao was not in Diverse City, You Di would not have had the chance to say this. Zhao Chen looked at You Di and sighed softly as he said, “Now that Traveling Dragon Palace has its own fortuitous opportunity, you might have a chance to establish yourselves in Extreme Wood City in the future. Even if you want to talk about what happened before, it shouldn’t be you mentioning it to me. It should be your brother! Ah Di, I have something to ask you. Is it true that Traveling Dragon Palace has a Grade 5 Creator?” You Di hurriedly said, “How can Traveling Dragon Palace send fake news at a time like this? If we upload fake news on this matter, Traveling Dragon Palace’s reputation in Diverse City will be completely ruined! I will not do such a thing! Traveling Dragon Palace has indeed gained a Grade 5 Creator as a guest and this Grade 5 Creator will appear at the trade fair.” Zhao Chen nodded and waved at You Di, indicating that there was no need to keep him company. Then he walked in with Chen Fu and a few other servants. Zhao Chen had not expected You Di to greet him at the door. However, he did not ask You Di to introduce him to this Class 5 Creator. He still wanted Chen Fu to contact You Di. Zhao Chen could sense that You Di wanted to improve their relationship but Traveling Dragon Palace’s actions had seriously infringed on his interests, even affecting his status in the family. Under such circumstances, Zhao Chen had no reason to forgive You Di. Furthermore, when You Tao returned, the person in charge of Traveling Dragon Palace would still be You Tao and not You Di. You Tao might even command Traveling Dragon Palace to do something that would go against his interests. Although Zhao Chen was still angry at Traveling Dragon Palace, there was a Grade 5 Creator holding down Traveling Dragon Palace. As long as Traveling Dragon Palace was still a faction in Diverse City, Zhao Chen was prepared to disregard the past and cooperate with Traveling Dragon Palace. However, the cooperation between the two sides would no longer be one-sided nurturing by Zhao Chen. Instead, it would be a mutually beneficial choice. In order to make the bidding between Traveling Dragon Palaces more intense, it was not an auction like the Diverse Talent Market where every distinguished guest had their own private room. Instead, there was an open-air auction. Zhao Chen hated this kind of environment. There were always people around him who wanted to greet and chat with him. Zhao Chen hated useless socializing the most. Chen Fu knew what Zhao Chen was thinking. So whenever someone wanted to talk with Zhao Chen, Chen Fu would stop them for him. Zhao Chen’s purpose in coming to this auction was to meet the Grade 5 Creator who had become a guest of Traveling Dragon Palace. He was not interested in anything else. When Zhao Chen saw Lin Yuan, who was sitting diagonally behind him, he immediately revealed a warm smile. He quickly walked in front of Lin Yuan and found a seat beside him to sit down and chat with him. At this moment, Zhao Chen was no longer as stern as before. Instead, he became extremely lively. Everyone vaguely felt that Zhao Chen was deliberately trying to curry favor with the young man in front of him. Two reception officers of the Fortune Treasure Palace sat beside this young man, indicating that he was a guest of Fortune Treasure Palace. When did such a big shot come to Diverse City? Moreover, Zhao Chen and this young man obviously knew each other, so many people began to guess Lin Yuan’s identity.
