2117 Thick Soil City The giant city built on Ta Lei’s territory had been named Thick Soil City by Lin Yuan. The soil had to be solid in order for Sky City to float securely in the sky. For the past day, Luo Lan had done all she could to urge the tribe leaders discreetly. The tribes were immediately thrown into an entanglement of sorrow and fury. From the moment they stepped foot into Thick Soil City, the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members started missing home. The people of the Iron Hammer Federation were very simple and honest. After any tribe was established, the members were always together, even if the entire tribe needed to move. Although there were also collateral and direct descendant bloodlines amongst the Platinum tribes, and the direct descendant bloodlines were more elite than the collateral bloodlines, the gap in status was not as large as in the Divine Wood Federation. The direct and collateral disciples of the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribes all lived together and had close relationships. The tribe members who managed to survive had just experienced the pain of having to leave their families. But now, they were about to experience the pain of their families dying. How could these people who were already in the depths of despair hold on? When a person’s emotions were about to bubble over, they needed a way to vent. The heart-wrenching wails of desperation could be heard all over the Iron Hammer Federation. However, venting did not do the tribe members any good. Not even the leaders and Class 4 Creation Masters from the Black Gold tribes had any way of preventing all of this from happening. The only thing they could do was tell their tribe members who had remained at home to do their best to hide. The tribe leaders knew what kind of people had been left at home. It was unknown if these people would be able to flee successfully in the middle of winter. It was not only the humans who had to go hungry but the feys as well. The young, old, and weak with no combat abilities not only had to survive the cold weather in order to survive in the wild but so did their starving feys. There was no need for Luo Lan to do anything, and every tribe member in Thick Soil City now hated Luo Cai with every fiber of their being. While Lin Yuan was talking to Luo Lan, he had clearly told her that he needed faith power. Lin Yuan had saved the Iron Hammer Federation and rescued the lives of the tens of millions of tribe members who were now living in Thick Soil City. Luo Lan could not repay the debt she owed Lin Yuan. Thus, she had advertised what Lin Yuan needed throughout Thick Soil City. In the moment of crisis, Lin Yuan had given Luo Lan the Soldier Ration Radishes and saved the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members. This was because he wanted to make the Iron Hammer Federation see Luo Lan as a goddess. He had been successful in doing so. However, the image of the goddess was still a rung lower than the god that Lin Yuan was seen as. Thus, Lin Yuan could clearly sense that the dots of light in the shrine were increasing with every second. The moment one dot of light appeared, it would start to grow rapidly. Each of these dots of light was already larger than those that Lin Yuan had collected in the Radiance Federation. Lin Yuan’s shrine looked different after it had been burned by the spirit fire. The amount of faith power in the shrine increased continuously and was about to fully occupy the space. Lin Yuan had a feeling that his shrine was about to undergo another transformation. He had been confused about the situation within the shrine, but he had a slightly clearer idea about it ever since the last transformation. Each new glowing dot of light that became stronger and represented an even larger amount of faith power was because Lin Yuan had instructed Begin Lady to transform into a stream of water and killed the Blood Claw Charging Wolf. The Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members saw Fang Ke as virtually undefeatable. All regular people without power and those who only possessed a small amount of it admired the strong. However, they could not even begin to fathom the power of this expert who had saved them. To them, he was no different from a god. Lin Yuan sensed the changes within the shrine as he prepared to face the final battle in the Startling Lines Continent. According to the information from Jin Qianxun, many of the secret aristocratic families from the Great Lush Federation had already led their experts out in full strength. The Truth Association had far greater control over the Great Lush Federation than they had over Luo Cai and the Iron Hammer Federation. If Jin Qianxun had never met Lin Yuan, he would have immediately gone to his brother to contest such a ludicrous decision. But now, Jin Qianxun saw himself as a bystander. After all, Lin Yuan had promised to let him take over as the head of the Jin family and for the Jin family to replace the Truth Association as the rulers of the Great Lush Federation. As such, everything that was happening now was just temporary pain that the Jin family had to endure. No matter how many members of the Jin family lost their lives, Jin Qianxun did not mind as long as it led to a bright future. Jin Qianxun understood the situation, but his two brothers were completely left in the dark. Jin Qianxing had become much more subdued after he was slapped by Jin Qianding and dared not act as recklessly as he did before. But when Jin Qianding gave the order for all to set off, Jin Qianxing had attacked him in order to safeguard the Jin family’s future. In the end, Jin Qianding ordered his fey to kill Jin Qianxing. This was not just happening in the Jin family. Any member of a secret aristocratic family who had spoken in opposition to the decision ended up killed. Killing one as an example to send out a warning to the rest was a tried and tested method. After they were killed, there were no longer any voices of opposition within the secret aristocratic families. Jin Qianxun never stopped sending reports to Lin Yuan as he followed Great Lush Federation’s team out. If the scheme unfolding in the Startling Lines Continent was truly related to helping Fifth Page Truth increase his power, it was likely that Fifth Page Truth would seek Lin Yuan out personally. Yesterday, Lin Yuan had already instructed Listen, Li Wan, and the rest to flee to the underground palace for safety. Lin Yuan did not want his subordinates to fall into any harm. ... Besides people like Lin Yuan and Li Wan, who worked hard directly under him, Lin Yuan also sent word through the Thoughts Letter Paper to Yi Huailu and Yi Huailong.
