Chapter 2925 The Disappearing Emerald Lady!
The people from the Faerie Inst.i.tution could only come here for one purpose, which was to rescue this faerie and help it evolve to avoid trouble. Regardless of whether the factions present knew of the Faerie Inst.i.tution's prestige or not, if they dared to have eyes set on this lower faerie who was about to evolve, they had to be prepared for the Faerie Inst.i.tution's revenge.
At any time, there was always a risk in seeking opportunities. Letting these factions be punished by the Faerie Inst.i.tution to take the blame for him could be considered making the most of the situation.
Winter had never been concerned about the life and death of other factions and species. As an old fellow who had crossed countless eras, Winter possessed a transcendent understanding of life and death.
Lin Yuan raised his brows and acknowledged Winter's words. Indeed, it would be better to find an opportunity to take this lower faerie away instead of staying and fighting with so many factions to contend for it. With Spring and Winter by his side, even if the Faerie Inst.i.tution arrived, Lin Yuan believed that they would not be able to compete with him. However, Lin Yuan did not want to clash with the Faerie Inst.i.tution.
Based on Lin Yuan's understanding of the Begin Lady and Celestial Sight, he held a good impression of the faeries. He believed that each faerie's previous form was a blissful haven. If it could cooperate with the Faerie Inst.i.tution in the future, it would definitely bring great benefits to Lin Yuan.
"Winter, your suggestion is not bad. Let's do this according to your suggestion!"
Winter bowed to Lin Yuan and said softly, "Young Master, let Spring protect you here. You don't have to go forward anymore. Let me go and bring over the lower faerie that's about to evolve. His lower faerie's aura is very chaotic, and there are several energy fluctuations near it. It's likely that the faerie is engaged in battle with someone or being plotted against."
Lin Yuan had helped Begin Lady and Celestial Sight pa.s.s the Heaven's Trial, so he was well aware of how dangerous it was for a faerie. When a faerie went through the Heaven's Trial, they would try their best to seek protection from the outside world to successfully pa.s.s. While being hara.s.sed, it was impossible to pa.s.s the Heaven's Trial.
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, "In that case, I'll wait for you here. If that lower faerie is in danger, you might as well lend a hand to help it."
Upon hearing this, Winter raised his hand and formed a hand seal. A crescent-shaped ice mirror appeared in front of Lin Yuan. The ice mirror displayed Winter's perspective, and Lin Yuan could clearly see all his movements reflected in the mirror. This experience was rather novel to Lin Yuan.
Liu Chen, Liu Yao, Kani, Jin Chen, and the others all broke out in cold sweat for the other factions who had their eyes set on this faerie. Should this faerie really be under attack now, prompting investigation by the Faerie Inst.i.tution, then it suddenly disappeared, the factions present would certainly pay for the Faerie Inst.i.tution's anger. There was no doubt about this.
As powerful lifeforms, they all knew the benefits of a faerie to a faction, especially a faerie that was about to evolve into an intermediate faerie. However, no one would choose to attack a faerie unless it was absolutely necessary. Apart from being afraid of the power of the Faerie Inst.i.tution, it was mostly because they didn't want to interfere with a faerie. For a faerie, besides the considerable danger of evolving its bloodline, the opportunity for bloodline evolution was equally rare. Once lost, it would be difficult to obtain it again.
Under the current circ.u.mstance, the faerie must be in a very miserable physical condition now that it had been schemed against. It must be very desperate being in a deadlock with other factions while waiting for Heaven's Trial to arrive.
Winter's movements were extremely fast, and Lin Yuan quickly saw the faerie through his perspective. The faerie had long green hair and a slender figure. In terms of appearance, she was a very gentle and beautiful woman. Her entire body was filled with vitality, like a green mountain after the rain. At present, the faerie's eyes were filled with anger and sorrow as four chains tightly bound her body.
A man in heavy armor commanded his subordinates to tighten the chains and said with a sinister smile, "Emerald Lady, stop struggling. Do you know how long we've been planning to capture you?! Now, you're finally in our hands! I knew that you wouldn't be able to let go of the heavenly pool that once gathered within you. In order to capture you, we didn't hesitate to completely cut off the possibility of this heavenly pool turning into a faerie. We've given up a lot of benefits. If it weren't for you, we might have considered nurturing this heavenly pool."
Upon hearing the man's hideous laughter, Emerald Lady let out a desperate roar and looked at the man with red eyes. Immediately afterward, Emerald Lady appeared indifferent, as if she didn't care at all, and a powerful force surged from her body. Green meridians appeared on her body with a faint fluorescent glow. The bulging meridians did not make her appear ugly but instead emanated a holy feeling. Green ribbons darted out of the faerie's body, transforming the meridians into emerald angry green dragon that swept towards the man and those around him who were pulling the chains.
The armored man did not care about Emerald Lady's attack at all. He finished off the angry dragon with two to three punches. However, the man's expression changed because of Emerald Lady's attack. "Are you crazy? You actually activated your roots when your power was sealed! Do you want to die? How are you going to resist the Heaven's Trial descending from the sky?!"
There was a kind of hysterical anger in Emerald Lady's normally gentle voice, like a mother protecting her child, "How I withstand Heaven's Trial is none of your business! You actually cut off heavenly pool's path just to target me. Even if it costs me my life, I will seek revenge for the heavenly pool. Don't think that I don't know your ident.i.ties. You should be from the Evil Forest Tiger. I just don't know which of the six branches of the Evil Forest Tiger you belong to. Don't think that I can't sense your auras!"
Emerald Lady activated her root power when her strength was restricted, seemingly prepared to engage in a fight to the death with the individuals before her. As a faerie, Emerald Lady had an extremely strong perception of auras. She was confident that there would be no problems with her perception.
However, Emerald Lady's words shocked the people in front of her. The reason why they were shocked had nothing to do with her strength, but rather because she recognized their aura and unveiled their ident.i.ties. These individuals targeting Emerald Lady were indeed from Evil Forest Tiger. They were members of one of the Evil Forest Tiger's branches.
The Evil Tiger Forest's six branches were dependent on each other and cooperated with each other. There was no enmity between them. Even if Emerald Lady did not point out which branch they belonged to, they would not be able to blame it on the other branches.
Moreover, if the Faerie Inst.i.tution found out about this, they wouldn't care which one of them did it. They would all face the Faerie Inst.i.tution's retaliation. Any branch in the Evil Forest Tiger could easily deal with a lower faerie, but they were completely powerless against those higher faeries were more than two eras old. Even without the intervention of faerie king, the Evil Forest Tiger would have to face the risk of complete annihilation.
When Emerald Lady called out the ident.i.ties of the individuals in front of her, they no longer treated her as pure prey because they were afraid that the news of them targeting a lower faerie would spread, and if the people from the Evil Forest Tiger couldn't completely control Emerald Lady, their only option would be to kill her.
When Lin Yuan saw this scene through the ice mirror, he could not help but shake his head. Lin Yuan didn't know if it was because this female faerie was so angry that she didn't care about the consequences or if she was too naive to actually cut off her chance of survival in front of the enemy.
However, it was obvious that the people who were targeting Emerald Lady were just mantises that were hunting for cicadas. Although they had set up a barrier to block her aura, her aura had already spread out. Who knew how many sparrows were waiting behind!
Lin Yuan felt that she was probably deliberately spreading her aura. Otherwise, if Emerald Lady deliberately concealed her aura under the protection of this barrier, it would most likely be very difficult for her aura to spread out. In any case, Lin Yuan's side would definitely be the biggest sparrow. Not only did he have the upper hand over Emerald Lady, but he also had the upper hand over the other factions that were targeting her.
Emerald Lady had been resisting tenaciously as if she had gone mad. Her resistance had completely infuriated the experts of the Evil Forest Tiger. These Evil Forest Tiger experts launched one attack after another at Emerald Lady, indicating a clear intent to kill her. The leader of Evil Tiger Forest was prepared to kill Emerald Lady after confirming that she refused to cooperate and didn't leave any room for negotiation. However, such behavior was clearly something that those sparrows were unwilling to see.
If the people from the Evil Forest Tiger killed Emerald Lady, wouldn't the other factions' efforts be in vain!? A dead faerie was far less valuable than a living faerie. Emerald Lady had already suffered some injuries to her body. If she sustained more injuries, the other factions may not be able to help Emerald Lady pa.s.s the Heaven's Trial and let her evolve into an intermediate faerie.
At this moment, various factions chose to intervene, determined not to let the Evil Tiger Forest harm Emerald Lady any further. Apart from helping Emerald Lady get rid of the people from Evil Forest Tiger, it was also crucial to calm Emerald Lady's emotions as much as possible. The Evil Forest Tigers were really stupid. Even if they had to employ some methods to capture Emerald Lady, they definitely shouldn't have targeted her vulnerabilities. This way, even if they really managed to control Emerald Lady, they wouldn't be able to convince her to work for the Evil Forest Tiger in the future.
The people of the Evil Forest Tiger realized that other factions might become aware of the existence of Emerald Lady and that there might be other factions waiting in the wings, like mantises hunting cicadas while sparrows watch.
Capturing Emerald Lady, a faerie with special abilities, was something that the Evil Forest Tiger had been researching for the past 300 years. One of the Evil Forest Tiger branches was attacking Emerald Lady, while the other five branches remained hidden in the dark, preparing to wait for the sparrows to step forward and intimidate them.
The commotion had escalated. The members of the Evil Forest Tiger were really afraid that the Faerie Inst.i.tution's people would suddenly appear. All the factions present treated the Evil Forest Tiger as mantises, but little did they know that they also regarded the people from other factions in the same light. The factions bold enough to target the Evil Forest Tiger would all become resources for them.
In order to fight for Emerald Lady, the major factions engaged in a fight. The scene was very chaotic.
Upon seeing this scene, Emerald Lady's despairing expression intensified. She was very regretful, as she did not expect such a serious consequence because of her negligence. In her heart, the heavenly pool that grew on her was like her own child. Emerald Lady had been using her roots to nourish the heavenly pool. If it weren't for her nourishment of the heavenly pool, Emerald Lady could have evolved to a lower faerie at least ten thousand years earlier.
Emerald Lady came here to check on the situation of the heavenly pool and see if she could use her Heaven's Trial to lure a portion of the roots into the heavenly pool, helping it become a lower faerie as well. Faeries would indeed help each other, but Emerald Lady cared so much about the heavenly pool mainly because it had a bloodline that was almost identical to her own.
After the heavenly pool became a lower faerie, its abilities will establish a cycle with Emerald Lady's. This cycle would be beneficial to both sides.
Emerald Lady regretted her rashness. In reality, she ventured out secretly and did not report the situation to the Faerie Inst.i.tution because they strictly prohibited faeries from a.s.sisting the non-faerie natural landscape, as it was very likely that it would cause the roots of the faerie to be damaged, causing unnecessary losses. The Faerie Inst.i.tution had a precedent of faeries helping natural landscapes and causing them to lose the opportunity to evolve their bloodline.
Just as Emerald Lady was in a state of despair, an inconspicuous snowflake descended from the sky and landed on her body. Right on the heels of that, an astonis.h.i.+ng energy erupted from within the snowflakes, and Emerald Lady was sucked into the snowflakes. The moment she was sucked into the snowflake, all the factions pounced on the snowflake. However, the snowflake had actually disappeared silently under the eyes of all the factions. The aura emitted from Emerald Lady's body was still lingering in the world, but she was no longer there.
The major factions present were not fools. They knew very well that this situation had occurred because an expert had used some special method to take Emerald Lady away. The power in the snowflakes didn't come from Emerald Lady, and it most likely didn't come from a faerie. Otherwise, the aura would not be so murderous. The moment the snowflake released its aura, everyone present had a feeling that if they did not dodge the aura released by the snowflake, they would definitely be frozen by it. Its aura had already surpa.s.sed the level that everyone present could imagine.
Emerald Lady was taken away by an expert in this way. Everyone present had no intention of continuing the fight. Without sufficient benefits, all battles were meaningless. However, it was clearly too late for the people from the major factions to escape.
