Listen paused for a moment and said, “I think we should be able to find the flesh of the high-grade marine dimensional lifeform you wanted before in this sea market.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. He took a mask engraved with the pattern of the majestic sky city out of the Diamond fey storage box and put it on his face before saying, “The Zheng family should make a move on you on the night you return.

“Big Brother Liu and I will visit you early the next morning at the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's old mansion, and you'll take us to the Indigo Azure Sea Market.”

As soon as Lin Yuan said that, the Mother of Bloodbath, Endless Summer, and Liu Jie all put a strange mask engraved with the pattern of clouds on their faces.

At that moment, the eyes behind Lin Yuan's mask displayed a sharpness that had never been shown before.

It was time for the Sky City, which had never shown itself before, to appear in the ears of the major factions.

In a study room with various Platinum feys and plants, a middle-aged man with sinister eyes was standing in front of the table.

All of a sudden, he viciously kicked at the youth who was kneeling on the ground with the same sinister eyes as him and snarled, “How did I, Zheng Jiangliu, have a son as stupid as you!”

The youth who the middle-aged man had kicked lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

At that moment, an old man standing beside the middle-aged man heartbreakingly glanced at the youth and said, “Master, Wenbo already knows his mistake. Besides, an expert who can kill Elder Niu without any surge is at least an emperor-cla.s.s one. It's useless for you to blame Wenbo.”

The old man's back was straight, and he spoke with a cedar-like aura.

When the youth on the ground heard the old man's words, he hurriedly said, “Father, listen to what Grandpa Jiao said. If an emperor-cla.s.s expert really attacked Elder Niu, what could I have done?

“Besides, I told Elder Niu to attack Listen because you said that you have Second Young Master's support on your side, and I wanted to quickly complete the mission you gave me.

“This is so that our third lineage's hard work can finally be paid for after so many years!”

When the sinister-eyed middle-aged man, Zheng Jiangliu, heard that his son was able to talk so much and find so many excuses, he actually wanted to send another kick. Nonetheless, he held back when he heard the later part.

The Zheng family's third lineage had constantly been collecting the near-sh.o.r.e coastal resources for several years but had not dared to really develop the resources.

This had also led to the suppression of the Zheng family's third lineage by the other three lineages.

The reason that his son had let Elder Niu attack Listen was to allow the third lineage to have complete control over Indigo Azure City's near-sh.o.r.e coastal resources as soon as possible. He would also have done the same himself.

However, Elder Niu's death had caused the third lineage to have one less pinnacle king-cla.s.s expert. Moreover, Elder Niu was also good at scouting among the pinnacle king-cla.s.s experts. Such an ability was very useful to a faction.

Such a loss was more heartbreaking to Zheng Jiangliu than simply losing a peak king-cla.s.s expert.

Zheng Jiangliu glanced at his son on the ground with a lowered head and asked with a snort, “Do you have an understanding of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's background?”

Zheng Wenbo froze for a moment when he heard his father's question but shook his head and answered, “The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce has no background. If it did, how could it have been played by the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce?

“Their online and offline resources have been devoured without any ground to fight back.”

Even after thinking all the way back to Indigo Azure City from the Royal Capital, Zheng Wenbo didn't think that Elder Niu had died at the hands of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

Although Zheng Wenbo vaguely remembered that Bi Chenghu and Bi Chengxiong of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had told him that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had found a backer, he felt that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was lying.

Otherwise, Bi Chenghu and Bi Chengxiong would have suffered a calamity long ago, and it wouldn't have been Elder Niu's turn.

When Zheng Jiangliu heard his son's words, he knew that his son had done nothing on the trip to the Royal Capital.

The pinnacle king-cla.s.s expert by his side had died, yet he didn't even know who he had offended. Elder Niu had really died in vain!

“Listen has returned to Indigo Azure City from the Royal Capital. He's now in the former old mansion of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

“The person I sent there three hours ago has not returned yet.

“Listen, however, is still alive and well!”

Zheng Jiangliu's words made Zheng Wenbo's pupils shrink.

So Elder Niu had actually died at the hands of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

However, no matter how Zheng Wenbo thought about it, he couldn't understand how the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had such ability. Why did they have to endure the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce's trampling?

However, all the facts were there, and Zheng Wenbo had to believe them.

The old man with a straight back suddenly said, “Master, why don't you let me test how strong this Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce is?”

As he spoke, the old man's cedar-like aura became even stronger, and it carried an indefinable sense of sharpness that was extremely difficult to distinguish.

Zheng Jiangliu hurriedly replied, “Uncle Jiao, there's no need to trouble you. Your main fey, the Cold Snow Pine, is now faintly about to break through to Myth II and take its human form.

“Don't let these trivial matters delay your main fey from going to endure the upcoming World Cleansing.”

As Zheng Jiangliu spoke, he had a more sinister look in his eyes.

The old man with a straight back responded, “Master, if we can't take down the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's shallow near-sh.o.r.e sea before the dimensional rift's revolt, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it to Second Young Master.”

When Zheng Jiangliu heard the word 'Second Young Master', his sinister gaze revealed scruples and plans.

Zheng Jiangliu answered in a deep voice, “Since Second Young Master's side wants to have 50% of our third lineage's shallow near-sh.o.r.e sea, I think Second Young Master won't stay by and do nothing if I have difficulties.”

Lin Yuan was currently sitting side by side with Liu Jie in a special guesthouse and eating the special barbecued seafood.

At that moment, a message notification appeared on Lin Yuan's cell phone. Lin Yuan took a look at his cell phone and found that it was as he had expected.

The Zheng family had sent another king-cla.s.s expert to a.s.sa.s.sinate Listen.

There were just less than five days from the next dimensional rift riot period, leaving Lin Yuan not much time to explore the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's shallow near-sh.o.r.e sea.

For Lin Yuan, the easiest way to explore the shallow near-sh.o.r.e sea was to have Red Thorn spread the sea of flowers underwater.

The sea of flowers spread by Red Thorn's ortet was equivalent to a part of Red Thorn's body. Lin Yuan could completely use it as his eyes to explore the shallow near-sh.o.r.e sea.
