Although the Jasmine Lily’s abilities were astonishing, Lin Yuan was not sure if he could use the blind Gourmet and the three Weavers without checking them for himself.

Sun Youcai had already reminded Lin Yuan, so when Lin Yuan said so, Sun Youcai naturally did not refuse.

While Lin Yuan was selecting these Weaver and Gourmets, Sun Yin, who was also in Diverse City, had already come into contact with Traveling Dragon Palace.

Traveling Dragon Palace’s current predicament was extremely obvious. All the members were striving to the utmost to overcome the challenge and working hard for the expansion and development of Traveling Dragon Palace’s factions.

Traveling Dragon Palace only had one backbone, and it was controlled by the Burning Sea Soaring Dragons. This caused Traveling Dragon Palace’s internal affairs to remain undisturbed despite such a huge incident.

If Sun Yin was still a Grade 4 Creator, Traveling Dragon Palace’s attitude toward him in times of trouble would not be as warm as it was now. However, Sun Yin was a Grade 5 Creator, an existence that was enough to be the pillar of a top faction.

If Sun Yin was willing to help Traveling Dragon Palace, there was a chance that the faction would be able to break through the current predicament.

Traveling Dragon Palace’s Great Palace Master was not in Diverse City; he presided over Extreme Wood City.

The Great Palace Master of Traveling Dragon Palace, accompanied by 16 attendants, remained in Extreme Wood City and did not dare to leave. He was afraid that powerful individuals from Gray Smoke Stronghold might attack Traveling Dragon Palace’s branch in Extreme Wood City as soon as they left. The two sides had already clashed a few times with their martial forces, and they no longer cared about their dignity.

After Sun Yin revealed his identity as a Grade 5 Creator, You Di, the Second Palace Master of Traveling Dragon Palace, personally received Sun Yin. It was obvious how much You Di valued Sun Yin.

Sun Yin did not accept You Di’s invitation. Instead, he lowered himself and raised Lin Yuan’s status. “I’m sorry, but I’m accompanying my Young Master to Diverse City. I already have a faction that I’m loyal to, hence I can’t join Traveling Dragon Palace.

“Moreover, Mr. You Di, there are many situations that I don’t have the authority to decide. I need my Young Master to make the decision.”

A Grade 5 Creator came to Diverse City, and this Grade 5 Creator made contact with Traveling Dragon Palace through the Dragon Plum Family. As one of the Palace Masters, You Di naturally harbored many thoughts in his mind. However, You Di did not expect this Grade 5 Creator to have joined another faction as a servant.

If Sun Yin was willing to join Traveling Dragon Palace, let alone a guardian, he could even become a Palace Master there. It was rare for a Grade 5 Creator to be willing to join a faction and submit to the people of that faction.

However, such a situation could prove one thing—the faction that made this Class 5 Creator willingly submit must be extremely powerful. Most likely, this faction was stronger than Traveling Dragon Palace. As for whether it was stronger than Gray Smoke Stronghold in Extreme Wood City, You Di was not sure.

Traveling Dragon Palace’s rush to expand its influence in Extreme Wood City had been a mistake. Extreme Wood City’s veteran faction, Gray Smoke Stronghold, was stronger than Traveling Dragon Palace had imagined.

Furthermore, they were extremely low-key. It was not until Traveling Dragon Palace and Gray Smoke Stronghold had a conflict that they found out that there was a Grade 5 Creator presiding over Gray Smoke Stronghold.

However, Traveling Dragon Palace was stuck there, with resources already invested in Extreme Wood City that could not be taken back.

Initially, Gray Smoke Stronghold refrained from taking action against Traveling Dragon Palace, allowing them to expand their influence without restraint. The purpose was to absorb the resources invested by Traveling Dragon Palace after driving them away.

At present, Traveling Dragon Palace could barely hold on, and if this dragged on, they would definitely lose.

Since inviting Sun Yin to join Traveling Dragon Palace as a guardian was not feasible, You Di immediately changed his direction. “Sir Sun Yin, may I know why your Young Master is heading to Diverse City?

“Although the current situation of my Traveling Dragon Palace is unfavorable and the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall has been casting covetous glances at us, all factions in Diverse City are aware that the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall is merely a subordinate of Traveling Dragon Palace. If your Young Master has something to do in Diverse City, I think our Traveling Dragon Palace can handle them on his behalf.”

You Di had always been straightforward in nature. He did not know Sun Yin before and there was no emotional connection between them. There was naturally no need to engage in that kind of emotional bonding. If he tried to befriend Sun Yin, it would seem too fake. If he wanted to befriend Sun Yin and the Young Master that Sun Yin mentioned, it would be better to express it directly.

Sun Yin must have his own motives for taking the initiative to contact Traveling Dragon Palace through the Dragon Plum Family.

Sun Yin did not immediately respond to You Di. Instead, he said with a faint smile, “The Bizarre Plant Demon Hall is indeed not Traveling Dragon Palace’s match. Traveling Dragon Palace has already proven this in its confrontations with the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

“However, according to what I know, the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall and Gray Smoke Stronghold have been secretly communicating and have become allies. I think it won’t be long before the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall attacks Traveling Dragon Palace. If I were the leader of the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, I would definitely set the time at the upcoming trade fair in Traveling Dragon Palace.

Sun Yin had been communicating with Lin Yuan and obtained some information from him. This information came from Fortune Treasure Palace, they were all confidential information. Sun Yin couldn’t obtain this information from the Dragon Plum Family. Sun Yin did not expect the situation in Diverse City to be so complicated and the seemingly calm city to be filled with undercurrents.

Sun Yin had thought that Lin Yuan would be displeased that he had recommended him to such a place, but he did not expect Lin Yuan to have the intention to participate in this dispute.

This was the main reason Sun Yin came to see You Di. Otherwise, if Sun Yin wanted to participate in Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair, there was no need for him to meet You Di at all. As long as he revealed his identity, Traveling Dragon Palace would take the initiative to invite him.

While the members of the Dragon Plum Family were unaware of the information Sun Yin mentioned, You Di was well aware of it.

You Di looked at Sun Yin and guessed Sun Yin’s intentions. In the end, You Di, who could not tell anything from Sun Yin’s face, said frankly, “That’s right, the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall has indeed contacted Gray Smoke Stronghold in Extreme Wood City. The two sides might have reached a certain cooperation to target our Traveling Dragon Palace. May I know what advice Sir Sun Yin has for me? If you are willing to help our Traveling Dragon Palace get through this crisis, we will be extremely grateful. I hope that you can inform your Young Master of our request. Once Traveling Dragon Palace survives this crisis, we’ll find a way to repay you, no matter what!”

While You Di was speaking these words, he adopted a very humble attitude, indicating his sincere desire to seek help. It would be foolish to adopt an arrogant attitude in front of a Grade 5 Creator as it served no purpose whatsoever. It was best to set aside his pride. Even if he did not get the help he wanted, establishing a good relationship with Sun Yin would still be advantageous.

The worst outcome for Traveling Dragon Palace would be to give up all investments in Extreme Wood City and return to Diverse City. It was equivalent to wasting tens of thousands of years of development.

However, even if Traveling Dragon Palace was at its lowest, it wouldn’t be defeated by the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall in Diverse City. The Bizarre Plant Demon Hall did not have the qualifications to defeat Traveling Dragon Palace. If Traveling Dragon Palace was really so easy to defeat, they would not have suppressed the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall until they almost disappeared from Diverse City in the first place.

Sun Yin had expected You Di to engage in some negotiation, but he was surprised by You Di’s straightforwardness.

Sun Yin said seriously, “It won’t be difficult for my Young Master to help your Traveling Dragon Palace in overcoming this crisis. If he decides to lend a hand, not only can he ensure your Traveling Dragon Palace’s survival and flourishing in Diverse City and Extreme Wood City, but he can also eliminate Gray Smoke Stronghold as an obstacle to your Traveling Dragon Palace.

“However, my Young Master has never been one to engage in unprofitable deals. If he were to help your Traveling Dragon Palace to such an extent, what could you offer in return for my Young Master?”

At this point, Sun Yin coughed twice and continued. “Don’t assume that my Young Master is doing this to target Traveling Dragon Palace. With his capabilities, there’s no need for him to engage in such speculative endeavors. This kind of opportunity isn’t easily obtained. Those struggling factions would be eager for such a chance, yet no one comes to their aid. Now that your Traveling Dragon Palace finally has this opportunity, it is best to seize it!”

With that, Sun Yin did not choose to stay any longer. He left You Di a contact number and prepared to leave. He would wait until You Di had established his bottom line and contact him. Then, he would inform Lin Yuan about You Di’s bottom line and let Lin Yuan make the decision. You Di was a smart person. At this moment, he already understood Sun Yin’s intentions and goals.

You Di believed that the faction behind Sun Yin was extremely powerful, powerful enough to help Traveling Dragon Palace resolve their predicament.

However, the goal of this faction was already extremely obvious. This faction did not seek any benefits from Traveling Dragon Palace. Their sole interest lay in acquiring Traveling Dragon Palace itself. You Di could not make a decision on such a big matter.

You Di solemnly received the communication fey that Sun Yin had given him and spoke respectfully. “Sir Sun Yin, I will contact you before tonight. Regardless of the outcome, our Traveling Dragon Palace hopes to form a deep friendship with you!”

Sun Yin smiled and shook his head. “If your Traveling Dragon Palace is willing to accept my Young Master’s help, we will become a family from now on. If you reject my Young Master’s offer, he won’t say much more.

“Nonetheless, there will be no further communication between us and Traveling Dragon Palace. Even without Traveling Dragon Palace, my Young Master would not mind nurturing another faction in Diverse City. How can a faction with a Grade 6 Creator lack the help of a faction?!”

Sun Yin could see the conflict in You Di’s heart. Before he left, Sun Yin added fuel to the fire and revealed two extremely useful pieces of information. One was that even if Traveling Dragon Palace did not agree, they would support a new faction in Diverse City. When the time came, this new faction supported by Diverse City might form a competitive relationship with Traveling Dragon Palace.

The other was that they had a Grade 6 Creator. It was impossible for Traveling Dragon Palace not to know what benefits they could obtain by relying on a Grade 6 Creator. If Traveling Dragon Palace wasn’t foolish, they would know how to make the right choice.

Especially given Traveling Dragon Palace’s current predicament. With no one to lend support, their plan to expand into Extreme Wood City has failed. Eventually, they might only become a second-rate faction within Diverse City. At that time, perhaps the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall would not be able to suppress Traveling Dragon Palace, but the other factions in Diverse City would.

Sun Yin’s words made You Di’s expression change drastically, especially when he heard the words ‘Grade 6 Creator’. You Di knew very well what a Grade 6 Creator signified. In the entire East Universe, there were only a few Grade 6 Creators after all. No matter which one it was, they were all existences that ruled over a region and suppressed all species.

You Di didn’t believe that Sun Yin would lie about such matters. If Traveling Dragon Palace truly wished to submit to the power behind Sun Yin, any falsehoods Sun Yin uttered would eventually be exposed. After joining the faction, they would immediately be able to sense if this faction had the foundation of a Grade 6 Creator.

After Sun Yin left, You Di couldn’t calm down for a long time. Once he regained his composure, he immediately contacted his elder brother.

You Tao had just finished a meeting that left him both infuriated and powerless. During this meeting, You Tao and the eleven guests from Traveling Dragon Palace discussed the current situation, forcing him to acknowledge the failure of his decisions.

Knowing he was destined to fail, You Tao no longer wanted to struggle. He aimed to maintain dignity, ensuring that Traveling Dragon Palace wouldn’t be disgraced like a homeless dog upon their return to Diverse City. There were no other benefits; as the faction’s leader, You Tao found it difficult to make such decisions directly.

You Tao regretted taking such a big step back then. If he had listened to You Di’s advice and avoided such a bold move, Traveling Dragon Palace would have been much more prestigious in Diverse City now. Even the officials at City Lord Manor would probably have retreated in fear.

Just as You Tao was in a difficult situation and about to take full responsibility, he received a message from You Di.

You Tao’s previous style was almost completely opposite to You Di’s. Back then, You Tao was very dissatisfied with You Di’s conservative approach, but now, he felt that You Di might actually be more suitable to lead Traveling Dragon Palace. Could something have happened in Diverse City for You Di to contact him now?

You Tao had just connected when he heard You Di’s trembling voice. “Brother, I might have found a way to get Traveling Dragon Palace out of this predicament and defeat Gray Smoke Stronghold. However, if we use this method, Traveling Dragon Palace will have to pay the price of freedom. Do you think we should seize this opportunity?”
