Chapter 1276: Comparison Between Brothers

When Shadow was facing off against targets like the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly, it would be grievously hurt by being rebuffed by the shield even before it managed to land a hit on its target.

This seriously limited the attacking range of Shadow’s sacred absolute.

“Shadow, you gained a new method of attacking with this sacred absolute, and it will definitely be effective during battle. I’m going to continue testing my ability now!”

Once again, Lin Yuan used Faith Gift or Robbery on Shadow. But this time, he used the robbery part of the ability.

When Lin Yuan used the ability, a giant silhouette of faith power appeared behind the mermaid that Lin Yuan had transformed into.

When the amber silhouette and Lin Yuan pointed at Shadow, the latter realized that it could no longer control its faith power.

When Lin Yuan used the robbery part of Faith Gift or Robbery, he did not take back the faith power he had injected into Shadow. This meant that Lin Yuan could use his faith power to keep Apostles trapped at below-average and cause them to lose control of their faith power.

This was basically the same as lowering an Apostle’s life rank back to a dimensional lifeform.

Moreover, given the strength of Lin Yuan’s faith power, he would be able to suppress Apostles with stronger faith power than below-average. This ability had significant strategic significance for Lin Yuan as he continued to expand into the different dimensional worlds.

After testing Faith Gift or Robbery, Lin Yuan released his control over Shadow’s faith power while retrieving the faith power he had injected into its body.

…

Shadow would be able to replenish its depleted faith power, but Lin Yuan could not.

Thus, he could not use up his faith power carelessly to strengthen the faith power of his Apostles.

Shadow, Rising Lizard, Wendy, and White Pavilion should depend on themselves to strengthen their faith power while using him should be reserved as secret weapons to be used against powerful opponents.

White Speak had decided to follow him because it believed that he was a Dictator and that Dark Blue’s Faith Water was his dictator’s prize.

As long as Lin Yuan was careful not to expose himself and allow White Speak to realize that he was not actually a Dictator, White Speak was the strongest combat power he possessed.

He would be able to use Faith Gift or Robbery to strengthen White Speak’s faith power to its maximum extent to reach the pinnacle of what Apostles could achieve.

If he helped White Speak, he would even be able to challenge the Marsh East Palace in the Marsh East Circle.

Lin Yuan badly wanted the sacred source lifeforms in the Marsh East Palace.

After handing a ball of Faith Water to Shadow, he left the marsh world.

…

In Miao Zhenshan’s study, Miao Zhuo and Miao He sat on either side of Miao Zhenshan as they reported to him.

As Miao Zhenshan listened to Miao Zhuo’s report, he nodded with satisfaction.

It was undeniable that Miao Zhenshan preferred Miao Zhuo over Miao He. However, Miao Zhuo’s soul was injured, which prevented him from becoming a Class 4 Creation Master.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to make the others accept Miao Zhuo as the next family leader.

Ever since Miao Zhenshan singled out Miao He, the latter no longer wasted his days away and started taking things seriously.

However, Miao He clearly lacked some of the deviousness and bravery that Miao Zhuo had.

Miao Zhenshan asked Miao Zhuo, “Zhuo, how high of a chance do you think that Sky City will help the Sea Bliss Clan with their blood fight ultimate fight against us?”

Miao Zhuo knew that his grandfather had been bothered by this problem over the past few days.

Miao Zhenshan had decided of his own accord to issue the blood pact ultimate fight challenge to the Sea Bliss Clan. Hence, he definitely did not think that Sky City would help the Sea Bliss Clan.

However, Miao Zhuo did not say what his grandfather wanted to hear as it would only bring his father temporary joy. It would also be impractical, and his grandfather would think of him as a shortsighted person when he failed.

After thinking for some time, Miao Zhuo felt he needed to give his grandfather some form of warming, even if the warning might displease his grandfather.

“Grandfather, I think we need to be on our guard against Sky City. It would be unsurprising if Sky City came after us for revenge after we helped the Zheng family with their blood pact ultimate fight against Sky City.”

Miao Zhenshan frowned and turned to ask Miao He, “He, what do you think?”

Miao He chortled maniacally to himself after listening to what Miao Zhuo said.

Why is Miao Zhuo setting up more roadblocks for Grandfather at such a time? Grandfather was the one who decided to go ahead with the blood pact ultimate fight. By saying this, he might as well slap Grandfather across the face.

“Grandfather, you’ve thoroughly investigated the matter of the Aurora pollen. The Sea Bliss Clan started their scheme regarding the Aurora pollen long ago, and Condense Fairy Orchard’s Sun Ningxiang is also personally involved.

“Condense Fairy Orchard is on good terms with Sky City. But at the same time, Condense Fairy Orchard is also at odds with the Sea Bliss Clan. There’s no reason for Sky City to help the Sea Bliss Clan by this logic.

“Moreover, we placed many spies in the Sea Bliss Clan decades ago. It’s possible that the Sea Bliss Clan discovered one or two of them over the years, but we placed more than 20 spies there. All the news they sent back says that Sky City rejected the Sea Bliss Clan’s plea for help.

“The Sea Bliss Clan’s internal situation is a mess now, and Qi Hend has started settling matters his way. It seems that he wants to drag Qi Wangyang down from his position as the leader of the Sea Bliss Clan and replace him with Qi Haitao instead. Obviously, he has gone mad. I think that Big Brother’s words came from a place of fear.”

Miao Zhuo decided not to rebuff Miao He and chose to ignore him.

Miao Zhenshan did not reply, so Miao Zhuo knew that his grandfather was still unconvinced by either side.

Miao Zhenshan grandfather was playing a dangerous game of chess. It was so perilous that he was not even able to trust either Miao Zhuo or Miao He with certainty.

“Grandfather, if you’re still worried, I can ask Lord Lin Yuan to look into the matter, or you can go to Whale Ocean Commerce. Whale Ocean Commerce has already settled their deal with us. There’s no way they’ll deny a request for help from us now. With an immortal expert on our side, we won’t have to be afraid even if Sky City does decide to help the Sea Bliss Clan.”

Miao Zhuo’s words struck Miao Zhenshan deeply.

But eventually, he decided to take one final gamble and placed his bet that Sky City would not help the Sea Bliss Clan with their blood pact ultimate fight.

If his gamble fell through, he still had enough time to seek help from the Moon Empress’ disciple or Whale Ocean Commerce. Either way, he would have to owe one of them a favor. As such, there was no need for him to take preventive measures.
