Chapter 1253: How Can You Be So Shameless?
Lin Yuan’s jaw dropped.
Wait! Shiny is my fey, so we’re family now. That notion makes me come across as dumb.
Lin Yuan coughed and instructed Shiny to eat the rest of the dragon lungs and phoenix blood.
When Shiny was done eating the dragon lungs and phoenix blood, Lin Yuan returned it to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Shiny was large and could not change its form. Unless it reached Myth II and changed into human form, Lin Yuan felt that he would not be able to summon it any other time besides during battle.
When he left the breeding room and returned to his room, he took a bath and snuggled in for a good night’s sleep.
But in the deep stillness of the night, the Sea Bliss Clan was in a complete mess.
Every main member of the Sea Bliss Clan sat fearfully in the meeting room.
The Spirit Guards had sent word that the Miao family had just requested a blood pact ultimate fight with the Sea Bliss Clan for the third time.
According to the ultimate fighting ground rules, the blood pact ultimate fight would automatically go ahead after one party made three requests.
…
Ever since Qi Haitao and Qi Wangyang angered Lin Yuan at Sky City’s private faction territory, they had lost all hope.
They also blamed themselves for being too ignorant and greedy and not offering all of the Sea Bliss Clan’s resources in exchange for a chance at survival.
Qi Haitao and Qi Wangyang clung to a thread of hope.
They had heard that the Young Liege of Midnight Palace had been refusing to see the Miao family ever since the incident at the Guard Ye Banquet.
The Miao family had tried to gain favor with the Young Liege many times but were all shot down and chased out by the Spirit Guards before they even had a chance to meet him.
…Moreover, a blood pact ultimate fight could only go through with the agreement of both the ultimate fighting ground and the Spirit Guards.
Qi Wangyang felt that given the Young Liege of the Midnight Palace’s attitude toward the Miao family, it was unlikely that the Spirit Guards would agree to let the blood pact ultimate fight go through.
But now, the Spirit Guards had already sent word. which meant that the last hope they placed in Sky City had also been dashed.
This was the first time that Qi Wangyang felt so close to death.
All the main members of the Sea Bliss Clan were silent and looking up at him with retracted necks.
Anger intermingled with despair in the pits of Qi Wangyang’s stomach.
His fear set his fury alight, and he furiously banged his hand on the table before bellowing, “Each and every one of you only want to drain money from me! You’ll come and pester me for rewards whenever you achieve something small. But now that we’re on the brink of death, why are all of you so quiet? What happened to all your bravado when you’re asking me for resources?”
Qi Wangyang was still boiling with rage when an elderly man said, “I’ve been working in the Sea Bliss Clan for about five years, but I’m just one of the pinnacle Class 3 Creation Masters you hired. From today onward, I would like to dissolve our employment relationship.”
The elderly man’s words made the words that were rising in Qi Wangyang’s throat stop short, and Qi Wangyang started to splutter violently.
He glared at the elderly man as he coughed.
If his eyes held any power, the elderly man would be dead by now.
Qi Wangyang screamed internally.
What the hell? How can you be so shameless? This old man was acting devotedly loyal to me when we were breaking into the offshore islands. He even promised to serve the Sea Bliss Clan for the rest of his life in exchange for 3% of the island’s shares.
Not only did I give him what he wanted, but he’s also taken a considerable amount of resources from the Sea Bliss Clan during his time here. I was also the one who provided the resources to evolve his fey to Myth Breed. But now, he says he’s only a Creation Master that the Sea Bliss Clan hired. Damn you. He probably used more resources than the Zheng family’s own Creation Masters!
After his coughing fit subsided, Qi Wangyang prepared himself to give the elderly man a good scolding when the elderly man went on to say, “Leader, you can’t blame me. I have to continue living. You failed to ask Sky City for help and won’t be able to defeat Connected Beast Park during the blood pact ultimate fight. I wasn’t supportive of you targeting Connected Beast Park in the first place. Your decision ruined this family’s future!”
Many Class 1, 2, and 3 Creation Masters sounded out their assent.
Even a Class 1 Creation Master would be able to receive respect.
Thus, no Creation Master was willing to spend their entire life with a faction that they did not have any emotional ties.
Before the meeting started, many hired Creation Masters had decided they wanted to leave the Sea Bliss Clan.
However, the low-class Creation Masters were afraid that the Sea Bliss Clan would do something risky without strong group support during this desperate circumstance.
Now that an emperor-class pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master that had a Myth Breed fey had spoken, it would be a good segway to voice the other Creation Masters’ intention of leaving the Sea Bliss Clan.

If Qi Wangyang forced them to stay in the Sea Bliss Clan, the only future they had was death.
When Connected Beast Park defeated the Sea Bliss Clan in the blood pact ultimate fight and took over their resources, the Sea Bliss Clan’s Class 4 Creation Masters, who were willing to offer their loyalty, would be accepted by Connected Beast Park.
This was also a rule of the blood pact ultimate fight. Besides the faction’s high-class Creation Masters, the hired high-class Creation Masters were usually allowed to live.
However, this was not the case for Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters.
If the Sea Bliss Clan was taking on another veteran faction in the blood pact ultimate fight, the other veteran faction might be willing to accept the Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters.
However, Connected Beast Park was a top faction that specialized in Creation Master resources, and it did not make sense for them to nurture low-class Creation Masters.
Thus, the hired Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters would probably be seen as burdens and eliminated by Connected Beast Park.

With so many Creation Masters riding on the elderly man’s train, Qi Wangyang started to tremble with rage.
It was said that the sailors would abandon the ship once the captain was ruined. However, the Sea Bliss Clan had not been ruined yet, but the Creation Masters were already ready to abandon ship.
How dare they?
Qi Wangyang’s anger overtook his fear, and his gaze glinted evilly.
Qi Wangyang stopped Qi Haitao who was about to stand.
He allowed the elderly man to lead the Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters as they continued to cause a din.
