Chapter 2017 - 2017 He is He?

2017 He is He?

As Yang Sijie looked at the members of the Su and Bai families who had green branches growing out of them and were already reduced to bones, his pupils immediately contracted.

Yang Sijie remembered that his father had checked on the Holy Lady’s power and confirmed that she was only at intermediate Immortal. His father was more powerful than her.

This was why the Divine Wood Federation had agreed to maintain a working relationship with the Holy Lady for so long.

Otherwise, there was no way that the Yang family would allow a power that they could not control to insert itself in the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court.

!!

But it was clear that the Holy Lady was releasing an aura that surpassed intermediate Immortal. Her aura was even more concentrated than that of his father.

The gears in Yang Sijie’s head started turning.

Could it be that the Holy Lady had been hiding her power all this time? Or did the Holy Lady’s power only increase during this opening of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm?

The more he thought about it, the more he leaned toward the former.

All the factions in the Divine Wood Federation could obtain plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline.

All of the feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline had the same aura as the Holy Lady, except that the Holy Lady’s aura was much more concentrated.

Because of this, the Yang family had even held a meeting to discuss the matter.

The members of the Yang family assumed that the Holy Lady had been the one who created the plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline and had done so to trade for Creation Master resources from the outside world.

She opened the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm every decade so that she could maximize the Creation Master resources that the factions from the Divine Wood Federation would be able to provide.

The Holy Lady could have used these resources to quickly increase their power.

Yang Sijie previously felt that the Yang family had no means of taking on the Truth Association.

But after he felt the aura from the Holy Lady, he knew that it was comparable to that of the leader of the Truth Association.

If the Holy Lady could side with the Yang family, they would not have to worry about taking on the Truth Association.

Now that he had this idea, Yang Sijie fell silent for a moment as he thought, There’s no way I can let Father know about this plan of mine. Otherwise, he’ll end me before the Truth Association even has the chance to get to me. Third Brother died because he opposed the idea of the Truth Association entering the imperial court, and Father was the one who had done the deed.

Thus, if he wanted to partner with the Holy Lady, Yang Sijie could only do so secretly.

Suddenly, a thought took shape in his mind.

If I provide the Holy Lady with Creation Master resources, will she become loyal to me? My father is too deep in his belief in the Truth Association and is no longer fit to develop the Yang family any further. Why don’t I make use of the Holy Lady’s power to replace him?

This thought sank its claws into Yang Sijie and occupied the entirety of his mind.

As a result, Yang Sijie’s attitude toward the Holy Lady changed significantly.

Previously, Yang Sijie had just been polite to the Holy Lady. But now, his tone was full of flattery.

The change in Yang Sijie’s tone was noticed by Lin Yuan, Ding Chengshuo, and the rest of the members of the Divine Wood Federation’s factions.

Lin Yuan looked at Begin Lady and knew that it was the one that had instructed the Holy Lady on what to do. Otherwise, the Holy Lady would not have made such a decision on her own.

Lin Yuan and Red Thorn’s bloodlines were connected. He had fed Red Thorn with his own blood to get Red Thorn to germinate.

Since their bloodlines were connected, Red Thorn was able to sense what he was thinking.

This was likely the same for Begin Lady and the Holy Lady.

When Begin Lady saw Lin Yuan looking at it, it communicated with Lin Yuan through its mind, “When I set my spirit fire alight, I absorbed Su Jian and Bai Dong’s souls. As such, I gained an understanding of the spirit qi professional society. The internal affairs of the Divine Wood Federation are a mess. As such, I pushed Little Peach to make contact with the Yang family. This way, she should be able to help you with the first-hand information she receives.”

In Begin Lady’s mind, power was everything.

But after absorbing Su Jian and Bai Dong’s souls, she learned that there were times when strategy needed to cooperate with power to achieve more than what power could do on its own.

Begin Lady had already decided to follow Lin Yuan. It could use its power to protect Lin Yuan as well as bring Lin Yuan’s plans to fruition.

When Lin Yuan was communicating with Begin Lady, the members of Sacred Forest City’s factions were swept up in waves of astonishment.

Besides the strange phenomena in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, the outside world had changed completely after their short romp into the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.

Any faction member with strategic abilities and intelligence now looked worried.

Yang Sijie walked over to the Holy Lady and invited her to travel with him.

Before he left, Yang Sijie shot a pointed look in Lin Yuan’s direction.

For some reason, he found Lin Yuan familiar.

Since he was standing next to Ding Chengshuo, he should be a junior of the Ding family.

Yang Sijie had never seen any of the Ding family’s juniors.

However, how could a junior of the Ding family have such an elite aura?

But Yang Sijie did not think too much about it. He felt that the most important matter on hand was the Holy Lady.

In order for him to protect the Holy Lady’s ego, Yang Sijie ordered the dark-blue-vine-armor-wearing guards from the imperial court to disperse and not put the members of the factions who had just left the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm on the spot.

Lin Yuan led Begin Lady and Ding Chengshuo to Sky Creation’s tree castle.

The members of Sacred Forest City’s factions all rushed home as well to report what had just happened within the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.

Lin Yuan’s tree castle was the only place untouched by the chaotic events.

After bringing the Holy Lady back to the imperial court and preparing a platter of fruits for her, a thought suddenly struck Yang Sijie just as he was about to discuss his partnership with the Holy Lady.

Yang Sijie finally knew why he found that young man standing next to Ding Chengshuo to be so strange.

The young man had the same aura as Young Master Chu of Sky Creation.

Yang Sijie had noticed that no one besides Young Master Chu had that aura.

When he thought of this, Yang Sijie could no longer sit here. He had to inform his father.

No matter how many wild thoughts formed in his mind, he had to protect the Yang family’s profits first.

Yang Sijie looked at the Holy Lady and said with utmost seriousness, “Holy Lady, did you notice anything strange in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm?”
