512 Wavering (1/2)

The Merlin Family obtained unfathomable benefits in the recent collaboration and occupied almost 70% of the Ghost Valley, part of which was very suitable for plants, so they had planned to use that area to grow some medicinal herbs. There were also over ten rich ore veins, and each of them represented unimaginable wealth. More importantly, the resources of the Ghost Valley were almost inexhaustible.

Both the ore veins and medicinal herbs had all been born from the dense mana, and now, the Ghost Valley's mana density was more than three times what it had originally been. Just in the recent period, the Merlin Family had sent over ten Great Alchemists to form a team to check for ore veins, and in a few areas, they found some faintly shining rocks, which were signs of even more ore veins being formed.

This was the first time Lin Yun had walked around the area again after thoroughly controlling the Ghost Valley. He really hadn't been able to find the time before, but he had now finally finished dealing with many major things at once.

Once the Thawing Fire Tribe was annihilated, the Merlin Family and the Black Tower split up the Ghost Valley and the four forts. The Black Tower was actually very generous regarding the four forts, which hadn't been discussed in the agreement, letting the Merlin Family choose two of them.

At that time, Lin Yun realized that his unplanned move had brought huge benefits to the Merlin Family. With the addition of the two forts, the Merlin Family now occupied five forts, which covered half of the northeastern part of the Raging Flame Plane. There weren't many forces that had more land than the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane. There should only be the two giants, the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower.

In other words, the Merlin Family, which had been in the middle of the pack in the Raging Flame Plane, had left the other forces far behind...

Such huge changes happened in a mere three months...

And these changes brought significant benefits to the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane. It would inevitably snowball and greatly increase the influence of the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane.

After two more hours, Lin Yun finished his tour of the Ghost Valley and ultimately returned to the Demon Contract area. There, the fifty High Mages and the three Merlin Cousins were still meditating.

As for the Draconic Beastman, Xiuban...

Even if he wanted to meditate, he would find it very difficult. Otherwise, Lin Yun wouldn't have given him the Soul of the Ancient Tree, the Meditation Law Set that didn't require meditation to accumulate mana. During that time, Xiuban seemed to have spent most of his time sleeping. Even now, Xiuban could be seen lying on his back, sunbathing. There were strange runes flickering all over his body, and minute changes were happening to his power all the time. Without Lin Yun's Magic Array, these changes would be very hard to notice.

Xiuban was already a genuine Peak 9th Rank Expert Swordsman with one foot in the Sword Saint Realm. Lin Yun's mouth twitched as he looked at Xiuban. 'He wouldn't be sleeping his way to the Sword Saint rank, right?'

As he thought about it, he felt that it might actually be possible.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Soon after, his eyes fell on William's group and he instantly felt surprised. Through these familiar mana fluctuations, he was able to accurately assess that these young Merlins were now standing at the peak of the High Mage realm. All of them were Peak 9th Rank High Mages!

He hadn't expected the three of them to progress so fast.

As for those fifty High Mages, although their progress wasn't as exaggerated as William's group, their strength also greatly increased. Most of them were now between the 2nd and 3rd Ranks.

Sensing the familiar mana fluctuations, William was suddenly roused from his meditation and he instantly looked at the newly appearing silhouette. ”Cousin Mafa, you came back…”

”Yes…” Lin Yun nodded. He started to speak, when he suddenly remembered something and waved at William. ”Cousin William, there is something I need to trouble you with…”

”Eh?” William was surprised, but he quickly reacted and waved his hands. ”No problem, no problem…”

”It's like this…” Lin Yun thought for a moment before fishing out a stack of paper from his pocket, seemingly wrapping something inside and handing it to William.

”This…”

William seemed a bit unsure at first, but his expression greatly changed when he opened a corner of the paper. He looked at Lin Yun and said, ”Cousin Mafa, this can't really be…”

”Go quickly, and return fast.” Lin Yun faintly smiled, not explaining anything.

...

At this time, in the Flame Demon Fort's meeting room, a meeting was underway. Thorne, as a Commander, would periodically summon some high-ranking members of the Planar Legion to discuss all kinds of problems. Naturally, the final decision would belong to Thorne.

But the atmosphere in the meeting room was weird today.

The few officers of the Planar Legion could clearly feel that their Commander was absent-minded as he heard their reports. During the discussions, he also remained silent. They didn't know what had happened, but they found that Thorne seemed to have a lot on his mind these days.

”Alright, Let's finish here today...” After heavily hitting the table, Thorne let out a gloomy voice. He watched as the officers left until he was the last person in the meeting room. He let out a long sigh while massaging his temples, but he couldn't clear out the haze shrouding his mind.
