Chapter 10 Another Speculation About the True Certain Team
Was the Silver Prosperity team not the strongest team today because they were afraid of offending others and thus dared not speak up?
However, Lian Yun believed that as long as he was willing to act, he could certainly rally a group of more than ten teams together.
Indeed, while Silver Prosperity might find it difficult, it was not something they couldn't achieve if they truly wanted to.
Moreover, was Silver Prosperity really a good person?
It should be noted that when he was in the high-rise, he actively named Zhu Yang as the one who framed him, and before reaching the high-rise, he almost attributed the credit for reporting to Zhou Tong and the Ten People team.
This might have been merely a way to protect himself, but it could also be seen as a diversion of blame.
If Lian Yun's team was not strong enough, they might suffer from schemes by other teams.
“Silver Prosperity, gather other teams to protect those weaker teams! We must give this benevolent Young Master Lin an explanation!” Elder Yin sighed as he watched the backs of Lian Yun and his companions.
In Elder Yin's eyes, the thirty or so incredibly powerful individuals like Zhou Tong, Murong Ying, and Huang Wenjie willingly referred to Lian Yun as their master or young master. Coupled with Lian Yun's two fierce companions, the Fierce Soldier and the Ghost Slave, this undoubtedly indicated that Lian Yun might be a core member of a prominent family.
And this young master from a prominent family actually sympathized with weaker teams, which suggested that Lian Yun truly had a kind heart.
Elder Yin spoke loudly on purpose; even after he finished speaking, he did not look at Lian Yun's team. However, when he caught a glimpse of Lian Yun turning back, he secretly rejoiced.
In Elder Yin's view, with Lian Yun's kindness, he would surely develop a favorable impression of him, making future encounters much more pleasant.
But was reality truly so?
Previously, when the Middle-Aged Man with the Yin Surname appeared, Silver Prosperity’s father, Silverman, had been running around informing others about the impending arrival of the Evil Tide. Yet when he himself failed to reach the high-rise in time due to exhaustion, Lian Yun felt no goodwill towards Silver Prosperity and over forty other teams.
Because Lian Yun believed that among those forty-plus teams, there were definitely some individuals whose abilities surpassed ordinary people. They absolutely had the capability to save Silverman, but they simply would not allow him to survive.
There existed a significant disparity between a savior and the savior's son.
If Silverman were still alive, not only would there be these forty teams, but many more as well. Often, it would not just be about maintaining the Silver Prosperity Group; it would be about protection.
However, without Silverman, the Silver Prosperity Group would merely be maintained out of a sense of duty. Many times, they could take the opportunity to refrain from participating in the affairs of Silver Prosperity.
Moreover, if Silverman was considered the savior of the entire East District's resident teams, he could likely unite numerous teams to form the East District's foremost Major Power—one that no other forces could resist.
Most leaders of the teams would certainly not want to see this.
Thus, when Silverman traveled throughout the East District to warn of the impending Evil Spirit Tide, it signified that he would likely not survive beyond it.
Even if Silverman could ascend to high ground, he would inevitably be assassinated before the Evil Spirit Tide returned to dissipate.
This is the nature of humanity within Fengdu.
Lian Yun had witnessed much and understood that his speculations, even if somewhat off from the truth, were unlikely to be far from it.
How then could Lian Yun develop any fondness for Elder Yin?
As for Elder Yin's willingness to assist those weaker teams, it did provide Lian Yun with some comfort.
In the end, Lian Yun observed Silver Prosperity's actions, which inexplicably pleased Zhou Tong.
It seemed he believed that although Silver Prosperity informed many teams in the East District about the Evil Spirit Tide, the credit should belong to his team.
Even now, while the helpers were Silver Prosperity and Elder Yin along with many other teams, the credit still belonged to Lian Yun.
This way, he would have opportunities in the future to recruit many capable individuals.
Although the people in Fengdu are almost devoid of Benevolence and Righteousness, it is merely because they are situated in Fengdu.
There are no experts above the King level here; everyone is below that rank, which leads most people to act recklessly and do as they please.
However, outside of Fengdu, things are different. Not only are there Kings, but also Monarchs and alliances, making the dangers and restrictions significantly greater.
In many ways, the area outside of Fengdu is a thousand times more perilous than within it.
Those who have experienced the treachery of human nature will naturally strive to restrain themselves and endure when they step outside of Fengdu.
Therefore, under certain conditions of benefit, Zhou Tong believes that these people would not dare to engage in any outrageous behavior.
However, Lian Yun did not think too much about it. The Evil Spirit Tide had passed for over ten minutes, and catching up would not be easy.
What was even more challenging was ensuring the safety of their team members.
After all, the Evil Spirit Tide contained flying Evil Spirits, and getting too close to the tail end could result in an attack from them.
Thus, while Lian Yun hurried forward, he had to remain extremely cautious.
After walking for a few minutes, Lian Yun suddenly asked, "Zhou Tong, Sister Murong, have you seen that team led by True Certain?"
"No!"
The two responded simultaneously, and then their expressions darkened just like Lian Yun's.
"There is still a third possibility!" Zhou Tong said solemnly.
Lian Yun and Murong Ying both nodded in agreement.
Without the presence of the True Certain team, there are two possibilities: either they have been destroyed by the Evil Tide or the Evil Spirit Tide, or they are still alive.
If they are still alive, there are many possibilities to consider.
First, there are the two previous speculations by Lian Yun, with the likelihood of an Artifact controlling Spirits being greater. It now appears that this Artifact possesses strong concealment and defensive capabilities, making it undetectable by Evil Spirits and impervious to their attacks.
If it is not an Artifact, then a third possibility arises: the True Certain may be a Human Slave controlled by Spirits, and his entire team could be a Demon Clan team.
This would explain why they continuously lure and kill humans.
Now, they have escaped from their controlled Human Slaves and joined the Evil Tide, making it impossible to discern their fate.
Compared to those who possess the ability to control Yokai without being kings, Lian Yun and her companions felt that this third possibility was more plausible and reasonable.
"Should we go take a look?" Surprisingly, the question came from one of the other members who usually did not interrupt Lian Yun's discussions. Ye, the Moe Girl, seemed to be curious as well.
However, Zhou Tong shook his head with a sly smile and said, "No need. If they are Demon Clan, they hold no significance for us. If it aligns with Young Master Yun's first speculation, then it is likely a base with extremely strong defensive capabilities."
"That Demon Clan team will surely return. In the future, we just need to lure them out and eliminate them to seize that base, which could serve as an excellent place for training our organization members."
