Although He Ji had acquiesced, the other Class 3 and 4 Creation Masters had no intention of doing so.
Hence, the situation was still extremely tense.
But without He Ji representing them, the other two Class 4 Creation Masters did not voice out their thoughts.
Clearly, the scales of power in the situation were tipping toward Di Zhanhong.
At this moment, a deep voice said, “Apologies, everyone. Whale Ocean Commerce has been swamped with work because of the test, so we haven’t had the time to provide you with the best conditions. Why don’t you head to the test location with me first? After all of you gather together, we will hold a giant banquet to welcome all of you.”
!!
A tall man with a light gold shirt walked toward the group. He had a pair of phoenix eyes that gave him a sinister look.
However, Lin Yuan could tell that there was a hint of solemness and hesitation in his expression.
Di Zhanhong hastily dipped his head and said, “Second Young Master.”
Di Wancheng waved at Di Zhanhong to dismiss him.
Recently, Di Wancheng had become a hot topic amongst the factions.
Ever since Whale Ocean Commerce exposed Di Wancheng, Whale Ocean Commerce gained the chance to get a leg up on the Cage of Brahma Insects and Rhine Lifeform.
Now that Di Wancheng had gained Immortal power, the Class 3 Creation Masters had no choice but to back down.
He Ji was the only one who had the right to talk to Di Wancheng as an equal, but she was intentionally remaining silent now.
Hence, the resistant Creation Masters also lost the courage to fight back.
Di Wancheng started by nodding to He Ji before he walked over to greet her.
During this time, his gaze landed on Lin Yuan, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
Lin Yuan’s aura was indeed special. However, Di Wancheng could sense that Lin Yuan was only a B-rank spirit qi professional and was not capable of making any significant waves.
Di Wancheng could see through Lin Yuan immediately because he had asked the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to stop blocking his grade.
If Di Wancheng could not see through him, he would definitely become suspicious.
When Lin Yuan thought that Di Wancheng was about to turn his gaze away, Di Wancheng said, “Did you say that you’re good friends with Feng? He has been laying low alongside the other Elders of Sea Sky Nurture for over a decade. You were probably just a young child ten years ago.”
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan replied with a smile, “The friendships you make in your youth are the deepest. I remember that Di Hao once announced his friendship with Ji Feng on Star Web. Unfortunately, I can’t compete with their friendship since they were able to see each other over the last ten years.”
When Lin Yuan mentioned Di Hao, Di Wancheng’s expression changed. Lin Yuan noticed this.
Di Wancheng looked at Lin Yuan as though he was looking at a dead man and said to the crowd, “Follow me. This test is so important that we built a special location for it. When you enter through the underground palace, stay neatly lined up and don’t make too much noise.”
If Di Zhanhong had been the one who said this, the Class 2 and 3 Creation Masters would have immediately been displeased.
However, it was Di Wancheng who had spoken.
Lin Yuan decided that he would blend in with the crowd.
But just as he was about to join the group of moving bodies, He Ji grabbed his wrist and whispered into his ear, “Walk next to me. You’re from Whale Ocean Commerce, right?”
Lin Yuan’s lips twitched, but he immediately realized why He Ji had come to such a conclusion.
He remembered that he had been on the same Floating Light Wings Crane as He Ji.
It had been evident that the greeter attendant and the Floating Light Wings Crane’s rider had been playing good cop and bad cop. When this plan did not work, they needed someone to pretend to take advantage of the situation to enable Whale Ocean Commerce to reach its goal.
Lin Yuan should be the mole planted amongst the crowd who would help Whale Ocean Commerce when things were not going their way.

However, Lin Yuan had done all this to achieve his goal, and the results were coincidental.
Naturally, Lin Yuan could not tell He Ji about this. He did not nod, nor did he deny it. Instead, he cupped his hands together and followed her submissively.
This caused a wave of anger to bubble up within He Ji, and it almost erupted. She felt as though this young man next to her was like a brick wall that was impossible to get through.
Soon, Di Wancheng led the group to the underground palace that was built in the mountain behind Whale Ocean Commerce.
This underground palace looked similar to the one in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
This was because Whale Ocean Commerce could also afford to instruct the Spirit Craftsmen to use Suzerain metal-type and spatial-type spiritual ingredients to turn the basement into a cage that was blocked off from the world. No one on the surface would be aware of what happened inside the basement.
Di Wancheng opened the door to the basement with one hand.
Lin Yuan immediately caught a whiff of the faint odor of decay.
Creation Masters were very used to this stink because many spiritual ingredients were more effective after they rotted.
They walked through the door into a long tunnel lined with lanterns containing strange flames. As such, the tunnel was as bright as the surface.
Di Wancheng did not walk in. Rather, he stood by the entrance and watched as all the Creation Masters marched in.
When the last Creation Master stepped through the door, Di Wancheng walked in and locked the door behind him.
He smiled like a hungry beast, and the Creation Masters at the back of the line felt a chill go up their spines.
Lin Yuan and He Ji were walking at the front. He lost track of how many flights of stairs he had descended.
He estimated that he had been walking for 20 minutes ever since he entered the tunnel. As for the height, he was at least 800 meters underground now.
As for the height, he was at least 800 meters underground now. This was much deeper than the Return from Faraway Mansion’s basement.
At this moment, an angry cry of desperation screamed, “What has Whale Ocean Commerce done to my grandfather, father, and uncle? Why haven’t I seen them in four days? Why did you have to kill the Class 3 Creation Masters from Four Beasts Territory? Are you trying to end Four Beasts Territory!?”
