Chapter 223 - 223: Blue Star Planet’s Hidden Secrets
Lin Fan slightly knit his brows when he heard this and then he asked, "Is he still alive or not?"
Lord Jin shook his head, "We aren't too sure about that, we just know that this was the last place that he disappeared from. That is why the Beast Clan has been so determined to invade the Blue Star Planet."
This was the reason why the Beast Clan had invaded the Blue Star Planet hundreds of years ago and the reason for their continuous attempts to invade the Blue Star Planet the entire time.
The Beast Clan didn't know if this King of theirs was still alive or not, but if they could recover anything from him, it would definitely be worth invading this small planet.
After all these years, the Blue Star Planet knew nothing about the reason why the Beast Clan had suddenly invaded them. Or at least that was how it was recorded in the history books of the Blue Star Planet.
Of course, for something as important as the legacy of a Beast Clan King, it was something that would definitely warrant a full invasion from the Beast Clan.
For the upper realm to block this invasion, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price, so why would they do that for the Blue Star Planet?
The only logical reason for this was that they knew about the Beast Clan King's legacy as well and they wanted it for themselves, which was why they had come to the defense of the Blue Star Planet. Even going as far as taking it under the flag of the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
Most of the upper stratum of the Blue Star Planet was controlled by a force from the Galactic Humanity Alliance, so they must have some idea. They might even be using these forces to help them find the legacy of the Beast Clan King…
Still, this was all understandable since the Beast Clan King was equal to the ruler of the Stellar Kingdom, which was clearly a realm that ruled over upper realms. Everyone in this cultivation world would try to gain as much power as possible, so the upper realm and Beast Clan tribe fighting over this was all understandable.
But the problem was that Lin Fan was being caught in the middle of this.
Lin Fan then said, "Do you have any clues on where the King could be?"
This time Lord Jin actually had an answer, "Based on the scouts that the Shadow Lord has sent, we've managed to track the King's aura to the Eastern Continent, so we're sure that it's here."
This also explained another strange phenomenon that everyone had been confused about.
Most of the Beast Clan's invasions had been centralized around the Eastern Continent, with a few stray ones appearing on the other continents.
Eventually, everyone just assumed that it was the Eastern Continent that was connected to the Beast Clan's planar cracks which was why most of their invasions came from there. The attacks on the other continents were probably specialized attacks that were much harder for the Beast Clan to use since they would have to forcefully create planar cracks.
But now it seemed like what the Beast Clan was looking for was on the Eastern Continent, which was why their attacks were mainly centralized there.
Lin Fan nodded at this, but he didn't continue on this topic since that was all he needed to know for now. He doubted that Lord Jin would have any more useful information based on the answers he had given and the fact that Lord Jin had turned out to be only a slave for the Shadow Lord.
Lin Fan then said, "Alright, what are you planning on doing now?"
Lord Jin fell into thought when he heard this. He just stood there for a while before looking at the princess for a bit. After this period of thought, he said, "If possible I wish to stay here, but it would probably be better if Yin and I were to go back to keep eyes on the Shadow Lord. The princess is safe here, so I feel assured in leaving."
But Lin Fan definitely wouldn't allow that to happen. Lin Fan had already set his eyes on Lord Jin, how could he let him go that easily?
Lin Fan said, "How about you come work in my store instead? I have a pet shop that I run and I need some people to work in it."
Lord Jin was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head, "No, that wouldn't be possible, it would be too easy for us to be exposed. Moreover, your companions have seen us already, so they will expose us and that will bring danger to you. You'll be exposed as a traitor to humanity if we go with you."
Lin Fan had also considered this and he knew that this was indeed a problem. When he was considering whether he should buy something from the system that would allow them to hide or not, Angela cut in.
"You can just get that old skeleton to teach them a disguise technique that would allow them to hide themselves."
Lin Fan only then remembered Momonga, the Undead King. He was the Lich King who was the crystallization of wisdom, he must have some unique ways to solve this situation.
Lin Fan nodded in response to this and said, "That's right, we have ways to solve this, so are you willing to come with us?"
Lord Jin and Lord Yin hesitantly looked at each other.
In truth, they did want to stay here with the princess to watch over them like they had been entrusted by the princess' parents, but they also didn't want to cause trouble for the person they were counting on to take care of the princess. However, that person himself was saying that there was no problem if they stayed.
They really didn't know what to do in this situation.
While they were worrying over this, Lin Fan was having a conversation with his system.
"System, can I hire them as workers for the store or do I have to level up the store first before I can hire them?"
"Host, these two do not qualify as official workers of the store, so they can be treated as the human workers. You can hire them, but they will not receive any of the benefits that official workers are entitled to."
That was all Lin Fan needed to know.
He was still on the fence about leveling up or upgrading his shop, so he didn't want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Eventually, Lord Jin and Lord Yin came to a decision.
Lord Jin said, "We are willing to stay here and work in your store, but we hope that you understand that our first priority will be the princess."
Lin Fan just revealed a smile and said, "Sure, sure, no problem."
Seeing the smile on Lin Fan's face, Lord Jin and Lord Yin couldn't help feeling a chill run down their back. That was just the effect that Lin Fan's normal smile had on people…
Then Lin Fan suddenly asked, "What are your names?"
Lord Jin and Lord Yin were taken aback by this before Lord Jin asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Fan said, "Well, I can't just be calling you Lord Jin and Lord Yin can I? Since you'll be working in my store, I think it's best if I just call you by your names."
Lord Jin nodded at this before he said, "We beasts don't have names other than the ones we come up with ourselves or the ones you humans give us when we form a contract. You can just call me Jin and you can call him Yin, those are the names we've given ourselves."
Lin Fan nodded before saying, "Alright, Jin, then let's get out of here. Send me to a different place from the one that you sent the other three."
Jin nodded when he heard this and he slowly gathered his spatial laws, but Yin suddenly said something that stopped them.
Yin said as he pointed at Yin Zi, "What are we going to do about this girl?"
Only then did they remember that Yin Zi was still here, knocked out on the throne.
Lin Fan turned to look at her before asking Yin, "How involved was she with the Beast Clan?"
Yin honestly said, "Her entire family was involved with the Beast Clan. Their ancestor received his power from the Shadow Lord and used that to create a name for himself. They have been the spies for the Shadow Lord for many generations now."
Lin Fan then asked, "How much did she know about all of this?"
Yin said, "She knew everything about the entire plan and was working with us the whole time."
Lin Fan then turned back to Yin with a smile, "Is there a need to ask me what we're going to do with her?"
Yin felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else.
Yin raised the dagger that he had taken from Yin Zi and accurately threw it right into the back of her head.
Yin Zi, the traitor to humanity lost her life just like that, not even knowing how she died in the end. But at least her fate was much easier than her family's.
But it didn't end there as Yin asked, "What about the other one?"
