Chapter 2836 The King Blood Jackals’ Two Royals!
Most of the King Blood Jackals were male, but all the female members had higher statuses than the male members. This was evident based on the sequence of the formations.

There were only two male King Blood Jackal captains, making up less than 1/3 of the total number.

The King Blood Jackals were a matriarchy, so this situation was unsurprising.

The two male King Blood Jackals had to be excellent for them to be selected over female King Blood Jackals.

When the King Blood Jackals spotted Spring and Summer, their bodies trembled in obvious fear. Spring and Summer must have done something to strike such terror into them.

The King Blood Jackals were not as strong-headed as their queen.

From the way that the King Blood Jackals were standing there, it meant that they had already been tamed.

When Summer saw that the King Blood Jackals did not move or respond to Lin Yuan’s arrival, she scoffed.

“Only a few hours have passed since you were last taught a lesson. Have you forgotten what I told you? I have already eliminated the disobedient King Blood Jackals. You only deserve to stand here because you were obedient. How dare you not greet the Lord?”

Kneeling was also the highest form of respect in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Normally, in a species, only superiors with the best bloodlines received such greetings from their subordinates.

The rules and significance surrounding kneeling were much stricter and more solemn than they were in the main world.

When the King Blood Jackals heard what Summer said, they hurriedly bowed in greeting. This was the clearest way of demonstrating their subservience.

The stubborn King Blood Jackals had already been killed, and their bloodlines extracted, essentially draining the final value of their existence.

The King Blood Jackals who survived all had their heads bowed. They definitely did not want to meet the same end.

Even their queen, the pillar of the King Blood Jackals, had been subdued by the enemy and was completely unable to fight back. The other King Blood Jackals, who were weaker than her, knew that any resistance was futile.

If the enemy wanted to stomp out the King Blood Jackals, most of them would fight back.

But as things stood, the enemy did not have such an intention. Rather, they wanted to turn the King Blood Jackals into servants, just like the King Blood Jackals had done with other species.

The King Blood Jackals did not treat their servants extremely well but still enabled them to develop and grow. They also gave their servants benefits to keep their loyal service.

When Lin Yuan saw the King Blood Jackals kneeling in front of him, he thought, Any task I give to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter is always done to perfection.

“The King Blood Jackals will become Sky City’s dependent species from today onward. Every King Blood Jackal will become a manager in Sky City’s territory and will be in charge of the operations and development in the territory.”

Immediately upon arrival, this superior started assigning the King Blood Jackals to become managers. He was placing a lot of value and trust in them!

This was the first time that the King Blood Jackals were hearing of the faction known as Sky City.

There was no way that Sky City was a native faction of North of the Lonely River.

One of the female King Blood Jackals asked, “Lord, where is Sky City’s territory? Tell us the location of the territory so we can allocate tasks and do our best to accomplish this mission you’ve given us!”

Lin Yuan looked seriously into the eyes of the King Blood Jackal, who had spoken. Given that she dared to speak to him directly, that King Blood Jackal had to have a brazen personality. This made her suitable to be a leader.

It also meant that she held a high position among the King Blood Jackals. Otherwise, regardless of how brazen she was, she would never dare to be the first King Blood Jackal to speak in such circumstances.

The King Blood Jackals prioritized bloodlines just as highly as the Bloodians and mermaids did.

Lin Yuan did not falter at all when he was posed this question.

“Currently, Sky City is planning on developing in North of the Lonely River. The entire North of the Lonely River is part of Sky City’s territory. You will be in charge of the area where you are currently located. Subsequently, your responsibilities will expand outward from this area. You are familiar with this area that you have been occupying all this time. You should be able to do a good job of managing it for me!

“You will continue to manage the servant species that are already under your control. If your queen chooses to submit to me, I will continue allowing her to rule over the King Blood Jackals. If your queen chooses to be stupidly stubborn, I will select a male and female King Blood Jackal to receive the queen’s bloodline. They will then jointly rule over the King Blood Jackals.”

A new King Blood Jackal ruler was only chosen once the previous ruler passed.

The King Blood Jackal Queen was in the prime of her life.

Under the King Blood Jackals’ rule, none of the other King Blood Jackals had the opportunity to lead the species.
Lin Yuan’s words were somewhat of a promise to the King Blood Jackals.

If Lin Yuan killed the King Blood Jackal Queen outright, he would definitely displease the other King Blood Jackals.

But if, after he killed the queen, he extracted her bloodline and gave it out as a reward, the King Blood Jackals would feel as though they had hope of becoming one of the new rulers of the species. As a result, they would definitely do their best to manage the area to prove their capabilities to Lin Yuan!

Picking a male and female King Blood Jackal as joint rulers meant that Lin Yuan wanted them to keep each other in check.

When Lin Yuan nurtured the two King Blood Jackals, he would definitely try to encourage the two to compete and balance each other.

While investigating the King Blood Jackals’ territory, Spring and Summer discovered that there were just as many male King Blood Jackals as females. However, the males had all been sent out to guard the territory.

The male King Blood Jackals were loyal to the queen and would serve her unquestioningly. Even if she asked them to sacrifice themselves, they would do so.

However, the male King Blood Jackals would not offer such unconditional loyalty to a fellow male.

In the past, there were instances of rebellions led by male King Blood Jackals. They were a result of the males receiving unfair treatment in the species.

If the King Blood Jackal Queen had not used force to quell the uprisings, the King Blood Jackals might have already split into multiple species, just as what had happened to the Moon-Worshiping Wolves.

By selecting a male King Blood Jackal as one of the rulers, Lin Yuan would remove the hostility and resentment brewing among the male King Blood Jackals. This would help in establishing and maintaining peace among the species.

The King Blood Jackals were his tools.

Lin Yuan was interested in the King Blood Jackals’ power and management talent.

He did not want his tools to turn against him and cause chaos in the territory.

Lin Yuan’s words caused a stir among the King Blood Jackals.

The eyes of the female King Blood Jackals standing at the front of the rows glinted.

However, the most excited ones were the two male King Blood Jackals.

Now that this new ruler was there, such an opportunity had arisen!

For the male King Blood Jackals, this opportunity was beyond their wildest dreams.

When they heard the voices of the King Blood Jackals growing stronger, the managing King Blood Jackals at the front immediately quelled the noise.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Speaking to intelligent people always saved time and effort.

It was clear that the King Blood Jackals understood his meaning.

Based on the actions of the managing King Blood Jackals, it was possible that the managers standing at the front were not as loyal to their queen as they seemed.

As Lin Yuan walked into the main hall, the King Blood Jackals remained kneeling. They would stay in this state until there was a conclusion regarding the queen.

Regardless of whether their queen surrendered, the King Blood Jackals would be ushering in a new era.

Spring and Summer had only told Lin Yuan about the King Blood Jackals. They had not provided him with any strategic suggestions.

Lin Yuan used this method to take full control of the King Blood Jackals.

Even if he eliminated the King Blood Jackal Queen, it would not affect his control over them.

As he walked deeper into the hall, Lin Yuan saw a golden-haired figure in a crumpled and shrunken heap on the ground. Her hands and legs were chained to the throne.

This figure, who should be seated on the throne, was now chained to it.

Nonetheless, the prisoner tried to keep her back as straight as possible, and her aura remained sharp and cutting.

The moment Lin Yuan walked through the door, her red-golden eyes snapped at him.

Lin Yuan was witnessing the demeanor of a pinnacle Divine Kingdom expert who was the ruler of a powerful species.

Lin Yuan was extremely impressed by the King Blood Jackal Queen.

He smiled and said, “You don’t know me, but I’m sure you know why I’m here. I’m not here to encourage you to welcome death. I’m here to allow you to make your own decision.”

Lin Yuan told the queen everything he had just told the other King Blood Jackals.

The King Blood Jackal Queen’s eyes flashed.

The gears in her head had to be turning rapidly.

When Lin Yuan interacted with the female King Blood Jackal elites, he could tell that all of them were ambitious. The queen had to be aware of this as well.

Given that the queen gave such enormous authority to the female King Blood Jackals, it meant that she wanted to cultivate their ambitiousness.

Ambition was the best driving force!

The King Blood Jackal Queen had her power and was not afraid of the female King Blood Jackals’ ambition weakening her position.

But now, the King Blood Jackal Queen had no choice but to grapple with the female King Blood Jackals and the ambition she had cultivated.

Lin Yuan’s words immediately hit the King Blood Jackal Queen’s pain point. She had no choice but to approach him cordially.

“What are your intentions for the King Blood Jackals?”

Lin Yuan smiled. He did not respond to her but asked instead, “What is the King Blood Jackals’ intention for keeping so many dependent species in this desolate area? We have forcefully taken control of the King Blood Jackals.

“I want you to understand that this isn’t because we have a vendetta against you. Rather, we want to use pure power to maintain absolute control over the King Blood Jackals! So, you don’t have the right to negotiate terms with me!

“But if you become my subordinate, you can obtain some benefits for yourself. The benefits will involve evolving your bloodline and helping you become a Holy Spirit expert.”

The first portion of Lin Yuan’s words continuously stoked the flames of the King Blood Jackal Queen’s rage.

But the latter part of what he said caused shock and interest to appear on her face.

At the same time, she began to think carefully about Lin Yuan’s suggestion of becoming his subordinate.

If she chose not to submit, there was no question that he would kill her and give her bloodline as a reward to the other King Blood Jackals.

Although doing so would cause her to lose her pride as an expert and she would no longer be able to uphold the promise she made to her seniors of safeguarding the King Blood Jackals, she would be able to evolve her bloodline and grade.

If she could evolve her bloodline and reach the Holy Spirit level, she would truly be able to leave her mark on the Sky Beyond the Clouds!

Even if the King Blood Jackals became servants, they would still be able to make great strides in the Species Ranking and obtain a decent ranking with a ruler of her power.

The King Blood Jackals could act as they pleased in North of the Lonely River, but this was not because the resources here met their needs. Rather, once they left this barren land and began exploring other areas, the King Blood Jackals might end up in great danger.

The King Blood Jackal Queen dared not take such a risk before she reached the Holy Spirit level.

If they followed this young man, the King Blood Jackals would definitely be able to leave North of the Lonely River!

If this young man could give her such an opportunity, it would be her blessing to give her loyalty to him.
