Chapter 16: Sitting Opposite Each Other
Those outside could not obtain any detailed information about Yin Yang City. Knowing what happened within its walls was not something that could be achieved merely through wealth or power.
First of all, very few people were able to leave Yin Yang City. Secondly, the Eternal Emperor had strict rules; aside from the specified content, no information was to be disclosed to outsiders.
Thus, Le Yan's main point was for Lian Yun not to concern herself with Yin Mengru, as doing so would essentially mean taking her away from Yin Yang City.
It was already extremely difficult for an individual to leave Yin Yang City, and bringing someone else along would undoubtedly make it nearly impossible.
However, after learning about the news of her only friend, the general, Lian Yun could not help but care.
Although those within Yin Yang City were prohibited from passing messages to the outside world, there were still many pieces of information that leaked out.
This was part of a promotion aimed at attracting more people or Spirits to come.
In summary, the so-called area of Yin Yang City was actually no less than the entirety of Huaxia Land. It was divided into land and underwater sections, and this vast expanse was transformed into a world reminiscent of a game due to an Earth Formation.
According to promotional materials, there were numerous activities available in Yin Yang City—almost everything one could think of, and even things one could not imagine.
For instance, hunting special Soul Beasts could yield unique currency. This special currency could not only be used for transactions but also absorbed directly to enhance personal strength.
Additionally, there were many quests available—some issued by Yin Yang City itself and others by individuals.
Moreover, there were so-called Dungeons, such as challenging a certain tower or exploring a particular Cave.
In addition to these, there are many competitions. Achieving a certain rank in these competitions will earn you corresponding Honor Points, which are the best currency for transactions.
According to the news from Yin Yang City, as long as you have enough Honor Points, you could even purchase the throne of the Eternal Emperor, essentially buying the entire Yin Yang City.
Of course, this is impossible. After all, Honor Points are generated from Yin Yang City, and acquiring them requires effort. When individuals put in their efforts, Yin Yang City naturally reaps the rewards.
So it can be seen that the more diligently you work to accumulate Honor Points, the higher the value of Yin Yang City becomes; it cannot simply be bought.
However, this also proves the value of Honor Points, as they can almost purchase anything within Yin Yang City.
This is one of the main reasons why some individuals or Spirits can leave Yin Yang City.
Lian Yun folded the letter and photo neatly and placed them under the Cloud Emperor's Order on his chest for safekeeping. He then sat cross-legged in his seat and began to cultivate.
After just a few minutes, he suddenly felt a fiery and piercing gaze on his face. Opening his eyes, he saw Ximen Qianlie sitting directly opposite him, with a fierce expression, staring intently at him.
Such scenes are not uncommon on the Yin Yang Train.
Some desperate individuals who refuse to back down will board the train at any cost, leading to mutual hostility.
However, Yin Yang City is in great need of newcomers, so regardless of internal conflicts, newcomers are still afforded a certain level of protection.
For instance, in general circumstances, two individuals who are hostile towards each other, regardless of their strength levels, will be required to disembark at different locations. If there is a significant difference in strength, it is even less likely they would be assigned to the same place.
Even with enemies pursuing them, newcomers entering Yin Yang City still had a certain level of protection in their lives.
The Yin Yang Train was built specifically to welcome newcomers, and fighting was strictly prohibited outside, let alone inside the train. Faced with Ximen Qianlie's hostility, Lian Yun felt no fear at all. Instead, he smiled and teased, "If you lower your realm, Senior, perhaps we could end up in the same 'beginner village'!"
Ximen Qianlie ignored him; no, it was more accurate to say he remained unmoved by Lian Yun's words.
Ximen Qianlie knew that Lian Yun's strength was nearly unmatched at their level—truly invincible, regardless of what abilities his opponents possessed.
To lower his realm in hopes of sharing the same beginner village with Lian Yun would undoubtedly be a path to self-destruction.
Now, he only hoped not to be too far from Lian Yun. The sooner they encountered each other, the greater the chance of killing Lian Yun. Conversely, the later they met, the lesser his chances would be, and he might even end up being killed by Lian Yun instead.
Although Ximen Qianlie couldn't do anything at the moment, he still wanted to disturb Lian Yun's cultivation with his gaze to weaken his progress.
In reality, while Lian Yun felt fearless, he still stopped his cultivation to adjust his state and breathing.
He was concerned that while cultivating, Ximen Qianlie might catch a glimpse of some of his secrets.
The difficulty with real experts lay in their blatant disregard for rules; all their schemes were almost overt. It was as if you knew there was a trap but had no choice but to step into it.
Ordinary matters could be managed, but often it left one feeling as if their intelligence had been trampled upon—confused, entangled, and irritated.
Because of this mood, Lian Yun sat in meditation for a while but found that he couldn't even calm his heart. However, his self-discipline was decent, so when he opened his eyes again, he locked gazes with Ximen Qianlie. His expression grew increasingly indifferent—indifferent to the point of coldness, coldness to the point of numbness.
Indifference is simply ignoring, not caring, and this made Ximen Qianlie's expression even more ferocious.
After a long while, Ximen Qianlie suddenly grinned and mocked, "Do you know how many people back then agreed, even recommended selling you to the Demon Clan and the Demon Emperor?"
"I don't know, but you must have been among them. It doesn't matter; when I return, I will investigate everything one by one and settle the scores."
"Heh heh! So it turns out the beast is actually a hypocrite, hahahaha! If outsiders knew~~~"
Lian Yun was somewhat indifferent: "A gentleman or a hypocrite, what does it matter? I care nothing for reputation or others' opinions. I only believe that a gentleman's revenge is never too late."
"If it weren't for your ruthless heart, wanting to seriously injure my brother, your Xi Men Family could have continued to thrive for at least three more years. Unfortunately, as they say, those who do evil will ultimately bring about their own demise; you have doomed your entire family."
"Did I cause it, or did you? Your malicious thoughts are the most vicious~~~~" Ximen Qianlie instantly erupted in rage, roaring madly, his face contorted into a near-complete mask of fury.
"How useless! What does it matter who is right or wrong? We have become sworn enemies who cannot coexist. Our encounter is destined for bloodshed; why bother with so much talk?"
In the end, Lian Yun waved his hand slightly, with a hint of mockery: "In the end, you still have your reservations and dare not kill me here. If it were me, I would definitely take action to kill you!"
