Chapter 75: The Appearance of Lin Xiaoyao
However, Lian Yun suddenly waved his hand and stood up, speaking lightly, "Thanks! There are some things I can judge for myself."
"You all came to me wanting to assist me?"
"By the order of the Alliance Leader, we are here to fully support the Cloud Emperor!" Over twenty people bowed in unison.
Lian Yun stepped to the door, not looking back but calmly saying, "To still accept the Alliance Leader's orders upon arriving in Yin Yang City, you all can be considered as loyal and righteous individuals. However, there is no need to assist me! If you have the heart, then assist my cousin Lin Xiaoyao instead. He should be in Handan City; with your abilities, you should be able to find his whereabouts!"
"As for Wang He, if you wish to accompany me to the Demon Realm, first prove that you can leave Yin Yang City. What happens afterward will depend on your realm and strength."
"Yes! I will certainly not disappoint the Cloud Emperor!" Wang He changed his previously dejected demeanor, his aura retracting and becoming plain and unremarkable, then turning cold and ruthless.
Lian Yun still did not turn around but slightly shook his head and said, "If you lose your humanity by any means necessary, then when the time comes for me to strike, it might just be you!"
With that, Lian Yun vanished without acknowledging whether Wang He could change his mindset.
In Lian Yun's view, Wang He had undoubtedly lost close relatives and thus fell into despair. He did not hesitate to inform Lian Yun about Ghost River; this was something Lian Yun could fully understand and would not hold against him.
However, if he were to become ruthless and kill indiscriminately because of this, that would not be a behavior befitting a human. At that time, Lian Yun might indeed have to eliminate him personally.
Although this journey was not perfect for Lian Yun, it did open up his heart. Previously, he had never considered that his parents might already know about the conspiracy of the Huaxia Alliance. Now...
Since it was his parents' choice, Lian Yun would no longer dwell on it so much. Moreover, he had received news that he could see his parents again.
As he left, the clone in Chang'an City had been blindly learning various forging techniques but was now focusing on helmets and headgear because Lian Yun possessed a piece of Soul Material from Joseph—the only one from Thirty-One Beginner Village that had soul defense capabilities.
The Yan Clone on the Challenge Tower suddenly stood up as well, exuding a massive amount of Sword Intent while slaughtering the surrounding Chaos Beasts.
He had initially intended for the clone to act independently and complete tasks. Now he planned to send Clone Swallow to Yin City. However, there was no rush. Two or three months or even a year later would be fine; it wouldn’t be too late after mastering the Ten Thousand Sword Technique.
He wondered what Li Si had discussed with Han Feizi in the letter. Upon arriving at the Lord's Mansion and presenting his letter of introduction, Lian Yun received a friendly reception from Han Feizi. Although it wasn't as warm or attentive as Li Si's treatment, it was still quite good compared to other citizens of the city.
After a brief chat, Li Si assigned Lian Yun a task—a guarding mission similar to the challenges in the beginner village's dungeon. The difference was that this mission involved battling low-level Monarchs with Chaos Beasts continuously appearing; however, their strength would not increase over time. The final score would depend on the number of kills and how intact the dragon-patterned stone pillars remained throughout.
For this reason, Lian Yun did not retrieve other Ghost Slaves but instead let his clone play Dancing with Demons and Yang Zai Xing while assisting him. He himself summoned three hundred Spiritual Power Greatswords, each wielding a different sword technique to continuously slay Chaos Beasts.
The main character held the Wu Tai, executing various sword techniques with each move, experiencing them firsthand.
Without paying much attention to the number of kills, the focus was on letting Yang Zai Xing and Hei fully protect the Central Pillar. After that, it was a continuous practice of sword techniques, neither rushed nor slow, repeating each technique over and over again, quickly performing yet deeply comprehending each one.
After four hours, or eight units of time, the Dungeon concluded. The evaluation wasn't the highest, but it granted the right to accept the Sovereign Quest from Handan City.
By the second morning, upon arriving at the tavern entrance, he heard a noisy discussion.
"I didn't expect that Guo Shaoxia, the young master of the Han Dynasty, is also a once-in-a-century talent; he actually cleared the forty-sixth level of BSS Tower."
"Yes! Zuo Han, the young master of Golden Tang Hall, also cleared the forty-seventh level of Challenge Tower; his strength is extraordinary."
"The two have always hidden their abilities and weren't in the Top Ten of the Kings. Why did they suddenly challenge last night? And why are they here at the tavern today?"
"Could it be that they want to meet Xiao Jun and Bai Yun?"
"That's very possible. With their talents as Marquis titles, if they don't have some strength, they really wouldn't qualify to meet those two."
"But isn't Lian Yun being a bit arrogant? Guo Shaoxia and Zuo Han are waiting outside; this is quite presumptuous."
Upon hearing this, Lian Yun unconsciously quickened his pace and almost rushed into the tavern in a single step.
Inside, he saw a general glaring angrily at a man while stuffing food into his mouth without regard for his image.
The man was doing similarly, but his movements were relatively more refined; he didn't eat as messily. Oddly enough, there was a seemingly tangible black toad beside him. This toad was also using its tongue to sweep away plates of delicacies.
The man often said, "Old Toad, eat more!"
As soon as he saw Lian Yun appear, the general seemed to gain confidence and immediately bared his teeth and claws. "Hey! Who are you to dare steal my food? Do you believe I will hit you?"
"Don't be angry; I've already asked the tavern to keep bringing dishes. I guarantee you'll eat your fill!"
"Hmph! The dishes you ordered are all below White Diamond Coins; how can they compare to what I have?"
"Uh..." The man awkwardly looked up and upon seeing Lian Yun immediately smiled. "Hey! Friend~~ lend me some White Diamond Coins!"
Lian Yun smiled knowingly and then waved a hundred White Diamond Coins into the tavern manager's hands, calmly saying, "Boss, please serve the dishes."
The Manager was naturally overjoyed, not bothering to ask about the dishes, and hurriedly bowed before turning into the kitchen.
Lian Yun casually sat down opposite the man and then looked at Meng Yixuan and Yao Yun'er, who were standing to the side with conflicted expressions. He smiled and said, "Sister, it's fine for Yooner to join us. Sit down and have something to eat."
"This is the person Brother Yun has been looking for?"
Xiao Jun had just returned. Instead of sitting down, he stood beside Lian Yun and asked.
Lian Yun nodded and smiled lightly, saying, "Yes! This is my cousin Lin Xiaoyao."
"What? The wasteful son of the Lin family?" The general was taken aback.
Lin Xiaoyao's reputation had not been very good when he was younger; he had boasted about wanting to indulge in all pleasures of life, leading people to see him as a spoiled rich kid—lazy and a disgrace to his family.
However, within a few years, Lin Xiaoyao demonstrated extraordinary talent, transforming his bad reputation into a good one, known for living freely and enjoying life.
The general had only been four or five years old when he entered Yin Yang City, during the time when Lin Xiaoyao was still infamous.
