In this world, perhaps the one who misses Lin Feiyan the most is not from the Lin Clan, nor is it Lian Yun, but rather the Sword God, Dongfang Yi. He might yearn for Lin Feiyan's revival even more than Lian Yun does. Even if he knows he can never possess her, just seeing her alive and well would bring him satisfaction.
Lian Yun holds deep respect for his father, Lian Cheng, his mother, Lin Feiyan, and Uncle Yi, Dongfang Yi. Therefore, he does not wish to interfere too much in the complex emotions among these three elders. As long as they do not come to blows or find themselves in a life-and-death situation, Lian Yun can accept whatever happens in the future.
It is not a lack of feeling; rather, it is an understanding of the three elders that reflects a certain open-mindedness.
He knows that no matter what decision Lin Feiyan makes, both Lian Cheng and Dongfang Yi will sincerely bless her.
For instance, now that Lin Feiyan has chosen the more ordinary Lian Cheng, Dongfang Yi does not obstruct her with his status or deliberately make things difficult for him, nor does he harbor hatred towards Lian Cheng.
On the contrary, it seems that the honest and straightforward Lian Cheng would make the same choice.
After telling Dongfang Yi to stay for a while longer, Lian Yun put away his sword and left without bringing along Le Yan, who had remained silent beside him with a face full of sorrow and respect.
Initially, she had risked great danger and public scorn to warn Lian Yun. However, Lin Beiyan and Lian Cheng did not escape; instead, they stood firm for the sake of everyone in Cloud Emperor City.
For this reason, Le Yan felt nothing but endless respect. They were a couple worthy of admiration; they would be her future in-laws and also her honor as Le Yan.
Of course, this honor would only truly belong to her when Lian Yun returned and embraced her.
At this moment, she had no words and silently watched Lian Yun's retreating figure.
As Lian Yun reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Lin Dong and the other two flying swiftly toward him. However, he paid them no mind and continued straight ahead.
Though anxious and impatient, the three landed in front of Lian Yun first, their expressions filled with concern.
Lian Yun had changed significantly.
If before today he had felt like a child to them at any time, now he gave off an air of being 'high above' them.
If he were an ordinary person, this demeanor might come across as arrogant. Yet given Lian Yun's essence, strength, and state of mind, he was qualified to display such an attitude without seeming arrogant. However, this sudden drastic change gave off an overwhelming presence that felt somewhat oppressive.
"Uncle, Second Uncle, Uncle-in-law, you should go to Grandma's courtyard! My parents' bodies are there," Lian Yun said without pausing as he walked on, already leaving the three behind before he finished speaking.
The three exchanged worried glances but still turned to rush toward Grandma's courtyard.
Ignoring what touching scenes might unfold in Grandma's courtyard, Lian Yun directly returned to Lin Beiyan's courtyard. However, this time as he stepped into the courtyard, Lian Yun suddenly smiled knowingly, as if he were greeted by his parents welcoming him back.
Yet, Lian Yun said nothing and sat cross-legged under the Pavilion.
However, Lian Yun's change did not go unnoticed by all the Ghost Slaves, including Lian Su Fang.
Lian Yun paid no attention to them; instead, he allowed Yan to appear beside him as they closed their eyes in contemplation. In reality, he was arranging for Clone Fun and Clone City to take action.
Perhaps due to the influence of Yin Yang City, although Lian Yun could sense the state of his clone in Yueyu City, the connection between them was somewhat delayed.
For instance, there would be a two or three-second delay in transmitting information. Moreover, the transmitted messages would be somewhat vague. It was like needing to relay a piece of information several times before it became clear.
However, with Yan beside him, each transmission equated to understanding it twice. Coupled with the direct communication between their hearts, even though the messages felt a bit unclear, Lian Yun was still able to grasp the actual situation immediately.
Under normal circumstances, it was as if information was being transmitted continuously, making it no different from usual.
However, things were different now.
Le had directly left Yin City and arrived at the imperial city. At the palace gates, he used his authority to enter with Emperor's Flowing Nectar. Under the arrangement of the Imperial Guard, he entered a grand hall to undergo the baptism of Emperor's Flowing Nectar.
He used his authority ten times in succession without seeking enlightenment but carefully felt the experience and transmitted that feeling to Lian Yun, Yan, and the city. Then Le quickly returned to Yin City and his Imperial Residence, where he began to contemplate in a secret chamber.
To be honest, when Lian Yun left Yin Yang City and returned to the Land of Huaxia, he felt the disparity in this mental transmission. For Lian Yun, this was more of a pleasant surprise than a shock.
He first thought about utilizing this disparity to repeatedly benefit from an experience, such as the baptism of Emperor's Flowing Nectar.
Initially, Lian Yun planned to handle some trivial matters before calming down to cultivate once again. However, the appearance of his parents' corpses and the two-and-a-half-year time limit made him temporarily set aside all trivialities and focus on enhancing Yan's strength as much as possible.
Sending Yan to the Demon Realm to search for his parents was a decision made in an instant but also one that had been deeply considered.
First and foremost, the Peerless Demon Master would undoubtedly take action. While Lian Yun himself could leave, there was no guarantee he could return. The Land of Huaxia was on the brink of great change; if Lian Yun could not unify it, he would lack the power to contend with various emperors. Therefore, Lian Yun did not intend for his main body to go.
He wished to compete with the emperors but had no intention of opposing them single-handedly.
He desired the power of the Land of Huaxia, and the Lin Clan was heading to Yin Yang City to develop their influence and strengthen their power.
Moreover, sending Clone Swallow had its advantages; being a ghostly form, it would not attract much attention. Additionally, once it found his parents, it could head directly to Yin Yang City.
Indeed, in Lian Yun's view, delivering his parents' remains to Yin Yang City was the best protective measure.
Thus, sending Yan to the Demon Realm was the perfect choice. Yet beneath this perfection, there seemed to be a shadow of an emperor, as if the emperor had already arranged this path for Lian Yun.
However, Lian Yun at present did not consider this too deeply. He lacked even the strength to contend with a Half Emperor, let alone an Emperor—especially one of the highest rank.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was the emperor's arrangement or not, Lian Yun chose a path suitable for himself. Only when he gained the ability to turn the tables would he consider whether he could resist the emperor.
Furthermore, although he had not deeply comprehended the baptism of Emperor's Flowing Nectar, careful observation allowed both Lian Yun and Yan to gain valuable insights.
In a span of about three seconds, as the Luminous Source continuously transmitted energy and Lian Yun and Yan provided feedback, their experiences formed a cycle that flowed back and forth between Lian Yun, Yan, and City and Joy.
The so-called Emperor's Flowing Nectar was essentially a radiance—a light that made Lian Yun feel a unique Spirituality.
