Outside of Lan Boat City, families that gathered Spirit Cores and spiritual herbs were puzzled. They wondered why a Monarch capable of flying in mid-air had descended at the edge of Lan Boat City. When they heard Lian Yun's words, they thought this powerful figure had lost his mind.
However, upon seeing the Monarch sitting cross-legged in mid-air, raising one hand with a beam of light stretching thousands of meters from his fingertip, these onlookers were astonished. Not long ago, they had received news from the capital, and some even had videos of Lian Yun battling Dongfang Yi.
Naturally, they realized that the visitor was undoubtedly Lian Yun.
After about ten minutes, Ling Kong flew a thousand miles. Such speed seemed almost too fast!
As they witnessed the giant sword, those who confirmed the words of the person speaking realized they were not false. People rushed out of Lan Boat City and, upon seeing this scene above them, their expressions changed drastically. They hurried to the side of the convoy to inquire about the situation from familiar faces.
Upon learning that the person above was Lian Yun, many regulars in Lan Boat City looked at Lian Yun's back with eyes full of admiration.
Admiration, worship, faith.
Three years ago, Lian Yun entered Fengdu for over three months and claimed first place in the Alliance Tournament with strength that was no weaker than before. This held extraordinary significance for those residing in various Evil Spirit Cities across Huaxia.
Previously, they considered themselves Desperados. However, after hearing about Lian Yun's deeds, it felt as if they had found a sense of belonging and faith.
The Cloud Emperor, like them, endured hardships within Evil Spirit City.
They shared a commonality with the Cloud Emperor; although they resided in Evil Spirit City, they were not devoid of humanity or utterly wicked.
Such beliefs were born from this realization.
Regardless of whether these were mere excuses, it was clear that Lian Yun had become a source of faith for those living in various Evil Spirit Cities—a form of spiritual solace.
Now that Lian Yun had returned to challenge Evil Spirit City once more and allowed them time to leave Evil Spirit City, they did not see this as tyranny but rather as recognition from him.
After all, why would a Monarch care about their lives or deaths?
For powerful figures—especially someone like Lian Yun who possessed both virtue and fame nationwide—his acknowledgment was more important than their very lives. Thus, the residents of Lan Boat City looked at Lian Yun with even greater admiration and reverence.
Several hours later, many material collectors in the convoy received shocking news: first, a person named Zhou Tong was demanding resources among the major families in the capital under the name of the Cloud Emperor. Second, two individuals named Jiang Ao and Murong Ying were taking full control of Cloud Emperor City under the same name.
Setting aside the opinions of other families in different cities, those outside Lan Boat City speculated whether Lian Yun was preparing to establish a major power and whether he intended to confront the entire alliance.
Regardless of their speculations, half a day later, Lian Yun and Ling Kong stood up. Without looking back, Lian Yun spoke in a calm tone, "If you have no place to belong, then go to Cloud Emperor City!"
The words seemed to be directed at no one in particular, yet nearly everyone in Lan Boat City who was alone could not help but shed tears.
Ordinary people might simply feel homeless, but only those who truly understood their plight would describe their situation as having no place to belong. By suggesting they go to Cloud Emperor City, Lian Yun was offering acceptance of their past and all the stains that came with it.
This was not just giving them a place to belong; it was also granting them a chance for rebirth.
In the next moment, many people deeply bowed to Lian Yun before turning and running away as if fleeing, desperately racing toward their 'homeland.'
"Relay my message to other Evil Spirit Cities. If there are those without a place to belong, let them come to Cloud Emperor City!"
This statement was directed at the purchasing agents of the caravan, and Lian Yun's words undoubtedly confirmed Jiang Ao and Murong Ying's status.
Although he did not name anyone specifically, the purchasing agents quickly activated their communicators to inform their families' agents outside other Evil Spirit Cities about Cloud Emperor's 'directive.'
At that moment, they did not consider their family's interests. If all the residents of Evil Spirit City left, they would no longer be able to collect Spirit Cores and spiritual herbs. To obtain these resources would require sending family members into danger.
Perhaps in the past, there were powers or large families unwilling to accept the Desperados within Evil Spirit City. However, no family had ever actively recruited from there; it was always about self-interest and an unspoken agreement among various families and factions.
Whoever dared to monopolize this benefit would be attacked by the other families.
Yet now, with Lian Yun's single statement, these purchasing agents approached their tasks not just as family duties but with a sense of urgency.
Some may have felt compassion like Liu Lao did for Chen Tao long ago. Others likely wanted to leave a good impression, hoping it might save their lives or provide new opportunities in the future.
Regardless of the reasons, since it was Lian Yun's decision and there was no opposition from the Huaxia Alliance, no family or faction dared voice any dissent.
Did they not see how that powerful Ghost Slave general from Cloud Emperor was brazenly demanding resources from various Alliance High Command homes? Raising objections at this time would be tantamount to seeking death and could drag down entire families and factions.
As for the outside world, Lian Yun did not speculate on any circumstances.
At this moment, he simply had an instinctive desire to shelter those within Evil Spirit City. Even though he had once viewed them as unworthy, after returning from Yin Yang City, he had come to see things differently.
Everyone has a past; as long as they are willing to change themselves, Lian Yun was willing to accept them and provide them with a place to survive and belong.
With two sentences completed, Lian Yun stepped forward, entering Lan Boat City. With two more steps, he reached the boundary between the interior and the exterior, and with a third step, he approached the center.
In those three steps, the momentum of the giant sword in Lian Yun's hand surged from nothing to an overwhelming force, increasing geometrically. Compared to half a day ago outside the capital, his strength had multiplied tenfold or more.
It was not that Lian Yun had improved tenfold; rather, he had held back when outside the capital. After all, it was merely a sparring session. If he had fought with all his might then, a hundred-mile radius would have collapsed under his power.
Now, however, things were different. Although he did not possess the strength of a Half Emperor, in this world where he could harness Earth Power, even if he could not compete with the strongest Evil Spirit within Evil Spirit City, he could still stand undefeated.
Evil Spirit City was currently Lian Yun's best trial ground.
Boom~~
As Lian Yun entered the interior of Lan Boat City and approached the center, a section of the ground suddenly collapsed, and a giant ant over a hundred meters long emerged from the earth.
Though this giant ant was a hundred times smaller than Lian Yun's ten-thousand-meter giant sword, the pressure it exerted caused Lian Yun to sink several dozen meters downwards, nearly forcing him to land on the ground.
This was likely why no aircraft dared to fly high above and why Monarchs were cautious about peering into Evil Spirit City from above.
