Chapter 64: The Return of the Monarch
Emperor Yi did not disappoint Lian Yun. Although outsiders were allowed to use Yaochi Water, Lian Yun was prohibited from revealing its effects to them, and a hefty fee was required for its use.
It seemed that the costs associated with Lian Yun's Clone City and the joy it brought would take three years to settle. Lian Yun did not mind this, as he might still have to return after Indifferent.
Considering the scarcity of Spiritual Energy Resources in the outside world, Lian Yun specially crafted twenty large chests that even Peerless Monarchs would find difficult to open. One chest contained hundreds of thousands of Mental Potions, while two others held three hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins. Seven chests were filled with White Spirit Coins. These resources were primarily for cultivation, as he could now restore his ability to harness Earth Power outside of Yin Yang City.
The last ten chests were all filled with Yaochi Water.
Since outsiders could use it, he couldn't neglect his Three Aunts and Sisters-in-law. It would also be fine to let Grandmother Elder Lady soak in it a few more times.
After several hours of travel, he finally set foot on the land of Huaxia.
Eagerly anticipating his reunion, Lian Yun instructed Yang Zai Xing to take everyone directly to the Lin Family in the capital while he headed straight for Alliance Academy.
This day was destined to be tumultuous for Huaxia.
Many had long forgotten the vow made by that young man three years ago: upon his return, if Yin Yang City was so easy to leave, why had no one emerged with news for over a hundred years? Had those who left simply vanished into obscurity?
Thus, after the Alliance Tournament, many felt regretful, believing that Lian Yun had been forced into Yin Yang City out of fear of another plot from the Demon Realm.
However, yesterday's sudden appearance of Lin Xiaoyao shocked everyone.
The unexpected arrival of a powerful figure, surpassing High Emperor, exuded an unfathomable and profound aura that made the people of the capital believe a great emperor had descended upon them.
Then news spread from the Lin Family that Lin Xiaoyao's return was aided by Lian Yun, who would delay his own return until tomorrow due to some matters he needed to attend to in Yin Yang City.
In an instant, everyone who had been in the audience recalled the words spoken by that young man long ago.
"I will return within three years; I, Lian Yun, will make it happen."
Although no one knows how many difficulties Lian Yun faced within Yin Yang City, or how many times he felt he could not fulfill this promise, everyone now knows that the returning Lian Yun is truly capable of achieving it.
He will return soon.
Lin Xiaoyao has become so powerful that words cannot describe it, yet he was only able to return to Huaxia with the help of Lian Yun. Thus, Lian Yun’s strength must be greater than that of Lin Xiaoyao.
Countless people are eagerly awaiting his return, while others feel anxious and restless, unable to find peace. All the forces in the capital are focused on the gates of the Lin Family.
However, what they first encountered were twenty Emperor Level Demon Emperors, each carrying a large box, forcefully entering the city. No one dared to stop them, nor could they, for the leading general on horseback exuded an aura even more terrifying than that of Lin Xiaoyao.
The path was clear; the streets were deserted as everyone hid in their homes, not even daring to peek through their windows.
Yet, as the group of over twenty ‘high-level’ Demon Emperors passed through the city center, one suddenly shouted, “General Yang! Where is Cloud Emperor! Why isn’t Cloud Emperor here?”
Countless people trembled in fear but couldn’t help but look out their windows. They saw a middle-aged man standing boldly in front of the leading mounted general, exuding an overwhelming presence.
“What courage! A true hero!”
Many silently praised him, but then someone suddenly felt uneasy and widened their eyes in shock.
Isn’t this Liu Haitao, the great Keeper of the Cloud Emperor Palace? It is indeed under the name of Cloud Emperor.
Moreover, Liu Haitao recognizes this general~~
No, no, these must be the Ghost Slaves of Cloud Emperor!
Suddenly, all the windows and doors along the streets swung open.
“Esteemed seniors, are you not subordinates of Cloud Emperor?”
“Where is the Cloud Emperor?”
“But we have already arrived at the Lin Family~~~”
It seemed that everyone knew it was Lian Yun's Ghost Slave, so even though these twenty Demon Emperors were strong, no one seemed afraid.
However, not a single person responded to the outsider's question.
Ahead, upon seeing Liu Haitao, Yang Zai Xing smiled casually and said, “So it’s Keeper Liu! The Lord has left on some business and instructed us to deliver the items to the Lin Family. The Lord will arrive shortly.”
“I’m back! I’m really back! Hahaha!” Liu Haitao was as excited as a child. After a while, he regained his composure and quickly stepped aside, bowing slightly, “General Yang, please go ahead. I will visit the Lin Clan shortly.”
Yang Zai Xing smiled faintly, using his Soul Power to lift Liu Haitao, and then led the group forward at great speed.
He had come to know Lian Yun because of Liu Haitao; it was Liu Haitao who had initially collected Yang Zai Xing and waited for the right moment to present him to Lian Yun. Through countless words from Liu Haitao before they met, Yang Zai Xing had already developed a fondness for Lian Yun.
Thus, when Mu Shuai suggested that he follow Lian Yun, he didn’t feel such strong resistance and ultimately became one of Lian Yun's subordinates, achieving what he had today.
However, for Yang Zai Xing, his greatest gratitude was for the chance encounter with the blazing flame.
In both sentiment and reason, Yang Zai Xing would never treat Liu Haitao as an outsider. Although he didn’t let him ride alongside, he allowed him to walk beside him at the same height.
At first, Liu Haitao was somewhat startled, but after a while, he steadied himself and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Fate! This is fate! Hahaha!”
Yang Zai Xing and Yan Lie were initially prepared by him as Ghost Slaves for Lian Yun. Although Yang Zai Xing and Yan Lie had undergone some changes along the way, they ultimately remained by Lian Yun's side.
How could Liu Haitao not be happy? Even though he already knew this, seeing how powerful Yang Zai Xing had become still made him sigh in admiration.
The group of twenty ghosts was not large in number but was quite imposing. They soon arrived at the entrance of the Lin Family.
The members of the Lin Clan had long been waiting at the door.
Upon seeing the twenty powerful Spirits appear, some of the confused servants were immediately filled with fear, mistakenly thinking that people from the Demon Realm had come to capture Lian Yun.
However, when they saw the imposing general at the forefront dismount and bow, saying, "I am General Yang Zai Xing, greetings to Grandma," their apprehension began to ease.
"Greetings to Grandma."
Perhaps influenced by the contract, Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves all held a genuine respect for Grandma.
Grandma remained calm, smiling lightly, but after glancing around, she asked, "Where is Yun'er?"
"The Lord has matters to attend to and instructed us to come ahead."
"General Yang, why did you bring back so many things?"
Lin Dong's companion, Lin Xiaoyao, expressed his concern.
He knew that anything brought out from Yin Yang City could not be known by outsiders, let alone used. With Lian Yun bringing back so many items, it was like carrying a pile of ticking time bombs.
