Chapter 7: Major News
Lian Yun could sense that there were already one hundred thousand White Diamond Coins in his personal space, and the Honor Points had also been directly added to his personal attributes. As for the warehouse, it was likely expanded as well.
At this moment, when Li Si heard Lian Yun's response, he suddenly laughed and said, "From now on, Lord Baron can consider himself a subject of His Majesty; do not refer to yourself as a Commoner."
Lian Yun was slightly taken aback because Li Si at that moment felt similar to the Spirit outside, exuding a sense of vitality, as if he were a free thinker unbound by the constraints of Yin Yang City’s grand formation.
Li Si seemed to understand what Lian Yun was thinking and smiled slightly, saying, "Aside from following His Majesty's orders and not being able to leave the city on my own, I am free at all other times."
As Li Si handed over a token, he continued to smile, "This is a reward from His Majesty for Lord Baron. I also have rewards to offer you; may I ask what you need, Lord Baron?"
Lian Yun was once again stunned, even somewhat dumbfounded as he thought, "Rewards can be requested like this?"
However, Lian Yun also considered that this might be Li Si's ulterior motive, so he cupped his hands and said, "I am Bai Yun, here to pay my respects to Lord Li Si."
"Not at all! Lord Baron holds a noble status; how can you treat me with such formality?"
"Younger generation Bai Yun pays his respects to Lord Li Si!" Lian Yun cupped his hands again.
This time, Li Si nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then I shall accept this courtesy from you."
"Though I have the desire to re-enter the high halls of power, I do not wish to impose. However, if someone from my city can secure a position on the major Ranking Lists, my name will frequently come to His Majesty's attention. As for when His Majesty will summon me, I shall leave it to fate."
The implication was that Li Si still wished to enter the court but did not want to force the issue; it would be best if he could serve in the court, but if not, he would not resort to scheming too much.
However, if there are young talents from Xianyang City ranking high on various Ranking Lists, the name of the city lord, Li Si, would frequently come to the attention of the Emperor, even if he wished to ignore it.
Next, it would depend on the Emperor's mood.
In other words, Li Si's request was for Lian Yun to strive for some positions on the Ranking Lists and achieve recognition.
"I also wish to earn rewards from the various Ranking Lists, so your request is not a burden to me," Lian Yun replied honestly.
Li Si looked at Lian Yun with appreciation but then shook his head and said, "Having goals is natural, yet it does not conflict with my intention to reward you."
This statement was quite generous, but it was also understandable. After all, any strong individual would aim for the Ranking Lists. However, Li Si's proposal essentially meant he wanted to provide rewards for the talented individuals in the city.
After a moment of silence, Lian Yun asked, "May I inquire how one might leave Yin Yang City?"
This was the key point. Lian Yun had been gathering information about this since Tian Shou brought him to Famous City, but he had not managed to uncover any leads.
Li Si gazed deeply at Lian Yun and then replied somewhat indifferently, "You cannot know until you reach the rank of Duke."
There was such a restriction. Lian Yun frowned slightly; he currently held only the lowest rank of Baron and was several tiers away from Duke. He clasped his hands again and asked, "May I ask how one can elevate their rank?"
"One is through the Emperor's decree; the other is by having one hundred thousand Barons or one million Viscounts."
"I..." Despite Lian Yun's good upbringing, he nearly cursed under his breath this time.
Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke. According to Li Si's standards, reaching Duke required an honor of one billion. And this was merely the condition for knowing how to leave. Clearly, the conditions for departure were even more stringent.
Thus, Lian Yun could no longer rely on purchasing a title to obtain conditions; he could only depend on the rewards granted by the Eternal Emperor.
“May I ask, senior, how can I acquire a large amount of honor?”
“Come here! Within the limits allowed by His Majesty, I will do my best to assign you high-reward tasks. However, correspondingly, the difficulty of these tasks will also increase. This is something I cannot assist you with.”
Lian Yun nodded in understanding and bowed in gratitude.
The tasks from Lisbu were basically either high-level missions or Hidden Missions. Outsiders needed to meet certain conditions to accept them, while Lian Yun could directly take on tasks, which was already a significant favor.
“Additionally, the Golden Treasure Box that emerged from this Annual Conference Secret Realm can also yield considerable honor. After that, there are the war missions.”
“War missions?” Lian Yun asked, somewhat confused.
“This mission requires individuals of Medium Monarch level or above to understand it, and since you possess such combat strength, it is fine for me to inform you.”
Lian Yun listened attentively.
“Although the sea provides endless power for Yin Yang City, after Yin Yang City utilizes this power, there will be residual filth discharged into the sea. This filth then merges with the power of the sea and forms Filth, which will only attack Yin Yang City.”
“Look at how beautiful Yin Yang City appears now; it is merely an illusion and a method of spatial displacement. In reality, perhaps you and I are both within some Filth.”
Lian Yun felt somewhat incredulous, but after a moment's thought, he found it understandable.
One must know that the sea possesses endless Soul Power resources. Why is it that other Demon Emperors in this world do not come to the sea like the Eternal Emperor to create islands or places to survive?
Looking back now, it seemed that they had not been able to effectively resist what Li Si referred to as the Filth. Additionally, it was puzzling why there were not many powerful Monarchs participating in the Year Beast Secret Realm, such as those at the so-called Demigod Level. Clearly, they were fighting the Filth on another level.
This also highlighted the unparalleled abilities of the Eternal Emperor. Despite the presence of several Demon Emperors in the Demon Realm, none dared to provoke the Eternal Emperor.
At this moment, Li Si continued, "Although you possess Medium Monarch-level combat power, being a Medium Monarch only meets the minimum requirements for engaging with the Filth. Therefore, until I grant my approval, I will not assign you any tasks related to the Filth."
Perhaps Li Si wanted Lian Yun to contribute more to Xianyang City, thereby bringing its name further into the eyes of the Emperor. Lian Yun completely understood this and felt no discouragement whatsoever.
If he were to engage with the Filth without Li Si's approval, it would essentially be a death sentence.
Moreover, Lian Yun still had many areas in which he needed to grow; he was not in a hurry. As long as there was hope, he had a direction to strive toward.
Having learned many important pieces of information by now, Lian Yun planned to take his leave.
However, at that moment, Li Si said, "Hmm! In my capacity as City Lord, I can grant you a five percent increase in mission rewards within Xianyang City. What do you think?"
"Thank you for your generous offer, Senior!" Lian Yun bowed again in gratitude.
