Chapter 77: The Imperial City
In fact, Lian Yun deliberately spread the news about Lin Jin's potential resurrection, primarily hoping that Lin Xiaoyao would strive to grow. After all, there was ample room for growth in Yin Yang City.
Once he had enough strength to protect himself, it would not be too late to discuss a carefree life.
Hearing this, Lian Yun smiled slightly and said, "Did someone contact you before you came to see me?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoyao nod, Lian Yun continued with a smile, "Then I can rest assured and let them assist you; it counts as what the alliance owes us."
The term "alliance" was conveyed through a spiritual message from Lian Yun. Lin Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment before nodding in response.
He was originally a young master from a prominent family, only focused on enjoying life and not particularly interested in building up power. However, he was accustomed to using people. After possibly hearing about Lin Beiyan's potential for rebirth, he pondered and felt there was no need to make things so tense with the Huaxia Alliance.
Thus, Lian Yun's search for Lin Xiaoyao came to a satisfactory conclusion.
After chatting for a while longer, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun left to spend some time outside Handan City before heading to Moscow City.
Initially, Lian Yun wanted to explore the Twelve Cities and visit Joseph. However, upon arriving in Moscow City, he sensed an overwhelming hostility and murderous intent permeating the entire city.
Although both Lian Yun and Xiao Jun could ignore it, Meng Yixuan felt quite uncomfortable. Consequently, Lian Yun had no choice but to abandon that plan.
They disbanded within Moscow City; Xiao Jun and Yao Yun'er returned to Xianjian Sect while Lian Yun took the general and Meng Yixuan back to Chang'an.
The two women returned to Azure Pavilion while Lian Yun first stopped by Challenge Tower to retrieve Clone Swallow and Big Head, allowing Yan to comprehend sword techniques within the Yin-Yang Stage. He then headed to Treasure Shop to reclaim Clone City so that it could forge the Soul Sword. Lian Yun personally practiced forging techniques while also experiencing the application of Vibrational Force.
A day later marked another Qingming Festival; Lian Yun turned eighteen and officially came of age.
The Qingming Event was quite special—a dungeon unique to Yin Yang City, distinguishing between Kings and Monarchs.
Lian Yun received a message from Elder Mei asking if he wanted to join her in the Emperor's Dungeon.
Without hesitation, Lian Yun agreed and first went to Handan City to accept the Clear and Bright mission. He then met with the Monarchs of Xianjian Sect in Luoyang City before heading to the Imperial City above the Twelve Cities.
To be honest, Lian Yun had never really understood the matters of the Imperial City before. It wasn't that he was unaware of its existence; rather, he felt that he might not reach the Emperor Realm within a short time, perhaps not even in three years. Thus, he hadn't asked Tian Shou to gather information about it.
Now, visiting the Imperial City for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
Surrounding him were magnificent buildings towering two to three hundred meters high. In the center of the Imperial City, Ghostly Guards, Terracotta Army soldiers, and towering robots moved freely about.
Yin Yang City and the Three Major Troops appeared just like ordinary citizens, engaging in free movement, trading, and discussions.
Lian Yun even overheard two Ghostly Guards with Initial Monarch strength conversing:
"Hey, if Bai Yun and Xiao Jun establish their family estates as Marquis, do you think they would invite us to be their guards?"
"I don't know. But what's so good about being human guards? We're doing just fine now; we can complete missions and earn rewards. Sooner or later, we can elevate our own realms."
"That's different. Those two are just kings who have gained His Majesty's favor and been titled Marquis. As long as we follow them, our status will surely rise over time. Achieving Medium or even High Ghostly Guard status isn't impossible. If we stick to doing our own missions, who knows how long it would take us to advance!"
"Hmph! We have infinite lifespans; why rush?"
"Exactly because we have infinite lifespans! Humans live at most three to five hundred years. So I think if we assist them wholeheartedly for three to five hundred years, we could elevate to Medium Monarch or High Emperor. Wouldn't that be a great deal? Besides, those two are once-in-a-century talents favored by His Majesty. Perhaps they could help us break through to Peak Monarch! If we were to rely on ourselves for advancement, it might take us two or three thousand years to achieve such accomplishments!"
The other Ghostly Guard suddenly felt a bit tempted.
Then both seemed to share an understanding and fell silent. Suddenly, they turned their heads toward Lian Yun and Xiao Jun before quietly blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight.
Perhaps they had intentionally spoken nearby for Lian Yun and Xiao Jun to hear.
However, it was undeniable that if Lian Yun and Xiao Jun were to recruit them, they would certainly follow their orders wholeheartedly.
For them, three to five hundred years was merely a blink of an eye. The more sincere and dedicated their assistance, the greater the benefits they could reap.
Thus, they approached simply to make acquaintance with Lian Yun and Xiao Jun, hoping for a familiar face. Although Lian Yun and Xiao Jun might not need these Initial Monarch Ghostly Guards as protectors, having an acquaintance could still provide an opportunity!
Lian Yun couldn't help but smile with a hint of disbelief, yet suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.
In Yin-Yang City, he didn't need any guards, but if he were to head to Yin City with Clone Swallow, perhaps having some protection would be necessary. Using Ghostly Guards as escorts might even serve to keep things discreet.
However, this matter was not urgent for the time being.
Lian Yun was surrounded by nearly three hundred Monarchs from the Xianjian Sect, all of whom were quite formidable and had naturally overheard the words of the two Ghostly Guards. In fact, it wasn't just those two; several mid- to high-ranking Ghostly Guards and even members of the Terracotta Army were discussing their brief lifespans and their willingness to assist humans without hesitation.
Many from the Xianjian Sect shared knowing smiles at this, and Elder Mei remarked lightly, "This Dungeon involves a massive demon tree that has appeared within the imperial city. Although the roots of the demon tree possess considerable offensive power, as long as we act with caution, there shouldn't be too much danger."
Qiu ChujI looked at Lian Yun and Xiao Jun with a smile and said, "Although this Dungeon has clear restrictions against fighting, we must be wary of outsiders who might adopt a desperate mindset. You should pay attention to your own safety. Moreover, since you hold the title of Marquis, you could hire some Imperial Citizens as assistants to aid you."
With that, Qiu ChujI handed each of Lian Yun and Xiao Jun three hundred Diamond Spirit Coins.
However, both Lian Yun and Xiao Jun declined the offer since they still had not used up the Three Thousand Diamond Spirit Coins given by Zhuang Wuxue. Furthermore, they were also expecting a substantial reward of thirty thousand after clearing the Yaochi Dungeon.
Nonetheless, just to be safe, Lian Yun decided to check his personal attributes.
