However, Le Yan's father, Le Yi, remained relatively calm. On one hand, he had a good relationship with Lian Yun; on the other hand, he was Le Yan's father. After a brief moment of excitement, he spoke in a deep voice, "Yun wants to split the Le Family in two, leaving one half in Huaxia and sending the other half to Yin Yang City?"
"If we are in Yin Yang City, I have the ability to protect those from the Le Family. Moreover, if it's just for business development, there isn't much danger involved. However, with the imminent changes in Huaxia, I cannot guarantee the safety of the Le Family. Thus, how to decide should be left to you, Uncle Le."
Lian Yun did not wish to meddle too much in the affairs of the Le Family. After suggesting a direction for them and greeting several elders, he took his leave.
After Cloud Emperor City became independent, a building was used as the city hall to manage various aspects of the city.
Previously, a man named Ma Dongshan served as the acting city lord. Recently, however, Zhou Tong, Jiang Ao, and Murong Ying had been issuing decrees from there.
Interestingly, when Jiang Ao first took over and gained control of the entire city, he faced some opposition and even rebellion. However, these were minor disturbances that quickly subsided throughout the city.
The original law enforcement personnel within the city remained largely unchanged. As a result, Zhou Tong and his companions' orders were fully complied with, allowing Cloud Emperor City to operate smoothly.
After some time, the influence established by the three of them had essentially integrated into Cloud Emperor City, giving them complete control over it.
Upon Lian Yun's arrival, Zhou Tong specifically set aside his work to bring Ma Dongshan to meet him. Their swift control over the entire city was largely due to Ma Dongshan's contributions.
After hearing Zhou Tong's explanation, Lian Yun learned that over three years ago, he had urged Ma Dongshan and other high-ranking officials of Cloud Emperor City to punish those who had harmed Le Yan. At that time, Ma Dongshan believed that Lian Yun would eventually gain control over Cloud Emperor City. Thus, during the investigation process, he gradually marginalized those who were not genuinely grateful to Lian Yun.
When Jiang Ao came to take over Cloud Emperor City, Ma Dongshan willingly stepped aside, making everything proceed exceptionally smoothly.
Regardless of Ma Dongshan's character, his willingness to pledge loyalty to Lian Yun was beyond doubt. His capabilities were also remarkable; therefore, Zhou Tong brought him to meet Lian Yun as he regarded him as a core member.
Similar to their first meeting, Ma Dongshan was still dressed in a suit and exuded an air reminiscent of a domineering CEO. However, in front of Lian Yun, he appeared somewhat more humble.
This was simply because Lian Yun's strength was now overwhelming. Even the so-called Evil Spirit City did not dare provoke him easily; Lian Yun had fought within it for seven nights—a level of power that was unimaginable to Ma Dongshan.
Nevertheless, Lian Yun only offered a few words of encouragement to Ma Dongshan before saying, "Focus on developing people's livelihoods and observe how things unfold."
This statement was directed at both Ma Dongshan and Zhou Tong. In the next moment, Lian Yun vanished from sight.
He did not return to Lejia but directly exited Cloud Emperor City. Soon after, he arrived at King Guang City, the home of the Lian Family.
Three years ago, he had been rescued from this city by Lin Nan and Lin Nan. Now, returning felt somewhat dull and unexciting.
However, Lian Yun did not linger too long. In a few flashes, he reached the outskirts of the Lin Family's residence. Then, with a sweep of his Mental Power, his brows furrowed instantly. With another flash, he arrived at the courtyard where he once lived.
During the recent scan with his Mental Power, he discovered that there was an elderly man in his former courtyard.
The old man's hair was white and dry, unevenly cut, giving him a very disheveled appearance. His training clothes were relatively tidy but stained with dirt, suggesting that he had not moved much over the years and had not changed his clothes.
His eyes were clouded and nearly blind, glimmering with a murky white.
He was an elder who had just reached the Monarch level but was being monitored by nearly ten High-Level Monarchs.
How heartbroken and distressed must one be to fall from Monarch to a newly ascended King? Regardless of how things were in the past, the hatred from three years ago suddenly dissipated from deep within Lian Yun's heart.
The reason Lian Yun came this time was partly due to what he learned in Yin Yang City—that his parents might have known about the alliance's conspiracy long ago. He wondered if they had discussed anything with his grandfather, Lian Shan.
Upon returning and witnessing Huang's attitude towards Ling Er, he thought perhaps it was not himself who suffered the most over these years but this elderly man.
Now seeing him in such a state, having fallen to Elementary King while being watched by ten High-Level Monarchs only confirmed that this elder had endured far worse than himself—perhaps living in a state worse than death all this time.
After observing for a moment, Lian Yun flashed to stand before the old man, sitting across from him. He pulled over a nearby tea table and charcoal stove to start boiling water.
The old man turned his head in confusion to look at Lian Yun. He said nothing and seemed lost in thought, staring blankly at Lian Yun's face, hands, or body as if looking at an unfamiliar object.
“Get lost! Want to die? Entering within a radius of one hundred meters means certain death!”
Lian Yun suddenly spoke these words with an eerie calmness. The elderly man before him seemed oblivious to everything, but outside the courtyard, over a dozen High-Level Monarchs appeared as if struck by lightning, their faces filled with horror as they fled a hundred meters away in a panic.
Soon, many members of the Lian Family gathered a hundred meters away, each wearing a grim expression and eyes filled with terror. Particularly, the current head of the Lian Clan, Lian An, had an almost irreconcilable relationship with Lian Yun.
Then there was his eldest son, Lian Xiong, who was nearly driven to madness by fear.
"Several Elders, may I ask you to enter and speak with him?" Lian An addressed the White-Haired Elders.
This request instantly darkened the faces of the White-Haired Elders. Three years ago, when Lian Yun left, he had personally killed Lian Hao and Lian Jie, his two cousins. If it weren't for the dire circumstances, Lian Xiong would have also been slain by Lian Yun.
This illustrated just how much Lian Yun despised the Lian Family. Now, stepping within a hundred meters of him meant certain death; it was evident that things were dire. The Elders were taken aback that at this moment, Lian An would consider using them as cannon fodder.
While feeling angered, the Elders also experienced profound desolation because these were all choices they had made.
They chose to reject Lian Yun; they chose to imprison Lian Shan; they chose Lian An as the new head of the family. Thus, regardless of any disastrous consequences that followed, it was their own fault—no one else could be blamed.
After a moment of silence, one Elder nodded silently and sighed before stepping forward to seek out Lian Yun for a conversation.
