To be honest, when the Fortress was being established, the members of the Lin Clan felt a bit apprehensive. Many of those who came to help were formidable, with thousands of Monarchs among them, and numerous High Emperors and Peak Monarchs as well.
This made some members of the Seven Great Families, who held relatively high status but lacked strength, hesitant to command them. Even though those Monarchs were very amiable, they still felt intimidated.
Even Lin's Three Uncles and Lin Feiyu shared this sentiment.
During the construction of the Fortress, the Lin Clan members were aware that Lian Yun had a wide network in Yin Yang City. However, when reports started coming in, they were still shocked.
The Yaochi Dungeon, which had not been completed for a hundred years, and the Year Beast BSS were one thing, but Lian Yun single-handedly destroyed a major superpower, the Qin Dynasty, even handing over all its resources.
Just how powerful could he be!
Many felt regretful because they knew that many materials used for building the Fortress were provided by those who came to help. The Lin Clan had just arrived and naturally lacked resources. Moreover, wealth from the Land of Huaxia was practically useless here; even the valuable Spirit Cores paled in comparison to a single White Spirit Coin.
However, despite their regrets, the Seven Great Families that followed the Lin Clan felt fortunate to have come. Although they lacked resources, they had fifty thousand people—ample manpower. Given enough time, they would surely develop into a true superpower.
For a moment, they all thought that Yin Yang City was a place full of opportunities and prosperity.
Yet news about others brought them back to reality.
The information regarding some Monarchs who came to help initially suggested that they had met and gotten along well and would formally establish connections under their own names rather than Lian Yun's.
However, as more information was gathered, they realized that those amiable High Emperors were far from ordinary individuals. In particular, members of the Four Great Families could be described as ruthless.
Through these personal insights, they also learned more about the details of Yin Yang City.
Ultimately, they understood that while they had a good start, what lay ahead was not rapid expansion but rather a need to remain low-key and develop steadily. Only by enhancing their family's strength would they earn the right to associate with those High Emperors and gain genuine recognition from various Major Powers.
Otherwise, if any mishap occurred, the entire Lin Family could face utter ruin. Even if Lian Yun possessed great abilities, he might not be able to turn the situation around.
In simple terms: strengthening oneself through personal effort is the right path. They should also cling tightly to the Lin Clan as a stronghold and refrain from any thoughts of independence or solo development for decades.
After understanding the strength and status of various Major Powers, it was time for detailed arrangements for the banquet.
Then came the menu for the feast.
However, the Lin Clan is currently strapped for cash and cannot provide any good dishes.
It was Qian Duoduo who was more resourceful; he personally invited renowned chefs from the Four Great Cities and funded the ingredients himself. Just the Diamond Spirit Coins alone cost nearly a thousand, and the White Spirit Coins were not even worth mentioning.
Before the banquet began, during the welcoming, the Lin's Three Uncles maintained a low profile, yet there was nothing humble about their demeanor. As the saying goes, "The Lin Clan is new here; we hope to receive your guidance in the future."
The hall was filled with guests, and then came the arrival of the superpowers, bringing gifts that were astonishingly generous, instantly elevating the Lin Clan to a major power status.
Almost last to arrive were Lan Ruoxuan, Azure Drift, Meng Yixuan, along with the Insect Emperor and his generals, as well as Yin Ruoxue, totaling six people.
As they learned about Lian Yun's experiences in Yin Yang City, the members of the Lin Clan naturally also understood the reputation of Azure Pavilion. To exaggerate a bit, it seemed that Lian Yun had spent more time at Azure Pavilion than anywhere else.
Initially, the three members of the Lin Clan and Lin Feiyu were somewhat unclear about this, but upon seeing Lan Ruoxuan, they understood.
The three members of the Lin Clan personally welcomed her and smiled as they said to Lan Ruoxuan, "Although we heard from Yun'er that you have a close relationship with Azure Pavilion, it is only today that we understand why after meeting you, Blue Pavilion Master."
"Oh? What is that reason?" Lan Ruoxuan replied with a hint of indifference but also curiosity.
"The senior shares a similar temperament with our Mother. Compared to Yun'er, she likely feels a maternal care and affection from you, which is why she is so close to you!"
Lan Ruoxuan smiled slightly but shook her head gently.
There might indeed be some care involved, but not indulgence; she herself was unaware of it. Moreover, her relationship with Lian Yun seemed to be more about the promise of revenge and reward!
The Insect Emperor then approached and said, "Child, your maternal family hasn’t offered anything yet. Do you need me to stay here as a guardian?"
Knowing Lian Yun's deeds, the Insect Emperor—this Peerless Monarch—could not be unaware. Upon hearing his words, all seven members of Lin Clan's maternal family felt invigorated.
The Insect Emperor held the title of Emperor and commanded Three Thousand private soldiers. With his addition, the Lin Clan would have six thousand private soldiers. The concept of six thousand Monarchs was almost unbelievable just to imagine.
However, Cheng smiled and shook his head. "With my brother Lin Xiaoyao here, that's enough."
This statement surprised the guests; they all knew who Lin Xiaoyao was. However, since he had been outside the city hunting monsters to earn money after returning, many did not immediately associate him with the Lin Clan.
However, he was essentially someone who had left Yin Yang City relying on his own strength, and his influence was superior to that of many established Peerless Monarchs.
At this point, the Guests realized that even without Lian Yun's involvement, the Lin Clan possessed the capability to become a superpower.
The Insect Emperor did not feel insulted by Lian Yun's rejection; after all, he was the Insect Emperor. He had turned down numerous offers from various factions that presented generous conditions for him to join. Now, when he sought to join the Lin Clan, he was met with refusal.
Though he wasn't angry, the Insect Emperor felt puzzled.
Having two Peerless Monarchs was certainly better than having just one! The Lin Clan was still in its early stages, and with his assistance, their development would undoubtedly accelerate.
Many guests shared this line of thought, but they also considered that Lian Yun's avatar already possessed the strength of a Peerless Monarch, which made it somewhat understandable.
Moreover, while six thousand Monarchs sounded formidable, the recruitment costs were beyond what the Lin Clan could afford.
However, Lian Yun simply raised a finger and smiled lightly, saying, "One year. The Lin Clan only needs to develop for one year to ensure its survival."
If it were in private, Lian Yun would tell the Insect Emperor that after a year, my elder brother Lin Feiyu, Elder Brother Lin Wuji, Third Brother Lin Zixing, and Fourth Brother Lin Ziyou would all surely become Peerless Monarchs.
