After the impact of the Ultimate Emperor, Lian Yun entered a state of recovery, spending each day by Grandma's side and occasionally making an appearance in Cloud Emperor City.
A few days later, at a certain moment, the capital suddenly trembled, and then a massive phantom appeared, its form partially enveloping the entire city.
“Flesh and Blood Person can choose to become either an Innocent Civilian or a Fierce Commoner. A Demon Hunter can only become a Fierce Commoner.”
“An Innocent Civilian will lose all realms and cannot be attacked by a Fierce Commoner.”
“A Fierce Commoner, based on their current realm, can be divided into soldiers, officers, and generals. Ten generals can support one as their ruler, or one who defeats ten generals can establish themselves as ruler. A Sovereign can govern a Base City and seize a Captive Realm.”
“The competition begins at midnight three days from now.”
Upon hearing the announcement, Lian Yun immediately soared into the air, approaching the massive phantom with a frown. “Zhang Senior?”
It was indeed Zhang Jiao, whom Lian Yun had been searching for but had lost track of.
The enormous face of Zhang Jiao bore a calm smile as he said, “As the Demon Master Emperor mentioned, if I become the foundational soul of this city with Second Brother, I will eventually regain my physical form and be reborn as a human. The treasure lies within your Cloud Emperor City.”
“After sensing your return months ago, I have been looking for traces of you. In three days, I will lose my autonomy and be controlled by the formation of the earth. If fate allows it, when we meet again, we shall both be part of humanity.”
It was akin to the state of being enslaved by the task officer in Yin Yang City.
Originally, Lian Yun thought that Zhang Jiao had been captured to serve as the foundational soul for the formation; unexpectedly, he was willing to do so. Since it was voluntary, there was little for Lian Yun to say. He nodded and descended back to Grandma, looking at her and saying, “Grandma, please take Grandpa to Yin Yang City.”
Clearly, those who chose to become an Innocent Civilian would lose their powers, while those who chose to be a Fierce Commoner would not be allowed to reside in any of the twelve formation base cities.
It was certain that the Peerless Demon Master aimed to protect the lives of ordinary citizens; thus, there was no need for Grandma to stay behind.
Moreover, if Lin Jin was planned to be a Fierce Commoner, she would have to leave this place. It had reached a point of no return; the nation would not face an extinction crisis, so there was indeed no reason for her to stay.
Grandma sighed helplessly but still shook her head.
"Grandma!" Lian Yun said, a bit angrily.
"How can your grandfather reach the Twelve Cities when he is in such a confused state?"
"I will have Uncle and the others send someone to look for him. When they find Grandfather, they will bring him back to the camp."
Grandma still shook her head, unable to put her mind at ease.
Lian Yun took a deep breath, feeling quite helpless as well. However, his eyes suddenly sharpened with determination. He then headed towards Cloud Emperor City, temporarily ignoring Zhang Bao, who had transformed into a giant soul like Zhang Jiao, and instead sought out Zhou Tong to request the claw of the Locust.
Zhou Tong looked at him and asked, "Lord, you are~~~"
"Not~~" Before he could finish his sentence, Lian Yun vanished from the spot, leaving Zhou Tong looking bewildered.
Once back at the Lin family, Lian Yun instructed Grandma and Master Pang to prepare briefly before entering Fengdu Center alone, the very cavern where the Locust had once transformed.
The central pool lacked any low-grade spirit liquid; it seemed Zhou Tong had sent someone to collect it. Thus, Lian Yun did not think too much about it.
After returning to the capital, Lian Yun brought with him a piece of Yaochi Essence and transferred Lin Jin into it. He then took Grandma and Master Pang to Fengdu Center.
Since the Half-Emperor Evil Spirit had not been killed there, Fengdu would become an extremely dangerous place in three days. However, with the claw of the Locust in hand, this location was the safest place.
This was Lian Yun's only choice.
Although the cave was simple, Grandma was quite satisfied, especially with the pool in the center. She felt that the spiritual liquid there would be of great benefit to Lin Jin.
Even though there was no spiritual liquid at the moment, she had waited for over twenty years; a few more years were nothing to her.
After settling Lin Jin in the pool, Grandma nodded with satisfaction and then looked at Master Pang. "Old Pang, I’m worried about Yun'er being alone outside. Please go assist him!"
Master Pang nodded without saying much.
This place was the center of Evil Spirit City. Although he had a half-finger's worth of power, he was still a Spirit and could potentially cause unnecessary trouble.
Lian Yun furrowed his brow slightly but still nodded helplessly. He certainly did not mind Master Pang's assistance; he was just concerned about his grandmother being left unattended.
However, Grandma had already celebrated her sixtieth birthday and had reached a level of strength where she could sustain herself by absorbing Earth Spirit Energy. As long as nothing unexpected happened here, she would be safe.
Nonetheless, Lian Yun used his own power to leave behind hundreds of bottles of spiritual liquid and half of a Half-Emperor Spirit Core for her. If necessary, she could use the Spirit Core to divert enemies and escape.
Grandma did not refuse this offer. On one hand, she wanted some means of self-protection; on the other hand, she felt that if she declined, her grandson would likely become furious.
In truth, Grandma was somewhat looking forward to seeing her grandson lose his temper because it had never happened before. She wanted to witness it, but she also felt a bit scared; after all, if her grandson became stubborn, there would be little she could do about it.
Especially now that he was much stronger than her; she felt even more helpless against him.
After Lian Yun set up several formations at the cave entrance to conceal their presence and hide their aura, he took Master Pang and left as quickly as possible using the Sword Control Technique.
He was worried that upon entering the inner regions, the Half-Emperor Evil Spirit at the center would go berserk.
In just a couple of breaths, Lian Yun reached the edge of Fengdu and sensed an extremely powerful aura flash through Fengdu Center before quickly dissipating. Although he was concerned about Grandma's situation, he had no intention of returning; if he did, it would lead to endless troubles.
The Lin Family was now without anyone, so after Lian Yun returned, he could only use the Sword Control Technique to transport several massive stone boxes to Cloud Emperor City.
Upon his return, Lian Yun approached Zhang Bao, exchanged a few words, and then entered Cloud Emperor City.
As soon as he arrived, Zhou Tong said, "My Lord, many Monarch families have sent requests hoping to join us."
"Not for now. Do you have any suggestions for a base location, Master Pang?"
Zhou Tong immediately displayed a rather satisfied and charming smile.
It was important to note that the King could absorb the Realm Power of captives. If too many Monarchs were accepted, it naturally meant that Lian Yun would have less Realm Power to absorb.
Thus, even if he needed to recruit people in the future, it would depend on their abilities and performance.
In summary, the goal was to strive for excellence rather than simply increasing numbers.
Ma Dongshan hurriedly opened a Huaxia Map. After Zhou Tong's smile faded, he suddenly expressed some dissatisfaction, saying, "Fengdu is not an option; let's choose this place instead. What does Master Pang think?"
