Under the guidance of Liu Haitao, Yan quickly gained fame in the Demon Realm. However, his status as a high-ranking noble still led many High Nobles to look down on him.
It was rare to see Ghost Slaves around the core members of those High Nobles.
To address this, Lian Yun worked tirelessly for half a year, elevating his status to that of a High Noble. Yet, he did not sever ties with the Abed Family and remained a vassal to them.
In gratitude for the assistance he received, he often contributed excess "wealth."
This seemingly unintentional act brought him unexpected rewards.
Half a year later, Abed, recognizing Yan's sense of timing and gratitude, invited him to his home as a guest. After dinner, Abed met with Lian Yun in an exquisite meeting room.
After gesturing for Lian Yun to sit down, he asked, "I have observed your various actions since arriving here. Based on your abilities and your elusive identity, you must be a person from Huaxia who has returned from Yin Yang City, intending to search for some relatives in our Demon Realm, correct?"
As the lord of a city, Abed was certainly not lacking in wisdom.
Considering that there was less than half a year left, Lian Yun replied somewhat truthfully, "A friend of mine in Yin Yang City provided me with much help. I came to the Demon Realm to help him find his relatives. I just don’t know if I truly haven’t found them or if I have encountered them but failed to recognize them because their appearances do not match my friend's description."
This response mirrored Yan's attitude towards Abed—expressing gratitude.
Abed nodded and asked, "If you find them, will you return to Yin Yang City?"
"Yes. The opportunities to advance to Half Emperor are greater in Yin Yang City. With my current abilities, leaving there won’t be too difficult in the future; it will just take some time. But for us, what we lack the least is time."
This statement was very genuine because it reflected what Yan truly intended to do.
Thus, Abed had no reason to suspect anything.
Seeing this, Lian Yun took the opportunity to bow slightly and said, "Originally, I planned to leave all my wealth to your family after finding my friend's relatives. However, I am now eager to return to Yin Yang City. Therefore, I wonder if I could use this as leverage to request your assistance?"
"Oh~~ Since you know we have long lifespans, why are you so eager to leave? Are you not comfortable here?"
Yan shook his head and nodded at the same time. "Since coming here, the trading chips I have used were brought from Yin Yang City and converted here. I didn’t expect searching for people in the Demon Realm would be so difficult; thus, I didn’t bring much wealth."
"And there are some opportunities in Yin Yang City that are not merely a matter of time; once missed, they may be difficult to encounter again. If it weren't for wanting to repay my friends for their repeated assistance, I actually wouldn't want to leave Yin Yang City."
This statement held a ninety-nine percent truth. After arriving in the Demon Realm, the wealth he had traded was primarily obtained by absorbing Mental Potions and then extracting his own Mental Power as the trading currency. Some opportunities in Yin Yang City were indeed as Lian Yun had mentioned, such as the rewards from Yaochi Dungeon; aside from Lian Yun and Xiao Jun, no one else would be able to obtain them.
Moreover, if it weren't for Grandma's Sixty Birthday Celebration, he wouldn't have decided to leave Yin Yang City within three years. Especially after witnessing the uniqueness of Yin Yang City, he had even considered staying until he became a Half Emperor before departing.
Additionally, no Spirit that entered Yin Yang City from the Demon Realm had ever returned, which made Abed realize that the Spirits in Yin Yang City were not incapable of leaving; they simply did not wish to do so.
At this moment, however, Abed seemed to be thinking about wealth. His eyes brightened as he nodded and said, "So you can still bring out a large amount of wealth from Yin Yang City?"
Yan furrowed his brows because he 'did not want to leave Yin Yang City.'
"You've been in the Demon Realm for quite some time now; you should know that our Major Powers in the Demon Realm have basically formed. Especially among us High Nobles, if we want to advance again without external resources, it's nearly impossible. For us, the greater the wealth we possess, the greater our chances of becoming a Half Emperor."
"If there were any other way, I wouldn't want to put you in a difficult position! However, right now you are my only hope."
Yan gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder how much wealth you need, and is there a time limit?"
"How long will it take to accumulate the wealth you bring out this time?"
"Accumulating this amount of wealth isn't an issue; the main problem lies in the permissions to leave Yin Yang City and the quantity I can carry out. If I return to Yin Yang City and wish to come back, it would take at least ten years."
"This amount of wealth? Hmph, no wonder you all don't want to leave Yin Yang City." Abed sighed with a hint of longing in his voice.
Although Yan was already a High Noble, among all High Nobles he was definitely at the bottom; his wealth might not even amount to one-tenth of Abed Family's.
Yet this was the accumulation of their entire family over more than a hundred years. If Yan wanted it, he could easily possess wealth exceeding that of Abed Family at any time.
How could Abed not be amazed?
"Sir, unless absolutely necessary or with no other options left, please do not entertain wild thoughts. Perhaps I did not understand earlier; maybe within ten years I could leave Yin Yang City again, but it is also possible that I may never be able to leave. Even if my strength were to increase tenfold or a hundredfold."
Yan spoke sincerely.
Abed took a deep breath, and his gaze towards Yan became even friendlier.
It was important to note that if Yin Yang City were not dangerous, and wealth could be obtained as easily as Yan suggested, perhaps the Half Emperors of the Demon Realm would have already migrated to Yin Yang City.
However, knowing this was one thing; Yan's heartfelt reminder was another. At the very least, it showed that Yan genuinely cared about Abed.
He truly was a person who understood gratitude.
Abed nodded but said, "If you haven't found the person you're looking for beneath the two Pharaohs and the Demon Empress, then it's likely that the person you seek is within the palaces of the two Pharaohs and the Demon Empress."
"I can take you to the palaces of the two Pharaohs and the Demon Empress once, but I cannot guarantee that you will find the person you are looking for. Even if you do find them, I cannot assure you that you will be able to purchase their identity."
"How about this? I will first take you to see all the Spirits under the two Pharaohs and the Demon Empress. If we don't find anyone there, then I will take you to their palaces. During this time, any expenses incurred, including those for potential purchases, will need to be reimbursed by you at three times their value. And you, Yan, my friend, may only emerge once every twenty years, but you must bring out as much wealth as possible until your debts are cleared."
"I am willing to pay five times the reward. Thank you, Mr. Abed," Yan quickly bowed in response.
