Yun Lian crouched on the ground and cried for a long time. Only when she grew tired did she gradually stop. However, her face was still filled with grief.
Jianchen glanced at Yun Lian with mixed feelings. He gently sighed inside before turning to Dugu Feng, "Take the patriarch of the Yun family away. Keep an eye on him. Don't let him get away."
Dugu Feng also sensed that Yun Lian and Jianchen seemed to have a special relationship. Since the patriarch of the Yun family was related to Yun Lian's revenge, he dared not be careless. He nodded sternly, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." With that, Dugu Feng walked out of the room with the mud-like patriarch of the Yun family.
Jianchen looked at Yun Lian. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Come with me to the Kingdom of Gesun."
Yun Lian was slightly surprised when she heard that Jianchen wanted to take her to the Kingdom of Gesun. She suppressed her grief and raised her head to look at Jianchen in confusion. She asked, "Why do I have to go with you to the Kingdom of Gesun?"
"I'm going to confirm something. Perhaps, your family will still be there." Jianchen said softly. He was filled with mixed feelings. Who would have thought that the woman in red he had seen a few days ago could be a member of the Bi family?
"My family?" Yun Lian murmured. Then she shook her head in pain, "No, I have no family. My only family is my mother. Unfortunately, she passed away many years ago. As for my father, he's worse than an animal. He's not fit to be my father. I have to kill him personally to avenge my mother." Yun Lian was filled with pain.
Jianchen slowly walked up to Yun Lian and said again, "Come with me to the Kingdom of Gesun. There's something I need to confirm. It's related to your mother."
"Related to my mother? What is it? "Yun Lian's eyes lit up. She was clearly very concerned about this matter.
"I can't tell you right now. You'll understand when we arrive at the Kingdom of Gesun," Jianchen said sternly.
Yun Lian hesitated. Since this matter was related to her deceased mother, she could not remain indifferent. After a moment of hesitation, Yun Lian finally nodded in agreement to Jianchen's suggestion. She said gently, "Alright, I'll go with you to the Kingdom of Gesun."
"If that's the case, let's go right now." Jianchen said rather eagerly. Afterward, he looked at Ming Dong and the others and said, "I need to return to the Kingdom of Gesun immediately. You can stay here for now. Once I return, crush this piece of jade if you come across any problems that you can't resolve." With that, Jianchen passed a piece of the Mother-Son Twin Stone to Ming Dong. This was a special piece of jade that was most widely used on the Tian Yuan Continent. Once one of them shattered, the other would shatter at the same time, no matter how far away it was. It would serve as some sort of signal to the other party.
Ming Dong and the others also knew that there was more to this matter than met the eye. It was already beyond their imagination, so they didn't say anything.
Ming Dong accepted the piece of jade from Jianchen and said sternly, "Brother, come back soon."
Jianchen nodded. After bidding farewell to everyone, he arrived beside Yun Lian and said, "Is there anything else you need to do? If there's nothing else, let's set off right now."
"I'm fine. It's just that we're very far away from the Kingdom of Gesun. Don't you need to make some preparations?" Yun Lian asked.
"There's no need. We'll get there very soon." Jianchen said. Afterward, he arrived beside Yun Lian and grabbed her arm. With a thought, surging wind elemental energy immediately gathered, enveloping the two of them. Before Yun Lian could react, the surging wind elemental energy carried Jianchen and Yun Lian out of the window. They shot into the sky as a faint, azure streak of light. They moved so quickly that no one on the street could see them clearly.
The sudden increase in altitude caused Yun Lian, who had experienced flying for the first time, to let out a cry of surprise. Her face turned pale with fright. When she regained her senses, she could only hear the whistling of the wind in her ears, causing her waist-long hair to flutter violently. Under her feet, the huge Phoenix City was rapidly shrinking. In just a few breaths, it had become the size of a sandbox. It was easy to see the entire city's appearance. The people on the streets had already become much smaller than ants, making it very difficult to see them clearly.
Yun Lian stared blankly at the city that had shrunk countless times below her. Her eyes were filled with shock. At that moment, she could not be any more shocked. She was extremely shocked.
The city of Fengyang rapidly flew away. It did not take long for it to completely disappear from the horizon. The scenery on the ground gradually faded as well. In the end, it was covered by white clouds. Jianchen had already flown above the clouds with Yun Lian. As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were filled with a sea of white clouds. It was boundless and could not be seen at all.
Only after a long while did Yun Lian return to her senses. Her beautiful eyes were wide open as she stared at Jianchen's handsome face in disbelief. She covered her mouth with her other hand and cried out, "Y- y- you're actually a peak Heaven Saint Master!"
At that moment, Yun Lian's heart was in turmoil. Heaven Saint Masters were peak experts on the Tian Yuan Continent. They stood at the apex of the pyramid. Even in a kingdom, an expert like that would have a lofty status. They would enjoy supreme glory. Even the ruler of a kingdom would have to be polite to them. They would not dare to slight them at all. This was because their existence represented the peak of power in a kingdom. The prosperity and decline of a kingdom completely depended on the strength of a Heaven Saint Master.
Yun Lian had never imagined that this young man who was only in his twenties would actually be a peak Heaven Saint Master. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was an existence akin to a god.
Although the Yun family was a small family, Yun Lian was naturally extremely intelligent as the daughter of the Yun family. She obviously understood what a Heaven Saint Master represented. As long as there was a Heaven Saint Master present, even a small, unknown clan would be able to become one of the most powerful clans in the kingdom.
Yun Lian gently covered her mouth with her hand as she blankly stared at Jianchen. She was unable to return to her senses even after a long while. A Heaven Saint Master was just far too shocking to her.
Jianchen could not help but smile when he saw Yun Lian's shocked expression. However, he did not explain anything. He continued on his way as quickly as he could, eager to return to the Changyang Prefecture as soon as possible so that he could verify Yun Lian's identity.
Under Jianchen's full speed, they returned to the Kingdom of Gesun in just six hours. He did not stop at all, directly heading to Lore City.
Another hour passed just like that. Jianchen finally arrived at Lore City with Yun Lian. The city walls in the distance were clearly visible. They could even see a large number of tents neatly set up outside the city. Banners with the word 'Qin' fluttered in the wind.
During this time, Yun Lian had slowly calmed down. Looking at the encampment that stretched for five kilometers, she asked curiously, "Is that the army of the Qin Emperor?"
"Correct. An army of five hundred thousand from the Qin Empire is stationed there. They are known as the Eastern Sword Legion and are one of the most elite armies of the Qin Empire," Jianchen explained.
"The city up ahead must be the famous Lore City. Looks like the rumors are true. The Qin Empire really does have an extraordinary relationship with the Changyang Prefecture. Even their army is stationed outside Lore City," Yun Lian murmured. Her eyes were filled with envy. The Qin Empire was one of the eight great kingdoms of the Tian Yuan Continent. The Kingdom of Gesun had truly become the ruler of the region with the support of the Qin Empire. No one dared to provoke them.
Jianchen flew very quickly, shooting through the sky like an azure meteor. Before Yun Lian could memorize the landscape, he had already flown into Lore City and landed before a huge mansion. It was the Changyang Prefecture.
"Come in with me!" Jianchen loosened his grip on Yun Lian's shoulder and called out to her before striding toward the entrance of the Changyang Prefecture.
Yun Lian subconsciously studied the mansion before her, but when she saw the words' Changyang Prefecture 'written on the plaque above the entrance, she immediately paled in fright.
Although she had always lived in Fengyang City, she knew extremely well what had happened in the Kingdom of Gesun, especially in Changyang Prefecture.
Although Changyang Prefecture had always kept a low profile in the Kingdom of Gesun, the strength of Changyang Prefecture had been completely exposed to the world after the invasion of the Kingdom of Gesun by the four kingdoms. Afterwards, ten Heaven Saint Masters from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had attacked, but they had been successfully repelled by Changyang Prefecture. They had even killed several experts on the spot. Such glorious battle skills had pushed Changyang Prefecture's prestige to the peak. They had become the publicly acknowledged strongest clan in the Kingdom of Gesun, completely replacing the Huayun Sect and even suppressing the imperial family.
The status of such a huge clan was far greater than that of the tiny Yun family in Fengyang City. In front of such a clan, even the three great clans of Fengyang City were as weak as ants. In the eyes of outsiders, Changyang Prefecture had already become a huge power that surpassed the imperial family.
Yun Lian had never thought that there would be a day when she would stand outside the gates of Changyang Prefecture. This was a huge clan that she could only look up to.
Yun Lian hurriedly grabbed onto Jianchen and said worriedly, "This is Changyang Prefecture. Why did you bring me here? Did you go to the wrong place?"
Jianchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Just follow me in." With that, Jianchen brought Yun Lian to the gates nearby.
Seeing Jianchen's arrival, the two guards at the gates of Changyang Prefecture immediately revealed a look of admiration and respect. They stood even straighter, like a pole. When Jianchen passed by them, the two guards simultaneously bowed and said loudly, "Greetings, Fourth Young Master!"
