Dongyun City
Hearing Li Zelin's words, Qi Yuxuan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He clasped his hands and let out a sigh of relief.
"Not bad, Li Zelin. I didn't expect you to be a member of the Three Extreme Hall's Li Clan. Back then, you seemed so mysterious. You have such a great background!"
"I can't compare to you!"
Li Zelin smiled bitterly. "You even dared to sleep with the Second Miss of the Wang Family. What am I compared to you?"
"You …"
"You've been missing for a while, but the entire Middle Continent is in chaos!" Li Zelin said smilingly.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know this, but the Central State's great danger zone, the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, has actually taken the initiative to appear. This has shocked all the powers in the continent."
"Every year, there will be a period of weakness in the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave. It will only truly open once every three years. However, every time everyone enters, they will not even be able to find the entrance to the palace. As a result, we will lose quite a number of people."
"However, it is said that if anyone can enter the treasure trove left behind by the Ten Thousand Ghost Old Man, they will be able to obtain the Soul Absorbing Pearl that the Ten Thousand Ghost Old Man was famous for, as well as inexhaustible treasures!"
Li Zelin sighed and said, "This is also the reason why even though no one has opened the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cavern for over a thousand years, everyone is still scrambling for it."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun was stunned.
He had just come out from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cavern. He had already taken all the treasures, including the Soul-Devouring Orb.
The palace that appeared was merely the middle of the palace!
Fake acupoints!
This time, with the various major forces taking action, it was destined that they would once again lament their inadequacies.
"Do you know how the Southern Cloud Empire is doing now?"
Li Zelin smiled bitterly and said, "This is the eastern part of the Central Continent. It belongs to the Three Extreme Palace. The Southern Cloud Empire is in the southern part of the Central Continent. It belongs to the Saint Pill Sect and the Heavenly Evil Island. I left the Southern Cloud Empire for some time. After I heard about your deeds in the Southern Cloud Empire, I sent people to inquire about it. However, it will take some time for me to get back to you!"
"Yes!"
Mu Yun nodded.
"However, there is a piece of news that I think I should tell you!"
Li Zelin smiled bitterly and said, "Ten thousand miles away from Cloud Stream City, there is a city called Eastern Cloud City. Eastern Cloud City is a top-tier city with a population of tens of millions. Right now, the forces in Eastern Cloud City are tangled and complicated. Recently, I heard that they are fighting internally to seize the position of City Lord."
"Oh?"
"I know you're not interested in these things, but there's someone you're definitely interested in."
"Who?"
"Moyang!"
Upon hearing this name, Mu Yun was slightly stunned.
Three years ago, Moyang took the Gu Clan's Ancient Sky Ya Sword and left the Shattering Cloud Mountain Range. He left the Southern Cloud Empire and said that he would return in three years and destroy the three great clans.
However, three long years had passed, and Moyang still hadn't returned.
"I didn't know he was here before. It was only recently that I confirmed it!" Li Zelin continued, "Moyang spent three years to establish the Cloud Sect. Right now, the Cloud Sect is considered a major force in Eastern Cloud City. However, Eastern Cloud City is now in chaos. The Poison God Sect, the Yin Yang Faction, and the Saber Alliance all want to seize control of Eastern Cloud City!"
"Therefore, his days are not easy!"
"I understand!"
Mu Yun nodded.
Seeing that Mu Yun didn't have much of an expression, Li Zelin smiled bitterly.
"Instructor Mu, let me tell you about the jurisdiction and distribution of the forces in the Central Continent!"
"Alright!"
Li Zelin smiled and said, "In the entire Tianyun Continent, the only place suitable for human habitation is called the Central Continent. Other than the Central Continent, there is the Southern Barbarian in the South, Northern Di in the North, Western Desert in the West, and Eastern Wilderness in the East. These four places are not suitable for human habitation."
"In the past, the Southern Cloud Empire was a small empire in the southern part of the Central Continent. The truly powerful forces were in the Central Continent region. They constantly spread out and infiltrated the various empires."
"Now, the four desolate lands in the East, West, North, and South can't compare to the Central Continent. Therefore, the most prosperous place in the entire Tianyun Continent is the Central Continent. In the Central Continent, the forces are intertwined and complicated. Small forces need to rely on large forces to survive."
"For example, the Hong Family that manages Cloud Stream City must rely on the Three Heavens Palace. They must pay enough tribute to the Three Heavens Palace in order to continue their management."
Li Zelin changed the topic and said, "However, if the Qi Family's development surpasses the Hong Family, then the Qi Family can completely replace them."
"What about you?"
"Us? Our Three Heavens Palace only cares about collecting enough tribute. As for the rest, unless someone does something that goes against the Three Heavens Palace, we don't care. "
"Then aren't you afraid that the forces below will rebel?"
"Rebel? Rebel with what? "
Li Zelin smiled and said, "Mu Yun, you don't understand this point. The tribute that our Three Heavens Palace collects comes from the Hong Family. Then, the Hong Family will definitely advance layer by layer and let the forces below continue to pay tribute. In this way, who will benefit the most in the end?"
"You guys at the top!"
"That's right. Moreover, this saves us from spending manpower and resources to do these things!"
Mu Yun said again, "Then according to what you said, wouldn't the forces in the Central Continent only consist of you few villains? It's impossible for the others to rise?"
"That's not it!"
Li Zelin smiled bitterly and said, "Three thousand years ago, a heaven-defying genius appeared in the Lightning God Valley. His lightning techniques were wondrous. At that time, under the attack of the Yun Family and the Green Shadow Blood Sect, he forcefully established his own headquarters in the northern part of the Central Continent!"
"The current Lightning God Valley is a great force that no one dares to offend in the Central Continent. As the Valley Master, Lei Zhenzi is famous for his bad temper. Moreover, he is very protective."
"Lightning God Valley …"
Mu Yun secretly remembered this name.
"Alright, that's all I can tell you about this matter." Li Zelin stood up and cupped his hands. "The Three Heavens Palace will not interfere in the matters of Eastern Cloud City for half a year. Therefore, you can do whatever you want. However, the tribute that should be paid cannot be less! "
"What if I don't give it to you?!"
Li Zelin frowned and said solemnly, "Mu Yun, you must not be stubborn. You must lower your head when it's time."
"I understand!"
Li Zelin smiled faintly and left.
Now that this matter was over, there was no point for Mu Yun to stay in Cloud Stream City. Therefore, she followed the map that Li Zelin gave her and headed to Eastern Cloud City.
Eastern Cloud City was extremely vast and accommodated tens of millions of people all year round. If the surrounding small cities and villages were included, there would be more than a hundred million people.
In such a large city, the city walls were dozens of meters tall. When she entered the city, the crowded scene that Mu Yun had imagined did not happen.
On the streets that were dozens of meters wide, people and beasts came and went. The shops on both sides of the streets were lined up neatly with a dazzling array of goods.
"As expected, this Eastern Cloud City is much more prosperous than Cloud Stream City."
Mu Yun had nothing to do as she wandered around and came to a restaurant.
No matter where she was, the restaurant would always be the first to receive news.
"Have you heard? The Alliance Master of the Saber Alliance is dead. Now, the three Vice Alliance Masters under him are fighting for the position of Alliance Master! "
"What do you know? Fighting for the position of Alliance Master is the City Lord of Eastern Cloud City. Who doesn't want to be the City Lord?!"
"Want to be the City Lord? That requires capital. This time, those two from the Divine Poison Sect and the Yin Yang Sect will definitely not be able to hold back and take action. "
"There's also the Yun Sect. The Yun Sect's Sect Master of the Sword Force Swordsman will definitely not stand by and watch."
"The Yun Sect has been established for too short a time and its foundation is not stable. It will be difficult to convince the public. I think this time, the Divine Poison Sect and the Yin Yang Sect are the most likely to take the City Lord position."
Chatter rose and fell around the dining table. Everyone was discussing the matter of the new City Lord of Eastern Cloud City.
After eating, Mu Yun booked a room and entered it to rest.
Secretly, he was not familiar with Eastern Cloud City. It was better for him to find out the details.
Although the Divine Poison Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, and the Saber Alliance were second-rate forces, they could not be underestimated. If there were no experts above the fifth level of the Spirit Conduit realm in their sects, Mu Yun had no worries.
However, if there were old monsters in the seventh, ninth, or tenth level of the Spirit Conduit realm in their sects, it would be difficult.
The reason why he could kill Xue Wushuang was that Xue Wushuang courted death. Originally, he was one with the Divine Weapon. When the Divine Weapon was damaged, he naturally suffered a backlash.
Therefore, he lost more than half of his strength. Coupled with the surprise of the Soul Absorbing Pearl, he was able to win.
Putting these aside, Mu Yun was now more confident in facing experts in the fifth level of the Spirit Conduit realm. However, if there were more opponents, Mu Yun could protect himself. However, he could not take care of the others.
"The Soul Absorbing Pearl, after swallowing the Blood Soul Pearl, can be considered as half a Heaven Artifact. In the future, fight with me again!"
Looking at the Soul Absorbing Pearl in his hand, Mu Yun put his palms together and held the Soul Absorbing Pearl in his palm. He began to comprehend and organize the things that happened during this period of time.
The palace that unexpectedly appeared in the Thousand Ghost Cavern would definitely be the focus of the entire Central State Continent. At that time, it would definitely be a rare chaotic battle.
However, Mu Yun was not worried about this. Anyway, he had already taken all the treasures. Those people who went in would only be courting death.
Another thing was the current Moyang, the Yun Sect!
Hearing the name, Mu Yun knew what this good disciple of his had done in these three years.
"Eastern Cloud City is located in the east. It belongs to the Three Heavens Palace. If I snatch it, I will be restrained by others. It's better to build my own force."
Mu Yun smacked his lips and muttered to himself.
In the middle of the night, a black shadow cut through the night sky and landed on the roof. Four eyes looked into the distance. That figure muttered, "The Yun Sect should be in the north!"
The person who spoke was Mu Yun. After familiarizing himself with Eastern Cloud City, Mu Yun made up his mind to take over Eastern Cloud City first.
He had just arrived in the Central State. There were too many places that he was not familiar with. He needed to explore step by step.
Moreover, the most important thing was that now everyone thought that he was still trapped in the Thousand Ghost Cavern. Little did they know that he had already taken the treasures out to enjoy himself.
