"Well, don't worry about that!"
Hearing Lin Ray's words, the young man's doubtful expression disappeared and was replaced by a serious one.
The young man had an inexplicable feeling about Lin Ray. He had an impulse to make friends with Lin Ray. However, he gave up the idea in the end.
"Don't worry. I know the severity of this matter. Moreover …"
"Moreover, you may not be able to complete this task. In that case, there's no need to record it!" The young man muttered to himself and did not say it out loud.
"Well, that's good …!"
Linley knew what the young man was thinking, but he didn't say anything. He smiled and put the information of the third mission into his storage ring. Then, he said to the young man, "Okay, Senior Brother, I'll go back first!"
"Well, go ahead!"
"Be careful on your way back!" The young man nodded at Lin Ray and reminded him. Then, he became as lazy as before when Lin Ray arrived. He looked as if he had not woken up yet.
Seeing this, Lin Ray was stunned. Then, he turned around and was about to leave the Task Hall. After all, he had come here to have a look. Accepting the task was just a sudden idea.
Turning around, he stared at the nearby ball of wind, who was smiling at him. Linley felt a headache coming on. "Damn, this guy …"
"Heh, heh, brother, don't think about this place. It's a place for accepting Venerable Grade tasks. Let's not waste time here. Why don't you tell me all the things I asked you before? Isn't it good to make friends?"
Lin Ray's face darkened when he heard Feng Qiu's words. He had a headache and refused without thinking. "No, I like peace and quiet, but you …"
He glanced at Feng Qiu and then looked at the door of the hall. "We're not the same kind of people. Don't bother me in the future. I won't tell you anything. Moreover … even if I know, what can I do?"
"Er … this …"
Feng Qiu was stunned when he heard this. He was in a daze and nobody knew what he was thinking.
"Good chance!"
Lin Ray said to himself. Then, he exerted his Divine Emperor Realm cultivation and used the basic footwork, the Butterfly Steps. In a flash, Lin Ray disappeared from where he stood.
When he appeared again, he was already at the entrance of the hall. He turned around and looked at Feng Qiu, who was still standing there in a daze. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a trace of disdain. "If I still can't get rid of you, then …"
"Sigh, forget it! Let's just hurry! " Halfway through, Lin Ray didn't continue. Instead, he turned around and used the Butterfly Steps. His entire body was like a butterfly as he instantly floated up.
That's right, he was floating, not flying. The direction Lin Ray was flying towards was none other than his own residence.
In the Mission Hall, Feng Qiu, who was still in a daze, finally regained his senses after an unknown period of time. However, Feng Qiu did not give up like Lin Ray had expected. Instead, a glint flashed across his eyes.
"No, a person must persevere. How can I give up halfway?" Feng Qiu nodded solemnly as he thought about it. Then, he smiled and turned around to rush out of the hall. His speed was astonishing.
If Linley was here and saw the speed of the ball of wind, he probably would have been shocked as well. Because the shape of the ball of wind … was simply too round and smooth. Thus … there was no way he could have imagined that the ball of wind could move as fast as the wind.
"Heh … Lin Ray, I didn't expect you to overestimate yourself and accept the task of a Venerated Realm expert. It's not that we don't want to let you go. You're the one who brought this upon yourself. You can't blame anyone else."
At this moment, not long after Lin Ray and Feng Qiu left the Mission Hall, a man walked out from behind a stone pillar beside the Venerated Realm expert. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked in the direction where Lin Ray and Feng Qiu had left.
"Got it. Let's go back! Send someone to stop Lin Ray's task later! " Another man appeared. "Although Lin Ray has accepted the task of a Venerated Realm expert, it's better to be careful just in case."
"Yes, I understand!"
Lin Ray was completely unaware of this. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't be bothered by it. In his eyes, these people were just clowns.
At this moment, Lin Ray, who had just left the Mission Hall, returned to his courtyard. Looking at the house that he had just moved in and was about to leave, Lin Ray sighed. "It seems that I can't stay in one place for too long in this life."
After saying that, a gloomy expression appeared on his face. His heart was filled with desolation. This … was the price to pay to become a powerful expert.
"Forget it!"
He sighed and looked at his house again. Then, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard without hesitation.
He had to leave. The first reason he accepted the task was to go out for a walk. After all, there was still a long way to go. The second reason was to avoid Su Ziqing, Feng Qiu and … Liu Yuanqi.
The three of them together would kill him sooner or later. Therefore, before they killed him, Lin Ray had to leave first.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had to find a breakthrough in his cultivation. As the System said, although he could make breakthroughs in his cultivation by living a stable life … it was not his final destination.
Not hesitating in the slightest, Linley left the courtyard. Circulating his Deity Emperor level of power, he instantly soared into the skies. Perhaps others would feel fear, dread, or worry towards those runes in the air, but … in front of Linley, those runes were like illusions.
His speed was astonishing. In an instant, in just an instant, Lin Ray disappeared into the sky.
In the instant that Linley left, the sphere of wind, which had left the main hall, hurried all the way to the Random Residence.
"Humph, let's see if you can escape this time. If you don't tell me, I'll stay here every day. I'll eat your food and live in your house until you tell me." Feng Qiu didn't know that Lin Ray had already left. Muttering to himself, he pushed open the door and walked in.
If Lin Ray were here and saw Feng Qiu's reaction, he would definitely burst out laughing. But at the same time, he would be very glad that he had left before Feng Qiu arrived. Otherwise …
If Feng Qiu had really done what he had said, and he had to pay for everything, Lin Ray would have gone crazy …
Now that he had left, he didn't have to worry about anything. He just had to stay away for a few years before the end of the task.
Half a month later …
Tianyuan City was a city located at the center of the Ninth State. It could be said to be a lawless area. Of course … it could not be said to be lawless. After all, there was a city governor's mansion in Tianyuan City that ruled over the entire city.
At this moment, people were coming and going at the city gate. Everyone was smiling, and regardless of whether they were ordinary people or cultivators, they all seemed very friendly, as if they were old friends.
However, there was one person who seemed to be an exception. He had delicate features, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and snow-white skin. He wore a white Confucian robe, and held a folding fan in his hand. He stood on the side of the road, looking at the people coming and going with a puzzled expression.
"Damn, am I seeing things?"
Looking at the people coming and going, and the smiles on their faces, the young man knew that the smiles on everyone's faces were real.
If you wanted to see if a person's expression was real, you had to look into their eyes. At this moment, there was no hiding the happiness and happiness in their eyes.
"Heh heh, young man, this must be your first time in Tianyuan City!" Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind him and grabbed his shoulder, followed by a deep male voice.
"Hmm?" Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man standing there with a smile on his face.
"Little brother, the city lord of our Tianyuan City is a Supreme God. Under his rule, all of us are very happy. Moreover … the most important thing is that cultivators and ordinary people like us don't bully each other."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, the young man's furrowed brows relaxed.
"Yes! Here, only friendly people are allowed to enter. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the city, then that person will not be allowed to enter or leave. "
"Oh?"
"Heh … In Tianyuan City, there are a few unwritten rules that no one can violate. Even the Sect Leaders of the Seven Great Sects would not dare to violate them."
Hearing this, Lin Ray's interest was piqued. If what the middle-aged man said was true, then this place was really a paradise.
There was no fighting, no hatred, no bloodshed, and no deception. There was only kindness between people. If such a place was not a paradise, then what was it?
"What kind of rules are they? To be able to manage a city in such a manner, I'm very interested."
"May I know how to address you? I am Gong Jun, a native of Tianyuan City." At this time, Gong Jun did not rush to answer but introduced himself.
"Hehe, Brother Gong, nice to meet you. I am Lin Ray. I heard that Tianyuan City was special, so I came here to take a look. But … I did not expect Tianyuan City to be so incredible."
"Hahaha, so it is Brother Lin. Yes … I will tell you as we walk."
Hearing Lin Ray's name, Gong Jun laughed loudly and then dragged Lin Ray into Tianyuan City.
Yes, Lin Ray was Lin Ray who had been traveling for half a month. Lin Ray did not rush all the way. After all, he wanted to slow down. So far, he had been traveling as if he was enjoying the scenery.
Finally, after half a month, he arrived at his destination, Tianyuan City. Liu Yuan was the City Lord of Tianyuan City in front of him. He was also the ruler of this paradise.
After being dragged into the city by Gong Jun, they did not stop. Although Gong Jun said that they would talk on the way, in fact, Gong Jun did not say a word. Lin Ray was not in a hurry. After all, he had just arrived at an unfamiliar place. It was better to learn from Gong Jun.
In the east of the city, in front of a Gong Family Restaurant. Gong Jun and Lin Ray stopped in front of the Gong Family Restaurant. Lin Ray, who was beside them, saw the restaurant sign and could not help but think of something.
"F * ck, is this f * cking soliciting customers?" Lin Ray could not help but think of the hotel owners in his hometown who solicited customers at the station.
The scene now was very similar.
"Brother Lin, this is my restaurant. Although it is not as big as a restaurant, it is still very good!" He turned to Lin Ray and said.
"Uh … this is … a small restaurant?" Hearing Gong Jun's words, Linley was startled. Turning his head, he stared at the enormous building in front of him. As Linley saw it, this wasn't just some freaking small restaurant. This was far better than any restaurant Linley had seen in the past.
Moreover … just the fragrance of the dishes that came out of the restaurant made Lin Ray's mouth twitch. He had an impulse to go in and try it.
"Uh … hehe, let's go in and have a look. It is fate that we met. Today, I will treat you. Let's go …"
"I …"
He was just about to say something, but before he could say anything, he felt a force pulling him into the restaurant.
"Here it is. Your braised bear paw. Enjoy!"
"Your … snow wolf meat!"
At this moment, Lin Ray was pulled into the restaurant by Gong Jun. The moment he stepped through the door of the restaurant, he felt a cooling sensation. Accompanying the cooling sensation was the sound of chatter and the sound of the waiter serving the dishes.
The scene was very lively. Although the restaurant was very big, the first floor was already full. In fact, it was going to be completely full soon.
"Let's go. We will talk while we eat. Today, I will tell you about the rules and benefits of our Tianyuan City. I guarantee that you will not want to leave after hearing it."
"Uh, is that so?" Seeing Gong Jun being so enthusiastic, Lin Ray was not used to it. However, in the face of such enthusiasm, Lin Ray did not know how to refuse.
"Okay, let's go!" He left as soon as he said he would, without the slightest hesitation. Looking at Gong Jun's back, Linley could only sigh helplessly and follow him.
"In our Tianyuan City, you can stay as long as you want. Nobody will care. Moreover … in this place, you will not be bullied by cultivators. They will even help ordinary people."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Gong Jun's face. "This is all thanks to City Lord Liu Yuan. You might not be able to imagine it, but this Tianyuan City used to be a city of evil. Killing and plundering were the main things here. However … ever since City Lord Liu Yuan arrived, everything changed. There's no more killing like before. There's only innocence and mutual help."
"Oh? Why is that? "
Hearing this, Lin Ray was slightly surprised. To be able to turn a city of evil into a paradise, Lin Ray found it hard to imagine what Liu Yuan was thinking.
Seeing the confusion on Lin Ray's face, Gong Jun smiled and said, "Actually, it might be because of the City Governor's daughter. I heard that the City Governor used to be a killing god. However, because he had too many enemies, in the end, those bastards turned their attention to the Eldest Young Miss. Although the City Governor saved the Eldest Young Miss, for some reason, after that day, the Eldest Young Miss fell ill. It was a kind of illness that even the City Governor was helpless to treat."
For this reason, the City Governor even visited all the alchemists in the Divine Realm. However … in the end, the result was that they were powerless.
Perhaps it was because of this that the City Governor left the path of killing. Perhaps it was to atone for his sins, or perhaps it was for something else.
