Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Fire City was becoming increasingly chaotic. Lin Yun, who had yet to make a move, was just waiting for Li Tian’s arrival. Half a month later, Li Tian finally reached Fire City. Of course, Imprisoned Dragon and Ning Shuang had come with him.

However, Ning Shuang and Imprisoned Dragon had entered Fire City in secret; they had not arrived alongside Li Tian.

In the main hall of the Celestial Spirit Auction House, Lin Yun met Li Tian. The moment they saw each other, they shared a joyous bear hug. Laughing heartily, Lin Yun said, "Haha, you’re finally here! Your timing is perfect."

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Li Tian smiled faintly. "Young Master Lin, are you preparing to make your move?"

"Mm. I’ve let them run wild for long enough. It’s about time." Lin Yun didn’t hide his intentions, nodding as he spoke.

The "move" Lin Yun spoke of was naturally against the Wei Family. The Wei Family could now basically be considered a vassal of the Qing Zhu Association. Lin Yun certainly couldn’t let such a power remain.

They didn’t discuss business today. Li Tian had just arrived in Fire City, and with Qin Feng also present, the three hadn’t been together in a long time. It was inevitable that they would drink to their hearts’ content.

Martial Artists only got drunk if they chose to. That night, however, Lin Yun, Li Tian, and Qin Feng all drank themselves into a stupor. None of them used their Elemental Power to vaporize the alcohol in their systems, so naturally, they all got drunk.

Lu Bingning and the other two women helped Lin Yun back to his room, while guards from the Celestial Spirit Auction House helped Li Tian and Qin Feng back to theirs.

"Honestly, you’re such a handful. Getting this drunk..." As they helped Lin Yun onto the bed, the three women wiped him down. Otherwise, the reek of alcohol would have been unbearable.

"Li Tian... Drink up! Qin Feng, you brat, why’d you stop drinking?" Lying on the bed, Lin Yun mumbled drunkenly before falling asleep a moment later.

Lu Bingning had a reproachful look on her face, but Lan Xi, standing beside her, giggled. "Sister Bingning, don’t be mad. Don’t you think it’s rare to see him this happy?"

Hearing Lan Xi’s words, Lu Bingning nodded. She knew what Lan Xi said was true. "Sigh... Forget it. He’s under so much stress on a daily basis, always having to think about so many things, not to mention facing a powerful enemy like the Qing Zhu Association."

The night passed without a word. When Lin Yun woke up the next day, he found Lu Bingning and the other two women still sitting by his bed. He patted his dizzy head a few times and chuckled dryly. "Heh, I think I drank a little too much last night..."

"You knew you were drinking too much and you kept going? Honestly," Lu Bingning chided. But despite her reproachful tone, a smile hung on her lips.

Seeing Lin Yun was awake, the young Mo Qingliu rushed into his arms and said playfully, "Brother Yun, you were so gross last night, reeking of alcohol. You’re not allowed to drink that much ever again."

Stroking Mo Qingliu’s head, Lin Yun smiled and nodded.

After getting up and washing, Lin Yun had planned to find Li Tian to discuss matters in Fire City. But just then, an even more shocking piece of news reached Fire City—news that had already spread throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

A massive ruin had appeared in the Mysterious Forest of the Southeast Domain. It wasn’t a Saint’s Relics, but a heart-pounding aura emanated from within it.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yun asked Luo Feng about it. The Flawless Palace had also received the news, and Luo Feng told Lin Yun that this ruin was no simple matter. Although no one could say for sure what it was, one thing was certain: compared to it, even a Saint’s Relics would pale in comparison.

Luo Feng also told Lin Yun that the Celestial Bamboo Saint had already personally rushed to the Southeast Domain. The Flawless Palace was also preparing to dispatch some elite disciples and Supreme Elders, and he urged Lin Yun to set off as soon as possible.

With such a huge, sudden development, Lin Yun and Luo Feng agreed that everyone would rendezvous in the Yanhuang Capital in the Southeast Domain. Coincidentally, this would also give Lin Yun a chance to see his parents.

Luo Feng agreed without hesitation, only reminding Lin Yun to be careful on the road.

Due to this sudden and major event, the attention of all the major powers in the Eastern Domain was now focused on the Mysterious Forest in the Southeast Domain. For the time being, the matters in Fire City were forgotten.

Lin Yun sent for Li Tian and told him about the situation. After hearing Lin Yun’s explanation, Li Tian spoke thoughtfully.

"So, this is a type of ruin that has never been seen before?"

"Mm. But the Celestial Bamboo Saint said that whatever is inside this ruin is enough to tempt even a Saint. That’s why he has already taken the lead and hurried to the Southeast Domain," Lin Yun replied.

Just as Lin Yun and Li Tian were speaking, the Qingfeng Saint and the Flowing Water Saint both emerged from a Space Rift. Seeing the two Saints appear out of nowhere, Li Tian looked at Lin Yun in surprise. ’When did Lin Yun get another Saint on his side?’

"Little Brother Lin Yun, have you heard about the major event in the Southeast Domain?" the Flowing Water Saint asked with a light laugh as she came and sat beside him.

At her words, Lin Yun gave a slight nod. ’What exactly are these ruins that have appeared? Why are all the Saints in the Eastern Domain so tense?’

"So, when do you plan to set out?" the Flowing Water Saint continued.

"Do you two know something? What exactly is this ruin?" Lin Yun asked calmly.

Hearing Lin Yun’s question, both the Qingfeng Saint and the Flowing Water Saint were taken aback. They then exchanged a glance before the Qingfeng Saint finally spoke.

"We don’t know what’s inside the ruin, but it’s as if all the Saints in the Eastern Domain are being summoned by something within it..."

"Summoning?" Lin Yun murmured. ’This is getting more and more interesting. What kind of ruin is this, to possess the Energy to summon Saints?’

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yun made his arrangements. The Qingfeng Saint and the Flowing Water Saint were to head to the Southeast Domain first to see what this ruin was all about. He himself would follow later with Li Tian, Qin Feng, He Yuntian, Bai Zhicheng, and the others. They would all rendezvous at the Yanhuang Capital.

The Qingfeng Saint and the Flowing Water Saint had no objections to Lin Yun’s plan. They set off for the Southeast Domain immediately. A Saint’s speed was extremely fast; at their pace, they could reach the Southeast Domain from here in just three days.

Next, Lin Yun explained the situation to Lu Bingning and the other two women. However, as soon as they heard he was going to Yanhuang Country, all three insisted on going with him. Left with no choice, Lin Yun agreed, but he told them that once they arrived in Yanhuang Country, they had to stay obediently at home. The ruin was too mysterious, and they were not allowed to go.

To this, the three women agreed.

With everything settled, Lin Yun gathered everyone. After such a long period of recovery, everyone’s injuries had fully healed. In the end, Lin Yun, Lu Bingning and the other two women, He Yuntian, Bai Zhicheng, Qin Feng, Li Tian, and the others boarded a Firebird and flew toward the Southeast Domain. As for the other Disciples from the Flawless Palace, they guided another Firebird back to the Flawless Palace.

As for Ning Shuang and Imprisoned Dragon, Lin Yun left the two of them in Fire City to secretly monitor the developments there.
