Chapter 1292 - 1259: Arrangements Before Departure
Cyan Dragon City, City Lord’s Mansion
On a pavilion, Babylon was savoring fine wine while looking at Lin Yi in front of him:
"Have you made your decision?"
Lin Yi, however, was looking down at the garden below the pavilion, where Gongsun Bo and others were seated in a kiosk, and he spoke:
"This time, only the Demon King level of the Demon Race is involved. I think these people’s strength is enough to ensure the safety of the Hundred Races in the Eastern Continent."
Babylon was noncommittal:
"What about the Western Continent?"
"Western Continent?"
Lin Yi furrowed his brows and contemplated.
Shortly afterward, Lin Yi sighed softly, found the [Heaven-Reaching Jade Disc] from his backpack, and tossed it towards Babylon:
"Hold onto this for me. It should come in handy at a critical moment."
Sealed within the [Heaven-Reaching Jade Disc] are Orochi and the Eight-Clawed Fire Python, both Primordial Fierce Beasts of True Divine Level.
Before the arrival of Gongsun Bo and these Divine Kings, this was Lin Yi’s greatest safeguard against the Demon King’s invasion.
But now, with the participation of Gongsun Bo and others,
The Demon King, who was once Lin Yi’s biggest concern, has now become insignificant.
It was because of their presence that Lin Yi finally made up his mind and decided to find a place to focus on leveling up.
Not coming out until reaching True God (Lv85).
The decision is driven by two reasons.
Firstly, to ascend to the top of the Endless Tower and personally unveil all the mysterious veils over himself and this World;
Another reason... Perhaps it’s to escape;
When Lin Yi realized that Zhang Xinying might have inherited her past life’s memories, he feared losing her and chose this foolish way to avoid the changes happening to Zhang Xinying.
Lin Yi was afraid of seeing another version of her, a version that doesn’t belong to him, in her eyes.
While Babylon was still staring at the [Heaven-Reaching Jade Disc], Lin Yi stood up and said:
"I’m leaving first."
Babylon snapped back from his trance, about to say ’Okay,’ but Lin Yi had already vanished from the spot.

Goryeo War Zone, Xinquan City
The leading figure of the Goryeo War Zone, Cui Dongxu, was returning from [Paradise Island] with his Guild members when a Warlock named Jiang Shangyou beside him asked:
"President Cui, shall we continue?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Dongxu widened his eyes:
"Damn it! There’s still one chance left, why wouldn’t we use it? Do you really need to ask? Damn!"
Jiang Shangyou nodded repeatedly:
"Alright! Alright!"
"Then everyone, prepare for the third raid on [Paradise Island]."
Just as Jiang Shangyou was about to select the destination, he suddenly heard Cui Dongxu roar:
"Feng!! Hua!!"
Cui Dongxu’s eyes were wide open with anger, veins bulging on his neck, and his eyes filled with disbelief and a raging fury.
The sudden scene had everyone around standing still, afraid to move.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shangyou’s eyes were torn between the [Confirm Travel] and [Cancel] options, uncertain of what to choose.
Before anyone could grasp what had happened, Cui Dongxu grabbed Jiang Shangyou’s collar, nearly roaring:
"Feng Hua is launching a city seizing against the 2nd Border City! Immediately arrange the defense roster!"
With that said, he shoved Jiang Shangyou roughly.
Jiang Shangyou stumbled, crawling and replying:
"Alright! Alright!"
But his mind was still a whirlpool of confusion,
Or rather, shocked by the sudden news and unsure how to react.
"Feng Hua is launching a city seizing against Goryeo War Zone’s 2nd city?!"
Shengshi Drunken was looking shockingly at Shengshi Wei Xiao:
"When did this happen?"
"Just now!"
While speaking, Wei Xiao pulled out a chat screenshot:
"The people over there in Goryeo just informed me of this news."
Saying this, Wei Xiao found it amusing yet unbelievable:
"Now the Goryeo War Zone is in complete chaos!"
"Those high-level players who logged off were all summoned back online."
"A single city seizing war has thrown the entire Goryeo War Zone into turmoil."
Shengshi Drunken:
"You can’t overlook who applied for the city seizing war."
Then, Shengshi Drunken couldn’t help but mutter to himself:
"He did say seize four cities and not a single one could be left out!"
"Is there any news from Feng Hua over there?"
Shengshi Drunken curiously asked:
"Isn’t there a need for us to get involved?"
Saying this, Shengshi Drunken himself found it amusing:
"At this rate, our big guilds will really have no sense of presence."
But just after he spoke, Wei Xiao replied:
"There actually is!"
At this moment, Wei Xiao shared the chat interface:
"Just received, still fresh."
And inside the chat interface that Wei Xiao shared, was a dialog box between Wei Xiao and Lin Yi.
However, the latest message in that dialog box was only a few seconds old:
Feng Hua (private chat): "Take over the Goryeo 2nd city in one hour."
Seeing this message, Shengshi Drunken was driven to tears:
"This Feng Hua."
"Really treats us like his lackeys."
Wei Xiao looked at the indignant Shengshi Drunken and asked:
"Are we still going?"
Shengshi Drunken instantly changed his expression:
"Go!"
"Why wouldn’t we go?"
"If we secure this city, we’ll have a 100% experience bonus, a fortune many people would dream of."
Thinking for a moment, Shengshi Drunken continued:
"To be safe,"
"Let’s swap out the third group from the He Clan’s 1st city and go together."
"Anyway, the He Clan’s cities are safe for the short term."
Wei Xiao nodded:
"Good!"
"I’ll handle this."
...
...
After handing over the required items for city seizing, Lin Yi used the Teleportation Array to directly transport to the 2nd Border City in the Goryeo War Zone.
Within the Rafam Continent, the geography of the Goryeo War Zone is similar to that of the He Clan’s War Zone.
They’re both surrounded by the sea, and each city is built on an island.
The 2nd Border City is no exception.
As Lin Yi’s feet touched the soft sandy beach, a sea breeze carrying a salty and fresh scent blew toward him.
The waves rhythmically lapped against Lin Yi’s ankles.
Through the coconut groves ahead, Lin Yi could clearly see the brightly lit giant city in the distance.
He could even clearly see the bustling figures on the city, appearing very busy.
The Jade Qilin walked beside Lin Yi, looking at Lin Yi reluctantly and asking:
"Master, are you sure you want to go into seclusion (level up)?"
"If so, I won’t be able to eat Black Forest Cake for quite a while."
Lin Yi, facing the sea breeze and looking at the busy city far away, half-jokingly said:
"You could choose to stay behind, no need to accompany me."
Hearing this, the Jade Qilin was terrified and said:
"No, no, no!"
"Wherever you go, I’ll follow."
"Not eating it for a year or so, this little guy can wait."
At this moment, Lin Yi’s clone appeared beside Lin Yi, giving Lin Yi a look as if disappointed:
"If you’re upset, why not ask her directly?"
"Can you escape for a moment, are you planning to hide from her forever because of this?"
"You don’t act like a man at all."
"If you’re shy to ask, tell me, I’ll go and ask her for you."
But at this moment, Lin Yi shouted:
"Enough!"
"I brought you here to seize the city, not to give lectures."
"My affairs don’t concern you."
Looking at the giant city in the moonlight far away, Lin Yi cryptically said:
"I can agree to your terms."
"But my only requirement is to protect her until I return."
"If you speak out of turn or fail any of my demands, you’ll never see the light of day again."
With that, Lin Yi took a step towards the Border City of the Goryeo War Zone.
Watching Lin Yi’s back, the clone couldn’t help but sneer:
"Ha~ You dare threaten me? You..."
"Great!"
Afterward, the clone mocked itself:
"I’m pathetic."
