The Cloud King City was large, much larger than the East Spirit City. The city walls were tall and sturdy. On top of the walls stood many warriors that looked like javelins. It was an awe-inspiring sight.
Lu Li had to pay 10 million celestial stones to get in. It was a testament to the high standard of the city.
Even with such a high entrance fee, it was still crowded. Lu Li took a look and found there were at least 10 million warriors in the city.
Not every warrior could come in. Usually, they were at the Emperor Realm or Saint King Realm. The number of people who passed six trials was pitifully low.
The patrolling warriors in the city were all Saint King Realm warriors. Granted, there were only 10 warriors in a team, but it was a bit extravagant for the regular army to use Saint King Realm warriors.
When he entered the city, the warriors outside the city told Lu Li that no fighting was allowed in the city. Otherwise, all warriors would die without exception.
Lu Li was not panicked. Instead, he was overjoyed.
At least he was safe in the Cloud King City. If the powerful warrior chasing after him dared to do anything, he would die as well.
Lu Li didn't dare to be careless after he came in. He went to a tavern at once and asked the waiter for information. He was relieved to make sure that the Cloud King City's ruler was not on good terms with the Duan Family.
He planned to stay in the city for a while and find out the situation at the East Region.
By the time they reached Cloud King City, they were only halfway there. The latter half of the journey would be more difficult.
Therefore, if he rashly went into the East Region without any information, it would be miserable.
He had made a fortune from the dead at the Wretched Land and had a huge amount of wealth.
It would be safer if there were merchant ships.
He wouldn't mind even if he had to pay billions of celestial stones. When he was dead, all his worldly possessions would belong to others.
"That powerful warrior is in the city!"
Zixi said after they sat in the tavern for a while. The Qianye Race's senses were even better than Lu Li's. Zixi could sense Duan Ni's qi and energy.
Lu Li nodded and said, "Keep sensing and see if he is near."
Zixi closed her eyes. After a while, she said, "He is nearby, not too far away. He has entered a tavern."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. If Duan Ni didn't dare to come to the tavern directly, then he wouldn't do anything in the city. At least, he was safe in the city.
He was not in a hurry, so he rested in the inn and let Zixi protect him.
He decided to take a good rest and recover to his peak state first. The aftereffects of the Swift Art were very strong.
Duan Ni could sense Lu Li's qi and energy. She could easily locate where Lu Li was.
But he didn't dare to act recklessly.
He was confident that he could kill Lu Li in an instant. That being said, he knew that once he did so, he would die for sure. Not even his Family Patriarch could save him.
The fact that Lu Li was in a coma was proof that he had used some secret skill to be so fast.
He checked carefully and was sure that Lu Li was at the Emperor Realm. He was even more surprised.
At this moment, he finally understood why his Family Patriarch asked him to bring Lu Li back.
There were too many strange things about Lu Li. He must have several powerful skills. If they could acquire those skills, it would be of great benefit to the Duan Family.
"I have to think of something!"
Duan Ni thought about it. After a while, he walked out of the tavern and went to a castle in the city. There were guards outside the castle. Duan Ni took out a token and said, "Please tell them that Duan Ni is here to see Patriarch Yun Zhongtian."
No warrior in the city could use force. The only ones that could were warriors of the Yun Family. Therefore, Duan Ni had to rely on warriors of the Yun Family.
The relationship between the Yun Family and the Duan Family was not good. That being said, Lu Li was just an insignificant warrior. Duan Ni believed the patriarch of the Yun Family would do him a favor. Lu Li was not familiar with Yun Zhongtian but he had met him several times.
Duan Ni was a powerful warrior close to the consummate realm and a patriarch of the Duan Family. As soon as he handed over his token, a Saint King came out and politely invited him in.
Patriarch Yun Zhongtian summoned Duan Ni in the main hall. Even though they were both patriarchs and warriors close to the consummate realm, Yun Zhongtian's attitude was higher than Duan Ni's, which could be seen from the fact that Yun Zhongtian didn't greet Duan Ni in person.
The Yun Family was more powerful than the Duan Family because the Yun Family had two warriors at the consummate realm and many warriors close to the consummate realm.
Duan Ni hated Yun Zhongtian's arrogance but he didn't show it. After all, he was here to ask for help and he couldn't be too arrogant.
Duan Ni expressed his admiration for Yun Zhongtian. He said that he was just passing by and came to pay a visit. He even gave Yun Zhongtian a gift.
Yun Zhongtian didn't accept the gift. He just picked up the Interspatial Ring and glanced at it. Then, he put it on the table and pushed it over. "Brother Duan Ni, this gift is too valuable. I don't deserve it. I don't dare to accept it."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Duan Ni laughed and said, "As a matter of fact, I am here to ask for a small favor from you, Brother Zhongtian. If I can help you, I will be rewarded.
If this can be done, I will owe you a favor. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best. "
"Oh?"
Yun Zhongtian frowned. The gift was valuable but it was nothing. A favor from Duan Ni was worth much more. After all, the Duan Family was a big family. A powerful warrior like Duan Ni would keep his word.
Lu Li asked, "What is it?
If I can help, I will not refuse. "
"Capture a warrior for me!"
Duan Ni went straight to the point, "This warrior has entered the Cloud King City. He is a Great Emperor Realm warrior. I cannot do anything in the city so I can only count on you, Brother Zhongtian.
If you can capture him secretly and send him out of the city, I will be grateful. "
An insignificant warrior and a patriarch of the Yun Family were worlds apart. With Yun Zhongtian's help, he could capture Lu Li easily and then he could go back and explain to the Family Patriarch.
Yun Zhongtian remained expressionless. He lowered his eyebrows in silence. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I am sorry, Brother Duan Ni.
My Family Patriarch is very strict in this regard. The iron law cannot be broken. If I dare to act recklessly, I will be found out soon. By then, my position as a patriarch will be taken away.
You should know my Family Patriarch's character! "
Duan Ni pulled a long face. He had heard of the Yun Family Patriarch's character. He was cold-blooded and heartless, both to the outside and to the inside.
The system of the Yun Family was perfect. As long as one had the ability, he could stand out. As long as one had the talent, he could get resources. Over the years, the Yun Family had produced many geniuses. The Yun Family had been growing stronger, which had a lot to do with the Family Patriarch.
That being said, where there was light, there was also darkness. Duan Ni did not believe that the patriarchs of the Yun Family were so fair and impartial. He must have not offered enough.
Loyalty was because the price of betrayal was not high enough!
Duan Ni agreed with this statement. After a while, he took out another Interspatial Ring, handed it over and said, "Patriarch Zhongtian, this is an Amber Crystal I got by chance. There is an Ancient Wonder in it. I have never been able to see through it. Can you help me identify it?"
"Amber Crystal?
Ancient Wonder? "
Yun Zhongtian paused for a moment. Then, he picked up the Interspatial Ring and checked it with psychic power. After a while, he was moved. His eyes glowed. After a moment of silence, he said, "I cannot see through it either. Maybe … I need some time to study it."
