591 Meeting (2)
Azure Dragon City was in need of manpower now. An extremely talented person like Lin Bei could make up for the loss of two elders.
Moreover, in this case, they could satisfy Lin Bei's request. It was a killing two birds with one stone.
Qing Mu and Lu Yun nodded, indicating that Cheng Chen's idea was indeed not bad.
"I don't think it matters. Lin Bei is our Azure Dragon City's benefactor. If he wants to learn the inheritance, let him. Moreover, the few of us have come into contact with the Azure Dragon inheritance. How many of us have accepted this inheritance?"
Zi Yi felt that not everyone could accept the Azure Dragon Inheritance. Why didn't they agree readily? Why did they have to force him to join Azure Dragon City? Moreover, he had fulfilled Lin Bei's wish and returned the favor. Wasn't that good?
He really did not understand why these old fellows were hesitating.
"If not for Lin Bei helping us find the Inheritance Stone Tablet, this lifeline would have fallen into the hands of the Light Domain long ago."
Zi Yi snorted coldly. He was very disdainful of the opinions of these timid elders.
Facing the Elders' different opinions, Lan He fell into deep thought.
The Azure Dragon Inheritance was indeed the lifeline of Azure Dragon City. If one wanted to come into contact with this inheritance, one had to be an elder of Azure Dragon Country. Therefore, logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for an outsider to come into contact with the inheritance.
However, Lin Bei was not ordinary. He had the power of ancient martial arts, which was even stronger than the power of the Azure Dragon. Half of the power of the Azure Dragon should be just icing on the cake for him.
Also, the man in the image that Lin Bei had shown them just now. He could feel the terrifying power of this blurry figure through the image. Even he could not compare to that blurry figure at all.
Most importantly, this powerful figure looked very familiar with Lin Bei. He might be Lin Bei's backer.
If they rejected him, they might even get into trouble.
Moreover, the only thing Azure Dragon City could do to thank Lin Bei for his great kindness to the Azure Dragon lineage was probably the Azure Dragon Inheritance.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Lin Bei's request to learn the Azure Dragon Inheritance on the Inheritance Stone Tablet was nothing.
"Alright, this matter ends here! There's no need to argue anymore. I agree to let Lin Bei learn the Azure Dragon Inheritance." Lan He's tone was firm, not allowing any objections.
After receiving an answer, Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief.
He did not want to have another conflict.
He came here to obtain the other half of the Azure Dragon's power. After all, the power of the Heavenly Lightning on his body had transformed from the power of the Azure Dragon. If he could obtain the complete power, he should be able to advance the power of the Heavenly Lightning.
If he couldn't, then forget it.
Therefore, other than that, he did not have many other thoughts.
In Lin Bei's eyes, Azure Dragon City was just a mess. The elders of the upper echelons looked disunited. He had no intention of joining this place.
He hated being tied down.
"When do we start?"
"Brother Lin Bei, I understand how you feel, but the most important thing now is Bai Jun… How about I help you undo the seal on this stone tablet tomorrow?"
Lan He looked at Bai Jun in the Disillusionment Mirror with a worried tone.
Lin Bei saw Lan He's expression and didn't say anything. He nodded to show that he understood.
In the end, Lin Bei and the others were arranged to stay in the highest-class hotel in Azure Dragon City. Lan He called for a butler and left the Elder Hall with Lin Bei and the others.
After leaving the Elder Hall, Lin Bei and the others expressed their curiosity about the inner city. They asked the butler for the hotel check-in certificate and let him leave. They wanted to walk around the inner city themselves.
"It's finally settled." Lin Bei felt relieved.
"That's right. I didn't expect the upper echelons of Azure Dragon City to have such different thoughts. No wonder there are disloyal people appearing." Mengli was very emotional about everything that happened in the Elder Hall today.
"Fortunately, Lan He is a sensible person. Things are still going very smoothly. For the rest of today, we will take a good look around the legendary inner city of Azure Dragon City. The inheritance will be opened tomorrow!" Ji Xuanyuan said.
"That's right!"
The few of them strolled around the inner city casually.
The people here were not as down-to-earth as the slums, nor were they as otherworldly as the wealthy districts.
The feeling here was more like a combination of the Harmonious Development Group and the Ocean Blue Planet's culture. There were antique buildings and small shops, as well as skyscrapers that were hundreds of meters tall.
Moreover, most of the cultivators here were at the Saint Realm. The lower ones were only at the eighth or ninth-stage Divine Realm.
Most of the items sold in the shop were related to cultivation. Just the Breathing Technique alone, Lin Bei saw a lot of them.
This made Lin Bei and the other two sigh.
"Looks like the Ocean Blue Planet and the entire Milky Way have a long way to go." Ji Xuanyuan couldn't help but think of the future of the Milky Way when he saw the inner city of Azure Dragon City.
…
On the other side.
After Lin Bei and the other two left, Lan He instructed the soldiers to press Hong Yan into the dungeon.
Only the elders of Azure Dragon City were left in the Elder Hall.
Lan He waved his hand at the Disillusionment Mirror, and the mirror's seal was undone. Bai Jun was brought back to the Elder Hall from the mirror.
The elders looked at the unconscious Holy Maiden Bai Jun in the air with solemn expressions.
"That damned Hong Yan! He actually harmed Jun'er to this extent." Cheng Chen's heart ached when he saw the pale Bai Jun.
"Lan He, do you have any solutions?" Qing Mu was also very worried. After all, the person lying here was the Holy Maiden of the Azure Dragon Country. If anything happened to the Holy Maiden, the Azure Dragon Country would probably be severely injured again.
Lan He didn't say anything. He just closed his eyes and looked like he was focused on something.
"There's a power of fear in Jun'er's body."
After a while, Lan He slowly opened his eyes and said a few words.
Just now, he had tried to connect with the power in Bai Jun's body through the power of the Azure Dragon, but he discovered that the power of the Azure Dragon in Bai Jun's body was constantly circulating, as if it was fighting with some power.
"Jun'er's internal injuries and superficial wounds have already healed. The reason why she's still unconscious is because the power of the Azure Dragon in her body is constantly colliding with the power of fear, causing Jun'er to lose consciousness."
"I see. Is there any way to wake Jun'er up?"
"Sigh… There are two ways to wake Jun'er up. One is to completely eliminate the power of fear hidden in her body, and the other is to eliminate the power of the Azure Dragon in her body."
"Clear the power of the Azure Dragon? How can that do?"
"That's right! If we remove the power of the Azure Dragon in her body, won't Jun'er be devoured by the power of fear and turn into a Fear Incarnation?"
"The second method won't work. It won't work."
Upon hearing Lan He's two methods, the elders instantly exploded. They expressed that they could not remove the power of the Azure Dragon in Bai Jun's body. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if Bai Jun turned into the Fear Incarnation. It was better to sleep like this.
"I understand what everyone is saying, but to eliminate the power of fear in Jun'er's body, we can only use the power of the Disillusionment Mirror at the moment. The power of the Disillusionment Mirror is domineering. If we forcefully use it, I'm afraid it will hurt Jun'er's foundation."
"Then it's better than letting her sleep forever."
"However, after hurting her cultivation foundation, it will probably be difficult for Jun'er to call herself the Holy Maiden."
"That's right. Jun'er is the future of the entire Azure Dragon lineage. If anything happens to her, our Azure Dragon lineage's future will be worrying…"
The elders started arguing, their faces flushed red.
In the end, they did not come up with a foolproof method and parted on bad terms.
…
In the dungeon.
Hong Yan was imprisoned in a dark and damp place.
At this moment, his head was drooping, and his long red hair was soaked in water and stuck to his face. After being imprisoned, his consciousness had recovered a little.
At this moment, a person appeared in his blurry vision. This person was the City Defense Minister—Shi Yao!
Shi Yao smoked a cigarette, and the clouds lingered.
However, the smoke was no longer white, but black.
He stared at Hong Yan from across the prison for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face.
His eyes were gradually devoured by the black.
Just now, he had also been corroded by the power of fear.
…
