Under Qin Yichen’s insistent persistence, even Ju Lingran could no longer force the matter, and could only dispatch someone to make the arrangements.
This time, Qin Yichen held nothing back, directly absorbing all of that special energy within the latter’s body, allowing the latter’s concerns to dissipate into nothingness.
Within the tavern.
“What? You’ve already sorted it out?”
When he heard Qin Yichen say they would depart for the Imperial Dynasties Assembly tomorrow, Liu Yun’s heart surged with monstrous waves of shock.
Originally, he had thought Long Qingyao was deliberately exaggerating, but judging by the current situation, if this youth hadn’t truly obtained the Honorary Guest Officer position, how could he possibly have the qualification to use Gathering Space Tower’s Transport Array in such a short time? Moreover, to have it arranged for immediate use!
Amidst his astonishment, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Liu Yun’s heart.
“Then what about me?” Liu Yun’s voice was somewhat dry as he asked.
Were they going to bring him to Rainbow Light Pavilion’s mortal enemy’s territory, then just abandoning him here!? Once Qin Yichen left, what was he supposed to do?!
“You’ll just stay here. I’ll help you pay for a year’s accommodation, which should be enough time for you to contact your own people.” Qin Yichen glanced at him, saying indifferently.
“No way!” However, Liu Yun immediately rejected this outright.
What kind of joke was that? Every time Qin Yichen and Long Qingyao went out, he was on tenterhooks. If he got discovered, that would be the end of everything!
Even if he fought with all his strength, in Gathering Space Tower’s Open Mysteries City, relying solely on his own power, he would be utterly unable to escape even with wings.
“Either you come with us. With your status as the Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion, securing a mere spot at the Imperial Dynasties Assembly should be possible, shouldn’t it?”
Hearing Qin Yichen’s words, Liu Yun immediately sat down powerlessly.
Participate in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly?
Although he was extremely proud of his own talent, over these many years, aside from living carefree and comfortable, he had never seriously cultivated!
Though after the previous incident, he already felt some regret about not cultivating properly. Still, how could the Imperial Dynasties Assembly be entered so casually? Based on his experience, going there was just seeking death.
One choice was to remain in Open Mysteries City on tenterhooks; the other choice was the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, where nine out of ten would die.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun’s expression darkened.
One day later, after undergoing simple disguise, Liu Yun still chose to follow behind Qin Yichen.
“Qin Yichen, let me tell you, I’m only doing this to leave this place. I definitely won’t go with you to the Imperial Dynasties Assembly. You’d better find me an opportunity to leave… Did you hear me? What is my status? How could I possibly go to that kind of place with you people!”
Along the way, Liu Yun’s voice continuously assailed Qin Yichen, acting as though he’d been forced into this state by the latter.
Sensing the incessant voice beside his ear, Qin Yichen suddenly felt somewhat regretful about disguising him. He should have done it like before, stuffing a pine nut in his mouth would have saved so much trouble.
“I don’t need you to follow me.” Qin Yichen glanced at Liu Yun, saying with displeasure.
Hearing this, Liu Yun was slightly stunned. It seemed the latter indeed had not forced him…
“*Hmph!* Qin Yichen, I advise you not to go there either. You don’t understand how terrifying the Imperial Dynasties Assembly is. Every Imperial Dynasties Assembly is held on an ancient battlefield. In that place, even ordinary Martial Emperors can only conduct themselves with utmost discretion. Only Mid Stage Martial Emperors have some qualification to occupy the resources of that vast land. Someone like you, even if you enter, you’ll only be crushed to pieces…”
After a moment’s consideration, Liu Yun stopped talking about the previous topic and instead changed it, speaking about how terrifying the Imperial Dynasties Assembly was.
Under this verbal bombardment, Qin Yichen took a deep breath, his tone somewhat gloomy as he said. “If you say one more word, I’ll hand you over to the Gathering Space Tower. I, Qin Yichen, always keep my word!”
Hearing these words filled with threat, Liu Yun’s chest tightened. However, just as he prepared to speak, upon seeing that the latter was not joking in the slightest, his words came to an abrupt halt.
In the centre of Open Mysteries City, beside the Gathering Space Crystal House, stood a great hall. Within that hall was the Transport Array leading to the Imperial Dynasties Assembly.
At this moment, in this great hall, led by Ju Lingran, numerous high-ranking members of the Gathering Space Tower’s branch were waiting quietly.
Before Ju Lingran stood a massive stone Array. Upon those stone pillars were inscribed mystical patterns, with waves of astonishing energy continuously emanating from within.
As they waited, three figures appeared at the hall’s entrance. The person at the front was unmistakably Ju Lingran’s lifesaver and also Gathering Space Tower’s Honorary Guest Officer, Qin Yichen!
“Master Qin!”
Seeing Qin Yichen enter, the numerous members all bowed respectfully. Although the ceremony had not yet been held, Qin Yichen’s status had already been established.
Behind Qin Yichen, Liu Yun, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but tremble slightly in his body, then hastily lowered his head slightly, afraid of being recognised.
He could sense that among those figures, there were several Mid Stage Martial Emperors, and even one at Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm!
“Branch Master Ju, it seems you’ve almost completely recovered.”
After entering the hall, Qin Yichen’s gaze swept over the large Array once, then he said with a smile to Ju Lingran.
“All thanks to Master Qin’s assistance.” Ju Lingran also smiled faintly.
“In Open Mysteries City, I happened to encounter a friend who also needed to hurry to participate in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly. I wonder if adding one more person would pose any problems.”
Qin Yichen pointed at Liu Yun behind him with a smile.
Hearing this, Ju Lingran’s gaze swept over. Upon seeing Liu Yun’s somewhat grimy face, his brow furrowed. How could this kind of person be their Gathering Space Tower Honorary Guest Officer’s friend?
“Haha, as long as it’s less than five people, it’s the same as two people. Master Qin can rest assured.” However, regarding Qin Yichen’s request, Ju Lingran could not very well question it. After all, the latter had saved his life and prevented a catastrophe for Open Mysteries City.
“Then let’s begin.” Qin Yichen smiled faintly, directly opening his mouth.
Having been verbally bombarded by Liu Yun along the way, he did not want to hear Ju Lingran’s attempts to make him stay.
In the end, Ju Lingran said nothing more and directly waved his sleeve. Five Spirit Seeds whistled forth, rushing into five positions within the array.
As the Spirit Seeds surged in, a beam of light gradually spread from the Array’s centre.
“Master Qin, take care on your journey…” Ju Lingran said somewhat gravely. Although the latter possessed some abilities that astonished him, the Imperial Dynasties Assembly was not a place where one could survive with mere small tricks!
Gazing at the light beam before him, Qin Yichen also slowly drew a deep breath.
For this Imperial Dynasties Assembly, he had already prepared for a long time. He himself was also very much anticipating just how far he could go on that battlefield. Would he transform into a Dragon and soar to Heaven, or would he become a spirit, dying in a foreign land?
Within Qin Yichen’s eyes, a colour of determination gradually surfaced. Beneath his feet, he took a step forward!
