Chapter 225: Tianyuan Forbidden Area
【Ding! Mission detected. Please head to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area and kill the Daqian Dynasty Emperor hiding in Tianyuan Cloud City. Upon completion, you will receive a random reward.】
At this moment, in the back mountain of the Lin Family.
A look of astonishment flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.
He had been fretting over not being able to find the Imperial Emperor!
He had not expected the system to reveal the Emperor's location in the form of a mission.
But Lin Feng realized even more that he had overlooked one place.
That was Tianyuan Cloud City!
A hundred years ago, the appearance of that mysterious space brought countless disasters.
And hidden within that mysterious space was the Blood Demon Palace; at the same time, the city the Lin Family had captured back then was located in that mysterious space, named Tianyuan Cloud City.
Now, according to the mission disclosure, that mysterious space should be the Tianyuan Forbidden Area.
Because of the incident a hundred years ago, Tianyuan Cloud City was seized by the Imperial Family, and the Imperial Family naturally moved to Tianyuan Cloud City; the entire Daqian Dynasty was practically an empty shell.
Only the Crown Prince, Li Yingqian, remained to hold the fort.
That was why there was no trace of the Emperor in the Imperial Palace.
Now, everything could be explained.
Lin Feng did not hesitate and immediately summoned the Lin Family's Supreme Elder, Lin Kuohai.
Before long, Lin Kuohai arrived at the back mountain and entered the secret chamber where Lin Feng was.
"Clan Leader, what bad luck!"
"That Imperial Palace treasury isn't even as good as our Lin Family's treasury!"
"Inside, there are only thirty million spirit stones and some miscellaneous trash treasures; it's truly bad luck!" Lin Kuohai complained indignantly.
The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up; it seemed his guess was correct.
"It is only logical that the Imperial Palace treasury is empty," Lin Feng said with a faint smile. "If there were truly precious treasures, why would the Emperor easily leave the palace and leave them for others to covet?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Kuohai's brows furrowed tightly: "Then we've suffered a loss..."
The Emperor isn't dead, and the Lin Family has rebelled; isn't this clearly asking for death?
When the Emperor returns in the future, won't the Lin Family fall into an irredeemable situation again?
This matter concerned the survival of the Lin Family, and Lin Kuohai immediately became worried again.
Lin Feng slowly stood up, his gaze appearing somewhat solemn: "If the Emperor does not die, my heart will not be at ease."
"Supreme Elder, do you know about the Tianyuan Forbidden Area?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Kuohai was startled.
He looked at Lin Feng in shock, then pondered for a moment and said: "Clan Leader, could it be... that the Emperor is in the Tianyuan Forbidden Area?"
"How is this possible? That place is extremely dangerous!"
"Back then, even we could only barely gain a foothold by relying on Tianyuan Cloud City; how could they..."
Having said this, Lin Kuohai's expression stiffened, and he gave a bitter smile, clearly having understood something.
Seeing this reaction, Lin Feng immediately said: "It seems the Supreme Elder knows something; why not tell me about it."
Lin Kuohai looked at Lin Feng solemnly; he was unwilling to recall the events of the past.
But now that the Emperor was highly likely hiding in Tianyuan Cloud City, he had no choice but to speak.
"Clan Leader, the Tianyuan Forbidden Area was a mysterious place first discovered by our Lin Family Clan Leader, Lin Wentian, back then."
"It is a forbidden land, incomparably dangerous and infested with demon beasts. Every Great Demon possesses the strength of the Nirvana Realm; even if a Nirvana Realm expert enters it, it is a life of nine deaths and one survival."
Having said this, Lin Kuohai swallowed nervously.
Back in the day, he had also entered the Tianyuan Forbidden Area.
"Later, the Imperial Family also discovered this forbidden area and summoned the seven great families to explore it. Our Lin Family took the lead and seized the only city within it; that city is named Tianyuan Cloud City."
"Inside the forbidden area, there are too many demon beasts, and exploring outside carries the threat of death, but Tianyuan Cloud City is the only safe point."
"This meant that to enter the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, one had to rest in the Cloud City. Therefore, our Lin Family made a fortune, which also aroused the jealousy of the Imperial Family."
"The Imperial Family set their sights on the only safe haven in the forbidden area, which led to the tragedy a hundred years ago..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat shocked.
Although he knew of the connection between the Lin Family and Tianyuan Cloud City, he had not expected the details to be so shocking.
No wonder the Imperial Family would frame the Lin Family.
At this moment, Lin Feng took a deep breath and asked: "So, after the tragedy a hundred years ago, Tianyuan Cloud City fell into the hands of the Imperial Family, and then that forbidden area became the Imperial Family's backyard?"
"Correct," Lin Kuohai nodded.
That was how it was; their Lin Family suffered a great loss and also lost Tianyuan Cloud City.
Back then, the Lin Family was at its peak, relying on Tianyuan Cloud City. Therefore, after the Lin Family drove away the direct lineage, they were also very angry at Lin Feng's branch, labeling them as sinners.
That was the reason.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.
So that was how it was; if he wanted to avenge this century-old grudge, he would have to go to Tianyuan Cloud City.
"Supreme Elder, I am going to enter the Tianyuan Forbidden Area."
"Clan Leader, absolutely not!"
Lin Kuohai's voice was urgent, his face full of terror.
"Back when we entered the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, there was a map. That map recorded many dangerous areas; only by relying on it could one reduce the risks of entering the forbidden area, and only that map contained the location information of Tianyuan Cloud City."
"Now, this map has been confiscated by the Imperial Family. Although I know the entrance to the forbidden area, entering rashly means certain death!"
These words did not dispel Lin Feng's idea.
All the foundations of the Imperial Family were in Tianyuan Cloud City, and it was highly likely that the Lin Family members from Ziyun City were also inside.
How could Lin Feng not go to save them?
Moreover, the mission had already been issued; Lin Feng had no choice but to go.
"Even without a map, I must go."
Lin Feng's expression was firm: "No matter how difficult it is, I must go. This time, you don't need to follow."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kuohai became even more worried.
Entering the Tianyuan Forbidden Area without a map was practically suicide.
Not to mention that Lin Feng still wanted to kill the Emperor and wash away the Lin Family's shame!
This was an impossible mission.
Lin Kuohai's heart was in turmoil, and he cupped his hands and said: "Clan Leader! Since the Emperor is in Tianyuan Cloud City, we only need to block the entrance and exit!"
"Why risk entering it? At worst, we seal the entrance and exit so they can never come out."
"This Daqian Dynasty will still be the world of our Lin Family!"
A warm current surged in Lin Feng's heart.
The Lin Family truly recognized Lin Feng's branch now, which was why they were so worried.
But this battle, Lin Feng had to fight.
"Enough, no need to say more. You only need to tell me the location of the entrance and exit," Lin Feng said firmly.
Having finally learned the news about the Emperor, this time, he must slaughter that True Dragon!
No matter how strong he was, Lin Feng had to try.
"This..." Lin Kuohai gave a bitter smile; he had no way to defy Lin Feng's will.
Now, the only thing he could hope for was a miracle.
"Clan Leader, since you are going to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, please wait another month!"
"After all, you have just experienced a battle."
Lin Kuohai knelt on one knee and pleaded one last time.
"Very well, then we depart in a month. Whether our Lin Family can wash away our shame depends on this one time." ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
