RULING SYSTEM
Light Pendant
Mei Lin only nodded when she heard the words from Yan Liyan.
"Okay, I get it."
"Yes.. Remember that! to always be careful, the task I give you is very important, but your safety is far more important than all that." Yan Liyan then took out something again in her storage ring.
The item issued by Yan Liyan was a pendant that gave off a golden light, the golden light felt very soothing.
"This is a pendant of light that is a rare artifact that functions to block dark energy and evil spirits from entering the body and mind of the wearer. This pendant also contains a bit of life energy coming from the tree of life so that it can heal wounds." Clearly Yan Liyan then thrust the pendant to Mei Lin.
"I gave this locket to you. Think of it as a gift from a lover you love so much." Yan Liyan smiled at Mei Lin when she said that.
Mei Lin who heard the words from Yan Liyan became extremely embarrassed, what else was Bing Hua beside her that made her really very embarrassed. He also felt extremely annoyed at Yan Liyan for teasing him in front of Bing Hua.
Mei Lin then received the pendant then put it on. After Mei Lin put it on, the light of the pendant slowly dimmed so that the existence of Mei Lin could not be known while doing her duty.
"I left first." said Mei Lin then disappeared from that place.
After Mei Lin's departure...
"Yeah!" Yan Liyan yawned with eyes that would be closed at any moment.
"I'm very sleepy and feel very tired, so I'll rest first. You better get some rest, Hua'er." Yan Liyan held onto Bing Hua's hand then the two of them entered the house.
"I can walk by myself Liyan'gege, so you don't have to pull me up like this."
"Ummm.. I know." Yan Liyan then released Bing Hua's hand then walked towards the top floor to rest.
Although Bing Hua only shook her head when she saw the behavior of Yan Liyan due to her current enhanced cultivation, it was impossible for Yan Liyan to feel any drowsiness.
Unless Yan Liyan felt lazy to do something.
"Huh... I'd better get some sleep, too." Bing Hua then walked towards her room which was right next to Jiu Wei and Mei Lin's room.
"........... "
On the roof of a very tall building...
Seen the figure of a beautiful woman who was standing looking at the spacious and beautiful urban.
The city is decorated by bright red lights that make it look more alive plus the crowds of people who are doing their respective activities.
The figure was none other than Mei Lin who was carrying out her duties.
Mei Lin then took out a scroll that was a map of the protective aray region from within her storage ring and after that opened it.
Seen in the map there are pictures of road routes in the protective area and pictures of large buildings and red writing on the building, which signifies the names of the families who are the owners of the building.
And if you look at a glance there is a large building that is even bigger than the buildings belonging to the nobles earlier.
The building is in the east direction of the protective aray region. The most unique of these buildings is the image of two statues of long-bearded grandfathers of enormous size standing in front of the building.
The statue was even bigger and taller than the building itself so that made Mei Lin frown her forehead.
"Hmm. It looks like this is going to be interesting.
According to this map, if the distance between the place that is the leader of this region and my current place is about 18,000 km." He muttered and put the scroll into his storage ring.
He suddenly appeared above the statue and observed the state of the building where the leader of the protective aray region lived.
It is seen that the place is guarded by a lot of soldiers who each soldier was in the middle level life and death shutter and there were some in the early void shutter.
They seemed to be on alert with every move, but unfortunately they did not realize that Mei Lin was right above them, more precisely on top of a large statue overlooking the city.
While Mei Lin was looking around, suddenly there was the sound of crying from a small child coming from the gate of the building.
"Be quiet! You're so noisy, boy!" Seen a soldier was escorting a horde of people who seemed very alarming.
Both their hands and feet were chained so they were not free to move.
It was seen the soldier whipping them to make them walk towards the building where the protective aray leader was.
The little boy cried from the pain of being whipped but the soldier did not care about it and kept forcing him to keep walking so that the little boy walked in a limp.
Mei Lin who was looking at the pitiful scene in front of her became extremely angry. However when recalling the task that Yan Liyan had given him, he again muffled his anger and chose not to rush into action.
Back to the bunch. Those people who had arrived at the courtyard of the building.
A soldier who was in charge of overseeing the door of the building then advanced.
"Is this all you can get?"
"Yes, the nobles can only give slaves just this much. Even so they are poor people who come from the outskirts of the protective aray region so they are given to us because they are considered useless" said the soldier who oversees the group of people.
"It looks like the leader will get angry seeing this very small number of people."
"How else do you want?"
"Hey! Hurry down those people to the basement! it would be a problem if anyone else saw all this." said another soldier whose cultivation level was at a higher level than the two of them.
"Well." The two of them then brought the horde of people down to the basement.
Mei Lin who saw it immediately put on a gourmand-dropping robe to make sure the existence was not noticed by anyone.
Mei Lin darted past the soldier guarding with little effort because at this moment she had to be extra careful as she did not yet know for sure the true strength of the enemy.
After passing through the guard soldiers. Mei Lin then followed her the soldier who was in charge of carrying those people earlier.
"Actually what will the leader do with these people? why on the eve of the blood moon. The leader always asks to be brought by people like this?" ask one of the soldiers in astonishment.
"Hey, don't you know the rumors that have been circulating all this time?" ask the soldier in a whisper to his friend.
"No. I've only been working for half a year here so I don't really know about the rumors you're about to say...
"Dadies.. All right, listen to me.. According to rumors, if our leader performs the ritual technique of eternal life. The technique is a cursed technique and how it works is to absorb the energy of human life and make the absorbent will be young. The more life energy that the user of the technique absorbed, the longer his life and the person would not experience aging either." it was obviously wrong of the warrior to his theme in a whispering voice.
While the soldier's friend shuddered when he heard his friend's explanation.
"It's terrible."
Mei Lin who had heard the conversation the two of them just smiled.
"So yes, very interesting information and also it seems like this beautiful city has a dark side in it especially on the leader of this protective aray region." His mutter then continued following them to obtain more information that could be passed on to Yan Liyan.
