Meeting

"This... this is truly a top-grade treasure." Ling Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead, his lips trembling slightly as he exclaimed in admiration, "And I never expected that you, Night Brother, Night Brother be such a master of gravity manipulation! No wonder you were able to easily defeat that Polluter controlled Ants Attack City; it turns out your abilities originated from the same source... no, now it seems that your abilities are clearly far superior to that monster's!"

As he spoke, he gave Luo Jun a thumbs-up.

Luo Jun, who was still immersed in his analysis, was slightly taken aback by what he said. He turned his head to look at Ling Kai and saw that he was sweating and staring at the Myriad Jun Hammer. He immediately understood.

It seems that what's truly astonishing isn't the performance of the Myriad Jun Hammer Myriad Jun Hammer, but the fact that someone can actually wield it.

However, Luo Jun was too lazy to explain and simply put away the hammer, "Thank you for the information."

Seeing his tacit agreement, Ling Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "We are only speculating based on the available information. No one can guarantee what the final rules of this mission will be."

"I understand." Luo Jun nodded. "This is enough..."

After saying that, he turned and left the house.

"Night Brother, where are you going?" Ling Kai asked.

Luo Jun pointed towards the center of Lingyun City: "I've achieved my purpose here; it's time to return to the Main World."

"Oh... right!" Ling Kai nodded. "Today is the last day of the Gate Opening Day, and the Conscription Mission starts tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'll continue to take care of the house here for you!"

Luo Jun glanced back at him, his words making it sound as if I were never coming back...

After passing through the Wildlands Gate once again, Luo Jun returned to the Main World.

After changing his clothes, Luo Jun left the tower-like dressing room and stepped into the guild's front hall, where he suddenly frowned.

Something's not right. It's daytime now, and today is the last day of the guild's Gate Opening Day. Normally, there should be many Wildlands Hunter coming and going, and the guild lobby should be quite lively.

But now, it's very quiet here. The spacious hall is completely silent, and you can't even see a hunter... There's only one person sitting in the rest area, drinking tea with his back to himself.

Wait! That person...

Once Luo Jun noticed that figure from behind, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The figure seemed somewhat familiar; Luo Jun felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, but that wasn't the point... The important thing was that the person was just sitting there, yet he exuded an astonishing aura. It was one thing if he hadn't noticed him, but upon seeing his figure, Luo Jun felt as if the entire hall... no, the entire world, was shifting towards that man!

"Finally, I've been waiting for you..." The figure put down his teacup and chuckled, "Mister Ye, I've heard your story countless times. Today, I finally get to meet you. I must say, seeing is believing. Your story is legendary, and you are an even more remarkable person!"

Luo Jun frowned slightly, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect from a distance, and took the opportunity to place his fingers on the Hundred Treasure Box.

"Island Lord Ling flatters me."

Indeed, the person standing before him who could exert such a strong sense of pressure even on Luo Jun was none other than Ling Ao, the current head of the Ling Family family and the lord of Lingyun Island, who was also the current head of the Ling Ao Wildlands Hunter Guild!

"You don't need to be afraid." Ling Ao stood up, turned to face Luo Jun, and smiled, "Although you act mysteriously, your actions within my Ling Family's territory, in the [Savage Wilderness], are all in accordance with the rules, and one could even say you've done my Ling Family a favor." "I've come to see you today for no other reason than that. As a Peak, your skills are unparalleled, but as far as I know, you are not currently affiliated with any power in the world, are you?"

Luo Jun looked at Ling Ao and replied calmly, "If I had to say, I'd call myself a Wildlands Hunter now."

"Hahahaha..." Ling Ao laughed loudly, "You and I both know perfectly well that the Wildlands Hunter Guild is just a platform for Cultivators to participate in activities. Anyone can register, even if you are Champion-level Wildlands Hunter. As for my Ling Family, we can only have a cooperative relationship."

Luo Jun frowned slightly. "So, what does Island Lord Ling mean?"

Ling Ao smiled and said, "After the appearance of the Gate to Another World, many people once believed that the pattern of the world would undergo great changes. Human beings would have unprecedented power. This power would threaten civilization, systems and countries that have lasted for thousands of years..."

"But look now, the Otherworld Gate has been open for over a hundred years, and there are nearly a million people cultivating vital energy in the world. They have even formed various organizations to unite and take action... Yet, have the countries been overthrown? Has history been rewritten?"

"In the eyes of ordinary people who have never been exposed to Yuan Qi, the world has never changed. The once powerful nations still stand at the top of the world, and those brilliant civilizations are still developing and spreading."

"Do you know what this means?"

Faced with Ling Ao's question, Luo Jun narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying that what truly constrains humanity is not power?"

Ling Ao chuckled, "No matter when, wherever there are people, there is a martial world, and the martial world is never just about fighting and killing..."

"So what if you've cultivated your vital energy? There's foundation building, then cultivation, then Mind Condensation, then the Peak Mind Condensation... There will always be someone stronger who can restrain you."

Even if one day you reach the pinnacle and ascend to Feather Transformation, you will be far from the only one in this world to Feather Transformation!

"No matter how powerful an individual is, there will always be something in this world that can restrain you." Ling Ao looked at Luo Jun. "And a powerful being who is not restrained will undoubtedly attract the fear and attention of various forces. Either you will become subordinate to someone and accept their restraints... or you will be eliminated!"

Luo Jun frowned. "At least for now, I'm still alive and well."

"That's because you rose to prominence too quickly; many forces in the world haven't had time to react," Ling Ao laughed. "But currently, you've already demonstrated a world-class level, enough to arouse the apprehension of many forces."

"I'm just the first. No matter how well you hide, you'll always encounter a second, a third, and one force after another will come knocking on your door, disrupting your life. The way to get rid of them is to find one of them and join them."

"Then what makes Island Lord Ling think I should join your Ling Family?" Ling Ao's intention to recruit him couldn't be clearer.

"For a talent like Mister Ye, my Ling Family will naturally offer our utmost sincerity," Ling Ao said with a smile. "However, I believe we have another advantage that no other family can match."

"What advantages?" Luo Jun asked, somewhat curious.

"If Mister Ye is willing to the Ling Family, I can make the decision," Ling Ao said with a smile, "And arrange your marriage with Ling Xin!"
