Yi Tianyun arrived at the Imperial City safely without any hindrance, he immediately arrived at the palace and met with Ren Zhirou.
"Big Brother! You are alive!" Ren Zhirou said happily while jumping into Ren Long's arm.
"Of course, I am alive! I will not abandon my beautiful little sister in this world!" Ren Long said, reassuring Ren Zhirou.
"Big Brother Yi, thank you very much for helping my brother!" Ren Zhirou said to Yi Tianyun while grinning cheerfully.
"Anytime!" Yi Tianyun said assuringly.
'DING'
'Successfully completed a hidden quest [Help the Empire's Goddess!]'
'Reward" 50.000.000 Exp, 1.000.000 CPs, 200 Ren Zhirou's favourability, the title [Empire's Protector God].'
'DING'
'Successfully accepted the next stage of the Quest [Help the Empire's Goddess!], [Assist the Goddess to repel the Netherworld Empire!]'
'Reward on completion: 50.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 50 Heavenly Dragon's Favourability Points.'
'Note: the reward will be doubled if the host successfully killed Prime Minister Long!'
'DING'
'Congratulation to the host for successfully breakthrough to 9th Level Core Transformation!'
Yi Tianyun was excited that he could finally level up!
Now he only had one more level to go, and then he could enter the infamous Void Spirit Stage!
Moreover, he was excited to see the next quest's reward will be doubled if he killed the infamous Prime Minister!
"We have to kill the Prime Minister!" Yi Tianyun said to himself.
Ren Zhirou, who heard all of Yi Tianyun's words, curiously asked, "Brother! Did you mean what you said?"
"Of course! but I don't think we have to go to him, he will come to us himself!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.
"Impossible! I don't think he would risk his own safety by coming here to the Imperial City!" Ren Zhirou said surprisedly.
"It's possible! I'm positive that he sided with the Netherworld Empire, and if the Netherworld Empire also attacked the Imperial City at the same time, he will easily slip past our radar!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.
"Netherworld Empire? Are you serious?" Ren Long said surprisedly.
"Yes, the man who came and tried to kidnap Ren Zhirou when I first arrived here was from the Netherworld Empire, I am sure of that!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.
"If that is really the case, then we have trouble coming! The Imperial Preceptor of the Netherworld Empire was a tricky enemy!" Ren Long said worriedly.
"But, I am sure that they couldn't force their way inside as long as we have the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure!" Ren Long added, reassuring Ren Zhirou.
They all become silent as they began to think of a plan on their own.
"Is there any expert with higher cultivation in Heavenly Dragon Empire? Perhaps an old ancestor or two?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.
"I am afraid they were gone; no one really knows where they go! They left on a quest to find the old ancestor!" Ren Zhirou said sadly.
Yi Tianyun nodded in understanding, he knew that once the faction was stable, the old ancestor didn't have any reason to stay in the faction anymore, and therefore if they chose to leave, that was fine!
"Then, we only have ourselves to rely on!" Yi Tianyun said with a light smile.
"Of course! The future of the empire lies in our hands!" Ren Long said determinedly.
"But, Brother Yi, you don't have any obligation to help us! If you choose to leave, we will not hold it against you!" Ren Zhirou said worriedly.
"No, I will stay! After all, I am excited to bring an end to the Netherworld Empire myself!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.
"You are really kind, brother! you are like our Empire's Protection God!" Ren Long said with a smile on his face.
"It is my pleasure to help!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile too.
"Now, all that's left is for Big Brother Yi to join our family officially!" Ren Zhirou said excitedly.
"Don't worry, the process is simple!" Ren Zhirou added reassuringly.
Ren Long immediately took out a jug of wine and poured it out into two cups and handed one cup to Yi Tianyun.
"Now, all we need to do is drink! I don't have much to say, but I really like the idea of officially welcoming you to our family!" Ren Long said as he toasted with Yi Tianyun.
"Cheers to that!" Yi Tianyun said as he also drank the wine.
