Hearing this, Lu Yun raised a gentle smile and reached out to pat Scar Four's shoulder. That action contained silent affirmation and encouragement.

"Then it's settled. We'll set off tomorrow morning. Before that, tell me about the three major forces. I need to know what's going on."

When Scar Four heard this, he immediately became excited and began to talk incessantly about the stories about Tianlei Sect, Bishui Pavilion and Youyue Valley.

"The Tianlei Sect is famous for its thunder power. The disciples there all have unique skills and their moves are as fast as lightning."

"The Bishui Pavilion is good at water magic. Their disciples are as gentle as water, but they can overcome hardness with softness."

"As for Youyue Valley, it is a place where masters who are good at hiding and assassination gather. I heard that all the disciples in the valley are like ghosts under the moon, appearing and disappearing at will."

As Scar Four described it vividly, pictures gradually took shape in Lu Yun's mind, as if he had experienced it personally. He silently memorized the information and had a plan in mind.

"Scar Four, if I want to go to Tongxianzhou, which road should I take?"

There was a subtle expectation in Lu Yun's words. He knew very well that Tongxianzhou was crucial for him to find a way to rescue his sister.

When Scar Four heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his rough hand and pointed to the path ahead that was dyed golden by the setting sun.

"Senior, just keep walking along this road. You don't need to make any detours. It will take about half a day to reach Mingcheng."

"Once you get there, you can find a vendor and buy the latest map, or go directly to the city's teleportation array. Whether you walk or use the array, you will always be able to find Tongxianzhou."

Hearing this, Lu Yun frowned slightly, with a hint of concern in his eyes, "What about you? Aren't you going with me?"

Scar Four smiled bitterly, shook his head, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I have been trapped in the Black Wind Village for several years. My mother must be worried about me day and night. I have to go back and tell her I am safe. I owe her too much over the years."

He lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously stroking the corner of his clothes, as if recalling that unforgettable time.

Lu Yun nodded in understanding. He knew that for some people, the call of home was far more important than any adventure or adventure. Wasn’t it the same for him?

Lu Yun understood Scar Four's feelings and tried not to try to keep him.

"Then be careful on your way, we'll meet again if we're lucky."

Upon hearing this, Scar Four's gratitude was beyond words. He clasped his fists together, his voice slightly choked.

"Thank you for your care along the way. I will always remember your kindness. If there is a chance, I will repay you with gratitude!"

The two looked at each other, no words needed.

Lu Yun turned around and set out on the road to Mingcheng.

Scar Four stood where he was, watching Lu Yun's figure gradually go away until he turned into a small black dot and disappeared on the horizon.

Just as Lu Yun was about to walk out of sight, Scar Four suddenly shouted loudly.

"Senior, take care! Don't forget, the world is so big, opportunities are everywhere, you will definitely find that piece of fairyland and rescue your family!"

His voice echoed in the wilderness, carrying a deep blessing.

Lu Yun stopped and didn't look back. He just waved his hand gently as a response.

As night fell, Lu Yun quickened his pace, and the scenery along the way passed quickly through his eyes.

About half a day later, Lu Yun arrived in Mingcheng as expected.

Lu Yun stood in front of the huge city gate of Mingcheng, and the scene before him shocked him.

The city gate is built of huge stones, dozens of feet high, and is carved with lifelike patterns of mythical beasts, as if guarding this ancient city.

On the city walls, flags fluttered, buildings in the city were lined up one after another, and the glazed tiles on the roofs sparkled in the sun, revealing an indescribable majesty and magnificence.

This is a lively and prosperous city, bustling with people. The hawkers' cries and the conversations of pedestrians are intertwined to form a unique city symphony.

Just as Lu Yun was about to step into the city to experience this lively scene, two soldiers in iron armor stood in front of him with guns at their sides, their faces showing cold and vigilant expressions.

"Stop! You need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city. Do you have any spirit stones?"

The soldier on the left asked expressionlessly, his eyes sweeping over Lu Yun's stained clothes, obviously not believing that he could afford the fee.

Lu Yun looked a little disheveled, his clothes were covered in dust from the journey, and some of them were even torn, revealing his mottled skin.

He frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He did not get angry at the other party's contempt, but simply asked back calmly: "How much is the entrance fee?"

At this time, a soldier squad leader holding a spear and wearing a red cloak came over. He looked Lu Yun up and down, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, where did you come from, beggar? You are so ragged, I'm afraid you can't even support yourself, let alone the entrance fee. Go away, don't get in our way."

The pedestrians around looked at him sideways, some with sympathy, while others watched indifferently, as if this kind of scene was not uncommon at the gate of Mingcheng.

Lu Yun was not angered. His eyes were calm, as if he was already used to such treatment. He just repeated the question again.

"What is the exact amount of the entrance fee? It's not like I don't have spirit stones."

There was a calmness in his tone that could not be ignored, which made the originally arrogant team leader stunned for a moment.

The team leader clenched the spear in his hand, laughed in anger, with a hint of sarcasm on the corners of his mouth.

"Oh, you are such an ungrateful person! If I tell you to leave, just leave now. Don't pretend like you can afford to pay me."

"I've seen a lot of people like you. They all pretend to be noble and rich, but in fact they are nothing."

"Change your clothes and come back!"

He deliberately puffed out his chest, with a condescending attitude and a look of disdain in his eyes.

Lu Yun's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his eyes were cold, and his tone revealed an unquestionable toughness.

"What if I insist on going in?"

As he spoke, Lu Yun leaned forward slightly, with his hands lightly pressing on the hilt of the sword at his waist. His posture revealed a fighting spirit that could erupt at any time.

When the team leader saw this, he was stunned at first, and then he sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Hey, this is really the first time I've seen someone rushing to cause trouble. Okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance. Hand over a hundred source stones, and I'll pretend I've never seen you and let you in."

He deliberately dragged out his tone, and his words were full of provocation, as if he was certain that Lu Yun could not come up with such a large sum of money.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yun's eyes. He slowly pulled out half of the sword. The sword flashed and was chilling.

He did not answer directly, but spoke in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

"I don't like being threatened. However, I don't want to take action today, so as not to dirty my sword. But you'd better understand that I have my own way to enter this city."

He sheathed the sword with a clean and neat movement. His confidence and composure made people believe that he had other means.

The captain's face turned pale and blue, and he was choked by Lu Yun's words. The crowd around him also whispered, and the scene was a little awkward. He tried to save face and said stubbornly.

"Okay, if you have the guts, give it a try. Don't come crying and beg me for mercy later!"
