Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 161 Dawn
Currently, Nalan City is under the jurisdiction of the Yi family, which is their sphere of influence. Far from Luo Yi City, it is a wild and barren place, far from major cities. The powerful families here don't take it seriously, and they give the Yi family face. Therefore, under the Yi family's rule, it is relatively peaceful and tranquil, unaffected by the struggles of other races and forces.

The Lan family's development here has been relatively smooth. They have their own shops, bringing specialties from the Endless Sea to trade here, and then taking the local products back to the Endless Sea to sell. They have a monopoly, and their business is thriving, unaffected by the turmoil on the Blue Card Continent. They are among the few wealthy merchants in Nalan City. Qin Lei also frequently travels here to cultivate, gradually shifting his focus here. The Endless Sea is peaceful and stable, and all races live in happiness and well-being.

Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing have returned to the underwater city! Lan Tian is left alone here, quietly pondering what to do next and where to go.

Now that the Spirit Hall has been disbanded, he wonders how the branch hall in Nalan City is doing! He wonders what will happen to the high-level Spirit Hall experts that his master took to the Holy Mountain for training, facing this situation upon their return. Should he bring his master back to take charge and revitalize the Spirit Hall? Lan Tian is extremely troubled and doesn't know what to do. Right now, he has arrived at the former Spirit Hall branch hall in Nalan City. The bustling and prosperous place is gone, replaced by a desolate atmosphere and tightly closed gates.

This place has been disbanded, and the students and cultivators no longer exist. It is now overgrown with weeds and has become a paradise for birds and beasts.

Lan Tian easily leaped up to the teaching building. The scenes of his past study and cultivation here vividly appeared before his eyes. The joy, the pain, the resilience, each scene moved Lan Tian. The past will never return. The friendship with his classmates is as deep as the sea. He wondered how they were doing! Were they safe now? Where were they?

Recalling the past, Lan Tian was filled with worries. Looking at the current branch of the Spirit Hall, Lan Tian understood everything. The Nalan City branch of the Spirit Hall had completely declined. Without the support of the royal family and the Luo Yi Empire, the Spirit Hall had lost its values. Its glorious days had ultimately disappeared into the torrent of history.

Under the hazy blue sky, some questions arose in his mind, and some truths came to him. The idea of ​​establishing his own sect and becoming independent took root in his heart. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and nothing was yet clear. Establishing his own sect seemed a long way off. Having the idea was enough; what the future held depended on his own efforts!
Without lingering, Lan Tian returned to the Lan residence in Nalan City. It was time to discuss countermeasures with his master and how to proceed from here!
In an instant, Lan Tian returned to the Holy Mountain and arrived at the place where Zhao Qingyun and the others were cultivating. He reported to Zhao Qingyun and the others everything he had seen and heard since returning to the Blue Card Continent.

This sudden change stunned the seniors; they hadn't expected the Blue Card Continent to have transformed to such an extent. Zhao Qingyun felt deeply ashamed, realizing that his decision had destroyed the Luo Yi Empire and buried the Spirit Hall.

“Master, this is not your fault. A powerful being at the God Realm appeared on the Blue Card Continent. He plundered us, causing the Blue Card Continent to fall apart and various forces to fight each other. It has nothing to do with you. This devilish act of the God Realm is definitely not from here. The Blue Card Continent must have been hijacked by an alien star field. The origin of this God Realm expert is unknown. In the future, we must advance to the God Realm as soon as possible in order to fight against them and protect the safety of the Blue Card Continent.”

Lan Tian said to his master Zhao Qingyun that he sensed Zhao Qingyun's guilt, helplessness in the face of the current situation, and negative emotions.

"I know my mistakes. Now I must go back as soon as possible to rebuild the Spirit Hall. The two elders will go back with me, and the other elders will stay here to cultivate, hoping to reach the God Realm. Only then will we have the strength to fight back."

Zhao Qingyun told everyone that his first thought was to go back and rebuild the Spirit Hall, which shows his deep affection for the Spirit Hall and that he is a true guardian of the Spirit Hall.

Lan Tian followed his master, and the four returned to the Spirit Hall in Nalan City. Seeing the desolation before them, all four were deeply saddened, and Zhao Qingyun almost burst into tears. However, Zhao Qingyun, experienced as he was, immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion to request support from the Yi family's leader. He knew the Yi family had treated him well in the past, and they would surely reciprocate. The City Lord was astonished to see Zhao Qingyun. This was the former branch leader of the Spirit Hall; five years had passed, and everyone assumed they had perished. His reunion today truly surprised the City Lord.

Zhao Qingyun's purpose this time was to get the city lord's help in rebuilding the Spirit Hall, and he needed support and assistance. He went straight to the point and stated his demands to the city lord.

"Lord Yi, this is the base where I revitalize the Spirit Hall. I hope you can provide us with manpower and supplies. We need 500 people to manage and renovate it now, as well as more living supplies. In the future, we will form an alliance with your Yi family, and your affairs will also be the affairs of the Spirit Hall. We will never let the Yi family suffer losses. The Spirit Hall will be open to your Yi family in the future and will do its best to cultivate talents."

"Haha, Lord Zhao, you are destined to be with our Yi family. We will definitely support your request with all our might! In the future, we will definitely form a strong alliance with the Spirit Hall. Your affairs are our affairs. I will arrange for people to go and handle the renovations. No rush, no rush. Let's sit down and have a good talk. The Blue Card Continent is currently a mixed bag, and war is raging. We need to establish in-depth cooperation as soon as possible. All arrangements will be made according to Lord Zhao's wishes."

"Alright, alright, I'm getting a little anxious! Let's discuss this further and make proper arrangements," Zhao Qingyun said.

Lan Tian stayed by their side, listening silently to their discussion without interrupting. Rebuilding the Spirit Hall was the top priority now. While Zhao Qingyun discussed the specifics with the city lord, the other two elders had already set off to various places to gather information about the Spirit Hall, to see how much of the disbanded Spirit Hall still existed. They were collecting information on the current state of the main hall in Luo Yi City, how many personnel remained, and the overall situation in Luo Yi City and the entire Blue Card Continent.

Nalan City was, after all, the territory of the Yi family's ancestral power. Over the course of a few days, the dilapidated Spirit Hall gradually recovered, and the busy staff coming and going made the place lively again! The news that Zhao Qingyun had returned spread throughout Nalan City in no time. Those students who had feelings for the Spirit Hall, had received its favors, and had studied and cultivated there all returned to join in the reconstruction.

Among these returning personnel, Lan Tian discovered his former classmates, who had all returned! Former teachers and instructors also returned to join, demonstrating the strong influence of the Spirit Hall in Nalan City, with Zhao Qingyun enjoying immense popularity.

What was most precious was that Lan Tian saw Xing Meng and Instructor Qi Fei again, and seeing that they were both well brought Lan Tian comfort from the bottom of his heart!
