It seemed that everything in Tianwu Continent calmed down in that instant.

The remnants of the Wu Dynasty's monsters and the newly-emerged Wu Dynasty's survivors once again confronted each other.

The monsters were driven back into the deep mountains and forests of the northern border, but those powerful monsters were still in the southern border.

Now that there is no saint in the Wu Dynasty, the Tianwu Realm can do evil.

Even if a demon beast appeared in a human city, as long as it displayed the strength of the Heavenly Martial Realm, those humans would just pretend not to see it.

For a time, a grand atmosphere of humans and monsters traveling together was created.

If it weren't for the monstrous evil spirit still permeating the sealed capital, many people would probably have forgotten the fact that the Wu Dynasty was destroyed by monsters a hundred years ago.

Nearly a hundred years have passed between the passage of time.

The seal of the Evil Tiger King had been loosened, and no grass grew within a thousand miles of the entire city.

The monsters lurking in the north are also ready to move.

The King who provided for them has returned!

And now, the matter of Xuanwu City has also been known to the Tianwu Continent. In addition to the fall of the entire Wu Dynasty, there is still a city that should have been the first to be destroyed.

Over the past hundred years, countless people have wanted to enter Xuanwu City, but most of them were rejected by the strict rules.

The rule is that Xuanwu City no longer recruits warriors and only accepts ordinary people.

There were also many people who wanted to break in, but the four puppets outside were at the peak of the Tianwu realm, only half a step away from reaching the saint realm, and were definitely not to be trifled with.

In the Saintless Wu Dynasty, the Tianwu Realm is their ceiling.

The Ninth Heaven Martial Realm is the pinnacle of the Martial Dynasty.

Of course, there were also saints from other countries who came together to pay homage.

Unfortunately, rules are rules, and the three saints were also turned away.

The realm of saints was rejected by a small city.

These old bastards felt so ashamed that they actually joined forces to attack the city!

However, they obviously underestimated Xuanwu City.

The moment they took action, a powerful sword energy instantly cut them apart.

Four puppets in the Tianwu realm attacked at the same time, and another puppet appeared out of thin air above the open ground, along with 100,000 soldiers in black armor.

The man in the lead was only at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, but the connection between him and these 100,000 divinely-armored soldiers was already one and the same!

The power that erupts is not much less than that of a saint.

There are also countless thick branches that directly cling to the city walls, making the walls' defenses even better.

In the end, of course, these three saints fled in a panic.

Since then, no one dared to cause trouble for Xuanwu City.

Even a saint would not dare to seek trouble again.

On this day, the citizens of Xuanwu City continued to practice as usual, or tried hard to live their lives.

Most of the first group of people who entered Xuanwu City have now started families and careers.

The number of citizens in Xuanwu City also increased from the initial 20,000 to nearly one million.

If there wasn't a small world inside, Xuanwu City would have exploded long ago.

An ancient tree suddenly transformed into a human form and was discovered by a child passing by. The child changed into an old man and gently made a gesture to keep quiet.

The children were ecstatic.

Everyone is talking about how powerful Xuanwu City is and how there are god-like figures in it.

But he had never seen it and never believed it.

Seeing it today, I am naturally extremely excited.

The old man smiled slightly, and the next moment he disappeared from the children's sight and came to a pond.

He did not disturb those who were still soaking and practicing in the spirit pool, but walked into a sphere about three meters square, made of tree branches.

"Judging from the richness of the spiritual energy, it will be almost there soon."

The old man Gumu sat cross-legged and turned into a tree, blocking the wooden sphere.

In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.

The tree world suddenly shook.

Black traces emerged from inside, accompanied by thunder and a rustling sound in space.

Old Man Gumu opened his eyes and waved his hand, and the entire Xuanwu City was wrapped in Senluo wood.

As bits of tree powder fell, millions of citizens fell into a coma.

There were no earth-shattering noises, nor any dazzling visions in the sky.

A hand gently pushed open the tree boundary, and a naked man walked out from inside.

His hair had already reached the ground, and his beard was tangled and messy.

"call--"

The sloppy man let out a light breath, and a lightning snake exploded on the ground.

"How long?"

The man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

Old Man Gumu smiled slightly.

"Ninety-eight years have passed."

Ninety-eight years...

"Senior Gumu, I have something else to do. Let's catch up later."

"No problem!"

The man stepped back into the City Lord's Mansion.

The next moment after he entered the City Lord's Mansion, all his hair and beard fell off, and he was wearing a spiritual coat.

This person is Lin Yun!

He looked at himself in the mirror carefully and clicked his tongue twice.

It seemed that he was a little taller, and his aura was vaguely emerging.

The boy has truly become a man!

He smiled with satisfaction and snapped his fingers. When he was about to ask, a voice sounded in his mind!

"Congratulations, host! You have completed the century-long mission of defending Xuanwu City!"

"Congratulations, host! You have completed the overall construction progress of Xuanwu City!"

"Congratulations to the host! The citizens of Xuanwu City have broken through the 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, and 1 million achievement trees!"

"Congratulations, host! The number of Xuanwu City troops has exceeded 200,000!"

"Congratulations, host..."

The series of prompt sounds lasted for half an hour.

The entire City Lord’s Mansion is full of rewards from the system.

Finally, the system paused, and then said:

"Congratulations, host! Your retreat has been successful! All realm shackles have been broken, and the first phase of Xuanwu City construction is complete. Are you ready to enter the refining stage? This stage is divided into ten levels, and the rewards for each level are very generous."

Lin Yun jokingly asked back:

"What if I don't accept? I still can't leave Xuanwu City?"

No one spoke for a hundred years.

He was almost going crazy. The system had been with him for a long time, continuing the tradition of a hundred years ago. When it was time to speak out, he would definitely speak out!

Otherwise, if this system becomes inflated, it will be difficult to get good things in the future.

"Of course not! Once Xuanwu City is fully constructed, the mission will be completed! This is just an additional mission, and the reward is even more generous than before. You can choose not to accept it! But you have to think it over carefully!"

Lin Yun chuckled.

It's just a matter of protesting.

But no one would resist a reward, right?

Besides, the system won’t harm him.

Who knows if this reward will actually be useful in the future.

He accepted the task of refining in Xuanwu City!

For a moment, his connection with this majestic city became even deeper!
