Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curve upwards, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes. He then addressed the person below him:

"Alright, I'm aware of this matter. You don't need to handle it for the time being. Also, remember not to send anyone to East County City for reinforcements temporarily. I have my own way of dealing with this issue. Continue to monitor the situation, and report to me immediately if anything similar happens."

The person in charge immediately bowed and agreed, quickly backing away.

After the person left, Lin Yi stood up from the dragon throne and stretched.

Finally, he muttered to himself:

"Heh, Liu Buping, do you think this is still the era of the past?

Do you think my blade isn't sharp?

Do you think I can be manipulated as easily as that other Prince?

Don't mention just a small Commander like you, even your former master, Prince Ning, was of no consequence to me.

Heh, since you're seeking your own demise, there's no harm in using you as a cautionary example for this group of monkeys."

After saying this, he immediately rose and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Once outside, he glanced at the somewhat dark night but wasn't concerned.

With a slight upward curve of his lips, and a flick of his wrist, a brand new Iron Man Armor instantly covered his entire body.

He stomped his foot, and flames erupted from his feet, propelling him swiftly into the sky.

Indeed, he was going to personally visit East County City to see what was really going on there and whether Liu had his own agenda as he suspected.

As for how Lin Yi would find the city in this pitch-black night, don't forget that the system of this Iron Man Armor has a complete map of Dayou Nation.

The map of Dayou has been input into the system by Lin Yi.

Moreover, the system has redrawn according to this map, accurately recording every city in Dayou in the system's database of the Iron Man Armor.

For this reason, Lin Yi simply instructed the system within the Iron Man Armor to go to East County City, and the system automatically initiated flight mode.

Speaking of speed, the Iron Man Armor is fast. With horses, it would take two days and nights to reach East County City, but under the speed of the Iron Man Armor, it took less than five minutes to reach above the city.

Looking down, except for the scattered lights on a few city walls, the whole city was as black as ink.

Of course, not entirely pitch black. In the dark center, there was a noticeably brighter spot.

No need to think, this must be the City Lord's Mansion, the residence of that Liu fellow.

From an aerial view, Lin Yi could see that the City Lord's Mansion was quite large.

As for how he could see in the dark, it was because the entire area around the mansion was lit with lamps.

Even the walls were lined with lights, making it appear as if it were a small version of a city.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Yi's frown deepened. This guy really had a strong foothold here and managed things quite well, to the point of establishing such a mansion.

Normally, a city like this should not have such a luxurious City Lord's Mansion.

If it truly reached this level, it could compare with the mansions of the princes in the Capital City.

This would be a huge taboo.

After all, in ancient society, there were strict rules regarding the size of mansions, the types of carriages you could ride, etc.

This extravagance was way beyond the standard and absolutely not allowed by the court.

In such circumstances, being able to build such a large City Lord's Mansion shows the other party's ingenuity.

It also indicates the strength of the other party's capabilities.

However, Lin Yi would never indulge him for such actions.

No matter what backing he has, or how powerful he is, if he hinders my progress, I will not hesitate to eliminate him. I won't allow any obstacles on my path forward.

After observing carefully for a while, Lin Yi didn't concern himself with the city's garrison but headed straight to the area of light at the center.

Though it was late at night, it was only a little past ten.

At this time, the common people might be asleep, but for these officials, night life was just beginning.

Just like inside the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Yi barely landed above it when he heard faint music and dance beneath.

Following the sound, he soon arrived at the front of a spacious hall.

Looking at this grand hall, Lin Yi couldn't help but click his tongue. The scale of this hall was almost comparable to some smaller side halls of the Imperial Palace.

Though it cannot compare to my Imperial Council Hall, it's not inferior to the smaller palaces.

Even a prince couldn't own such a place, yet this small commander in a tiny city did, which is indeed a farce.

He operated the Iron Man Armor to land on the roof of the hall and casually waved the armor away.

Then he saw countless servants continuously coming in and out of the courtyard, carrying exquisite trays filled with exotic delicacies.

"Truly knows how to enjoy life; this is typical. The rich waste food and wine while the poor starve.

Such parasites are intolerable in Dayou Nation.

Regardless of whether your lifestyle is connected to the disappearance of the squad, or if it has anything to do with you, Liu, the court of Dayou Nation will not tolerate someone like you."
