Chapter 1067 Joining the Party
Lu Yus question about the Demon Lord Abyss sent a wave of concern through Zhao Tianlong. He leaned back, his brow furrowed in thought.
The Demon Lord Abyss, Zhao Tianlong finally spoke. Have you encountered their followers?
Lu Yu nodded curtly. Indeed. They attacked me, revealing a worrying level of awareness about something valuable I possess. It seems theyve investigated me thoroughly.
I see, Zhao Tianlong replied. This demands increased vigilance.
He sat up straight, his expression serious. Since thats the case, Ill inform you as much as I know about the Demon Lord Abyss.
The Demon Lord Abyss lives in a realm of darkness and chaos, teeming with monstrous creatures and even corrupted dragons.
Organized factions have emerged within its borders, typically content to confine their conflicts to that chaotic region.
However, several years ago, various locations throughout the Ten Thousand Dragon Country discovered several previously dormant teleportation channels leading directly to the Demon Lord Abyss, which was activated.
Investigations revealed these were part of a larger scheme, an orchestrated plan for invasion. Currently, they remain in the preparation stage, but its inevitable that we will face them in the future. Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Dragon Country is no stranger to conflict, and most citizens are accustomed to such challenges.
I advise against venturing near that realm, Lu Yu. Its a perilous place, unfit for those without a compelling reason. Its inhabitants are warped by their environment, often appearing disfigured, tainted, or consumed by darkness.
Lu Yu absorbed this information with a thoughtful nod. From your description, this place is indeed no ordinary locale.
Precisely, Zhao Tianlong affirmed. Therefore, its best to avoid it. If they cross your path again, deal with them decisively. They are like vermin lurking in the shadows, best eliminated or repelled.
Lu Yu rose, prepared to take his leave. I understand. Ill keep a watchful eye on these individuals.
If thats all, Ill take my leave for now.
Very well. Take care, Lu Yu. I guess theres no need to see you out.
Bidding farewell to Zhao Tianlong, Lu Yu departed the villa.
Reaching the streets, he decided to check in with Hu Zhan and his team at their hotel.
Upon entering the lobby, he found Hu Zhan and his companions gathered around a table, their faces flushed with excitement as they enjoyed a celebratory meal.
What brings the celebration? Lu Yu inquired, approaching the group. Hu Zhan, spotting Lu Yu, sprang to his feet with a wide grin. Lu Yu! Come, have a seat!
Join us! Were celebrating the successful completion of our quest and the generous reward we receiveda hefty sum of gold coins!
This mission was a resounding success. Weve eradicated the threat the White Spirit Dragon poses, ensuring the countrys safety.
Laughter filled the air as the team members clinked their glasses in a toast.
What about me? Lu Yu asked, his curiosity piqued.
Ah, right! Hu Zhan exclaimed. I submitted a detailed report to the higher-ups, ensuring your contributions were accurately represented. Despite your foreign status, theyve agreed to your inclusion in the hunting team. Its a special exception granted due to your exceptional abilities!
This is a golden opportunity, Lu Yu, Hu Zhan continued, clapping him on the shoulder. A chance to climb the ranks and reach the pinnacle of power. With your strength, I have no doubt youll excel!
Hu Zhan smiled and patted Lu Yus shoulder. He trusted Lu Yu very much.
Lu Yu returned Hu Zhans smile with a determined nod. I appreciate the opportunity, and I wont let you down. As part of your team now, Ill learn everything I need about the Ten Thousand Dragon Country and its customs.
My lack of familiarity needs your guidance.
No worries, consider me your personal guide, Hu Zhan boomed, his enthusiasm infectious.
Just a heads-up, though, your starting position might be lower than youd expectan ordinary member. The higher-ups want to see you prove yourself first.
Please understand, considering my outsider status and lack of history here. Even with the White Spirit Dragon under your belt, caution from our higher-ups isnt surprising. You will need to earn their trust and rise through the ranks. It shouldnt take long.
Lu Yu calmly nodded. I can understand their concern. Dont worry.
As expected from someone this strong, you are such a magnanimous person! If it were me, I would definitely make a fuss and make them give me the title of team leader!
After Hu Zhan said this, he immediately burst into laughter. The rest of the team members also followed suit and laughed.
Speaking of ranking, Lu Yu continued, his curiosity piqued, how does your position as squad leader fit into the hierarchy?
Up the ladder, you have the captain, overseeing fifty to a hundred members, Hu Zhan explained, launching into a detailed breakdown. Then comes the district captain, managing a group of smaller hunting teams. Above them are the royal team, its captain, the brigade captain, the internal officers, the deputy secretary, and finally, the secretarythe head honcho.
Its a long climb, huh? Im just a rookie squad leader with limited authority, barely scraping by in a royal team, Hu Zhan admitted with a touch of self-deprecation. Theyll likely put you on an observation period, given your outsider status.
Our next stop is Skyplume City, a haven for flying dragons, Hu Zhan continued, shifting the topic slightly. Well rest there for a while before moving on.
Lu Yu nodded slightly. No problem. When do we leave, now?
Lu Yu considered the information. Despite writing to Su Qing, the letters fate remained uncertain.
Waiting in hope wouldnt guarantee anything. To avoid wasting time, heading toward the capital became the logical choice.
Lets set off as soon as possible. Im ready to leave anytime.
Alright, lets set off after lunch. Ive already prepared a carriage. Well take it to Skyplume City, Hu Zhan said with a smile.
Lu Yu stood up and prepared to leave. Alright, Ill come back at noon. Ill bring
Jiang Xun over, too..
