Chapter 1067 Joining the Party
Lu Yu’s 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 they’ve investigated me thoroughly.”
“I see,” Zhao Tianlong replied. “This demands increased vigilance.”

He sat up straight, his expression serious. “Since that’s the case, I’ll 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 it’s 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. It’s 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, it’s 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. I’ll keep a watchful eye on these individuals.”
“If that’s all, I’ll take my leave for now.”
“Very well. Take care, Lu Yu. I guess there’s 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! We’re celebrating the successful completion of our quest and the generous reward we received—a hefty sum of gold coins!”
“This mission was a resounding success. We’ve eradicated the threat the White Spirit Dragon poses, ensuring the country’s 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, they’ve agreed to your inclusion in the hunting team. It’s 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 you’ll excel!”
Hu Zhan smiled and patted Lu Yu’s shoulder. He trusted Lu Yu very much.
Lu Yu returned Hu Zhan’s smile with a determined nod. “I appreciate the opportunity, and I won’t let you down. As part of your team now, I’ll 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 you’d expect—an 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 isn’t surprising. You will need to earn their trust and rise through the ranks. It shouldn’t take long.”
Lu Yu calmly nodded. “I can understand their concern. Don’t 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 secretary—the head honcho.”
“It’s a long climb, huh? I’m just a rookie squad leader with limited authority, barely scraping by in a royal team,” Hu Zhan admitted with a touch of self-deprecation. “They’ll 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. “We’ll 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 letter’s fate remained uncertain.
Waiting in hope wouldn’t guarantee anything. To avoid wasting time, heading toward the capital became the logical choice.
“Let’s set off as soon as possible. I’m ready to leave anytime.”
“Alright, let’s set off after lunch. I’ve already prepared a carriage. We’ll take it to Skyplume City,” Hu Zhan said with a smile.
Lu Yu stood up and prepared to leave. “Alright, I’ll come back at noon. I’ll bring
Jiang Xun over, too..”
