Chapter 1069 An Important Visitor

A woman named Zhao Qingya approached Lu Yu. She raised a hand to her mouth and whispered, “I’ve come to offer you a quest.”

“Is it for me alone?” Lu Yu inquired curiously.

“Yes,” Zhao Qingya confirmed. “I’m aware of your strength and wanted to test you with this challenge.”

Lu Yu nodded, replying casually, “No problem. Lay out the details. What’s the reward for completing this mission?”

“Straightforward, I see,” Zhao Qingya chuckled. “You prioritize the reward over difficulty. This implies confidence in completing any mission; wouldn’t you agree?”

Lu Yu smiled, clapping his hands. “Your assessment is accurate. Difficulty holds no concern for me. I’m confident in my abilities.”

“Then be warned,” Zhao Qingya began, her voice turning serious. “The enemy you’ll face is formidable. As mayor of the southwest region, I scanned the area and found a few suitable candidates. Most are preoccupied and unavailable. If you accept this task, you’ll earn my favor. Consider it a debt I will gladly repay.”

“Within the Ten Thousand Dragon Country, I hold a position of considerable power,” she continued, pride evident in her voice. “Even in Skyplume City, I wield significant authority.”

Lu Yu listened attentively, nodding at her words. “I understand. However, wouldn’t other departments handle security and investigations within the empire, not just the hunting squad you lead?”

Zhao Qingya offered a helpless smile. “Precisely why I mentioned being one among those holding high authority.”

“Even within our country, my power and status rank among the top 100. That’s quite remarkable, wouldn’t you say?” She added proudly.

Lu Yu acknowledged her statement with another nod. “Now, please elaborate

on the quest.’

He then approached Zhao Qingya’s carriage, beautifully crafted from natural mahogany and adorned with light purple curtains embroidered with intricate patterns.

Despite her initial coldness and arrogance, a sense of gentleness seemed to emanate from her.

“Let’s discuss this inside,” she suggested, “to maintain confidentiality.”

Zhao Qingya entered the carriage, with Lu Yu following closely behind. He turned to Hu Zhan, who stood outside curiously.

“May I join, Mayor?” Hu Zhan inquired.

“Certainly,” Zhao Qingya replied. “As his captain, you hold a position of authority and are welcome to participate in the discussion.”

Hu Zhan smiled and entered the carriage, taking a seat.

Zhao Qingya addressed them both with a serious expression. “Our organization has detected a demonic being from the Demon Lord Abyss operating near Sky Plume City. This individual has released a magical beast estimated to possess level 70 strength, signifying exceptional power and ferocity. We suspect they intend to attack the city.”

Lu Yu frowned. “Attacking the city? Such audacity.”

“Indeed,” Zhao Qingya concurred. “They’ve already launched several surprise attacks, making defense challenging.”

“Therefore, I request your assistance in dealing with this magical beast.” “And what level is this level 70 exactly?” Lu Yu asked urgently.

“Just look at his expression,” Zhao Qingya said, gesturing towards Hu Zhan.

Lu Yu turned to see Hu Zhan staring at Zhao Qingya with wide eyes and an open mouth.

“Mayor Zhao,” Hu Zhan stammered, “are you suggesting we take on this quest? Isn’t it far beyond our capabilities? A level 70 magical beast! Such creatures are incredibly rare, even within the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Country!”

“That’s why I’ve come to you,” Zhao Qingya explained. “The rarity of cultivators at this level makes finding someone incredibly difficult. Delaying any longer could exacerbate the problem. If an invasion commences, many lives are at stake. We take this very seriously and are understandably anxious.”

Hu Zhan’s lips trembled. “Given the urgency you express, why consider us then? Wouldn’t this be rather hasty?”

“I have reviewed your report,” Zhao Qingya clarified. “I am aware of Lu Yu’s exceptional strength, possibly exceeding level 70. Nevertheless, I don’t intend to rely solely on you. I have an old acquaintance who could be of assistance if necessary.”

“An old friend and fellow childhood companion,” she continued, “named Tian Ruoyi. Recently, she tamed an elemental dragon and is currently in seclusion, strengthening their bond. Her return won’t be immediate.”

“Tian Ruoyi?” Hu Zhan inquired, his curiosity piqued. “If I recall correctly, she secured first place in the National Battle Pet Competition’s elemental dragon category last year, right?”

“Indeed,” Zhao Qingya confirmed. “She’s a highly respected dragon trainer renowned nationwide for her expertise in taming elemental dragons. Having her aid would undoubtedly ensure mission success.”

“But is she someone you can order?” Hu Zhan looked at her with suspicion.

“If I can’t, there won’t be anyone else.” Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes. “While I possess the authority to request her assistance, I would rather not disturb her training unless absolutely necessary.”

“Therefore, I entrust this quest to you,” she declared. “Simultaneously, I will contact Tian Ruoyi to prepare for her arrival. If unsuccessful, return immediately, and I’ll arrange for her intervention.”

“Upon your completion of the quest, I will inform her to return to her training.

So, what’s your decision? Do you accept the quest?”

Lu Yu responded decisively, “Of course, I accept. Just provide the coordinates, and I’ll depart immediately.”

“Regarding your friend,” Lu Yu added, “there’s no need for her to come. It would be a waste of her time.

Following his statement, Lu Yu stood up, ready to leave.

Zhao Qingya reached out and gently patted his arm. “There’s no rush,” she reassured him. “I’ll explain the details of the quest. It’s also getting late, and you should set off tomorrow.”

“The enemy’s location is north of the city, within a hidden basin deep in the pine forest,” she elaborated. “Finding it might prove challenging, so thorough searching may be necessary.”

“One crucial detail,” she continued, her voice turning serious. “This individual is adept at setting traps. Several investigators sent to locate him within the forest vanished without a trace, most likely falling victim to these traps.

“Exercise extreme caution and avoid these traps at all costs..”
