The captain, still panting, continued, “That bastard… he attacked my team members, and they all exploded and died tragically!”

He then dropped to his knees. “City Lord, we must attack immediately and eliminate that bastard. Otherwise, he will definitely continue to attack!”

Lin Yuan’s face darkened at this news.

“Since he’s from the Demon Lord Abyss, his strength must be considerable. Dealing with demons of that caliber usually falls to the much more powerful United Front Division, or at least the city guards of a major city or the hunting team!”

“Asking us to handle such a formidable enemy is completely unreasonable!”

He turned to Zhao Qingya with a helpless sigh. “Mayor Zhao, you’re well aware of the situation in Jasper City. Our combat strength has never been impressive. This is a renowned vacation spot. Do we have the manpower to handle such a powerful enemy?”

“Now, since you’re here, please help me. I cannot express my gratitude enough. In the future, if you need anything from me, I’ll do my best to assist you!”

He spoke sincerely, his hands clasped in a gesture of pleading, hoping Zhao Qingya would intervene.

Zhao Qingya sighed in exasperation. “This is inconvenient. I had to hurry to the capital earlier.”

She looked at Lu Yu and asked, “If I must deal with this matter, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help. Perhaps…”

Lu Yu was growing impatient. “Do I have to do all the dirty work?”

“City Lord Lin, as you can see, we’re not people who can be ordered around. You can’t just casually ask us to help you.”

Lin Yuan felt increasingly troubled. He scratched his head, looked at Lu Yu, and said, “How about this? If you can help me with this, I’ll let my daughter marry you. She’s the most beautiful woman in all of Jasper City. Moreover, she’s been learning dance since she was young, and her figure is also perfect.”

Lu Yu waved his hand dismissively. “Do you think I lack women? Besides, I came to the Ten Thousand Dragon Country to find women and my family. So, don’t waste your breath with such nonsense.”

“How about this? Take out all your Dazzling Dragon Crystals. Take as many as you have.”

“What? Dazzling Dragon Crystal? You might as well ask for my life. That thing is incredibly precious!”

“Do you even have them?” Lu Yu asked.

“This… Our people were lucky enough to dig up one while mining outside. If you want it, I’ll go get it for you now.”

“No problem, go get it. I want it, and then I’ll help you. You have to remember who helped you. It’s our hunting team!”

“Alright…”

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and exited the reception room with determined strides.

He passed through the courtyard and headed straight for the manor’s treasury. His eyes held a focused and determined glint, his heart fixated on a single goal, that legendary Dazzling Dragon Crystal.

Upon reaching the storeroom, he paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. He then gently pushed open the door and stepped into this treasure-filled chamber.

The Dazzling Dragon Crystal immediately captured his gaze. It rested quietly on a shelf, emitting an intoxicating light, resembling a treasure from the depths of the universe.

Lin Yuan slowly approached and carefully extended his hand to hold the crystal in his palm. He felt its warmth and gently rubbed its surface, his eyes filled with reluctance.

This crystal held immense significance for him. He considered it a symbol of his good fortune and was unwilling to part with it.

But now, even with his reluctance, he had to do it. For the sake of the entire Jasper City, he had to make this sacrifice. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be worthy of being the City Lord.

He knew that as long as he could overcome this hurdle, he would still be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. However, if he couldn’t bear to part with the dragon crystal and the enemy attacked again, he would be completely finished if no one came to his aid.

With this understanding, he took the Dazzling Dragon Crystal and walked back towards the reception room.

He soon arrived and placed the crystal on the table in front of Lu Yu. “Here it is. You can take it. Although it’s only one and might not be enough to satisfy your appetite, please help me deal with the enemy. Otherwise, Jasper City will always be in danger.”

“Please help Jasper City deal with that hateful enemy!”

Lu Yu stood up and placed the Dazzling Dragon Crystal in his pocket watch. “No problem. Leave the rest to me. I’ll get rid of those enemies quickly.”

He strode towards the door, and a pair of dark dragon wings erupted from his back. With a powerful flap, he soared into the air.

Lu Yu ascended into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, he streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the peak of the clouds!

His figure resembled a dazzling meteor, piercing through layers of clouds until he reached the endless expanse of the sky.

Standing in the vastness, Lu Yu surveyed his surroundings. The ground below him was like a magnificent painting. Mountains, rivers, cities, and villages were all within sight, complemented by dense forests and vast grasslands.

After confirming the target’s location, Lu Yu took a deep breath and adjusted his posture. He then surged forward with explosive power, speeding towards his destination in the distance like an arrow leaving the bow. His speed was as fast as the wind, as if he wanted to leave the entire world behind him.

The wind whistled past his ears, but it did nothing to impede his determined advance.

Soon, Lu Yu spotted the ruins, matching the descriptions provided by the scouting team. However, he didn’t see the figure in black anywhere.

He descended slowly, cautiously observing his surroundings as he walked among the ruins.

“He must be hiding!”

Lu Yu turned to the Nightmare Dragon within his mind, seeking its assistance. The dragon could use its spiritual power to gather all signals in the vicinity, allowing it to choose whether to invade or influence them.

For now, a simple scan would suffice.

“Do you sense any strong spiritual power?”

“Master, I’m scanning the surroundings. I’ll inform you shortly.”

“It appears we haven’t detected any significant mental energy. Perhaps the individual is deliberately concealing it. However, I still believe there’s a high chance he’s escaped. After all, his location has been compromised. He would definitely relocate and not remain here.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “It seems we won’t be able to locate him for the time being.”
