Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

There really is a river beneath this brothel, and it's called the Dark River.

Chu Yang followed Yu Lu down the secret passage and soon arrived at the riverbank.

There is a small boat on the river, and a ferryman on it.

As someone approached, the ferryman said calmly, "The moon sets over the western stream."

The rain and dew replied, "The boat is not moored to the shore."

The ferryman then let the two people onto the small boat.

The underground river is not a large river, and the current is not rapid, but small boats can travel at extremely high speeds on it!

It even gave Chu Yang the feeling of riding a high-speed train.

The underground river is a subterranean river, where no natural light can penetrate.

However, the stone walls on both sides naturally shimmered with a bluish light, providing some brightness.

There were other small boats speeding along the underground river besides Chu Yang's small boat.

Interestingly, on this underground river, the small boats travel at extremely high speeds, whether going upstream or downstream.

Chu Yang asked Yu Lu curiously, "Is there some kind of special formation or array beneath this underground river?"

Yu Lu ignored Chu Yang, probably still angry about what happened in the brothel.

Half an hour later, the small boat docked.

Chu Yang arrived at the Dark River headquarters.

The headquarters was much larger than Chu Yang had imagined; it was practically an underground city.

Because it is located underground, the entire Dark River headquarters has a dark and mysterious style.

Chu Yang followed Yu Lu through the Dark River headquarters, making many twists and turns, and they got the code right seven or eight times along the way.

At first, Chu Yang had the leisure to jot down a few sentences, but later he became too lazy to do so.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, Chu Yang finally met another key figure in this extraordinary encounter.

"My lord, the person has been brought."

"Um."

The person Yu Lu called "adult" was a middle-aged man who was about 1.7 meters tall and had an average appearance.

He is the Lord of the Dark River, the highest-ranking official of the Dark River in the Spirit Abyss Realm.

The Lord of the Dark River cut to the chase: "Does your Gatekeeper want to take on this mission?"

Chu Yang nodded.

The Lord of the Dark River said, "This mission is extremely risky, but also very significant. It was originally assigned to him by the Dark River."

The Lord of the Dark River, who was referring to him, was also in the hall.

This is a young man who stands straight, like a long spear.

The Lord of the Dark River continued, "If you want to take on this mission, you must first defeat him."

Upon hearing this, the young man stood in front of Chu Yang, his gaze fixed on Chu Yang, a faint killing intent enveloping Chu Yang.

Chu Yang said calmly, "You want him to fight me? He'll die."

The Lord of the Dark River laughed and said, "He won't die."

Chu Yang shrugged, and two "Dodge" spells passed through the young man.

The moment Chu Yang moved, the young man drew his sword and slashed out. His figure disappeared from the spot and transformed into nine sword lights, not only dodging the damage from Chu Yang's "Evasion" skill, but also avoiding all control effects.

As the blade's gleam faded, the young man had already vanished ten meters away from Chu Yang.

He brandished his sword from a distance, and dozens of streaks of cyan light flew toward Chu Yang.

However, Chu Yang's "Dodge" technique never stopped, and these blue blade lights could not harm him in the slightest.

However, more and more Chu Yang mirror images and lightning-type spirits began to shoot wildly in the hall.

The young man was ultimately unable to remain invincible like Chu Yang. When dozens of Chu Yang mirror images appeared in the hall, he could no longer use displacement to attack Chu Yang from a distance.

When several bolts of lightning struck the youth, and the [Lightning Punishment] mark was placed on his head, he had no chance to turn the tide.

With Chu Yang's current setup, unless he encounters truly overpowered beings from the God Race whom he cannot comprehend, it would be impossible for a normal person to defeat him.

"Boom boom boom!"

The inescapable lightning strikes continued to fall, and it seemed the young man was about to be struck and killed by them.

The young man's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next second he appeared next to the Lord of the Dark River.

Several bolts of lightning continued to pursue the young man, but they all disappeared before reaching the Lord of the Dark River!

The young man wasn't the only one protected by the Lord of the Dark River; Yu Lu was also teleported behind him by the Lord of the Dark River during their battle.

Seeing this, Chu Yang became very interested and used an "Evasion" technique to approach the Lord of the Dark River.

He did not directly attack the Dark River Master, but simply allowed the lightning-type spirit beside him to randomly fire lightning.

As a result, these lightning bolts, just like the previous "Lightning Strike," mysteriously disappeared before they reached the Lord of the Dark River.

They couldn't even leave the [Thunder Punishment] mark on the Lord of the Dark River.

"How did you do that?" Chu Yang asked curiously.

The Lord of the Dark River smiled slightly: "You will naturally find out in the future... Alright, this task can be entrusted to you, and Rain and Dew will assist you in completing it."

After the Lord of the Dark River finished speaking, he and the young man beside him left.

Chu Yang looked at Yu Lu, who was dressed in a black bodysuit, and asked in surprise, "When did you change your clothes?"

Yu Lu took a deep breath and said, "Phew~ Come with me, I'll tell you the details of this mission."

The two arrived at a hall engraved with a teleportation array. Yu Lu pointed to the Silent Blade Token in Chu Yang's hand and said, "This thing is a coordinate. You can use it to open a teleportation portal to the Silent Blade Society's base."

Chu Yang asked, "The Silent Blade Society?"

Yu Lu explained, "The Silent Blade Society is an organization of the Spirit Clan. The most troublesome thing about this organization is that they possess a small world."

Seeing Chu Yang's blank expression, Yu Lu knew that Chu Yang didn't know what a small world was.

However, she wasn't too surprised, since according to the information they obtained from the Dark River about the Gatekeeper, the Gatekeeper didn't know much about the common knowledge of the prehistoric world.

"Small worlds are spatial magical artifacts crafted from fragments of a plane, and generally do not appear in lower-level planes."

"Small worlds can contain all living things. The Silent Blade Society has used small worlds to lead large armies to attack our human cities many times."

"You should know about the Blood Sacrifice ritual of the Spirit Race, right? It was already in Blast Furnace City half a year ago."

"These spirits of the Silent Blade Society, after conquering our city, used human blood sacrifices to train their troops..."

Chu Yang suddenly said, "Wait, Blast Furnace City half a year ago? You were there back then?"

Yes, half a year ago in Gaolu City, Yulu personally witnessed Chu Yang's solo raid on the Golden Wheel King's mansion.

At the time, she was working with another secret agent named Qingfeng.

The core objective of the assassination attempt on the Golden Wheel King in Blast Furnace City was the Silent Blade Token in Chu Yang's possession.

Because they received intelligence that the Golden Wheel King was a member of the Silent Blade Society.

They initially thought the plan had failed, but unexpectedly, six months later, they received news about the Silent Blade Token from the Doorkeeper organization.

Even more coincidentally, the person who came to meet them with the Silent Blade Token was none other than the Door Pusher, whose strength was so great that Yu Lu could never forget him.

At first, Yu Lu had a pretty good impression of Chu Yang.

Until what happened at Zuiyue Tower.

In Yu Lu's eyes now, Chu Yang is a very powerful womanizer!

How could someone want to do that kind of thing during a mission?

This is simply... simply outrageous!

If the opponent's strength hadn't been so overwhelmingly powerful, she would have suggested that the Lord of the Dark River find someone else to carry out the mission.
