"Not staying home a little longer?"

imperial capital.

On the way to the Dragon Roar Group, Qi Zhaolin made a sarcastic remark with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun rubbed his temples and said with a headache.

"Wasn't it you who urged me to stay? Do you think I didn't want to stay a little longer?"

Although he hadn't gone out these past few days, he had been very busy and hadn't had a moment's rest. The only time he could sleep comfortably was the night he spent alone with Xu Qingmeng. Of course, the two of them didn't do anything; he just lay on Xu Qingmeng's lap and slept all night.

Xu Qingmeng didn't wake him up because she felt sorry for him being tired. Her legs were numb when she woke up this morning, which made Xu Zhenguang and the others look at them strangely from the moment they saw the two of them until Lu Yun left.

It was obvious that they had misunderstood something, but Lu Yun was too lazy to explain. He told Xu Qingmeng to go and rest, and then followed Qi Zhaolin, whom he had found, to the capital.

Seeing this, Qi Zhaolin gave a strange laugh.

"Okay, then I'll come later next time."

"Forget it, business is more important."

Qi Zhaolin chuckled, finding Lu Yun increasingly interesting.

He used to be cautious and prudent in his dealings with others, and although he is still like that now, there is a noticeable increase in the ease on his face.

It seems that increased strength can indeed bring confidence. Lu Yun is now more humane and has a more dignified demeanor.

"Oh right, didn't you say the Xu family had moved to Dream City? Why are you still in Mingguang City this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun leaned back and laughed.

"It's true that they've moved, but they still need to keep their ancestral graves. And it's not just the Xu family; many powerful forces have moved their headquarters to Dream City. But their hometown is their root, and they must stay there. They can't forget their roots."

"However, Uncle Xu and I discussed it and decided that the wedding should still be held at Dream City. It's a big place and suitable for business."

Qi Zhaolin nodded, then smiled.

"However, you haven't been back to school for a single class since the start of the semester. Even though you don't need to, you still need to go back and check on important school matters."

Lu Yun is now a living advertisement, greatly enhancing the prestige of Imperial Capital Academy. Both Qi Huanyu and other teachers at the school want him to go back and lend his support, so that the students' reputation can rise even higher.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's focus on the Pangu Project first."

Qi Zhaolin smiled and crossed his legs.

"There's no need to look back. The university competition is about to start, and there's still time."

Lu Yun pursed his lips speechlessly.

"I knew you were up to no good by bringing this up on purpose."

"Hey, you kid?"

Qi Zhaolin was both amused and exasperated, but seeing that Lu Yun did not refuse, he was relieved.

As the car stopped, someone opened the door, and Lu Yun got out and immediately smiled.

"Xue Liang? What, it's you, kid?"

Xue Liang smiled innocently and quickly led Lu Yun inside.

"Didn't we hear you were here?"

Xue Liang was only a few years older than him. He was intelligent and shrewd, but also very naive. He was worth cultivating, otherwise Lu Yun wouldn't have promoted him.

While traveling, Xue Liang quickly told Lu Yun about the recent events at the Li Huo Camp, and Lu Yun nodded repeatedly as he listened.

When they arrived at the entrance of the teleportation array and saw Wei Hongyi and the others, Lu Yun patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Work hard, and this position in the Lihuo Battalion will definitely be yours in the future."

Xue Liang's eyelids twitched, and he was about to speak in a flustered manner, but Lu Yun waved his hand to stop him.

"Once everything in the Dragon Roar Group is on track, I will definitely return the power to Captain Wei. At that time, the Fire Camp will still depend on you."

Upon hearing this, Xue Liang dared not say more, but the gratitude and respect in his eyes were already evident.

After giving him a few words of encouragement, Lu Yun didn't waste any more time and followed Qi Zhaolin and Wei Hongyi into the teleportation portal.

However, after arriving in Vermilion Bird City, Lu Yun still had some doubts.

It makes sense that Qi Zhaolin brought him to the Abyss Battlefield to grind demons for his inheritance quest, but he also has the Pangu Project quest, so coming here is a bit puzzling.

Seeing his suspicious look, Qi Zhaolin took the opportunity during the journey to the city lord's mansion to explain.

"Your mission and the Pangu Project are not to be carried out here. This is just a transit point. You will understand when you meet my father."

Lu Yun nodded and silently followed the two into the city lord's mansion.

Qi Huanyu was still there, and Zhang Chengmu was also there. When Lu Yun saw the two old men, he immediately smiled.

"You two aren't going to be leading this mission, are you?"

The two of them laughed upon hearing this.

"Hey kid, what's wrong? You think we two old men are too weak to carry you?"

"No, just don't hold us back."

The two were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good, as expected, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, haha."

Upon seeing this, Wei Hongyi quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Greetings, Master."

Qi Huanyu waved his hand.

"Alright, that's not the rule here. Let's go, business is more important."

Qi Huanyu didn't waste any words and waved his hand, leading Lu Yun and the other three away from the city lord's mansion.

When they reappeared, the five of them had arrived at a place that Lu Yun was familiar with.

"This is... the Abyss Battlefield Secret Realm?"

Seeing the familiar scene, Lu Yun was very suspicious. Upon hearing this, Qi Huanyu took out a silver token and summoned a teleportation portal.

"This is indeed the Abyss Battlefield Secret Realm, but the area you farmed is only one-tenth of the entire secret realm."

"To be precise, this is just an outpost."

After Qi Huanyu led the four people into the teleportation portal, he introduced them to Lu Yun from above Xingguang's head.

Simply put, the Abyss Battlefield is different from the other nine. It is an outpost of the Demon Abyss, and it is connected to a large area, or space, behind it.

According to Qi Huanyu, that space was created by the demon race in order to invade Blue Star, but the human race discovered it early and began to plan and deal with the demon race.

Otherwise, after all these years, the number of demons on Earth would definitely be much greater than what we have now.

"With your abilities, you're capable of handling many things, so it's time to tell you some secrets."

Qi Huanyu's sudden remark completely baffled Lu Yun.

"Is this a sign they're going to lay their cards on the table?"

Qi Huanyu shook his head, and as the starlight stopped in front of a barrier, he took out the token he had previously used.

"Complete separation is impossible, but there are some things that can still be said."

Perhaps fearing that Lu Yun would be unhappy, Qi Huanyu added another sentence.

"This world is very complex, even the few of us haven't fully understood it, and telling you now won't help you, it will only add to your burden."

"I can only tell you some things that are easy for you to understand, but are still important."

"That way, you'll have a better understanding of what to do next."

Seeing this, Lu Yun nodded.

"I know about this. Tell me, what secret?"

Qi Huanyu paused, then looked at Lu Yun with a very serious expression.

"Our world is most likely... fake."

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then his expression hardened.
