Chapter 224 The system releases new tasks
Chen Yu followed the man in black through the woods shrouded in morning mist.
The dewdrops on the leaves slid down the veins and dripped onto Chen Yu's coarse linen clothes, leaving a small dark mark.
He couldn't help but look back. Moye was sitting cross-legged by the well, with his eyes closed, like an old monk in meditation.
Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan, Hua Yu, Shui Ling'er and Qing Qing sat together, chattering about the live broadcast just now, and bursts of silver bell-like laughter broke out from time to time.
The man in black kept walking, and Chen Yu could only trot to keep up. The man was tall, and his strides were long and fast. Following behind him, Chen Yu felt like he was chasing a speeding carriage.
"Big brother," Chen Yu asked breathlessly, "Who is your master?
Where are we going?"
The man in black didn't even turn his head and coldly spat out two words: "City Lord."
"City Lord?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment. "Which City Lord?"
The man in black stopped, turned around, and stared at Chen Yu with a pair of hawk-like eyes, which made him feel uneasy.
"The Lord of Luoxia City, Nangong Lie."
Chen Yu gasped. Nangong Lie, the Lord of Luoxia City, was a renowned figure in the world of immortal cultivation. It was said that his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength was unfathomable.
What does he want from me?
"What does City Lord Nangong want to talk to me about?" Chen Yu asked cautiously.
The man in black did not answer, but turned around again and continued walking forward.
Chen Yu had no choice but to continue following.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a valley filled with mist and a fairy-like air. A magnificent city suddenly appeared before their eyes.
The city wall towers into the clouds, and three large golden characters are written on the city gate: Luoxia City.
The man in black led Chen Yu through the city gate and into the city. Luoxia City had wide streets, numerous houses, and shops lined up side by side. The city was bustling with people, creating a prosperous scene.
Chen Yu was dazzled and felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
The man in black brought Chen Yu to the City Lord's Mansion. Located in the center of the city, the City Lord's Mansion covered a vast area, with magnificent and imposing buildings.
Two rows of armored soldiers stood at the door, each one looking majestic and murderous.
The man in black led Chen Yu through layers of guards and came to the hall of the city lord's mansion.
The hall was resplendent with gold and jade, carved beams and painted rafters, and magnificent. A burly middle-aged man in a brocade robe sat in the main seat. He was the Lord of Luoxia City, Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, and a majestic aura without even being angry. He exudes a powerful aura that makes people dare not look directly at him.
"Lord City Lord, Chen Yu is here." The man in black bowed and said.
"Yeah." Nangong Lie nodded and signaled the man in black to leave.
The man in black bowed and retreated, leaving only Chen Yu and Nangong Lie in the hall.
Chen Yu stood in the middle of the hall, feeling a little uneasy. He secretly looked at Nangong Lie, thinking that this city lord looked difficult to deal with, and wondered what he wanted from him.
Nangong Lie looked Chen Yu up and down with sharp eyes, as if he could see through his heart.
"Are you Chen Yu?"
"That's right." Chen Yu replied respectfully.
"I heard that you recently started a live-streaming group for cultivating immortals, and it's going very well?"
Nangong Lie asked.
"Uh..." Chen Yu scratched his head, "It's just a little bit famous, not worth mentioning."
Nangong Lie smiled and said, "Young man, you have ideas and courage, not bad."
Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Lord City Lord."
Nangong Lie put away his smile and turned serious. "I came to you today to ask for a favor."
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the dignified city lord actually has something to ask of him?
This is incredible!
"Please speak, Lord City Lord." Chen Yu said.
"It's like this," Nangong Lie said in a deep and powerful voice, "I recently received news that an ancient artifact appeared in the Demon Realm."
Chen Yu blinked. Ancient artifact? This sounded like something was going to happen.
Nangong Lie continued, "This artifact is called the 'Chaos Bell' and is said to have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
If it falls into the hands of evil forces, the consequences will be disastrous."
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. Destroying heaven and earth? This was no joke.
Nangong Lie stood up from his seat, walked in front of Chen Yu, and stared at him with burning eyes.
"I hope you can go to the Demon Realm, find this artifact, and bring it back."
Chen Yu was stunned. He pointed at himself with an incredible expression on his face.
"Me? Lord City Lord, are you sure? I'm just a small immortal cultivation anchor. For something as important as saving the world, you should go find those highly skilled immortals!"
Nangong Lie sighed and said, "I want to, but the immortal world is seriously injured right now, and those immortal masters are all in seclusion to heal their wounds, so they can't spare any manpower.
The Demon Realm has vanished, and the demon race is isolated from the world. Only you possess the ability to traverse these realms, and only you can complete this mission."
Chen Yu then remembered that he had a system that could travel to different interfaces.
However, he had only heard of the Demon Realm in novels. It was said to be full of monsters and extremely dangerous. Wouldn't he be walking into a tiger's mouth if he went there?
"Lord City Lord, this mission is too dangerous. I'm afraid..." Chen Yu wanted to refuse.
Nangong Lie interrupted him and said, "I know this is dangerous, but it concerns the lives of all people in the world. I can only ask you for help."
He pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Chen Yu. "This jade pendant is my token of trust. With it, you can mobilize all the resources of Luoxia City."
Chen Yu looked at the jade pendant in his hand; the cool touch made him sober up a little.
He understood that he could no longer shirk this matter.
"Okay, Lord City Lord, I promise you." Chen Yu took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
Nangong Lie patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you are responsible!
I will send someone to assist you. If you need anything, just let me know."
Chen Yu thought, since I have agreed, I can only go ahead with it.
He returned to the well and told the members of "Chen Yu Xiuxian Live Broadcast Team" about what happened.
After hearing this, Lin Qingxue frowned slightly and said, "The demon realm is dangerous, you must be careful."
Liu Ruyan said excitedly, "Demon Realm? Great, great! I've wanted to go see it for a long time!"
Huayu, Shuiling'er and Qingqing also expressed their willingness to go with Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was deeply moved when he saw these women who were willing to share the joys and sorrows with him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you." Chen Yu said.
He turned to look at Mo Xie and said, "Master Demon, you are quite familiar with the Demon Realm, so please come with us this time."
Mo Xie opened her eyes, glanced at Chen Yu calmly, and said, "Okay."
Chen Yu was overjoyed. With the addition of the Demon Lord, their chances of winning increased.
He pulled his phone out of his storage bag, opened the live streaming platform, and said to the camera, "Everyone, I have good news for you. We, the 'Chen Yu Xiuxian Live Streaming Team,' are about to embark on an expedition to the Demon Realm to search for an ancient artifact!
If you want to see the scenery of the demon realm and how we fight the demons, please pay attention to my live broadcast room. Don’t miss the wonderful content! "
When the audience in the live broadcast room heard the news, they were immediately excited.
"Holy crap, the host is going to the demon realm? This is too exciting!"
"Looking forward to the host's battle with the monsters!"
"The anchor must pay attention to safety!"
The barrage of comments filled the screen like snowflakes. Chen Yu was delighted as he watched the popularity continue to rise.
He knew that this trip to the Demon Realm would be a thrilling adventure and a wonderful live broadcast feast.
Chen Yu put away his phone and said to everyone, "Okay, let's get ready to go!"
The group left Luoxia City in a mighty procession and headed towards the demon realm.
