Bishop Osfer

Lu Yuan was naturally a little reluctant to leave after only a few days back, but after all, important matters had to be taken into consideration.

Ferros understood Lu Yuan's decision to leave. After all, in the Douluo Continent, strength is paramount, and with strength comes power. At over sixty years old, he understood this better than anyone else.

So even though he was reluctant to see Lu Yuan leave so soon, Ferros still chose to support him, only constantly reminding Lu Yuan to be careful.

Lu Yuan was naturally very touched by Ferros's concern. He promised Ferros that he would take good care of himself and Hu Liena, and that he would come back to see him whenever he had time.

After bidding farewell to Ferros, the three of them boarded a carriage and headed to the Star Luo Empire.

Notting City is located at the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, and is actually quite close to the Star Luo Empire.

However, the Temple of Life was born in a small city not far from Star Luo City, Senyue City, so Lu Yuan and the others still needed some time to arrive.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, if I remember correctly, Senyue City should not be far from Star Luo City. It is the territory of the Zhu Clan, the dukes of the Star Luo Empire, right?" Lu Yuan asked Golden Crocodile Douluo while sitting in the carriage.

"Hmm!" Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, his voice coming from outside the carriage, "This time, the ruins were first discovered by the Zhu Clan. At the time, the Zhu Clan wanted to keep them for themselves, but later another force in the Star Luo Empire called the Qin Sect discovered them and exposed them, so the entire Star Luo Empire knew about this."

"Our spies in the Star Luo Empire then relayed the message back to the Spirit Hall."

"It was precisely because of the strong demands of our Spirit Hall that the Star Luo Empire was forced to open the ruins to all sects and Soul Master in the Star Luo Empire, which led to this operation."

Lu Yuan nodded. Without a powerful force forcing and pressuring them, how could the Star Luo Empire possibly open up to the outside world an existence like the Ancient Ruins?

"If I'm not mistaken, the Zhu Clan may have already attempted to explore the ruins before the news spread, and the Star Luo Imperial Family must have explored them after the news spread, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying that only those under twenty years old can enter. I think this news was probably obtained by risking lives," Lu Yuan said.

"That's right!" Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded and said, "There really is nothing that can be hidden from you."

"According to the reports from our scouts, anyone over twenty years old who entered the ruins died on the spot, while those under twenty, although they did not obtain anything, returned safely."

Hu Liena, standing to the side, looked at Lu Yuan with stars in her eyes.

My junior brother was so charming just now, he seemed to be radiating light. Ah, my girlish heart is fluttering!

I love this junior brother!

Lu Yuan, of course, didn't notice Hu Liena's gaze. He was still analyzing, "Deaths over twenty years old might have triggered some kind of restriction. Perhaps there's some method at the entrance of the ruins to detect bone age, instantly killing anyone over twenty. But those under twenty return safely, perhaps..."

"Perhaps what?" Hu Liena asked.

"Perhaps the ruins aren't dangerous, or even if you die inside, you might be resurrected outside." Lu Yuan's words startled both Golden Crocodile Douluo and Hu Liena.

"That's impossible!" asked Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"That's not necessarily true!" Lu Yuan smiled faintly. He knew that it was the ruins of the Goddess of Life. The Goddess of Life was the kindest and had great respect for life. Naturally, her ruins could not be too dangerous, and she might not take the lives of those who entered the ruins.

As for those over twenty years old who died on the spot upon entering, Lu Yuan suspected that it was not a method of the Goddess of Life, but more likely a restriction set up by someone to prevent certain people who did not meet the requirements of the Goddess of Life from forcibly entering. It was to prevent certain old immortals from using their age advantage to oppress others, thus defeating the purpose of the selection of relics.

As for who set up this restriction, Lu Yuan had some guesses. After all, the Goddess of Life was not alone; she also had a husband named Destruction. Given his personality, it was perfectly normal for him to set up a restriction to kill a few people.

Golden Crocodile Douluo remained silent. Although what Lu Yuan said was somewhat absurd, Golden Crocodile Douluo had a feeling that perhaps Lu Yuan was not wrong.

Hu Liena did not express her opinion. Although she also found Lu Yuan's words somewhat surprising, since it was Lu Yuan who said them, Hu Liena felt that there must be a reason for them. After all, Lu Yuan was never one to speak without reason.

Hu Liena loves Lu Yuan, she loves him very much. When it comes to understanding Lu Yuan, there is probably no one who understands him better than her, not even Qian Renxue.

After all, they had shared a bed for three years. Ever since she realized she might have fallen in love with Lu Yuan, Hu Liena had devoted all her time to Lu Yuan, except for cultivating her Soul Power.

Hu Liena kept track of Lu Yuan's hobbies and analyzed Lu Yuan personality, remembering almost everything Lu Yuan showed as a liking.

Therefore, since Lu Yuan has given his approval, Hu Liena will naturally express her support.

"Junior brother, I believe in you!" Hu Liena grasped Lu Yuan's hand, her eyes resolute.

Looking at Hu Liena's smiling face, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, gently kissed Hu Liena's red lips, and pulled her into his arms.

Putting everything else aside, Hu Liena's unwavering trust in him truly moved him.

Lying in Lu Yuan's arms, Hu Liena wore a happy smile.

For her, she didn't care what dangers or opportunities lay within the ruins; as long as she could be with her junior brother, she was happy.

Taking a horse-drawn carriage, especially a long-distance one, is a very tiring experience.

Half a month has passed since Lu Yuan and his group set off from Notting City and arrived at Star Luo City.

For half a month, Lu Yuan and his companions endured wind and rain, sometimes setting off before dawn to save time. Even with Lu Yuan's physique, he couldn't help but feel somewhat tired after these two weeks.

Hu Liena, needless to say, is currently fast asleep in Lu Yuan's arms!

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Why did you stop, Grandpa Golden Crocodile?" Lu Yuan asked.

"We've arrived Star Luo City, and the Platinum Bishop Osfer has come to greet us personally. Xiao Yuan, would you like to meet him?" said Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "No need. My identity cannot be exposed yet. There are too many people around here. Let's go directly to the Star Luo Spirit Saint Hall and talk about it there."

His identity is rather sensitive, so it's best not to reveal it for now, otherwise it could have a negative impact on his future actions.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded.

As for whether Osfer would be angry if he didn't see anyone after personally greeting him, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't be bothered to care.

They have one Worship Hall Second Worship, and two Pope disciples, which is far more prestigious than a mere Platinum Bishop.
