The Town's Contempt

The population density in the town was very low.

It took ages just to run into a few people.

Five hundred million people scattered across one Origin Square made for an exceedingly sparse density.

"It really is hard to see people normally. Everyone is cultivating, hunting, treasure-seeking, and so on. But every ten thousand Yan Epochs, the town holds a market fair. That is when there are more people, and many treasures are traded," Gu Yu said.

Han Yuan nodded in understanding. It seemed they had come at the wrong time; there were pitifully few people in town.

The two arrived at a government office bearing the words "Military Intelligence Department"!

"Wait at the entrance for a while. I'll go in and come right back out!" Gu Yu said.

"Alright!"

Han Yuan nodded.

With a grave expression, Gu Yu entered the Military Intelligence Department.

Two years later, Gu Yu finally came out, with an additional command token in his hand.

His expression did not look very good.

"How did it go?" Han Yuan asked.

Gu Yu sighed. "The people from the Military Intelligence Department did not consider it important enough. They will only allow us to invite one peak squad to investigate!"

"A peak squad? What is its strength composition?" Han Yuan asked with apparent concern.

"One Origin Dao Realm peak cultivator, two late Origin Dao Realm cultivators, and four to six mid Origin Dao Realm cultivators." Gu Yu's expression eased slightly. "At least there is one Origin Dao Realm peak cultivator. Dealing with that Lord-class Source Devouring Beast should not be a problem!"

Han Yuan's expression shifted slightly, and he said in relief, "That's good!"

The two then arrived at another government office, bearing the words "War Preparedness Department"!

This time, Han Yuan was allowed to enter with him.
