Dawn is approaching.

Lord Jie led his group back to Liuyun Town.

At this time.

Two soldiers clad in blue armor were guarding the gate. Their eyes were sharp, and their aura was sharp and menacing, like two unsheathed War Blade! Behind them were two Shuofeng Wolf serving as their tamers, and judging from their appearance, they were not ordinary soldiers.

Sudden--

They quickly spotted Lord Jie and his entourage approaching, their eyes lighting up with immense joy. They swiftly flew towards the group, the leader bowing and saying, "Lord Jie!"

"What, it's you Nisan!" Lord Jie was clearly surprised to see so many familiar faces here. "Where's Tam, who's on duty today?"

"Hehe!" Nisan said with a laugh, "He went to pick up girls today, let's switch shifts with him!"

"How was your harvest today?" Seeing that Lord Jie seemed determined to get to the bottom of things, Nisan quickly changed the subject.

"You little rascal!" Lord Jie laughed and scolded, "The harvest was quite substantial, but the entire hunting team almost perished there!" As he spoke, he patted his chest, still quite shaken.

Seeing that Nisan was about to continue asking questions, Lord Jie quickly interrupted the spellcasting, "I'll go report the situation to Mingluo first! By the way, you take charge of making arrangements for this traveler, 'Lord An.' If it weren't for him, our entire hunting party would have suffered heavy casualties!" Lord Jie patted Nisan on the shoulder and said.

Nisan frowned slightly upon hearing this. He turned to look at Lu Yan'an, but upon looking at him, he suddenly realized that he couldn't sense any energy aura from Lu Yan'an! Immediately, with a thought, invisible Spiritual Force spread out and instantly enveloped Lu Yan'an!

Lu Yan'an didn't make any extra movements, only glancing at him lightly.

"Boom! Boom!"

Nisan felt as if his mind had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he was completely stunned, instantly falling into a state of "drunkenness"!

At the same moment, Lu Yan'an looked away, and Nisan gradually recovered from his "drunken" state. The next moment, when he looked at Lu Yan'an again, he broke out in a cold sweat!

Lord Jie, standing nearby, was completely unaware of all this. Seeing that Nisan seemed somewhat out of sorts, he reminded him again, "Hurry up and go!"

"Understood!" Nisan replied somewhat nervously, then looked at Lu Yan'an, "Lord An, please come with me!" After saying that, he whispered a few words to his companion on duty next to him, and then led Lu Yan'an into the town.

After a journey of about ten minutes, Nisan led Lu Yan'an to a secluded little building. "This is the guesthouse of our Liuyun Town. Please stay here for the night and rest. Lord Jie will come to find you after he has finished reporting the situation to Mingluo!"

After saying that, he didn't dare to linger for a moment and ran back as fast as he could!

Seeing this Lu Yan'an chuckled, "Little guy, don't be so reckless in using your Spiritual Force to scan others in the future. Remember this lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Nisan, who was running wildly, paused, slowly turned around, nodded solemnly to Lu Yan'an, and then, as if letting out a sigh of relief, continued to run like the wind!

Lu Yan'an smiled and shook his head, then turned and started going upstairs.

Three hours later.

"Lord An, Mingluo requests your presence! Please follow me." Lord Jie arrived at the guesthouse, travel-worn, and addressed Lu Yan'an.

He was also somewhat puzzled. When he reported, Mingluo seemed very interested in this traveler and insisted on meeting him in person.

Lu Yan'an remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, but finally nodded. "Then please lead the way!" He also wanted to consult this powerful native World Lord from Mingguang Star about the Aurora Statue and the Aurora Tower.

Lord Jie didn't say much and immediately turned to lead the way. Before arriving at Liuyun Town, the two sides had already had a trial exchange, but given that both sides were old foxes, their understanding of each other was limited. The fact that the strongest person in the encampment insisted on meeting Lu Yan'an was also partly due to a trial attitude.

The two remained silent the entire way.

Lord Jie led Lu Yan'an to a rather magnificent palace in the town center. After going through several checks, Lu Yan'an took Lu Lord Jie to the most impressive room in the center of the palace, which was also the office of Mingluo, a "Haoyang Level" expert.

"Please come in!" A gentle voice came from inside the room as Lord Jie gently knocked on the door.

After receiving permission, Lord Jie tiptoed into the room and gestured for those behind him to follow.

The room was small and surprisingly simple, a stark contrast to the opulent decor of the outside.

Upon seeing Lord Jie bring Lu Yan'an in, the person who had been working with his head bowed at the desk finally raised his head.

Those were a pair of vast and deep eyes, amber pupils that seemed to imprint everything around them deeply, making them unforgettable at first glance! Shoulder-length purple hair was loosely draped, exuding an elegant and unrestrained temperament! And on the clan mark on his forehead was a bright blue teardrop mark, a sign that he had been recognized by the Water Origin Law!

"You've arrived?" Mingluo smiled slightly. "Xiao Jie, I need to have a proper talk with this friend now. Please close the door behind you when you leave."

"Also, please don't let anyone else in while we're discussing things!"

Lord Jie pursed his lips, walked out of the office with a helpless expression, and closed the door behind him. Clearly, he understood Mingluo's intention to get rid of them.

"Alright, the rest of you have left! Now let's get down to business, Your Highness from beyond the heavens!" Mingluo's tone was incredibly gentle, but what he said almost made Lu Yan'an pack up his ship and run away! And most importantly, this guy used the Universal Language!

But his years of experience weren't fake! Lu Yan'an forcibly controlled his emotions and, speaking in a thick dialect, replied in a calm yet questioning tone, "What are you saying? I don't understand!"

"Don't understand? No problem! You'll understand soon enough." Mingluo smiled mysteriously and continued in the Universal Language, "In the past, there have been princes from beyond the heavens who came to our planet, but their disguises were far inferior to yours!"

"But do you know where your biggest mistake lies?" Seeing that Lu Yan'an still looked clueless, Mingluo continued without caring, "Right now, all the geniuses in my Aurora Race are studying the Aurora Statue and conquering the Aurora Tower. There can't be any so-called wanderers, especially not someone like you who can defeat a Sun-level being with the Haoyue Level Lieri Level!"

Upon hearing the terms "Aurora Statue" and "Aurora Tower," Lu Yan'an immediately changed from his previous bewildered expression and said to Mingluo with a rather solemn tone, "I see, I've learned something!"

He had been quite puzzled as to why Mingluo could see through his true identity so quickly. It turned out that there was a problem with the fabricated background.

However, there was no need to continue pretending at this point, especially since the initiative had already been lost. Continuing to act would only make him a laughingstock! Moreover, with the Lord Shen's spaceship in hand, he believed that even the powerful World Lord before him would not be able to stop him!

"Actually, Your Highness, your disguise is incredibly powerful. If it weren't for the information gap, your disguise would be flawless!" Mingluo exclaimed. If he hadn't already advanced to the Haoyang Level and learned some of the clan's secrets, he probably would have been fooled by Lu Yan'an as well.

"So just say what you want to say! Don't beat around the bush, it's pointless." Lu Yan'an said somewhat indifferently. Hearing Mingluo praising him so much, he had a pretty good idea that Mingluo Luo probably wanted his help!

To everyone's surprise, Mingluo's attitude did not change upon hearing Lu Yan'an's rather indifferent words. He continued with his usual roundabout questioning style, asking in a rather serious tone, "Your Highness, have you heard of the Aurora Statue and Aurora Tower of my Aurora Race?"
