Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Lu Yuan walked forward and around the screen, only to see a woman in gorgeous palace clothing sitting on a golden throne. She had a beautiful face and noble temperament. She was the eldest princess of Wei.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I have long heard of your great name." The eldest princess smiled slightly, her voice clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Lu Yuan said with a bow.

"You are welcome, sir. Please take a seat." The princess pointed to a seat nearby.

Lu Yuan sat down as he was told.

"I heard that the young master had a fierce battle with the Blood Demon Ancestor recently and was seriously injured. I wonder how his injury is now?" the eldest princess asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm fine." Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Young Master is truly a hero. He was able to defeat the Blood Demon Ancestor by himself. It is really admirable." A gleam of light flashed in the eldest princess' eyes.

"Princess, you are too kind. It was just luck." Lu Yuan said modestly.

"Sir, there is no need to be modest. Your strength is obvious to all." The princess smiled slightly, "I invited you here today because I want to ask you for a favor."

"Princess, please speak." Lu Yuan said.

The princess paused, her face becoming somewhat serious: "To be honest, I have recently run into some troubles and need the help of a powerful master. I wonder if you are willing to lend a hand?"

Lu Yuan's heart moved. It seemed that this was the real purpose of the eldest princess inviting him here.

"I wonder what trouble the princess has encountered?" Lu Yuan asked.

The princess sighed and said, "Recently, a mysterious group of forces have appeared on the border of our country. They are powerful and cruel, and have captured several cities in our country. I have sent several masters to eliminate them, but they all returned in vain, and several masters even died unfortunately."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself: Where does this mysterious force come from? How can it be so powerful?

"Young Master, I know that you are very powerful, so I would like to ask for your help to eliminate this group of mysterious forces and defend our territory." The eldest princess looked at Lu Yuan sincerely.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, thinking to himself: This is a good opportunity. He is now seriously injured and urgently needs a safe place to heal. This palace is a good choice. Moreover, if he can help Wei State to eliminate this mysterious force, it can be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace of the Princess of Wei State.

"Okay, I promise you." Lu Yuan nodded and agreed to the eldest princess' request.

The princess was overjoyed when she heard this and said quickly, "Thank you very much, young master! I will never forget your kindness!"

"Princess, you're welcome." Lu Yuan said calmly, "Where is this mysterious force?"

"They are currently occupying a mountain stronghold called Black Wind Ridge on the border of our country." The princess said, "Sir, I have prepared everything for you. You can set off at any time."

Lu Yuan nodded, stood up and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."

"Young Master, please wait a moment." The eldest princess suddenly called Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at the eldest princess in confusion.

The princess walked up to Lu Yuan, took out a jade pendant from her bosom, handed it to Lu Yuan, and said, "Sir, take this jade pendant. It can prove your identity and facilitate your actions."

Lu Yuan took the jade pendant, which was warm to the touch and exuded a faint fragrance. "Thank you, Princess." Lu Yuan put the jade pendant away, then turned and left the palace.

Looking at Lu Yuan's back, the eldest princess showed a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of her mouth...

Lu Yuan took the jade pendant and felt it was cold. The jade was fine and carved into an eagle with wings spread out, which was lifelike. He glanced at it casually and put it in his arms. In his eyes, the princess's "gratitude" was just some insignificant polite words. He was more interested in this so-called "mysterious force". He was invincible and had long been tired of monotonous victories. He longed for new challenges and the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

"Your Highness," Lu Yuan paused, a playful smile on his face, "What is the story behind this Black Wind Ridge?"

The princess obviously didn't expect Lu Yuan to ask this out of the blue. She was stunned for a moment before she said softly, "The Black Wind Ridge is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is also shrouded in black fog all year round, with monsters running rampant, making it extremely dangerous. Most of the masters we sent there before..." She paused, as if she couldn't bear to continue, "all died in the black fog."

"Oh? Monster?" Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement, but his tone remained calm, "It sounds interesting."

Seeing that Lu Yuan did not seem to be scared away, the princess was secretly delighted and continued, "Sir, you must be extremely careful on this trip. I have prepared excellent elixirs and sophisticated weapons, and I hope you will accept them."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "No need. Why do we need these external objects to deal with a mere monster?"

The princess despised Lu Yuan even more after hearing this. She originally thought that Lu Yuan would be happy to accept it, after all, those elixirs and sophisticated weapons were priceless. She didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so arrogant. It seems that the rumors are not entirely credible.

Lu Yuan naturally noticed the change in the princess's expression, but he didn't care. He turned around and walked out of the palace with steady steps.

After leaving the palace, Lu Yuan did not go directly to Black Wind Ridge. He strolled around the garden and came to a restaurant. After being invincible for a long time, it was a different feeling to experience the life of a mortal occasionally.

"Waiter, bring the wine!" Lu Yuan found a corner and sat down, shouting loudly.

"Okay! Sir, what kind of wine would you like?" the waiter ran over and asked attentively.

"The most intense!" Lu Yuan said proudly.

Soon, the waiter brought a jar of wine, the aroma of the wine was so fragrant that it made people feel drunk. Lu Yuan picked up the jar, tilted his head back and took a sip. The spicy wine flowed down his throat into his stomach, and a warm current instantly spread throughout his body.

"Good wine!" Lu Yuan exclaimed.

While drinking, he listened to the diners around him talking about recent events.

"Have you heard? The border has been in turmoil recently. It seems a mysterious group of forces has appeared, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil!"

"That's right! I heard that even the masters sent by the court couldn't do anything to them!"

"Alas! I don't know when peace will come!"

Listening to these discussions, Lu Yuan sneered. It seems that this mysterious force has caused panic among many people.

"Waiter, give me another jar!" Lu Yuan shouted again.

He drank three jars of strong liquor in one breath, but he was not drunk at all. For a strong man like him, the anesthetic effect of alcohol was minimal.

At this time, several men in black clothes with stern faces walked into the restaurant. They exuded a murderous aura that made people shudder. (End of this chapter)
