Chapter 18: Alliance (third update requesting collection and recommendation)
"Brother Lan Yu, your solo elimination of the Bloodthirsty Thief Guild will soon spread far and wide, making you famous," Zhang Hu said.
When Long Kuang went to submit his task, he was just seen by the members of the Mighty Tiger Adventure Squad, who immediately came over to visit Lan Yu upon hearing the news.
"Brother Zhang Hu, you flatter me. Eliminating a single Bloodthirsty Thief Guild won't make much of a name for me," Lan Yu laughed.
"Brother Lan Yu, you are truly the best among the younger generation. I am genuinely impressed. Look at my children, about the same age as you, but their strength hasn't even reached the Great Martial Artist level, yet you have already become an expert at the Martial God level," Fei Hu said.
Clearly, Lan Yu's identity was no longer a secret. Lan Yu didn't care; after all, he had never thought of hiding his name.
"Indeed, Brother Lan Yu's strength is almost on par with our older generation. Even in the Divine Dragon Empire, he would be one of the outstanding figures among the young generation," Zhang Hu said.
"Both senior brothers, please stop praising me, I'm getting dizzy. Let's drink! Everyone, let's drink!" Lan Yu said.
The atmosphere was lively, everyone toasted each other and quickly became familiar.
Nie Xiaotian, Fei Hu's son, was rather shy and didn't talk much, looking very delicate. Nie Sixia had a pointed face, thin lips, lively eyes, and a spirited demeanor, more fiery like a boy. They were twins, but their personalities seemed somewhat reversed.
Nie Sixia greatly admired Lan Yu, repeatedly asking him to recount the incident of eliminating the Bloodthirsty Thief Guild, which everyone strongly requested. Unable to refuse, Lan Yu briefly recounted the process of annihilating the Bloodthirsty Thief Guild.
"Big Brother Lan Yu is truly amazing!" Nie Sixia said.
"Not really, it's just that the people of the Bloodthirsty Thief Guild were too weak," Lan Yu said.
"Xia and Xiaotian, you should learn more from Brother Lan Yu in the future," Fei Hu said, "Even the things Brother Lan Yu does dare not be done by me."
Fei Hu called Lan Yu brother, while his daughter called Lan Yu big brother, which was quite confusing.
"Mutual learning!" Lan Yu said.
Soon, everyone was well-fed and began talking about serious matters.
"Brother Lan Yu, have you heard of the Treasure Seizer?" Fei Hu asked.
"Yes, I read about him in the continental mission records," Lan Yu said.
The Treasure Seizer was a unique legendary figure before becoming a Celestial Lord. The Treasure Seizer loved collecting various treasures, including divine weapons, rare metals, precious herbs, high-grade magic crystals...
As long as it was valuable, the Treasure Seizer liked it. For this, he plundered countless warehouses of major families, even visiting national treasuries. Later, when he cultivated to the Celestial Lord level, he was titled the Treasure Seizer.
The treasures collected by the Treasure Seizer were countless. Eventually, the Treasure Seizer entered the Tianyuan Mountain Range and never reappeared. Rumors say the Treasure Seizer was eaten by a beast in the deepest part of the Tianyuan Mountain Range, but no one could confirm it.
"Then have you heard of the Treasure Seizer's treasure?" Fei Hu asked.
"No." Lan Yu shook his head.
"The last place the Treasure Seizer appeared was the Tianyuan Mountain Range. It's rumored that all the treasures he plundered were hidden somewhere in the Tianyuan Mountain Range. Moreover, there indeed exists a treasure map," Fei Hu said, "The legend of the Treasure Seizer's treasure is widely spread in the towns surrounding the Tianyuan Mountain Range. The specifics need to be found out once we get there."
"Treasure map?" Lan Yu thought of the two treasure maps he obtained and felt somewhat surprised.
"Correct, the treasure map is divided into multiple parts. Most forces around the Tianyuan Mountain Range possess several pieces. Combining them into a complete map isn't just one, and distinguishing between real and fake ones is difficult," Zhang Hu said, "Combining the treasure maps of the Fei Hu Mercenary Group and ours can form a complete map."
"Oh? Then what do both senior brothers mean..." Lan Yu asked.
"Brother Lan Yu's strength is evident to all. We want to invite Brother Lan Yu to join us. In the future, our three parties will cooperate to search for treasures together," Fei Hu said, "As far as I know, several forces in the Tian Yuan Town possess complete treasure maps. And those powerful thief guilds must also have treasure maps. There will definitely be fierce competition. Whether Brother Lan Yu wants to join or not, please consider carefully before answering us."
Zhang Hu said, "The treasure will open in a year. This time, not only local forces are competing, but also major powers from nearby countries are sending people. The struggle will definitely be intense. More people won't help much; it mainly depends on the number of experts. Fei Hu and I plan to recruit more experts to form an alliance."
"I've made my decision, let's work together sincerely!" Lan Yu said. Lan Yu originally came out to train, so he wouldn't miss this rare opportunity.
Of course, Lan Yu carefully considered. The kingdoms surrounding the Tianyuan Mountain Range were similar to the Tianlong Kingdom, where Martial Sage-level experts were extremely rare. Plus, the rumors about the treasure couldn't be confirmed, so it was less likely that Martial Sage-level experts would come to compete for the treasure. With Lan Yu's strength, self-preservation would be more than enough.
"Brother Lan Yu, are you sure?" Fei Hu and others couldn't believe that Lan Yu agreed so easily.
"Of course! How can I refuse since both senior brothers look up to me!" Lan Yu laughed.
"Great! With Brother Lan Yu joining, our strength has become even stronger." Fei Hu was delighted.
Lan Yu's actual strength was still unknown, but he could eliminate the Bloodthirsty Thief Guild on Mount Malai without any damage, proving his strength wasn't weak. Adding his magical pet Golden Knife Praying Mantis, Lan Yu's strength was undoubtedly top-notch among Martial Saints.
"Brother Lan Yu, then it's settled. We'll notify you in advance before departure," Zhang Hu said.
"Alright!"
"Brother Lan Yu, you killed Tian Huo. Be extra careful in the future. Tian Yu's strength is formidable and hard to deal with. He must have known that you killed Tian Huo by now. With many followers under him, they might already be watching you," Zhang Hu warned.
"Thank you for reminding me, Big Brother Zhang Hu. I'll be mindful," Lan Yu said.
"Brother Lan Yu, we'll take our leave then," Fei Hu said.
"Big Brother Lan Yu, I'll come see you in the future," Nie Sixia said before leaving.
Soon, Fei Hu and others left.
"Little Yu, you have quite the charm," Lan Feng laughed.
"Sister Eight, don't talk nonsense," Lan Yu returned to his room.
"Little Yu, ha ha... Didn't expect you to be so shy!" Lan Feng laughed as if discovering a new continent.
