Chapter 441 The Importance Of An Ancient Dragon
On the stage, Jiang Lengyue’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Lu Yu in disbelief.
“What did you just say? Was that… created by the Death Spirit Dragon?”
“That’s impossible. Didn’t you seal it? ”
“I did seal it,” Lu Yu quickly explained. “But it’s still in my body. It can still channel its energy through my body.”
“Is that so… so you’re saying that it’s been sealed, and there’s no possibility of it appearing again, right?”
Jiang Lengyue asked nervously, as she was terrified of facing the Death Spirit Dragon again, especially at this critical juncture. If the dragon were to appear again, the losses would be astronomical!
Lu Yu nodded. “That’s right. It won’t appear again. Trust me.”
As for the Death Spirit Dragon taking over his body, he didn’t intend to reveal it. If he did, it would only cause unnecessary panic.
Regardless, he had to speed up his search for the Death Spirit Dragon’s body. He had to find its body to save himself…
Jiang Lengyue looked at the crowd and spoke loudly, “The ceremony will continue. There was a small incident just now, but I hope you don’t panic. I will ensure your safety.”
In the previous few seconds, all of them had been unable to control their bodies. This situation had brought them great panic.
They could not guarantee their own safety, and these businessmen treasured their lives more than anyone else. It was already surprising that they stayed seated and didn’t flee.
After Jiang Lengyue’s rea.s.suring words, the audience finally calmed down.
“Lu Yu, the ceremony will continue.”
She was about to put the medal on Lu Yu again as she spoke.
However, Lu Yu suddenly reached out and took the medal from her, wearing it on his chest.
“Alright, the award ceremony is over. Is there anything else?”
Jiang Lengyue stared at Lu Yu with surprise, as she could hear the impatience in Lu Yu’s tone. In fact, she felt that Lu Yu seemed to have changed into another person after the incident, no longer as calm and steady as before.
Lu Yu was indeed getting impatient, especially after his aunt was attacked. He wanted to end the ceremony as soon as possible and check on his aunt’s injuries.
“It’s done now, but the ceremony isn’t over yet.”
After Jiang Lengyue finished speaking, rumbling sounds rang out from behind her. Four gigantic stone pillars slowly rose as though they were uprooting themselves from the ground.
The four stone pillars rose completely, each of them nearly ten meters tall.
There were exquisite patterns carved on the stone pillars, and he saw that there was a human figure carved into each of the pillars.
Each was a carving of an old man.
There was a buzzing sound at this moment, and four light screens appeared in front of the four pillars. The light screens flashed constantly, and finally, a human face appeared.
The four light screens showed four human faces, each an image of a kind old man.
These four screens were like a huge video conference.
Lu Yu turned around, looked at the four people in front of him blankly, and wondered what was happening.
“These four man…”
“These four are the elders of the upper house’s meeting hall and also the ones who set the rules of the upper house. The four elders were once the deans of the upper house and had made great contributions to the upper house.”
“For example, the rules for the hero medal were set by the previous elders and have been respected until now.”
After hearing her explanation, Lu Yu finally came to a realization. Jiang Lengyue wasn’t the only person in charge of the upper house; there were still four elders hidden away.
They retreated behind the scenes, and the management of the upper house was handed over to Jiang Lengyue.
However, their authority wasn’t weakened in the slightest, as they were the ones who set the rules of the upper house. Even if Jiang Lengyue was the current dean, the one in charge of the entire upper house, the moment the four elders felt that Jiang Lengyue’s performance wasn’t up to standard, they could remove her from her position and replace her with someone more capable.
The appearance of the four elders not only surprised Lu Yu but also shocked everyone else!
They didn’t expect that the four elders of the upper house would personally tune in to today’s award ceremony.
This was a huge deal.
Everyone became nervous, knowing the elders were here for Lu Yu!
As expected, when the light screen stabilized, the first person the four elders saw was Lu Yu; they were all staring at Lu Yu.
“h.e.l.lo, you must be Lu Yu.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “That’s right. Elders of the council, you must have something to say to me since you’ve come here at this time, right?”
“According to the upper house’s rules, the four of us are supposed to record a video and say something during the hero medal ceremony. However, we are here today live mainly because of you.”
“I can roughly guess that. May I ask why you’re looking for me?”
A bald old man among the four said, “Lu Yu, we all agree with your choice to go to the ancient ruins.”
“But when you get there, you must be careful. There will be many people setting their eyes on you!”
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. “I know. Someone has already set their eyes on me.”
“It’s not just those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Truth Department, but people from other organizations. The video of you sealing the Death Spirit Dragon is now widespread, and anyone who has anything to do with an ancient dragon will become the focus of everyone’s attention.”
“I know. Even so, I have to go to the ancient ruins. I have my reasons.”
Lu Yu thought that if he wanted to help the Death Spirit Dragon find its body, it would be useless to wander around in other normal secret realms. The only secret realm where a dragon could appear was probably in ancient ruins.
All giant dragons had been exterminated long ago, with no survivors. The remaining sub-species weren’t even one-thousandth the strength of a true dragon. Thus, once a true dragon appeared, it would definitely stir up the world!
Therefore, the public was always sensitive to things related to dragons. Once they came across an item related to dragons, even if it were just a dragon scale, it would be regarded as an important treasure.
While they treated things related to dragons as treasures, they also feared true dragons. The appearance of a true dragon would cause panic among the public.
The resurrection of the Death Spirit Dragon and the breaking of its seal shocked everyone, prompting them to make nervous preparations in secret.
At that moment, the bald-headed elder continued, “The first princess of the Lionheart Empire and the son of a mogul from the Stellaris Autonomous Zone will be in the team heading to the ancient ruins. If you encounter these two teams, try not to fight them.”
“Finally, we want to remind you that the ancient dragon bloodline in your body is absolutely rare; many people will be scheming against you.”
