87: Emperor Zulong

“Are you really going to be enemies with our Crown Prince Gang?”

Nangong Yu continued to ask.

“I am unwilling to be an enemy with anyone. If you want to cause trouble, then I naturally will not back down.”

Li Changkong just smiled faintly and asked.

“Why don’t we leave first? There are other things to do back home, so there’s no need to continue wasting time here.”

Perceiving the tension between the two, Hou Wen immediately interrupted their confrontation.

Before Li Changkong could finish a sentence, Hou Wen hurriedly pulled him away.

Nangong Yu watched their retreating figures, the chill in his eyes already very apparent.

“My dear sir, why did you provoke him when you had nothing better to do? That guy is not someone easy to provoke.”

As soon as they returned to the dormitory, Hou Wen said with a helpless expression.

“Either I become his dog and join his Gang, or I refuse. Do I have a third option?”

Facing the anxious Hou Wen, Li Changkong appeared particularly clear-headed.

In the following period, Li Changkong’s name became increasingly well-known within the school.

But Li Changkong never cared about these false reputations.

In his opinion, these false reputations not only couldn’t bring him any benefits but might even bring a lot of trouble.

So, during these past few days, he was mostly immersed in Cultivating skills.

As for the progress of that mission, it was still a complete mystery at the moment.

The mission brief itself was very simple regarding the introduction of that mission.

Li Changkong had no idea where to start, and he could only start from the Zulong Emperor.

So, for these many days, besides Training, Li Changkong dedicated his time to collecting information.

A large amount of information was laid out before him, and he finally found some clues within these materials.

First, that Zulong Emperor should have been an emperor of this world four thousand years ago, who once completed the great unification of this world.

Besides these achievements, he was most famous for the mausoleum he built for himself.

The mausoleum he built was called the Heavenly Tomb, and it was said to cover tens of thousands of square meters.

And within the Heavenly Tomb, there was almost no difference from the outside world, with sun, moon, and stars.

Regarding this point, Li Changkong understood that the place where the Zulong Emperor resided should be a Small World.

Because within a Small World, there are heavens, earth, and stars, almost indistinguishable from the outside world.

And when he was about to die, he took his most elite three thousand soldiers into the mausoleum.

After the mausoleum was sealed, these three thousand soldiers also died simultaneously within the mausoleum through some strange ritual.

And within that mausoleum, there were numerous traps.

For thousands of years, countless tomb raiders had set their sights on that mausoleum, but they couldn't even get close.

Li Changkong had only collected this much information about the Zulong Emperor.

After the game world descended, that mausoleum naturally fell into a state of being sealed off.

It had already reached a time of human crisis, so they naturally wouldn't pay attention to these things.

After reading everything, Li Changkong seemed to have found a small direction.

The location of the Dragon’s mausoleum was Changtian City.

Since he had found such a clue, Li Changkong prepared to head to Changtian City first.

This matter could not wait; if the mission failed, the punishment would be annihilation.

If he delayed even a little, it might lead to the failure of the entire mission.

At that time, the trouble he would face would be more than just a little.

Having made up his mind, Li Changkong first arrived at the capital’s teleportation plaza.

Within the entire teleportation plaza, there were hundreds of teleportation arrays.

These teleportation arrays varied in size, and their teleportation distances naturally differed.

Now, if one wanted to travel to another place, the teleportation array was the most convenient method.

Changtian City, in the past, could be considered a super city.

After the game world descended, Changtian City fell extremely quickly.

The city, which originally had over twenty million people, had now become a city of two million people.

Four-fifths of its vast territory had been occupied by monsters.

If only considering strength, Changtian City was even slightly inferior to Nanhai City.

“Although the Crown Prince’s reputation is very loud, he himself is a petty person. Few of those who provoked him in the past ended up well.”

Hou Wen explained, also worried that Li Changkong had provoked too many enemies.

But Li Changkong also understood that a prominent tree in the forest is bound to be destroyed by the wind; this was not something he could decide.

The other party approached him precisely because they valued his strength and wanted to recruit him.

If it weren't for today's incident, he would certainly still consider him an enemy.

It was with this thought that Li Changkong confronted him.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Li Changkong merely said indifferently.

Li Changkong no longer cared about such an enemy.

Now, all he could think about was the new mission he had received.

He glanced at the contribution token in his hand; the one hundred thousand contribution points had already arrived.

These full one hundred thousand contribution points were enough for Li Changkong to live in the Training Room.

He didn’t say much and quickly rushed back to the Training Room.

…

“Didn’t recruit him?”

The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Yu, clearly surprised.

“That guy is impervious to reason, but Father, why do you want to recruit him?”

“I don’t know what method he used to pass the Black Tower this time; his own strength isn’t strong.”

Nangong Yu looked at his father and explained.

“Whether that person is strong or not has nothing to do with me. I just feel that he resembles an old friend of mine.”

“However, that old friend died many years ago. I want to know what relationship he has with my old friend.”

Nangong Tianxia, in a purple robe, slowly spoke.

Although he spoke of a friend, his tone was full of hatred.

He wore a mask on his head, completely covering his face.

“He’s just a poor kid from the countryside, not worth our attention.”

“If you wish, Father, I can even immediately send someone to deal with him.”

Nangong Yu looked at Li Changkong, trying hard to show himself off.

But until now, Nangong Tianxia had not looked at him directly even once.

“Anyway, keep investigating for me. Report all his information to me, no matter how trivial.”

After Nangong Tianxia finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Seeing his father’s appearance, Nangong Yu timidly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
