Chapter 394 Submitting the Task

After a twist of light and shadow, Lu Yu walked out of the teleportation array.

After spending two full hours, he returned to the Xuanhong Hall of Langya Peak.

As before, his arrival quickly caused a sensation.

"Lu Shen is back!"

"So soon? Didn't he take a mission to kill the King of Heavenly Prison last time?"

"Haha, I've said it before, he will be back soon..."

"It seems that even Lu Shen can't avoid making mistakes. How can a Tianjia-level mission be completed so easily?"

"How many merits will be deducted for mission failure? One hundred thousand?"

"Tsk tsk, if I had known this, Lu Shen would have stayed at Yudie Peak to refine pills. This is really a loss!"

...

At this time, only one day had passed since the King of Heavenly Prison was eliminated. The disciples who participated in the battle were busy partying and hungover, and the news had not spread, so many people couldn't help but gloat.

However, there were still some well-informed disciples who quickly revealed the truth.

"Have you guys not heard the news from the Heavenly Prison battlefield yet?"

"Really, you actually have the nerve to laugh at Lu Shen here, it's simply a joke!"

"Just yesterday, the King of the Heavenly Prison was eliminated, and the first person to do the work was Jiang Feiyan, a true disciple of our Dali Sword Sect! And Lu Shen and another disciple of the Bixiao Palace were the ones who assisted!"

"Moreover, this feat was completed in the fourth area of ​​the Heavenly Prison battlefield!"

...

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as this news was revealed, the scene immediately exploded.

"What? The King of Heavenly Prison has been eliminated?"

"Still in the fourth area?"

"So, Lu Shen's mission has been completed?"

"That's a Tianjia-level mission! A full 200,000 merits!"

"For a mission like this, others would take at least a year and a half. If they are unlucky, it is common to spend three to five years... But Lu Shen actually took less than a month to complete it!"

"Woo woo woo, it's the same month, others got 200,000 merits, but I didn't even get 2,000..."

"Lu Shen is Lu Shen, he is still as strong as ever!"

"This can't be true? This can't be true?"

"Is the news accurate? Is there a misunderstanding?"

"How long has the King of Heavenly Prison survived on the battlefield of Heavenly Prison? He has always been safe and sound. How could he be eliminated suddenly?"

...

Lu Yu ignored the discussions of the people around him, walked straight into Xuanhong Hall, came to the task handover area, and took out the green Tianjia-level task card.

This immediately stopped all the voices of doubt. The green task card was undoubtedly the best proof that he had indeed completed the Tianjia-level task.

At this time, the person in charge of the board was still the old man who had issued the task to Lu Yu before. Lu Yu paid attention to the identity card posted on the wall and finally knew that his name was Zuo Liangfang, and his identity was an elder.

"Elder Zuo, I'm back."

Lu Yu smiled and greeted him, and then respectfully presented the green-glowing task card.

Zuo Liangfang nodded slightly, took the task card casually, and showed an approving look in his eyes.

"Young people are really courageous and do things vigorously. You submitted the task so quickly. I like to deal with young people like you... It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer young people like you nowadays..."

Zuo Liangfang sighed while holding the Tianjia-level task card in his hand and weighing it for a few times.

"Very good, the Tianjia-level mission, killing the King of the Heavenly Prison, has been confirmed to be completed! Give me your identity badge!"

So Lu Yu obediently presented his badge.

Zuo Liangfang took the badge and threw it and the mission token into the formation device next to him. Suddenly, a burst of light and shadow swirled, and a long string of numbers appeared.

The string of numbers changed rapidly and finally settled at 827,400. Of course, there was a very conspicuous "negative" in front.

This number immediately caused the people around to exclaim. They had never seen anyone who could have so many merits, even if it was negative.

Not to mention them, even Zuo Liangfang, who had been in charge of Xuanhong Hall for many years, had never seen such a shocking number.

"It seems that you still need to work harder!" Zuo Liangfang pinched his beard and sighed.

Lu Yu couldn't help but look tangled, and sighed: "Who said it wasn't..."

Zuo Liangfang returned the identity badge to Lu Yu and asked: "Do you want to continue to accept tasks next?"

"This... I'd better not accept it for now. I just finished a trip to the Tianyu battlefield. I'd better stop for a while!" Lu Yu said.

Zuo Liangfang nodded: "It's better to rest for a few days first!"

So Lu Yu said goodbye and left. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, hesitated for a moment, and took out the "God's Shadow Without Trace" talisman surrounded by purple light.

"Thanks to Elder Zuo's kindness, I didn't use this item in the process of killing the King of Heavenly Prison this time, so let's return it to its original owner first!"

To be honest, Lu Yu was really reluctant to take this item out, and when Zuo Liangcai gave him this talisman, he didn't ask him to return it.

But from the style and manners of this Elder Zuo, he is obviously not an ordinary elder. Since he can casually take out a "God's Shadow Without Trace" to give to others, he must be able to take out other more powerful treasures. So from a long-term perspective, Lu Yu thinks it is still necessary to have a good relationship with him.

Even if he can't get any actual benefits, as long as he "takes care" of himself a little more when issuing tasks, and leaves a few of those tasks with less work and more divisions for himself, wouldn't it be better than doing anything else?

It was with this in mind that Lu Yu took the initiative to return the magic to him, just to leave a good impression on him.

"Oh? You didn't use it? It's rare that you are thoughtful. This can save a lot of expenses for Xuanhongtang. Just put it here..."

Zuo Liangcai sat in the distance and said calmly.

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why was this different from what he expected?

Shouldn't he see that he has good character and insist on giving this thing to him, or even directly take out a higher treasure to reward him?

He actually sat there without any expression? He didn't even tell me about the task and assigned me a few good ones...

"Goodbye..."

Lu Yu felt that he was really adding unnecessary details and asking for trouble, but unfortunately there was no way. Words spoken were like water spilled, and the fruits he planted could only be swallowed no matter how bitter and astringent they were.

Fortunately, he returned with a full load from this trip to the Heavenly Prison battlefield. Not only did he earn 200,000 merits, he also got more than 20 original crystal cores, and even the matter of finding his mother's whereabouts had some clues...

Compared to that, the gains and losses of a talisman were harmless.

Lu Yu comforted himself in his heart, ignoring the discussions of others, and walked out of Xuanhong Hall and headed towards Yudie Peak.

...

Behind him, Zuo Liangcai looked at Lu Yu's back as he disappeared outside the door, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Should that mission... be given to this kid to complete?"
