Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Dongming Canyon
Chen Yu’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed; he had never heard of this place before.
Looking at the marked location on the map, it should be in the northwest desert.
How could there possibly be a valley in such a desolate area?
Just as he was perplexed, the relevant personnel had already arrived at the scene and took away those who had fainted.
“Mr. Chen, are you alright?”
Most of these people recognized Chen Yu, so naturally, they didn’t treat him like a bad person.
Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively and didn’t say much, just took his boarding pass and hurried to the boarding gate.
But just as he was about to leave, his phone suddenly rang.
“Son-in-law, have you received the invitation from Dongming Valley yet?”
Chen Yu was taken aback, “Was the invitation sent by you?”
The voice of Tong Ming sounded very grave, “I don’t have that qualification, but that place is the entrance to a mysterious organization in the East. You can go check it out, and by the way, compare it with the Knights of the Round Table.”
Chen Yu felt somewhat bewildered; he had heard from Tong Ming before that there were many organizations in the world like the Knights of the Round Table.
He didn’t expect to receive an invitation from another organization so soon.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu cancelled his previous plane ticket and exchanged it for one to the northwest.
On the map of the northwest, no matter what, Dongming Valley could not be found.
Even the place marked on the map was an endless desert; looking for a valley in such an area seemed like a fool’s errand.
After getting off the airplane, Chen Yu immediately bought an off-road vehicle from a nearby dealership and headed straight for the northwest desert.
Following the map’s directions, he drove for an entire day before finally arriving at a small town.
This place was extremely remote; if it weren’t for the markings on the map, it would probably be impossible to find.
Chen Yu found an open space to park his vehicle, but instead of entering the village immediately, he used the system to scan the entire village.
When the three-dimensional image of the entire village appeared in Chen Yu’s mind, he did not hesitate for a moment; this place didn’t seem as desolate and simple as it appeared on the surface.
All the houses were essentially connected, with no courtyards or fences set up between the households.
Chen Yu became immediately alert. He adjusted his breathing slightly and entered the village with great caution. After only a few steps, he was stopped by two young men blocking his path.
“Sorry, we don’t receive outsiders here. Please, sir, walk northwards a bit. There is a small city over there.”
Chen Yu chuckled lightly.
“It’s already so late in the day, and the roads in the desert are not easy to navigate. If a sandstorm hits, wouldn’t I be finished right here?”
“Besides, that small city is at least three hundred miles from here; how do you expect me to get there?”
The two young men didn’t care about such details. They took out short swords from their garments, ready to make a move.
“This gentleman is my guest, please let him in,” said a delicate yet somewhat domineering voice, leaving Chen Yu somewhat astonished.
He could never have dreamed that Jin Lingsu would be here.
After the issue with the Strait of Magellan had been resolved, Jin Lingsu went there, using her influence to mediate conflicts between various organizations.
In theory, that was a massive project, one she might well spend her whole life dealing with.
The two young men no longer obstructed and cleared the way.
Just as Chen Yu was letting down his guard, Jin Lingsu immediately grabbed his arm and hurried into a house.
Relatively speaking, this structure was the largest in the village, and the space inside was even more vast.
A few simple tables and chairs were placed inside the room, along with a counter, making it a small tavern.
“Weren’t you at the Magellan Strait?”
