In the winter of Okra City, there are still crowds and it’s very lively.

Various caravans shuttle through the town, selling the specialties of their hometowns in winter, and then taking Okra City’s specialties back to their hometowns to sell.

With various bonuses on his body, Lotcar took less than half a day to bring Yang Yu and the others to this city.

Okra City is bustling with people, and the cries of vendors are continuous.

Riding on a giant wolf and leading a group of sea-dwelling species, Yang Yu’s party quickly became the center of attention.

Hualan had mentioned that the person who wanted to visit him was connected to the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, but did not say where to find that person.

Presumably, even that guy Hualan doesn’t know where the person who wants to visit him is.

Back then, Yang Yu and his party worked for the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber should have portraits of him and Bai Jin, perhaps even adorned because of their achievements.

Since that person wants to visit them, they must have done some homework to recognize Yang Yu and the others.

After entering the town, it already caused a stir.

As long as the intelligence of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce is not bad, they should be able to find Yang Yu quickly.

Yang Yu ordered Lotcar to slow down and wander through the street.

Before long, a courteous and outstanding-looking young lady, accompanied by two guards, appeared in front of Yang Yu and his group.

Slightly lifting her simple long skirt, the young lady on the giant wolf paid a respectful salute to Yang Yu:

”Mr. Yang Yu, nice to meet you for the first time. I am Mengte Joy, granddaughter of Carlo Joy, the president of the Chamber. Can I invite you to have a conversation at our chamber?”

Getting off Lotcar’s back, Yang Yu greeted the young lady as well:

”Nice to meet you for the first time, it’s a pleasure. Of course, thank you to your chamber for everything you’ve done for us.”

Mengte laughed, ”We should be thanking you for everything you’ve done for our chamber. Without you, it would be uncertain whether our chamber would still exist today.”

After a few simple pleasantries, Yang Yu followed Mengte Joy to the branch of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce.

The two talked about the recent situation of the chamber and then moved on to Yang Yu’s adventure, and eventually the topic shifted to the preparation of supplies.

”Also, Miss Bai Jin, please register the magic power of my family’s steward. If we find those things, we can contact you immediately.

Or if you urgently need certain materials, we can supply them to you immediately.

If there is any business cooperation in the future, you are always welcome.”

With no reason to refuse, Yang Yu had Bai Jin register the characteristic magic power of Mengte Joy’s steward.

This meeting between Mengte Joy and Yang Yu was just a simple meetup for mutual acquaintance, with no other implications, and Yang Yu did not trigger any task.

As the sky darkened, Mengte Joy warmly entertained Yang Yu and the others.

Thanks to the chamber’s fortune, Yang Yu got his first racial essence, and he gave Mengte Joy some face.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yang Yu and the others received a second contact from Hualan:

”Where have you reached?”

Yang Yu answered truthfully, ”We’ve already arrived in Okra City.”

Hualan didn’t beat around the bush, ”It’s faster than I expected.

I underestimated your mobility...

Well, that’s good.

Actually, Master just made contact, the meeting is advancing slower than imagined.

If you can go over, maybe you can turn around the current stalemate.”

”What happened at the meeting?”

Hualan told Yang Yu all he learned from the Master, and Yang Yu furrowed his brow.

Even though it’s the crucial period to deal with the Curse Sect, the Corpse Collection Coffin still hasn’t formed a true alliance with other forces.

Everyone is waiting for others to contribute more power to the crusade against the Curse Sect.

The Demon King will soon descend, and it’s estimated that each party wants to preserve their own strength.

This is an unknown risk and reward crusade, so their enthusiasm is naturally lower than expected.

No one knows if investing a lot of manpower and resources in this battle will leave them with enough to confront the upcoming Demon King.

Corpse Collection Coffin, as the initiator, couldn’t find a way to break the deadlock, so they wanted to rely on Yang Yu’s wisdom.

Yang Yu was equally troubled by this situation.

Although he had fought against the Curse Sect many times until now, each time the Curse Sect was very cautious, leaving few clues behind.

Now the stronghold of the Curse Sect was found by reading Chaste Jasmine’s memory.

Corpse Collection Coffin couldn’t provide evidence to prove the severity of the situation, and neither could Yang Yu and his group.

Even if he successfully stood in front of those big figures, he might just leave like Corpse Collection Coffin did, empty-handed, returning without success.

How exactly can this be proven?

Perhaps... no proof is needed.

Yang Yu agreed with Hualan for now that if they reach the capital of the Tren Republic, they would immediately contact the leader of Corpse Collection Coffin and Icaro Flo.

As for convincing others... perhaps by the time they reach the capital, they would have already settled everything.

With this thought, Yang Yu stretched lazily and went to bed.

...

That night passed without any conversation.

Early the next morning, Yang Yu bid farewell to Mengte Joy and set off on the journey again.

It took only another half day for Yang Yu and his party to arrive at the capital of the Tren Republic.

Everything in the capital of the Tren Republic went as usual, as if nobody knew about the Curse Sect and the imminent arrival of the Demon King.

The night before, Corpse Collection Coffin’s leader had instructed the soldiers defending the capital to be on the lookout for a young man riding a giant wolf.

Upon reaching the capital of the Tren Republic, Yang Yu and his party were promptly invited by the guards to head towards the Old Palace.

Without taking much time, Yang Yu and his party smoothly met the current leader of Corpse Collection Coffin, Wang Wu Yidru.

Wang Wu Yidru was somewhat surprised at how quickly Yang Yu’s group managed to arrive. He also marveled at their ability to bring such a huge force as Island Drifting.

After a brief introduction to each other, Wang Wu Yidru quickly began explaining the current situation to Yang Yu.

Today’s meeting is the same as yesterday, with each faction arguing without reaching a consensus.

Sweeping a glance at the thick materials on the table, Yang Yu asked:

”Really, there’s no evidence at all that can be presented?”

Wang Wu Yidru’s pure white face was filled with helplessness.

”Haven’t you thought about exaggerating the facts a bit to scare them?” Yang Yu pursued.

Wang Wu Yidru bitterly smiled: ”I tried that once before, but the effect was minimal.

Even if we state the facts, they would consider us as exaggerating.”

Pressing his hand on the thick materials, Yang Yu found it strange that despite their first meeting, Wang Wu Yidru believed so much that he could resolve everything:

”So, you guys really trust me.

When you invited me to cooperate, you tried every possible way to speak all kinds of good things.

And now you’ve invited me to solve a problem you couldn’t solve.

I’d like to hear why you trust me so much.

No one would believe in someone this much without any reason, right?”

Maintaining his smile, Wang Wu Yidru said: ”We trust you not just because we know your background, there are naturally other reasons.

If you can persuade others to deploy troops quickly, I would be very willing to tell you the reasons for our trust.”
