At this point, the lead technical officer's voice trembled slightly:

"This team's strength has already surpassed the standard of the Central Plains regular military..."

The unknown strength means that it has exceeded the observation range of this device, and it is definitely a high-level awakened one.

A team composed entirely of Awakened Ones, including two high-level Awakened Ones—something they would never have dared to imagine under normal circumstances, yet they witnessed it with their own eyes today.

The tech officer hurriedly urged, "Go and report to the city lord immediately."

"yes!"

Soon, Li Yu's team arrived smoothly at the gate of Yangcheng.

Li Yu looked up and saw the green flags of Zhongzhou fluttering on the city wall, with a gold-patterned flag bearing the character "Li" below.

Several sensory abilities enveloped him, but they were all automatically repelled by Li Yu's powerful mental strength.

Just as the soldiers stationed at the city gate mustered their courage to come up and ask questions, the city gate behind them suddenly creaked open and was flung wide open.

The soldiers turned around, their expressions immediately hardened, and they stood up straight, shouting in unison:

"City Lord!"

City Lord Li Yang wore a long robe embroidered with exquisite clouds and a red sun, and was followed by more than a dozen fully armed guards.

Li Yang had a beard, but he was extremely reserved, and there was not even the slightest trace of energy emanating from him.

As the city lord of Yangcheng, he was naturally no ordinary person.

When Li Yang saw Li Yu's face, his eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately recognized Li Yu's identity.

He immediately approached with a bright smile, deliberately letting each step he took emit light, making him appear incredibly peculiar.

"We are so sorry for not welcoming our distinguished guests properly!"

Li Yu nodded slightly, her gaze lingering for a moment on the shimmering light beneath Li Yang's feet, before deliberately asking in a nonchalant manner:

"You know me?"

Li Yang's smile widened: "Who doesn't know the name of hero Li Yu?"

After speaking, Li Yang's gaze swept over the seven neat rows of soldiers behind Li Yu, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:

"The momentum of this team is rarely seen in the entire Central Plains!" Li Yang exclaimed sincerely.

"You're too kind, Lord Li."

Li Yu responded calmly, her voice neither humble nor arrogant, maintaining just the right amount of distance.

Seemingly noticing Li Yu's growing distance, Li Yang suddenly lowered his stance, stepped forward to approach Li Yu, slightly cupped his hands, and smiled:

"The Tenth Star Lord truly lives up to his reputation!"
