Beastmaster King

Before long, Lu Ran was escorted by Black Feather to a room within a secluded courtyard at the City Lord’s Mansion. After settling Lu Ran in, the necromancer, Black Feather, hastily left, informing Lu Ran that she could be found next door if needed.

“What’s with her? Is she socially anxious?” Lu Ran noted Black Feather’s overly cautious demeanor and was rendered speechless.

Fuck, it’s already something that I dared to come to the Undead Faction. And yet, you’re the ones afraid of me?

He shook his head in exasperation.

What kind of world is this?

In truth, Lu Ran had a solid reason for venturing into the Undead Faction. In most ascension missions involving faction conflicts, once a faction was chosen, the participant was typically bound to that faction unless they actively attempted to sabotage it. This meant that intra-faction betrayal was rare during the mission.

Limitless City ensured each participant was assigned a proper identity, much like how Lu Ran and the others were previously given roles as inn apprentices. Moreover, the success of faction conflict tasks often hinged on the strength of the participants themselves.

In other words, participants were positioned as high-level forces capable of influencing the conflict’s outcome. Otherwise, the mission would lose its purpose. The outcome of these faction clashes was primarily determined by the participants and not the NPCs.

Thus, whether it was the imperial army or the Cult of Death occupying Ming An City, neither side was likely to have overwhelming strength that participants couldn’t contend with.

If Lu Ran initially had concerns, they were dispelled after his conversation with the missionary, Gao Li. Gao Li held a minor position. He was just a missionary incapable of contacting superiors directly and limited to waiting passively for instructions.

Such a position wouldn’t belong to a powerhouse. Additionally, Gao Li’s mention of one month until further contact indicated that no high-ranking forces were nearby.
