Artlu Canyon.
That was a very large canyon located to the west of the Royal Capital.
Inside the canyon was a world of demons, inhabited by a vast variety of them, with generally high levels. The deeper one ventured, the higher the levels of the demons became. This turned the place into a treasure ground for many high-level adventurer teams, but also the final resting place of countless renowned adventurers. Hence, it had earned the nickname “Death Canyon.”
It was said that at the deepest part of the canyon, there lay a large Magic Source.
This Magic Source was occupied by a terrifying Level 90 demon who had claimed it for a solid four hundred years. The demon was considered the lord of this canyon, and even the Kingdom found it difficult to chew up this tough bone due to the terrain, allowing the fearsome creature to continue its unchallenged reign.
However, while people feared this formidable demon, it also dared not leave the canyon and venture outside. Always seemingly well-behaved, the Kingdom turned a blind eye to it, allowing the creature to continue occupying the Magic Source in the depths of the canyon.
For four hundred years, numerous adventurers had entered the canyon in pursuit of hunting demons or searching for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Until now, the canyon remained a hot spot in the realm of adventurers, with many visiting daily.
As long as one did not venture into the deepest parts of the canyon and chose to explore the periphery or slightly further based on one’s strength, it would not disturb the dreadful demon.
As such, Artlu Canyon was considered one of the livelier places in the vicinity of the Royal Capital, attracting a diverse range of visitors.
Until recently, unnatural movements among the demons around the Royal Capital had been noted, and the demons within the canyon began to grow irritable and dangerous. This led to many adventurers facing danger, even losing their lives, turning the place into a true Death Canyon that ordinary adventurers no longer dared to enter recklessly.
At this moment, at the entrance of Artlu Canyon, layers of fences had been erected to seal off the entrance.
In front of the fences was an armed-to-the-teeth Knight Order.
They were the Kingdom’s Knight Order, acting on Luoqi’s orders. Since yesterday, they had begun to blockade the area, not allowing anyone to enter or even approach the canyon.
Beside such fences, there was even a camp set up by the Knight Order, filled with tents, signaling to outsiders that this had become a temporary base for the Order.
Many adventurer teams had arrived here, arguing with the members of the Knight Order.
“Why won’t you let us in?”
“This is unreasonable!”
“We’re working on an investigation mission issued by the Guild; we have permission to enter!”
“Bring out your leader!”
“We want to confront him face to face!”
Many adventurers like these vented their frustration at the Knight Order.
Unfortunately, the members of the Knight Order still stood in front of the fences, their expressions indifferent.
“This is an order from Her Highness Princess Luosilusti.”
“No one is allowed to enter the canyon.”
“Leave now.”
“Leave.”
The knights were utterly unyielding and began to drive people away without a second word.
This enraged the adventurers even more, and they began to shove the knights.
The scene became somewhat chaotic and even explosive.
Amidst such tension, Shane and Ai Yi appeared.
“Are you sure Vivian and the others are in this canyon?”
Staring at the tumultuous scene, Shane remained silent for a long time before finally asking Ai Yi beside him in a low voice.
“…Anyway, my magic power reaction is right inside there, believe it or not.”
Ai Yi had an extremely annoyed look, seemingly still holding a grudge over Shane mussing up her hair earlier.
“Alright,” Shane said, disregarding Ai Yi’s mood, watching the noisy Canyon Camp, and murmured, “Seems like things are a bit chaotic here.”
“What are you planning to do?” Ai Yi asked irritably. “Going back?”
Shane didn’t answer but instead walked straight toward the entrance of the canyon.
Naturally, the members of the Knight Order wouldn’t let him through.
“The area ahead has been sealed off by the Kingdom, go back, adventurer.”
Two knights appeared in front of Shane, one on the left and one on the right, swords drawn to block his path.
Shane remained unfazed.
After all, it was he who had suggested the blockade around the Royal Capital.
So now, being stopped, Shane didn’t get angry because of it.
However, Shane certainly wouldn’t stop here.
“I am sent by Princess Luosilusti to investigate the Canyon.”
Shane took off the pendant, a token of the Royal Family, from his neck and displayed it in front of the knights.
“This…”
“Ugh…”
Originally stern-faced, dispensing no favors, the knights’ expressions changed abruptly upon seeing the Holy Sword pendant in Shane’s hand.
This turn of events, very smoothly, drew the attention of the people around.
“That’s a Royal Token!”
“Does that mean that person is really sent by Princess Luosilusti?”
“So young…”
“I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere…”
The Knight Order all exchanged confused looks.
On the other hand, the adventurers, as if seeing reinforcements, gathered around.
“Envoy, my lord!”
“Envoy, my lord! Please judge for us!”
“Yes! Envoy, my lord!”
“These people have gone too far!”
The adventurers all started complaining loudly, which caused Shane to freeze in place.
The knights, meanwhile, became visibly flustered and began rebuking the adventurers.
“Shut up!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Where have we gone too far?”
“Back off! Everyone, back off!”
The knights tried to disperse the adventurers.
But the adventurers wouldn’t budge and once again started to push against the many knights.
Suddenly, the whole scene became even more chaotic and noisy, almost like a marketplace.
“What on earth is going on here?”
Shane came to his senses, furrowed his brows, and looked at a knight.
That knight immediately panicked and hurriedly spoke.
“Envoy, my lord, do not listen to their nonsense. They just want to break into the sealed Artlu Canyon and we stopped them. We are stationed here on the command of Princess Luosilusti, acting entirely by the rules!”
No sooner had the knight finished speaking than a group of adventurers furiously retorted.
“By the rules?”
“Do you also have the nerve to say you’re acting by the rules?”
“Although the Princess has dispatched the Knight Order to seal off this area, she has also stated through the adventurer’s guild that she hopes to get the guild’s help to investigate any abnormalities around the Royal Capital!”
“The guild has already issued a commission to investigate Artlu Canyon, saying that anyone who takes the commission will be allowed to enter!”
“Yet you keep stopping us, what does this mean?”
“Exactly!”
The adventurer’s serial rebuttals made the knights’ faces turn even uglier.
Seeing this, Shane understood.
It seemed that some situation had arisen here.
