Hu Lan spoke quite casually, even in the presence of outsiders.
Those outsiders were members of the Royal Family and high-ranking officials of the Empire, who would not casually disclose anything from this meeting.

"Originally, I had located their Main Territory, which was an Undead Territory. I planned to find their Lord and eliminate them, hoping to throw them into chaos."
