Before long, Zhou Yu arrived at a private club on the outskirts of a busy commercial area.

The aura of the young man who had been tracking Bian Shanshan was now inside this club.

At the same time, Zhou Yu sensed many martial arts experts within the club, but no auras above the King Realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yu strode directly inside.

As he entered, he was met by a large crowd coming towards him.

Leading them was a man in his forties.

This man wore a suit, glasses, and had the demeanor of a gentle scholar.

However, his aura had already reached about the Fifth Grade King Realm, a bona fide expert.

The man wore a smile on his face.

"Minister Zhou, it's an honor to have you here, apologies for not welcoming you sooner."

"I've already prepared some tea, specially inviting Minister Zhou inside for a taste."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

"You knew I was coming?"

The man smiled slightly.

"It was a fortunate coincidence."

"However, I've admired Minister Zhou for a long time, and today is a great chance to have a conversation."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

It was clear that the other party had discovered the True Yuan mark he left on that young man.

They were deliberately waiting for him here.

However, it seemed that these people weren't very hostile.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to wait for him in this bustling area.

Zhou Yu glanced coldly at the others around him, then strode inside.

Following the middle-aged man's lead, Zhou Yu arrived at the hall inside.

The staff inside immediately poured tea for Zhou Yu.

Just as Zhou Yu was about to drink the tea, he suddenly noticed a person sitting in a corner at the edge of the hall.

This person did not get up, drinking tea alone, looking very calm and composed.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Zhou Yu found that he couldn't detect this person's cultivation.

Clearly, this person's cultivation was far above his.

Quite possibly, at least an Emperor Realm expert.

Indeed, there was an Emperor Realm expert here on guard, Zhou Yu immediately became vigilant.

At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed unaware of Zhou Yu's anomaly; he cheerfully invited Zhou Yu to sit down and then said:

"Minister Zhou, let me introduce myself first."

"I am Murong Fang."

"We come from abroad."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said nothing.

He was clearly waiting for Murong Fang to continue speaking.

Seeing this, Murong Fang didn't keep him in suspense; he continued smiling:

"Minister Zhou, have you ever heard of Jiulongmen?"

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he shook his head.

To be honest, he really knew little about foreign powers.

Other than the Asia-East Alliance, there's only the Dark Domain.

Seeing this, Murong Fang was evidently a bit taken aback.

He clearly hadn't expected that the dignified Hu City Martial Pavilion Minister wouldn't even know about their Jiulongmen.

"Minister Zhou, you must at least know about the Dark Domain."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Of course, I'm aware of that."

Murong Fang's expression looked slightly more at ease, and he continued:

"We and the Dark Domain are blood enemies."

"Our two factions have been at odds for hundreds of years."

"However, it's shameful to say our Jiulongmen has been on the losing side for the past century; the situation is somewhat unfavorable."

"Even one of the nine leaders among us was killed by a Domain Envoy from the Dark Domain."

As he spoke, Murong Fang couldn't help but show a look of hatred on his face.

Through 'Divine Touch,' Zhou Yu also sensed that Murong Fang was likely not lying; it seemed Jiulongmen truly were mortal enemies of the Dark Domain.

However, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

"I want to know why you sent people to follow Bian Shanshan; what are your intentions?"

Murong Fang did not hide it and said:

"We are after the Thick Earth Spirit Plate."

"According to the information we've received, the clue to the Thick Earth Spirit Plate should be within the Bian Family."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu straightforwardly said:

"Then you don't need to search anymore."

"The Thick Earth Spirit Plate is already in my hands."

Upon hearing this, Murong Fang's expression froze, and he looked at Zhou Yu with some suspicion.

"Minister Zhou means that…the Thick Earth Spirit Plate was indeed with the Bian Family, and you've obtained it?"

Zhou Yu initially didn't want to disclose this information, as the more people knew he obtained the Thick Earth Spirit Plate, the less favorable it would be for him.

But now, Jiulongmen had already set their sights on the Bian Family; remaining silent would put the Bian Family at risk.

Zhou Yu wasted no words; he simply touched his Storage Ring, and the Thick Earth Spirit Plate appeared in his hand.

Seeing the Thick Earth Spirit Plate in Zhou Yu's hand, a gleam flashed in Murong Fang's eyes for a moment.

The expert's gaze focused intensely on Zhou Yu.

Even the Emperor Realm martial artist sitting at the edge released a Martial Arts Will, enveloping Zhou Yu.

However, Zhou Yu's expression remained very calm.

He waved the Thick Earth Spirit Plate in his hand, then said:

"So, the item is now in my hands, and you don't need to look for the Bian Family anymore."

After speaking, Zhou Yu looked at Murong Fang indifferently.

Staring at the Thick Earth Spirit Plate in Zhou Yu's hand, Murong Fang remained silent, his eyes constantly flickering.

In an instant, the entire hall's atmosphere became extremely tense.

It was like a storm brewing on the horizon.

However, after this atmosphere lasted for about half a minute, Murong Fang suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.

Seeing this scene, the people around were stunned, but they all silently withdrew, even the Emperor Realm martial artist retracted his Martial Arts Will.

The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Murong Fang looked at Zhou Yu and smiled:

"Minister Zhou, still as swift as ever; since you already have it, we indeed have no reason to keep an eye on the Bian Family."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu replied with a faint smile:

"If I were you, now would be the best time to seize it."

Murong Fang chuckled.

"Since Minister Zhou has obtained it, it means this object has no fate with us, and we do not intend to force it."

"However, we would like to propose a transaction with Minister Zhou..."
