With just one sentence, Zhou Yu was stunned on the spot.

Master?

Honghuang Elder?

Are you talking about the old man?

Since reading the Heavenly List, Zhou Yu had always suspected that the old man was the Honghuang Elder ranked sixth on the list.

But that was just Zhou Yu's own speculation.

After all, he never verified it directly with the old man.

However, he didn't expect Tian Lu God King to ask him so straightforwardly.

For a moment, Zhou Yu didn't know how to respond, but he reacted quickly.

Zhou Yu didn't reply directly but instead asked:

"Tian Lu God King, do you know the old man?"

Tian Lu God King smiled and nodded.

"Indeed."

"Speaking of which, it was all eight decades ago."

"That time I was on a dangerous mission, and things went unexpectedly wrong, I almost lost my life."

"Later, if Honghuang Elder hadn't appeared and saved me, I'd have died eighty years ago."

"After that, he not only saved me but also guided me in martial arts, allowing my cultivation to advance rapidly later."

"So, strictly speaking, I'm also a disciple of Honghuang Elder, but he never officially accepted me."

Tian Lu God King smiled somewhat wistfully.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was completely stunned.

According to Tian Lu God King's account, he was utterly certain that the old man was the Honghuang Elder ranked sixth on the Heavenly List.

Unbelievable, the old man was already capable of instructing God Kings eighty years ago.

This old fellow was too deeply hidden.

Since childhood, Zhou Yu never realized how powerful this old guy was!

Zhou Yu's heart was shaking violently.

Digesting this astonishing fact.

A moment later, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, looked at Tian Lu God King, and said:

"I don't know the old man's recent situation either."

"But these twenty years, he's been living rather freely."

"Every day playing around with the village women, and peeping at Widow Wang bathing next door every night."

"He's living quite a leisurely life."

As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Tian Lu, Heavenly Gifted, and Xiao Ce God Kings were all taken aback.

What the heck?

Was Zhou Yu talking about the sixth-ranked Honghuang Elder who looked down upon the world?

All three of Tian Lu God King looked at each other, for a moment not knowing how to react.

After a moment, Tian Lu God King suddenly laughed loudly.

"Worthy of Honghuang Elder, at this level, we really can't compare."

Seeing the three laugh heartily, Zhou Yu felt anxious.

He had no mind to chat idly here.

He hurriedly asked.

"Tian Lu God King, so, why did Divine Sword Sect make such a big show just now?"

Hearing this, Tian Lu God King finally stopped laughing, and said solemnly:

"Everything happening today is a plot by Heavenly King Sea."

"They knew you came to Hang City, so they used the Broken Bridge Festival to set a trap. On the surface, appearing as a grudge between Divine Sword Sect and He Xue'er, the Divine Sword Sect experts come to eliminate He Xue'er."

"In fact, Heavenly King Sea wanted to use this setup, letting Divine Sword Sect experts deal with you, thereby forcing Honghuang Elder to appear."

"Once Honghuang Elder shows up, Heavenly King Sea will immediately summon several top experts to completely suppress Honghuang Elder."

These words from Tian Lu God King caused Zhou Yu's heart to quake.

This was a plot against him?

This was something Zhou Yu never expected.

He carefully thought about everything since coming to Hang City, until now, he still hadn't discovered when he entered the trap?

Seeing Zhou Yu's face full of shock and confusion.

Xiao Ce spoke up:

"Zhou Yu, actually, this matter began when you changed the Hu City pattern."

"Precisely because that incident was so sensational, Heavenly King Sea's attention was focused on you, confirming through various means that you are Honghuang Elder's disciple."

"Hence, followed a series of subsequent events."

"Abolishing Martial Pavilion, controlling Ye Family, aiming to eliminate all your backing and helpers."

"Then today setting up the trap at East Lake, trapping you in a dead-end to force Honghuang Elder to appear."

"Now, do you understand?"

Hearing Xiao Ce's explanation, Zhou Yu's heart instantly filled with endless anger.

His eyes turned blood-red.

"Elder Xiao, why does Heavenly King Sea want to deal with the old man?"

Xiao Ce was taken aback, then shook his head:

"I don't know."

"I think, even the two God Kings don't know."

Tian Lu and Heavenly Gifted God Kings both nodded.

"Indeed, we don't know."

"This is considered top secret within Heavenly King Sea."

"I only vaguely know that Heavenly King Sea people see Honghuang Elder as a huge threat, seemingly related to a secret on him."

"I don't know the specifics."

Tian Lu God King said with a furrowed brow.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's fists clenched tightly, releasing a terrifying killing intent.

Although he doesn't know exactly what the matter between Heavenly King Sea and the old man is.

But just from the fact that the old man raised him from childhood, this teacher-and-father-like affection immediately made Zhou Yu feel infinite killing intent towards Heavenly King Sea.

Dare to deal with the old man, then be prepared for annihilation.

Indeed, he currently lacks the power to confront Heavenly King Sea, but one day, he is determined to uproot Heavenly King Sea.

Feeling the astonishing killing intent emanating from Zhou Yu, even Tian Lu and Heavenly Gifted God Kings showed a look of surprise.

This moment, Zhou Yu asked:

"Is the Ye Family in danger now?"

Tian Lu God King shook his head.

"There's no danger for the time being."

Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.

"That's good."

Tian Lu God King furrowed his brow and asked:

"Zhou Yu, you don't plan to go to Capital City, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu replied without thinking, nodding immediately:

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Heavenly King Sea is in Capital City, they're already looking for a chance to capture you, force Honghuang Elder to appear, wouldn't you be walking into their trap by going to Capital City?"

Tian Lu God King said gravely.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said:

"I promised someone to go to Capital City to help solve a problem."

"More importantly, the Ye Family is being controlled because of me, I can't just sit and watch."

Hearing this, Tian Lu God King continued to ask:

"So, for them, you're not considering the safety of your master Honghuang Elder?"

Zhou Yu said solemnly:

"Naturally I won't ignore the old man's safety."

"But I also won't ignore the safety of my friends."

"They are all my friends."

"They've helped me many times."

"If I were to act like a coward, hiding in the world, if the old man knew, he'd definitely beat me with a stinky shoe sole."

"But, please rest assured, I am not a reckless person."

"Going to Capital City, I must have enough self-protection, otherwise, I wouldn't throw my life away for nothing."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Tian Lu God King paused for a moment, then showed admiration.

He nodded and said:

"Worthy of being Honghuang Elder's disciple."

"Just this insistence and choice are extraordinary."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his palm.

The next moment, in his palm, a blood-red Jade Talisman appeared.

"Zhou Yu, this is an Ancient Magical Artifact I've nurtured with my own Essence Blood."

"Carrying this can block three attacks from Ancestor Realm Experts."

"With the future dangers in Capital City, I hope this can assist you!"
