Zhou Yu didn't make a move, but instead stood in place watching Xia Houyun.

Xia Houyun steadied his body in mid-air and then flashed in front of Zhou Yu.

At this moment, his heart was filled with shock.

Although he had seen Zhou Yu's solo fight with the Black Abyss Demon Emperor before and realized Zhou Yu's strength had already surpassed his.

But he didn't expect it to exceed by so much.

That strike just now, although he didn't use all his strength, he used at least eighty percent of it.

However, Zhou Yu didn't even use martial skills, just the sheer body power to block it.

And the terrifying counter-shock made his internal organs shake.

What tremendous strength!

Zhou Yu's strength has far exceeded the limits of the younger generation.

No one among the younger generation can stand against him.

In this battle, Xia Houyun admitted defeat wholeheartedly.

He clasped his hands and said:

"Brother Zhou, worthy of being someone who can take on the Demon Emperor head-on."

"I lost!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu also clasped his hands and said:

"Brother Xia, you're being too kind."

"It was just good luck this time that I received some benefits, otherwise, before coming here, I definitely wouldn't have been your match."

Those words were true from Zhou Yu.

Xia Houyun laughed heartily and said:

"From childhood to now, you are the first person to make me admit defeat."

"But, Zhou Yu, I am not someone who gives up easily; I will challenge you again in the future."

Zhou Yu laughed heartily and said:

"No problem, you're always welcome."

Having a rival like Xia Houyun, Zhou Yu felt delighted.

"By the way, you'll probably be heading to the Capital City soon."

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

"That's right."

"There are still some matters to handle in the Capital City."

Xia Houyun laughed and said:

"Great."

"Contact me when you arrive in the Capital City; fighting aside, you have to drink as well."

"I'll treat you to drinks then."

"No problem."

"The water runs deep in the Capital City here, but there is someone you can trust—that is my grandfather."

Zhou Yu's heart was moved.

"You're talking about the Dragon Master?"

Xia Houyun nodded.

"My grandfather is indeed a righteous man; he won't make a move against you, but as for others, it's hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was taken aback.

The Dragon Master was not only the ruler of the Dragon Country but also the master of the Heavenly King Sea.

With the Heavenly King Sea desperately wanting to deal with him, he had thought it was under the Dragon Master's orders, but unexpectedly, it wasn't.

For a moment, Zhou Yu was greatly surprised.

However, he didn't doubt Xia Houyun was lying because there was no need for it.

Instantly, Zhou Yu thought of many things.

It seems that the Heavenly King Sea is far from being as simple as it appears.

Xia Houyun patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and said:

"Brother Zhou, you're a smart person; I believe you understand my words."

"Alright, no more words."

"Cheng Sheng and I will head back first."

"You, be careful!"

At the last sentence, Xia Houyun's eyes showed a meaningful look.

Clearly, he was reminding Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xia."

"I understand."

Xia Houyun said no more, swung his saber casually, broke through the sealing at the exit, and then vanished within the Blood Sky Secret Treasure.

After Xia Houyun and Cheng Sheng left, Mo Xiaoqing, Yun Feifei, and others came over to Zhou Yu.

Mo Xiaoqing watched the direction Xia Houyun and others left, her eyes showing a hint of strange color.

Then she said:

"This young man is not bad."

"His relationship with the Dragon Master is quite profound; you may consider pulling him in."

"To counter the Heavenly King Sea, you must find ways to divide them and strive for more people to support you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Senior Sister, your words sound like you're quite venerable."

"How old are you?"

At this, Mo Xiaoqing was momentarily stunned, then furrowed her embroidered brows and knocked Zhou Yu on the forehead.

"Ah—"

Zhou Yu cried out in pain.

Mo Xiaoqing glared at him.

"If you have the guts, repeat what you just said."

Zhou Yu didn't dare provoke her further and quickly shrank his neck.

"Senior Sister, I was wrong."

Seeing him looking mischievous, Mo Xiaoqing couldn't help but show a smile.

"Actually, I meant, since the Dragon Master isn't targeting me, why are others doing so?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing sighed softly and said:

"It's very simple."

"A man with a treasure invites disaster."

"The master's hand holds too many Heavenly Law Dao Beads, preventing many from even entering the Ancestor Realm."

"Naturally, he becomes the target of many."

Zhou Yu froze, showing a look of confusion.

"Just because of that?"

"I don't think it's that simple."

"Couldn't the old man distribute the extra Heavenly Law Dao Beads, or could accept more disciples, having them inherit these Beads and therefore cultivate a large group of Ancestor Realm experts to fight against the Dark Clan? Wouldn't that be better?"

Mo Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes showed a strange color, then she said:

"The master's thoughts are not for us to know."

"Alright, don't overthink it."

"In any case, Xia Houyun's reminder was correct, be wary of the Heavenly King Sea."

"They are definitely not as simple as they seem."

Seeing Mo Xiaoqing unwilling to say more, Zhou Yu could only keep his doubts to himself. Then, he changed the topic, asking:

"Senior Sister, according to you, the strength of the Heavenly King Sea is also unfathomable, how does it compare to the Ten Great Divine Kings?"
