"What is going on?!"

Zhou Yi, just emerging from the underground passage and arriving at Su Zhengrui's study, heard the alarm and looked back suspiciously at Su Zhengrui, saying: "I say, kid, has the Su family provoked some great enemy, and without enough hands to resist, you want to drag me out to face it?"

"No..."

Su Zhengrui's face was pale, his expression just barely calm as he shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm not sure what's happening either. Let's go out and have a look."

Zhou Yi gave Su Zhengrui a deep look and said, "Forget it, after all, I've been a guest elder here for a while, considering that the Su family treated me fairly well over the years, if the Su family faces trouble today, I won't just stand by idly!"

"Let's go!"

With that, Zhou Yi took the lead, rushing out of the study and heading with the crowds towards the Su family front yard!

He knew the current situation of Earth's spiritual energy revival; a year ago, the Su family already had several God Realm figures, not weaker than him in strength.

However, over the past year, without any spiritual medicine or resources to enhance his cultivation, he could only rely on absorbing nature's spiritual energy to cultivate, raising his cultivation merely from the Second Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm to the Third Layer.

Meanwhile, the Su family's God Realm experts, under the generous nurturing of the Su family's resources, should have at least reached the Fifth or Sixth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm by now.

If the Su family is really facing such a great calamity that even those elders from the Fifth and Sixth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm can't withstand it, Zhou Yi knew that even if he rushed over, it would be like a moth to a flame.

His most favorable choice at the moment should be to leave the Su family and quickly return to report to the Dragon King Hall.

After all, the Su family had already agreed to let him go, and he was no longer a guest elder of the Su family.

But just as Zhou Yi had said earlier, the Su family indeed treated him quite well over the past years. If the Su family faces great difficulty now, and all those God Realm experts have already fallen, even if he rushes in he would be like a moth to a flame, but he couldn't just walk away, leaving them in the lurch...

That would be against his conscience!

Su family front yard.

Mu Jinyu was confronting a group of people from the Su family.

Not long ago, with his imposing air, he had sent flying that group of security guards, smashed the Su family gate, and after striding straight into the Su family, a group of Su family elders who hurriedly rushed to the front yard in response to the loud alarm bell, confronted him.

"Dra...Dragon King?!"

The former head of the Su family, now the Great Elder, recognized Mu Jinyu at a glance, and his heart sank straight to the bottom of the sea, his face pale, unable to speak clearly.

They hadn't expected that after just discussing whether Mu Jinyu would come to trouble them because of Zhou Yi, with whom he had a fleeting acquaintance, Mu Jinyu would swiftly arrive.

And judging by his aggressive appearance, he was clearly here to cause trouble for the Su family.

This time... the Su family is in trouble!

The Second Elder, barely managing to maintain his composure, suppressed the fear and despair in his heart, bowed to Mu Jinyu, and asked, "We don't know what brings the Dragon King here to our Su family with such a great commotion? Is there anything urgent?"

Mu Jinyu stood with his hands behind his back, coldly sweeping his gaze over the numerous elders of the Su family who had rushed to the front yard.

The Su family is indeed formidable; even before the spiritual energy revival, their power far exceeded organizations like the Medicine Alliance or the Dan Pavilion, with quite a few God Realm experts.

However, after the spiritual energy revival, their development was not particularly impressive. Now, they don't even have a Fanxu Realm cultivator, and the strongest coming to stop him is only at the Sixth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm!

With a cold smile, Mu Jinyu spoke, "You really don't know why I've come to your Su family?"

"Release Zhou Yi, or I don't mind flattening your Su family today!"

As the words fell, an invisible Qi force radiated out like ripples.

"Boom!"

The group of Su family people who were confronting Mu Jinyu, upon hearing his words, were filled with shock and anger, about to say something, but were hit by the Qi force, immediately vomiting blood and flying backwards.

'How could this be?'

'Too strong! What level is the Dragon King really at?'

'Where is the family head? Why haven't they brought Zhou Yi out yet?'

The people of the Su family lay helplessly on the ground, filled with terror in their hearts, with no more wishful thinking. Even when thinking about the Dragon King coming to trouble their Su family, they now understood the gap between their Su family and the Dragon King Hall.

And realized clearly, that unless they extinguish the Dragon King's wrath today, their Su family truly faces the risk of being eradicated.

"Whiz!"

At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the air came.

"Who dares cause trouble at the Su family!"

The voice was old yet firm, tinged with anger, and carried a resolute intent to die!

Mu Jinyu, with an indifferent expression, was about to casually send the newcomer flying as well, but upon raising his head and seeing the newcomer's appearance, his expression paused slightly, recognizing it as Zhou Yi.

He quickly stopped himself.

Though Mu Jinyu had only met Zhou Yi once, he remembered his appearance quite clearly, albeit not his voice. Thus, when Zhou Yi shouted, Mu Jinyu didn't have much impression and almost struck him away.

"Elder Zhou, long time no see."

After stopping, Mu Jinyu smiled and greeted Zhou Yi.

"It's... Dragon Master..."

Zhou Yi naturally recognized Mu Jinyu as well, the fury on his face and the resolute intent in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced with immense emotion, tears welling up in his eyes.

He never imagined that Mu Jinyu would come to the Su family specially for an insignificant old man like him, to help him escape!

At this moment, he finally understood why Su Zhengrui suddenly decided to let him go, with such a complex expression in front of the prison cell.

It was because the Su family had learned of the Dragon King's return, fearing that forcibly detaining him would lead to an attack by the Dragon King Hall, and thus reluctantly chose to release him.

Looking at the incredibly emotional Zhou Yi, Mu Jinyu smiled slightly and said, "Elder Zhou, I came to take you back."

"Mm." Zhou Yi nodded dumbly, then, realizing, raised his hand with a solemn expression and said, "Dragon Master, I swear henceforth to be loyal to the Dragon King Hall, to repay the Dragon Master's great justice of today."

Mu Jinyu chuckled softly, "No need to be so serious. This was my promise to you years ago; I came today simply to fulfill it."

Speaking, he turned his cold gaze to the Su family people lying prone on the ground. "What do you want to do with these people? I'm standing up for you today, and I will make them pay the price!"

"People of the Dragon King Hall are not to be detained as they please!"

"Dragon Master... Dragon Master..."

At this moment, Su Zhengrui also rushed over, hearing just the last of Mu Jinyu's words, his face turned extremely pale, trembling as he said.

"Dragon Master, over the past year, our Su family indeed let greed get the better of us and wronged Elder Zhou. We certainly intend to compensate him for what he deserves. But we really haven't harmed him or done anything terrible to him..."

Mu Jinyu, with a cold expression, said nothing, not even sparing Su Zhengrui a glance, merely staring silently at Zhou Yi, awaiting his decision.

Seeing this, Su Zhengrui anxiously turned to Zhou Yi, saying, "Elder Zhou, tell the Dragon Master, in the past year, after we kept you, have we laid a hand on you? Have we subjected you to severe interrogation?"

Zhou Yi hesitated.

Judging from Mu Jinyu's attitude, he guessed Mu Jinyu intended to take action against the Su family to seize their cultivation resources.

Thus, if he wanted to join the Dragon King Hall, gain Mu Jinyu's favor, and receive his alchemical guidance, his best choice would naturally be to accuse the Su family of its crimes.

Allowing the Dragon King Hall to stand morally justified and outrightly seize the Su family's resources.

But...

To turn against an old employer who treated him not badly, for the sake of his path in alchemy, ruthlessly pitting against them, is it really right?
