"Young Master, the accounting is complete. The estimated value of all assets from the Meng Mansion is six million seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones; Master of All Things took one million seven hundred thousand, saying he left a round number for you."

The chubby fellow arrived just in time for the settlement; Wang Junze didn't hide it from him, directly letting Peng Ru report face-to-face.

"Send half to Netherworld Mansion for Lord Dugu."

With a wave of his hand, Wang Junze casually instructed.

"Yes!"

As Peng Ru turned to leave, the chubby fellow's eyes glowed green with envy, and he said sourly, "Brother Ye, this isn't fair. We agreed to do something big together. How could you turn to the Master of All Things? We are the real brothers here!"

"...Who said I'm your real brother."

Looking at the chubby fellow, Wang Junze couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

"Hey, we have a life-and-death friendship, closer than real brothers!" The chubby fellow feigned a grievance and shouted.

"Alright, stop acting with me. As for offending Dugu Feng, you know you wouldn't dare." Wang Junze retorted with a wry smile, "Alright, let's get down to business. The Other Shore Flower... do you know about it?"

The chubby fellow initially complained just to get closer to Wang Junze and naturally didn't dwell on the matter. Hearing the question, he instantly perked up.

"Of course, I came to talk to you about this. We are indeed real brothers; we have the same keen eyes."

"..."

Why didn't I notice before that this chubby fellow is so shameless?

This wasn't a bad thing for Wang Junze; it meant he didn't have to figure out more ways to persuade the other.

Thinking it over, Wang Junze asked solemnly, "Shouldn't you first tell me who you really are?"

"Didn't that guy say it at the auction?" The chubby fellow spread his hands innocently.

"Hmm?"

His eyelids twitched slightly, and Wang Junze couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really the young master of the Pei Family?"

San Jia Commerce Association, Pei Sanjia!

This commerce association, which was spread across the Nine Southeastern Prefectures, undoubtedly had extraordinarily deep roots. It was said that Pei Sanjia himself was a Path-Entering Powerhouse, close to the Saint Realm.

Could this chubby fellow truly be Pei Sanjia's son?

"Absolutely genuine!"

Shrugging, Pei Haoran replied with a cheeky grin, "Of course, my old man doesn't just have one son. Otherwise, why would I bother to come risking my life at the Nether Sea?"

Though there was a bit of joking in his words, Wang Junze sensed that what he said was likely true.

This chubby fellow had a kind of desperate courage; no matter the scheme, at least he was willing to stake his life.

Moreover, according to the Master of All Things, the masked man was backed by Miss Fang, whose influence in the Nether Sea was not much weaker than Dugu Feng's. If this chubby fellow had no background, he probably would have been killed long ago and couldn't have survived until now.

Now this is interesting.

"What effect does that mask have?"

Staring at Pei Haoran, Wang Junze suddenly asked.

"Conceals one's aura, allowing one to disguise as having an aura a realm higher than one's own. If disguising at a lower realm, it's even easier... unless they're in the Saint Realm, no one can see through this disguise."

At this point, Pei Haoran didn't conceal anything, answering with a cheeky grin, "Don't get any ideas about me. You chose this path yourself back then, so I didn't trick you."

Pei Haoran clearly benefited from the situation, but since everything was done, he naturally wasn't going to fess up.

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty. However... this time when we go for the Other Shore Flower, you have to lend me that mask."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze said solemnly.

"Alright!"

Pei Haoran didn't even ask what Wang Junze intended to do, agreeing directly.

Having decided to cooperate with Wang Junze, he was indeed willing to take this step.

"Then it's settled. This time, let's cooperate once more; not only for the Other Shore Flower, but let's make a big move, kill as many as we can."

With a sharp gleam in his eyes, Wang Junze said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Pei Haoran also showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"Hahaha, I said we were real brothers; see, we're thinking the same thing. What's the point of just grabbing the Other Shore Flower? If we're playing, let's play big!"

Neither Wang Junze nor Pei Haoran was only after a tiny profit; what they wanted was a chance to truly establish themselves in the Nether Sea.

In the Nether Sea, politeness had no place; only being ruthless and having great strength were the true principles.

...

"Sir, Ye Piaoling has sent the Spirit Stones, totaling two million five hundred thousand."

At the same time, people from Netherworld Mansion found Dugu Feng and reported, "Additionally, we just received news that the young master from the Pei Family is currently at the Meng Family."

In Netherworld City, few pieces of news could escape Dugu Feng's notice, especially with things she was specifically watching.

"The Pei Family, Master of All Things... this Ye Piaoling, indeed has some capabilities."

Nodding slightly, Dugu Feng said faintly, "Has his background been cleared?"

"Not yet!"

Shaking his head, the Netherworld Mansion's commander explained, "We're investigating, but it seems this person suddenly appeared, with no prior records. Subordinate suspects this name... is probably fake."

"Whether the name is real or not is unimportant. What matters is... if he has any connection to the Judgment Department!"

With a sharp look in her eyes, Dugu Feng said coldly.

She knew from having left the Judgment Department that the department's methods of handling traitors were harsh, and had been staying vigilant against them for years.

In fact, over the years, she had already killed many people sent by the Judgment Department to the Nether Sea.

However, this Ye Piaoling's ruthless actions and debauched tendencies didn't match the Judgment Department's style.

Moreover, she had personally investigated, and did not find the aura of the Judgment Department's cultivation techniques on him.

Nonetheless, Dugu Feng remained cautious. Sending Ye Piaoling to seize the Other Shore Flower wasn't due to a lack of other options but was a means to test him further.

After all, Meng Hailong's strength was too weak to genuinely test Ye Piaoling's power.

When faced with a life-and-death crisis, one's true strength would naturally manifest, potentially revealing their true capabilities.

"Yes! Subordinate will do everything possible to investigate!"

With a slight bow, the Netherworld Mansion commander responded solemnly.

"Alright, you may go now."

Waving her hand impatiently, Dugu Feng dismissively ordered, "Oh, have Jiao Yang come see me!"

"Yes!"

After the person left, Dugu Feng then drew a blood-colored elixir from her sleeve, a hesitation flashing in her eyes, but in the end, she dared not consume it.

If anyone else was present, they would recognize the blood-colored elixir as a Blood Spirit Pill, and moreover... a Supreme Grade Blood Spirit Pill refined by a Path-Entering Powerhouse!

If she could refine this Blood Spirit Pill, Dugu Feng might even break through to Entering the Path.

Now, everything was ready; only the Other Shore Flower was missing...
