Something has happened!

The moment he received a message from Wang Junze's token, Pei Haoran's face changed drastically.

Almost instinctively, he wanted to find Wang Junze to discuss, or go out to sea directly, but such thoughts circulated only briefly in his mind before he forcibly suppressed them.

The timing is not right!

If Wang Junze guessed wrong, then whatever he does is futile, but if he guessed correctly...

With Dugu Feng's methods, not only Wang Junze's residence, but even he himself, as well as the Master of All Things, and other people who were closely related to Wang Junze before, are being monitored.

At this time, any redundant action would reveal flaws.

Taking a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, Pei Haoran sat back in his original position, pondered for a long time, and then continued as usual, reviewing the accounts and meeting with subordinates from the Four Seas Commerce Association, behaving as usual.

Time passed silently, but this afternoon seemed incredibly long for everyone.

....

Night fell.

Jiao Yang returned to the Netherworld Mansion again and met Dugu Feng.

However, this time, Jiao Yang was not alone in front of Dugu Feng.

"Sir, there's nothing unusual about Pei Haoran's place!"

"Nothing unusual about the Master of All Things!"

"Nothing unusual at Ye Piaoling's residence, and no suspicious personnel coming or going."

One piece of news after another came back, and just hearing it was enough to make Jiao Yang feel a chill down his spine.

These matters were not even told to him by Dugu Feng, but arranged through other confidants.

It's not that Dugu Feng doesn't trust Jiao Yang, but Jiao Yang's identity is special, and he's familiar with Wang Junze and them, so any of his actions would be noticed, thus greatly reducing the effectiveness of the investigation.

The most terrifying thing for Jiao Yang was that he didn't recognize any of these people!

Those now standing in the room reporting back were not soldiers of the Netherworld Mansion, but rather some very unfamiliar faces, wearing blood-red clothes, only seven or eight in number, but each was absolutely elite, all at the Void Shattering level, with similar auras, most likely having cultivated the same cultivation technique, also exuding a strong killing aura!

In other words, these people are probably Dugu Feng's secretly cultivated confidants.

As for those familiar faces seen earlier, they were just to mislead others.

"Let's go, to Ye Piaoling's residence!"

Waving his hand, Dugu Feng offered no explanation and spoke coldly.

While speaking, he took the lead in leaving the room.

In a matter of moments, Dugu Feng and his group quietly entered Wang Junze's residence; it should be known that every one of these people had the cultivation of Void Shattering, and they couldn't be easily detected at all.

"Who's there?"

Almost at the instant Dugu Feng and his group entered the courtyard, Wang Junze suddenly sensed something, knocked off a wine jug next to him, and immediately drew his sword.

"No need to panic, it's me!"

Seeing Wang Junze's reaction, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Dugu Feng's eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Sir?"

Showing a trace of surprise, Wang Junze immediately put away his sword and bowed deeply to Dugu Feng: "Why have you come?"

"Don't ask anything, call Peng Ru here!"

With a calm expression, Dugu Feng ordered indifferently.

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Junze immediately summoned Peng Ru.

Upon seeing Dugu Feng, fear couldn't help but flash in Peng Ru's eyes, making her look somewhat at a loss.

"I remember you!"

Glancing at Peng Ru indifferently, a scarlet hue appeared in Dugu Feng's eyes, suddenly he asked: "Did Ye Piaoling ask you for the Profound Moon Sword Technique?"

In an instant, Peng Ru seemed to be submerged in a sea of blood, trembling uncontrollably, involuntarily blurting out: "He did, in the afternoon, the young master even asked me to demonstrate the Profound Moon Sword Technique!"

"Does he have any relation with the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Feng withdrew his gaze, and in the next moment, Peng Ru collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat, her face full of fear.

So terrifying!

She had no idea what methods Dugu Feng used on her just now, but she had no ability to resist at all, whatever he asked, she would involuntarily and truthfully answer.

"Is Sir suspecting me?"

His expression slightly changed, but Wang Junze ignored Peng Ru who had collapsed on the ground, instead looking full of vigilance at Dugu Feng.

"Just a precautionary measure."

With a relaxed expression, Dugu Feng said indifferently: "I still admire you quite a bit, otherwise, I wouldn't be testing you."

"I have never had second thoughts about Sir!"

Under such circumstances, Wang Junze naturally knew what he should say, immediately bowing and saluting.

But inwardly he couldn't help but sigh in relief; if he hadn't been vigilant this afternoon, this time he would definitely have revealed flaws to Dugu Feng.

"Let's go, follow me out to sea!"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze showed a trace of surprise again, asking: "Wasn't it supposed to be three days later?"

"Just a method to deceive others, those people... I do not trust them, among them there might be spies sent by Miss Fang, only you guys are my true confidants."

Dugu Feng answered again.

"Sir's insight is admirable!"

Showing a trace of admiration in his eyes, Wang Junze immediately replied: "I can depart at any time."

"Let's go, take her with you and follow me!"

Glancing at Peng Ru, Dugu Feng instructed again.

Moments later, Wang Junze followed Dugu Feng and the group, quietly leaving the Netherworld City.

Waving his hand, the people by Dugu Feng's side immediately took out several Netherworld Flying Ships.

Apparently, Dugu Feng intended for everyone to board the Netherworld Flying Ships he prepared, not allowing Wang Junze to take out his own Netherworld Flying Ship, let alone take Peng Ru alone on a flying ship into the sea.

"Follow me!" Glancing at Wang Junze, Dugu Feng pointed at Peng Ru and instructed again: "Jiao Yang, you take her, the others, two people per flying ship, head out to sea together!"

Wang Junze naturally dared not protest and obediently followed Dugu Feng onto the flying ship, although besides the two of them, there was also a Ji Liuyun.

Dugu Feng sat in the front, while Wang Junze and Ji Liuyun squeezed together, but it wasn't too crowded.

Breathing in and out, all the Netherworld Flying Ships flew into the sea simultaneously.

Sure enough, everything was developing in the worst direction, just as Wang Junze had guessed.

Under Dugu Feng's watchful eyes, Wang Junze couldn't even think of contacting the Maiden of the Sea, nor could he make any out-of-line actions.

"No need to be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

Sitting on the Netherworld Flying Ship, Dugu Feng seemed much more relaxed, glancing at Wang Junze, he said casually.

Sighing bitterly, Wang Junze replied: "Things are happening too quickly, I haven't quite adjusted yet, I ask for your pardon, Sir."
