Chapter 1428 - 1425: Monitoring Ye Qiu

Jiangnan City, Zhuo Family.

As a newly emerged Hidden Clan with barely a hundred years of foundation, the Zhuo Family is entirely in the lower-middle tier with not much influence in Huaxia.

Therefore, the Zhuo Family has been seeking opportunities to improve the family's strength and influence as much as possible.

Now, the Zhuo Family finally waited for such an opportunity!

Just recently, the Ouyang Family contacted the Zhuo Family, asking them to use their resources in Jiangnan City to find a person named Ye Qiu and then monitor him, making sure he doesn't run away.

As long as the Zhuo Family follows the Ouyang Family's conditions to find Ye Qiu and monitor him, providing intelligence to the Ouyang Family, the Ouyang Family will provide the Zhuo Family with a batch of rare and valuable herbs and pills.

With these herbs and pills, the Zhuo Family can cultivate a new generation of powerful masters, significantly enhancing the overall strength of the Zhuo Family!!!

Moreover, more importantly, this contact is from the top three Hidden Clans in Huaxia, the Ouyang Family. If they do well, they can also establish good relations with the Ouyang Family and elevate their status among the many Hidden Clans.

Such tempting rewards, plus the Ouyang Family merely requests them to find Ye Qiu's whereabouts and monitor him without needing to kill the man named Ye Qiu.

No need to kill that guy named Ye Qiu; the Zhuo Family doesn't even have to face him. As long as they are careful, there's no danger involved.

Thus, concerning such an apparent good deal, of course, the Zhuo Family couldn't refuse and eagerly agreed.

"Patriarch, should we send someone immediately to search for Ye Qiu's whereabouts?"

After ending the call with the Ouyang Family, a Zhuo Family Elder excitedly looked at the Zhuo Family Patriarch Zhuo Longgang, impatiently asking.

"Of course, otherwise what if that guy named Ye Qiu runs away?"

Zhuo Longgang made a decisive decision, his expression equally excited, "This is like a windfall from the sky; we mustn't miss this opportunity!!!"

Not to mention the said rewards from the Ouyang Family, just the rare herbs and pills alone, their status with the Ouyang Family cannot be ignored—they won't miss this chance and must treat it with urgency!!!

Immediately set off and, as instructed by the Ouyang Family, locate Ye Qiu's whereabouts and monitor him; this is the best choice!!!

Not only Zhuo Longgang, basically anyone who heard about the contact from the Ouyang Family thought this way.

Such good fortune must not be missed!!!

"Patriarch, we should remain calm; don't you feel something is not right about this?"

However, not everyone was overwhelmed by the sudden good news; some remained calm and spoke deeply, "If things were truly so simple, the Ouyang Family wouldn't need to contact us to find and monitor Ye Qiu. There might be something fishy in it!!!"

This person's words were like a cold bucket of water splashed over everyone present, waking them up.

Indeed, how could there be such windfall from the sky!!!

Many people regained their senses and noticed a hint of discrepancy.

Logically, if it were just about investigating a person's whereabouts and monitoring him, there was absolutely no need to contact the Zhuo Family specifically with such tempting conditions; it would be more efficient to hire some professional experts.

The people of the Ouyang Family couldn't be stupid, so surely there are some hidden dangers behind these tempting rewards!!!

"As far as I know, the Demon King Ye Qiu mentioned by the Ouyang Family had a clash with the Ouyang Family and the foreign Murphy Consortium not long ago."

The person who spoke earlier saw that everyone had calmed down and continued, "However, despite the Ouyang Family and Murphy Consortium dispatching numerous experts, including Divine Realm Powerhouses to encircle Ye Qiu, they couldn't kill him; instead, he escaped."

"So, I suspect that the Demon King Ye Qiu might have already broken through to become a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse! Additionally, his strength is definitely not weak, otherwise, the Ouyang Family wouldn't be so attentive!!!"

"Divine Realm Powerhouses? That seems unlikely…"

Many from the Zhuo Family were somewhat incredulous.

That is the Divinity Transformation Realm!!!

Breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm is extremely difficult; besides those few clans with deep foundations and powerful forces, like their ordinary Hidden Clan, only few have powerhouses in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Counting altogether, including the Zhuo Family's ancestors who are in seclusion, they only have three Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses in total.

A retired soldier, a special forces member in his twenties, with no special background or power, how could he have Divinity Transformation Realm strength.

At best, Ye Qiu might be a Half-Step Divinity Transformation, as for Divine Realm, it's just not realistic, right?

"Are you overthinking it? Ye Qiu is not even someone from a Hidden Clan; how could he have Divinity Transformation Realm strength."

Sure enough, another Zhuo Family Elder stood up and said dismissively, "Besides, even if he had Divinity Transformation Realm strength, so what? We aren't fighting him to the death."

"The Ouyang Family only asked us to monitor Ye Qiu and prevent him from escaping. No need to mention Divine Realm; even if he were an Unparalleled Strong in the Divinity Transformation Earth Realm, as long as we are careful, there won't be any issue, right?"

This Zhuo Family Elder's words resonated deeply with everyone present, significantly easing their newly born concern.

Indeed, even if Ye Qiu was a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse, so what?

As long as they don't engage in direct confrontation with Ye Qiu, there's basically no risk, right?

"But…"

Seeing everyone relax and that Elder remaining nonchalant, the person who spoke earlier was a bit anxious, frowning and wanting to say more.

"Alright, no need to say anymore."

However, Zhuo Longgang interrupted him, then seriously looked at him and said solemnly: "Even if there's risk, this hard-to-come-by opportunity, our Zhuo Family must seize it!!!"

"This… Alright."

The person who spoke saw that the Patriarch hinted clearly, opened his mouth for what he wanted to say, turned into a sigh, and said with a bitter smile.
