However, Zhou Yu didn't treat the Proud Family as he did the Han and Zhu Families.
The Proud Family is quite strategic, as was evident from what just happened.
The King Realm experts from the Zhu and Han Families directly attacked him.
But the King Realm experts from the Proud Family appeared last.
Obviously, for some reason, the Han and Zhu Families were being used as pawns by the Proud Family.
To achieve this, one can imagine how ingenious that must be.
So, before Zhou Yu went to trouble the Proud Family, he planned to find someone to gather information first.
The best person to understand the Proud Family's situation was, of course, Zhao Da.
Zhou Yu directly took out his phone and called Zhao Da.
However, after the call went through, it always showed that it couldn't connect.
Zhou Yu frowned, and his intuition told him Zhao Da was in trouble.
Cloud King, standing beside Zhou Yu, noticed his grim expression and immediately asked:
"Zhou Yu, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice:
"I have a friend who might be in trouble."
"I have to go check first."
"Okay."
Cloud King didn't ask further questions.
The three of them soon arrived at the hotel where Zhao Da stayed.
However, inside the hotel room, there was not a single person.
Her shoes, bag, and even her coat were still in the room.
Zhou Yu's Divine Sense spread out instantly and discovered there were still traces of Martial Artists left in the room.
It's a high-level Martial Artist, at least above the Saint Realm.
Zhao Da was taken away.
Zhou Yu made the judgment instantly.
At this critical moment, with Zhao Da's disappearance, the biggest suspicion naturally fell on the Proud Family.
A cold light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.
"Proud Family..."
...
At the same time.
At the entrance of Proud Family Manor.
At this time, the entrance of Proud Family Manor was crowded with experts from the Proud Family.
The leader was Ao Ziyi, the leading figure of the younger generation of the Proud Family.
With such a significant event happening tonight, with Zhou Yu confronting the Han and Zhu Families one after another, and given that the Proud Family also participated in this matter, it couldn't just sit by without any reaction.
Therefore, Ao Ziyi had brought the experts of the Proud Family early to wait at the entrance, waiting for Zhou Yu to arrive.
A little past three in the morning.
Zhou Yu finally appeared.
The people of the Proud Family all showed a solemn look, watching Zhou Yu emerge from the night.
Ao Ziyi took a deep breath.
"Mr. Zhou, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhou Yu looked around and instantly noticed that all the people present were experts above the Saint Realm, numbering over thirty.
Thinking of his Hu City Martial Pavilion, they counted all together, and there were only seven people in total.
This was due to the Hu City Martial Pavilion being continuously squeezed and provoked by these major forces over the years.
Zhou Yu looked coldly at Ao Ziyi.
"It seems you are prepared to fight me."
Ao Ziyi immediately said:
"Mr. Zhou, whether to fight or not depends on you. Although my Proud Family participated in some matters, it was all indirectly, which Mr. Zhou should know."
"These matters can be big or small. If Mr. Zhou turns a blind eye, everyone will be happy."
"But if Mr. Zhou insists on making an issue, then my Proud Family..."
"What about it?"
Zhou Yu snorted coldly.
Ao Ziyi chuckled.
"Naturally, we would give Mr. Zhou some face. My Proud Family can also spend money to dispel calamities."
Ao Ziyi chuckled lightly; though he spoke of spending money to dispel calamities, his attitude was still condescending.
Zhou Yu sneered.
"Leaving my matters aside for now, I only ask you one thing, where is Zhao Da?"
Ao Ziyi did not expect Zhou Yu to pursue Zhao Da's whereabouts at this time.
He was stunned for a moment, then soon returned to his indifferent smile.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to care so much about my cousin. Could it be that you've taken a fancy to her?"
"If that's the case, I can now make the decision to marry my cousin to you, and then our two families would be relatives, ha ha…"
Seeing Ao Ziyi's sly smile, a cold light suddenly flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.
He sent a palm strike through the air.
Slap!
Ao Ziyi was directly struck in the face by the powerful Qi Force.
He screamed and flew out sideways.
Seeing this scene, the Proud Family's Saint Realm crowd immediately wanted to take action but was stopped by Ao Ziyi.
Ao Ziyi was bleeding from his mouth and struggled to get up from the ground.
"Mr. Zhou, I truly don't know where Zhao Da has gone?"
"She is my cousin, not my dog. How would I know where she wants to go?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.
His 'Divine Touch' sensed that Ao Ziyi was not lying.
Could it be that Zhao Da's disappearance had nothing to do with the Proud Family?
But apart from the Proud Family, who else would act against Zhao Da?
Zhou Yu couldn't figure it out for the time being.
It seemed he could only let the Martial Pavilion people investigate tomorrow.
With this in mind, Zhou Yu squinted at Ao Ziyi.
"If that's the case, then I won't ask anymore."
"Now, let's resolve the matters between us."
Ao Ziyi said in a solemn voice:
"The Proud Family can spend money, but it absolutely can't be as much as the Zhu Family…"
Before Ao Ziyi finished speaking, Zhou Yu directly interrupted him.
"You are overthinking it; this matter can't be solved with money."
Ao Ziyi was taken aback.
"Then what do you want?"
Zhou Yu's gaze swept over the group of Saint Realm experts behind Ao Ziyi.
"Your Proud Family's Saint Realm experts are numerous."
"I'm quite curious about their strength. Spar with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying Gang Jin erupted from Zhou Yu's body, and simultaneously, a blood-golden Golden Cauldron Phantom enveloped his head.
Then, Zhou Yu's figure flashed, rushing straight into the Proud Family's Saint Realm crowd.
Immediately, the screams of two early Saint Realm experts were heard, and the two Saint Realm experts met a violent end in an instant.
Zhou Yu was about to unleash a massacre!!!
Ao Ziyi's face turned frantic, and he shouted urgently towards the manor:
"Ancestor! Hurry up!"
As the words fell, two terrifying auras erupted from the depths of the Proud Family Manor, immediately locking onto Zhou Yu's figure.
"Kid, stop immediately, or perish!!"
