Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Xingyun's body trembled. He looked at Lu Yu before him and said: "I-I don't know too much either. I only know establishing Dongdao Group is related to the family's future development plan. I'm just following the family's orders to manage Dongdao Group's affairs in Lin'an City; I don't know much about other deployments!"

In his words, Zhou Xingyun was filled with fear, and now his entire body shook like a sieve, trembling non-stop, looking extremely desolate, not at all like the usual impeccably dressed and profoundly deep demeanor.

At this moment, Zhou Xingyun seemed like a lamb waiting for slaughter, with an air and a gaze full of fear!

The family's plan?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, a trace of contemplation revealed in his eyes.

The Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall set up Dongdao Group in Lin'an City, naturally with a purpose.

After all, Zhou Family's power is rooted in Jinling City; if Dongdao Group were established in Jinling City, under the care of Zhou Family's Martial Arts Hall, its profits and growth rate would be far faster than in Lin'an City!

If it could be stable, naturally no one would take risks, which is human nature.

Yet Zhou Family didn't establish Dongdao Group within its influence in Jinling City, instead chose Lin'an City, indicating there must be some unspeakable reason!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, returning his gaze to Zhou Xingyun in front of him, and asked: "Now I ask you the last question, how strong is Zhou Huchen in your Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall?"

Now, Lu Yu had seen the situation clearly. Zhou Xingyun before him was merely sent by the Zhou Family to manage Dongdao Group's affairs, evidently unaware of the family's plans, making his persistent questioning meaningless.

Because of this, now Lu Yu wanted to inquire about Zhou Huchen's strength within the Zhou Family.

Lu Yu wished to use Zhou Huchen's strength as a benchmark to assess the power of Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall!

Zhou Huchen's skills were formidable, although not top-notch, his strength certainly remained among the experts. Therefore, using Zhou Huchen's strength as a standard to measure Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall's prowess was a rather prudent approach.

"Zhou Family has eighteen martial arts schools in Jinling City, Zhou Huchen is merely a master at one of these eighteen schools…"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Xingyun started introducing with fear: "In Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall, the lowest rank is that of regular disciples, and the masters of the eighteen schools are only mid-level, then higher are the elites of the Martial Arts Hall, so Zhou Huchen's capability is only mid-top tier among them…"

Mid-top level!

Upon hearing Zhou Xingyun's words, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.

Lu Yu had fully witnessed Zhou Huchen's strength, and such formidable power was merely mid-top tier in Zhou Family's Martial Arts Hall!

No wonder it's a family with a three-hundred-year legacy, such strength is indeed powerful!

It seems his intuition was right; the power of this Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall was indeed greater than both Jin Family and Gu Family!

With the capability of Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall, they could easily wipe out Jin Family and Gu Family!

"Since that's the case, let me ask you,"

At this moment, a trace of coldness flashed in Lu Yu's eyes as he looked at Zhou Xingyun ahead, pondering briefly before asking: "How many elites does Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall have?"

Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall has eighteen martial arts schools, hence eighteen masters, even with Zhou Huchen deceased, there are still seventeen masters equally matched with Zhou Huchen!

Seventeen masters on par with Zhou Huchen, this already forms quite a formidable force, and above these masters, there are even the elites of the Martial Arts Hall; such strength astounded Lu Yu!

Therefore, Lu Yu wanted to find out exactly how many elites Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall possessed!

"Four"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Xingyun responded with certainty: "The Martial Arts Hall has only four elites, and above them is the Hall Master, namely the master of Zhou Family, Zhou Fengming!"

Zhou Fengming...

Upon hearing this name, Lu Yu's eyes showed a hint of depth; he memorized this information in his mind.

This information was vital data.

With this information, he could have a general understanding of Zhou Family's strength, significantly aiding his future actions against Zhou Family!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu slowly stood up, looking at Zhou Xingyun before him, whose face was bruised, body shrinking and trembling, he said: "Very well, the information you've provided is very detailed. Do you have any more information regarding Zhou Family?"

In his words, Lu Yu continued probing Zhou Xingyun, looking to understand Zhou Family as thoroughly as possible!

After all, Zhou Family was one of the main culprits against his Lu Family, bearing an intense feud with Lu Yu, now the more comprehensive the information on Zhou Family, the greater his chances in the future!

"No, I don't have any..."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Xingyun replied: "I've already told you everything I know."

"Very well"

Upon hearing Zhou Xingyun's words, Lu Yu faintly smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of malevolence, looking at Zhou Xingyun in front of him, he said: "If that's the case, then there's no need to keep you around."

In his words, Lu Yu's eyes already revealed a trace of murderous intent, he said: "However, given that you told me so much, I can let you die a little quicker!"

As these words fell, Zhou Xingyun's eyes widened in disbelief, he never expected that even after revealing all he knew, Lu Yu still wouldn't spare him!

"No, no! You can't do this, I've told you everything I know, you can't kill me!"

In his words, Zhou Xingyun's expression turned frantic, nearing collapse!

"Young Master Zhou, stop struggling; now that you know my identity, I can't let you live!"

Speaking, Lu Yu's figure swayed, hands gripping Zhou Xingyun's head, he spoke softly: "Your Zhou Family and my Lu Family have an unresolvable vendetta!"

"So, be a good person in your next life!"

Speaking, Lu Yu's hands on Zhou Xingyun's head suddenly exerted force, giving a firm twist!

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Lu Yu twisted Zhou Xingyun's neck forcefully, the entire process was swift, leaving no time for reaction, causing no pain!

Just like that, Young Master of Zhou Family, director of Dongdao Group, died with his neck broken by Lu Yu, right in the underground parking lot!
