This senior brother naturally refers to Xu Mu himself.

Since Xu Mu intended to obtain wealth from the Dai family, he naturally needed to instill a sense of crisis in them.

The more terrifying he made Ye Chen sound, the more afraid the Dai family would be, and the greater the price they would be willing to pay.

"You know about it?"

Dai Feiying immediately furrowed his brows.

"Don't think so little of me; I have my own sources of information."

Xu Mu looked at Dai Feiying with a calm expression.

"In that case, let's get straight to the point. Your wife is Ye Chen's sister, so I assume you know something about him?"

Dai Feiying looked at Xu Mu. "I'd like to inquire about him. Why did he disappear for several years only to return with such formidable strength?"

"It's no harm telling you. Years ago, Ye Chen was trafficked abroad. He killed his trafficker and, afraid to return to China, by a twist of fate became an assassin for an organization."

Xu Mu paused before continuing. "Later, through another stroke of luck, he obtained the inheritance of a Heaven-grade cultivation technique. Within a short time, he made a name for himself. He killed the leader of his original organization, took over the assassin group, renamed it the Dragon King Hall, and proclaimed himself the Dragon King."

"A twist of fate? How is his luck so good?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Xuan clenched his fist and slammed it onto the sofa.

Xu Mu glanced at Dai Xuan. How could his luck not be good? After all, he's the main character.

"I'm curious. Logically speaking, he's your brother-in-law, yet you seem quite displeased with him."

Miyako Fuka, who was sitting nearby, asked in confusion.

"Because he's inhuman. Relying on his formidable strength and numerous powerful subordinates, his arrogance knows no bounds."

Xu Mu snorted coldly. "Can you believe it? He actually wanted me to divorce my wife."

Hearing this, everyone present was utterly shocked.

"Does he want to take her for himself? Damn it! He's even more shameless than me!"

Dai Dongyang cursed under his breath. He had noticed how beautiful Dai Xingluo was since childhood and often fantasized about her while sleeping.

But deep down, he still knew this was a line he couldn't cross.

"No wonder you said earlier that you also hate Ye Chen."

Dai Xuan said with a smile. "In that case, we are allies. We can cooperate."

"No, there's no need for me to cooperate with you."

Xu Mu waved his hand dismissively.

Upon hearing this, the smile instantly froze on Dai Xuan's face. "Why?"

"First, I can afford to wait. As you know, I've joined the Zhengdefa Evil Sect. I believe if I continue cultivating like this, I'll eventually surpass Ye Chen."

Xu Mu looked at Dai Xuan and continued, "Second, Ye Chen is an extremely ruthless person. Dare to lay a finger on him, and he will surely slaughter your entire family. My strength is currently weak, so there's no need for me to provoke him."

"You... are too naive. Even if you don't provoke Ye Chen, he will come for you!"

Hearing Xu Mu say that Ye Chen would directly kill entire families, Dai Feiying was so frightened his eyelids were twitching violently.

This time, they hadn't just crossed Ye Chen; they had sought alliances to kill him. The retaliation they could expect was unimaginable.

"Xu Mu, doesn't your sect have many powerful experts? Why go through all that trouble? Just have your sect's people kill Ye Chen directly!"

Dai Xuan quickly followed up.

"That's right! Have the experts from your sect take action. Dealing with Ye Chen would be effortless, wouldn't it?"

Dai Feiying chimed in as well.

"No! My master made it very clear. One must handle their own affairs themselves. He will not help me."

Xu Mu gently shook his head. "As for my senior brothers in the sect, the cost of asking for their help is too high. Moreover, they might not necessarily be a match for Ye Chen."

Hearing this, Dai Feiying immediately asked, "What is the cultivation level of your senior brothers?"

"Those I'm close with are roughly at the Grandmaster level."

Xu Mu replied with a smile.

"Good! Xu Mu, please invite your senior brother to emerge from seclusion! As for the cost you mentioned, we will pay it!"

Dai Feiying said to Xu Mu.

He now had no other choice. Dai Feiying himself had only just entered the Grandmaster realm.

Yet Ye Chen, so young, had already reached the Grandmaster level, and he had other Grandmasters by his side.

Destroying the Dai family would be effortless for them.

If one is about to die, what use is all that wealth?

Actually, he had one more escape route: seeking help from his former sect.

However, he knew his former sect all too well. To get them to take action, even just once, would likely cost the Dai family all their assets.

Therefore, beseeching Xu Mu's sect was currently the best option.

"I still think we should forget about it."

Xu Mu gently shook his head. "Inviting my senior brother to emerge would cost a huge sum of money. And if he ends up not being a match for Ye Chen, that money won't be refunded."

"It's fine! I trust your sect."

As Dai Feiying spoke, he glanced at Miyako Fuka nearby; it was the same with them.

Asking for their help required paying a price.

If successful, they would need to hand over the promised subsequent reward.

If they failed, the subsequent reward wouldn't need to be paid, but what was given upfront wouldn't be returned either.

After all, they did indeed take action to help.

Alright. After I return, I'll call my senior brother. As for the payment, let him come and discuss it with you personally.

Xu Mu stood up and said, "I remember my Fourth Senior Brother is currently in Jiangbei. He can get here before nightfall."

"Alright, then we'll wait for him here. By the way, what's his name?"

Dai Feiying inquired.

"His name is Jiao Jun."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "Our Zhengdefa Evil Sect is recruiting disciples, where looks are more important than talent."

After speaking, he turned and walked outside.

Dai Xuan stood up to see Xu Mu out the door, then closed it and returned to the sofa.

"Father, what if that person makes exorbitant demands?"

"We're not fools. We'll definitely have him demonstrate his skills first. If his strength is truly formidable, what does it matter if he asks for a lot?"

Dai Feiying rubbed the corner of his eye, "Money can be earned again if lost, but you can't take it with you when you die."

Dai Xuan nodded gently, then looked at Miyako Fuka, "Miss Miyako, since we failed to kill Ye Chen this time, naturally we cannot give you the subsequent payment. What are your plans?"

"I'll wait until nightfall. I'm quite interested in the Zhengdefa Evil Sect."

Miyako Fuka said indifferently.

...

Xu Mu had left by car, but he didn't go far, instead parking in an underground garage.

The senior brother he mentioned was, of course, himself.

Inside the car, he now activated a Level Seven Illusion Formation to alter his appearance.

Although he couldn't meticulously sculpt his facial features, he could control the basic distinction between handsome and ugly.

To create a clear difference from his original self, Xu Mu reduced his height by five centimeters, bringing him to one hundred and eighty centimeters.

His face also changed accordingly; still with long hair, he transformed into a living, breathing image of a classically handsome man.

However, his clothes changed into a black suit.

"Not bad."

Xu Mu got out of the car and walked towards the exit.

Currently, although the Dai family was no longer pursuing Dai Xingluo, she was still in Jiang City sparring and training with Meng Wanyue.

There was nowhere to go in Yang City either, so he ended up killing time in a shopping mall until around six or seven in the evening.

Feeling the time was about right, Xu Mu headed back to the hotel where the Dai family was staying.

Upon entering the lobby, he looked at a security guard standing nearby, "My name is Jiao Jun. I'm here to see the Dai family."

Hearing the name, the security guard immediately stepped forward respectfully, "Mr. Jiao, please follow me."
