Hearing these words, Zhou Yu was stunned.

"What did you say?" Zhou Yu thought he had misheard and asked again.

Lin Yinfly seemed to be trembling all over, and said:

"I can hardly believe it myself. I've reconfirmed it several times."

"It's indeed an order personally given by Pavilion Master Xiao."

For a moment, Zhou Yu felt like his brain had crashed.

What's going on here?

A vast Martial Pavilion, just said to be dissolved, is dissolved?

Is it such child's play?

No!

It will never be such child's play.

The more serious the matter, sometimes the more absurd it appears.

The other way around, the more absurd something appears, the more it hints at significant matters behind it.

Something monumental must have happened.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yinfly, and said:

"You go out first."

"I need to properly digest this matter."

Hearing this, Lin Yinfly had no choice but to step out.

As soon as Lin Yinfly left, Zhou Yu immediately took out his phone, preparing to dial Xiao Ce's number.

To figure out what had happened, he still needed to ask Xiao Ce directly.

However, before he could dial out, Xiao Ce's call had already come in.

"Zhou Yu."

As soon as Xiao Ce spoke, Zhou Yu felt an unprecedented heavy atmosphere.

"Elder Xiao, I was just about to call you. I just got word that the Martial Pavilion is to be dissolved?"

Xiao Ce sighed and said:

"This time, things are indeed very troublesome. Although I am the pavilion master, there's nothing I can do to stop it. I can only temporarily have the main personnel of the Martial Pavilion disband, waiting for the right moment."

"So, it's not a dissolution?"

"No, it's not, but it's almost the same."

"This move of mine may work in the short term, but over time, some people might lose patience and really leave."

"The Martial Pavilion that I've managed for decades may indeed be disbanded."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.

"Elder Xiao, what exactly happened? Why did things suddenly turn out this way?"

Xiao Ce was silent for a moment, then spoke with a grave tone:

"Zhou Yu, you need to be careful from now on."

"Some people in the Capital City have set their eyes on you."

Zhou Yu's pupils slightly contracted.

"Elder Xiao, are you saying this happened because of me?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said:

"Actually, the upper echelons of the Capital City have been watching you for a long time."

"However, their attitude towards you has never been clear. Quite a few people want to protect you, especially the Ye Family."

"But the recent drastic changes in Hu City have also made the upper echelons change their minds rapidly."

"Old Ye, along with the entire Ye Family, is probably already under restriction."

"And my Martial Pavilion is also facing division and liquidation, so I ordered a preemptive disbandment to break into parts, awaiting the right time."

"In fact, this time I indeed miscalculated."

"When I agreed to transfer you to Hu City, it was with my consent."

"According to my plan, to make a mark in Hu City, you would need at least three to five years."

"But I did not expect that in less than a year, you have grown to this extent."

"As a result, it's inevitable that the upper echelons would focus on you."

"Everything about you might already be thoroughly investigated by them."

Hearing these words, shock was written all over Zhou Yu's eyes.

He hadn't expected that his dealing with the Hu City forces would have such a significant impact.

For a moment, Zhou Yu felt a bit conflicted inside.

Xiao Ce's words contained so much information that Zhou Yu had a hard time digesting it.

But then, Zhou Yu recalled what Xiao Ce had just said.

"Elder Xiao, you just said that everything about me has been thoroughly investigated by them."

"Whom do you mean by 'them'?"

"The top families in the Capital City?"

Xiao Ce shook his head and said:

"The top families in the Capital City are far from being able to change the entire stance of the Dragon Country."

"By 'them', I mean the people in the Heavenly King Sea."

"The Heavenly King Sea?"

Zhou Yu frowned.

He had seen this name several times on TV.

But when reported on TV, it usually only touched on societal matters, and in his impression, the Heavenly King Sea was an institution responsible for decision-making in the livelihood sector of the Dragon Country.

"Does the Heavenly King Sea also manage matters of the Martial Arts World?"

Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

Xiao Ce said in a deep voice:

"Zhou Yu, you may not fully understand yet."

"The greatest power of the Heavenly King Sea is their absolute martial arts strength."

"This is the foundation of their control over the Dragon Country."

"The Ten Great Divine Kings are all from the Heavenly King Sea."

"What the Heavenly King Sea can't tolerate the most is the emergence of uncontrollable power."

"And you, after the incident in Hu City, are now seen in their eyes as potentially growing into uncontrollable power in the future."

"So, do you understand now?"

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yu finally understood a bit.

Turns out, it's the Heavenly King Sea behind all this mischief.

However, thinking it over carefully, his restructuring of the Hu City might indeed have happened too swiftly. Even the high-level personnel within the Hu City Martial Pavilion still found it hard to believe.

Forget it.

There's no point in thinking about this now.

"Elder Xiao, one last question."

"You mentioned earlier that everything about me has been investigated thoroughly."

"What do you mean by 'everything'?"

Xiao Ce said slowly:

"Everything refers to your background!"

"The person behind you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's expression shook.

"The old man?"

The identity of the old man, to be honest, Zhou Yu didn't know even now.

How did the people from the Heavenly King Sea investigate it thoroughly?

Zhou Yu was just about to ask when suddenly, a few forceful auras suddenly descended.

Along with it came a shout.

"Zhou Yu, get out!"
