After several days of searching, Ye Yu still had not found a suitable target in the western region of the God Realm.

Everywhere he went, there were either too few people or cultivators whose realms were far too low.

Joining an alliance like that would be nothing more than a waste of time.

As a result, Ye Yu had already begun considering whether he should head to the northern region of the God Realm instead.

Before leaving, however, he wanted to make one final effort.

For example, finding a member of the God Clan and asking for information.

Floating among the clouds, Ye Yu scanned the surroundings.

Soon, he spotted an elderly man riding atop a giant goat, leisurely making his way forward.

The old man looked completely relaxed and carefree.

He was probably a genuine member of the God Clan.

Whatever.

No harm in trying.

If he still could not find a suitable place, he would simply continue his search elsewhere.

With that thought, Ye Yu flashed forward and quickly appeared before the old man, blocking the giant goat's path.

"Greetings, fellow cultivator. I'd like to ask you something. Would that be convenient?"

Hearing this, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

After looking Ye Yu up and down, he replied,

"What do you want to know?"

"I'd like to ask which Divine Alliance in the western God Realm has the largest membership and the greatest strength."

Ye Yu got straight to the point.

At the same time, he tossed over ten divine stones.

Money moved people's hearts.

His request was simple.

If the old man knew something useful, then say it.

If he didn't know, then just admit it.

No need to waste each other's time.

The old man raised an eyebrow.

After catching the ten divine stones and weighing them lightly in his hand, he asked a completely unrelated question.

"What is it? Made enemies outside and looking for a larger sect to shelter you?"

Too lazy to explain, Ye Yu simply went along with it.

"You could say that."

The old man immediately pocketed the ten divine stones.

"Fine. Since you're so honest, I'll point you toward the right path."

"The strongest Divine Alliance in the western God Realm is the Divine Beast Tower."

"They have a vast number of God Clan members and even more divine beasts. Their specialty is commanding divine beasts in battle."

"As for me, Lu Banchui, I'm one of the Divine Beast Tower's members."

He glanced toward his mount.

"I noticed you've been looking at my divine beast quite a bit. What? Thinking about getting one yourself?"

Ye Yu's eyes immediately lit up.

A lot of divine beasts?

Excellent.

Divine Touch worked on divine beasts as well.

As for Lu Banchui claiming Ye Yu wanted his goat, that was complete nonsense.

Yes, Ye Yu had looked at it many times.

The problem was that he hadn't been looking at it with envy.

He had been looking at it with disgust.

The giant goat kept blowing bubbles and drooling nonstop.

Ye Yu had been genuinely worried that some filthy liquid would splash onto him.

That was why he kept watching it.

Otherwise, who would stare at something so ugly?

It wasn't even as clean as Xiao Bai.

Of course, none of that could be said aloud.

He still needed Lu Banchui to lead the way.

With a faint smile, Ye Yu said,

"You're right, fellow cultivator. I would indeed like a divine beast companion."

"I wonder whether you have the time to introduce me to your Divine Alliance?"

Lu Banchui did not answer immediately.

Instead, he rubbed his fingertips together.

"As the strongest Divine Alliance in the western God Realm, the Divine Beast Tower has very high standards."

"Getting someone in isn't easy."

"Even if I personally spoke to the alliance leader, it wouldn't look good for me to go empty-handed."

The hint could not have been more obvious.

How could Ye Yu fail to understand?

He immediately expressed that if he were successfully admitted into the Divine Beast Tower, he would certainly offer a generous reward afterward.

To be honest, Ye Yu was not afraid of Lu Banchui asking for benefits.

Large Divine Alliances always had requirements for entry.

If Lu Banchui was willing to ask for something, that meant he had a way to get Ye Yu inside.

That said—

The reward would not be paid now.

Only after the matter was completed.

This old fox was not going to trick him into handing over benefits in advance.

A few words and you expect payment already?

Dream on.

The smile on Lu Banchui's face became noticeably brighter.

Immediately, he led Ye Yu northward.

Along the way, he shared quite a bit of information about the Divine Beast Tower.

Its history.

Its inheritance.

And all kinds of interesting divine beasts.

As a result, much of Ye Yu's vigilance gradually eased.

After all, lies were difficult to fabricate in such detail.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the edge of a valley.

Below them was nothing but a sea of clouds.

According to Lu Banchui, a formation barrier lay ahead.

Once opened, it would reveal the true appearance of the Divine Beast Tower.

Ye Yu frowned slightly.

He could indeed sense a formation barrier ahead.

But it did not feel like the barrier of a major Divine Alliance.

The arrangement seemed somewhat crude.

Not particularly sophisticated.

Noticing Ye Yu's serious expression, Lu Banchui chuckled.

"What? Still have questions?"

"Or do you think I deceived you?"

Although doubts lingered in his mind, Ye Yu instinctively wanted to answer no.

Before he could speak, however, Lu Banchui suddenly got straight to the point.

"Not bad. Quite vigilant."

"You're right. I did deceive you."

"I brought you here simply because I wanted you to meet an old acquaintance."

Ye Yu was stunned.

Seriously?

You're just admitting it outright?

Was deceiving people really this natural to him?

The next moment, a burly figure descended from the sky.

And surprisingly enough—

It really was an acquaintance.

Ding Biao, the squad supervisor from the swamp.

Looking at Ye Yu, he grinned broadly.

"Kid, it's been a long time."

"Remember me?"

"My impression of you is still incredibly deep."

"You actually slapped Lady Jin across the face twice."

"Now that's something."

As he spoke, Ding Biao raised a thumbs-up.

Ye Yu, however, did not respond.

Instead, he turned toward Lu Banchui.

"I'm curious."

"You went through all this trouble just to hand me over to the swamp?"

"Isn't that a little too complicated?"

"Wouldn't it have been easier to just capture me directly?"

"Did you really need to invent so many stories?"

Lu Banchui shook his head slightly.

His eyes were filled with amusement.

"I didn't invent any stories."

"The Divine Beast Tower truly exists."

"And I genuinely am one of its members."

"It's just that I happen to have some old connections with Lady Jin."

"I'm merely doing her a favor."

"Since it's only a favor, I don't particularly want to dirty my own hands."

"So I called him over instead."

After a brief pause, he smiled again.

"Though honestly, I am curious."

"According to Lady Jin, just a few months ago you were only in the New God Realm."

"And now you've jumped all the way to the Heavenly God Realm."

"What sort of opportunity did you encounter during that time?"

Ye Yu chuckled.

"You want to know?"

"Let me slap you twice first, and then I'll tell you."

Lu Banchui was not angered in the slightest.

He merely smiled calmly.

"The God Clan really are as clueless as ever."

"If you don't want to talk, that's fine."

"In a little while, after I search your soul, I'll know everything anyway."
