Chapter 1733: This is a Probe

"So, are you... not going to take action yourself to deal with him? Wouldn't that save a lot of future trouble?"

Yamamoto Shangming's tone remained cautious.

He spoke in a probing, questioning tone because he and Qiu Mingtai had already sensed that Jiutun's power was not as strong as they had imagined.

Now they wanted to figure out if this guy's strength was inferior to Chen Yu's.

Jiutun's expression changed slightly, then immediately returned to normal. He said indifferently, "What is my status? Does a mere Chen Yu require me to take action myself?"

"Remember, you are my slaves. I created you to solve problems for me. If you can't even handle this, then what use do I have for you?"

Jiutun's tone was flat, yet carried a sense of natural authority that made his words sound reasonable and well-founded.

Indeed, he was Jiutun, the greatest deity currently worshipped by the God Lord's path.

What he said was indeed logical; if he had to do everything himself, then what was the point of him creating the God Lord's path?

Chen Yu was merely a Dharma Cultivator. If even a Dharma Cultivator required him to take action personally, then what use did he have for these slaves?

Yet, when he spoke, he was clearly somewhat guilty. Although the movement on his face was subtle, it was still captured by his two shrewd subordinates.

"Yes, Master. What you say is very reasonable. It is our incompetence." Yamamoto Zhengming bowed repeatedly, admitting his own faults.

"Master, please rest assured. We have already deployed all our forces to monitor Chen Yu. As long as Chen Yu makes the slightest move, we will know immediately."

Qiu Mingtai also bowed and said, "We will definitely deal with him and resolve these worries for you, Master."

"Go. In the coming days, I want to hear some good news. You had better pray that no bad news occurs; otherwise, some unpleasant things might happen between us."

"Please rest assured, Master. Those things will definitely not happen. I guarantee it." The two bowed and nodded repeatedly, then retreated.

After leaving the door, the two hurried down the mountain, and the respectful expressions on their faces vanished completely.

"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?" Qiu Mingtai narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yamamoto Zhengming beside him.

"I think he is afraid of Chen Yu." Yamamoto Zhengming's expression was somewhat serious; although this fact shocked him, it was indeed the reality.

When it was mentioned that he should come forward to deal with Chen Yu, the expression on Jiutun's face was clearly different.

Although those expressions were very subtle, they could not escape the eyes of these two cunning old foxes.

They concluded that Jiutun was somewhat afraid of Chen Yu; otherwise, he would not have let Chen Yu live until now while remaining indifferent.

"Yes, I think so too." Qiu Mingtai nodded and said, "When Chen Yu was mentioned, his expression was hesitant, and there was fear in his eyes. Could it be... he is afraid of Chen Yu?"

"But that's not realistic. Chen Yu is just a Dharma Cultivator. Even if Chen Yu is powerful, Jiutun is a true deity." Yamamoto Zhengming's brows were also tightly locked.

Regarding this matter, he was truly unable to find an answer; he could not understand the relationship between Jiutun and Chen Yu at all.

"Let's think of a way to probe him again," Qiu Mingtai said. "This matter must be clarified."

"If we are wrong, then we will serve him wholeheartedly as our master in the future, but if we are right..."

Qiu Mingtai stopped speaking there, a trace of an extremely sinister expression appearing on his face.

The two old foxes had a tacit understanding. Jiutun probably didn't know that the slaves he raised were now plotting against him, and his position was in jeopardy.

Chen Yu temporarily put the matter of Jiutun aside because he had more important things to do.

Kawasaki Changye and Chen Yu were still in that small tavern.

The current Kawasaki Changye had shed his previous decadent image of a bastard son waiting to die.

Although he still looked somewhat dissolute, his spirit and energy were different. Because of Chen Yu's appearance, he seemed to have found a direction in life and felt more confident about his future path.

"Mr. Chen, I have received news that Yichuan Ping is interacting with some people from the West. They are very close and seem to be discussing a deal," Kawasaki Changye said.

"What kind of deal?" Chen Yu asked.

"I'm not sure, but the other party is the heir to a Western family. This family is a pharmaceutical family that made its fortune through human body research," Kawasaki Changye said. "In their early years, they were even involved in organ harvesting."

"Although they have cleaned up their image now, the things their family has done can never be covered up."

"You mean they are trafficking human organs?" Chen Yu's brows locked tightly.

He had just dealt with a group of people related to the God Lord. These people sent living humans directly to the God Lord, but these guys usually trafficked drugs and were somewhat amateurish at trafficking people, which was how they were caught.

But the group Yichuan Ping was with now seemed unusual. They were professional human traffickers. Could these people be related to the God Lord?

"I'm not sure about that. In the mid-20th century, the Shikulai Family was involved in this trade. At that time, medicine was developing rapidly, so they needed a large number of people for drug experiments," Kawasaki Changye said.

So their family acted as an intermediary, working very closely with major research institutions. They not only sold organs but even living people, and they also undertook various experimental projects.

"The Shikulai Family, I know of them." A sharp glint flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.

This family was a hidden family with immense power and significant influence in the Western World.

Moreover, their family now monopolized a large portion of the Western medicine market, and their history of rising to power was just as Kawasaki Changye said—not very honorable.

So, with them coming here at this time, Chen Yu had reason to link them to the God Lord.

And since the God Lord was so urgently in need of living subjects, he must be carrying out an extremely grand plan, but what this plan was, Chen Yu did not know.

"Mr. Chen knows them? This family is a reclusive family and is very low-key, but they control many things behind the scenes and can even influence the political direction of some small countries," Kawasaki Changye said.

"That is secondary. The important thing is their purpose for coming here," Chen Yu muttered to himself. "They have certainly come at the right time."
