A loud and clear voice suddenly rang out from the entrance, immediately causing everyone in the inn's lobby to be startled as they all turned to look outside!
Even Lu An and the young lady were surprised, but they were blocked by the crowd when they turned around. Lu An did not need to do anything, as the young lady forced her way through the crowd and shouted, "Don't block the way, I still have to welcome guests!"
The young lady forced her way through, allowing Lu An to see the entrance. When he saw the situation at the entrance, he was shocked again!
It was not one person, but a group of people!
Similarly, there were more than ten people standing at the entrance, completely blocking the entrance of the inn.
The two sides faced each other, but the people at the entrance were not afraid of the people in the hall, their eyes full of fighting spirit. What really shocked Lu An was not the arrival of another group of people, but the identity of this group of people.
None of them were wearing masks, so everyone's faces were exposed. More importantly, Lu An knew many of them.
For example, the person who stood in front of everyone and spoke just now was … Fu Minghe.
Among the Fu Clan's Heaven Realm cultivators, he was ranked in the top five.
Not only the Fu Clan, but there were also people from the Gao Clan and the Li Clan, but no other clans. This meant that it was highly possible that the three clans were working together in this operation, and not all of the Hachiko clan were working together. Moreover, Lu An had reason to believe that these people were under the command of his wife, and that his wife had asked them to come.
The people from the three clans strode into the hall, completely ignoring the nineteen people surrounding Lu An. They sat at a few tables and said to the young lady, "Boss, prepare some side dishes for us, and let us try Planet Zhuo's specialties!"
"Okay!" The young lady was very happy and said cutely, "Please wait a moment!"
As she spoke, the young lady ran to the kitchen to prepare, while Fu Minghe and the rest turned to look at the nineteen people surrounding Lu An. Fu Minghe spoke again, but this time to his companions, "I say, everyone, Planet Zhuo is within the Heavenly Galaxy, and the entire Heavenly Galaxy is our Hachiko clan's territory. If someone bullies people in our territory, we can't just sit by and do nothing, right? "
"Of course!" Someone immediately said with a smile, "It just so happens that my hands have been itching recently. I really want to fight!"
"…"
The group of people surrounding Lu An became even more solemn. The other party had brazenly revealed his identity, causing their hearts to sink. If they were on the battlefield, they wouldn't be afraid. But here, they were indeed afraid.
They were both from the Spirit Race, and they were operating in secret. The other party was operating openly, and reinforcements could arrive at any time. When the Hachiko clan appeared here, they should have retreated immediately. Otherwise, the Hachiko clan could send people to surround this place at any time, and they would be in danger of losing their lives.
Taking a step back, even if there were no reinforcements, these people would not dare to fight with Fu Minghe and the others. The reason was simple: there was an absolute difference in strength.
Fu Minghe didn't bother concealing his aura. He released it outwards, shocking the nineteen Spirit Race people. Their strength was not strong, otherwise, this man would not have been caught by Lu An by the wrist and unable to break free. In the top clans, those in the early stages of the Heaven Tier would be arranged to carry out a series of public missions, and those in the middle stages would carry out secret missions. When one became a powerful Heaven Tier, or even a top-tier Heaven Tier, they would not carry out missions all the time, especially not missions that were too dangerous. This was because they needed to ensure the number of top-tier Heaven Tier elites. These people all had the possibility of entering the Heavenly King Stage, so they couldn't be wasted unless absolutely necessary. Thus, missions like scouting and gathering intelligence in the Heavenly Star River would naturally not be given to top-tier Heaven Tier elites.
The nineteen people definitely didn't believe that these people from the Hachiko clan didn't know their identities. Otherwise, they wouldn't be acting like this, and they wouldn't have said what they had just said.
The man looked at his companions and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"
The group didn't turn back and immediately walked towards the inn's door. Soon, they all disappeared from the inn. After the nineteen people left, the surrounded Lu An was naturally exposed to the eyes of Fu Minghe and the others. In reality, it was indeed the Fu Clan, the Gao Clan, and the Li Clan that had come here to gather intelligence. However, it wasn't the young master's order, but the clan leader's. They didn't know that Lu An was here, so they just looked at the masked man curiously.
The masked man also looked at them, but quickly stood up, placed the money on the table, and left. He also walked out of the inn's door.
This scene surprised Fu Minghe and the others. They had just announced that they were from the Hachiko clan. Why did the masked man leave without saying a word? In the Heavenly Star River, as long as the Hachiko clan announced their clan, they would definitely receive the highest level of treatment. After all, the Hachiko clan was the ruler of the Heavenly Star River.
Strange.
Fu Minghe looked at his companions. Immediately, one of the Fu Clan members nodded and left the inn. He chased after the masked man, ready to ask him what was going on. As for the others, they didn't need to investigate personally. They just needed to wait here.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Minghe raised his hand to seal the surrounding space and prepared to talk to the people at the same table. At the table were the Li Clan's captain, Li Suixin, and the Gao Clan's captain, Gao Lu. They were here to represent their respective clans on this mission. The information came from the Fu Clan, but they only knew that there was information about 90,000 years of history here. They didn't know anything else. However, the upper echelons of the Fu Clan placed great importance on this matter, so they had no choice but to do the same.
"That person just now should be from the Spirit Race." Fu Minghe said in a low voice, "The information given by the upper echelons is indeed correct. There are people from the Spirit Race on Zhuoxuan Planet, and they are most likely from one of the top clans."
"Yes." Li Suixin nodded and said, "But the upper echelons don't want us to have any serious conflicts with them, let alone fight them. This is really strange. Just those people from the Spirit Race just now, we could have killed them all and not let any of them leave alive. Letting them all go is really a bit of a waste. "
"The upper echelons definitely know more than us. If they don't want us to do anything, we won't do anything." Gao Lu had the calm personality of the Gao Clan. He said, "Time is of the essence. Let's ask that young girl later and see if she knows anything. Since the upper echelons don't want us to chase the Spirit Race away, we have to get ahead of them. "
"Okay."
The members of the Hachiko clan were discussing in the main hall. Meanwhile, Lu An, who had just walked out of the inn, was walking on the streets. He realized that there were not many members of the Hachiko clan on the streets. He thought that there would be many, but there were actually very few of them. However, these people were different from the Spirit Race. They did not hide their auras and were very strong. The number of masked people walking on the streets had decreased by a lot. Now, it was the members of the Hachiko clan who were interrogating people one by one. Only the Hachiko clan and the Spirit Race had the right to carry out interrogations on any planet in the Milky Way. The other clans and powers did not have the ability to do so.
At this moment, Lu An suddenly felt an aura approaching him from behind. He did not take the initiative to sense it, but the other party's aura enveloped him, so he had no choice but to sense it.
"Sir, please wait!" The member of the Fu Clan shouted.
Lu An stopped when he heard this. He turned to look at the person behind him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The Hachiko clan would like to know who you are and what your relationship is with the group of people just now. Why did they surround you?" The person immediately asked.
"I'm just a passerby." Lu An said honestly. "They don't want me to stay in this city and threatened me to leave. I didn't agree, so they wanted to attack me."
The member of the Fu Clan frowned slightly. He believed the reason for the dispute, but the masked man in front of him did not reveal his background and only said that he was just a passerby. That was too suspicious. Who would wear such a mask as a passerby? It did not make sense for a Heaven Tier cultivator to come to a nameless public planet and hide his identity.
The other party was lying. The member of the Fu Clan knew that even if he exposed the other party, he would not tell the truth. He asked, "If you're just a passerby, when do you plan to leave Planet Zhuoxuan?"
"I don't know." Lu An's tone obviously had a hint of amusement and curiosity. He said, "So many strong martial artists suddenly appeared on this planet, and the Hachiko clan even appeared. It seems like there's something very important on Planet Zhuoxuan. How can I leave when I know that there's treasure here? Unless … the Hachiko clan doesn't allow me to stay on this planet. "
"…"
The member of the Fu Clan looked at the masked man with a serious expression. The orders given to them were not to expel anyone, and this person would not disobey orders. He said, "If you want to stay here, we naturally won't stop you. However, let me give you a piece of advice. Curiosity killed the cat. Being too curious is not a good thing. "
"Alright." Lu An smiled and said, "I'll remember that."
