On the other side, responsible for monitoring the family area for any possible ambushes from an incoming team, was a squad led by Hu Jiu, accompanied by Xia Yu as well as Jin He Xuan and Long Jin, who were dispatched from the Dragon Realm to assist. Since there were already seven Tier Nine Superpower Users stationed in the family area, the investigation department did not send additional experts.
Pei Yan, not aware of any anomalies in the family area, arrived at the prearranged transaction location with a nervous heart. This place was chosen after Mei Simiao's repeated negotiations with the other party. It was located where the space barrier between the Magic and Foundation Planes was relatively thin, surrounded by vast, uncultivated wilderness. Here, the investigation department could advance and retreat with ease, and even if a confrontation occurred during the transaction, the sparse environment meant that no innocents would be harmed.
