After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu's eyebrows were deeply furrowed; he had never heard of this place before.

Looking at the marked location on the map, it should be in the northwest desert.

How could there possibly be a valley in such a desolate area?

Just as he was perplexed, the relevant personnel had already arrived at the scene and took away those who had fainted.

"Mr. Chen, are you alright?"

Most of these people recognized Chen Yu, so naturally, they didn't treat him like a bad person.

Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively and didn't say much, just took his boarding pass and hurried to the boarding gate.

But just as he was about to leave, his phone suddenly rang.

"Son-in-law, have you received the invitation from Dongming Valley yet?"

Chen Yu was taken aback, "Was the invitation sent by you?"

The voice of Tong Ming sounded very grave, "I don't have that qualification, but that place is the entrance to a mysterious organization in the East. You can go check it out, and by the way, compare it with the Knights of the Round Table."

Chen Yu felt somewhat bewildered; he had heard from Tong Ming before that there were many organizations in the world like the Knights of the Round Table.

He didn't expect to receive an invitation from another organization so soon.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu cancelled his previous plane ticket and exchanged it for one to the northwest.

On the map of the northwest, no matter what, Dongming Valley could not be found.

Even the place marked on the map was an endless desert; looking for a valley in such an area seemed like a fool's errand.

After getting off the airplane, Chen Yu immediately bought an off-road vehicle from a nearby dealership and headed straight for the northwest desert.

Following the map's directions, he drove for an entire day before finally arriving at a small town.

This place was extremely remote; if it weren't for the markings on the map, it would probably be impossible to find.

Chen Yu found an open space to park his vehicle, but instead of entering the village immediately, he used the system to scan the entire village.

When the three-dimensional image of the entire village appeared in Chen Yu's mind, he did not hesitate for a moment; this place didn't seem as desolate and simple as it appeared on the surface.

All the houses were essentially connected, with no courtyards or fences set up between the households.

Chen Yu became immediately alert. He adjusted his breathing slightly and entered the village with great caution. After only a few steps, he was stopped by two young men blocking his path.

"Sorry, we don't receive outsiders here. Please, sir, walk northwards a bit. There is a small city over there."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chen Yu chuckled lightly.

"It's already so late in the day, and the roads in the desert are not easy to navigate. If a sandstorm hits, wouldn't I be finished right here?"

"Besides, that small city is at least three hundred miles from here; how do you expect me to get there?"

The two young men didn't care about such details. They took out short swords from their garments, ready to make a move.

"This gentleman is my guest, please let him in," said a delicate yet somewhat domineering voice, leaving Chen Yu somewhat astonished.

He could never have dreamed that Jin Lingsu would be here.

After the issue with the Strait of Magellan had been resolved, Jin Lingsu went there, using her influence to mediate conflicts between various organizations.

In theory, that was a massive project, one she might well spend her whole life dealing with.

The two young men no longer obstructed and cleared the way.

Just as Chen Yu was letting down his guard, Jin Lingsu immediately grabbed his arm and hurried into a house.

Relatively speaking, this structure was the largest in the village, and the space inside was even more vast.

A few simple tables and chairs were placed inside the room, along with a counter, making it a small tavern.

"Weren't you at the Magellan Strait?"

As soon as Chen Yu sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

Jin Lingsu took a sip of her drink.

"Do I look like someone who stays in one place forever? Just find a professional to handle things there!"

Chen Yu grabbed some lamb from the table and took a bite.

"So, what brings you here?"

Jin Lingsu pulled out a map from her clothing.

"The whole world knows by now that there is a haven in this desert, where one can find the secret to immortality. People from all the major organizations have come here, even William's family has sent their experts."

Chen Yu's face slightly changed, his heart suddenly roiled with shock.

Immortality was what the members of the Knights of the Round Table pursued all their lives. If Jin Lingsu knew about it, those old men couldn't possibly be unaware.

Yet up to now, he hadn't received any news!

This could only mean one thing—the Knights of the Round Table were keeping it from him.

If he thought about it carefully, the reason he was exceptionally invited to join was to help them develop an elixir for extending life.

Once those old men mastered that technique, they wouldn't hesitate to kick him out of the game.

Exhaling a heavy breath, Chen Yu picked up his bowl and gulped down a mouthful of wine.

"How could there be a method for immortality in this world, these people really dare to believe anything."

Jin Lingsu shrugged, "Honestly, I don't believe it either, but since so many are here, I just came to join in the excitement. Who knows, I might even make some extra money on the side."

That was very much in line with Jin Lingsu's character; apart from money, she cared little for anything else.

"Did you come here alone?" Chen Yu asked unconsciously.

"I don't like having so many people follow me!" Jin Lingsu took out a token from her clothing and placed it on the table: "This is the tavern's identity token. You can only stay here if you have it. I'll give you the room next to mine."

As they were speaking, two burly men suddenly barged in. They threw their identity tokens on the table and started to shout.

"Innkeeper, hurry with the food, we still have to hit the road after eating!"

The waiter didn't dare to delay and quickly served up the good wine and meat.

The two men had rugged facial features and were dressed in extremely simple clothing, giving off a primitive vibe.

On their shoulders were wolf-shaped tattoos, which looked very dominating.

The weapons they carried were even more astonishing; they were two huge Wolf Fang Clubs.

Each weighed over a thousand pounds; a blow from one could turn a person into pulp.

"I never expected to encounter these two here; I still have a score to settle with them!"

Seemingly on a whim, Jin Lingsu stood up and walked straight over to them.

When the two men saw Jin Lingsu, they too were taken aback.

They hurriedly picked up their Wolf Fang Clubs, their eyes filled with wariness.

"Jin Lingsu, what are you doing here? Weren't you at the Magellan Strait? Are you also interested in that thing?"

Jin Lingsu didn't respond but drew a golden spike from her clothing, and with a flash, she charged at them. In the next moment, the spike was pressed against one of the men's necks.
