Zhao Yunhai had already brought Yang Fan to Haizhou, as magic was the only thing that could counter magic besides himself.
Protagonist versus protagonist, what kind of chemical reaction would occur? To be honest, Zhao Yunhai was very much looking forward to it.
Zhao Yunhai did not see himself as an executioner who personally killed protagonists every day; otherwise, where would he find the extra time to fulfill his ambitions?
Arranging for Yang Fan to go was also a form of experimentation for Zhao Yunhai.
If it was effective, then great. If not, he would suffer no loss.
Hearing him speak, it seemed like it could be resolved in a short time, and Yang Hui's reluctance gradually lessened. She wasn't the type to cling to him like a shadow.
Seeing him lost in thought without speaking, Yang Hui was reluctant to disturb him, so she took out her phone and looked at the spoils of war she had secretly captured today.
Meanwhile, Ah Da had also successfully subdued the suspicious man.
"You two did well this time. It seems it's time for the three of us to go back and train for a while."
Ah Da looked at the subdued mysterious man and felt that their current strength was insufficient to serve Young Master Yun.
Du Lü and Lü Boyun had not been called away after completing their mission that day; Ah Da had kept them behind.
The two of them had good strength, and Young Master Yun was currently lacking in high-level martial artists. The only thing these two lacked was absolute loyalty to Young Master Yun.
The Zhao clan's intuition was the most sensitive in all of Kyushu. The Zhao clan had already detected that more and more martial artists were emerging.
The subtle changes in the times prompted the Zhao clan to inform Ah Da, instructing Ah Da and the other two to return and upgrade their strength.
Ah Da and the other two had decent talent; they had simply spent too long protecting Zhao Yunhai and too little time cultivating themselves.
However, Zhao Hongwen was not at ease leaving Du Lü and Lü Boyun to protect his son alone. He would definitely assign two powerful martial artists loyal to the family to temporarily replace Ah Da and the other two.
Ah Da looked at Ah Er and gave him instructions.
"You and Du Lü will take this person back. Make them open their mouth; Young Master Yun needs to know who is behind this."
"As you command." Du Lü cupped his hands.
"Good." Ah Er and Ah San nodded.
Lü Boyun remained silent beside them. Although he and Du Lü did not receive substantial rewards after completing this mission, they had gained an opportunity to get closer to Young Master Yun.
This was more valuable than immediate rewards.
Especially when he learned that Ah Da and the other two were going back to train their martial arts, Lü Boyun was overjoyed. Wasn't this his chance to become Young Master Yun's confidant?
As long as he became Young Master Yun's confidant, improving his strength would be a mere word from Young Master Yun.
The martial artist subdued by the five people was an assassin named Xue Kuang, who ranked among the top ten in the assassin world.
Now, Xue Kuang was like the people he had killed before, like a lamb awaiting slaughter. He wanted to commit suicide, but he didn't even have the chance.
Xue Kuang only hoped that he wouldn't reveal anything. Even if he died, he wouldn't implicate his sworn brother, Yun Yi.
Xue Kuang had previously accepted a contract to assassinate Zhang Yunyi. During the assassination attempt, he was so impressed by Zhang Yunyi's character and bearing that he eventually became Zhang Yunyi's good brother.
Upon learning that his sworn brother Yun Yi had been framed by Zhao Yunhai, he did not inform Yun Yi of his actions. He took it upon himself to come to Yan Jing to assassinate Zhao Yunhai.
He hadn't achieved anything before dying. Before he could even make a move, he was captured by Zhao Yunhai's bodyguards.
How did these people discover him? He had clearly disguised himself well.
Xue Kuang was very confused.
When Xue Kuang was taken to a mysterious place, he understood what the living hell was, what it meant to wish for death over life.
In just one hour, Xue Kuang personally experienced what torture was. When the screen in front of him showed the next torture to be inflicted, he cried out and confessed.
This torture was called "The Water of the Milky Way."
The so-called Water of the Milky Way involved cutting open your scalp and pouring mercury into the skin sac, allowing it to merge with your flesh and bone.
Xue Kuang had watched the documentary of this torture with his own eyes, and his mind instantly collapsed.
Sworn brother Yun Yi, I hope you will forgive me for my death.
Xue Kuang had his entire skin peeled off while he was still conscious, by a torturer who showed no change in expression.
Xue Kuang's fate for attempting to assassinate Zhao Yunhai, the heir to the Zhao clan, was to be imprisoned in a jar and subjected to daily torment until his life was extinguished.
Furthermore, Xue Kuang's relatives and friends would pay the price for his actions. The Zhao clan's revenge was something no one could withstand.
......
After returning from the amusement park, Zhao Yunhai saw Ah Da and the other two who had come to see him. "You three are going back?"
Ah Da lowered his head with deep shame and said, "Young Master Yun, the times have changed. The strength of future martial artists will increase, and our abilities are no longer sufficient to protect you."
Ah Er and Ah San lowered their heads with great reluctance, their emotions very low.
Insufficient personal strength was a sin in itself.
Zhao Yunhai looked at the three of them and slowly said, "You three have protected me for many years, and your contributions and hard work have been considerable. I will speak to my father and have them provide you with the best resources for your cultivation."
"When your strength improves, come back and stay by my side."
Zhao Yunhai still felt that the three of them were handy and pleasant to work with, so he wouldn't abandon them just like that and replace them with others.
Ah Da and the other two were not lacking in talent; they had simply spent too long protecting him and had no time to cultivate.
Now that they were going back to cultivate diligently in seclusion, they would surely return as powerful martial artists, benefiting from the accumulation of their efforts.
"As you command."
Ah Da and the other two were most worried about being abandoned by Young Master Yun. Now that they had his words, they could finally return to cultivate in peace for a period of time.
After making a phone call to his father, two people would be arranged to temporarily replace Ah Da the next day.
Although Lü Boyun and Du Lü were at the peak of the Hua Jin stage, their loyalty was still insufficient. The most important factor when employing someone by one's side was loyalty, followed by ability.
However, those two were still usable, and he would observe them for a period.
If they proved to be skillful and sufficiently loyal, Zhao Yunhai would still keep Lü Boyun and Du Lü by his side.
After all, loyalty could not be gained overnight; it had to be tested over time.
As for the suspicious man who had been tracking him, he turned out to be an assassin, possessing the strength of the peak of the An Jin stage.
What surprised Zhao Yunhai even more was that he had a close relationship with Zhang Yunyi.
How interesting!
The next day, his family directly arranged for two martial artists at the peak of the Gang Jin stage to come.
Zhao Hongwen attached great importance to his son's safety. Martial artists were the root of unrest.
The increasing frequency of martial artists appearing in the world naturally aroused Zhao Hongwen's vigilance.
The Zhao clan had deep reserves, and they could even produce congenital and post-natal martial artists.
However, they were not needed for now, so there was no need to waste resources.
