Zhao Yu immediately called Li Bo.
Are Hao Yu Wei and Yang Hui Yan really dead?” As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Yu went straight to the point.
Li Bo was silent for a moment before he could revealed the truth to him “Zhao Yu, I’m sorry for your loss. Their bodies are now parked in my Li family’s residence. I’ve already arranged for them to be frozen…”
“Did Li Tian Ba really do it?!” Zhao Yu asked in a deep voice.
“It’s him…”
“I know you’re angry and want to revenge, but it’s probably fruitless.” Li Bo shook his head.
“No one can die between the two of you…”
“If you die, my Blackstone Town will be buried with you. If Li Tian Ba dies, the Wang Family will be buried with him. No matter who it is, they will not let anything happen to the two of you…”
“Furthermore, the Wang Family has already sent out a message. The Wang Family has signed an agreement with the other four families. They cannot assist you in killing Li Tian Ba…”
Zhao Yu fell silent.
If he were from one of the five major families, he would certainly remain neutral, ensuring that neither of them would die.
“By the way, have you heard about the Immortal Medicine Convention?” “The higher-ups are worried you might fight, so they’ve organized this Immortal Medicine Convention. During this period, no one is allowed to fight privately, or else they will die…” Li Bo continued.
“The Immortal Medicine Convention is a highly prestigious event handed down by the Holy City…”
“Even though you’re our VIP quest, violating the rules won’t get you killed but they will definitely imprison you until the envoy from the state city arrives to take you away…”
Li Bo said a lot, seemingly feeling guilty for not protecting Zhao Yu’s woman after Zhao Yu left.
He divulged a lot of information, some of which could be considered leaks on the Li family’s part, but at this moment, he spilled it all out.
In just half an hour, Zhao Yu had a clear understanding of the situation. The five major families of Blackstone Town had specially organized the Immortal Medicine Convention for the two of them.
Zhao Yu understood the value of the Immortal Medicine-it was a special herb similar to the Green Life Grass.
Its greatest value was not in helping people break through bottlenecks to advance, but in breaking limitations, allowing non-King Slayer to ascend into the King Slayer realm.
This Immortal Medicine could be consumed not only by the old citizen but also by the new citizen. It was often priceless, accessible only to the most core members.
Even in moon cities or state cities, such Immortal Medicine Conventions were rare, only held during large-scale recruitments or with specific purposes. While Zhao Yu remained silent, several other his guards also used their family connections to learn the details.
Especially Wang Yan Ran and others, who even learned about Zhao Yu’s experiences in the lower realm.
After all, they were core members, and it wasn’t difficult for them to find out about such matters, especially since the Li family’s report had detailed this.
Wang Yan Ran’s gaze towards Zhao Yu changed slightly.
She used to think Zhao Yu was a fortunate person with bad manner but after knowing his background, she found him as a despicable person now.
However, today, she realized he was more reliable than she had imagined.
At the very least, he treated his woman exceptionally well.
Comparing him to Li Tian Ba and others old citizens she knew made him seem even more precious.
After all, Hao Yu Wei and others women in the lower realm were all abandoned by Li Tian Ba, but Zhao Yu had brought them up.
“Zhao Yu, what are your plans?”
Wang Yan Ran was the first to approach Zhao Yu, wanting to comfort him and probe his plans.
During the call just now, her family had given her some instructions. Since this concerned the life and death of the Wang family, she naturally had to prevent Zhao Yu from seeking revenge against Li Tian Ba.
“Can Li Tian Ba die here?”
Zhao Yu turned to her and asked.
He knew Wang Yan Ran would definitely contact the Wang family.
“No!”
Wang Yan Ran shook her head, “If he dies, my family will suffer a great catastrophe. Although we have many grievances against him, he is still a King Slayer Rank 3 fighter and a talent reserved for Moon City…”
“As long as he hasn’t left, my family must ensure his safety…”
“So, I just received news that two elders from my family are personally protecting Li Tian Ba’s safety…”
“But don’t worry, they are only protecting his safety and will not interfere in your conflicts. This protection is limited to his time in Blackstone Town…” seeing Zhao Yu remain silent, Wang Yan Ran couldn’t figure out his thoughts and continued, “If you really want revenge, I hope you can do it in Moon City…” “There, even if you kill Li Tian Ba, Moon City won’t dare to trouble you since you’re guest for the state city…”
“Additionally, Li Tian Ba has reached the intermediate level second tier and has been practicing Earth-level techniques for four months. There are rumors he has reached mastery level, so you definitely can’t defeat him on your own…” “To get revenge, you’ll need external help, and in Blackstone Town, as far as I know, the five major families have already signed an agreement with my family. No one will help you…”
She wasn’t wrong. Zhao Yu could leverage his status as a King Slayer Rank 5 fighter to make deals with the other four major families, offering to kill Li Tian Ba m exchange for future favors.
But now, the Wang family had already signed agreements with the other four families, cutting off this route for Zhao Yu in advance.
Unless he could reach state city and make deals with the families there to eliminate Li Tian Ba.
“Additionally, you should have seen the rules of the Immortal Medicine Convention. You can’t cause trouble for him in private, or else the five major families will lock you up…”
“Until the envoy from the state city arrives, you will have no personal freedom…”
Zhao Yu understood that threatening to commit suicide now would be useless.
After all, he was going to die either way, and they wouldn’t just give in.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the five major families be at his mercy?
The Holy City also set some strict conditions to prevent unreasonable threats from local forces at the King Slayer Rank 4 or 5 giving them some leeway. After all, the purpose of all the rules set by the Holy City was to integrate the old citizens, bringing in fresh blood, rather than creating conflicts and opposition between the two sides.
Previously, Zhao Yu had attempted suicide because Wang Yan Ran had attacked first, and there was a reason for it.
But now, if Zhao Yu used the five major families to kill Li Tian Ba as a threat to commit suicide, it would be a pointless death.
At most, the five major families would be punished afterwards, but it wouldn’t reach the extent of exterminating their families or towns.
“I understand…”
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhao Yu took a deep breath, “Is it allowed to fight at the Immortal Medicine Convention?!”
“Of course, but the rules don’t encourage dead match, and once one side admits defeat, the other cannot kill them…”
“Additionally, there are many experts overseeing the tournament, so it’s rare
for anyone to die…”
Wang Yan Ran sighed in relief. Her family’s task was to prevent Zhao Yu from causing trouble in private.
As for fighting at the Immortal Medicine Convention, they weren’t worried.
After all, Zhao Yu’s strength was far inferior to Li Tian Ba’s. He couldn’t take revenge on his own.
Unless Zhao Yu made agreements with other old citizens who had enough strength to help him.
Unfortunately, before Zhao Yu returned, the Wang family had already signed agreements with all the old citizens of at least intermediate second level.
This ensured they wouldn’t kill Li Tian Ba for Zhao Yu.
Of course, some intermediate second-level old citizens might not be a match for Li Tian Ba, but the Wang family, to be safe, signed agreements with all of them.
Naturally, they paid a significant price, but considering the survival of the
Wang family, they had no choice but to bear it.
What about Li Tian Ba? Will he participate?!”
“He will. There are many rewards at the Immortal Medicine Convention, and getting a good rank will earn you rewards. These rewards are very enticing for you old citizens…”
“From what I know, Li Tian Ba has already signed up…”
Zhao Yu nodded and left with a instruction, “Sign me up too!”
With that, he headed straight for the Li family, intending to check on Hao Yu Wei and Yang Hui Yan himself.
Seeing Zhao Yu left without the intention to find Li Tian Ba now, the others breathed a sigh of relief. At least Zhao Yu was still calm.
They had all received orders from their families: if Zhao Yu insisted on finding
Li Tian Ba now, they had to stop him.
Now it seemed, it was okay.
But at the convention, would Zhao Yu really make a killing move against Li Tian Ba?!
From what he said, it seemed so.
But with Zhao Yu’s low level second tier strength, could he win against Li Tian Ba?!
Was this the confidence of someone at King Slayer Rank 5?!
