The little brothers and the big bosses were beaten so badly that they didn't dare to fight back.

Boss Azure Dragon secretly rejoiced, thankful that he didn't step up to fight earlier, otherwise he would have ended up with a bruised and battered face like Bald Strong and the rest.

Cheap Trick, Bald Strong, and Lotus Bright—these nicknames of the three bosses are closely linked with their personalities or physical traits.

Cheap Trick earned his name because of his extremely unscrupulous behavior, gradually people started calling him by this nickname.

The nickname Bald Strong is easy to understand—it's a bald guy named Strong Brother.

Lotus Bright got his name because his arms looked like lotus roots, segmented and powerful, over time people began calling him Lotus Bright. Among the four bosses, he had the strongest physical strength, unmatched by anyone.

The fight was brief and hasty, Lin Yifan unquestionably became the strongest, second to none.

At that moment, Boss Ding flew back and asked the underlings below the stage, "How is it? Convinced yet?"

"Convinced! Convinced!"

The underlings responded in unison, not daring to protest anymore.

"Since you are all convinced, I now announce that from now on, Brother Lin is my left and right protector, and you all must listen to him," Boss Ding declared.

This identity was enough to prove who Boss Ding trusted more.

Everyone accepted it, except for Boss Azure Dragon who was unwilling.

He bore a grudge against Lin Yifan and swore never to acknowledge Lin Yifan as his boss.

"Damn it! What the hell is Boss Ding thinking, making a young lad our boss, does he genuinely want to disgust us?" Boss Azure Dragon questioned in his heart.

Things were fine yesterday, but after one night, everything changed, catching him off guard and making him feel uneasy.

Given the circumstances, even if he was unwilling, it was useless; unless he had the ability to defeat Lin Yifan. But that was simply impossible, so he had to stop dreaming about it.

With the new identity, no one in the prison would dare to bully Lin Yifan or show discontent towards him anymore.

In fact, Lin Yifan didn't care about the protector identity at all.

Because he was definitely going to get out of prison, and he wouldn't have any interaction or connection with this group of inmates; therefore this title held no use for him.

On the other side, the clan that had sent assassins to kill Lin Yifan last night was anxious and uneasy.

Since last night's operation, they hadn't received any news from their family's guards or elders.

This was not good news because it meant those who were sent to assassinate Lin Yifan possibly encountered mishaps and were completely wiped out.

"Why haven't we received any news yet? Not even a shadow, did something go wrong?" Zhao Tianba paced back and forth in the hall, agitated.

This time, the Zhao Family had dispatched several experts, even elders. If they were all killed, it would be a huge loss for their family.

"Dad! Don't worry, Uncle Zhao's realm is at Divine Transformation Forth Realm Early Stage, no matter how powerful that bastard is, he couldn't possibly defeat Uncle Zhao. Worst case scenario, escape is definitely an option," Zhao Hong comforted.

For this operation, several clans had joined forces, experts were gathered, Lin Yifan was alone, destined to be outmatched; in his mind, it was certain that Lin Yifan would have been dead by now.

Zhao Tianba also understood this logic, which was why he hadn't collapsed immediately.

"Did anyone from the other clans come back?" Zhao Tianba inquired.

"Family Head, I've asked, none have returned," a guard replied.

"Keep asking until you get an answer!" Zhao Tianba ordered.

"Yes, Family Head!"

Half an hour later, still no one had returned from the various clans.

At that moment, Zhao Tianba felt increasingly uneasy, and called the Mayor of Guiyuan City, asking him to inquire with the prison guards about what happened last night and whether the action was successful.

The chief prison guard was startled receiving a call from the mayor, and immediately feigned politeness, asking subserviently, "Mayor, what can I do for you?"

"Was last night's assassination attempt successful? Where did the clan members go?" The mayor asked sternly from the other end of the line.

The chief prison guard was puzzled, wasn't last night's operation a failure? The clan assassins had fled, right? Why ask him? Did something go wrong?

Realizing the severity of the situation, he truthfully replied, "Last night's operation failed, the clan members seemed to have escaped."

"The plan was foolproof, how could it fail?" The Mayor of Guiyuan City questioned.

"I don't know how Boss Ding messed things up, saving that damn kid," the chief prison guard answered.

"Who is Boss Ding?" The Mayor of Guiyuan City asked curiously.

"Boss Ding is a life-sentenced prisoner in our prison, here he holds immense power, even more than me," the chief prison guard replied.

"What? Such a thing exists? Why don't you teach him a lesson?" The Mayor of Guiyuan City questioned angrily.

"Mayor, we can't handle him! Boss Ding is impervious to knives and bullets, capable of fighting hundreds of prison guards alone, we're no match for him," the chief prison guard lamented.

They had tried to threaten Boss Ding with guns, but he didn't fear them; and he could leave the prison whenever he wanted. Anger him, and you suffer.

Because he could kill you and then escape, leaving you powerless.

"Is he a cultivator?" The Mayor of Guiyuan City asked.

Suddenly realizing that only cultivators could be impervious to knives and bullets, able to traverse heaven and earth.

"What is a cultivator?" The chief prison guard asked curiously.

"Forget it, I don't want to explain,"

After saying this, the Mayor of Guiyuan City hung up immediately and relayed the information to Zhao Tianba.

Upon hearing the Mayor of Guiyuan City's recount, Zhao Tianba felt a sudden heaviness in his heart, sitting down, looking like he'd lost his soul.

Seeing their father in a daze, Zhao Hong and Zhao Yi approached and asked, "Dad! What's wrong? What did you hear?"

"Last night's operation failed, the clan members are missing," Zhao Tianba replied.

"What? How is that possible?" Zhao Hong and Zhao Yi were stunned, utterly incredulous.

They never expected this result, the forces dispatched by several clans combined should be enough to deal with a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm cultivator, yet they were no match—how powerful must Lin Yifan be?

Unbelieving of the result, they asked again, "Dad, are you sure you heard right?"

"No mistake! It's true, the prison guards in Guiyuan City confirmed it, Lin Yifan that bastard is still alive in prison," Zhao Tianba answered.
