"Where are Fifth Uncle and the others? Could it be that they were killed by that bastard?" Zhao Hong became increasingly shocked the more he thought about it.

Lin Yifan was truly terrifying. So many experts tried to assassinate him, yet none of them succeeded, it was really hard to believe.

"I don't know, maybe they were injured, or maybe they really were killed," Zhao Tianba answered, feeling a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Because in the mayor of Guiyuan City's reply, he heard the name of a stranger—Boss Ding.

He didn't know who Boss Ding was; he only knew that Lin Yifan survived entirely thanks to this person's efforts.

"How is that possible? That bastard only has the strength of a Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm at most, even if he has the Medicine Saint Order, it can only defend, there's no way he could kill Fifth Uncle who is at the Divine Transformation Fourth Realm," Zhao Hong couldn't believe this speculation.

"That bastard only has the strength of a Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, but he has experts helping him. Fifth Brother might really be in grave danger," Zhao Tianba replied.

"Experts helping? Could it be the Medicine Saint True Master?" Zhao Hong was stunned. If that was the case, the clans involved in the assassination attempt would be facing a calamity.

"It's not the Medicine Saint True Master, it's a prisoner," Zhao Tianba answered.

"A prisoner has such high skill?" Zhao Hong was doubtful, he could hardly believe it.

"Who knows if this prisoner was planted by that bastard to protect him," Zhao Tianba responded.

"Father, what should we do now?" Zhao Hong asked.

"Alive we must see him, dead we must see the body. We can only send people to search for Fifth Brother's whereabouts," Zhao Tianba answered.

At this moment, the family of Zhao Hong's Fifth Uncle was already heartbroken, they were all in tears.

All of this happened because of him; if he hadn't insisted on sending people to assassinate Lin Yifan, Fifth Brother wouldn't be missing.

Zhao Tianba lowered his status, apologized to Fifth Brother's family; he also comforted them, saying it was just the worst-case scenario, and as long as they hadn't seen a body, they couldn't make a rash conclusion.

Not long after he comforted Fifth Brother's family, the phone suddenly rang.

The call was from the mayor of Guiyuan City, probably with some news to tell him.

Zhao Tianba thought the Guiyuan City side had found whereabouts of their clan members, so he excitedly answered; but what he heard was a message that made him immensely furious.

The message was told by the prison warden to the mayor; after hanging up, he remembered the words Boss Ding said last night.

So, he immediately called the mayor; after hearing it, the mayor quickly called Zhao Tianba with no hesitation.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Tianba threw the phone and flew into a rage.

Seeing his father go crazy like he had lost his mind, Zhao Hong and Zhao Yi asked, concerned, "Father, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

"That bastard said the operation last night failed, and told us to send more people to take him down," Zhao Tianba answered.

This was a verbal challenge, whether they responded or not was up to them.

"What, he's so arrogant?" Zhao Hong and Zhao Yi were outraged upon hearing this too.

Lin Yifan really wasn't putting them in his eyes, it was insufferable.

"Father, since that bastard is so arrogant, we should do as he wishes and send more people to kill him!"

"Kill you, idiot! Since he dares to be so blatant, he must have his reasons. You speak without thinking, I really want to smack you," Zhao Tianba scolded angrily.

Ultimately, this whole mess was caused by Zhao Hong; if Zhao Hong hadn't caused trouble for Lin Yifan's sister, today's events wouldn't have happened.

Seeing this unfilial son made his anger flare up again.

Zhao Hong was berated to the point of utter shame, daring not to say another word.

If Fifth Uncle really died because of him, he would feel guilty and regret it for the rest of his life.

Information had to be shared, Zhao Tianba disclosed all the news he received, telling the clans involved in last night's operation; then asked everyone to send their forces to search for their missing people.

For now, they couldn't act recklessly; since Lin Yifan could withstand one wave of assassination, he could withstand another, and they probably couldn't send a more powerful assassination force; unless they personally stepped in, or called upon the elders stationed in their own cultivation sects.

However, that was impossible, unless their clans faced complete destruction, the stationed elders wouldn't assist them with these troublesome matters.

The clans in the Assassination Alliance were shocked upon receiving the information sent by the Zhao Family.

Their worst fears had come true; Lin Yifan had powerful protection, and wasn't someone they could deal with; the people they sent last night likely met a grisly end, killed by the experts around Lin Yifan.

Thus, Song Baoshi, Tian Ji, Wei Chengxue, Qin Zikang were all questioned by their families, feeling utterly ashamed.

Honestly, hearing this news was hard to believe for these clan heirs; so many experts sent to assassinate Lin Yifan didn't succeed, and all of them disappeared; Lin Yifan was truly terrifying, they dared not provoke him in the future.

There are no walls without holes, news quickly spread, so Long Tengyu, Lyu Qiushou, and Mu Yu also learned about the assassination attempt last night.

Long Tengyu felt lucky, thankfully he chose to side with Lin Yifan, otherwise he would've lost a powerful "ally."

Lyu Qiushou and Mu Yu thought the same, but they originally held no grudge against Lin Yifan, so siding wasn't a matter for them.

Upon hearing this news, Mu Yu was actually stunned; he never imagined Lin Yifan had powerful guards, possibly stronger than Divine Transformation Fifth Realm, such a strong guard was truly rare.

This also signified Lin Yifan's high and noble status, being the Medicine Saint's direct disciple was no mere boast.

Moreover, he believed Lin Yifan willingly entered prison likely as a trap, to find out which clans dared to move against him and seek his death.

"Offending the Demon Lord of Mayhem brings no good outcome."

Those words weren't mere rhetoric; Mu Yu thought that once Lin Yifan was out, he would surely seek trouble with the clans that attempted his assassination.

By then, a group of people would suffer, and it might cause the downfall of several powerful clans.

Through this event, Mu Yu realized Lin Yifan wasn't as kind and guileless as he appeared; his shrewdness ran deep, deeply terrifying, deeply disgusting.

All these were Mu Yu's personal speculations; if Lin Yifan knew, would he laugh out loud?

The Assassination Alliance clans began sending people to search for their missing members, collaborating with local police to investigate this mysterious case together.
