Chapter 1002: Chapter 126 Anger Transfer_4

“I specifically came over because I feel some regret, thinking you shouldn’t die so easily…”

“But unfortunately, I can’t influence this matter…”

The head of the enforcement team shook his head and said, “That couple has spoken, you will certainly not survive. Rather than dying after being tortured, wouldn’t it be better if I grant you a quick death?”

“Don’t!”

Zhao Yu hurriedly shouted, “A bad life is better than a good death, thanks for the kind offer, Captain, but I still want to hold on for a few days to see if there is a turning point…”

“Sigh!”

The head of the enforcement team let out a long sigh, thinking that Zhao Yu was indulging in wishful thinking, having personally witnessed the power of that couple.

“Please tell me your name, Captain. If I can escape this predicament in the future, I will be sure to repay you generously!” Zhao Yu’s words were sincere; he had just calculated with the system that if he were to add all the energy to himself, he could instantly advance to the mid-stage of Golden Core.

With this level of progress, he would be strong enough to escape the Ministry of Punishment with Liu Wenxuan, although he was uncertain whether they could get out of Mount Shu.

Although he felt that Zhao Yu was being naive, the head of the enforcement team still revealed his name.

“My name is Wu Yong, I am the captain of the enforcement squad…”

“What is that couple’s name?”

Zhao Yu was not one to suffer loss passively; he would definitely remember the afflictions he had to endure today.

Known for their vindictiveness, that couple would be paid back in kind by Zhao Yu if he survived.

Wu Yong did not believe Zhao Yu could pose a threat to that couple, but understanding Zhao Yu’s mindset, he still revealed their names.

“The man is named Zhou Zhengchang. He is the legitimate heir of the Zhou family, at the late stage of Golden Core…”

“The woman is named Duan Yinghong, also a legitimate daughter of the Duan Family, at the late stage of Golden Core…”

It seemed as if he wanted to discourage Zhao Yu from his unrealistic thoughts, he added while shaking his head, “The Zhou family is one of the three families of Mount Shu, almost untouchable, and while the Duan family is not as strong as the Zhou family, they are not far behind…”

The three families of Mount Shu, Zhao Yu was astonished. Mount Shu was a sect, wasn’t it? How could there be such complex family powers at play?

However, recalling his initial arrival at the mountain as a servant of the Zhao family, he began to understand.

After all, most Shu Mountain disciples came from various families.

Three days later, most people were tormented to within an inch of their lives, with some already dead and gone.

Even with Wu Yong looking out for him, Zhao Yu had still sustained serious injuries.

Just when Zhao Yu was about to use his energy to break through his realm and escape, the door to the jail was opened.

“Take two people out!”

When Wu Yong saw the names on the transfer list, he couldn’t help being surprised.

The two individuals being moved were none other than Zhao Yu and his cultivation partner, Liu Wenxuan.

“Do you have other connections on the outside?!” Wu Yong asked, somewhat surprised.

Zhao Yu was equally startled, “What do you mean?!”

“Once you’re in here, you’re almost always sentenced to death; only the living can be taken out…”

Wu Yong explained, “Now someone is taking you out, it’s clear there’s someone protecting you…”

Protecting us?

Zhao Yu paused for a moment, and an image of a delicate silhouette emerged in his mind.

As he walked out of the jail with Liu Wenxuan, Mo Cai’er threw herself into his arms.

“Brother Yu, are you all right?!”

Wu Yong was somewhat shocked; as a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, he naturally had to be familiar with the descendants of the major families to avoid offending someone inadvertently.

He immediately recognized the woman who threw herself into Zhao Yu’s arms—she was Mo Youcheng’s granddaughter, Mo Cai’er.

Instinctively, he turned his head to look at Liu Wenxuan to see what Zhao Yu’s cultivation partner thought of this.

Contrary to his expectations, he saw a hint of relief and joy on Liu Wenxuan’s face.

What the hell?

Wu Yong’s brain momentarily froze. Mo Cai’er’s relationship with Zhao Yu seemed to be more than just friends, yet how could she also save Zhao Yu’s cultivation partner?

“Brother Yu, I can’t protect you for too long, my family disagrees with us being together…”

Mo Cai’er said with an apologetic tone, “After you go back, make sure to pack your stuff and prepare to flee, Duan Yinghong won’t let you off…”

Zhao Yu’s heart burned with anger; he wasn’t the one who killed Zhou Mingwei. Why should that woman take her anger out on them, insisting on their death?

“It’s okay, Cai’er, I’m already happy to leave this place…”

Zhao Yu comforted Mo Cai’er and turned to thank Wu Yong before leaving with Liu Wenxuan.

The three of them didn’t walk together for long, as Mo Cai’er sobbed, “To save you, I confronted my family. I’ve been forbidden to leave seclusion until I reach the post-Foundation Establishment stage…”

“Brother Yu, you must not die…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t die!”

Zhao Yu patted her head and smiled, “Even for your sake, I won’t die so easily!”

“Hmm, within Mount Shu, Duan Yinghong and Zhou Zhengchang won’t likely attack you openly again, but it’s possible she might hire someone to assassinate you, so it’s better for you to leave Mount Shu…” Mo Cai’er gave a few instructions before reluctantly leaving.

After she left, Zhao Yu turned to Liu Wenxuan and, noticing the injuries on her body, he said with concern, “Aunt Xuan, are you okay?!”

“I’m fine, they’re just minor injuries compared to others; we’re quite lucky!” Liu Wenxuan said with a smile.

They hurried back to their residence to find that many people were surprised to see them return, not expecting those targeted by that couple to come back safely.

Zhao Yu, however, had no desire to talk much with them. He planned to pack up his things, only to find that his residence had been ransacked and everything taken away.
