A while ago, the Evil King's son killed the daughter of a wealthy merchant from the northwest. Enraged, the merchant used his connections to find a high-ranking official.
The official, unfamiliar with the Evil King, immediately agreed to apprehend the Evil King's son. Upon receiving the order, Yang Dongfo first sent people to contact the Evil King, but negotiations broke down quickly, and a confrontation ensued.
The Evil King's eight Vajras were all powerful and had prepared in advance. The Dragon Slaying squad suffered heavy losses; only two people returned alive, one severely wounded and the other near death.
The Evil King even boasted that he would soon find Yang Dongfo and settle the score.
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but frown, "The country is so powerful, yet they can't do anything about the Evil King?"
Yang Dongfo sneered, "If the higher-ups truly wanted to deal with the Evil King, he wouldn't last twelve hours. But the problem is, the Evil King has powerful backers, and everyone knows it."
Ye Tian understood and said, "So, this ultimately needs to be resolved through unconventional means?"
Yang Dongfo replied, "Yes, lose and you die, win and you live. It's that simple. And this way, the people in power won't be implicated."
Then he looked at Ye Tian, "I'm telling you this because I hope Mr. Ye can come out of seclusion to help me deal with the Evil King."
Ye Tian chuckled, "You have so many experts under you, why would you need me to step in?"
Yang Dongfo sighed, "The Evil King's cultivation technique is extremely sinister. Moreover, he has spent a fortune acquiring the 'Formula No. 5' developed in the United States. After taking Formula No. 5, his physique can reach the level of a human immortal. Combined with his potent evil techniques, I don't know how many more people I would lose trying to capture him. Mr. Ye, you are a human immortal. If you were to act, the Evil King would surely be no match for you."
He quickly added, "Eliminate the Evil King, and his territory in the northwest will be yours."
Ye Tian said, "I have no interest in territories in the northwest."
Yang Dongfo smiled, "I spoke with Old Ren, and he mentioned that Mr. Ye enjoys interesting things. The organizations I control have many ancient artifacts. If Mr. Ye is interested, you can choose a few."
Ye Tian's interest was piqued, "Oh, interesting things?"
Yang Dongfo explained, "These items were collected by the Qing imperial family over several centuries and stored in a secret location. After the Qing dynasty fell, these items were taken over. Due to the sheer volume, they were divided into three parts, and I currently manage one of them."
Ye Tian picked up his teacup and took a sip, saying, "It's still early, why don't we go take a look?"
He actually didn't want to get involved in the northwest affairs. Firstly, it was easy to offend people by getting entangled, and secondly, the Evil King was not easy to deal with. However, if Yang Dongfo could produce something of value, he would be willing to act once.
Yang Dongfo immediately said, "Mr. Ye, I have a car ready. We can leave right now."
Ye Tian smiled, "It seems you were certain I would go."
A black van stopped at the entrance. Once inside, the driver stepped on the accelerator without being told. After driving for over an hour, the car entered an underground air-raid shelter. Ten people guarded the entrance, and the door was made of extremely thick super-alloy.
Yang Dongfo said, "Open the door."
The ten guards acknowledged and each took out a key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it in sequence. Finally, Yang Dongfo stood before the door and underwent a dual verification of fingerprint and iris. He then spoke a string of numbers, simultaneously undergoing voiceprint recognition.
"Click!"
The massive door slowly began to open. He instructed everyone to wait outside and only took Ye Tian inside.
The air-raid shelter was spacious, filled with supplies. According to Yang Dongfo, these supplies could sustain people within the shelter for at least three years. In the event of a major catastrophe, those guarding these items could seal themselves inside and endure for at least three years.
After walking several hundred meters down a corridor, a blue metal door appeared on the left, with the words "Confidential" written on it.
Ye Tian had expected this door to be difficult to open as well, but to his surprise, it only had a fingerprint lock, which Yang Dongfo opened with a simple touch. Behind the door was a spacious hall filled with shelves of various sizes, each holding leaden boxes.
He couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Mr. Yang, why are these boxes all made of lead?"
Yang Dongfo replied, "Some of these items are quite peculiar, and some are highly radioactive, so they are all stored in lead containers."
