Zhang Qitian returned to the car and closed his eyes to rest.
He was a transmigrator from another world where entertainment was highly developed, but this world lacked many entertainment projects from his original world.
Thus, he rose from an internet celebrity streamer to the position of entertainment king, relying solely on his memory.
The reason he could eliminate Li Tianhua was due to his golden finger, a mask – the Shadow Legion Commander's mask, the Talas Mask.
The Shadow Legion's abilities were beyond doubt. Assassinating someone was incredibly simple. Even if he knew this world had cultivators, they would be no match for the Shadow Legion.
This Shadow Legion was not as weak as depicted in anime from his previous life; it was the Shadow Legion at its peak.
With this golden finger, Zhang Qitian's ambition grew, and he would not be confined to being merely an entertainment king.
He wanted to become a capitalist, date the most beautiful women, and drink the strongest liquor.
Yunzhou's largest entertainment group, Huan City, became Zhang Qitian's target. Therefore, Li Tianhua, who had repeatedly targeted him, did not elicit any pity from Zhang Qitian when he made his move.
However, Zhang Qitian also learned that Huan City Entertainment was backed by the Mo Yu Group.
According to intelligence gathered by the Shadow Legion, the Mo Yu Group was backed by the Zhao family.
But the Shadow Legion had lost many shadow members while investigating the Zhao family.
This caused Zhang Qitian to temporarily withdraw his forces from Yanjing.
His smooth takeover of Huan City Entertainment was also achieved by a Mo Yu executive being bribed by members of the Shadow Legion.
Therefore, Zhang Qitian needed to plan carefully. Yunzhou was just his beginning.
...
"Ah!!! Young Master Zhao, spare me!"
A Mo Yu Group executive in Qianzhou was being whipped by Si Jinyan.
"Spare you?"
Zhao Yunhai, holding a pot of tea, walked expressionlessly before him and poured himself a cup, taking a slow sip.
"Pfft!!!"
As if scalded by the tea, Zhao Yunhai immediately spat it out onto the other's bloody whip marks.
"Ah!!!"
Seeing the other person scream and struggle, Zhao Yunhai coldly chuckled, "My apologies, this tea is a bit salty."
Zhao Yunhai deliberately did not use illusions to extract information. He was not in a hurry. Since the other party chose to betray, they wouldn't be allowed to die easily.
"My father has always treated his own people with great favor. Shall I tell you why you betrayed him?"
"Zhao... Young Master Zhao, I know I was wrong, ah!!!"
The Mo Yu Group executive screamed repeatedly, his pleas becoming intermittent.
"Five million, you sold your life for a mere five million."
Zhao Yunhai slowly poured the saltwater from the teapot onto the other's wounds, causing him to scream, drool, and eventually pass out.
"I will send videos of your miserable death to all Zhao family employees. You are somewhat useful."
Zhao Yunhai said, signaling Si Jinyan to wake the person up and slowly torture him to death.
"Young Master Yun." A Da hurriedly walked up to him from outside.
"What is it?" Zhao Yunhai glanced at him. "Have you investigated clearly?"
"Young Master Yun, these are the strange individuals our family has encountered recently. I believe their appearance coincides with Zhang Qitian's rise to prominence."
A Da compiled the information he had investigated into a booklet and respectfully handed it over.
"Oh?" Zhao Yunhai exclaimed in surprise, taking the booklet and looking through it. "Take him away, you're disturbing this young master."
"Yes." Si Jinyan quickly carried the man away and into the basement for slow torment.
After reading most of the information, Zhao Yunhai realized he had misjudged. This entertainment king, Zhang Qitian, indeed had some means.
Zhao Yunhai's gaze lingered on the photograph in the document.
Dressed in black, with red eyes – wasn't this the Shadow Legion from "Alang's Adventures"?
It seemed Zhang Qitian had obtained a very formidable golden finger.
However, the fact that they could kill a congenital martial artist suggested that the Shadow Legion's strength was not weak.
This posed a challenge for Wang Fan, who was going to handle this matter alone.
Zhao Yunhai felt he should pay more attention to it, lest this protagonist, Wang Fan, capsized in the gutter.
So, Zhao Yunhai had A Da send this information to Wang Fan for him to consider.
"Your subordinate will go now." A Da respectfully took the document and left.
Zhao Yunhai did not indulge in pleasures all day. Today, he planned to inspect Tiangong Group and then visit the doomsday world.
If he were to neglect them for too long, it was inevitable that some improper thoughts might arise.
...
Wang Fan was just about to directly deal with Zhang Qitian, but a piece of news made him halt his actions.
After seeing the message from A Da, Wang Fan nonchalantly retreated from within twenty meters of Zhang Qitian's residence.
Wang Fan felt he had been a bit reckless. At this moment, he should cast a divination for himself.
Furthermore, he had recently felt that if his abilities progressed further, there would be earth-shattering changes.
Therefore, he rarely used divinations, intending to focus on his breakthrough instead of performing them frequently.
You can live a little longer. I'll deal with you after my breakthrough.
Wang Fan glanced back deeply and then left.
Just now, he had carefully performed a divination and discovered that if he had proceeded, the odds would have shifted from nine to one in his favor to a fifty-fifty chance.
Not only would the task be incomplete, but he would also alert the enemy.
As Wang Fan left, Zhang Qitian was listening to a report from a shadow member and pulled aside a corner of the curtain to look down.
Seeing that the person who left was merely a passerby, his doubts lessened considerably.
His Shadow Legion was always summoned outside to protect his safety, with a small portion dispersed to gather intelligence.
Wang Fan checked into the Mo Yu Hotel in Yunzhou, using Young Master Yun's business card, and everything was free of charge.
Wang Fan began to quietly prepare to break through the final bottleneck that was hindering him.
After all, Wang Fan did not possess the talent to ignore bottlenecks like Zhao Yunhai.
However, Wang Fan was the protagonist. In his most proficient domain, Wang Fan broke through in just three days, leading to earth-shattering changes.
Wang Fan looked at the fully booked Mo Yu Hotel and smiled with satisfaction at his abilities.
He had merely altered the feng shui pattern, which was enough to influence the flow of wealth and fortune.
The feng shui of the Mo Yu Hotel was now one of abundant wealth, and Wang Fan had merely added a buff to it.
This was also Wang Fan's preliminary test of his abilities.
"It's your turn, Zhang Qitian."
Wang Fan stepped lightly in the hotel, and the next second he appeared outside the hotel. This was the Eight Trigrams Kunlun.
After breaking through his divination abilities, he gained control over feng shui and the earth's magnetic field.
The earth's magnetic field and feng shui were closely related to divination. This was something Wang Fan discovered only after his breakthrough.
Originally, the earth's magnetic field and feng shui should have been mastered before ascending to divination, but the inheritance in Wang Fan's Xuan Turtle Divination Shell was reversed.
