The Gu family in Yanjing held a third of Yanjing’s military and political power.
They were also a family the Zhao family wanted to eliminate. However, the Gu family had contributed to the founding of the dynasty, so they would not resort to provocations to remove them unless absolutely necessary.
In Yanjing, Kyushu, the Zhao family had many political opponents who held real power.
Gu Tianfeng was the Gu family’s most outstanding heir, possessing not only formidable strength but also sharp methods. Unfortunately, he stood in the way of the Zhao family's progress and was thus brought to ruin by them.
“Zhao family, Zhao Yunhai.”
Gu Tianfeng’s five fingers clenched the bedsheet, his eyes filled with hatred.
The Gu family was annihilated overnight, leaving not a soul alive, and not a single trace was found. Gu Tianfeng was fortunate enough to escape.
Hidden in the shadows, Gu Tianfeng seized an opportunity, forcefully cultivating to the peak of the martial artist realm, the Zenith state, within a mere few months.
Gu Tianfeng, who had always known the Zhao family destroyed his home, was frustrated by the lack of evidence and the Zhao family’s immense power, which deterred anyone from offending them.
Therefore, Gu Tianfeng could only operate in secret, obstructing the Zhao family and disrupting their plans.
Whatever displeased the Zhao family, Gu Tianfeng would do it.
Gu Tianfeng recalled his woman being captured by Zhao Yunhai and brought before him.
“Damn it!!!”
Gu Tianfeng pounded the bed, gritting his teeth, the unbearable memories flashing before his eyes, each one intensifying his hatred.
After more than a year of struggle, he was finally found by Zhao Yunhai. The strength he prided himself on was effortlessly crushed by Zhao Yunhai.
[Ding! Attracted by the host’s hatred, the Revenge System has been bound to the host.]
“Hahaha!!!”
Gu Tianfeng erupted in maniacal laughter upon discovering he had obtained the legendary system, his face contorted in a savage grin, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“Zhao Yunhai, this time, let’s see how you die.”
Gu Tianfeng had lost everything before, but now the Gu family was still standing, everything was still there, and he was still the young master of the Gu family.
He would definitely protect everything and slay the evil dragon that was the Zhao family.
At this moment, Gu Tianfeng silently swore an oath, then quickly began to familiarize himself with the Revenge System.
…
“How is Li Mingyi doing?”
Zhao Yunhai called Yu Manlou to inquire about Li Mingyi’s situation in the apocalyptic world.
After such a long time, Li Mingyi must have grown considerably.
It was time to assign that matter to Li Mingyi.
Revenge takes ten years, and Zhao Yunhai had always held a grudge against Japan for what they had done to him.
“Reporting to the Chairman, Li Mingyi is proceeding normally.”
Yu Manlou replied truthfully.
“Any good news regarding the ability-enhancing potions?”
Zhao Yunhai was still very concerned about the ability-enhancing potions. If perfect ability-enhancing potions could be mass-produced, then a grand endeavor could be achieved.
With technological weapons and a supply of ability users, who in the world could stop them?
Speaking of this, Yu Manlou’s voice was suppressed with excitement as he quickly replied.
“Chairman, I originally planned to report this good news to you after the ability-enhancing potions were successful.”
“Now that the progress on the ability-enhancing potions has been greatly accelerated after unifying the apocalyptic world.”
“The research on ability-enhancing potions is nearing completion.”
“It will be finished within three days at the latest.”
Zhao Yunhai was delighted to hear that the ability-enhancing potions would be completed in about three days. “Very good. Those researchers must be well protected. Increase their security levels.”
“Their treatment must be generous. I, Zhao Yunhai, never mistreat my loyal subjects.”
Yu Manlou quickly assured him, “Please don’t worry about this, Chairman. These researchers are extremely valuable, and there will be no issues with their treatment or security.”
“Mm.” Zhao Yunhai hung up the phone.
When Zhao Yunhai left Yanjing with Yang Hui and returned to Qianzhou, Gu Tianfeng, who had been sending people to monitor Zhao Yunhai, received the news.
“Young Master, Zhao Yunhai has left Yanjing.”
A member of the Gu family reported the news.
“Do you know where he went?”
Gu Tianfeng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this fellow was gone, no one in Yanjing would be able to threaten him.
Currently, he could not deal with Zhao Yunhai himself, and if he wanted to stir up trouble, he was somewhat hesitant lest Zhao Yunhai detect it.
The reason he paid so much attention to Zhao Yunhai was because in his previous life, he had been killed by Zhao Yunhai himself.
How could he not take him seriously? A lifelong enemy; once Zhao Yunhai was dead, the Zhao family would be like a toothless tiger.
“Heading to Qianzhou.” The person replied with his head bowed.
“Qianzhou.” Gu Tianfeng understood. This was the place where he had died, Zhao Yunhai’s stronghold.
Qianzhou was likely already under Zhao Yunhai’s control. If he went to Qianzhou, he might be targeted by Zhao Yunhai and might not be able to escape.
However, this was only his past self.
Now that he possessed the Revenge System, with its help, even his lifelong mortal enemy could only fall at his feet.
Gu Tianfeng smiled confidently, thinking of the items he had received from the novice gift pack, his heart filled with assurance.
For the Gu family to become stronger, they had to be like the Zhao family, controlling powers in various regions.
However, the Gu family only had control in Yanjing and merely dabbled in other parts of Kyushu, not truly controlling them.
Gu Tianfeng’s current idea was to win over all the enemies that Zhao Yunhai intended to eliminate, and to secretly disrupt all of Zhao Yunhai’s actions.
Gu Tianfeng knew that Zhao Yunhai was planning to make a move against Japan recently, and he also knew that Japan would soon experience a rare natural disaster.
It had to be said that Zhao Yunhai was lucky. As soon as he made his move, a natural disaster occurred, as if heaven were aiding Zhao Yunhai.
Given such a massive natural disaster, Gu Tianfeng naturally did not think that Zhao Yunhai was behind it.
However, some people in Japan interpreted the natural disaster as Zhao Yunhai’s wrath directed at them, and they directly surrendered to Zhao Yunhai.
Thus, Zhao Yunhai gained a batch of Japanese ninjas to command, many of whom he had previously killed.
The novice gift pack from the Revenge System had restored Gu Tianfeng’s strength from his previous life, and even granted him an additional powerful ability.
This ability was the source of Gu Tianfeng’s confidence.
As the saying goes, one's enemy understands them best. Gu Tianfeng understood Zhao Yunhai.
Zhao Yunhai had eliminated many powerful individuals. Gu Tianfeng had made a move once, but after that one encounter, he never appeared before Zhao Yunhai again.
This was because Zhao Yunhai seemed to possess an unusual ability – the ability to copy anything.
While it sounded fantastical, Gu Tianfeng had already confirmed Zhao Yunhai’s ability.
As for Gu Tianfeng’s existence, Zhao Yunhai was currently unaware.
Having more people monitoring him, discovering that someone was watching him was a very common occurrence.
In Qianzhou, deep beneath the Heavenly Palace Group.
“Welcome back.”
Zhao Yunhai gave Li Mingyi a big hug. Upon meeting, he noticed that Li Mingyi’s demeanor had completely changed.
It was the aura of confidence of a strong individual.
“It’s so good to be back.”
Li Mingyi couldn’t help but exclaim.
