When Zhang Biao said he was willing to exchange information about Yu Canghai for their escape, the members of the Fuwei Escort Agency discussed the matter amongst themselves and had different reactions.

Madam Wang sneered, her fingertips gripping the hilt of the golden dagger at her waist, her eyes filled with mockery:

"Several of you have lived in anonymity for thirty years, and now you've returned to the world of martial arts, heading straight for my Fuwei Escort Agency. You want to kill us and steal our treasure? You really are giving us too much credit."

"Unfortunately, what you thought was an easy deal turned out to be a complete failure, leaving you powerless to fight back."

"Now they want to survive, but they are still hiding their true colors and refusing to reveal the mastermind behind it all, using such nonsense as 'the followers of the Eastern Cult' to deceive children."

"Now they're trying to fabricate some dubious news to escape—in this world of martial arts, there's no such easy way out."

With a flick of her wrist, the golden knife was drawn half an inch from its sheath, gleaming coldly, and her voice suddenly rose in pitch:

"Right now, there are countless evil people coveting my Fuwei Escort Agency. If we don't unleash a massacre today to establish our agency's prestige, wouldn't people think that our Fuwei Escort Agency is afraid of the people behind them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Biao and Sima Yong turned deathly pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Only Zhao Lie remained unfazed, slowly raising his hand to press down on the shoulders of his two junior brothers, and calmly addressed Madam Wang:

"What you say is absolutely right, Madam. If it were my two brothers and I in such a situation, we would also make an example of one to warn a hundred, and we would not let him off lightly."

He turned to look at Zhang Biao and Sima Yong, whose faces were filled with fear, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he continued:

"I'll say it again: I'll tell you everything about Yu Canghai's whereabouts and his future plans. I'll even give up my life for you, Madam, just so you can spare my two good-for-nothing junior brothers."

Zhang Biao and Sima Yong were originally cowards who feared death, but seeing their senior brother willing to exchange his life for theirs, their blood boiled with righteous indignation.

His clenched fists bulged with veins, his eyes reddened, and his lips trembled for a long time before the words "to live and die together" were swallowed back down, turning into two choked cries:

"Senior Brother!"

A hint of warmth flashed in Zhao Lie's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by guilt. He said in a deep voice:

"You don't need to blame yourselves. Back then, the three of us brothers retired with the idea of ​​returning to the martial world one day, stirring up trouble with our skills, and restoring the prestige of the Three Heroes of Hebei."

"Unexpectedly, new talents emerge in every generation, and we suffered a crushing defeat as soon as we set foot in the martial world. As the eldest brother, I failed to recognize talent and made poor plans, and I am truly ashamed before my two junior brothers."

"To die today at the hands of a young hero like the Young Escort is a worthy death, and it does not disgrace the name of the Three Heroes of Jibei."

After saying this, he sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands on his knees, slowly closed his eyelids, straightened his back, and truly closed his eyes to await death, without uttering another word.

Lin Zhennan stood to the side, his brows furrowed, his mind racing.

He's a businessman, and he always knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

While Madam Wang's desire to establish her authority through killing was understandable, killing the three heroes of Jibei would inevitably provoke the hidden forces behind them, creating even greater hidden dangers for the escort agency.

But if they were to let them go so easily, it would make the escort agency seem weak and unable to withstand the covetousness of villains in the future. For a moment, they were caught in a dilemma.

Shi Potian is born with Buddha-nature and acts in accordance with his nature. Therefore, he is able to sacrifice himself to save good people who are bullied by bad people. As for killing or injuring people, it is not his wish, but he is not a stubborn person either.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed Qinghai Yixiao with a single sword strike.

He always remembered the teachings of the bastard's mother: protect the good and punish the evil.

The three men in black who were leading the attack were clearly not benevolent; they had been shouting and threatening to kill and rob. Although the murder attempt failed, they still deserved punishment.

Seeing that Madam Wang was about to kill him, Lin Zhennan looked hesitant. But seeing Zhao Lie's fearless attitude, Shi Potian had already made up his mind.

He stepped forward and said to Lin Zhennan and his wife:

"Daddy, Mommy, you can do it this way."

"If these three reveal Yu Canghai's whereabouts, we can spare their lives. However, to prevent them from continuing their evil deeds, I can seal their martial arts."

"As long as they sincerely repent in the future, I will untie them again."

Before he finished speaking, he slowly reached out, his fingertips brushing across the dantian of Zhao Lie and the other two, and then quickly tapped several acupoints around them.

The three of them felt a sudden blockage in their dantian, and their internal energy instantly subsided, making it impossible to mobilize even a fraction of it. Their faces all showed expressions of shock.

Shi Potian withdrew his hand, his tone calm: "I have sealed their martial arts. Only I can break this seal. No matter how powerful the other experts are, they are powerless to do so."

"If they can repent and stop doing evil in the future, I will untie them and their martial arts will be restored; if they continue to be evil, their martial arts will never be restored."

Seeing that Shi Potian had already sealed the martial arts of the three people, Madam Wang naturally couldn't understand the speed and strangeness of his movements.

Seeing that Shi Potian had a well-thought-out plan that left room for maneuver and eliminated future troubles, she sheathed her golden knife and said in a deep voice:

"Since Ping'er has this method, I will grant your request. But if they dare to lie even a little in their confession, or if they commit evil again in the future, do not untie them; make them crippled!"

Seeing this, Lin Zhennan felt a great weight lifted from his heart and quickly echoed:

"Ping'er's move was very prudent! It saved face while also preventing potential trouble; she was more thoughtful than I had imagined."

He looked at Zhao Lie and the other two, his tone calm and authoritative:

"Pingzhi is magnanimous and has given you a chance to repent and start anew. You should cherish this life-saving grace."

"You must reveal Yu Canghai's whereabouts and schemes in detail, without hiding a single word! Otherwise, your martial arts will be permanently ruined."

As Zhao Lie felt the dormant internal energy within his dantian, and recalling Shi Potian's technique of sealing acupoints and locking meridians, he was filled with immense shock.

This young镖头's cultivation has actually reached such an unfathomable level!

However, he was now concerned with another issue, and looked up at Shi Potian, asking in a trembling voice:

"You mean, our internal energy wasn't completely drained by you, and it can be restored later?"

Shi Potian asked curiously:

"Of course it can be restored, as long as I untie it for you. You were about to hit me just now, I was merely borrowing your internal energy to break through my own bottlenecks."

"Although your internal energy is profound, it is impure and mixed, useless to me. Why would I absorb your internal energy?"

The three heroes of Jibei were overjoyed upon hearing this. They had originally thought that even if Shi Potian lifted their seals, their martial arts skills would be practically useless, like those of cripples.

Unexpectedly, not only did they escape with their lives, but they also regained their inner strength, and the three of them no longer had any other thoughts.

Zhao Lie quickly bowed to Lin Zhennan, his tone extremely solemn:

"Chief镖头, Madam, Young镖头, I am deeply grateful!"

"We three brothers will tell you everything we know about Yu Canghai's whereabouts without reservation, and we will never dare to conceal anything!"

"Now that our martial arts have been sealed, we can no longer commit evil deeds. We must retire from the martial world once again!"

Zhang Biao and Sima Yong quickly bowed and agreed, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and awe for Shi Potian.

Once the agreement was reached, Zhang Biao truthfully confessed what they knew about Yu Canghai's whereabouts and schemes.
