Chapter 241 The poison of the Tang family, seven steps to break the soul

"What? There are only six ancient warriors?" Ye Xingyu couldn't believe it.
He still remembered that on the plane earlier, there were eight bodyguards in black beside Miss Diamond, all of whom were warriors from outside the family. How impressive!
Who would have thought that a famous family like the Lin family, excluding Zhao Cheng, only has six ancient warriors, which is not as many as the accompanying bodyguards of a wealthy lady from other families.
This is also because Ye Xingyu is at a different altitude. He has seen many kinds of masters, but he always feels that ancient warriors are worthless and can be encountered everywhere.
But in fact, ancient warriors are not cabbages and are not easy to recruit. Many of them serve the government and the military. There are not many who are willing to look after the homes and homes of businessmen and deal with troubles.
Businessmen mostly do business in a friendly manner to make money, and they don't fight and kill like gangsters all day long. There are actually not many places where ancient warriors can be used. Although it is impossible without ancient warriors, raising too many will be a burden.
The more powerful warriors from the outside world have an annual salary of one million, while the masters from the inside family are even more exaggerated, at least tens of millions. Businessmen must settle their accounts first. When recruiting ancient warriors, it is not that more is better, but also depends on the situation.
If you support yourself too much, it will be a burden.
For example, when the Lin family was at its most glorious, its assets exceeded tens of billions, but there were only a dozen ancient warriors, and they had to pay more than 20 million yuan in salary a year.
This does not include Zhao Cheng, who was allocated shares. He and Lin Changfeng were life and death friends, and their relationship was different.
A master of internal energy like Zhao Cheng is a worshiper in the family and has a very high status. He usually doesn't have to do anything at all and only takes action at critical moments.
For example, Ji Changxian from the Yan family and Tianqiu from the Xu family all fall into this category.
Most martial artists from the outside world work as bodyguards. Their status is lower and they are like servants. They follow their boss wherever he goes. They have less free time and their tasks are more arduous.
Just like Rong Xiu's eight bodyguards in black and Chai Tong who followed Zhuang Mingsheng, they were all of this level.
For wealthy merchant families, they value intimidating internal masters, but they do not value external warriors very much, and the demand is not large. It is enough to equip several important figures in the family with one or two for personal protection.
Unless you are someone like Rongxiu who is more particular about appearance, you need to bring eight bodyguards when you go out to be dignified.
Now is a society with stable order and rule of law, not a chaotic war era. Unless there are unscrupulous enemies of life and death, there is no need to maintain a large number of ancient warriors.
The Lin family is relatively low-key and peaceful, and rarely offends anyone. Except for the old man and Lin Zewei who have bodyguards around them, other members of the family do not receive this treatment. The ancient warriors recruited are mainly to guard some important positions, such as the drug research institute and precious materials.
Warehouse etc.
Coupled with the fact that Zhao Cheng, a master, is in charge, the Lin family does not have high demand for force. This is why Lin Shanya did not pay much attention to Ye Xingyu when she introduced it to her family.
However, at this time, the Lin family was being targeted and faced many crises, so strong force was necessary to ensure safety. Zhao Cheng and a few second- and third-rate ancient warriors alone were not enough.
Ye Xingyu was a little worried about this, frowned and reminded: "Now is a troubled time, security forces still need to be strengthened, especially you. I can't be with you all the time. If something happens to you, the Lin family will be finished."
!”
Lin Shanya was helpless and shook her head and said: "It is difficult to recruit powerful ancient warriors, and it is even more difficult to recruit powerful ancient warriors given the current situation of our Lin family."
What she said was true. External warriors are easy to find. As long as you can afford a high price, you can always find them. However, internal warriors are hard to come by. There are not even many of the five major families and the top ten wealthy families. They are all in single digits.
With the current situation of the Lin family, the temple is about to collapse. How can it accommodate the giant Buddha? Recruiting real masters is harder than reaching the sky.
Ye Xingyu pondered and stopped talking. He already had a plan in mind.
The three of them soon arrived at a secluded area in the backyard, where Mr. Lin's bedroom was, guarded by two ancient warriors.
Lin Shanya pointed to the study on the side and said to Ye Xingyu: "Grandpa Zhao is inside and told us not to disturb him, but there has been no movement for most of the day. I don't know what the situation is now."
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Ye Xingyu took a few steps forward and reached out to push the door open.
The door was already locked, but under the penetration of the soul's power, it bounced open. Ye Xingyu easily pushed the door open and stepped in with one step. Lin Shanya and Hou Xiaomei hurriedly followed.
In the spacious study room, Zhao Cheng was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed tightly and his face gloomy. Hearing the sound of Ye Xingyu and others coming in, he opened his eyes slightly, then drooped his eyelids again and said in a weak voice: "This
The poison is very powerful and difficult to force out, so I can only try my best to suppress it, and the Lin family will trouble you first!"
The so-called "trouble you" is to ask Ye Xingyu to protect the Lin family. Zhao Cheng is now poisoned by a strange poison and cannot protect himself. He is already powerless.
Ye Xingyu didn't respond, and his eyes fell on Zhao Cheng's right hand. He saw that his entire right palm was swollen in a circle, showing a terrifying purple color. There was a long wound at the tiger's mouth, a jet black color.
Blood seeped out of it, and the smell was unpleasant.
"This is the poison of the Tang family's hidden weapon, seven steps to cut off the soul!" Ye Xingyu revealed the secret in one word.
"Huh? Are you talking about the Tang Family in Shuzhong?" Zhao Cheng's eyes widened and his tone was horrified.
"Yes! Those who attacked you should be the Tang family!" Ye Xingyu replied calmly, thinking of the thin hunchback who assassinated Xu Shancheng.
But it was obvious that the thin hunchback did not have this ability. There was another person who injured Zhao Cheng, but it was also the Tang family.
"No wonder! That man's flying knife was so good that I thought I could catch it, but I missed it by a hair, and my hand was injured!" After the shock, Zhao Cheng's eyes dimmed, thinking that he would not survive.
It was rumored that few people could survive being exposed to the Tang family's extremely poisonous hidden weapon. He couldn't force out the toxins in his body even with all the energy in his body. On the contrary, there were signs that he was gradually unable to suppress it.
Just by hearing the name "Seven Steps to Sever the Soul", you know how powerful this poison is. Ancient warriors who have not developed their inner energy will die from the poison as soon as they take seven steps. Fortunately, Zhao Cheng broke through to the realm of Dan Jin.
You can use internal energy to suppress the attack of toxins, otherwise you would have died on the spot.

However, the internal energy is not endless and will be gradually consumed. Zhao Cheng has no time to replenish it. This poison can be suppressed for a while, but not for a lifetime. If there is no antidote, he will eventually die of exhaustion.
Originally, Zhao Cheng still had a glimmer of hope, but when he heard that this was the Tang family's poison, he immediately lost confidence and lowered his head with a gloomy expression, saying nothing.
