Li Yu's gaze swept over the few still-shaken healing-type awakened individuals again, his meaning clear—
He was impressed by their efficient healing abilities and planned to bring these healing-type awakened individuals back to Kangcheng for future use.
This special transplantation ability, combined with the therapists in Kangcheng and Lin Han's abilities, might produce even more advanced therapeutic effects!
Upon hearing Li Yu's offer to protect the person, the cold killing intent on Zhao Dezheng's face vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of sudden realization. He turned to the five healers and sternly reprimanded them:
"Did you hear that?! If it weren't for Li Yu's mercy, and his consideration that your abilities were still useful, you would all be corpses by now! Why don't you quickly thank Li Yu for sparing your lives?!"
"If you ever dare to harbor the slightest disloyalty in the future, I, Zhao Dezheng, will be the first to not let you off the hook!"
Zhao Dezheng spoke righteously, as if he were not the one who had been so murderous and ready to kill just moments before.
The five healing-type awakened individuals, having survived the ordeal, dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately bowed to Li Yu in gratitude:
"Thank you... thank you so much, Li Yu, for sparing my life."
They were coveted and controlled by various forces because of their unique healing abilities, and were thus involuntarily drawn into the Changsheng Sect.
In this organization where people are consumed as "materials" at any time, they have long been numb.
On the day they were forced to join the Changsheng Sect, they had already foreseen their tragic end.
Now that they've fallen into Li Yu's hands, they thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the other party spared their lives.
Although it is speculated that Li Yu's purpose is also to use their abilities, at least this hero, who is famous throughout the Central Plains, has a reputation that is countless times better than that of the Changsheng Sect.
Perhaps this really is a chance to escape the quagmire and be reborn!
“Then come back to Kangcheng with me. The treatment will definitely be good,” Li Yu said, while thinking to herself.
With the abilities of these five people, even if someone in Kangcheng were to lose an arm or a leg due to an accident, or even be seriously injured and on the verge of death by being punched through the body, as long as they are sent to the hospital in time, they could probably be saved from the brink of death.
This level of treatment capability is of immeasurable value to Kangcheng.
The five healing-type awakened individuals exchanged glances, a faint glimmer of hope finally igniting in their eyes. They hurriedly bowed and expressed their allegiance:
"We are willing to follow Lord Li Yucheng, anywhere is fine with us."
“Very good.” Li Yu nodded.
They even started considering what kind of treatment they should receive after returning to Cannes.
At this moment, the eldest among them hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and reminded Li Yu:
"Lord Li Yu, there is one more thing I need to tell you."
Seeing Li Yu's puzzled look, he quickly said:
"Actually, there was also a high-level Awakener from the Changsheng Sect who came to this stronghold with the five of us. His name was Liu Sha, and he was responsible for supervising and escorting us along the way."
“He has complete control over our itinerary. He is very powerful. He should still be resting somewhere in the base. As long as we are here, he will never leave.”
Li Yu remained silent, but Zhao Dezheng, standing to the side, snorted coldly and said arrogantly:
"So what if they're high-level Awakened? They'd just be throwing their lives away if they came!"
"Now that you've followed Li Yu, you can rest assured. With me here, the people in this stronghold won't be able to cause any trouble."
His confidence wasn't entirely blind.
It was not only an assessment of his own partial recovery of strength, but also a trust in Li Yu's unfathomable power.
Hearing Zhao Dezheng's confident and certain answer, which sounded like a guarantee, the five healing-type awakened individuals were relieved and stood behind Li Yu to show their current stance.
Only then did Zhao Dezheng finally turn his attention to the three Hei brothers standing next to Li Yu.
"I didn't expect that you three, though incompetent, would have such audacity. A mere investigation department dared to investigate this place. You should be grateful that Li Yu is here, otherwise..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.
The three Hei brothers were alarmed and quickly cupped their hands in respect, their attitude tinged with extreme caution.
"Greetings, Young Master Zhao."
They had met Zhao Dezheng several times in Jincheng.
But even though Zhao Dezheng was already plagued by illness at that time, he was still the genius 'proud sun' of Jincheng. Their statuses were worlds apart, so there was no question of any friendship between them.
Seeing Zhao Dezheng take the initiative to greet them, the three brothers understood that he was doing so because of Li Yu, so they naturally wouldn't be negligent.
"No need to be so formal. I'm not much older than you. Just call me by my name." Zhao Dezheng waved his hand casually, seemingly quite satisfied with their attitude and reaction.
"Okay." Hei Yi nodded in agreement.
After greeting the Hei brothers, Zhao Dezheng, unusually serious, turned to Li Yu with a straight expression:
“Li Yu, when I was brought in, I observed that in addition to that high-level Awakener, there is also a high-level squad of about five people in this stronghold, responsible for the protection of the core area.”
"There's also a team led by Zhao Jianan responsible for the protection of the formation. Since you were able to get in, you must have already broken through it."
"In addition, the energy in the ravine to the east is complex and there are more guards hidden there. It may be the core location of the stronghold. I took a look at it before and have a general impression of the route."
Zhao Dezheng's report was well-organized, concise, and clear.
Clearly, upon his initial arrival, he had already secretly assessed the overall defenses of the stronghold.
His meticulousness stands in stark contrast to his current "abnormal" mental state.
Li Yu also noticed that in the subsequent words Zhao Dezheng spoke to him, he deliberately omitted any additional titles, and his tone seemed to have already treated him as 'one of his own'.
