History
Yan Hai and Jia Yi were longstanding enemies. According to Li Yao, Jia Yi had driven Yan Hai out of Huaxia and barred him from returning—an event Yan Hai regarded as the greatest humiliation of his life. Their strength was considered nearly equal 68.
Li Yao hoped to become Yan Hai's disciple, but feared that Bai Yang's rapid rise and connection to Jia Yi would damage his chances. At a public gathering, Yan Hai stood with Li Yao and his wife while Jia Yi was surrounded by Mount Hua disciples and many of Huaxia's War Gods. Yan Hai briefly took pleasure in what appeared to be a setback for Bai Yang; after Bai Yang's Trial Tower performance overturned that impression, Yan Hai withdrew to his Paris villa in a rage 68 69 70 71.
After Bai Yang exposed Li Yao's plot against Luo Feng's family, Li Yao and his wife fled to Yan Hai in Paris. Yan Hai formally accepted Li Yao as his disciple, gave him a cultivation journal, and announced a public acceptance ceremony. Invitations to nearly every councilor—including Jia Yi—turned the ceremony into an open challenge to Bai Yang and a test of other councilors' loyalties. Fifth Speaker Atkin publicly backed Yan Hai 120 121.
When Luo Feng attacked the Paris villa to confront Li Yao and his wife, Yan Hai moved to intervene. Bai Yang appeared beside him before he could act, forcing him to retreat and put on his Black God Set. Atkin arrived to support him, but Bai Yang defeated both councilors; Yan Hai was left unable to get up. Roughly half a month later, he died of his injuries, and the War God Palace confiscated his assets because he had no heir 126 127 128 133.
