"Yes, I came to Nanzhou this time to hunt down the evil cultivator Wu Baoliang. Now that the task has been completed and it has been more than half a year since I left, it is time to return to Beidao." Lin Yi explained.
Speaking of which, his experiences during the more than half a year since he came to Nanzhou have been truly wonderful.
No matter what should be experienced or should not be experienced, Lin Yi has gone through it all. His level of strength suddenly skyrocketed from the early stage of Jin Dan to the current peak of the middle stage of Jin Dan. He caused a lot of life and death grievances and also made friends with Qi Wenhan.
Such a friend can now be considered to have perfected his merits and can escape unscathed.
"That's true... Weihu City is now guarded by the old devil Xishan Laozong. It is indeed dangerous and unpredictable for you, Brother Ling. You can avoid it by going back to Beidao." Qi Mingyuan pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Uh, Brother Ling, are you sure you can deliver the mission if you just go back empty-handed?" Qi Wenhan said a little worriedly: "Normally speaking, for this kind of wanted mission, you have to bring at least one person back to count, right?"
This is an unwritten rule of many sect missions. After all, words are empty words. If Lin Yi goes back with empty hands and says that he killed Wu Baoliang, what if people don't believe him?
Qi Mingyuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Although Wu Baoliang died at the hands of Lin Yi, his head was not cut off.
"It's okay to say that. If Wu Baoliang was killed in private, it's really unclear. But this time, he was killed in public at the Nanzhou Escort Bureau's grand event. And everyone knows that I, Ling Yi, killed him. Let them go back after
After a little investigation, the truth will come to light." Lin Yi waved his hand indifferently.
Now, with his status in the three major pavilions in the North Island, he is a person who is publicly named by the Chongtian Pavilion Pavilion Master Shangguan Tianhua, and the Qingyun Pavilion Pavilion Master Yu Zhenyang also looks at him differently, unless he eats the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Otherwise, who would dare to make things difficult for Lin Yi?
"This is the best." Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan both nodded.
"It is inconvenient for me to appear in public this time, and I cannot say goodbye to everyone in public. The rest of the escort agency will ask the chief escort and brother Qi to wait until I leave before apologizing on my behalf." Lin Yi asked.
"It's easy to talk about. The current situation is special and everyone can understand it." Qi Mingyuan agreed.
"By the way, there is one more thing I need to trouble Brother Qi. There are so many people at Hong's Chamber of Commerce that it's not convenient for me to say hello and farewell to Shopkeeper Chai, so I plan to write a letter and let Brother Qi handle it for me." Lin Yi relayed.
And he said.
"No problem, I just invited Shopkeeper Chai to accompany me at the dinner party tomorrow. It's just a simple task, I'll take care of it." Qi Wenhan nodded while patting his chest while preparing pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Lin Yi.
"Okay." Lin Yi immediately took the pen and paper and went to his desk to write. There were no unnecessary polite words, just a few words of advice and comfort. It was enough to let Chai Laoshi know that Hong Zhong and he were always paying attention to him.
After finishing writing in one breath, Lin Yi asked Qi Wenhan to put away the letter. He originally planned to leave right away, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately said seriously to Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan: "This time in South Island, I accidentally learned that
I have received a piece of news, which will undoubtedly affect the overall situation of the entire Nanzhou Sea. I think you need to be mentally prepared in advance."
"Master Ling, please speak." It's rare to see Lin Yi be so serious. Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan suddenly looked solemn, secretly speculating in their hearts that there was some news that could be related to the overall situation of the entire Nanzhou Sea?
"Internal news from the spirit beast clan, they are already preparing to tax all human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea. We don't know exactly when it will start. But it should be sooner or later, so you'd better discuss a response strategy quickly to avoid
You will become cannon fodder when you get it." Lin Yi warned sternly.
This news was so shocking that Lin Yi didn't intend to reveal it rashly. However, he couldn't just sit back and watch Qi Tian Escort Bureau. Even if he couldn't help much, it was always okay to give him a heads up.
"What? The spirit beast clan wants to tax?" Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan were immediately shocked. Their faces were filled with horror, and they even couldn't help showing fear: "How could this happen? This has never happened in thousands of years.
Is there a precedent?”
"There is indeed no such precedent before, but the power level of the spirit beast clan has just undergone a big change not long ago, and this tax proposal was proposed by the new guy in power at the spirit beast conference in public. It cannot be a plain drawing.
The pie is so simple, so it must be serious." Lin Yi explained.
"This news... is really shocking..." Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan sat slumped on the large Taishi chair at the same time. It took a long time to digest the shock and panic brought by Lin Yi's news. In fact, if these words were not coming from Lin Yi,
Yi Zhikou, even if I beat them to death, I wouldn't believe that the spirit beast clan actually has the idea of taxing. Is this trying to provoke a war between humans and beasts?!
It is true that it is absolutely impossible for these local human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea to compete head-on with the all-powerful spirit beast clan, but this does not prevent them from asking for help from other human sects on Tianjie Island.
Since the Nanzhou sea area is rich in real estate, especially close to such a primitive land as the South Island, basically every famous sect on Tianjie Island has set up a branch stronghold here. Once the spirit beast clan really affects their interests
, and if they cause public outrage, no matter how many and powerful their spiritual beast masters are, they will never be able to take advantage of them.
Just the loss of these human forces together is enough to give the spirit beast clan a drink. Based on the strength comparison between the two sides, it is not certain who will win on the day of war.
Suddenly, Qi Mingyuan stood up and bowed to Lin Yi, bowing his head and saying with sincere gratitude: "Ling Shaoxia, this is life-saving news. Without your reminder, our Qitian Escort Bureau might have been the first one to be brought in."
You unlucky guy who needs an operation, Qi Mou, the entire escort agency, has thanked you for your life-saving grace."
This is not alarmist. Unlike before, Qitian Escort Bureau is now the flagship escort bureau overlord in the Nanzhou sea area. Its business is expanding very fast. Almost every day, new sea areas are included in Qitian Escort Bureau's business territory. Only a short time has passed.
In just over a month, the escort ships of the Qitian Escort Agency have frequently appeared in all well-known waters of Nanzhou.
In this way, once the masters of the spirit beast clan are dispatched, no matter which sea area they are the first to start taxing, Qitian Escort Bureau will always be among the first batch of tax collection lists. If you are not mentally prepared in advance and act impulsively, the consequences will be simply
Unimaginable.
You must know that the spirit beast clan is not as cautious as the old sect of Xishan. They will weigh the weight of Qitian Escort Bureau before doing anything. The so-called Nanzhou Escort Agency overlord is nothing in their eyes. If they dare to be disobedient in the slightest, they will definitely not say anything.
I'll kill you all right away, and I can also kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, killing two birds with one stone. (To be continued...)
