Seeing that Tian Guosheng had the upper hand, Lin Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he have time to return to the mound where he started and found Gao Ling who had regained consciousness.
"Lin...Mr. Lin." Gao Ling looked weak, with a bit of regret in his eyes.
Lin Ji saw Gao Ling covering his arm, his face seemed to be enduring pain.
"Is your arm hurt?"
"It must have been broken. I was kicked by the monster, and then the evil spirit entered my body and I fainted." Gao Ling lowered his head slightly.
Lin Ji could see Gao Ling's embarrassment and helplessness at this time.
Once upon a time, he was often like this.
I hate that my own strength is too low, and I hate that I am overqualified but unable to do many things.
But this kind of thing is difficult for others to comfort, and you have to figure it out yourself.
So Lin Ji simply sat on the ground, sitting next to Gao Ling, and watched Tian Guosheng's battle with the skeleton monster in the distance with him.
"How many years has it been since Chief Gao joined the Jiantian Division?" Lin Ji suddenly asked.
Gao Ling looked at Lin Ji in confusion, wondering why he was mentioning this matter at this time.
But thinking that Lin Ji was his boss, he still replied: "Replying to Mr. Lin, Gao joined the Supervisory Sky Division at the age of eighteen, and it has been more than twenty years now."
"You must have experienced a lot of dangers like today."
"Yes, it is a fluke that Gao can survive to this day."
Lin Ji chuckled: "It's a fluke. Before I was forty, I broke through to the fourth level and became the chief arrester of a state. If I give you another twenty years, will you have the opportunity to compete for Mr. Tian's position?"
?You were only sixty years old at that time, and to a monk, you were just a young man."
Upon hearing this, Gao Ling immediately understood what Lin Ji meant.
"Master Lin, there is no need to go to such great lengths to excuse me. Gao is not a stubborn character who knows how to get into trouble, he just feels a little self-pity for a moment."
"Ha, you are like this after meeting me, right?" Lin Ji shook his head and said, "Seeing that You Xingguan, who is as young as me, is still a leader in the fifth realm, are you ashamed of yourself?"
Gao Ling was silent for a moment.
Lin Ji was not prepared to persuade him. Since Gao Ling could see clearly, there was no need for him to waste words.
"I'm just here to talk nonsense. After all, with Lord Tian here, the skeleton monster shouldn't be able to escape."
After the words fell, Lin Ji stopped talking and silently watched the Sun Traveling Realm monk in the distance displaying his power.
Gao Ling continued to be silent, lowering his head slightly, looking at his arms, feeling the discomfort of the evil spirit invading his body, and sighed slightly.
The battle situation in the distance is indeed one-sided.
There are many monks in the sixth realm, but those who can be entrusted with important tasks by the Supervisor of Heaven and become officials of a state or town are all outstanding in terms of cultivation and character.
It is the people who are suffering if their cultivation is not enough and they cannot control the situation, and if their character is not good enough.
What Jian Tiansi wants is a peaceful and prosperous age, so naturally he will not play tricks on a position that can be called a frontier official.
Ever since Tian Guosheng fought against the skeleton monster, he has always had the upper hand.
The skeleton also showed several strange movements that it had used before, but in front of the primordial spirit that was like the scorching sun, it was unable to hide at all.
Soon, Lin Ji saw Tian Guosheng punch the skull hard on the forehead, smashing it to the ground, and dust and smoke billowed around it.
"It's time to decide the winner." Lin Ji said casually.
But suddenly, when the smoke and dust dispersed, Lin Ji saw Tian Guosheng rising into the sky and looked around.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"He didn't run away, did he?"
After a moment, Tian Guosheng's figure disappeared, and nearly a quarter of an hour passed before reappearing.
He came directly to Lin Ji and Gao Ling.
"Master Tian." The two of them stood up quickly.
Tian Guosheng's face looked a little ugly. He first looked at Gao Ling's injuries before looking at Lin Ji.
Lin Ji already had some guesses from his expression.
"Sir, has the monster escaped?"
"Run away!" Tian Guosheng nodded heavily and sighed, "I was careless and didn't expect that monster also knew how to escape from earth. He disappeared after falling to the ground. I couldn't find him! Hey!"
Tian Guosheng said regretfully, and looked around again, finally stopping in the direction of the cave next to the mound.
The evil spirit there is the strongest, and the monster has disappeared, but the evil spirit in the cave is still gathering and not dissipating.
"That's where the monster hides? What's down there?"
"I don't know yet. Before I went down to investigate, the monster ran out on its own." Lin Ji was also a little curious.
But after hearing Lin Ji's answer, Tian Guosheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "In that case, let's seal this place off first and explore it later."
This solution was somewhat beyond Lin Ji's expectation.
According to Jian Tiansi's practice, he always investigates the evil spirits thoroughly.
Even though the world is so chaotic now, the manpower everywhere in Supervisor Tiansi is stretched thin.
However, the town officials of Yizhou have personally taken action, so this matter should not be postponed under any circumstances.
The reason why Lin Ji didn't leave with Gao Ling just now was because he thought he would have to explore the cave later, so he just recovered his condition nearby.
Otherwise, this place is less than three miles away from Jade City, and it won't take long for him to send Gao Ling back and come back.
"Aren't you going to investigate now? Although the monster is missing, we should know what raised such a weird monster." Lin Ji asked, "This skeleton had skin and flesh before, and it seemed to be in command.
Some zombies, this..."
Before Lin Ji could finish speaking, Tian Guosheng shook his head slightly.
"If you don't check, now is not the time."
He didn't wait for Lin Ji to ask again, and then said: "Brother Lin, please send Mr. Gao back. I'm going to take a step first. I'll see you in the Yamen later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Guosheng rose into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Ji frowned slightly, looking at Tian Guosheng's back as he left, feeling a little doubtful in his heart.
"strangeness."
"What's so strange about Mr. Lin?" Gao Ling asked from the side.
This was not some shady speculation. Lin Ji asked directly: "When things happened in Victoria in the past, was Mr. Tian like this too?"
Gao Ling was not surprised.
"Master Lin has just come to Victoria not long ago, right?"
"Yes, I came here by mistake."
Gao Ling sighed.
"Victoria is suffering from internal and external troubles. Except for Jade City, the Supervisor Tiansi has almost become a useless person."
"I've heard about this, but it's only three miles away from Jade City."
Hearing this, Gao Ling shook his head.
"I can't say anything about this. I'd better wait until Mr. Lin meets Mr. Tian before asking."
Seeing this, Lin Ji didn't force it. He used his spiritual energy to clear most of the evil spirits around him, and then returned to Jade City with Gao Ling.
After letting Gao Ling leave on his own, Lin Ji followed the direction he pointed and went directly to the government office in Yucheng.
