"That's right. I came to the South continent this time to hunt down the evil cultivator, Wu Bao Liang. Now that my mission has been completed and I've been out for more than half a year, it's time to return to the North Island." Lin Yi explained.
In fact, he had experienced a lot of wonderful things in the past six months.
It didn't matter what he should've gone through-he'd gone through it all, and his strength skyrocketed from early golden core to mid-peak golden core. He'd gotten himself into a lot of life and death situations, and he'd also made a friend like Qi Wenhan. Now that he'd completed his mission, he could leave unscathed.
"That's true ... Now that black arc city is guarded by the old devil, West Mountain old sect, it's indeed dangerous for you, brother Ling. You can go back to the North Island and avoid it." Qi Mingyuan nodded after a moment of silence.
"Uh, brother Ling, are you sure you can report back empty-handed?" "This is a 'bounty mission'," Qi Wenhan said worriedly."Normally, a 'bounty mission' like this should at least be counted with a head, right?"
It was an unspoken rule in many sect missions that one had to have a head to complete the mission. After all, there was no proof. What if Lin Yi went back empty-handed and said that he killed Wu baoliang? what if people didn't believe him?
Qi Mingyuan couldn't help but frown. Although Wu baoliang died in Lin Yi's hands, his head wasn't cut off.
"That's easy to say. If he killed Wu Bao Liang in private, it's hard to explain. But this time, he was killed in public at the arena of the escort agency meeting in the South continent. Everyone knows that I, Ling Yi, killed him. When we go back, let them investigate a little and the truth will come to light." Lin Yi said, waving his hand.
With his position in the three pavilions of the North Island, he was someone that the pavilion master Shangguan Tianhua had his eyes on. Even the pavilion master Yu Zhenyang saw him in a different light. Who would dare to make things difficult for Lin Yi?
"That would be for the best." Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan both nodded.
"It's not convenient for me to show up in public this time, and I can't say goodbye to everyone in public. I'll have to trouble the head of escorts and brother Qi to apologize on behalf of the rest of the escort agency after I leave. " Lin Yi asked.
"No problem, no problem. The situation now is special. Everyone can understand." Qi Mingyuan agreed.
"By the way, there's one more thing I need to trouble brother Qi with. There are too many people at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, so it's not convenient for me to say goodbye to shopkeeper Chai. I'm planning to write a letter for brother Qi to hand it over on my behalf." Lin Yi said.
"No problem. It just so happens that I've invited shopkeeper Chai to accompany me for tomorrow's dinner. It's just a small matter, leave it to me." Qi Wenhan patted his chest and nodded as he prepared the ink and paper for Lin Yi.
"Alright," he said. Lin Yi immediately took the paper and started writing-there wasn't much to be said, only a few words of advice and comfort. It was enough to let honest Chai know that he and hongzhong were watching him.
He finished writing in one go and told Qi Wenhan to keep the letter. He was about to leave when he remembered something. He turned to Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan and said,"This time, I accidentally learned a piece of news in the South Island. It will affect the overall situation of the entire South continent's Sea area. I think you need to be mentally prepared in advance."
"Please speak, young hero Ling." It was rare for Lin Yi to be so serious, and both Qi Wenhan and Qi Mingyuan's expressions turned serious. They wondered what kind of news could affect the entire South continent's sea?
"According to the internal news of the spirit beast clan, they are ready to impose taxes on all human cultivators in the South continent's sea. We don't know when it will start, but it should be sooner or later. So you'd better quickly discuss a strategy to avoid becoming cannon fodder." Lin Yi warned seriously.
This news was too shocking, and Lin Yi didn't want to reveal it. However, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing to Qitian bodyguard agency. Even if he couldn't help much, he could at least give them a warning.
"What? The spirit beast clan has to impose taxes?" Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan were shocked. Their faces were filled with horror and they couldn't help but show fear."How could this be? There has never been such a precedent in the past thousands of years. "
"It's true that there has been no such precedent in the past. However, there has been a major change in the power hierarchy of the spirit beast clan not long ago, and this tax collection proposal was proposed by the new person in power in public at the spirit beast meet. It can't be as simple as a pie in the sky. It must be serious." Lin Yi explained.
"This news ... Is just too shocking ..." Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan sat down in their armchairs, taking a long time to digest the shock and panic Lin Yi brought. In fact, if it wasn't for Lin Yi, they would never believe that the spirit beast clan wanted to impose taxes on them. This was starting a war between humans and beasts!
It was true that the human cultivators in the South continent's waters alone could not contend with the powerful and insufferably arrogant spirit beast clan, but this did not stop them from asking for help from the human sects on the other sky-class islands.
Due to the rich land resources in the South continent's Sea area, especially its proximity to the southern island, which was a blessed primitive land, basically every famous sect of the Sky Class Island had set up a branch stronghold here. If the spirit beast clan really touched their interests and incurred the wrath of the public, no matter how many or how strong the spirit beast Masters were, they couldn't even think of gaining the slightest advantage.
The losses suffered by these human forces alone were enough to make the spirit beast clan suffer. With the strength comparison between the two sides, it was uncertain who would win on the day of the war.
Suddenly, Qi Mingyuan stood up and bowed to Lin Yi, his head full of gratitude,""Young hero Ling, this is life-saving news. If it wasn't for your reminder, our Qitian bodyguard agency might have been the first unlucky person to be attacked. I thank you on behalf of the entire bodyguard agency for saving our lives."
This was not an alarmist talk. Unlike before, the Qitian escort agency was now the Overlord of the South continent's Sea area. Their business was expanding rapidly, and new sea areas were incorporated into the Qitian escort agency's business territory almost every day. In just over a month, the Qitian escort agency's escort ships had frequently appeared in all the well-known sea areas in the South continent.
In this way, once the experts of the spirit beast clan were dispatched, no matter which Sea area they were in, the Qitian escort agency would always be among the first to impose taxes. If they were not mentally prepared in advance and acted impulsively, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The spirit beast clan was not as cautious as the old sect master of the West Mountain. Before they did anything, they would consider the power of the Qitian escort agency. The so-called Overlord of the South continent escort agency was nothing but a dog's fart in their eyes. If they dared to disobey, they would kill your entire family without a second word. They could also kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. It was killing two birds with one stone. (To be continued.)
