"You're going to the south island?" Hong Zhong was slightly stunned when he heard the news from Lin Yi. He quickly reminded him, "The south island is the base camp of the spirit beasts, and they've always rejected humans. If it's not necessary, I advise you not to go there."
"Shopkeeper Hong, you've misunderstood. I'm not going to the south island. I'm just going to the Weiarc Territorial Waters near the south island." Lin Yi quickly explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's not a problem. Apart from the south island itself, there are many human cultivators living on the islands nearby." Hong Zhong was relieved. He thought for a while and said, "The Weiarc Territorial Waters is a place where people of good and bad mix together. It's said that it's very chaotic, but there's a branch of our Hong Chamber of Commerce there. The shopkeeper is called Wei Zhaotong, and he's an old friend of mine for many years. After you go there, you can reveal your identity. If you need anything from him, just let me know."
"Wei Zhaotong? I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Shopkeeper Hong. " Lin Yi smiled. The scene before him was somewhat familiar. Before he left for Mount Hucai Tianwu, Hong Zhong also told him the same thing. However, at that time, he introduced Cai Zhongyang. This time, it was Wei Zhaotong.
Now that he thought about it, it was all thanks to Hong Zhong's warning that Lin Yi was able to escape from the middle island in one piece and obtain so many benefits. Otherwise, he would have been captured by the Snow Sword Faction since he could not even find a place to stay when he went to the middle island. It was unknown whether he could still be alive or not.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi could not help but secretly laugh. This was the same familiar situation, and he did not know what the final outcome would be.
"Sigh, there's no need to thank me. Even without my relationship, this is Wei Zhaotong's duty. Have you forgotten that you are now the Honorary Vice President of our Hong Consortium's Chamber of Commerce?" Hong Zhong could not help but laugh.
"Haha, it's still confidential. Without a public announcement from your superiors, he might not even recognize me as an honorary vice president. Your old friendship is more reliable. "Lin Yi shook his head.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know what kind of situation he's in right now. However, if something unexpected happens, Young Hero Lin, you might as well directly reveal your identity as the Honorary Vice President. Even if someone suspects it, with the Hong Chamber of Commerce's internal information channels, they'll be able to quickly find the Middle Island headquarters to verify it. Don't underestimate this identity. In a small place like the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters, no one in the branch will dare to disobey you. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to betrayal, and the punishment will be very heavy, "Hong Zhong warned.
"Okay, I got it." Lin Yi nodded.
Although it was said that a powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake, he and Huang Xiaotao were going to the Weiarc Territorial Waters, and they were unfamiliar with the people and the place. If even the Hong Chamber of Commerce branch there did not cooperate with them, it would indeed become very troublesome. If he really had no other choice, he could only use his power to suppress them.
After bidding farewell to Hong Zhong, everything was ready. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao immediately set off. To the Weiarc Territorial Waters.
As Huang Xiaotao's spirit bird was an excellent flying spirit beast, the two of them naturally did not need to spend any extra effort. Two people and one bird could directly set off.
From the Three Major Pavilions of the north island to the Weiarc Territorial Waters. This distance almost spanned across the entire map of Heaven-Stage Island, and the journey was not short. Even if the flying spirit beast traveled day and night without rest, it would still take at least ten days. If there were any accidents or dangers along the way, needless to say, it would be even more troublesome.
Fortunately, apart from the fact that Huang Xiaotao's spiritual bird wasn't very aggressive, it had excellent qualities in all other aspects. Not only was it fast, but it also flew steadily and had high alertness. Most importantly, it had super strong physical strength. These few qualities were very rare for a pure flying spiritual beast.
In addition, the route that Lin Yi chose at the beginning was to advance along the edge of the coast, so the degree of safety was quite guaranteed. Therefore, the first few days were calm, and there were no twists and turns.
However, next, they needed to cross the vast sea. This could not be helped. If they kept walking on the ground, although it was not impossible to reach the south island, they would need to go all the way to the middle island, and then from the middle island to the south island. The time needed for this would not be ten days, twenty days, or even a month.
It was such a long journey, and they had to carry two people on their back. Not to mention Huang Xiaotao's spirit bird, even the best flying spirit beast would not be able to keep an eye on them. Moreover, the middle island's surroundings were strictly controlled. Unless the signs of those big forces were hung, they were not allowed to take off at all, let alone cross. This was not a small problem.
Of course, if Lin Yi was riding on the special mount of the Island Master's Pavilion in The Will of Heaven, then it would be a different story. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
"It's okay. As long as we keep enough vigilance, we can avoid any danger in advance. Don't worry too much." Lin Yi glanced at Huang Xiaotao. Seeing her nervous expression, he smiled and comforted her.
"Mm-hmm, I'm not afraid with you here." Huang Xiaotao nodded obediently.
In fact, she was not unfamiliar with trial missions at all. In the past few years, she basically wandered around the north island's Cultivators Guild when she had nothing to do, but she rarely left the north island. Even if she left the island, she would at most go to places like Mount Tianwu, and would not go too far away.
However, this time, not only did they have to cross the entire Heaven-Stage Island from the north to the south, but they also had to cross the vast sea. This was the first time in her history. In the past, she had heard many rumors about the dangers and dangers of crossing the sea. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous at all.
Even so, she always felt inexplicably at ease when she sat next to Lin Yi, and the little bit of panic in her heart also disappeared.
"Crossing the sea, the most dangerous thing is not the sea beasts below, nor the ferocious birds in the sky, but the cultivators and the sea fog." Lin Yi let Huang Xiaotao snuggle up to him while he analyzed and explained to her to reassure her. "Although the martial world is dangerous, human cultivators will not have too big a problem as long as they pay attention and don't let people get close to them easily. As for the sea fog, it is the most fatal trouble. Fortunately, we have prepared in advance, so we don't have to worry too much."
