"Just asking a few questions and being arrested, isn't it obvious that they have a guilty conscience?" Lin Yi suddenly frowned. Any merchant would open their doors to welcome guests from all over the world. Even if someone came to their door to make trouble, they would still have to be patient. Who would be arrested just for asking for information?
It would be strange to say that there was nothing fishy about this. What's more, the Central Chamber of Commerce captured so many people just to do human experiments. No matter how you look at it, such a disregard for human life does not fit with a normal chamber of commerce. It's more like a cult. *
"I think so too. The questions I asked at the time were actually very vague, and I didn't mean to target them, but they still acted so sensitive. It can be seen that there must be something fishy behind it. Otherwise, why would they capture me?" Lu Bianren said with certainty.
"Well, but in this case, this Deputy Pavilion Leader Yao, who I have never met before, is probably dead. Maybe he has already been captured by them to do human experiments." Lin Yi could not help but feel worried and regretful.
"That's not necessarily true." Lu Bianren shook his head and said: "Deputy Pavilion Leader Yao is a Profound Ascending Stage master. These people in the Central Chamber of Commerce always only want Gold Core Stage masters to do human experiments. They don't even want Nascent Soul Stage masters, let alone Profound Ascending Stage masters."
"What? Deputy Pavilion Leader Yao is a Profound Ascending Stage master? " Lin Yi was a little surprised. The first time he knew of a Profound Ascending Stage master was when The Will of Heaven fought against Southern Aurora Polaris in Middle Island. At that time, Southern Aurora Polaris could already fight for the position of Middle Island Deputy Island Master with just the strength of the early Profound Ascending Stage.
And after that, Lin Yi once again saw the glory of a Profound Ascending Stage master. It was the three giants of Morning Star Academy. The Divine Nun of East Sea looked at Cheng Ketian, a Gold Core Stage master to death. That kind of shock was really impressive.
So subconsciously, Lin Yi always felt that the giants of the Profound Ascending Stage were unattainable, even if he encountered more than one Profound Ascending Stage master in the Central Chamber of Commerce. But he never changed this thought.
Yao Lunzhen, as the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Blue Cloud Pavilion in the north island, had a high status, but compared with the Deputy Island Master of Middle Island, he was still inferior.
What's more, he had the same temperament as Lu Bianren. He was completely immersed in the study of arrays, and was not the kind of person who would desperately cultivate to improve his strength. Lin Yi originally thought that his strength should be in the Nascent Soul realm, and it was very likely that he was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. This person was actually a Mysterious Ascended early stage expert!
Lu Bianren saw through Lin Yi's doubts and explained with a smile, "That's right. Although Deputy Pavilion Leader Yao is obsessed with formations, he's actually very talented in cultivation. He used to be a famous super genius on the north island. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the Deputy Pavilion Leader of Blue Cloud Pavilion. It's just that he's always kept a low profile and hasn't done anything sensational over the years, so he doesn't attract much attention."
Lin Yi nodded. After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on him. Although the Blue Cloud Pavilion was at the bottom of the three pavilions in the north island, it was at least a giant of the same level. The Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Blue Cloud Pavilion was also a big shot standing at the top of the north island. It was not surprising that he had the strength of the Mysterious Ascended early stage.
"Well, since Deputy Pavilion Leader Yao is a Mysterious Ascended early stage expert, the possibility of being caught for human experiments is indeed much lower. Maybe he's really repairing the formation somewhere. "Lin Yi pinched his chin and speculated.
He had a vague feeling that the Central Chamber of Commerce suddenly looking for someone to repair the formation might not be a simple bait. It was true.
People like Yao Lun Zhen were not only strong enough, but also proficient in formations. For the Central Chamber of Commerce, he was a rare talent. The possibility of killing him was actually not high. According to normal logic, even if he was temporarily used up, he would not be killed. Instead, he would find an excuse to put him under house arrest to prevent any problems with the formation in the future.
Lin Yi was even speculating whether the formation that Yao Lun Zhen was involved in repairing was related to the secular world.
The most dazzling and special label of the Central Chamber of Commerce was that it could connect with the secular world, and the way of this connection must be some kind of extremely profound and complicated formation. Yao Lun Zhen's participation in the repair may be the key to the rise of the Central Chamber of Commerce on the Heaven-stage Island.
However, all this was still an unfounded speculation. Unless he really saw Yao Lun Zhen and heard it from his mouth, that would be the truth.
"Maybe, it's just that the Central Chamber of Commerce is so nervous about this matter that they can't even casually inquire about it. There are no clues at all. If we want to find Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, the difficulty is really tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." Lu Bianren shook his head and sighed.
Yao Lun Zhen was not only a backer who supported him, but the two were also extremely congenial best friends. The other party had disappeared for so long and there was still no news. He was really worried that he couldn't sleep.
"This matter must be considered in the long run. The Central Chamber of Commerce has many masters, and they are dirty and evil. Once you are caught by them again, you won't be so lucky next time, so you must not act rashly." Lin Yi warned with a stern face.
"Yeah, I was too rash before, that's why I attracted their attention and fell into their hands. It's all thanks to you, Lin Yi, that I would've died this time." Lu Bianren sighed, feeling the lingering fear.
If Lin Yi came a day later, or even just two hours later, the ending may be very different. It was very likely that he would have been dragged to do the so-called human experiment by now, maybe he would have become a corpse.
"This is called God's will. Senior Brother Lu, you are not destined to die. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune later!" Lin Yi comforted him with a smile, and then said, "But speaking of which, the central chamber of commerce is indeed not easy to mess with. There's something strange about it from top to bottom. There's the secular market, human experiments, mysterious formations, and there's so many experts gathered here. There's even a Profound ascending stage giant appearing out of nowhere. With our current strength, we're far from being able to fight them. Senior Brother Lu, what are your plans next?"
"This …" Lu Bianren frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "As you said, Junior Brother Lin Yi, with my strength, I can't even touch the Central Chamber of Commerce, let alone find Deputy Pavilion Master Yao. So, in order not to cause you trouble, I'd better leave immediately and go back to the North Island first."
Although Lu Bianren had a mild temperament, he was never a person who was afraid of trouble, and he would never run away in the face of a battle. It was actually very difficult for him to make this decision.
