This was good news for the Dragon Boat Escort Agency, but it was bad news for the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. If the West Mountain Elder was unhappy, he could easily wipe out the entire Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. What would they do then?
This kind of thing wasn't impossible, in fact, it was extremely possible. However, in the midst of their fear, other than the bad news of Xishan Elder being in charge of the Dragonboat Escort Agency, they finally heard a piece of good news. Lin Yi didn't die, at least not at the hands of Xishan Elder.
"That's great, Brother Ling did not disappoint us. I knew that anything that happened to him would not be strange, hahahaha!" Qi Wenhan was overjoyed. In comparison, the threat of the West Mountain Elder was completely ignored by him.
"Young hero Ling is truly a rare genius, even the West Mountain Elder could not do anything to him, this is really …" Qi Mingyuan was overjoyed, but he could not help but be dumbfounded!
The West Mountain Elder was an Evil Cultivator of the Mountain Opening Stage, yet he failed to kill a Golden Core Stage expert. If this did not come from the mouth of the West Mountain Elder, no one would believe it.
"To be able to escape the West Mountain Elder's pursuit is indeed worthy of celebration. However, Young hero Ling is currently trapped in the Southern Island, it is still very dangerous." Honest Chai, who rushed over after hearing the news, was still worried.
"Shopkeeper Chai, don't worry about this. Brother Ling is a virtuous person, even the West Mountain Elder could not take his life. The spiritual beasts are the same. Let's just wait for him to return." Qi Wenhan, on the other hand, was full of confidence in Lin Yi. After witnessing so many miracles from Lin Yi, he couldn't help but worship Lin Yi blindly. He was almost treating Lin Yi as his idol.
"That's right, Young hero Ling has been to Lufeng Forest before and has the experience of surviving in the Southern Island. Who knows, he might be able to survive this time. We don't need to worry too much." Qi Mingyuan agreed.
"That's true, with Young hero Ling's strength, he will definitely be able to return safely." This time, I will definitely be able to return safely. "Honest Chai nodded.
The sudden appearance of the Western Mountain's Old Sect Master had caused a huge commotion in Velvet Arc City at the beginning, causing everyone in the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency to be in a state of panic. After that, he did not do anything else. He merely stayed in the Dragon Boat Escort Agency and did not take a single step out of the agency.
As time passed, the focus of the public gradually shifted away from the West Mountain Old Sect Master. It seemed that the appearance of this evil cultivator at the Mountain Opening Period did not have much impact on Wei Arc City. It was just that the Dragon Boat Escort Agency's business had improved a little, that was all.
However, even with the presence of the West Mountain Old Sect Leader, the business of the Dragon Boat Escort Agency only recovered to its previous level and did not reach a particularly explosive level. In fact, most of the businesses that came to them were scattered businesses, and they could only earn a small profit. As for the long-term and huge orders like the Hong Chamber of Commerce, there was not a single one.
Firstly, the majority of these large orders from the Chamber of Commerce had been placed during the South Continent Escort Agency Alliance Conference that day. The Dragon Boat Escort Agency didn't get to eat the meat at that time. Now, it was destined that they could only drink some thin soup.
Secondly, most of the Chamber of Commerce trusted the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. After all, it was the true overlord of the escort agencies. Its strength and reputation were top notch, but it was hard to say for the Dragon Boat Escort Agency.
Since they were related to evil cultivators, their reputation was naturally not good. Now that the West Mountain Old Sect Leader was in charge, there was no doubt about their strength. The problem was, who could guarantee that the West Mountain Old Sect Leader would always stay in the Dragon Boat Escort Agency?
What if the Chamber of Commerce signed long-term contracts with them and the West Mountain Old Sect Leader suddenly left one day? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for them? Merchants were born to pursue profits. If they couldn't see stable returns, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens for them to fork out large amounts of spiritual jades …
Long Kuiba, who was looking forward to surpassing the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, was obviously not satisfied with this result. He didn't expect that with the West Mountain Old Sect Leader personally in charge, the Dragon Boat Escort Agency's business would be in such a half-dead state. This was completely different from the hot situation he had expected.
This enormous disparity simply caused Long Kuiba to be depressed to the point of wanting to spit blood. After all, he'd been forced to search for Nascent Soul Stage female cultivators every single day these past few days. How could he endure such great pressure in exchange for such a small amount of benefits?
However, no matter how depressed Long Kuiba was, there was nothing he could do. After all, business was a matter of mutual consent. As an escort agency owner, he couldn't use the West Mountain Old Sect Leader's name to go out and force those Chamber of Commerce to buy and sell, right? If he really caused an uproar, the first person to look for him would be the West Mountain Old Sect Leader. This evil cultivator was determined to keep a low profile. Wasn't Long Kuiba looking for trouble for him?
Wei Arc City returned to its usual peace. If there was really a difference, it would be that there were obviously more outsiders coming to the Wei Arc Waters. This was the central effect brought about by the overlord of the escort agency. In the past, everyone went to the Devil Cold Waters, but now, it was the Wei Arc Waters' turn …
In the forest of the southern island, after the ghostly thing scared away the West Mountain Old Sect Leader, Lin Yi stayed at the same place to rest and recuperate. After healing his injuries, he continued to move forward in the dense forest. Although it was a completely unfamiliar place, with a competent guide like the ghostly thing, he didn't have to worry about getting lost.
However, what made Lin Yi feel rather strange was that he had been walking in this dense forest for a whole three days and three nights, but he still hadn't encountered a single spiritual beast. This was the base camp of the spiritual beasts. Logically speaking, a powerful spiritual beast should be kicked out at any time. How could there not be a single spiritual beast? This didn't make sense.
After all, even in the very edge of Lufeng Forest, traces of spiritual beasts could often be found. Now, according to the ghostly thing, this place was much closer to the core hinterland of the southern island than Lufeng Forest. If Lufeng Forest was said to be a remote mountain village, then this place was at least a junction between the city and the suburbs. However, this scene was a little too abnormal.
Not only Lin Yi, but even the ghostly thing felt a little strange at this time. No matter how one looked at it, this indeed couldn't be considered normal.
If the edge was so empty, it would make sense. However, after walking for three days and three nights, they were already deep in the hinterland, but it was still as dead as a ghost. It really didn't make sense.
"Senior, should we continue to walk in? Why don't we go back? I feel that this place is a little weird. " Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. There must be something wrong if something was abnormal, especially when this place was the base camp of the spiritual beasts. If they let their guard down, it would be fatal.
