Regardless of how things developed in the future, it was foreseeable that a large number of people would die when the Spiritual Beast Clan began to collect taxes. After all, using blood to pave the way was the Spiritual Beast Clan's style of doing things. The Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was originally on the list, but with Lin Yi's reminder, as long as they knew what was good for them and made preparations beforehand, they would still have a chance of survival.
"Since we're all on the same side, is there a need to be so polite?" Lin Yi hurriedly helped Qi Mingyuan up. He purposely said this so that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency could pass the tax without any problems, not so that everyone would be grateful.
"Father, Brother Ling, should we quickly leak this information so that the others can be prepared? Otherwise, many people will die! "Qi Wenhan still had a nervous expression on his face.
Lin Yi glanced at Qi Mingyuan and did not say anything. He was only responsible for passing the information to the two of them, as well as Honest Chai. As for the lives of the others, it did not matter much to him. More importantly, if this information were to spread, it would not necessarily be a good thing.
"No, unless the Spiritual Beast Clan really starts to move. Otherwise, if we leak this information from our mouths, we will definitely become the target of everyone. The Spiritual Beast Clan will look for us first, and that is a price we cannot afford to pay." Qi Mingyuan shook his head decisively.
"This … alright …" Although Qi Wenhan was hot-blooded, he was not a brainless person. After thinking through the pros and cons, he did not dwell on this matter anymore. After all, no matter what it was, it could not be more important than the lives of his own Heaven's Equal Escort Agency.
"Wenhan, remember this, Young Swordsman Ling's information must be kept strictly confidential, not even the slightest bit of it can be leaked out, even to our own people. I will make secret arrangements for what to do next, you just have to act as if this matter never happened, understand?" Qi Mingyuan was still a little worried as he reminded Wenhan.
This matter was very important. This matter had to be prepared early. More importantly, it had to be kept strictly confidential. If even the slightest bit of information was leaked, it would be a disaster for the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency. Of course, Qi Mingyuan was fine with it. What he was afraid of was that his son would do something stupid for the sake of his so-called loyalty. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Father, don't worry. I know what's important. I won't joke around with the lives of so many people in our escort agency." Qi Wenhan nodded in a low voice. However, he would not be careless when it came to such an important matter. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to take over the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave." Lin Yi said upon seeing this. He had said his goodbyes and warned them. Staying at the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency was unnecessary. Furthermore, there were so many spies from the Dragon Boat Escort Agency outside. To him, this place had become a troublesome place. It was not as safe as the outside world.
Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan looked at each other. Both of them wanted Lin Yi to stay for a few more days. They wanted to take this opportunity to properly thank this great hero, and then send him off in style. However, their current conditions did not allow it. Doing something unnecessary would only ruin things, so they did not dare to make him stay.
"Now that the situation is special, we don't dare to keep you. We're on the same side, so let's not be so formal. However, Young Hero Ling, you must remember that you will always be a part of the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency. If there's anything you need, as long as you give us a word, whether it's a mountain of swords or a wok of boiling oil, we'll do anything for you! "Qi Mingyuan said solemnly.
"That's right. The escort agency's current foundation was built by you, Brother Ling. There's nothing much to say about us brothers. We'll share blessings and misfortunes together. If you have to shoulder everything alone, that's not very loyal," Qi Wenhan said seriously.
"Don't worry. If there's a need, I won't stand on ceremony with you." Lin Yi smiled and nodded. He could not help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.
The Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's current strength was naturally nothing compared to the five great islands of the Heaven Rank. However, it was still one of the overlords of the South Continent's seas, especially now that its strength had skyrocketed. If it could smoothly survive the upcoming calamity, it definitely wouldn't be looked down upon in the future. This was a force that couldn't be underestimated, and it might come in handy in the future.
After bidding farewell to Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan, Lin Yi immediately climbed over the wall and escaped under the cover of the night. He avoided the many spies of the Dragon Boat Escort Agency and found a remote inn to stay. However, he did not stay in the inn for long. In less than six hours, he left the inn when the sky outside began to brighten. He immediately went straight to the Crescent Pier.
Of course, it was impossible to return to the north island by sea. Not to mention the fact that there was no direct route to the north island, even if there was, it would probably take at least half a year at sea. Lin Yi did not have that much free time.
Therefore, there was only one way to return to the north island, and that was to ride a flying spirit beast. Coincidentally, Huang Xiaotao's large spirit bird was being kept here. When the Morning Star Academy came to Crescent City to select disciples, Huang Xiaotao could have taken the spirit bird with her. After all, it was a loyal companion that she had relied on for many years. However, in order to make things easier for Lin Yi, she eventually left it behind.
Still wearing the Thousand Silk Mask, Lin Yi did not attract any special attention during the entire process of receiving the spirit bird. Only the servant who received him looked at him in surprise.
This was because in the previous records, the owner of the spirit bird was a woman with the surname Huang, and it was said that she had a close relationship with the famous Ling Yi. However, the person in front of him was a crude country bumpkin, completely different from the norm.
However, despite the doubts in his heart, the servant did not ask too many questions. For a small character like him with low strength to survive in the waters of the South Continent, he had to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, with the atmosphere of killing people on the streets, it was easy for trouble to come from a loose tongue.
Anyway, this bumpkin had a special number plate on him, and he had paid enough fees for the period of time. The servant quickly led Lin Yi to the side of the spirit bird.
Spirit beasts were extremely intelligent. Although this spirit bird was not the one that Lin Yi had tamed, it was still very enthusiastic and excited to see Lin Yi again after such a long time. Of course, it knew that Lin Yi was its "male owner". Moreover, before Huang Xiaotao left, she had secretly come to see it and told it to listen to Lin Yi's instructions.
