"What do I ask you? If you answer me properly, I might consider letting you live!" Lin Yi looked down at Aunt Lan and said coldly.
Aunt Lan smiled miserably, looking as if she had nothing left to live for. "Just kill me. You've already killed the Young City Lord, so it's hard for me to escape death. For someone who's determined to die, what's there to fear?"
"You can choose not to cooperate, but if you think death is the scariest thing, then you're too naive! Don't you know there's a Soul Searching Technique in this world? " Lin Yi smiled mockingly. He didn't believe that Aunt Lan, an expert at the Mountain Opening Stage, didn't even know about the Soul Searching Technique.
It was precisely because the Mountain Opening Period placed more emphasis on the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit and Divine Sense that the Soul-searching Art was more threatening. Once one's soul was searched, the pain that was worse than death was not something an ordinary person could endure. Therefore, when Aunt Lan heard this, her eyes revealed extreme fear.
"If you doubt the authenticity of my words, I don't mind demonstrating it to you. Of course, once it starts, it's not something I can control. I'll most likely destroy your Primordial Spirit!" Lin Yi smiled faintly. However, to the terrified Aunt Lan, it was simply the smile of a devil.
She didn't know why, but Aunt Lan was sure that Lin Yi wasn't joking. He would really use a cruel method like the Soul Searching Technique.
In fact, Lin Yi really knew how to use it. However, he didn't want to use it because it was similar to devouring the Primordial Spirit. There would be a lot of memories and information that didn't belong to him. It would be messy, and it would take a lot of effort to get rid of it. Therefore, most of the time, he used the Soul Searching Technique as a tool to scare people.
If she could, Aunt Lan would definitely choose to kill herself. Unfortunately, her life and death were in Lin Yi's hands. It was not up to her to choose. Moreover, the Soul Searching Technique didn't require her body to be alive. As long as her Primordial Spirit was still alive, she could still use it.
"Ask whatever you want. Once you're done, give me a quick death!" Aunt Lan sighed. She knew that she couldn't do it, so she didn't continue to be stubborn.
"Very well, as long as your answer satisfies me, I can agree to your request!" Lin Yi readily agreed to Aunt Lan's request. It was just a small matter, not a big deal. "First, tell me why you want to destroy the formation base of the Extreme North Island!"
"We have an agreement with the South Island Auction Association to introduce them to the unstable people of the Extreme North Island. As long as we can do this, we will lead the sea beasts to besiege the Extreme North Island and ruin the reputation of the Extreme North Island so that no one dares to come in the future." Since she had agreed, Aunt Lan did not want to hide anything. She simply told him everything. "The South Island Auction Association reached an agreement to attack the Northernmost Island by communicating with the sea beasts through the spirit beasts. It is said that they were also preparing to hold a top auction, but the auction in the Northernmost Island stole their limelight. That's why they made this decision. Once it's done, there will be no Northernmost Island in the future."
"Just for an auction? That's impossible, isn't it? " Lin Yi's face was full of doubt. The South Island and the Northernmost Island were separated by thousands of miles. Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of a mere auction competition?
They established a relationship with the spirit beasts, communicated with the sea beasts, and even found the East Continent's Night Moon City just for an auction? Are they stupid or are they sick?
"I'm not sure about that. That's all I know!" Aunt Lan shrugged expressionlessly, but it affected her wound, and she couldn't help but spit out some more blood. "Because of that damned Wind Tiger, the tunnels of the City Guards Institution were exposed, and the spy we introduced to them was also being monitored. That's why those fellows forced the young city lord to personally destroy the formation base, and then you came!"
"Who is the spy? Is there only one or several of them? " Lin Yi was very concerned about this. It was a good opportunity to help Li Zeyu get rid of the spy.
Aunt Lan gave a name to Lin Yi. Anyway, it was someone he did not know. He could ask Li Zeyu to find out later.
"This is the person we introduced. As for whether he has other accomplices, I'm not sure. You'll have to investigate this yourself!" Aunt Lan was determined to reveal everything. Since they were going to die, everyone would die together. Since Wind Tiger could betray them, no one would have an easy time. "In addition, I can also tell you that there is a powerful organization behind the South Island Auction Association. It is said that this organization is very powerful. In their eyes, our Night Moon City is nothing!"
Lin Yi's mind flashed like lightning. He really did not know much about the South Island Auction Association. But if there was an organization behind them, he had a rough idea of what was going on!
The Center!
Only the Center had the ability to control such a huge plan. Moreover, the Center's plan for the South Island might have started from the South Island Auction Association!
If they could reach a cooperative relationship with the spirit beasts now, then the plan for the South Island seemed to be going quite smoothly. Lin Yi had a headache about this. He could not handle so many things by himself. It seemed that while improving his strength, he had to train his subordinates more. He wanted them to grow up as soon as possible so that they could be independent.
Otherwise, running around all day would tire him to death. How could he even talk about dealing with the center?
At this moment, Lin Yi had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. It was as if the fog that had been covering his eyes suddenly disappeared. Everything had a reasonable explanation, and all the clues were connected!
Aunt Lan opened her mouth. She wanted to say Zheng Tianqing, but she changed her mind when the words were on the tip of her tongue.
Although that guy was not a good person, and Aunt Lan did not need to protect him, she thought that Yu Ziqing died in the hands of Lin Yi, and Zheng Tianqing and Lin Yi were obviously enemies. Maybe if she kept him alive, he could help them take revenge in the future.
Anyway, he was just a small character, and Lin Yi might not care. So, she would hide it for the time being. If she was asked, it would not be too late to tell her.
"I've told you everything I know. Can you give me a quick death now?" Aunt Lan looked at Lin Yi expressionlessly. She had already made up her mind to die. She did not even bother to beg for mercy.
