"Ah? Ah! No … Looks like we haven't arrived yet! " Li Zaoyi blushed. She hadn't paid attention to the compass in her hands and had only glanced at it. To cover up her distraction, she quickly added, "Yes, you have to keep an eye on the compass at all times. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if you miss it!"
"I don't know how big the compass is, so it's good to keep an eye on it. But we're about to reach Wai Arc City. Why don't we put it away first? "Lin Yi pointed at the bustling city in the distance and smiled.
Li Zaoyi nodded. After putting away the compass, she looked at Wai Arc City in the distance and said, "That's Wai Arc City, the center of the Wai Arc Territorial Waters? It looks very prosperous. It's not any worse than an ordinary city on Central Island. "
"Yeah, I thought that Nanzhou would be a very desolate place when I first came here. It's the spiritual beasts' territory, after all. I didn't expect to see such a bustling city here." Lin Yi smiled as he recalled his first experience with Huang Xiaotao. "That's right, I thought that Nanzhou would be a very desolate place.
The last time they had come here, they had met that idiot Cheng Ketian. At that time, Lin Yi hadn't been strong enough and had to team up with Huang Xiaotao to protect himself. That was why he had come looking for trouble time and time again. This time was different. Young Master Lu had brought a group of Ascending Stage spirit beasts as bodyguards, but he had still been killed by Lin Yi the first time he had come looking for trouble!
As they spoke, the flying spirit beast neared the pier. Lin Yi knew the rules here. For an outsider like him, flying spirit beasts could only stop at the pier. Even for the local practitioners, other than the higher-ups of Wai Arc City who had their own flying spirit beasts, they had to stop at the pier to enter and exit.
Before they landed, Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi's divine senses had already discovered that the number of human cultivators and spirit beasts at the pier was about the same. However, the spirit beasts clearly had a higher status. Human cultivators could only do manual labor, while the spirit beasts were responsible for collecting spirit stones and supervising patrols.
"Foreign cultivators? The fee to park the flying spirit beast is fifty spirit jades, and it is valid for three days. After three days, the fee is ten spirit jades per day. If the fee is not paid within ten days, the flying spirit beast will be confiscated! The entry fee to Wai Arc City is 100 spirit jades, and the pass is valid for 15 days. If you exceed the time limit, you will have to apply for a replacement immediately. Otherwise, you will be expelled from Wai Arc City! " When a young spirit beast in human form saw Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi's flying spirit beasts land, he immediately walked over and announced the rules of the fee expressionlessly.
Lin Yi was left speechless. To him, this amount of spiritual jades was not even a drop in the bucket. However, when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, it was already a sky-high price. The spiritual beasts were quite ruthless!
"That's the toll for two people, and the rest is for the aerial spirit beast parking fee!" Lin Yi didn't feel like bickering with this spirit beast youth. He took out three hundred spirit jades and gave them to him. He also received two thumb-sized white jade tokens and a bronze token for flying spirit beasts.
"Hang the jade token on your waist. Otherwise, you'll be deemed as someone who doesn't have a jade token and be expelled from the city." The spirit beast youth put away the spirit jade and reminded him. His attitude was quite good.
"Many thanks!" Lin Yi nodded and left the pier with Li Zaoyi. He felt a little strange. Why hadn't anyone come to settle the score with him?
The two spirit beasts that had escaped should have returned to Wai Arc City long ago. Even if they didn't know that Young Master Lu and the other spirit beast guards had already been killed by Lin Yi, they wouldn't just let the matter of them getting injured go, right?
"The order here isn't bad. I originally thought that South Continent would be a more chaotic place." Li Zaoyi seemed to be rather satisfied with Wai Arc City. This was completely different from her original expectations that fights would break out at any time.
Since the two spirit beast guards that had escaped did not make any moves, Lin Yi put this matter aside for the time being. In any case, the strongest person in Wai Arc City was only at the perfected Mountain Opening Stage. There was no aura of an Earth Opening Stage powerhouse, so this level of strength was insufficient to suppress him.
"The management of the spirit beast clan is not bad. Although there has been an increase in taxes, it is still within acceptable limits." Lin Yi nodded in agreement. He was also a little surprised by this situation, but the names of the flying spirit beast parking fee and the city entrance fee sounded really familiar. It was full of the style of the secular world!
Therefore, Lin Yi boldly guessed that these things might have been done by the center. Perhaps the method the spirit beast clan used to manage Wai Arc City was also suggested by the center.
"Lin Yi, is the matter you need to handle in Wai Arc City? If not, let's leave this place as soon as possible and go to other regions to take a look. " Li Zaoyi took some time to look at the compass, but there was still no information, so she wasn't very interested in staying in Wai Arc City.
"Don't be anxious. I want to look for someone in Wai Arc City first." Lin Yi waved his hands. He wanted to go to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency to look for Langouzha and the other three. If they were still in Wai Arc City, they would probably stay there.
Before they had come to South Continent, Lin Yi had instructed them to go to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency when they arrived in Wai Arc City. He didn't know if they had come to Wai Arc City, but if they had gotten lost in the sea fog, who knew where they might have gone first?
No matter what, Lin Yi had to make a trip to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency first. Even if Langouzha and the others hadn't come, it would be good to meet Qi Wenhan and the others. Furthermore, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was the local tyrant of Wai Arc City, so they should be very clear about the situation in the various regions of South Continent.
Li Zaoyi grunted in acknowledgment and didn't say anything else. She walked quietly beside Lin Yi. If not for the fact that people kept glancing at her, this feeling was actually pretty good.
Just as Li Zaoyi was considering whether she should put on a cloak or hat to hide herself, Lin Yi had already brought her to the entrance of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency.
Compared to the last time they had been here, the main entrance of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was much more imposing. It had probably been renovated. After all, as the head of the five major escort agencies, it was necessary to maintain its appearance.
However, this wasn't what Lin Yi was concerned about. Instead, he was concerned about the red "Happiness" character pasted on the main entrance and the red satin fireworks decorating the door frame. Was the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency holding a happy event today? Then it really was better to come at the right time than to come early!
Li Zaoyi stared fixedly at the "Happiness" character on the door. Her expression didn't change, but her mind seemed to be in a daze.
"Junior Sister, our luck today isn't bad. We just happened to make it in time for Qi Wenhan and Xia Luoluo's wedding. They are all my friends. Let me introduce them to you!" Lin Yi's divine sense had already swept the hall to Qi Wenhan, who was dressed in a red wedding robe. After confirming that it was his wedding, he smiled at Li Zaoyi.
