The battle at Canglan River ended with Huo Jiong's side retreating in panic.
Fortunately, under the coordination of the three teams sent by the Inspection Department, the transport team of the Tongtian Pavilion was not affected too much.
The casualties were mainly those mortal servants and some cultivators who were originally guarding the Tongtian Pavilion.
The cultivators of the Inspection Department were very smart. In addition, they had been informed when they were assigned the task before, so they were very careful when fighting.
The ransom that Huo Qing exchanged this time was also a lot. Yi Tian looked at it and found that there were more than 20,000 upper grade spirit stones. This time, Yi Gong sent out three small teams, and Yi Tian distributed a thousand spirit stones to each team member. Even Hua Yuxin received a share.
As for the three captains, they divided the remaining spirit stones equally. After careful calculation, each of them had nearly 3,000 spirit stones.
After returning to the Canglan River and explaining to Lian Feixiong, Mei Xin 'er, and Ji Wen, the three of them agreed that this matter was over. The cause of the incident was at the Tongtian Pavilion. After this matter, Huo Jiong would not dare to make trouble even if he was bold.
What's more, Yi Tian also mentioned that when he let Huo Qing go, he secretly transmitted a voice to reveal his identity.
Presumably, they would leave immediately after returning to Luo Xia City, so as to avoid being caught in the act, which would be hard to say.
Lian Feixiong and Mei Xin 'er naturally appreciated their approach. They could complete the task successfully and not offend the force behind the Tongtian Pavilion. In addition, they also got some benefits in their hands. If they handed in the mission to the Inspection Department, they could get more money. Why not?
Half a day later, after the follow-up reinforcements from the Tongtian Pavilion arrived, the political transport team continued to set off for Maple Leaf City. This time, Ji Wen, the second shopkeeper, directly followed the three teams of the Inspection Department to Luoxia City and entrusted the follow-up task here to the third shopkeeper.
Besides, this was not Ji Wen's job. She just lured the snake out of its hole and acted as the bait.
It only took them three hours to fly from the Cang Lan River to the Luo Xia City. During this time, Yi Tian paid close attention and accompanied Hua Yuxin. Fortunately, she had decisively helped Ji Wen this time. However, Yi Tian was rather interested in the Hua family that Hua Yuxin belonged to.
After returning, Yi Tian checked Hua Yuxin and found that she was not injured at all. Huo Qing probably knew the severity of the situation, so even if he had kidnapped the wrong person, he did not dare to do anything to her.
Hua Yuxin, on the other hand, looked at him with a grateful expression after hearing the story of the incident from the bystanders.
They remained silent the entire way. When they returned to the Inspection Department and handed in the mission, everyone received their respective merits for this mission.
Every member had 30 points, and the three captains had about 90 points. Yi Tian looked at the record of the merit points in the identity jade token and sighed. He did not expect that the clues to find the missing caravan would give him 150 points, but this time, he did not even get 100 points.
Afterwards, Mei Xiner explained the situation to Yi Tian. Yi Tian suddenly realized that every mission had a fixed amount of merit points. He thought that this escort mission would give twice as much merit points as normal, but who asked for so many people to be sent out.
In a situation where there were too many monks and too little gruel, everyone could only share less. If the mission failed due to insufficient manpower, not only would their merits be deducted, but they would also have to face the director's anger.
After handing in the mission, everyone dispersed. Yi Tian also felt that there was nothing else to do, so he turned around and prepared to return to his cave residence to continue cultivating.
Unexpectedly, he heard a voice transmission, "Captain Yi, wait a moment."
He turned around and saw that it was Lian Feixiong who was staring at him. He then continued, "Captain Yi, can I have a word with you?"
After saying that, Lian Feixiong ignored Yi Tian's reaction and walked towards the corridor of the Inspection Department's side hall. Yi Tian did not know what Lian Feixiong was up to, but since he was in the Inspection Department's headquarters, he could not play any tricks, so he slowly followed after him.
The two of them walked through the corridor and arrived at a secluded courtyard. When Yi Tian stepped in, Lian Feixiong waved his hand and opened a soundproof barrier to cover the two of them. He turned around and looked at Yi Tian before asking, "Captain Yi, you really do not show your true colors. Out of the three of us, your cultivation is the weakest, but this time, you are the first to come back. I wonder if Wang Fan is dead or alive? "
Yi Tian was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that Lian Feixiong was suspicious of him. Lian Feixiong looked careless, but he didn't expect Lian Feixiong to be so meticulous. If he couldn't give a reasonable explanation this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to pass this test.
Then he replied, "After I fought with Wang Fan, we couldn't do anything to each other. Besides, he just asked me to help him, so he didn't have to take it seriously. He retreated after fighting for a while."
"Captain Yi's words aren't convincing at all," Lian Feixiong sneered, "We all know what kind of people the Lone Wind Bandits are. I'm afraid only Captain Yi doesn't know about their background. When the time comes, you'll have to be careful if you get into trouble."
Yi Tian knew there was a hidden meaning in his words. Just when he wanted to ask more, Lian Feixiong opened the soundproof barrier. Then he turned around and looked at him for a while, but he sighed and said, "Captain Yi, I'll stop here. You have to take care of yourself from now on."
"Captain Lian, please wait." This time it was Yi Tian's turn to ask him to stay, "I'm an ascended cultivator, and I don't know much about the forces around Luoxia City. Please help me to clear up my doubts for the sake of Tong Liao."
Seeing Yi Tian said sincerely, Lian Feixiong said lightly, "That Wang Fan is just a member of the Lone Wind Bandits, but everyone in Luoxia City knows the name of his elder brother, Wang Wei. He is a well-known figure on the Spiritual World's Earth Fiend List. Although his ranking is lower, it is enough to prove that his strength is also one of the few in the Incarnation Realm. "
"Spiritual World's Earth Fiend List, what is it?" Yi Tian asked tentatively.
Lian Feixiong didn't explain much. He just opened his mouth and said, "Go to the Tongtian Pavilion and spend money to buy the information. You will know when you ask." After that, he turned and walked toward the corridor without waiting for Yi Tian's reaction.
With Lian Feixiong's reminder, Yi Tian knew it was not good. It seemed that he had provoked a troublesome person. In this way, the matter of Wang Fan being killed would be discovered by his elder brother sooner or later. In this operation, so many people saw him leading Wang Fan away. The Lone Wind Bandits would trace it back to him sooner or later.
Thinking of this, his heart began to be uneasy. This Lian Feixiong and Mei Xin 'er were also very experienced. They knew that the opponent was difficult to deal with, and they specially handed the most troublesome person to him to deal with.
This was great. He didn't have to deal with the trouble he caused. Thinking of this, Yi Tian's face showed a trace of decisiveness. He had been through hundreds of battles, would he really be afraid of this cultivator on the Earth Fiend List?
Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. I should think of a way to inquire about the information on the Earth Fiend List first to see what was going on with this thing.
