Chapter 5858
5858 A warning in return for a complaint
It wasn’t just Yu’s faction-even the elders of Zhang Ziqiang’s faction couldn’t raise any objections in this situation. Strength was everything in the world of practitioning, and Lin Yi was strong and had great potential-he could even build his own faction. It wasn’t worth it to offend someone like this, and so they hoped that Zhang Ziqiang would stop at the edge of the cliff and stop thinking about revenge.
Zhang Ziqiang’s face was as gloomy as water. No matter how unhappy he was, he had no way to raise any objections in such a situation. It would only make him deserted by his friends and relatives, and all his long-term efforts would be destroyed in one day.
But it was impossible for him to give up on Lin Yi just like that. Since he couldn’t do anything to Lin Yi in the open, Zhang Ziqiang began to plan how to kill Lin Yi in the dark!
If Lin Yi knew about this, he wouldn’t care at all. There were so many people out there who wanted to kill him, who would care about Zhang Ziqiang?
The GreenCloud Pavilion was in a good mood, but the central Chamber of Commerce was cold and quiet. Xu lingchong immediately contacted the mysterious man in Black after he came back, telling him everything about Lin Yi’s return and what happened at the entrance of the GreenCloud Pavilion.
He’d hoped that the mysterious man would come up with a way to deal with Lin Yi, but who knew that the mysterious man would give him a scolding instead!
“Xu lingchong, I’m warning you! Our Center has just signed a one-year truce agreement with Lin Yi, and this isn’t a joke. We have important plans to carry out during this year, and if you mess with Lin Yi and break the truce agreement, I’ll cut you into pieces, skin you alive, and boil you alive! Remember, don’t mess with Lin Yi-if you do, you’d better pray that he’ll kill you, but if you drag central into this, I’ll kill your whole family!”
Xu lingchong held the mysterious man in Black’s reply with a dumbfounded expression. What did this mean? What was going on?
Meng Tong looked at the reply and said indignantly, “Isn’t the higher-ups a little too much? They were saying that if they offended Lin Yi, they deserved to die! This is preposterous! Are we that unimportant?”
Xu lingchong came back to his senses and shook his head with a bitter smile. “It’s not that we’re not important, but … Fine, we’re not important. What’s important is Central’s big plan. We’ve never even heard of it. What do you think we are?”
Meng Tong fell silent. He had thought he was very powerful, but now he realized that he was still an ant, not even a strong one.
Xu lingchong sighed softly,”this Lin Yi really doesn’t act tough for no reason. He’s already able to negotiate with our superiors and sign agreements. He’s on a completely different level from us. It seems like the gap between us and him is getting bigger and bigger!”
Meng Tong reached out his hand and patted Xu lingchong’s shoulder. Then, he said,”Maybe we’re living too easy. Like now, without the medicine from central, we’ve never thought about breaking through to the mysterious Ascension stage. We’ve lost the confidence and motivation to improve, so it’s normal for the gap between us and Lin Yi to get bigger and bigger.”
“Perhaps we should go out and explore? If we can advance to the mysterious Ascension stage without relying on the potions from the center, our achievements in the future might be even higher!” Xu lingchong muttered thoughtfully. However, when she thought of the situation that she had achieved after years of hard work, it seemed to be a pity to give up just like that.
“Forget it, let’s not mess with Lin Yi for now. We’ll talk about it when we have the strength and the opportunity!” Xu lingchong shook his head. He still couldn’t give up on everything he had. Maybe central would have the medicine to raise him to the mysterious Ascension stage soon. Then, the gap between him and Lin Yi would be closed instantly, right?
After Lin Yi sent Jia mufan away, Lu bianren found a room to continue stabilizing his strength. Only Lin Yi and Shangguan LAN ‘er were left in the living room. As for Wei shenjin and the others, they went out to tour the North Island together. Shang Yuhua still wanted to buy a stalk of yang extreme grass to return to Cai Zhongyang. The fleet was only docked for one day, so they had to hurry and find it.
Shangguan LAN ‘er sat down on the chair beside Lin Yi, asking about han Jingjing first. She was one of her two best friends, so of course she was very concerned about her.
Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, “There’s still no news of Jing Jing’s primordial spirit. I went to the northernmost Island to participate in the auction this time because I wanted to buy the soul-gathering branch and see if I could use its effect to find Jing Jing’s primordial spirit. ”
Han Jingjing sighed as well. Then, she consoled,””Little Junior Brother, you don’t have to worry too much. Jingjing will definitely be fine. If you buy that spirit gathering branch, perhaps she will be able to come back?”
“I hope so!” Lin Yi nodded, thinking that Central’s reply to the common world should be here by the time he bought the branch. If there was still no news of han Jingjing’s essence spirit, he’d be ready to use his spirit projection again to find her.
“The auction on the northernmost Island must be very lively this time. It’s a pity that I have something to do at home. Otherwise, I could go with you to have a look!” Shangguan LAN ‘er said with a look of regret. She loved this kind of excitement the most, but it was a pity that she would have to miss it this time.
“What happened to your family?” Lin Yi asked. Did you suddenly come back last time because of this?”
Looking at Shangguan LAN ‘er’s face, it didn’t seem like anything big had happened. Lin Yi really couldn’t understand what had happened. He didn’t know what made Shangguan LAN’ er rush back from the middle Island overnight, but she couldn’t go to the northernmost Island to participate in the auction.
“It’s not that something happened, but my grandfather has a friend from the East Province. I heard that he’s an important person in the East Province! I could only stay and help to entertain them. Then, he said he would take me to the East continent to cultivate. You know I don’t like cultivation, but you still want to take me to the Far East Province. What do you think I should do, Little Junior Brother?” Shangguan LAN ‘er’s little face changed into a depressed expression again. She really carried a hundred different expressions with her.
Lin Yi laughed to himself. Shangguan LAN ‘er’s talent in cultivation was definitely very strong, but this little girl was really lazy by nature. If she could focus on cultivation, her speed would definitely soar.
As for going to the East continent to cultivate, this was an opportunity that ordinary people could only dream of. In Shangguan LAN ‘er’s eyes, it had actually become a painful journey. No one else would have such an idea except her.
