581: Section 581
"Hmm? Why would you ask that?" Old He was taken aback and quickly asked in return.
Lin Yi smiled, "I'm not a child anymore. When I was in the New District, I hadn't seen my grandfather for over half a year!" "And my Master, even if he likes to wander, he wouldn't go as far as turning off his phone, right?"
"Also... Meng Die, Examiner Yang Xiong, and the others, were they also sent to the Forbidden Zone Battlefield?"
After Lin Yi asked several questions in a row, the other end of the line with Old He fell silent.
Time ticked by second by second, and he didn't get an answer from Old He for a long time. However, Lin Yi waited patiently. He knew that Old He needed time; he needed to reorganize his words.
As a result, after about five minutes, Old He sighed softly and said, "Lin Yi, your guess was right. They have indeed all gone to the Forbidden Zone Battlefield!"
"Not telling you was also your grandfather's and your Master's wish!"
"They didn't want you to be distracted by this matter and disrupt your Cultivate!"
"Also... inside the Forbidden Zone, Tongxin Realm Yao Beast have already appeared!"
"And not just one, but three. Once they break through the Restriction, the entire Huawu General Alliance will fall into crisis. Now, the only one who can stop them... I'm afraid is you!"
After Old He confessed, he did not receive any shocked or surprised feedback from Lin Yi. Instead, he also fell silent on the phone. This made Old He feel increasingly worried.
After a long while, Lin Yi said calmly, "I understand!"
"During this time, I cannot return for now. There are still several breeding grounds and feeding grounds here in the Old District!"
"And Bard hasn't been found yet... let's talk about the Forbidden Zone matter after I return!"
"Old He, promise me one thing: no matter what news comes from the Forbidden Zone, especially concerning my grandfather and my Master, you must tell me the first moment you hear it!"
Old He nodded slightly, "Hmm, okay. You must also pay attention to your own safety!"
"Although that Bard only has the Star Quenching Realm, according to the information we received, he is raising several Yao Beast that also possess the Star Quenching Realm..."
"Although you can suppress them in terms of Realm, you are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!"
"Once Elder Qu, Examiner Yang Xiong, and the others are done with their current tasks!"
"I will have them go over to support you immediately!"
Lin Yi smiled, "Forget it. Elder Qu has a fiery temper, and Examiner Yang Xiong is in a hurry to go home to take care of his grandchildren!"
"It's already good enough that they can help hunt down the other two Blood Envoy!"
"Don't add to their burden. I will handle the matters in the Old District!"
Seeing Lin Yi's persistence, Old He could only sigh helplessly. He gave Lin Yi a few more words of caution before hanging up the phone.
Lin Yi put away his phone and looked back at Little Seven, who was lying beside him. By now, Little Seven had already grown into a truly large bird. Even its Realm was approaching Lin Yi's Divine Abyss Realm.
Possessing the Divine Beast Bloodline, Little Seven didn't need to worry about Cultivate at all. Even if it slept every day, its Realm could continue to rise...
"What kind of look is that? You aren't planning on roasting and eating me, are you?" Suddenly, Little Seven said to Lin Yi through Divine Thought.
"Huh? Roast and eat you?" Lin Yi's eyes gradually changed, and he nodded, pinching his chin.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!"
"You are a Yao Beast, after all, and one with an ancient Bloodline at that?"
"If I were to roast and eat you, I should be able to gain quite a few benefits, right?"
Once these words were spoken, Little Seven reacted as if a nerve had been touched. It hurriedly flapped its wings and flew up, staring at Lin Yi with a vigilant look.
"Don't even think about it. I am a Divine Bird; you cannot eat me..."
Watching Little Seven circling in the room, Lin Yi nodded, "Alright, it was just a few jokes. You actually took them seriously?"
Little Seven then slowly landed on Lin Yi's shoulder. It glanced at Lin Yi. "Do you want to find Bard?"
"Hmm? You have a way?" Lin Yi looked up at it.
Little Seven glanced at Lin Yi with some pride in its eyes. "There is definitely a way, but I need to find those of my own kind first. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you!"
"Find those of your own kind?" Lin Yi fell into deep thought, and after a while, he looked at Little Seven. "Do you mean you want to leave here?"
"Yes, a brief departure. After finding my own kind, maybe I can get them to help. Unless you don't trust me, then I won't be able to help you at all!"
Lin Yi smiled, "There is nothing to worry about. Don't forget that your mind is connected to mine. Even if you wanted to fly solo, it's not possible!"
"Unless you can sever the mental connection with me..."
[ ... ]
"Go ahead. After you find Bard, come back and give me the news immediately!"
"Do not act rashly. He has several Star Quenching Realm Yao Beast by his side, all raised by him since they were young. And I have also heard that his method of raising Yao Beast is to make them fight constantly!"
"From the time they were cubs, they have to constantly fight and devour. Only the living Yao Beast can make it to today. Do not be careless just because they are raised!"
"They have all escaped from death..."
Lin Yi did not forget to give Little Seven a few more words of caution.
"You can rest assured; I have a sense of proportion in what I do!"
Lin Yi smiled and left the room with Little Seven. In the hall outside, many staff members were sitting in front of computers, busy clattering away at their keyboards. Others were staring at the images on the big screen.
Lin Yi left the hall and returned to the surface. Little Seven flapped its wings and circled a few times, then flew straight into the distance. It didn't stop until its figure completely disappeared into the night.
Lin Yi did not go back just yet, but looked up at the night sky in the distance. He had returned to rest, while Wei Shang, Feng Lei, Wei Nan, and Captain Shan Kui had all taken the Right Division Guard to clear out the other two feeding grounds in Xinghai City.
There weren't many people at the feeding grounds, and the defenses weren't that tight. Therefore, Lin Yi did not go with them.
"It should be about over by now, right?" Lin Yi said with a light smile. After a while, he turned around and walked back toward the underground intelligence center.
When he arrived in front of the big screen and looked at the situation in the images, the battle at the feeding ground that Wei Shang and Feng Lei were responsible for had already ended. The members of the Right Division Guard were cleaning up the battlefield remains. Some of the 'food' that had been captured were also successfully rescued.
However, the other screen was quiet, with no movement at all. Lin Yi frowned slightly, feeling a faint worry in his heart.
Just at this moment, a phone call came in. Lin Yi looked down at his phone; the caller ID was Captain Shan Kui.
"Hello?" "Chief Commander, Wei Nan has met with an accident..."
