"You guys have something to do too?"
Lin Che saw that the other cultivators had retreated, but the Sea Spirit Guard remained where they were, so he took the initiative to ask.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the Sea Spirit Guard, Fu Ming!"
Amidst the Sea Spirit Guards' formation, a middle-aged man in armor strode out. Lightning clung to his body, and the dazzling light emanated from within his armor.
A closer look revealed a thunder leopard totem on the chest of this armor, seemingly imbued with immense power, ready to burst forth at any moment at the master's will.
What a nice armor!
When Lin Che saw Fu Ming bowing, he didn't put on airs and bowed back.
Fu Ming looked at Lin Che and asked, "Should I address you as Zhang Erhe or Lin Che?"
"It's all the same! As a Confucian scholar of the human race, I have a name and a title. It's normal."
Fu Ming seemed to know that it was not that simple. Others did not understand the human race, but he did. But now was not the time to worry about it, so he said:
"Fellow Daoist Lin Che, we received a bounty order for your life. You should be very clear about this..."
"Oh? So, you came here today for the bounty?" Lin Che asked back.
Fu Ming remained calm and composed: "It could be, and it could be not. The one who offered the reward was the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce, and now that they've been massacred by you, naturally no one will continue to offer a reward for you."
Lin Che raised her hand to stop them: "Hey, let me correct you. I wasn't the one who massacred them."
"Oh. If you say it's not, then it's not." Fu Ming didn't want to argue too much about this matter. He continued:
"Although the bounty ended with the destruction of the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce, it's not really over yet. The Great Demon King Ci Minghong of the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce is still alive. Even though he hasn't appeared in the past few years, he's still alive..."
Lin Che simply asked, "After all this talk, what exactly do you Sea Spirit Guards want to do?"
Fu Ming said, "Then I'll be frank. Your Excellency is now surrounded by enemies, which is too dangerous. Especially this bounty, you should cancel it as soon as possible so that you can focus on dealing with the Great Demon King's revenge. If you want to cancel the bounty, it's actually very simple. Just give me what our Sea Spirit Guards want. Our superiors will cancel it immediately."
Lin Che raised his eyebrows. There was no doubt that the Sea Spirit Guards knew that he was quite powerful, so they used this method of negotiation.
But at the same time, Hai Lingwei was able to come and join in the fun and cancel the bounty, so what he wanted must be extremely valuable.
What exactly is it?
"Tell me, what is it?"
"Earth vein essence!" Fu Ming directly said what he wanted, and explained:
"Haha, this thing originally belonged to our Prison-Suppressing Rhino King. However, it was snatched away by that Sea Condensation Nightmare Demoness some time ago. We tracked it down several times without success, and to no avail, we never expected it to fall into the hands of Fellow Daoist Lin Che."
Lin Che pondered for a moment. Even the Prison-Suppressing Rhino King wanted to obtain this "Essence of the Earth Veins", which definitely had a greater purpose.
Otherwise, why would the witch rob the property, the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce repay kindness with hatred, and now even the Prison-Suppressing Rhino King wants to come and rob the property?
At this moment, a smooth female voice suddenly sounded in Lin Che's ears:
"Refuse them, and I'll tell you what this thing is good for."
Lin Che couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard the voice. He looked into the crowd. There were so many cultivators in the crowd, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.
Lin Che said to Fu Ming, "I don't have the essence of the earth veins. What does it look like?"
Fu Ming's expression instantly darkened, and the lightning on his armor seemed to become even more violent.
"Think carefully! Going against us, the Sea Spirit Guards, is going against the will of the Prison-Suppressing Rhino King. It's also going against the entire Mange Port."
Lin Che smiled and said, "I dare not. However, I don't know what this earth vein essence looks like. What is its function? You have to tell me, right?"
Fu Ming was well prepared. He reached into his arms and pulled out a piece of animal skin. There was a stream of light on it, and the essence of the earth veins was clearly depicted.
Lin Che knew at a glance that it was indeed one of the treasures he had obtained from the demon girl.
"How about this. I'll go back and look for it. If I can find it, I'll come back and discuss cooperation with you, the Sea Spirit Guards. How do you think?"
Fu Ming thought for a moment and warned, "Time is short. I'll only give you half a day. Don't blame me for not reminding you, we are Mange Port, you can't afford to mess with us."
Lin Che didn't say another word. What he had just said was just a temporary solution.
He wanted to hear what the woman who transmitted the message wanted to do before making any plans.
When he turned around to go back to the defensive formation, he pretended to suddenly think of something and said to the monks:
"Fellow Daoists, who can cure the Dragon Snail Clan's deadly poison? Help me test the poison on myself and treat the contaminated water source. I will reward you."
When the monks heard this, they all retreated.
What do you mean by testing the poison on yourself? Is that even human? Furthermore, if we enter the city now, what if the great demon king of the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce takes out his wrath on us?
"I can." At this moment, a middle-aged woman came out.
He looks ordinary and his clothes are very ordinary.
Many cultivators shook their heads upon seeing this, thinking, "This man is truly mad because he's broke. He's willing to test the poison on himself." It would be better to risk his life and enter the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land to try his luck, perhaps encountering rare treasures.
"Then it's you."
Lin Che didn't say much and just led her into the defensive formation.
