"So you're saying that Su Qianzhong wasn't captured by you in the end, but escaped on his own?"
On the sea, Lin Ce looked at Wu Renshi in front of him, his eyes flashing.
Yes, that's right.
Wu Renshi nodded and smiled ingratiatingly.
However, he could no longer laugh the next moment.
A huge wave suddenly surged up on the sea surface as Lin Ce forcefully pushed off the water.
With such force, almost the instant the giant wave was created, he had already used the momentum to rush to Wu Renshi's side.
"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"
With a single punch, Lin Ce knocked away the hastily unfolded scroll from his opponent's hands, then grabbed Wu Renshi by the neck and lifted him up in the same manner.
"If Su Qianzhong successfully escaped, why do you still dare to demand ransom from the Su family under this pretext?"
Wu Renshi's face turned deathly pale.
First, her thoughts had been read; second, Lin Ce was gripping her neck, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"You tell them, otherwise your two brothers will have their heads snapped off, and I don't know if you'll even be able to reattach them?"
Lin Ce stopped asking Wu Renshi questions and instead looked at the other member of the Four Evils.
It was indeed the "miraculous healer of Yama".
"The Miraculous Healer" trembled slightly.
In the past, when he removed parts from other people's bodies, he would often look at their trembling bodies and enjoy that overflowing sense of pleasure.
But it wasn't until this moment, in front of Lin Ce, that he realized that even the Four Evils could be so vulnerable.
This was not an encounter with an irresistible force like that of a grandmaster-level martial artist.
But Lin Ce, who was also at the Innate level, was someone they couldn't resist.
"Su Qianzhong was attacked and fell into the 'Sea Abyss'. According to our estimation, his chances of survival are probably not high."
When he said those words, his face was ashen.
He knew very well that once those words were spoken, there would be no turning back.
However, keeping quiet will also make it difficult to solve the immediate problem.
"Did it fall into the 'Abyss'?"
Lin Ce frowned.
He had heard of the name "Haiyuan".
It is a very mysterious place in the sea, and it appears in various places from time to time.
It is said that the "abyss" leads to a place even deeper than the bottom of the infinitely deep sea.
"I've only heard my third brother mention it; I don't know the exact location of the 'Sea Abyss'."
The "miracle healer" turned his gaze to Wu Renshi.
Lin Ce slightly withdrew the force in his hand, allowing Wu Renshi to catch his breath.
"Cough cough..."
Wu Renshi took a few difficult breaths before speaking:
“I do know the location of that ‘Sea Abyss’ and I even marked it. If Chief Escort Lin is interested, I can lead the way there to rescue the fifth young master of the Su family.”
He looked at Lin Ce.
However, Lin Ce just gave a cold smile.
"Don't try to play these little tricks on me. First, return the Grandmaster's Manual. You can go to 'Sea Abyss' yourself. You have five days to send Su Qianzhong back."
"Chief Escort Lin..."
Wu Renshi was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he abruptly flew backward.
But this was just an unnecessary action; Lin Ce never intended to attack him.
Besides him, the other two villains were attacked by Lin Ce at almost the same time.
On the sea, Lin Ce's two figures appeared in an instant, easily injuring the other two villains.
After his own strength increased dramatically, martial arts such as "Shadow-Sweeping Wind Leg" also rose in power, becoming incredibly powerful when used.
On the sea, Wu Renshi's hands and feet were ice cold.
Not long ago, Lin Ce "picked" the other three villains and left.
The reason for using the word "挑" (picking/picking) is that after Lin Ce severely injured the three villains, he strung them all together on his spear, just like candied hawthorns.
He felt that with only two hands, it would be difficult for three people to lift it.
The spear deliberately avoided vital points, and since innate martial artists have strong enough vitality, the three evil ones would not be in mortal danger in the short term.
Watching Lin Ce walk away into the distance, Wu Renshi felt utterly hopeless.
He wasn't lying this time; Su Qianzhong had indeed fallen into the "Sea Abyss" while he was pursuing her.
However, Lin Ce asked him to send Su Qianzhong back within five days, but he had no confidence whatsoever.
Can people who fall into the "abyss" really be found?
He was disheartened and almost wanted to give up everything and escape alone.
If we disregard the safety of the other three evils, this might be the best option.
But soon, he shook his head with a wry smile.
The Four Evils were able to establish themselves in the martial arts world because of their collective existence.
With the four of them working together, unless a grandmaster intervenes, no one in the martial arts world can do anything to them.
It is clear that grandmaster martial artists are few in number, and most of them are too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
But then they encountered a powerful and eccentric martial artist like Lin Ce.
He was not a grandmaster, yet he could ignore the suppression of martial arts intent, making fourth-rank martial artists feel restricted and unable to unleash their true strength.
Given his current situation, even if he escapes and loses the other three villains, it will be difficult for him to establish himself in the martial arts world.
Many martial artists who used to tremble at the mere mention of the Four Evils will surely flock here, eager to take their heads.
These people either acted out of hatred or simply wanted to take his head and make a name for themselves.
Although he considered himself to be quite skilled in martial arts, he knew he could never withstand such a situation.
Not to mention, Lin Ce might come knocking on our door again at that time.
The thought of defeating the "evil hero" with a single punch, a god-like or demonic opponent, sent chills down his spine.
"Fine, let's go take a look. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."
Now he knew he had no other choice.
It all started because Lin Ce was involved.
The thought of deliberately dragging the other person into this so he could gain access to their special physique made him want to slap himself.
Greed truly is the devil.
However, a question couldn't help but arise in his mind again.
"Back on the ship, Lin Ce was powerful, but not to such an absurd degree. What could have caused him to improve so much in just a few days?"
Unaware of the existence of the "King of Escorts" system, he was destined to never understand this point.
Lin Ce quickly returned to the Sihai Escort Agency in Sanjiang County.
He brought back information obtained from the Four Evils.
The master's secret manual was also returned to Su Caiying.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if this shipment would ultimately succeed.
But at least this trip didn't take too many days, and no one in the escort agency was injured. Even if the escort mission failed, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Although I didn't receive any system rewards, I got a master-level martial art for free, so it wasn't a bad deal.
Is that so?
Su Caiying frowned slightly and quickly relayed the message back.
The Su family also sprang into action.
Their goal was to travel to the sea and find the "Sea Abyss" mentioned by the Four Evils.
However, before that, a powerful martial artist from the Su family arrived at the Sihai Escort Agency.
"Chief镖师 Lin, why did you turn back? Why didn't you keep a close watch on that 'Thousand-Faced Impermanence'? What if he escaped?"
