Lin Yi was even more astute than Wan Jiao.
She gave a soft "hmm" and asked Lin Yi again, "Can you see anything else?"
Lin Yi focused intently on the screen again.
However, it's not very useful.
Wan Jiao's red lips moved slightly. "Close your eyes, channel your spiritual energy into your eyes, adjust your breathing rhythm, and then open them."
Lin Yi obediently did as instructed.
When she opened her eyes again, the world she saw was completely different from before. She could even vaguely see a continuous stream of yin energy emanating from the depths of the Immortal Stele River, making the entire surface of the Immortal Stele River gloomy!
"Captain, I see something in the Immortal Stele River."
"What is it?" Wan Jiao asked Lin Yi again.
"Captain, I can't see clearly, but the yin energy is so strong, I'm sure it's an evil thing." Lin Yi couldn't see clearly, so she naturally couldn't say what it was, but she was honest.
"Oh?" Wan Jiao raised an eyebrow, her eyes holding a deeper meaning as she looked at Lin Yi. "Then tell me, why is it at the bottom of the Immortal Stele River?"
“Captain, I dare to guess that the reason this evil creature is at the bottom of the river is because of the formation in the Alz Autonomous Prefecture. The purpose of that formation is to seal it.”
Lin Yi thought about it seriously for a while and made a summary.
Wan Jiao looked at Lin Yi with increasing satisfaction, and couldn't help but think of the saying "women are not inferior to men".
If Lin Yineng joins Nanshan Temple after its completion, the patriarch will surely be satisfied.
The Security Bureau, far away in the capital, could never have imagined that Wan had already begun to target his own men!
Lin Yiwan stared at her, remaining silent for a long time, her heart filled with unease. "Captain, did I say something wrong?"
“That’s right.” Wan Jiao said, turning around and walking downstairs.
Lin Yi followed closely, "Captain, those wonderful..."
Wan Jiao paused, turned around and made a shushing gesture to Lin Yi, then used her spiritual power to write words in the air to remind her: "Walls have ears."
Lin Yi nodded hurriedly to indicate that she understood, and even humorously raised her hand to make a gesture of zipping up her mouth.
…
As soon as Wan Jiao and her companions entered Immortal Stele City, they attracted the attention of the Immortal Stele Clan's High Priest. While he had people keep a close watch on them, he also continued to arrange for people to find a beautiful bride for the "Immortal Stele River God."
The subordinate, puzzled, asked in a low voice, "Priest, why has the River God been asking you to send his bride down to the river so frequently lately?"
This subordinate was a confidant of the High Priest of the Immortal Stele Clan. Since he asked, the High Priest naturally did not hide anything. "The River God promised me that as long as I send him nine more brides, he will help my Immortal Stele Clan leave the Alz Autonomous State and rule the world."
The members of the Immortal Stele Clan have a secret that cannot be told to outsiders: any Immortal Stele Clan member who leaves the Alz Autonomous State will not live past the age of thirty.
Leaving the Alzheimer's Autonomous Region has always been their dream.
Upon hearing the high priest's words, the subordinate's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "Priest, is what you say true?"
"Would I lie to you?" The high priest said, his tone quite displeased. "This was promised to me personally by the river god when he summoned me eighteen years ago."
"Priest, you've even seen the River God?" the subordinate exclaimed excitedly!
When his subordinate asked, the high priest couldn't help but recall the past eighteen years ago, when he accidentally fell into the Immortal Stele River and was sure to die, but was saved by the river god of the Immortal Stele River.
*The High Priest's Memories*
The river god saved the high priest and told him that he was originally an ancient god who was punished by the heavens for making a mistake and was sent to the Immortal Stele River to atone for his sins, and that he would never leave the Immortal Stele River for eternity.
The high priest, grateful for the river god's life-saving grace, asked out of curiosity, "What mistake did you make?"
River God: "I have fallen in love with Lingyue, the Moon Goddess, who is also a goddess."
The high priest was speechless and angrily said, "What's wrong with love between men and women? Heaven is unjust."
The River God sighed, "I am not afraid of being imprisoned here, and I will protect the Immortal Stele Clan for eternity, but... I will never see Ling Yue again."
The Immortal Stele Clan also cannot do without the Alz Autonomous Prefecture. The High Priest felt that he and the River God had a certain mutual respect, so he took the initiative to talk about this matter, thinking of comforting the River God in this way.
Unexpectedly, the river god asked the high priest, "Do you want to lead your people out of the Alzheimer's Autonomous State?"
Should we go out?
The high priest certainly wanted to.
But... he doesn't have that ability.
Seemingly sensing the high priest's thoughts, the river god spoke each word with conviction: "Though I am a celestial being, I should not do evil. But if I can leave this place to see my Lingyue, what does it matter if I become a demon? And you? Do you want to lead your people out of the Alz Autonomous Prefecture? What price are you willing to pay for this?"
After a moment's thought, the high priest declared decisively, "Everything!"
River God: "Very well, today I will sign a contract with you. If you can help me leave this Immortal Stele River, I will help your Immortal Stele Clan leave the Alz Autonomous State and become the ruler of this world."
The high priest believed in the river god.
He's a god, how could he deceive a mere mortal like himself?
Thinking of the Immortal Stele Clan, who seemed free for generations but were actually "imprisoned" here, the High Priest knelt down devoutly, "Honorable River God, what do you need me to do for you?"
River God: "Send down 999 more brides for me..."
*End of Memories*
“I have seen them.” The high priest responded and urged his subordinates, “Remember, the last nine brides, the sooner the better.”
"Yes, Your Excellency."

Lin Yi relayed Wan Jiao's words verbatim to Qi Mingyu and the others, who immediately changed rooms after hearing them.
Lin Yi originally wanted to exchange for it, but she felt that Wan Jiao wouldn't say anything useless. Since she said "it is not recommended to exchange", it was definitely best not to exchange.
