Could it be…
He Song forcefully suppressed the urge to ask about the reason.
He just stared at Zhao Lin without blinking, wanting to hear what he would say next.
Up ahead.
Zhao Lin bowed to He Song with a solemn expression.
“I’ve broken my promise. The person I entrusted with the task was killed several days ago, and your spirit field has been left untended for several days.”
For the past half month since he left the Immortal Pavilion…
Everything had been going smoothly.
The person Zhao Lin found, for the sake of thirty spirit stones in remuneration, naturally tended to He Song’s spirit field diligently.
However, things took an unexpected turn several days ago.
The person was suddenly killed.
When Zhao Lin returned today, he learned of everything and discovered that He Song’s spirit field had been left untended for several days.
In light of this terrible news, Zhao Lin felt he had let down He Song’s trust, which was why he came to He Song’s residence hoping to make amends.
But unexpectedly, while hesitating outside He Song’s house, he was seen by He Song, who had just returned home.
And so, the current situation unfolded.
However…
As Zhao Lin bowed and apologized to He Song, the latter let out a sigh of relief after hearing his words.
With no one tending the spirit field and inadequate spirit Qi supply, the yield would naturally decrease somewhat.
If this had persisted for ten days or half a month with insufficient spirit Qi supply, the decreased yield would then become irredeemable.
Luckily, he had only been gone for several days, so the situation was still manageable.
He had thought something more serious had happened.
So that’s it?
“It’s not a big deal. It’s only been a few days. I’ll just use the Spirit Rain Skill for an extra hour later, and the spirit Qi will naturally be replenished. There won’t be any losses, so you’re taking this matter too seriously,” said He Song, waving his hand to show that he didn’t mind.
Since there was no loss, the death of the person who was previously responsible wasn’t related to He Song.
Naturally, He Song didn’t care too much about it.
In his view, Zhao Lin’s reaction was a bit excessive.
“Ah, I must have entrusted the wrong person. If any consequences truly arise, you’re welcome to come find me, and I will make up for the losses, ” Zhao Lin hurriedly promised.
This was his fault, so he would naturally bear any losses caused by it.
Though Zhao Lin was usually cautious, he was sensible enough to not let He Song bear the responsibility for this.
Keep in mind that He Song had already paid for this.
Although the person was dead and the agreed-upon thirty spirit stones were no longer needed as a reward, Zhao Lin still bore the responsibility for the incident.
To the side.
Seeing Zhao Lin like this, He Song could only helplessly wave his hand.
However, He Song soon remembered the matter Wei Fan had mentioned to him.
“If you can’t get over it, my friend is helping me apply for the position of Medicine Garden Manager. If you could put in a good word for me, we can consider the matter settled,” He Song proposed.
When he was with Wei Fan, the latter had mentioned this idea.
Although Wei Fan was a steward and a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator, he belonged to the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Helping He Song apply for a position in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion was not impossible, but if Zhao Lin, who was also a manager in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, submitted an application for He Song, his chances of becoming the manager would be even greater.
Now, taking advantage of this opportunity to settle this matter would be a good thing.
“Alright, consider it done,” agreed Zhao Lin upon hearing He Song’s words.
He Song had made it clear in his words that his friend was helping him apply for the position of Medicine Garden Manager.
It didn’t matter who the friend was; what mattered was that someone was leading the effort, and all he had to do was submit the application.
At that time, regardless of whether He Song became the manager or not, Zhao Lin would still consider the matter settled.
With that in mind, Zhao Lin had no reason to refuse.
Having come to an agreement, the atmosphere between the two naturally became more amicable.
In He Song’s residence.
The two exchanged cups of tea that were as fragrant and delightful as wine.
Time flew by.
After the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team descended upon Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion and left, He Song resumed his peaceful life.
At the same time, he quickly learned from other people in the Immortal Pavilion what the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team had been up to during the half-month they spent there.
Initially.
When the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team arrived at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, most of the cultivators had no idea what was about to happen.
Just like Zhao Lin, who hadn’t planned on running away originally.
They even believed that the arrival of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team would improve the atmosphere in the Immortal Pavilion.
However, after the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team successfully took control of the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team, ordered them to conduct a self-inspection, and smoothly purged several Evil Cultivators from their ranks…
The developments took everyone at the Immortal Pavilion by surprise.
Once the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team completely took control of the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team…
and thoroughly eradicated the malignant tumors within the ranks, they began to target the other cultivators.
Under the leadership of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team…
The Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team scattered to apprehend people characterized as notorious individuals, with any resistance met with instant execution.
In addition, some Immortal Pavilion cultivators and loose cultivators inexplicably disappeared.
This included wealthy cultivators and loose cultivators who had amassed fortunes through the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.
Their residences were either left in ruin or remained untouched.
But they all shared one commonality.
Members of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team had visited their residences.
Initially, all of this happened discreetly.
Until that day.
When the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team and the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team launched a joint operation, they executed a steward and two managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion on the spot, and conducted an inquisition of all the people there.
Those found to have issues were executed on the spot, while the others were allowed to leave freely.
The missing individuals were also pushed out one by one, and subsequently executed.
On that day, executions outside of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion caused heads to roll and blood to flow like a river.
At the same time, a piece of news also spread.
A steward and two managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion had colluded with Evil Cultivators, deliberately allowing them to join the Immortal Pavilion. The Immortal City Law Enforcement Team was ordered to eliminate the Evil Cultivators in one fell swoop.
The Immortal City Law Enforcement Team was about to leave.
They wanted to use this as a deterrent.
The spread of this news, coupled with the massacre in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, etched this day into the minds of everyone at the Immortal Pavilion.
However, just as He Song learned of this news…
Another explosive piece of news shook the entire Green Wall Immortal City.
The Immortal City Law Enforcement Team, which had just left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion…
was attacked on their way back to Green Wall Immortal City.
Two Qi-refining mid-stage cultivators were killed on the spot, one Qi-refining late-stage cultivator was besieged and killed, and the remaining two Qi-refining late-stage cultivators only managed to escape with their lives using their life-saving aces..
