"Li Yi, how are you? Are you alright?"
After Huo Hong left with his people, Bai Sinan asked indifferently.
Li Yi had just had a truly narrow escape from death, and it never occurred to him that a warrior of the Spirit Power Realm would be so shaless as to attack him directly within Base Six. If Bai Sinan hadn’t intervened, there was a high likelihood that he would have died, even if he was wearing armor made from Transcendent tal, which might not have been able to withstand that strike.
However, had he not been killed by that strike just now, he would certainly have released the fierce ghost, causing a paranormal event, and creating a situation where both the entire Base Six and he would perish together.
"I’m fine." He cald down and then spoke, "Thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would already be dead."
"I am a person who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and grudges. Previously, I failed to safely escort you to the Golden Academy, nearly causing you to et with disaster, and that was my fault. Now, stepping in to protect you is compensation for that." Bai Sinan said, "How did you, a newcor, manage to offend Huo Hong?"
"Soone gifted him a storage Magic Artifact to target . I didn’t expect he would dare to attack inside the training base." Li Yi said, "Within the Golden Academy, are warriors of the Spirit Power Realm so arrogant that they can kill at will?"
"No."
Bai Sinan said calmly, "However, Huo Hong is an exception. He had already killed two students in the past, which is why he was sent to Base Six. Before the Sky Tipping World is conquered, he can never leave here to return to the Golden Academy, and he must participate in every mission. But Huo Hong has no desire to go back; he’s gotten used to staying here. So, this punishnt doesn’t an much to him. Even if he had truly killed you, the Golden Academy would not sentence him to death."
"Nowadays, there is a shortage of hands, so the Golden Academy would not execute a master of the Spirit Power Realm simply because of a student in the Spiritual Realm. At most, they would assign him a few more dangerous missions, making him kill more genetic warriors. But for Huo Hong, who has always stayed inside the base, it’s just a drop in the ocean."
"So that’s how it is..." Li Yi’s expression darkened.
He hadn’t expected that a warrior of the Spirit Power Realm would still have such special privileges. Killing two students without being executed; instead, he was sent to the Sky Tipping World to participate in battle. While this indeed extracts value from a strong warrior of the Spirit Power Realm, it also makes the other cultivators of the sa realm more reckless.
Compared to Huo Hong, the adjudicator Du Bai Zhi seed quite gentle in her thods.
Bai Sinan continued, "Li Yi, I protected you this ti because I happened to pass by and saw what was happening. If you encounter Huo Hong again and he attempts to attack you, even if I wanted to help you, I would be powerless to do so. You must be clear about this. Therefore, if you want to rid yourself of this trouble, you should plan ahead. Either leave the Sky Tipping World for the Golden Academy to avoid him,"
"Or, take this mission as an opportunity to sneak deep into the Sky Tipping World, diligently cultivate, and strive to reach the Spirit Power Realm. Then you will have no reason to fear him."
What Bai Sinan ant was clear; he couldn’t always be by Li Yi’s side to protect him. The intervention just now was to repay a debt, and it was highly unlikely that he would intervene on Li Yi’s behalf in the future. Li Yi would have to rely on himself.
Li Yi said, "I cannot leave Base Six to return to the Golden Academy, I have a hunting mission."
"It seems you too have been involved in so trouble, which is why you were sent here. Well, you can join my team for tonight’s mission. I will arrange a relatively safe route for you to cross the enemy lines and completely break into the Sky Tipping World. If successful, you might still have a chance to turn the tide. If you fail, then I’m afraid I can’t help." Bai Sinan said.
"That’s good enough, thank you." Li Yi said with a hint of gratitude.
Bai Sinan waved his hand and said, "Don’t thank . All I am doing now is compensation. After tonight, my debt to you will be paid, and thereafter, we’ll have no more ties."
His attitude remained haughty, unwilling to get too involved with Li Yi, as he sensed trouble around him.
The fact that soone would pay the price of a storage Magic Artifact to have Li Yi killed ant that the situation behind him involved more than just Huo Hong. It certainly implicated other masters of the Spirit Power Realm, and he did not wish to offend several masters just for a newcor he hardly knew.
Li Yi did not speak; he understood in his heart. After all, he had no close relationship with Bai Sinan, and it was already incredibly generous for the other to save him.
"Bai Sinan, let’s go. It’s ti to set up the mission for tonight." At this mont, the woman nad Tao Lu ca over and said.
"Okay."
Bai Sinan nodded, then continued, "Everyone, follow . This mission is highly dangerous, and you must be fully prepared. Also, I don’t want to see any infighting happening again. If it does, I will not show any rcy."
A chill ran through everyone’s hearts, and they remained silent.
Soon,
Bai Sinan and Tao Lu each led their teams to a war room inside Base Six to rest, while discussing the plan for the night’s operation.
The battle map was a three-dinsional hologram, and everyone could clearly see Base Six standing like an isolated island amidst a wasteland of ruins.
Around Base Six, the enemy had established a total of three lines of defense, tightly encircling the base. It seed that just one large-scale strike with lethal weapons sent their way could obliterate Base Six. However, the enemy had not done so because Base Six was not just a simple base but represented the entire Sky Tipping World.
