The Senior Uncle of Long Cheng

Lin Po slung his greatsword over his shoulder and sauntered off in a slightly southwestern direction. With Lin Po's strength, no matter where he went, he always traveled in a straight line between two points—the route that saved the most time. At his level, there was not much in this world that could affect his journey.

Watching Lin Po's retreating back, Lin Qi finally confirmed that the Dead Spirit Abyss lay southwest of Twin Sun Red Dragon City.

Twin Sun Red Dragon City stood in the northwestern interior of the Blood Qin Empire. Due southwest of it lay the Eastern Subcontinent, the territory entrenched by the Miro Divine Cult. It seemed that all the trouble Lin Po and the Miro Divine Cult had stirred up back then truly had some inevitable connection.

Before leaving, Lin Po passed several secret methods and arts of the Miro Divine Cult that he had mastered on to Lin Qi and Hu Xinzhu, who was greatly interested in them. In Hu Xinzhu's words, the Pure Lotus Nine Deaths Nine Lives Myriad Calamities Secret Art was the finest method for enduring torture. He would secretly promote this technique among his trusted subordinates; from then on, the secret agents under the Fengwen Chancellor would all be iron men unafraid of interrogation or cruel torture.

Having passed on the techniques, Lin Po also told Lin Qi quite a few family secrets, such as the family's main stronghold and the means of contacting its various outposts across the other continents. Once Lin Qi knew these things, it meant that he had become the head of the Tiger Clan's branch on the Western Continent—though this branch family now had only Lin Qi as its sole clansman, making it rather bleak and lonely.

But Lin Po had immense confidence in this.
