At this moment, Lin Yi put away the giant sea eel and came to the beach.
Jin Xun'er stuck out her bright blue fangs and said, "Lin Yi, what are you planning to do with these people?"
"Are you angry?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
Jin Xun'er snorted and said, "If this were Rouran, anyone who dared to lay a hand on me would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago. I won't get angry with a dead man."
"Let's go. Elephants don't bother with ants. Aren't you curious why I came here? You'll find out soon enough."
As Lin Yi spoke, he picked up the golden spider and then disappeared on the beach.

Chapter 185 Misfortune and Fortune are Intertwined, Mysterious Scripture
This scene was like a dream. Just as the people hiding in the nearby woods were filled with suspicion, a white dot suddenly emerged from the depths of the sea. It swam closer and closer, and the white dot grew larger and larger, like a whale!
The waves rolled, and a huge shark, its entire body silvery-white, the color of a newly minted silver coin, appeared on the surface of the sea.
This shark is larger than most people can imagine. Standing next to it, a person looks like a kitten looking at a giant elephant.
On the shark's back sat a beautiful young girl, dressed in a pure white dress, holding a jade flute of emerald green, barefoot, sitting on the shark's head, playing with the seawater with her feet.
The girl in white murmured to herself, "When did such a master appear in the world? Accompanied by golden spiders, could he be a disciple of the Golden Spider Dharma King? No, even if he were the Golden Spider Dharma King, he wouldn't be as powerful as this person."
The silvery-white shark sank back into the sea, and the girl's murmur was quickly shattered by the wind and waves.
………………
A vast plain unfolded before Lin Yi's eyes.
The vast plain was divided into large plots of land, with houses, irrigation ditches, waterwheels, mills, cattle, horses, and so on beside them.
Roads wind their way through the fields, much like the official roads of the Great Qian Dynasty.
In the center of the plain is a city, which, at a glance, covers several thousand acres and is not very large, just like a county town.
Within the city walls stood tall buildings, and soldiers could be faintly seen defending the walls, with banners fluttering in the wind.
Even though Lin Yi already knew from the nautical charts that there was a mountain city on the island called Giant Whale City, which was the base of a pirate gang in Bewitching Bay, he was still deeply shocked to see it with his own eyes!
"Are they pirates? Not from the same country?"
Lin Yi found it somewhat unbelievable. In his mind, pirates were ships, dilapidated mountain strongholds, and caves. Even powerful pirates were nothing more than water fortresses built of huge logs.
However, these pirates had actually built a city on the central plains of Whale Island! They had also begun planting crops and raising livestock. It was as if they were establishing their own kingdom at sea and ruling the land as kings!
The Giant Whale Plain covers hundreds of thousands of hectares and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a natural barrier. The plain has fertile soil and abundant water, making it a huge granary.
Building cities and farming on the islands here would make it a great base for development.
"Impressive, impressive!" Lin Yi clapped his hands in admiration. He sincerely admired the leader of the pirates on Whale Island.
This is the kind of person who deserves to be called the "Pirate King".
Unfortunately, his hero is my enemy.
The Great Qian Dynasty will never tolerate the rise of this group of pirates from Giant Whale Island; disaster is imminent.
Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Having a wise and capable leader was both a blessing and a hidden source of trouble for the pirates of Whale Island.
Lin Yi seemed to have already seen that in the near future, the prosperity here would be reduced to ashes in the flames of war.
If born in a chaotic era, the leader here might be able to dominate a region, establish a kingdom, and even contend for the throne.
Unfortunately, the Great Qian Dynasty is currently at its zenith.
Even a martial arts holy land like the Great Zen Temple, with its thousand-year-old heritage and profound foundation, was reduced to ashes. How could a mere band of pirates possibly stir up any trouble?
Lin Yi even maliciously speculated that the reason why the Jinghai Army of Nanzhou allowed the pirates of Mihun Bay to grow stronger was so that they could reap a large amount of military merit at once and have everyone in the army well-fed.
Using a trick of deception, Lin Yi led Jin Xun'er as if they were in an empty place, arriving at the mansion in the center of the city.
What comes into view are tall walls, stone lions, copper nails and vermilion gates, and a huge plaque with bright yellow characters that read "Royal Palace of the Giant Whale Kingdom"!
This group of pirates has actually established a country.
"What a pity, what a pity," Lin Yi said, shaking his head.
Establishing a kingdom and becoming a king are two different concepts.
The former is blatant rebellion, while the latter, no matter how prestigious their reputation, is ultimately just a mob.
No matter how much the Jinghai Army in Nanzhou pretended to be deaf and dumb, they dared not delay any longer.
The pirates of Whale Island are like grasshoppers in autumn; they won't be able to hop around for much longer.
"Lin Yi, what are you looking for?" Jin Xun'er couldn't contain her curiosity and asked again.
Lin Yi's divine sense spread like mercury, enveloping the entire royal palace of the Giant Whale Kingdom.
Unlike Taishi Mountain, which has been managed by the Great Zen Temple for countless years and has various arrangements to prevent ghosts and immortals from traveling around, this place is much easier to scan with divine sense.
"Found it." Lin Yi took a step and appeared on an open space next to an underground river.
"Shattered the void, six tribulations of lightning?" Jin Xun'er, perched on Lin Yi's shoulder, exclaimed in surprise.
