Chapter 325 - 223: The Door That Was Opened
An evening passed swiftly.
The next day, long before noon, the cultivators participating in the cross-border event had already gathered early in the conference room, and through mutual conversations, Li Yi got to know their names and identities.
Xu Qiumei, a member of the Cross-border Organization, reportedly recommended by someone from the Golden Academy.
Qin Bing and Li Yi were external operatives from the investigation bureau, granted cross-border opportunities due to their merits, only they hailed from different cities; Li Yi was from Tianchang City Investigation Bureau, while the other was from Tianshan City Investigation Bureau.
Another participant was a woman named Zhang Jing, with unclear background information, but it was said that she had spent a lot of money to purchase a cross-border spot.
This revelation surprised Li Yi as he learned that cross-border spots could actually be bought, showing that capitalists were ubiquitous. However, he was puzzled as to why someone would choose to join the first batch going cross-border when exploring a new world because those in the initial batch faced the greatest risks.
The second and third groups to cross borders would be safer because they could rely on information from those who had gone before them, knowing more about the new world and feeling somewhat more confident.
As for the last man, named Tao Yuan, his identity information was confidential, but his solemn and proper demeanor made it apparent that he was definitely an expert from the military.
With five individuals and the captain Zhang Xun making six, this was the complete team for the cross-border operation.
But while Li Yi was sizing up the others, they were also observing him.
"Compared to yesterday, Li Yi’s aura seems even stronger, and he feels more dangerous. He’s an oddity; I can clearly sense his strength has improved just overnight. Last night, Xu Qiumei came to me, wanting to team up to eliminate Li Yi. Now, it seems I was right to decline," Qin Bing glanced at Li Yi, his heart sinking.
