There are Sea Demons beneath Sea Temple Island!
This was a secret unknown even to the Leading Families of Jiangnan's thirteen cities; an esoteric truth that ordinary people were not qualified to know. Only a handful of Seventh Grade Martial Ancestors, like Feng Lang and Niu Taishan, were privy to it. This was also why, every ten years after the island's ownership changed hands, its new masters were required to visit the Lin Family in Jiangbei—to request aid. A mere one or two Seventh Grade Martial Ancestors could never fend off the Sea Demons lurking beneath the waves, a constant threat to humankind. In return, of course, the Lin Family collected 30 percent of Sea Temple Island's annual profits.

In truth, he had. But because of Su Daiyi's disrespectful treatment, Lin Yong never mentioned such a critical piece of information.
