Lin Yi knew that he couldn’t have the slightest bit of greed or curiosity in the southern part of the island-any one of them could lead to his death.
“It’s indeed abnormal. It seems like something big has happened. Let’s go and take a look.” The ghastly thing said after hesitating for a moment.
“Alright!” Lin Yi didn’t object to it. His logic told him that it was dangerous to keep going, but since the ghost insisted on going, he had to go with it. After all, they were on the same side.
Besides, Lin Yi could see that even in this state where he couldn’t even protect himself, this thing was still very concerned about the spirit beast clan. He said that he didn’t want to go back to the spirit beast clan, but he would subconsciously remember the slightest sign of trouble. To some extent, this Senior Spirit beast was actually a bit of a tsundere.
Lin Yi continued on his way to the core, but he was more careful with every step he took. This was supposed to be a place where powerful spirit beasts gathered, but now it had become so strange. Even if he used his toes to think, he knew that there was something wrong. One wrong move and he would be doomed.
He was careful all the way, and an entire day passed like this. Lin Yi was getting more and more surprised-did something really happen to the spirit beast clan?
Just when Lin Yi was getting a little curious, the voice of the ghost sounded in his head,”Wait, don’t go any further.”
Lin Yi quickly stopped and found a corner to hide himself. He observed the surroundings and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary,”Senior, what did you find?”
“There are many spirit beasts gathering up ahead. Their auras aren’t weak. If you continue, you’ll definitely be discovered.” The ghastly thing said in a deep voice.
“Many spirit beasts gathered?” Lin Yi was surprised-he didn’t sense anything at all, so it seemed like they were still quite a distance away from the gathering place of the spirit beasts. And if these spirit beasts could be evaluated as not weak by this damn thing, they must be very powerful.
“Many spirit beasts have a very unique aura. Even if they consciously hide their aura, it is impossible to completely block it. You human cultivators can’t sense it, but you can’t hide it from my perception.” The ghastly thing explained.
“Then … What should we do now?” Lin Yi asked. Since there were powerful spirit beasts in front of them, it would be suicide for a human practitioner like him to go there recklessly. However, if he retreated now, it would go against his original intention. After all, he only knew that there were many spirit beasts gathered together, but he didn’t know what was going on.
“Yes, we can’t go any further for safety reasons.” The demonic thing pondered for a moment. He did want to know what had happened to the spirit beast clan, but he had to ensure Lin Yi’s safety first. He couldn’t let Lin Yi take too big of a risk.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the ghostly thing would rather choose to retreat. In any case, if something really happened to the spirit beast clan, there was nothing it could do in its current state. It could only be a bystander.
“Alright,” he said. Lin Yi wouldn’t force it since it said so. Even if he wanted to help, he had to be strong enough first. At least, he was only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden core realm. He was far from being able to meddle in the affairs of the spirit beast clan.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi carefully retracted his aura and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the ghost suddenly shouted,””Don’t move!”
At the same time, a wave of powerful spirit sense swept across the top of Lin Yi’s head. Lin Yi didn’t think that he was weak, but compared to the owner of this spirit sense, he was at most a grain of sand. The owner of this spirit sense was at least a vast sea of sand. There was no comparison at all.
The shock that Lin Yi felt was even greater than when he was facing the evil cultivator leader, West Mountain old sect. The feeling of goosebumps all over his body made Lin Yi feel what it meant to be out of his reach.
“This is …” Lin Yi couldn’t help but take a deep breath, carefully communicating with the ghost in his mind.
The ghastly thing was silent for a moment before it slowly said two words in an extremely complicated tone,””Vermillion Bird.”
Lin Yi fell silent. No wonder it was so terrifying. No wonder a spiritual sense was so much more shocking than that of West Mountain old sect. It was a top-tier elder of the spirit beast clan!
It was no wonder that just a single spirit sense was so hot and terrifying. Even Lin Yi, who was used to using wild fire, couldn’t handle it. So it was the Vermilion Bird, the ancestor of fire.
Other than the former king of the spirit beasts, a top elder like the Vermillion Bird was the peak existence of the spirit beast clan. The spirit beast clan had always strictly followed the law of the jungle. The top elder could intimidate so many powerful spirit beasts, so one could imagine how terrifying his strength was.
But then Lin Yi remembered that the thing in the Jade space was once at the same level as the Vermillion Bird, so there shouldn’t be too much of a difference between their strength.
He’d known long ago that this thing was a top-tier elder of the spirit beasts, but he didn’t know how strong it was at its peak. He’d even speculated about the levels of human practitioners in private-nascent, xuansheng, mountain split … He’d even laughed at Sky Class full cultivation back in the common world … But now he finally had a taste of it.
At the same time, Lin Yi subconsciously broke out in cold sweat. Luckily, the first time he met this thing in the common world, it was already a broken essence spirit. Otherwise, if it still had one ten-thousandth of its strength, he wouldn’t even know how he died …
After a long silence, Lin Yi finally snapped out of it and asked,””Senior, are we still going?”
As the top elders of the spirit beast clan, the Vermilion Bird and the demonic creature were obviously on good terms. However, only the demonic creature knew whether their relationship was good or bad, and whether they were friends or enemies.
“Are you leaving or not?” The ghastly thing half-laughed at himself and half-explained,””Let me put it this way. If I was in my Prime, the Vermilion Bird would have to call me big brother. However, if he finds out that I’m in my current state, he’ll definitely do everything he can to make me lose my soul. Of course, you’ll also be burned to ashes along with me.”
“Ugh … Then it’s better to leave now …” Lin Yi shrunk his head back and was about to continue retreating. He could still rely on that thing to scare the old sect of West Mountain away, but if it was the Vermilion Bird, he wouldn’t be able to get away. (To be continued.) ”
