Chapter 6239
6239 The first elders “meeting
“Alright, I’ll be there immediately!” Lin Yi nodded slightly and told li Zao Yi to be careful so that he could go into seclusion and refine elixirs before li Zao Yi came back. Then, he followed the spirit beast Master out of the side hall.
After walking for a while, the spirit beast Master brought Lin Yi to the meeting hall. It was a smaller Hall than yesterday ‘S. Lin Yi guessed that the king of spirit beasts wouldn’t be attending today, so he moved from the hall to here.
After entering the meeting hall, Lin Yi realized that he was the first one to arrive. There was an oval-shaped table in the empty Hall, and the main chair was slightly bigger and more luxurious, probably reserved for the king of spirit beasts. Although he wouldn’t be attending, he had to show respect.
There were four chairs on each side. It was obvious that they were for the elders of the inner and outer hall. The only interesting thing was the number. Eight chairs. Zheng Dongsheng was also arranged among them. This substitute elder was not qualified to attend. Now it seemed that the situation was somewhat unpredictable.
Lin Yi walked into the hall slowly, not thinking much just because he was the first to be called in. He looked around leisurely, admiring some decorations. To be honest, the decorations of the spirit beast clan were rough and bold, and there was nothing to admire if you looked closely.
A while later, the second person entered the meeting hall-it was elder Zheng Dongsheng. Lin Yi chuckled to himself-was the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon trying to tell him that his position among the outer hall elders was lower than elder Zheng Dongsheng ‘s?
“Lin Yi, I heard that you’re with my Tianqing and dongjue. Where are they now?” Zheng Dongsheng saw that there was no one in the hall and immediately asked in a deep voice. He came to the South continent this time for Zheng dongjue and Zheng Tianqing, but he did not expect that he could not find them at all.
He heard from the spirit beast clan that they disappeared with Lin Yi. He wanted to ask yesterday, but the king of spirit beasts and the four elders were there, so he didn’t dare to ask. Now that he finally had the chance to be alone with Lin Yi, he couldn’t miss it.
“How should I know? Are you asking me to help you look after your child?” Lin Yi’s lips curled up as he looked at Zheng Dongsheng with a hint of mockery.
Zheng Dongsheng paused. He wasn’t friends with Lin Yi, so it was normal for Lin Yi not to tell him. He might not believe it if Lin Yi told him directly.
“Lin Yi, there are some misunderstandings between us, but we’re both humans. In a place controlled by spirit beasts like the South continent, we should put aside our differences and work together to get through this. After all, it’s our own business to fight behind closed doors. It’s not good to let the spirit beasts laugh at us.” Zheng Dongsheng took a deep breath and lowered his voice to persuade Lin Yi. It didn’t matter how sincere he was, Lin Yi’s impression of this old man had changed.
“What you said makes sense. Human cultivators do need to unite against outsiders. Otherwise, the spirit beast clan will swallow us up sooner or later.” Lin Yi smiled faintly and lowered his voice as well. He hated the Zheng family, but it would be good if he could get Zheng Dongsheng’s help in this situation.
“Not bad, Lin Yi, you’re able to see the big picture-you’re indeed the leader of the younger generation!” Zheng Dongsheng gave a thumbs up and praised. He carefully observed the door of the meeting hall. When he saw that no one came in, he continued in a low voice,””We must unite against the outside world, so tell me the whereabouts of my brother and grandson. While you’re in the South continent, the Zheng family will do our best to help you.”
He didn’t know what happened to the two idiots Zheng dongjue and Zheng Tianqing after they were separated from Lin Yi in the illusion fog space, but it wasn’t a big deal to tell Zheng Dongsheng about the illusion fog space. Azure Dragon knew about it, so if Zheng Dongsheng had the courage to ask Azure Dragon, he could get the news too.
Lin Yi thought that it was worth it to tell Zheng Dongsheng about this, but before he could explain, someone came in.
“The two of them are trapped in a secret realm. I’ll tell you in detail when there’s a chance. You can come and find me later.” Lin Yi said quickly in a low voice and walked to the long oval table. He randomly picked the third chair and sat down.
This time, it was the man with the black bamboo hat who came from the center. Following closely behind him was the Prince of the sea beasts, Xiao Xiao. The two of them had probably met by chance outside the door. Although they were allies, they did not seem to be very close.
Lin Yi had always wanted to destroy the spirit beast clan’s three-way Alliance. Seeing the man in the black bamboo hat and Xiao Yan’s actions, he suddenly felt a slight change in his heart. He felt that if the two weren’t close enough, he could use this as an opportunity to get something out of it!
The man with the black bamboo hat and Xiao Yan came in one after the other. He ignored Zheng Dongsheng and Lin Yi who arrived first and went straight to the long table. The man didn’t stop and sat down on the chair next to Lin Yi, leaving the first seat for Xiao Yan.
Even though the Vermillion Bird was the one who initiated the spirit beast clan’s plan, the center of the group was still the main force behind the plan. On the other hand, the sea beast clan was only there to obtain some benefits. To put it bluntly, they were here because of their status as mercenaries. As such, the man with the black bamboo hat did not fight for the first position. He wanted to make Xiao Xiao happy so that he could better cooperate with their plan.
Xiao Yan was satisfied with this and sat down beside the man in the black bamboo hat. As the Prince of the sea beast tribe, Xiao Yan felt that he was born to be the one with the highest status here!
Zheng Dongsheng was overjoyed after hearing Lin Yi’s words. As long as he knew about the two, he would find them. As for what he said to Lin Yi, he would see how it went when he got the news!
The three outer hall elders were already seated, and Zheng Dongsheng sat down on the last chair beside Lin Yi. The four of them didn’t have any interest in talking and just waited for Vermillion Bird and the others.
As Xiao Yan, the Prince of the sea beasts, and the central representative were present, the four elders of the inner sect did not dare to put on too much airs. Very quickly, they came together. However, the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and black Tortoise groups were clearly separated. Although they entered the door together, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were not of the same group.
Not long after Zheng Dongsheng sat down, he saw the four elders appear and immediately stood up to welcome them. He was only a substitute elder of the outer hall, and his strength was extremely low. How could he dare to be as arrogant as Xiao Yan and the others?
Xiao Yan and the man in the black bamboo hat didn’t move. They only turned around and nodded at the four elders as a greeting. With their status, they had no reason to lower themselves to greet the elders of the spirit beast clan. Lin Yi didn’t care either. He was already giving them face by smiling and maintaining his manners.
The four elders greeted the four people in front of them and sat down.
