Chapter 6288
6288 Maybe she’s acting
The 20 guards were the team that was escorting them this time. Although there were not many of them, they were all experts at the earth splitting stage and above. The leader was even a commander at the sea splitting stage. They were quite a powerful force and were not much weaker than the guards around Xiao Yan.
The only thing they needed to worry about was that if these guys turned around and attacked them from the inside, their group would be doomed.
When they arrived at the city gate, the man with the black bamboo hat was already waiting for them. The man with the red Bamboo hat from before was nowhere to be seen. He had probably left the capital first.
Before leaving, Lin Yi really wanted to see the big fire Lion one last time, but he didn’t know where he was now. In order to avoid Qinglong’s suspicion, he couldn’t ask the big fire Lion for his whereabouts. He could only meet him in the future.
After some farewells, the group finally set off. There was still no news from Skybolt pig, so Lin Yi could only leave him here for the time being and continue searching for the forbidden area. He’d come again when he had the chance. He had the little spirit beast to protect him anyway. As long as he didn’t run into a spirit beast Master of the broken sea realm, he wouldn’t be in any danger.
Once the mission was completed, the pig could use the little spirit beast to find Lin Yi. With the big frog’s spirit sense, they would be able to find Lin Yi in the entire southern island.
“Lin Yi, that guy with the black bamboo hat really doesn’t look good. Should we find a quiet place and take him down for a confession?” Xiao Yan had learned how to communicate with Lin Yi by now, and he carefully discussed the plan with Lin Yi.
From Xiao Yan’s point of view, the people sent by the spiritual beast clan were more like surveillance than protection. However, in terms of strength, they were slightly inferior to his personal guards.
As such, as long as he had a proper plan, there was a high chance that he would be able to kill the spirit beast clan’s expert and then take down the man in the black bamboo hat.
“This person’s strength is unfathomable. We don’t have the confidence to win. Let’s wait and see!” Lin Yi shook his head and replied to Xiao Yan.
Lin Yi was happy to see the sea beasts fight to the death with central, but now wasn’t the time to deal with the man with the black bamboo hat.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say!” Xiao Yi didn’t insist and agreed to Lin Yi’s suggestion.
At this point, they had already been gone for more than half a day. The spiritual beast Kingdom had long disappeared into the distance. Xiao Yan’s men were all on high alert, afraid that the expected ambush would happen. Moreover, at least half of their attention was placed on the spiritual beast guards beside them, to prevent them from stabbing them in the back.
The man didn’t walk with Lin Yi and the others. He was at the front of the group, and Lin Yi and the others were at the back of the group. When the man stopped, the whole group stopped as well.
“What’s happening up ahead?” A guard from the sea beast clan asked. Lin Yi’s spirit sense had already scanned over and found a group of masked Men in Black not far away, quietly watching this group.
“These are the people who ambushed us? Something doesn’t feel right!” Lin Yi frowned. There were about fifty people in total, a few more than their team. Judging from their auras, they were all earth formation stage and above.
However, it didn’t seem very reliable to just block their way and kill them openly, especially when they were facing a target who was stronger than them. It was even stranger.
“Protect the elders!” The commander of the spirit beast clan shouted in a low voice and rushed to the front of the team in an instant. He roared,””Who has the guts to stop our clan’s distinguished guest in the spirit beast forest? Don’t you want to live?”
The masked Men in Black didn’t pay any attention to him. While the spirit beast commander was talking, they quickly changed their formation and formed an attack-type battle formation.
“Kill him!” The spirit beast commander’s expression changed slightly. He waved his arm forward and rushed out with the 19 earth opening stage experts.
“Eh? Did they really attack to protect us? could it be that we have wrongly accused them?” Xiao Yan was a little stunned and did not know if he should let his guards follow them out.
However, considering that he could weaken the strength of the guards of the spiritual beasts and prevent their future actions from being hindered, Xiao Yan dispelled this idea and continued to sit on the mountain and watch the Tigers fight.
“Brother Xiao, pay attention to your defense. Just because you rushed out to fight doesn’t mean that you’re protecting us. It might just be an act!” Lin Yi warned as he extended his spirit sense to the left, right, and back to see if there were any other ambushes.
Fifty earth formation stage cultivators were strong, but they weren’t enough to compare to the strength of their team. Lin Yi didn’t believe that they would only send so few people.
“I understand. Let’s see if it’s true or not.” Xiao Yan laughed coldly and looked at the battle in front of him.
However, in the next second, Xiao Xiao was completely stunned. Not to mention the fifty masked Men in Black, even the twenty expert guards from the spirit beast clan had disappeared. There were no traces of fighting at the scene, nor were there any fluctuations of spatial teleportation. However, the large group of people had disappeared just like that, as if they had never existed.
“What’s going on? Where are those people?” The members of the sea beast clan instantly became nervous. If the two groups of people had fought each other until their flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground, they wouldn’t have had any emotional fluctuations. However, this strange situation was really hard for them to let go.
Fear came from the unknown. No one knew if the power that had caused so many experts to disappear would suddenly fall on them, but they could do nothing but passively defend.
“Brother Lin, what’s going on? Do you have any clues?” Xiao Yan was so depressed that he couldn’t even be bothered with telepathy anymore and asked Lin Yi directly.
“I don’t know …” Lin Yi’s spirit sense was scanning like crazy, but he didn’t find anything unusual. The seventy or so Masters really did disappear!
It would be easy to explain if the illusionary mist space crack had appeared, but there were no spatial fluctuations here. It was definitely not the doing of the big Frog.
Zheng Dongsheng almost peed his pants in fear. He couldn’t care less about Xiao Yan’s displeasure now as he desperately squeezed into the sea beast clan’s defensive circle. Because this guy seemed to be related to Lin Yi, the sea beast clan’s guards didn’t stop him from entering.
The only one who could still be considered calm was the man with the black bamboo hat. He stood in front of them with his hands behind his back, as if he had not seen the disappearance of the twenty spirit beast experts. The black veil on his bamboo hat did not even move.
