Beauty and the Bodyguard

4527 The spirit beast meet

After all, this was the territory of the spirit beasts, the territory of the Vermilion Bird. It didn't even need to kill a human cultivator like Lin Yi. If the ghost showed up, it would die even faster.

"No! It's too late to retreat now. The Vermilion Bird has already discovered you. " The ghastly thing stopped him in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Lin Yi jumped-with his current strength, he'd be dead for sure if the Vermilion Bird targeted him.

"Since its divine sense just swept by, it's impossible for the Vermilion Bird to not know that you're here." Lin Yi's heart sank at the monster's words, but he let out a breath of relief when he heard what it said."But you don't have to be too alarmed. Just now, when its divine sense swept over, I deliberately disguised a trace of spirit beast aura on your head, so you have to hide your aura as much as possible. This way, in the eyes of others, you will be a spirit beast in human form. If there are no accidents, you should be able to get through."

"Oh, that's good ..." Lin Yi nodded, still a little scared. He couldn't guarantee anything else, but if it was just hiding his aura, no one would be the best in the world if he called himself the second best in the world.

"However, don't be too happy yet. Even if the Vermillion Bird didn't notice anything strange, it's impossible for it to retreat now." The ghastly thing sighed.

"Why?" Lin Yi's heart tightened again.

"There are so many spirit beasts gathered in front. It is obvious that all the spirit beasts in this area have been summoned. According to my speculation, the Vermilion Bird is holding a spirit beast meet. In principle, all the spirit beasts in the core hinterland must be present. It would be fine if you were not discovered just now, but if you retreat now, it would be too suspicious." The ghastly thing said with a bitter smile.

"Uh ... In that case, I can only bite the bullet and walk forward. Senior, are you sure there's no problem with this?" Lin Yi was helpless. He knew that the Vermillion Bird was holding a spirit beast meet, but he was only a peak mid-stage golden core cultivator. He was just tired of living.

Lin Yi had always been brave, but he wasn't stupid. He'd be crazy to jump into a mountain of knives and a pot of oil.

"There shouldn't be a problem." The damn thing couldn't be too sure-it was a risky thing to do, after all, but he still consoled Lin Yi,"With your ability to hide your aura and the spiritual beast aura I've disguised on you, as long as you don't deliberately distinguish it, even the Vermilion Bird won't be able to see anything wrong with you."

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi nodded with a bitter smile. He knew what this thing was trying to say-as long as no one was targeting him, everything would be fine. But if some spirit beast Master were to target him, especially if the Vermilion Bird noticed, then everything would be over.

But now that things had developed to this point, there was no other way. He could only bite the bullet and do as the ghost said.

"Kid, you don't have to worry too much. Except for some spiritual beasts with special talents or those who don't like human forms, many spiritual beasts with a little bit of intelligence can transform into human forms when they reach the heavenly Dao or above. So, even if you go now, you shouldn't attract too much attention." The ghastly thing continued to comfort him.

"Senior, don't worry. Although this matter is a little dangerous, I can still take it." Lin Yi let out a long breath. He wasn't the type to be afraid, and it was useless to be afraid when things came to a head. The more he panicked, the easier it was to expose himself. Only by facing it calmly would he have a chance to get away with it.

"Well, that's good. But for safety's sake, you'd better wear a thousand silk mask. That rough appearance of a warrior is more in line with the aesthetic of spirit beasts. Most spirit beasts have the same temperament after transforming into human form. Your current appearance is too delicate and will easily attract attention." The ghastly thing warned again.

"That's good. " Lin Yi nodded as he put on the mask. He was complaining about the weird taste of the spirit beasts-this was the first time he'd been called delicate after all this time.

Everything was ready, and Lin Yi kept his mind and aura under control. He walked forward, and the demonic thing released its beast aura. It wasn't the demonic thing's own aura, but something he purposely disguised-it was only as strong as a golden core spirit beast.

It was better to be careful. If the demonic thing released its aura directly, it would be very dangerous even if it deliberately suppressed its strength. Other spirit beasts might not be able to recognize it for a while, but the Vermilion Bird would definitely be able to detect it in an instant. That would be a real disaster.

After about an incense's time, Lin Yi finally sensed the presence of a large group of powerful spirit beasts. From their position, they weren't too far away, and he could hear all kinds of strange cries from far away. Sometimes it was "huhuha," sometimes it was "huhehe," and normal people wouldn't understand what it meant at all. It just sounded like it was very lively.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi braced himself and continued to walk forward. After a short while, the dense forest suddenly opened up.

As far as the eye could see, it was an extremely open field. There were no dense shrubs, no giant trees, no swamps, and no deep pools. There was only a lush green grassland.

As Lin Yi and the damn thing expected, there were indeed many spirit beasts gathered here. There were three layers inside and three layers outside, and many of them were in human form, but there were also many in their original forms. All of them were talking and laughing, and if Lin Yi were to see this in the secular world, he would've cried out in surprise-this was a horde of demons dancing around!

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Yi still couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw so many spirit beasts all at once, and each one of them had an extraordinary aura. The number of spirit beasts he'd seen in his life added up wouldn't even be one percent of the number here!

In the middle of the empty field, there was a group of spirit beasts in human form, singing and dancing. They seemed to be performing something. All the other spirit beasts were watching with great interest, cheering from time to time. However, to Lin Yi, this was like a primitive tribe. He couldn't see what was so beautiful about that strange dance ...

In comparison, there was a grand stage built near the center of the arena, and Lin Yi was more interested in the few people sitting on it. These spirit beasts had already transformed into human forms, and each of them had a vast aura. They were much more terrifying than the old sect master of West Mountain who had chased Lin Yi to the point of no return. It was obvious that these were the top masters of the spirit beast clan ...
