Beauty and the Bodyguard

The spirit beasts didn't mind Lin Yi's words, but the Vermillion Bird was a top-tier elder, and it wasn't so easy to fool her. Today's spirit beast meet was directly related to her grand ambition, and there couldn't be any mistakes. Even if there was a hidden danger, she had to nip it in the bud.

Moreover, it had already communicated with the higher-ups of all the big and small families in Anluo cultivation city before this and had strict requirements on the discipline of the venue. It also remembered very clearly that this golden core stage kid in front of it was already late just now. Now, he wanted to leave early. This was simply preposterous!

"Convenient?" The Vermilion bird's Phoenix eyes narrowed into slits as he snorted coldly.""Hmph, which family's spirit beast is this? Elders of the family, step forward!"

Just like human main cities, the spirit beasts 'forces in a cultivation city were also based on family units, such as the Great Fire Lion family, the great Spider family, and so on. Each spirit beast family naturally had a patriarch, elder, and other high-level officials.

For a top-notch elder like the Vermilion Bird, as long as it could control the upper echelons of the family, it would be able to control all the forces of the spirit beasts, and even the entire spirit beast clan.

Due to the difference in race, under normal circumstances, it was obvious which spirit beast belonged to which family. However, if they took on a human form, it would be difficult to tell their true form. This had nothing to do with their strength. Unless they were familiar with each other, even the Vermillion Bird would find it difficult to recognize them.

Not a single spirit beast responded to the Vermilion bird's words-Lin Yi was just a human practitioner, and it'd be a miracle if any spirit beast stood up.

The atmosphere was in an awkward stalemate-something was going to happen if this went on. Lin Yi quickly replied,"Elder Vermilion Bird, I don't live in Anluo cultivation city. I just happened to pass by this time, so I came to take a look. My hometown is actually Lufeng forest."

Lufeng forest was the only place that Lin Yi was familiar with, and because it was an abandoned area, it was considered a border area ignored by the spirit beast clan. A country bumpkin from a place like this wouldn't be noticed by a leader like the Vermillion Bird, and there were so many spirit beasts here, so Lin Yi didn't think there was anyone he "knew" from Lufeng forest.

"What? Lufeng forest?" As expected, the Vermilion Bird raised his brows and his tone became more and more unpredictable."How is this possible? You're just a mere golden core stage cultivator. How did you get here from so far away? What exactly do you do?"

At the same time, all the spirit beasts looked at Lin Yi with suspicion. The southern island was different from human society-as long as you didn't cause trouble, you could go anywhere you wanted, even if you were only a golden core. But here, it was different-the concept of territory was deeply rooted in every spirit beast's mind.

Under normal circumstances, if a weak spirit beast dared to cross the territory of a powerful spirit beast, there was usually only one end, and that was to be eaten. This kind of thing could be said to be natural in the spirit beast clan, and no one would interfere.

Therefore, in the eyes of any spirit beast, it was impossible for a mere golden core stage spirit beast to cross all the way from Lufeng forest to here.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the suspicious expressions on the spirit beasts "faces. He subconsciously assumed a human's mindset and forgot that although many spirit beasts could take human form, they were fundamentally different from humans.

"I think they're spies bribed by human cultivators. Left and right, take them down!" The nearby Azure Dragon immediately orders.

"Yes!" The guards who were guarding the open space all shot up into the air, and when they felt the terrifying pressure coming from their bodies, even Lin Yi couldn't help but jump in shock.

The aura of these spirit beast guards was even more majestic and vast than the big shots at the beginning of the mountain. The powerful evil cultivator Big Shot, West Mountain old sect, could not even compare to these guards. This was simply unbelievable!

He was even more ferocious and terrifying than the mountain split stage. What kind of realm was this? Lin Yi's heart was in turmoil. The mountain split stage was the highest stage he'd ever seen, and he didn't expect to see it in the spirit beast clan's territory.

Any random guard that jumped out was already stronger than a mountain-opening cultivator, let alone the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon, who were high and mighty top-notch existences. Wasn't the spirit beast clan a little too ridiculously strong?

It was only now that Lin Yi realized that the spirit beasts had been able to stand up to human cultivators for a long time, and it wasn't without reason. No wonder the Vermillion Bird was so ambitious and greedy. No matter who had such a huge force under them, they would be as confident as the Vermillion Bird, or even more.

As mentioned before, the spirit beast clan's strength was far above any human sect. Lin Yi had a slight prejudice against the spirit beast clan in the past, and always felt that without the intimidating power of the former king of the spirit beasts, the spirit beast clan would fall apart and fall apart.

However, from the looks of it now, even if the overall strength of the spirit beast clan was not as strong and invincible as it used to be, it still could not be underestimated. If a full-scale war were to break out, the human cultivators would definitely pay a huge price. Even if they could laugh in the end, it would probably be a tragic victory.

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, but this wasn't the time for Lin Yi to be in a daze. With his strength, he couldn't even deal with the old sect master of West Mountain, let alone these terrifying spirit beasts that were above him.

Lin Yi knew that he was really done for this time. Once he was caught, his human identity would be exposed in front of all these powerful spirit beasts. He could imagine what would happen then-even death would be a dream.

When people were unlucky, even drinking water would get stuck in their teeth. Lin Yi felt that he was in this state right now, with a cloud of bad luck above his head that he couldn't get rid of. It wasn't easy for him to get rid of the old sect of West Mountain, and now he had to face these even fiercer existences ...

While Lin Yi was feeling helpless, the thing was hesitating. It was impossible for Lin Yi to escape this situation by himself. The only chance he had was to stand out in public.

As the former Azure Dragon elder, he believed that he still had some influence in the spirit beast clan, especially in a public place like the spirit beast meet. Even the Vermillion Bird wouldn't dare to do anything to him. If he stood up for Lin Yi, the pressure would naturally be transferred from Lin Yi to him. Of course, the premise was that he had the strength!

But now, what if the Vermilion Bird didn't buy it? (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
