Beauty and the Bodyguard

Moreover, even if that was the case, after thousands of years of wind and frost, these three stone roads should have disappeared long ago. How could they still remain intact? It couldn't be said that these stone roads had been reinforced by some special formation, right?

It wasn't impossible, but it wasn't very likely. Lin Yi was more inclined to believe in the other less likely possibility-there were other people in this training ground!

Perhaps there were indigenous people here that few people knew about, or perhaps there were trial-takers who had been teleported here from other places?

This wasn't something a normal person would think about, but Lin Yi, who came back from Sky Class Island, thought it was natural. After all, no one said that this teleportation formation only connected to the transfer islands. Who knew if it connected to Sky Class Island or something?

However, no matter which possibility it was, since he was already here, he could only take it one step at a time.

"By the way, where are Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng?" Someone asked. The others shook their heads one after another. These two people relied on their golden core strength to ignore the threat of the flaming bats. They had rushed out long ago, and now they couldn't even be found.

"Do you even need to ask? he definitely couldn't wait to go to the river of consciousness. Could it be that he's still waiting for us here?" The people around him pouted.

"Not necessarily. This training ground only appears once in 1000 years. The consciousness River might not be the only good place. As we've come here, if we only want to enter the consciousness River, we would be stupid. We would miss so many good opportunities!" Someone laughed.

"If that's the case, then why are we still wasting time here? let's go!" Everyone was getting ready to leave, but they stopped when they saw the three roads in front of them. They looked at each other for a while, and then all their eyes fell on Lin Yi.

"What's wrong? You want my Lin Yi bro to open the way for you? you're too despicable!" Ziyu couldn't help but say.

"This ..." Everyone was stunned when they saw that their thoughts were read. That was exactly what they were thinking. Other than Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng, who were both golden core cultivators, Lin Yi was the strongest. Just like before, they had to follow Lin Yi closely in order to be safe in the ancient trial grounds, which was full of danger.

"Hehe, you're wrong. I just want to see which one brother Lin will choose so that we won't have to pick the same one." Someone walked out from the crowd with a faint smile. It was the young sect master of the thousand blades sect, Ling Tianyou.

"I'm the same," Duanmu Yu also lightly smiled.

Only then did everyone understand. No wonder the two of them had been silent all this while. They were actually planning this!

It was true that they would be much safer if they followed Lin Yi, but at the same time, if they came across anything good, Lin Yi's group would take it all. They wouldn't even get a sip of the soup, let alone the meat.

"I see, then the two of you will part ways here." Lin Yi nodded to the two. These two were the most important people in the ancient Alliance. This was good. Each of them chose their own path, so there would be less conflict. It wasn't a bad thing.

After greeting them, Lin Yi immediately led Lingshan and the others towards the left stone path. None of the three paths were marked on the map, and no one knew where they led to. He just randomly picked one.

Ling Tianyou smiled when he saw this. He immediately chose another path and took the lead. Duanmu Yu chose the third path, leaving the rest of the people to continue looking at each other hesitantly.

Apart from Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng, who were nowhere to be found, each of the three paths had a leader. Of course, Lin Yi's group was the strongest among them. Not only did they have Lin Yi, but they also had Leng Leng, a peak-level Foundation Stage master. Other than that, although song Lingshan's group was only in the early Foundation Stage, and there were two or three peak-level Foundation Stage cultivators, they were all not simple characters. More importantly, the group was extremely United, and no one else could possibly compete with them.

Apart from them, Ling Tianyou and Duanmu Yu were on par with each other. The former was only at the peak of the late Foundation Stage, but he was a peerless genius who could fly with a thousand blades. In the Foundation Stage, other than freaks like Lin Yi, he was practically invincible. The latter was less famous, but his strength was not to be underestimated either. It was just that these two were obviously a lot weaker than Lin Yi's group.

Very quickly, everyone had made their decision. Most of them chose Ling Tianyou and Duanmu Yu, with only three people choosing Lin Yi. Compared to the possibility of a chance, these people were obviously more concerned about their own safety. They didn't have any expectations for the other chances in this test, except for the river of consciousness.

Even if Lin Yi's group had a lot of people, they could take all the treasures ahead, but they couldn't take the entire river of consciousness, right?

There weren't many of them to begin with, and this split made them seem even more lonely. However, this didn't affect Lin Yi's group at all-as long as they supported each other, it was enough. They wouldn't be happy if all the other disciples of the ancient Alliance came.

At that time, not only would he have to guard against all kinds of dangers and mishaps in the trial ground, but he would also have to guard against this group of ungrateful wolves behind him. Just thinking about it would give him a headache. It was better to be quiet and worry-free like now.

The group walked peacefully for an hour, and gradually, even song Lingshan and the others started to feel that something was wrong.

"Lin Yi bro, why do I feel like something's staring at this place?" Ziyu curled up as she looked around suspiciously. It was still the same old forest, but it didn't feel like it. She couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Yeah, I also feel that this place is strange." Lingshan said, nodding.

"Yes, it's strange." Leng Leng said the same thing. Her spirit sense wasn't as strong as Lin Yi 's, but it was much stronger than the others. This feeling was even more obvious.

Lin Yi looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "That's right. We are indeed being watched by something, but we don't know what it is. Everyone, be careful. We should know soon."

"Understood!" Everyone nodded in unison.

The three disciples of the archaic Alliance who were far behind them were shocked by the way they acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They were all suspicious, but they didn't realize that there was any real danger. However, the more they thought about it, the more afraid they were. They would be scared to death if they scared themselves. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
