Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi looked at him calmly for a moment before grinning insincerely. "I've said it before, your senior granduncle. "

"Hmph, it seems like I won't be able to hear the truth." Chen Jiu's expression changed, and his entire person's aura suddenly became extremely fierce. For the first time, he unreservedly released the aura that belonged to a nascent soul old monster!

Xin Yijie jumped in shock. He was an early golden core stage cultivator, and it was difficult for him to even stand there. If it wasn't for Lin Yi standing next to him, he might've already knelt down. After all, the strength and terror of a nascent soul old monster were deeply rooted in this small ancient martial world.

"What's wrong? Supreme elder, are you going back on your words?" Lin Yi's expression was the same as before, unmoved by the man's aura. The aura of a nascent soul old monster was nothing in his eyes, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

"I can't say that I'm going back on my word. It's just that as an old man of the green cloud School in the North Island, I have to check this kind of thing carefully. If I let some unknown people in, I will be criticized in the back." Although Chen Jiu's tone was calm, his aura was getting more and more intense. It was very obvious that he wasn't going to let this matter go easily.

To be more precise, he never had this plan from the start. Whether Lin Yi's ancient great uncle-master was real or fake, he was determined to never let Lin Yi enter the Qingyun sect as he wished. After all, there couldn't be two tigers on the same mountain.

The reason why they hadn't fallen out after so long, other than Chen Dongcheng's concern, was because of Lin Yi's strange methods. He didn't want to take any risks before he figured it out.

Thus, Chen Jiu had not been idle during this period of time. He had been searching for all sorts of information regarding the extraction of primordial spirit, but unfortunately, he had found nothing in the end.

This was not strange. Even if the small Jianghu in the primitive times had always paid attention to the cultivation of primordial spirit and had various primordial spirit methods, they had never heard of such brutal methods as the soul-hooking hand and primordial spirit devouring. After all, the strongest was only a nascent soul old monster. Their levels were at most at this level. So what if they researched more?

Without any information, it meant that he had no confidence, which was why Chen Jiu had been patient all this time. It was only today that his patience had been completely exhausted.

It was true that the unknown meant risk, but Chen Jiu didn't think that he'd really fall for a mere Lin Yi. At most, it'd be a little troublesome.

As a nascent soul realm old monster, he naturally had the arrogance of a nascent soul realm old monster.

"Hehe, no matter how you put it, it's still the same meaning. Burning the bridge after crossing the river. As the Grand Elder, you've changed your attitude quite quickly." Lin Yi didn't look angry at all-he didn't expect the guy to keep his word, and there was only one explanation if he'd be stupid enough to trust someone like that.

"Whatever you say, since you chose to fight with this old man, you should've realized this long ago, right?" Chen Jiu didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed. For a person at his level, his face had long been honed to perfection. What was this?

"Well, you're indeed a nascent soul old monster. You look like you're going to eat me up. Very scary." Lin Yi said with a half-smile.

"Hmph, you're on the verge of death, but you're still stubborn." Chen Jiu replied with a cold snort.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xin Yijie was completely frozen in place. The two big bosses had already shed all pretenses of cordiality and were ready to personally take action. What was a small fry like him supposed to do? should he stay to help or escape?

In terms of helping, Xin Yijie knew that he couldn't do anything with his strength. It would be a miracle if he stayed and didn't do anything, but if he just ran away like this, it'd be hard to explain to Lin Yi. He was a golden core elder, after all, and he still had to save face.

Chen Jiu glanced at the hesitating Xin Yijie and suddenly said,"I heard that you've also brought a few talented secular world disciples. If you don't want to get involved, let them hide for a while. Don't worry, as long as they don't cause trouble in the future, this old man won't hold them accountable. I'm still magnanimous enough to tolerate this."

This was the truth-Chen Jiu went back on his words to Lin Yi because Lin Yi had taken hold of his weak spot, and whether it was status or strength, Lin Yi was a threat to him. To a certain extent, Lin Yi was someone who was qualified to be his opponent, and he had to resort to any means.

But song Lingshan and the others were different. Although they were all Lin Yi's men, Chen Jiu was a nascent soul old monster. He would be too narrow-minded if he cared about these people.

It wasn't just the Chen family on the North Island, the entire Qingyun school was in a state of no successors. As long as they got rid of Lin Yi, song Lingshan and the others wouldn't be a threat at all without a leader. Instead, they had good potential, the price was just a bit more time to train them.

"No need." Lin Yi's answer was straight to the point. In fact, Lingshan and the others hadn't shown up yet. They were all in their rooms, practitioning, not paying attention to what was happening outside.

"Oh?" Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and the corner of his mouth immediately curled into a mocking smile. "You're so ruthless even to your own subordinates? this old master has truly underestimated you. You're quite a character. "

The ascending heaven cliff wasn't very big, and the area covered by the soaring to the heavens in one step formation was even smaller. Even if two ordinary golden core stage experts were to fight, they could easily sweep everything away. Now, if it was a nascent soul old monster like Chen Jiu, he could easily destroy this place with a wave of his hand. In other words, if these people, including Xin Yijie, stayed here, they would inevitably be implicated. With their strength, no one could leave this place alive.

In Chen Jiu's eyes, Lin Yi's actions were akin to a death sentence, and a word "cruel" was perfectly appropriate.

"Cruel and merciless?" Lin Yi laughed and looked at the nascent soul old man,"I say, did you misunderstand something, Grand Elder?"

"Oh?" Chen Jiu was stunned.

"I've never planned to fight you. Even if we fall out, I'll at most make you follow in Chen Dongcheng's footsteps. Why do I have to go through so much trouble?" Lin Yi said seriously.

"What?" Even Chen Jiu couldn't help but be stunned by his tone. It was true that he still couldn't understand the strange method that the other party used on Chen Dongcheng, but he was a nascent soul old monster. Did this kid think that the same method would be effective on a nascent soul old monster? He was too naive!

If he could casually take care of a nascent soul realm old monster, he would be an invincible existence in the entire small Jianghu of the immemorial era. Who did this kid think he was?
