Beauty and the Bodyguard

Xin Yijie had been worried that he'd be punished for his incompetence, but he let out a breath of relief after seeing Lin Yi's attitude.

"Alright, you can go now. The most important thing now is to control the overall situation." Lin Yi said, waving his hand.

"Yes." Xin Yijie and Hong Zijun immediately left, feeling smug.

"Hehe, what a joke. Hong Zijun used to be the boss of these two, but now he's Xin Yijie's underling. He's actually able to accept it so calmly. There's no one else with such a personality." Chentian and the others laughed.

"Birds of a feather flock together. They're actually the same kind, with soft personalities. At first glance, they look like good people who want to protect themselves, but they're ambitious in their hearts, like rabbits that only jump up and bite when they're forced into a corner. Now that Lin Yi-Gege has shown his acceptance, of course Hong Zijun won't look for trouble!" Ziyu's face was full of insight.

"Your face is small, but your life is more important." Lingshan said, nodding.

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh."You guys sure know how to read people. Alright, stop loitering around and go back to your training."

"Alright, alright, alright." Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

They wouldn't be this diligent if it was their nature, but Chen Jiu and the others had given them a direct lesson. If they weren't strong enough, it would be hard for them to move a single step in the ancient martial world. They were all ambitious Masters, and they didn't want to live under Lin Yi's wings. After all, even if they couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's pace, they couldn't drag him down.

Middle Island, queluo mountain.

Because there were no sects stationed nearby, and there were ferocious spirit beasts appearing from time to time, there were few people within a radius of dozens of miles. Unless it was an activity like a sect trial, this place was basically a no-man's land.

A giant spiritual Vulture descended from the sky. This was the most iconic flying spiritual beast of the green cloud sect on the North Island. It was a rare bird even in the entire ancient Jianghu. Besides the sect leader, only the Supreme elders of higher status were qualified to ride it.

The people on the back of this gigantic spirit Vulture were none other than Chen Dongcheng, Lu Ping 'an, and the unconscious Grand Supreme elder Chen Jiu.

Since they had chosen to secretly escape from the green cloud sect on the North Island, it was no different from betraying the sect. In this case, they obviously could not stay on the North Island any longer. The other islands were too far away and they were not familiar with them. Chen Dongcheng and Lu Pingan discussed for a long time and finally decided to escape to the middle Island. The unmanaged queluo mountain was a ready-made place to stay.

Although queluo mountain was dangerous, one of them was at the peak of the late-stage of the Aurous core stage while the other was at the mid-stage of the Aurous core stage. As long as they were a little more careful, they would be able to protect themselves.

"Old Lu, we have to think about what to do next. After all, we can't just stay in this mountain ditch forever, can we?" Chen Dongcheng said with a frown. He was born in the Chen family of the North Island and had always been regarded as the successor. He had been used to a life of luxury since he was young. Now that he had been forced to escape to queluo mountain, he could still survive for a day or two, but he wouldn't be able to endure it for a long time.

"But now that the green cloud sect is in Lin Yi's hands, we might be charged with betraying the sect. If we go out and get targeted, it'll be a big problem." Lu Pingan was having a headache too. No one would want to stay in this barren land, but the problem was that betraying a sect was a first-class crime in the ancient martial world. Even if he walked out of the middle Island, he would be hated by everyone. If he was encountered by the middle Island sects that were on good terms with the green cloud sect on the North Island, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We still have to give it a try. We can't go on like this. If we really waste a few months, our cultivation resources will be a big problem." Chen Dongcheng shook his head.

If it was an ordinary Foundation Stage expert, it would be possible to get some cultivation resources. But both of them were experts above the middle stage of the Golden core stage. Almost all the cultivation resources for the Golden core stage in the entire small ancient Jianghu were in the hands of various sects and families. It was difficult to buy them in the market, let alone in this sparsely populated queluo mountain.

The path of cultivation was like a boat sailing against the current. After a long time, the strength of the two would definitely decline instead of advancing, and then they would be crying out loud.

"Why don't ..." Lu Pingan muttered to himself for a moment and suggested,""Let's just go to another sect. With our strength, I believe that any ancient sect would be happy to accept us. When the time comes, we'll spread the news of Lin Yi taking over the ancient Alliance, and it'll definitely attract the attention of the entire ancient Alliance. We'll be in an invincible position. "

"This idea sounds good." Chen Dongcheng nodded in agreement. He was a mid-stage golden core expert, and Lu Pingan was even a peak late-stage golden core expert. With such strength, he would be treated well in any ancient sect. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could gain the other party's trust. Fortunately, in order to help him rise to power, Chen Jiu had brought him to various ancient sects to show his face. Among them, there were a few who had good relationships, so it should not be a problem for him to join them.

"Then we're leaving now?" Lu Pingan looked at Chen Dongcheng. Although he was more powerful, he still lowered his stance in front of Chen Dongcheng. After all, Chen Jiu had not really died. If he could find a way to cure him, he would not have to suffer no matter where he went with this nascent soul old monster's protection.

"There's one more question. What should I do about this old ancestor? I can't just go to his door and rely on him behind his back, right?" Chen Dongcheng was still frowning. Chen Jiu was his and Lu Ping 'an's greatest hope for a comeback. Unless it was confirmed that Chen Jiu was completely dead, there was no way he would abandon him. How they should deal with him was a big problem.

"That's definitely not appropriate. Master's identity and strength are too sensitive. If we rashly close the door, not to mention that not many people would dare to take us in, even if they do, there will be all kinds of dirty things that will not be good." Lu Pingan shook his head. After all, if he was really saved, he would be a true nascent soul old monster. The North Island's Green cloud sect had already staged a show of a Turtledove occupying a magpie's nest. The other ancient sects would not repeat the same mistake.

"In that case, we can only split into two groups. One of us will go to Wushui first, and the other will stay and take care of the ancestor. When everything is ready, we will think of a way to secretly transfer the ancestor there. What do you think?" Chen Dongcheng said.

"That's a good idea, but who's going and who's staying?" Lu Pingan looked at Chen Dongcheng. This was another problem. Although the two of them were now grasshoppers tied on the same rope, they were not confidants with each other. They did not know what kind of schemes they had in their hearts. No matter who went and who stayed, there would always be various concerns.

The two of them fell into silence.
