Beauty and the Bodyguard

In the previous altar fight, most of the human slaves who appeared to have died under Lin Yi were actually thrown into the void passage by him.

Xiang Yusheng was there to support them, and the safety of this group of people was fully guaranteed.

Having experienced Lin Yi's power personally, and experiencing a wave of resurrection from the dead in the blink of an eye, it is reasonable for these people to be grateful to Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi was their real savior.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's secret operation, not to mention that they would have no chance of walking out of the Altar Arena alive, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would have to bear the wrath of the challenger family, and they would still be dead. .

Only Lin Yi can give them a chance to live.

Lin Yi didn't care much about this.

He himself was not a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person who was willing to help others. It was just that the special environment of the Hundred Saints City made it impossible for him to stand by and watch these slaves of the same human race, so he took action.

As for whether these people were grateful to him, he didn't care and it wasn't important.

What Lin Yi is more curious about right now is Xiang Yusheng's motive for appearing here.

"From the look of senior, it seems like this is not the first time here?"

Xiang Yusheng was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a wry smile: "This is indeed not the first time, this... is actually my birthplace."

As soon as these words came out, it was shocking.

Even Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked and lost his mind: "Senior is a local? How is this possible?"

For a moment, he even thought that the other party was the Baisheng City itself.

After all, there are only Skeleton Saints in this place, why would a local suddenly appear?

According to what he learned from the strategist White Skeleton, although the Skeleton Saint Clan is very disdainful towards human slaves, they are always wary and do not allow close contact between human slaves at all, let alone the birth of children after union.

Xiang Yusheng glanced at him and said with some regret: "For most of the time, the status of human beings here was very humble, but in a special period, humans briefly occupied a dominant position."

"In that special era, the original human slaves were the masters and trampled all the skeleton saints under their feet."

"And I was born during that period."

Lin Yi suddenly realized.

That period was a stain on the history of the Skeleton Saint Clan, and what has been handed down is almost a blank. Even the top executives of the Thirty-Six Companies like White Skeleton know very little about it.

Xiang Yusheng continued: "During that brief period, this place was a paradise without any competition from the world. However, the good times did not last long. Suddenly one day, the skeleton tribe and various corpse beasts came back, and our small number of people was simply unable to fight against it."

"The most important thing is that the strongest of us humans, the Lord of Hundred Saints at that time, has disappeared."

"Under the chaos, most of the human cultivators became slaves again. Only a small number took advantage of the chaos to escape from the burial ground. I was one of them."

Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Xiang Yusheng deeply: "I didn't expect that senior would have such a bizarre life experience."

As for humanity's failure, he was not surprised at all.

If Baisheng City was just a city, this place might really become a paradise, but unfortunately it wasn't.

For Baisheng City, human cultivators are like foreign germs. Being dominated by humans is equivalent to a serious illness.

But as long as it is alive and as long as it has enough self-recovery ability, it will be a matter of time before humanity is suppressed.

It is a real anomaly that humans can dominate for a long time.

"Since senior is a local, have you discovered anything strange about Baisheng City?"

Lin Yi asked tentatively.

"What's weird?"

Xiang Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Yi with a more probing look: "What aspect are you referring to?"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "For example, what are the saint ancestors mentioned by the skeletons?"

Xiang Yusheng said thoughtfully: "We really don't know much about this. The city lord also led people to carefully study the origin of the Hundred Saints City. It is certain that the burial ground was indeed a very important battlefield in ancient times. , and indeed many saints died here.”

"But no matter how we try, we have never really awakened the remaining thoughts of those saints."

"On the contrary, those skeletons often get responses from the saint's thoughts."

"In other words, compared to us human cultivators, the saint's thoughts favor those skeletons more."

"We are also puzzled by this."

Hearing this, Lin Yi understood.

The Skeleton Saints are the serious cells of the Hundred Saints City, and the Hundred Saints City responds to them in the form of saints' thoughts in order to maintain control over its own cells.

As for human cultivators, as foreign germs, their only thought is to destroy you, so how can they respond specifically to you?

After all, even if human cultivators briefly ruled the Hundred Saints City, just as a normal person would not go to great lengths to talk to the germs in his body, the Hundred Saints City would not take a serious look at the humans here.

Lin Yi turned to ask: "Then why does senior come here?"

Xiang Yusheng said bluntly: "In order to recover the bones of the city lord."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your city lord died here?"

Xiang Yusheng shook his head: "We can be sure that the city lord was indeed dead back then, but the specific place where he died is unknown. Over the years outside, I have been reviewing the situation back then, and finally deduced the only possibility. It’s at the bottom of the bone pool!”

Lin Yi was a little confused: "Is it important to find the bones of the city lord?"

If the other party had some kind of close blood relationship with the city lord, it would be understandable to find ways to recover the bones and let his ancestors rest in peace.

But judging from Xiang Yusheng's tone, although he admired the city lord quite a bit, he didn't go that far.

It can be seen that this skeleton must not be simple.

Xiang Yusheng nodded: "You should have seen the tenth-level sacred bones, but have you heard of the eleventh-level sacred bones that break the rules?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked: "Does that city lord have an eleventh-level sacred bone on his body?"

"I have no idea."

Xiang Yusheng answered ambiguously: "I was still young at the time, and I was far behind in terms of strength and level. I couldn't touch the core secrets of that level, but such folklore does circulate."

"It is said that the reason why the city lord was able to suppress all the skeletons and corpse beasts in one fell swoop was because he had an eleventh-level holy bone in his body and could naturally restrain them."

"If this legend is true, then this eleventh-level sacred bone is crucial to us."

Lin Yi looked at him in surprise: "Senior, does he want to imitate that city lord and lead human cultivators to regain control of the Hundred Saints City?"
