Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi knew that there must be no greed or curiosity in a place like South Island, because any of them would be a recipe for death.

"There is indeed something unusual. It seems like something big happened. Let's go over and have a look." The ghost hesitated and said.

"Okay!" Lin Yi didn't object. Although his reason told him that it might be dangerous to go on like this, but since the ghost insisted on taking a look, of course he had to accompany him to the end. After all, he was one of his own without distinction.

What's more, Lin Yi can see that even in this difficult situation, the ghost is still very concerned about the affairs of the spirit beast clan. He says he doesn't want to go back to the spirit beast clan. However, if there is the slightest trouble, he will be conscious or unconscious. He kept it in mind. To a certain extent, this spiritual beast senior was actually quite arrogant.

Lin Yi immediately continued to head towards the core hinterland, but every step he took was much more cautious than before. This place was supposed to be a place where powerful spiritual beasts gathered, but now it has become so weird. He could tell with his toes that there must be something fishy. A little carelessness may lead to disaster.

After being cautious all the way, a whole day passed like this, and Lin Yi became more and more surprised. Could it be that something big happened to the spirit beast clan?

Just when Lin Yi couldn't hold back his curiosity, a ghostly voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Wait a minute, don't go any further."

Lin Yi quickly stopped and found a hidden corner to hide himself. He looked around at the surrounding environment and found that there was nothing particularly strange. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Senior, what did you find?"

"There are many spiritual beasts gathering in front of them, and their auras are not weak. If you continue to pass by, you will definitely be discovered." The ghost said in a deep voice.

"A lot of spirit beasts gathered together?" Lin Yi was suddenly surprised. He didn't notice it at all. It can be seen that there should be a short distance from this gathering place of spirit beasts, and these spirit beasts can be said to be not weak by ghosts. That must already be a very powerful existence.

"The natural aura of many spiritual beasts is very unique. Even if they consciously hide their aura, it is impossible to completely block it. You human practitioners cannot feel it, but it cannot be hidden from my perception." Guidongxi explained.

"Then... what should we do now?" Lin Yi asked. Since there are some powerful spiritual beasts in front of him, he, a human cultivator, is obviously seeking death if he goes there rashly. But if he retreats at this time, it goes against his original intention. After all, I only knew that many spiritual beasts gathered together, but I didn’t know what happened.

"Well, we can't go any further for safety reasons." Guidong pondered for a moment and said. He really wanted to know what happened to the spirit beast clan, but the premise was to ensure Lin Yi's safety. He couldn't let Lin Yi take too big a risk. risks of.

So in this case, the ghost would rather retreat. Anyway, if something happens to the spirit beast clan, he can't do anything in his current state, he can only be a cold spectator.

"Okay." Since the ghost said so, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't force it. Even if he wanted to help, he had to have the strength first. At least with his current strength at the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, he still couldn't force it. It is far from the level to interfere in the affairs of the spirit beast clan.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi carefully restrained his breath and prepared to retreat. However, at this moment, the ghost suddenly shouted softly: "Don't move!"

At the same time, a powerful spiritual consciousness like a blazing wave suddenly passed over Lin Yi's head. Lin Yi thought that his strength was no longer weak, but compared with the owner of this spiritual consciousness, he was at most a grain of sand. But others are at least an endless vast sea of ​​sand, with no comparison at all between them.

The horror that arose in Lin Yi's heart at this moment was even more shocking than when he faced Xishan Laozong, the founder of the evil cultivator. The feeling that instantly aroused goosebumps all over his body, once again Let Lin Yi deeply understand what it means to be out of reach and intimidating.

"This is..." Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath of air, and carefully used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with ghosts in his mind.

The ghost was silent for a moment, and then slowly said two words in an extremely complicated tone: "Suzaku."

Lin Yi fell silent immediately. No wonder it was so terrifying and frightening. No wonder a piece of divine consciousness was much more shocking than the Xishan Old Sect. It turned out to be the top elder of the spiritual beast clan!

No wonder a single spiritual consciousness was so hot and terrifying that even Lin Yi, who was always accustomed to using wild fire, was a little overwhelmed. It turned out to be Suzaku, the ancestor who played with fire.

Except for the former king of spirit beasts, top elders like Suzaku are the pinnacle of the spirit beast clan, and the spirit beast clan has always strictly adhered to the natural law of the weak and the strong. The top elders can intimidate so many powerful spirit beasts. , one can imagine the terror of its strength.

However, Lin Yi then thought that the ghost living in the jade pendant space at the moment was once on the same level as Suzaku, and their strength should naturally be about the same.

Although he had known for a long time that Gui Dong was the top elder of the spirit beast clan, Lin Yi had never known how powerful Gui Dong was during his heyday, and secretly made various speculations about the level of human cultivators. , I have guessed it in the Nascent Soul Stage, the Xuansheng Stage, and the Kaishan Stage. When I was in the secular world, I used to ridiculously think that it was the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Level...but now I finally have some understanding of it.

At the same time, Lin Yi unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, when he first encountered a ghost in the secular world, this guy was already a broken soul, otherwise it would still have one ten thousandth of it left. With such strength, I don’t even know how I died…

After a long silence with lingering fear, Lin Yi finally came to his senses and asked, "Senior, can we leave?"

As the top elders of the spiritual beast clan, Gui Dong and Suzaku obviously have a friendship, but only Gui Dong himself knows whether this friendship is good or bad, whether it is an enemy or a friend.

"Are you leaving?" Hearing this, the ghost half laughed at himself and half explained: "Let me tell you this, if it was in the past when I was at its peak, Suzaku would have called me big brother, but if I was discovered in this state now, , he will definitely try his best to make me lose my soul, and of course your kid will also be burned to ashes."

"Uh... Then it's best to leave quickly..." Lin Yi shrank his head and immediately continued to retreat. When faced with the pursuit of the Xishan Old Sect, he could scare him away by pretending to be a ghost, but Once it was Suzaku, there would be no chance of luck.
