Lin Yi knew very well that he must not be greedy or curious in a place like the south island because any one of them would lead to disaster and death.
"It's indeed abnormal. It seems like something big has happened. Let's go and take a look," the ghost said after a moment of hesitation.
"Okay!" Lin Yi did not object. Although his rationality told him that it might be dangerous to go on like this, since the ghost insisted on taking a look, of course, he would accompany it to the end. After all, they were on the same side.
Moreover, Lin Yi could see that even though the ghost could not protect itself, it was still very concerned about the spirit beasts. It said that it did not want to go back to the spirit beasts, but it would unconsciously remember the slightest sign of trouble. To a certain extent, this senior spirit beast was actually quite arrogant.
Lin Yi continued on his way to the core area, but he was much more careful with every step he took. This place was supposed to be a place where powerful spirit beasts gathered, but it had become so strange. He didn't even need to think to know that something was amiss. One wrong move and he'd be doomed.
Along the way, another day passed. Lin Yi was more and more surprised. Could something big have happened to the spirit beasts?
Just when Lin Yi could not hold back his curiosity, the ghost's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Wait, don't go any further."
Lin Yi quickly stopped and found a hidden corner to hide himself. He looked around and found nothing special, so he could not help but ask in surprise, "Senior, what did you find?"
"There are many spirit beasts gathered in front, and their auras are not weak. If you continue to go there, you'll definitely be discovered," the ghost said in a deep voice.
"Many spirit beasts gathered in front?" Lin Yi was shocked. He did not sense them at all, so there should be a long distance to the gathering place of the spirit beasts. Moreover, the ghost said that these spirit beasts were not weak. They must be extremely powerful existences.
"Many spirit beasts have very unique auras. Even if they consciously hide their auras, they can't completely hide it. You human cultivators can't sense it, but you can't hide it from my senses," the ghostly thing explained.
"Then … what do we do now?" Lin Yi asked. Since there were peerlessly powerful spiritual beasts in front of him, a human cultivator like him would be courting death if he went over rashly. However, if he retreated now, it would go against his original intention. After all, he only knew that there were many spiritual beasts gathered together, but he did not know what was going on.
"En. For the sake of safety, we can't go any further. " The ghost being pondered for a brief moment. It really wanted to know what had happened to the Spirit Beasts, but it had to ensure Lin Yi's safety first. It could not let Lin Yi take such a huge risk.
Therefore, the ghost creature would rather retreat in this situation. In any case, if something were to happen to the Spirit Beasts, it would not be able to do anything in its current state. All it could do was watch from the sidelines.
"Alright." Since the ghost had said so, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't force it. Even if he wanted to help, he had to first have the strength to do so. At least with his current strength at the peak of the Middle-stage of Gold Core, it was far from enough to intervene in the affairs of the Spirit Beasts.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi immediately carefully restrained his breath and prepared to withdraw. However, at this moment. The ghost creature suddenly shouted softly, "Don't move!"
At the same time, a powerful Divine Sense, like a monstrous blazing wave, suddenly crossed the top of Lin Yi's head. Lin Yi thought that his strength was not weak, but compared with the owner of this Divine Sense, he was at most a grain of sand. While the ghost creature was at least a vast and boundless sea of sand. There was no comparison between them.
At this moment, Lin Yi's heart was even more horrified than when he faced the Xishan Elder Sect, the evil cultivator of the Mountain Opening Period. It was much more shocking and horrifying. The feeling of having goosebumps all over his body in an instant once again made Lin Yi deeply understand what it meant to be unreachable and daunting.
"This is …" Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He carefully used Divine Sense to communicate with the ghost creature in his mind.
The ghost creature was silent for a moment, then it slowly said two words in a very complicated tone, "Zhu Que."
Lin Yi suddenly became silent. No wonder it was so horrifying. No wonder a random Divine Sense was more shocking than the Xishan Elder Sect. It turned out to be the top elder of the Spirit Beast Clan!
No wonder a single Divine Sense was so hot and terrifying. Even Lin Yi, who had always been accustomed to using Frenzied Fire, couldn't bear it. It turned out to be Zhu Que, the ancestor of playing with fire.
Apart from the former king of the spirit beasts, a top-notch elder like the Vermillion Bird was the pinnacle of the spirit beast clan. The spirit beast clan had always strictly adhered to the law of the jungle. For a top-notch elder to be able to intimidate so many powerful spirit beasts, one could imagine how terrifying his power was.
However, Lin Yi immediately thought that the ghost creature living in the space of the jade pendant at the moment was once an existence at the same level as Zhu Que. Naturally, their strength should not be too different.
Although he had long known that the ghost creature was the top elder of the Spirit Beast Clan, Lin Yi had no idea how strong the ghost creature was in its heyday. In private, he had made various speculations about the levels of human cultivators. He had guessed the Nascent Soul stage, the Profound Ascension stage, and the Mountain Opening stage. In the secular world, he had ridiculously thought that it was Heaven Stage Great Perfection … But now, he finally experienced it.
At the same time, Lin Yi unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, when he first encountered the ghost creature in the secular world, this guy was already in a broken spirit. Otherwise, if it still had one ten-thousandth of its strength, he wouldn't even know how he died …
After being silent for a long time with lingering fear, Lin Yi finally managed to recover and asked, "Senior, then are we still going?"
As the top elder of the Spirit Beast Clan, the ghost creature obviously had a friendship with Zhu Que. However, whether this friendship was good or bad, enemy or friend, only the ghost creature itself knew.
"Are we going or not?" Hearing this, the ghost creature half laughed at itself and half explained, "Let me tell you this, if it was in its heyday in the past, Zhu Que would have to call me Big Brother. But if we are discovered in this state, it will definitely find a way to make my soul fly away. Of course, you will also be burned to ashes."
