The Vermillion Bird occupied three out of the five great cultivation cities. Furthermore, the Vermillion Bird controlled the Emperor and commanded the feudal vassals. This familiar situation reminded Lin Yi of Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. He was also extremely powerful. As for whether or not the other two elders could stop the Vermillion Bird, it would depend on whether or not they had the qualifications to become Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
"Senior, don't be impatient. A little impatience will spoil a great plan. Our current strength is insufficient. Even if we jump out, we won't be able to stop the Vermillion Bird. However, one day, we will definitely get justice!" Lin Yi said in a determined tone.
He wasn't just trying to comfort the ghostly thing. He truly had this thought. With his relationship with the ghostly thing, he couldn't just stand by and watch. Lin Yi believed that one day, he would have enough strength to intervene in the affairs of the Spirit Beast Clan. When that time comes, he would make the Vermillion Bird spit out everything that the ghostly thing had taken from him!
"You little brat …" The ghostly thing couldn't help but laugh. Its originally gloomy mood was greatly relieved. It laughed and scolded, "Do you think I'm a brainless idiot? How could I not understand this logic? But to be honest, with my original personality, I really didn't know how to endure. However, now that I've been with you every day, I've learned it. You've taught me several lessons. "
"You're overpraising me, Senior." Lin Yi scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"There's no need to be humble. I'm really not flattering you." The ghostly thing laughed and sighed with deep emotion, "Patience is the most important thing. Once you have enough strength, you will strike with lightning speed. Originally, your strength was far greater than yours, but they were all trampled to death by you one after another. However, they were trampled to death by you one after another. I realized that only by becoming like you can one be truly ruthless! "
"Pfft …" Lin Yi almost spat out his saliva. Fortunately, he forcefully held it back and the other Spirit Beasts around him didn't notice anything strange. With a strange expression, he said, "Cough cough … Senior, are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Of course I'm praising you. There aren't many people who can do this. Although cultivators are known to cultivate their body and mind, most of them don't have a high spiritual realm. There are many who are brave and ruthless, and there are many who are impulsive. Many people fight for a moment of pride. They would rather die than stand up for themselves, but you are different. If you can't beat them, you'll run. That's why you're still alive today. "The ghostly thing sighed.
"Alright, take it as a compliment." Lin Yi rubbed his nose and asked, "Senior, why did you say that? Are you not planning to reveal your identity? "
"Isn't that obvious … Look at this situation, the Vermilion Bird's words are the law from top to bottom. If I dare to show my face now, not only will my soul be destroyed, you'll also die with me." The ghostly thing curled its lips.
"That's true." Lin Yi nodded. That was exactly what he was thinking. He was just afraid that the ghostly thing would be unable to control its anger for a while. Since the ghostly thing was able to control itself, that was for the best.
"Alright. This time, I've gathered everyone here because I have an important matter regarding our spirit beast clan to discuss with all of you. I'll let Elder Azure Dragon explain it to everyone in detail. "The Vermilion Bird gave Azure Dragon a meaningful look. Subsequently, it returned to its seat and handed the right to speak to the newly appointed Azure Dragon Elder.
Azure Dragon cleared his throat, which had a strange metallic quality to it. He faced all the spirit beasts present and said, "Spirit beast brothers, according to the King's decree, the South Continent has always been the territory of our spirit beast clan. But now, human cultivators were everywhere in the South Continent's sea region. In fact, they've even taken over the dominant position. Why?! "
Of course, the South Continent that he was referring to did not only include the southern island, but also all of the South Continent's sea areas such as the Devil Leng, Zhen Duan, Wei Qian, and Distant Star. The southern island and the huge sea areas nearby were the complete South Continent.
"That's right, why?!" All the spirit beasts present were instantly stirred up.
Although the spirit beast clan and the human sects had reached a tacit agreement not to invade each other, and there had been no major turmoil all these years, in reality, the confrontation between the spirit beasts and human cultivators had always existed.
In various parts of the five Heavenly Islands, they had always been killing each other. Human cultivators coveted the various materials on the spirit beasts, while the spirit beasts, in turn, treated the humans as the best delicacies. It could be said that a large number of human cultivators and various spirit beasts died in each other's hands every day.
However, these casualties were considered normal natural competitions and were far from the level of war, so everyone turned a blind eye to it.
Therefore, the South Continent, which was the base camp of the spirit beast clan, still had a large number of human cultivators living in the surrounding sea areas, and they had always lived in harmony with each other. However, now that Azure Dragon had said this, this balance would probably be thrown into disarray.
"Not only that, these shameless human cultivators not only openly occupied the South Continent's sea area that belongs to the spirit beast clan, they even had the guts to sneak into our South Island's territory for this so-called adventure, steal our treasures, and kill our fellow spirit beasts. Everyone, do you think we can tolerate this?" Azure Dragon deliberately stirred up the crowd's emotions.
"We can't tolerate it! We can't tolerate it! We can't tolerate it! " The spirit beasts present were even more enraged.
"That's right, the South Continent is the territory of the spirit beast clan. Only the spirit beast clan is the sole overlord of the South Continent. We can't tolerate this!" Azure Dragon nodded in satisfaction. He made a hand gesture to calm the crowd of spirit beasts down, then continued, "I also heard that the spirit beasts scattered in the other Heavenly Islands are often killed wantonly by human cultivators because they are alone and because those places are the humans' territory. Some of them are even taken as spirit pets for the humans to order around. Everyone, don't you think this is a great humiliation for the spirit beast clan?"
"Humiliation! Humiliation! Humiliation! " All the spirit beasts present had their necks flushed red and their eyes were bloodshot. It was as if they were going to eat someone at any time.
Lin Yi, who was among them, could not help but feel his scalp go numb when he saw the scene of tens of thousands of beasts roaring. He was shocked speechless. If they continued to incite the crowd, a war between the spirit beast clan and human cultivators would be inevitable. What were the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon trying to do? Were they really going to start a war?
"What are these two b * stards thinking?" The ghost creature was also frowning. If the spirit beast clan's power could be gathered together, they would be much more powerful than any human sect. However, there were not just a few human sects, there were hundreds and thousands of human sects. If a full-scale war were to start, the spirit beast clan was destined to end up in one end — death without a burial place. (To be continued)
