For example, if the spirit beast clan forced the Hong Chamber of Commerce's branch to pay taxes, would the headquarters of the Hong Chamber of Commerce not react at all? Even if the Hong Chamber of Commerce was not so hot-tempered as to start a war directly, what about the other major forces whose interests would be affected?
There were ambitious people like the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon among the spirit beast clan. Similarly, there were many such people among the human cultivators, perhaps even more than the spirit beast clan. Please be prepared.
Perhaps they had been eyeing the spirit beast clan for a long time, but they had not been able to find a suitable excuse. Now that the spirit beast clan had taken the initiative to hand over their weakness, how could they let it go?
If the human cultivators really started a war with the spirit beast clan, it would inevitably be a waste of manpower and resources. The powerful ones could make a fortune from the war, while the weaker ones could at least flee far away. In the end, the truly unlucky ones would always be the ordinary people who had not advanced to the Heavenly Dao or built their foundation.
The world was difficult, and the strong preyed on the weak. This was the eternal and unchanging law of nature. If one did not have enough strength to protect oneself, no matter what happened, the final outcome would always be extremely miserable.
However, this had nothing to do with Lin Yi for the time being. Lin Yi had always been protective and would often see injustice, but he was never the kind of person who took responsibility for the world.
To Lin Yi, as long as it didn't affect the people around him, it didn't matter even if the spirit beasts and human practitioners started a war. He wouldn't be so righteous as to stop this war. It would be fine if he was strong enough, but he didn't have that strength right now. There was no point in saying anything.
"Let's go." The ghostly thing sighed and suddenly said after a moment of silence.
"Ah? Not going to watch anymore? "Lin Yi could not help but be slightly stunned.
It was normal for him to stay out of this because he was an unrelated outsider after all. Not only did he have nothing to do with the spirit beast clan, but even the human cultivators might not be his original camp. He came from the secular world, and the cultivators on the Heavenly Island had never acknowledged people like him.
However, the ghostly thing was different. This was the former Azure Dragon Elder of the spirit beast clan. Even if he could let go of the spirit beast clan, he definitely could not let go of it. Now, the spirit beast clan was about to be pushed into an abyss by the Vermilion Bird. How could he just turn around and leave so easily?
"I already know the Vermillion Bird's intentions. What's the point of staying here? Since it's useless anyway, why should I stay here and spoil my mood? "The ghostly thing laughed bitterly and said," Besides, their attention is on the stage now. This is the best time for you to escape unscathed. Otherwise, you'll be in danger when everyone leaves. "
"Could it be that I've been discovered?" Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened. This kind of thing was not a joke. In that case, the best course of action was to leave. He couldn't stay for a moment longer.
"Not necessarily, but have you forgotten where this place is? Even you human cultivators, who claim to be civilized, are constantly killing each other, let alone the spirit beasts … "The ghost laughed bitterly and continued," Don't be fooled by the fact that so many spirit beasts can live in harmony now. That's because there are beings like the Vermilion Bird above them. However, once they leave the public's sight, they will devour each other repeatedly. In their eyes, you're just a Golden Core Stage snack. Any spirit beast could devour you for a meal. "
"Uh. That's true. " Lin Yi shrunk his neck in fear. He was so worried that his identity as a human would be exposed that he almost forgot about this threat. Spirit beasts would never truly live in harmony with each other. Even if he was treated as a spirit beast, he would still be in danger.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the spirit beasts were unable to extricate themselves from the Azure Dragon's incitement and were all cheering at the high stage, Lin Yi immediately began to retreat stealthily. If he was occasionally seen by a spirit beast next to him, he would stop and pretend to shout along with them. Furthermore, he was originally standing at a very outer position, so the entire retreat process was rather smooth.
However, just as he was about to retreat into the dense forest and leave smoothly in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. A cold voice suddenly exploded from the high stage, "Who's so bold as to leave without permission when I, the Elder, am making an announcement?"
As soon as the voice finished speaking, all the spirit beasts present focused their attention on the Vermilion Bird. Then, they followed the Vermilion Bird's gaze and shifted to the top of Lin Yi's head.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Lin Yi could not help but feel his scalp go numb. His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. If this was a human public event, even if there were many experts, he would not feel so pressured. However, the problem was that this was the Spiritual Beast Convention!
Being stared at by so many powerful spirit beasts made him feel like a lamb that had mistakenly entered a wolf's den. At the very least, Lin Yi could still maintain his composure on the surface. If it was someone with an average mental fortitude, they would have been so frightened that they would have collapsed on the spot.
Not only Lin Yi, but even the ghost could not help but break into a cold sweat for him. At the same time, he could not help but feel a little regretful. His decision to quickly escape before the end of the convention was not wrong. However, he had never considered that the Vermilion Bird was actually using its divine sense to monitor the entire venue!
After all, even for a Primordial Soul Grandmaster like the ghost, using its divine sense to monitor the entire venue was definitely not a small burden. He never thought that the Vermilion Bird would not hesitate to waste so much energy in order to completely control the Spiritual Beast Convention.
It was no wonder that Lin Yi had been detected by the Vermilion Bird's divine sense before he even arrived here. It turned out that this guy had been monitoring every corner of the venue.
The Vermilion Bird shot a cold gaze at Lin Yi. He was just about to take over the Azure Dragon's words and appoint a Governor of the Demon Leng City in front of everyone. However, he did not expect this brat to turn around and leave at this time. Wasn't it obvious that he was not taking a top-notch elder like him seriously?
Under the watchful eyes of so many powerful spirit beasts, Lin Yi could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He suppressed the nervousness in his heart and carefully turned around, saying, "In reply to Elder Vermilion Bird, this lowly one is only going to relieve himself. I did not leave the venue without permission. Please understand, Elder …"
In response to Lin Yi's quick-witted answer, the crowd of spirit beasts revealed a look of understanding. As the saying goes, humans have three urgent needs. Naturally, spirit beasts were no exception. Since he was going to relieve himself, he naturally had to find a secluded place. This was a logical answer.
Although spirit beasts were not as particular as humans, and it was not a problem for them to relieve themselves in public under normal circumstances, it was clearly inappropriate for them to do so in this situation. Moreover, most of the spirit beasts present had transformed into their human forms. It was somewhat shameful for them to do such a thing in public. (To be continued.)
