However, even though the spirit beasts present did not care about Lin Yi's words, the Vermillion Bird, a top-notch elder, would not be fooled so easily. Today's Spirit Beast Convention was directly related to the Vermillion Bird's grand ambitions, so it could not afford to make any mistakes. Even if there was only the slightest hidden danger, it had to be nipped in the bud.
What's more, before this, it had already spoken to the higher-ups of all the big and small families in An Luo Cultivation City. It had strict requirements for the venue's discipline, and it clearly remembered that this Golden Core brat was already late. Now he wanted to leave early? This was simply outrageous!
"Convenient?" The Vermillion Bird narrowed its long and narrow eyes and snorted in an unfriendly tone, "Hmph, which clan does this spirit beast belong to? Clan elders, step forward! "
Similar to human cities, the spirit beast forces in a cultivation city were also based on clans, such as the Big Fire Lion Clan and the Big Spider Clan. Every spirit beast clan naturally had a clan leader, elders, and other higher-ups.
For a top-notch elder like the Vermillion Bird, as long as it controlled the higher-ups of the clan, it could control all the spirit beast forces, or even the entire spirit beast clan.
Because of the difference in their clans, under normal circumstances, it was obvious which spirit beast belonged to which clan. However, if a spirit beast transformed into a human, it would be difficult to identify its original form. This had nothing to do with strength. Unless they were familiar with each other, even the Vermillion Bird would not be able to identify it.
As soon as the Vermillion Bird finished speaking, not a single spirit beast stepped forward to respond. Lin Yi was a human cultivator who had come to fish in troubled waters. It would be strange if a spirit beast stepped forward.
Seeing that the atmosphere had fallen into an awkward stalemate, Lin Yi knew that something was going to happen if this went on, so he quickly replied, "Elder Vermillion Bird, I don't live in An Luo City. I just happened to pass by, so I came to join the convention. My hometown is actually Lufeng Forest."
Lufeng Forest was the only place that Lin Yi was relatively familiar with. Because it was an abandoned area, it was on the outskirts of the spirit beast clan. As the leader of the spirit beast clan, the Vermillion Bird would not care about a country bumpkin who came from such a place. Since there were so many spirit beasts present, there must not be any "acquaintances" from Lufeng Forest.
"What? Lufeng Forest? " The Vermillion Bird raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, but then her tone became even more unfathomable, "How is that possible? How did a mere Gold Core Stage cultivator manage to travel such a long distance? What exactly do you do? "
At the same time, all the spirit beasts present looked at Lin Yi with suspicion. The south island was different from the human society. In the human society, as long as one didn't make trouble, even if he was only in the Gold Core Stage, he could go to many places. But it was different here. Every spirit beast had a deep-rooted sense of territory.
Under normal circumstances, if a weak spirit beast dared to cross a powerful spirit beast's territory, it would usually end up being eaten. This was a matter of course among the spirit beasts, so nobody would interfere.
Therefore, in the eyes of any spiritual beast, it was simply impossible for a Golden Core Stage spiritual beast to traverse all the way from Lufeng Forest to here.
Looking at the suspicious expressions of the spirit beasts, Lin Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He subconsciously used the human's thinking just now, but he forgot that although many of the spirit beasts could transform into humans, they were fundamentally different from humans.
"I think he's a spy who was bribed by a human cultivator. Left and right, take him down!" Azure Dragon, who was next to him, immediately ordered.
"Yes!" The guards that were guarding the area shot up into the air. Even Lin Yi couldn't help but jump in fright when he felt the terrifying aura coming from the guards.
The momentum of these spirit beast guards was even more majestic and vast than that of the giants in the Mountain Opening Stage. The insufferably powerful evil cultivator giant Elder Sect of West Mountain couldn't even compare with these guards. This was simply incredible!
It was even more ferocious and horrible than the Mountain Opening Stage. What realm was this? At this moment, Lin Yi's heart was in turmoil. The Mountain Opening Stage was already the highest realm he had ever seen, but he didn't expect it to be an eye-opener in the territory of the spirit beasts.
A few random guards that jumped out were already stronger than the Mountain Opening Stage, not to mention the high and mighty top-notch existences like the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon. Wasn't the spirit beasts too ridiculously strong?
It was only at this moment that Lin Yi finally realized that the spirit beasts had been able to compete with human cultivators for a long time. This was not without reason. It was no wonder that the Vermillion Bird was so ambitious to amass wealth wantonly. No matter who controlled such a frighteningly huge force, they would most likely be as confident as the Vermillion Bird, or even more unscrupulous.
As mentioned before, the strength of the spirit beasts was far above any human sect. In the past, Lin Yi more or less had a trace of prejudice against the spirit beasts. He always felt that without the strong deterrence of the former king of the spirit beasts, the spirit beasts had fallen apart day by day.
But now it seemed that even though the overall strength of the spirit beasts was not as strong and invincible as before, it still couldn't be underestimated. If an all-out war really broke out, human cultivators would definitely pay a huge price. Even if they could laugh until the end, it would probably be a pyrrhic victory.
In an instant, a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind, but this was not the time for Lin Yi to be in a daze. With his strength, he couldn't even face the Elder Sect of West Mountain, let alone facing these terrifying spirit beasts that were superior to the Elder Sect of West Mountain.
Lin Yi knew that this time, he was probably really finished. Once he was caught, his identity as a human would inevitably be exposed in front of the various means of these powerful spirit beasts. When that time came, it was easy to imagine what would happen to him. Even death would probably be an extravagant hope.
Once a person was unlucky, even drinking water would be difficult. Lin Yi felt that this was his current state. There was always a piece of bad luck lingering on top of his head. It was not easy to get rid of the Elder Sect of West Mountain, but in the blink of an eye, he had encountered these even more ruthless existences …
While Lin Yi was feeling helpless, the ghost was tangled and hesitating. In this kind of situation, it was impossible for Lin Yi to escape unscathed. The only way to have a chance was to stand up in front of everyone.
As the former Elder of the Azure Dragon Clan, the ghost believed that it should have some influence in the spirit beast clan, especially in a public place like the Spirit Beast Convention. Even the Vermillion Bird might not dare to do anything to it. If it stood up for Lin Yi, the pressure would naturally shift from Lin Yi to it. Of course, the premise was that it had the strength to do so!
But now, what if the Vermillion Bird didn't buy it?
