The Vermillion Bird suddenly felt that the Puppet King that it had found was not as simple as it thought. This fellow's schemes were much deeper than it had expected. ¤
However, even though it had seen through the other party's intentions, the Vermillion Bird could not disobey the order in public for such a small matter. After all, it was in public and the other party was the absolute ruler of the Spiritual Beast Clan. The Vermillion Bird could not lose the bigger picture because of a small matter.
As a matter of fact, if one were to think about it carefully, they would realize that the Puppet King's move seemed meaningless and inexplicably useless, but it was actually a trick that had its own meaning.
If the Vermillion Bird chose to tolerate it in public, it would give the other party room to take a yard after taking an inch. In other words, it would give the other party the capital to negotiate with the Vermillion Bird. In order to prevent the other party from meddling in the crucial issues in the future, the Vermillion Bird had to make a certain degree of concession. It had no other choice.
If the Vermillion Bird chose to disobey the order in public, the problem would be even more serious. Even if it and the Azure Dragon joined forces to control most of the forces of the Spiritual Beast Clan, one should not forget that there were still two other top-notch elders eyeing them covetously. They were both ambitious and powerful characters. They did not dare to act rashly now, but once they caught hold of the Vermillion Bird's weakness, they would definitely not hesitate to use the banner of purging the Emperor. That would be a headache.
Thinking of this, even the Vermillion Bird could not help but be secretly shocked and broke out in cold sweat. It was clearly just a seemingly meaningless impromptu move. In the end, it did not expect such a deep scheme to be hidden behind it. It was really a little scary.
The Vermillion Bird could not help but take a deep look at the Spiritual Beast King under the colorful bamboo hat. It hoped that it was thinking too much. Otherwise, it was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future.
The Vermillion Bird and the Azure Dragon were secretly on guard, but the Spiritual Beast King was as calm as water. It did not have the slightest intention of interfering with the appointment of the Governor of Demon Leng City. It just sat there quietly with its face mask facing the direction where Lin Yi had left. No one knew what it was thinking.
After leaving the venue of the Spirit Beast Convention calmly, Lin Yi immediately went all out without any hesitation. He risked his life to use the extreme Butterfly Subtle Steps that he had yet to master. His figure turned into a ghost that shuttled through the dense forest, quickly distancing himself from the large group of extremely terrifying Spirit Beasts.
Even though he was pardoned by the Spiritual Beast King, Lin Yi knew that he did not have the chance to dawdle. His excuse of leaving was to find a place to relieve himself. Naturally, he could not drag it out for too long. If he did, the Spiritual Beasts would definitely notice that something was wrong and he would not be able to escape.
But even so. Lin Yi's actions were actually very risky, because the Vermillion Bird had been using its Divine Sense to monitor the entire scene. Once it sensed that Lin Yi was rapidly escaping, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, the Vermillion Bird was now wholeheartedly pondering how to deal with the King of Spiritual Beasts. For a short period of time, it wouldn't continue to monitor the entire area with its Divine Sense. Moreover, an insignificant character like Lin Yi wasn't within the scope of its attention. Thus, it wouldn't deliberately search for Lin Yi's position.
Even if he ran away, it would only think that he was afraid and didn't dare to come back.
This continued for a full incense stick of time. At least a hundred miles away from the Spiritual Beast Convention, Lin Yi's heart, which was suspended in the air, calmed down a little. He let out a long breath with lingering fear. This time, he really escaped from death. It was purely a fluke.
But even so, Lin Yi did not dare to stop completely. Instead, he used the Super Butterfly Subtle Steps to continue running. He didn't know whether the Vermillion Bird had locked onto him or not. He also didn't know how far the Vermillion Bird's Divine Sense could cover. To be on the safe side, of course, it was better to escape as far as possible.
As for not continuing to use the Super Butterfly Subtle Steps … This was something that couldn't be helped. This kind of state of extreme stimulation was destined to pay a great price. If it continued for a little longer, a large number of cells in the body would immediately "die of overwork". That was an act of self-harm.
Even though Lin Yi had the ability to heal himself, he didn't dare to mess around like this. Good steel should be used where it mattered most. He could only use the Super Butterfly Subtle Steps when it was necessary. Normally, it was better to maintain the Super Butterfly Subtle Steps. Anyway, this speed was already very fast.
While running away, Lin Yi exclaimed in his heart, "I didn't know that this new Spiritual Beast King is really a good person. Oh no, a good Spiritual Beast!"
When he was suppressed by the pressure of the Spiritual Beast Guards just now, he didn't move at all, as if he wouldn't change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. In fact, how could that really be the case?
Just now, his heart almost exploded from fear. If he had been a second late, he would have died without a burial place. It was really too f * cking thrilling!
"That new Spiritual Beast King is a little strange … Could it be that you know him?" At this moment, the ghost was also puzzled. This time, even he felt that he would definitely die. He didn't expect that he would survive the disaster, and in this way, it was really puzzling.
"Pfft!" Lin Yi almost choked. With a strange expression, he said, "Senior, even you, the former Green Dragon Elder, don't know him. I'm just a human cultivator who came from the secular world. How could I know the Spiritual Beast King?"
"That's true." The ghost also thought that it was quite impossible, but the doubt in its heart still lingered. "But if it doesn't know him at all, what did it mean just now? And it said that he's from the Great Fire Lion Clan in Lufeng Forest. Could it be pure guesswork? It doesn't make sense. In its position, there's no reason for it to come out and save you … "
"That I don't know. Maybe it's really guesswork. I mentioned Lufeng Forest, and there really aren't many Spiritual Beasts in Lufeng Forest now. In the whole clan, there are probably only Great Fire Lions and Big Spiders there. It's not completely impossible to guess." Lin Yi thought for a while, then said, "Besides, even if it knows me, it can't recognize me like this, right? I'm still wearing the Thousand Silk Mask!"
"It's true that you're wearing a mask, but you've only changed your appearance. Your body and voice haven't changed at all. You might be able to fool strangers, but it's impossible for you to fool people with your true intentions," the ghostly thing denied.
"That doesn't make sense. I've never had any interaction with this new Spiritual Beast King. It has never seen me before, and I've never seen it before. I don't even know what kind of Spiritual Beast it is." Lin Yi shook his head, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "If we really have any interaction, it's more likely to be you, Senior. Could it have sensed your aura?"
