The man wearing the bamboo hat nodded. The Great Fire Lion was cannon fodder, and so was Hu Ling. After this incident, the spiritual beasts would definitely know that Hu Ling was under the control of the central organization. Otherwise, why would they be willing to give up their position as the leader to assist a weak spiritual beast like the Great Fire Lion?
Junior Brother Pao's meaning was very clear. He wanted to use these two dispensable cannon fodder spirit beasts to test the attitude of the spirit beast clan. In the real section of the sea, who had the final say?
If the spirit beast clan acquiesced to Junior Brother Pao's mischievous arrangement, it meant that the center's right to speak in this area had surpassed the spirit beast clan. If there was a strong backlash, it meant that the cooperation between the two sides was only superficial, and the entire real section of the sea was only verbally given to the center. In fact, the spirit beast clan was not sincere.
"Junior Brother Pao is really thoughtful. Then let's wait and see the reaction of the spirit beast clan first before making any plans." The man with the bamboo hat still did not think that Junior Brother Pao's approach was right, but he did not oppose him. Anyway, there was no loss in trying. It was also good for future plans to understand the thoughts of the spirit beast clan.
After the two reached an agreement, the matter was settled. At the same time, the dejected Hu Ling and Zheng Tianqing returned to the straw hut where Lin Yi was. The big fire lion had not been replaced yet, so Hu Ling simply called him to an empty straw hut and talked with the big fire lion with Zheng Tianqing for more than ten minutes.
When he came out, the big fire lion was still a little stunned. He did not understand how he suddenly became the leader of the spirit beast guards guarding Lin Yi.
With his strength, although he was not the weakest among all the guards, he was almost in the bottom three. How did he become the leader?
In any case, this was good for Lin Yi. After the big fire lion thought about this, he did not refuse. Anyway, he had to find a way to rescue Lin Yi first. Nothing else was important.
Hu Ling summoned all the spirit beast guards and announced this matter, but he did not dare to directly say that the big fire lion had become the leader of the guards. After all, there were people from various factions of the spirit beast clan. This matter could not be too obvious, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
After everyone dispersed, the big fire lion found an excuse to see Lin Yi's alchemy and directly went to find Lin Yi.
"Benefactor, I suddenly became the leader of the guards. If you are willing to leave, the chance of success will increase several times. Take advantage of this opportunity and leave here with me quickly." In addition to telling Lin Yi briefly about his situation, the big fire lion came over to persuade Lin Yi to leave again.
Previously, the confidence was too small, so it was normal for Lin Yi to refuse. But this time, the big fire lion felt that the success rate was at least 60%, so he had the courage to try again.
"Big Fire Lion, no matter how many times you say this, it will be the same. I will not leave with you, so you don't have to persuade me anymore. Tell me again how you became the head guard. Don't leave out any details. I have a feeling that this matter is not that simple." Lin Yi waved his hand. He definitely would not leave here now, so how to see through the enemy's plot became very important.
"I am a little confused about this matter myself. According to Zheng Tianqing, it seems that the man in the black hat who cooperated with our spirit beast clan saw my potential, so he arranged for me to take over the spirit beast guards. I don't know the details, so I can only repeat what he said. "The big fire lion suppressed the confusion in his heart and completely copied Zheng Tianqing's words.
"Is that so? It really is a little strange. " Lin Yi rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. From all the signs, the man in the red hat called Junior Brother Pao seemed to be helping them intentionally or unintentionally. This was really not right!
Was Junior Brother Pao Zhang Naipao? Was he secretly helping Lin Yi and the others because of Zhong Pingliang?
If that was the case, wouldn't it be better not to catch them in the first place? But speaking of which, it was the spirit beast clan that caught them, and it really had nothing to do with Junior Brother Pao.
Lin Yi shook his head and put this matter aside for now. He couldn't do anything without confirming Junior Brother Pao's identity. If there was a chance, he would have to meet this Junior Brother Pao in person.
"Big fire lion, the spirit beast king's coronation ceremony, will you attend?" Lin Yi remembered that this was the reason he was concocting elixirs now and asked casually.
"Of course, the spirit beast king's coronation ceremony is a grand event for the entire spirit beast clan. All spirit beasts will attend. The entire South Continent is under our control anyway, and there won't be any problems when the guards are removed on that day. Whoever dares to cause trouble at that time will have to face the wrath of the entire spirit beast clan. I believe that no one would dare to do such a thing." The big fire lion showed some pride on his face. After staying with the spirit beast clan for a few years, he had developed a sense of belonging to the entire spirit beast clan.
"I want to see it too. Do you have any way to bring me there when the time comes?" Lin Yi didn't hold back. The big fire lion even dared to release him secretly, so bringing him to the coronation ceremony shouldn't be a problem.
As expected, the big fire lion nodded readily. "No problem, I'll bring you guys there when the time comes. If there's a chance, it's best if you leave South Continent. Speaking of which, the coronation ceremony is a good opportunity for you guys to leave. All the higher-ups will be gathered then, and without the masters watching, it'll be much easier for you guys to leave. "
"We'll talk about this when the time comes. Big fire lion, it's time for you guys to leave. Staying here for too long will arouse suspicion." Lin Yi waved at the big fire lion. He didn't think that a cheap guard leader like the Big Fire Lion could suppress all the guards. When it was time to be cautious, one couldn't be careless!
The big fire lion also understood this, so after saying goodbye to Lin Yi in a low voice, he turned around and left the straw hut. He continued to think of ways to arrange Lin Yi's escape route and preparations.
In the days that followed, everything became extremely peaceful. Xiong Bao didn't come looking for trouble with Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi again. It should have been warned by Azure Dragon when he went back to report, so the spirit beasts who came to collect the elixirs were very polite to Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi. Not to mention the number of elixirs, it didn't matter even if one was missing occasionally.
The only anomaly was that Hu Ling disappeared. No one knew where he went. Some said he escaped, some said he was secretly executed, and there were other theories. Anyway, he disappeared and no one saw him again. Lin Yi didn't care about this. He was only concerned about the upcoming coronation ceremony of the king of spirit beasts!
