"The outer hall elder Lin Yi requests to see the king, please pass the message." Lin Yi cupped his fist and smiled politely at the spirit beast guard.
"Wait a moment!" The spirit beast guard didn't dare to be neglectful. With the identity of the outer hall elder and the Jade token of The White Tiger elder, he had to be careful.
Not to mention, Lin Yi was an elder appointed by the king of the spirit beasts. He was just a guard, and he didn't dare to offend him.
In just a dozen breaths of time, the spirit beast guard who had gone in to pass the message rushed over and bowed with an apologetic face.""Elder Lin, I'm really sorry. You're a step late. The king has already started his closed-door cultivation, and I don't dare to disturb the king. If you have any important matters, please discuss them with the cabinet elders. Or you can come and see him after the king comes out of seclusion. "
"Has the king already gone into seclusion?" Lin Yi blinked. He thought that White Tiger was just making things up, but it turned out to be true. It seemed like his luck wasn't good enough. No wonder the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon didn't stop him when they heard that he was looking for the king of spirit beasts.
"That's right. However, before the king went into seclusion, he had instructed his personal guards that if elder Lin were to come to visit, he could stay in the king's bedchamber and wait for the king to come out." At this point, the guard paused for a moment and continued,""However, this is not in accordance with the rules, so I suggest that elder Lin should return to your own residence and wait for the king to come out of seclusion."
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile-this spirit beast guard was quite honest. Normal people wouldn't say things like this so directly, right?
"I wonder how long Your Majesty will be in seclusion this time?" Naturally, Lin Yi wouldn't stay in the king of spirit beasts 'Palace. Not to mention searching for the forbidden area where the void chains were and destroying the three-party alliance, he couldn't be at ease with li Zao Yi alone.
"I can't be sure of the exact time. If it's long, it might take a year and a half. If it's short, it might take ten days or even half a month." The spirit beast guard smiled at him, his attitude very good.
The king of spirit beasts 'current strength was still relatively low, so it was really hard to estimate how much it could increase one level in seclusion. Those with high talent cultivated very quickly, so it was not strange for them to break through in a few days. For those with low talent, it was possible for them to be stuck for a lifetime.
"I understand. I'll go back and wait. If the king comes out of seclusion, please send someone to inform him." Lin Yi smiled and cupped his fists. After getting the Guard's permission, he turned around and left with Zheng Dongsheng.
Zheng Dongsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to go back without seeing the king of spirit beasts had reduced a lot of pressure on him. However, of course, he could not show it on his face. He had to show that he was very regretful.
"It's such a pity. If we could have been faster, we might have been able to see the king of the spiritual beasts!" Zheng Dongsheng sighed, making himself look even sadder than Lin Yi.
"It's no big deal. We'll have the chance to meet the king of spirit beasts in the future." Lin Yi smiled faintly and waved his hand, not minding at all.
After arriving at the king of spirit beasts 'bedroom, The White Tiger's Jade card was taken back by the spirit beast guard who led the way. Now the two of them no longer had any special privileges on the return trip, so they could only walk along the specific road.
The sentries on the way looked at the two coldly. Lin Yi was used to it, but Zheng Dongsheng felt uncomfortable. Before betraying Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon, he was treated slightly better than Lin Yi.
"Zheng Dongsheng, how did you get to know Green Dragon? They're even supporting you wholeheartedly. " Lin Yi had always suspected that Zheng Dongsheng was recommended to Green Dragon by central. Since this guy needed his help, he might as well ask him and see if this old man was honest or not.
Zheng Dongsheng's feet paused for a moment, then he smiled and said,""I'm just a small character. Green Dragon is supporting me like a puppet. If I didn't meet you, Master Lin, God knows what would have happened to me in the future."
Lies!
Lin Yi squinted his eyes. Zheng Dongsheng was still up to no good. It seemed like he couldn't trust him too much in the future!
It wasn't just one or two people who had defected from central. Lin Yi would give the most trust to anyone he could trust, but Zheng Dongsheng was obviously not one of them.
"It's like this! Ha ... I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for you. " Lin Yi smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.
"Of course it's a disaster and not a blessing. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be involved in it!" Zheng Dongsheng smiled, but he felt that Lin Yi's words didn't sound right.
What was even more strange was that as the two of them walked, they actually entered a path that was not guarded by any spirit beasts. When they came here before, there was a guard every three steps and a whistle every five steps. Spirit beast experts stood everywhere like pillars.
Lin Yi suddenly stopped and looked around with a serious expression, carefully releasing his spirit sense.
When he was talking to Zheng Dongsheng just now, he didn't notice that the spirit beast guards had disappeared. He was too used to their attention, so he was a little careless.
"Master Lin, what's going on?" Zheng Dongsheng was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. The moment Lin Yi stopped, he subconsciously bent his body and wanted to hide behind Lin Yi.
"It's a little strange. Be careful! I might not be able to take care of you. " Lin Yi didn't turn around, his Qi entering a battle-ready state.
Normally, there would not be any danger in the spirit beast clan's Palace. However, if the person who attacked was a high-ranking member of the spirit beast clan, it would be hard to say.
The previously safe Palace would become the most dangerous place, and Lin Yi and the others wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.
"Master Lin! I offended elder Vermilion Bird and elder Azure Dragon because I wanted to help you. You can't just leave me in the lurch!" Zheng Dongsheng was panicking. If Lin Yi didn't care about him, any spirit beast soldier could kill him.
Lin Yi couldn't care about Zheng Dongsheng at this time. The Jade space was sending out a danger alert, but he still didn't know where the danger was coming from.
Lin Yi grabbed Zheng Dongsheng and used super butterfly micro steps, leaving the place instantly. An invisible attack landed, blasting a deep black hole in the place where he had been.
Lin Yi was speechless. The power of this attack was way beyond the normal earth splitting stage. Even if it wasn't at the sea splitting stage, it was at least at the great circle of earth splitting. If he didn't Dodge it quickly, he would've triggered the defensive talisman Wang Shiyang gave him.
"Who is it that dares to commit murder in the palace? Do you not want to live anymore?" Zheng Dongsheng's clothes that had just dried up were soaked in cold sweat again. If Lin Yi didn't save him, he would have turned into ashes if he was touched by that attack.
Zheng Dongsheng shouted as he hid behind Lin Yi. His eyes were looking around in fear, trying to find out who the attacker was.
