"Surnamed Lin, I didn't expect to see you here! Do you still recognize this young master?" Lin Yi recognized this man-Li Yan from The White Tiger clan.
This guy had said that he was going to challenge Lin Yi after the coronation ceremony, but for some reason, he disappeared without a trace. Lin Yi guessed that The White Tiger must've heard about it, and gave an order to stop Li Yan from challenging Lin Yi.
At that time, White Tiger should've already predicted that they would lose in the elder conference. Lin Yi was brought by Green Dragon, but with White Tiger's methods, it wasn't hard for him to find out that Lin Yi and green Dragon didn't get along. It was already careful not to make contact.
Lin Yi looked at Li Yan and had a guess. It seemed that he had underestimated The White Tiger. As expected, none of the four elders were easy to deal with. They were all old and experienced.
"Li Yan, what a coincidence to meet you here. What's the matter? Do you think you can't beat me in a challenge, so you want the Golden Dragon to help you?" Lin Yi stopped in his tracks and turned around with a cold smile. He didn't like Li Yan at all, and a few sarcastic words were nothing to him.
With Li Yan's sudden appearance here, anyone who saw him would wonder if he had any connection with the Golden Dragon. Could it be that The White Tiger was the mastermind behind the Golden Dragon? If that was the case, then The White Tiger's schemes were truly terrifying!
"What a joke! You're just a trashy xuansheng stage human cultivator. You're not even worth a fart in my eyes. If it wasn't for the king's high regard for you and the fact that he had appointed you as an elder of pill refining, I would have challenged you to death long ago! Do you need gold Royals?" Li Yan snorted disdainfully, but his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
When Li Yan said he wanted to challenge Lin Yi, he swore that no one would be able to stop him, but in the end, he didn't even make a sound. Lin Yi might not have cared, but Li Yan felt that he had lost all his face!
"I realize that your bragging skills are much better than your hands. The White Tiger elder just helped me, so I'll let you off today for the sake of The White Tiger elder. If you dare to provoke me again, do you believe that I'll just cripple you?" Lin Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile, intentionally provoking Li Yan.
It wasn't that Lin Yi really wanted to deal with Li Yan, but his relationship with The White Tiger was a little complicated right now, and he didn't want to turn on him so easily. If it was another situation, he wouldn't have to deal with a small fry like Li Yan, but this was the entrance to the Dragon Transformation pool, and the Golden Dragon was involved. Lin Yi couldn't be careless. He might provoke Li Yan a little, and he might reveal something.
"If you have the ability, then do it! A trashy Alchemist actually dares to challenge this young master, this is truly heaven-defying!" Li Yan's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with irrepressible anger. However, his hands did not move at all, completely unlike the first time they had met in the palace.
He didn't even need to guess to know that this was a warning from The White Tiger. Otherwise, with Li Yan's personality, he wouldn't have been able to hold back from attacking Lin Yi after being mocked like this!
"I've already said that I won't stoop to your level for the sake of The White Tiger elder. Don't stand here and be an eyesore!" Lin Yi's expression was calm, but his words almost drove Li Yan mad!
"How audacious! You don't want to live, do you?" Before Li Yan could say anything, one of the guards behind him could no longer hold back.
"Apologize to young master Yan immediately. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this place alive!" The other guard also jumped out to show his loyalty.
The others were not willing to fall behind either, and the scene became a little explosive for a while. As long as Li Yan gave the order, a chaotic battle could happen at any time.
A dignified direct descendant of The White Tiger clan, an expert of the earth formation stage, was actually treated as a junior by a trashy human cultivator of the xuansheng stage. This was simply bullying!
Although Lin Yi could be considered White Tiger's colleague in terms of the relationship between the outer hall and inner hall elders, what did that have to do with Li Yan?
Lin Yi's expression was calm. He saw Li Yan clench his fist, and the meridians in his hand burst. He knew how angry this guy was, but after two breaths, Li Yan calmed down. This surprised Lin Yi-it seemed like he had underestimated this guy!
"Surnamed Lin, I'll allow you to be arrogant today. This young master will let you know one day that the people of The White Tiger clan can't be bullied by any rubbish human race cultivator!" Li Yan raised his hand, stopping the guards behind him from going on a rampage as he looked at Lin Yi coldly.
Lin Yi hmphed, his disdainful look on his face. Li Yan, who had just managed to calm himself down, almost exploded again.
"Good dogs don't block the way, go away! This young master has something to do!" Li Yan suppressed his anger and walked around Lin Yi to the Dragon Transformation pool.
There was nothing he could do. He, Li Yan, did not dare to disobey The White Tiger's orders. Although he was a direct descendant, he was still a double-digit number of direct descendants. He had no status in front of The White Tiger.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He didn't think that Li Yan was really looking for the Golden Dragon. What was the connection between them?
If The White Tiger was really the one who ordered the Golden Dragon to kill Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng, Li Yan shouldn't have come to the Dragon Transformation pool to find the Golden Dragon so openly. Did he really think that the Vermillion Bird and the Green Dragon's men were blind?
"Elder Lin?" Yang Shaowen asked Lin Yi in an undetectable voice, wondering if they should attack Li Yan and the others.
Lin Yi shook his head lightly, telling yang Shaowen to calm down. Since Li Yan was going to find the Golden Dragon, their best choice was to wait and see.
Li Yan didn't care about Lin Yi's presence at all. He brought his men to the entrance of the Dragon Transformation pool and signaled for his men to knock on the door. That kind of carefree attitude made Lin Yi think that it wasn't a Golden Dragon hired by White Tiger.
The door of the transdragon pool opened quickly, and a middle-aged man with a dull expression appeared at the door. He glanced at the people outside indifferently.
"Please come in if there's anything you need. If not, please leave!" The middle-aged man paused for a second as he looked at Lin Yi before speaking to the crowd.
"Is the Golden Dragon here? This young master has something to discuss with him!" Li Yan raised his chin and glanced at the middle-aged man from the corner of his eyes. His expression was extremely arrogant, most likely because he was very dissatisfied with his attitude.
It was one thing for the great young master Li Yan to lose to Lin Yi, but how dare a mere Assassin's guard dog show him attitude? did he really think that The White Tiger clan was a pushover just because they didn't show their might?
Lin Yi was pretty much certain that Li Yan had nothing to do with the assassination in the palace. He probably didn't know that the Golden Dragon had entered the palace to attack Lin Yi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he had something to discuss with the Golden Dragon.
