Chapter 4552: Why didn’t you say so earlier?

“Oh my God, why am I involved now …” Lin Yi was speechless. He smiled bitterly and continued,””Did he help you after that? I guess he did help you. Otherwise, how did you end up in the secular world?”

The ghastly thing was silent for a moment before it said,””You can say that I barely helped you by half.”

“Half of it? What’s the meaning of this?” Lin Yi blinked.

“Nothing much. I just kept pestering him, and that old thing was tired of my nagging, so he agreed to fight with me. If I won, he would help me. If I lost, there was no need to talk about anything else, and he could never bother him again.” The ghastly thing explained.

“And then? What was the result?” Lin Yi couldn’t wait to ask-he really wanted to know who was stronger between the ghost and Zhang Liju, these two top-tier beings.

“We fought for three days and three nights, from the sky to the ground, and then to the sea. In the process, we even destroyed five islands, but no one won, it was a draw …” The damn thing sounded a little excited. After all, it was rare to find an opponent as strong as Zhang Liju.

“Uh, that’s really intense.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but click his tongue-as far as he knew, the stronger the practitioner, the more emphasis they had on killing in one hit, especially at the ghost thing and Zhang Liju’s level. Normally, they would be able to tell who was stronger in one move, but the two of them had been fighting for three days and three nights without a winner. It was clear that they were evenly matched.

“It was intense, other than Zhang Liju, I’ve never met an opponent like this before. Even my old enemy, Vermilion Bird, wasn’t this difficult to deal with, and it was an easy and pleasant fight. I have to say, this old thing is indeed a top figure. ” The demonic thing nodded and sighed. As the former Azure Dragon, he had always been proud. Other than the king of spirit beasts, he rarely held others in such high regard. Zhang Liju was a rare exception.

“What happened after that?” Lin Yi continued.

“After that? “No one has won or lost, so the previous bet can’t be counted. Since we’re tied, we can only help half of each other. That old thing didn’t help me open the formation passage, but he lent me the five elements divine stone, so I was able to go to the secular world, but the price I paid was that huge pressure. Hehe, I’ve ended up in this state …” The ghost laughed at itself.

“I see.” Lin Yi nodded-he knew what happened after that, and there was no point in asking anymore. He thought for a moment before asking, “That’s not right, if Zhang Liju didn’t want his seven wives to get hurt, then why did he go to the mortal world?”

He asked because he suddenly remembered that the Shennong medicine cauldron in the tomb disappeared for some reason. If he was right, it was probably Zhang Liju’s doing, which meant that he’d been to the common world at least once.

Could it be that he had encountered an emergency after that, so much so that he couldn’t even care about his seven wives who were injured and unconscious? based on the ghost’s description of his protective nature, that was unlikely, right?

“He did tell me that since we’re tied, he can help me open the channel after a while, but the premise is that his wives ‘strength has to be improved to the same realm. In this case, opening the channel will only consume some physical strength and true Qi at most, and they won’t be injured and fall into a coma together. After that, they’ll fully recover after a few years of rest, and there’s no need to bear any unexpected risks.” The ghastly thing said.

“That means that all of his wives meet the requirements, and that’s why he can travel between the mortal world and Sky Class Island as he pleases,” Lin Yi nodded.”Isn’t that a good suggestion? we just need to wait a few years and no one will have to take any risks. Senior, can’t you wait a few years?”

Although the lifespan of a high-level cultivator, especially a top-grade spirit beast like this ghostly thing, was not endless, it was still an extremely long thing. A few years would pass in the blink of an eye, so why should he take such a great risk to fight for these few years and end up in his current state? no matter how he looked at it, it was not worth it.

“Of course I can ‘t!” The ghastly thing’s tone was burning, and then he said with a bitter smile,”If the situation of the spirit beast clan hadn’t reached a critical point, I wouldn’t have put down my face and asked a human for help. Even when I faced the king of the spirit beasts, I have never been so humble. If I had to wait a few more years like that old thing said, I would have no problem. However, the spirit beast clan has already fallen apart. You have seen the Vermillion bird’s ambitious attitude. How could I wait?”

“That’s true, but haste makes waste. If you hadn’t acted so rashly and listened to Zhang Liju, things wouldn’t have gotten out of hand like this. At least with you here, even if the Vermilion Bird got a puppet to become the new king of the spirit beasts, it wouldn’t be able to do whatever it wants. ” Lin Yi analyzed.

Before the situation was clear, it was better to stay still than to move. This was what he had learned from his many years of experience. However, everyone had different personalities, and their ways of doing things were naturally different. If the ghost did as he said, it would not be a ghost.

“You’re right. It’s a pity that I didn’t meet you back then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen to this point today. To be honest, although your strength isn’t good, there’s still a lot for me to learn. ” The ghastly thing sighed with emotion.

Lin Yi wasn’t just being polite-it was the truth. It wasn’t just his talent and luck that allowed him to grow to where he was today, but his style of doing things with evidence. If it were someone else with the same talent and luck, they’d be dead by now.

“Senior, please don’t ridicule me. The great former Azure Dragon said that he wanted to learn from me, a mere Jindan stage soldier. If this gets out, I’ll be laughed at to death.” Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand. He paused for a moment before speaking up,”Speaking of which, I’ve been asking around about Zhang Liju ever since I came to Sky Class Island-why didn’t you say so earlier, senior? At that time, he didn’t say a word, so I thought you had never seen him before …” ”
