Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 10551 10540-

During the altar battle, most of the human slaves that seemed to have died at Lin Yi's hands were actually thrown into the void tunnel by him.

With Xiang Yusheng among them, the safety of this group of people was fully guaranteed.

After personally experiencing Lin Yi's strength and coming back from the dead, it was only natural for them to be grateful to Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi was their Savior.

If it weren't for Lin Yi, they wouldn't even have a chance to walk out of the arena alive. Even if they did, they'd have to face the wrath of the Challenger's family.

Only Lin Yi could give them a chance to live.

Lin Yi didn't really mind.

He was not a warm-hearted old man who liked to help others. It was just that the special environment of the hundred sacred city made him unable to stand by and watch these human slaves, so he took action.

As for whether these people were grateful to him or not, he didn't care and didn't care.

Lin Yi was more curious about Xiang Yusheng's motive for appearing here.

"Looking at senior's appearance, it doesn't seem to be your first time here?"

Xiang Yusheng was stunned for a moment and then nodded with a bitter smile,"It's not the first time. It's actually where I was born."

These words were earth-shattering.

Even Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked,"Senior, are you a local? How is this possible?"

For a moment, he even thought that the other party was the true form of the city.

After all, this place only had the Holy skeleton clan. How could a local suddenly appear?

According to what he had learned from the White skeleton, although the Holy skeleton clan was very disdainful of human slaves, they had always been on guard against them. They did not allow close contact between human slaves, not to mention giving birth to children after mating.

Xiang Yusheng looked at him and said with a sigh, most of the time, the position of humans here was extremely low. However, during a special period, humans were able to temporarily hold the dominant position.

in that special era, the original human slaves became the Masters and trampled all the Holy skeleton clan under their feet.

and I was born in that period.

Lin Yi said.

That period was a black mark in the history of the Holy skeleton clan, and it was almost a blank that had been passed down. Even the higher-ups of the 36 clans like the White skeleton knew very little about it.

Xiang Yusheng continued, " during that short period of time, this place could be considered a paradise. However, the good times didn't last long. Suddenly, one day, the skeleton race and all kinds of undead beasts came back. We were unable to fight against them with our small number.

the most important thing is that the strongest human, the hundred Saint city Lord at that time, has gone missing.

in the chaos, most of the human cultivators became slaves again. Only a small number of them escaped from the burial ground during the chaos. I was one of them.

Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Xiang Yusheng deeply,"I didn't expect senior to have such a bizarre background."

As for the humans 'failure, he was not surprised at all.

If hundredth Saint city was just a simple city, it might really become a paradise. Unfortunately, it was not.

To hundred Saints city, human cultivators were like foreign bacteria. Being dominated by humans was equivalent to having a serious illness.

However, as long as it was still alive, as long as it had enough self-recovery ability, it was only a matter of time before humans were suppressed.

It was truly abnormal for humans to be able to occupy the dominant position for a long time.

"Since you're a local, have you noticed anything strange about the hundred Saint city?"

Lin Yi asked.

"Strange?"

Xiang Yusheng froze for a second, his eyes looking at Lin Yi more inquisitively,"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"For example, what's with the Saint ancestors that the skeletons were talking about?" Lin Yi asked after some thought.

Xiang Yusheng said thoughtfully, " we're not too sure about this. The city Lord has also brought people to study the origin of the hundred Saint city. What is certain is that the burial ground was indeed a very important battlefield in ancient times. Many saints have indeed fallen here.

however, no matter how much we try, we have never truly awakened the remaining will of those Saints.

on the other hand, those skeletons are often responded to by the Sage's will.

in other words, compared to us human cultivators, the Sage's consciousness is more concerned with those skeletons.

"We can't figure this out no matter how much we think."

Lin Yi understood what was going on.

The skeleton Saint clan was the proper cells of the hundred sacred city. The hundred sacred city responded to them in the form of a saint's will in order to maintain control over its own cells.

On the other hand, human cultivators were foreign germs, and their only thought was to destroy them. How could they respond to them?

At the end of the day, even if human cultivators ruled over hundredth Saint city for a short period of time, just like how a normal person would not spend any effort to talk to the bacteria in their body, hundredth Saint city would not even look at the humans here.

"Then what's the reason you're here, senior?" Lin Yi asked.

"To find the city Lord's bones," Xiang Yusheng replied bluntly.

"Your Mayor died here?" Lin Yi raised a brow.

Xiang Yusheng shook his head. we can be sure that the city Lord did die, but we don't know where he died. I've been reviewing the situation all these years outside, and I finally deduced that the only possibility is that he died at the bottom of this pool!

"Finding the Duke's remains is important?" Lin Yi asked, confused.

If the other party had some kind of close blood relationship with the city Lord, it was understandable that he would try to find the remains and let his own ancestors rest in peace.

However, from Xiang Yusheng's tone, although he admired the city Lord, it was not to this extent.

It was clear that this skeleton was not simple.

yes. Xiang Yusheng nodded. you should have seen a level 10 Saint bone. Have you ever heard of a level 11 Saint bone that can break the rules? "

"Could it be that the city Lord has a level 11 Saint bone?" Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked.

"I don't know."

Xiang Yusheng's answer was ambiguous. I was still young at that time. Whether it was my strength or level, I was far from it. I couldn't touch the core secrets of that level. But there are indeed such folklore circulating.

it's said that the reason why the city Lord was able to suppress all the skeletons and undead beasts in one fell swoop was because he had a level 11 Saint bone in his body, which could naturally restrain them.

if the legend is true, then this level-11 Saint bone is of great importance to us.

"Senior, are you trying to imitate the city Lord and lead the human cultivators to regain control of hundred Saint city?" Lin Yi asked, surprised.
