But he'd already said it-other than going to the palace, Xiao Yi could go wherever he wanted, and he could go with Lin Yi.
"It's good that Your Highness wants to take a look around the southern part of the island. It's decided then. We'll set off tomorrow morning. I'll arrange for people to escort you." The Azure Dragon did not say much, as if he had no objections to Xiao Yan's decision.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Green Dragon!" Xiao Yan smiled. His sudden decision to go with Lin Yi made sense. He was further away from the reinforcements of his sea beast clan.
If he were to leave alone, Xiao Yan estimated that he would be killed before he could even meet up with the sea beast race's reinforcements. On the other hand, traveling with the man in the center with the black bamboo hat seemed to be more dangerous, but in reality, the other party would have more scruples if they wanted to make a move.
This could be considered a gamble, but Xiao Yan felt that his choice was correct. Furthermore, following the man with the black bamboo hat might make it easier for him to find out Central's plot.
"Now that I've finished talking about the Azure Dragon, I have a private matter to ask elder Lin." The White Tiger's eyes were wide open as it looked at Lin Yi sharply.
"White Tiger elder, please speak your mind. I will definitely tell you everything I know." Lin Yi smiled and cupped his fist politely.
In fact, Lin Yi could already guess that The White Tiger was probably going to ask about Li Yan's death in the Dragon Transformation pool. After all, he was a direct descendant of The White Tiger clan, and there was no way he could just ignore it.
"Blazing heaven sent a message to me saying that Li Yan died at the hands of the Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon is likely to be the murderer who tried to assassinate you in the palace. You are the only witness other than the Golden Dragon. What exactly happened?" As expected, The White Tiger wanted to ask about Li Yan. Lin Yi wasn't surprised.
"White Tiger elder, I've already told young master Tian everything I need to say. He should have reported it to you, right? I wonder if there's anything that elder doesn't understand that I need to explain? Please feel free to say it. " Lin Yi didn't mind repeating what happened in the Dragon Transformation pool, but his instincts told him that The White Tiger didn't seem to want to know much about it.
"Blazing heaven has indeed reported elder Lin's account to me. What I want to know is whether you think that the Golden Dragon killing Li Yan is related to the assassination in the palace? Ever since this incident happened, I have sent people everywhere to gather information. It is very likely that Li Yan suspected the Golden Dragon's identity and deliberately went to the Dragon Transformation pool to investigate. The Golden Dragon sensed that something was wrong and suddenly killed him. Elder Lin, do you think my guess is reasonable?" The White Tiger suddenly changed the topic and brought the matter back to the assassination in the palace.
As for who directed the assassination in the palace, there was no conclusion yet. The White Tiger said this because he had used Li Yan's death to get himself out of it.
If Lin Yi didn't know the Golden Dragon's motive, he would've suspected that he'd misjudged Li Yan after hearing The White Tiger's words. Did he really want to investigate the Golden Dragon? was that why he was killed?
"Very reasonable! It's a pity that I didn't find any strong evidence to prove The White Tiger elder's words. " Lin Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile. It seemed that the spirit beast clan's internal strife was inevitable, and he was happy to see it.
The White Tiger didn't seem to care too much about Li Yan's death. Instead, it was completely focused on using this as an opportunity to strike at its opponent.
"Elder White Tiger, although the death of Li Yan is considered an internal affair of your clan, it can also be said to be a matter of the entire spirit beast clan. As for the specific truth, we must find out the truth. I have already ordered that all forces within and outside the capital will go all out to capture the Golden Dragon. I believe that this fellow will not be able to escape so easily!" The Vermilion Bird spoke unhurriedly, drawing everyone's attention to him.
The White Tiger snorted. It was clear that it did not appreciate the Vermillion bird's words. Most of the guards in the capital were in the Vermillion bird's hands. It was really difficult to say whether they could catch the Golden Dragon!
"Elder Lin, the news I received was not complete. Could you please describe what happened in the Dragon Transformation pool in detail?" Azure Dragon smiled at Lin Yi after Vermilion Bird was done. His attitude was quite nice.
"No problem. I'll start from when I was ambushed by the Golden Dragon after I left the palace ..." Lin Yi repeated what he told blazing heaven. Azure Dragon and the others all listened expressionlessly without saying anything.
"That's what happened. If the reinforcements didn't come in time, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the Golden Dragon. " Lin Yi said, still a little scared.
"In that case, Li Yan wanted to join forces with the Golden Dragon to deal with you first? In the end, he was killed by the Golden Dragon?" The Green Dragon's ability to pick a fight was not weak, and he immediately grasped the important point.
"Azure Dragon, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that my White Tiger clan's descendants are colluding with the Golden Dragon?" The White Tiger was instantly enraged. At this critical juncture, he did not want to take the blame.
"I didn't say that. I'm just asking about the truth. What are you so nervous about, White Tiger elder?" The Azure Dragon looked at The White Tiger in a calm and unruffled manner. He was thinking about how to make this matter true.
"Elder Lin, I want to know how you broke the Dragon Transformation pool's spell formation. This isn't something that just anyone can do. It seems that elder Lin is also a hidden master!" The Black Tortoise, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He was also trying to help The White Tiger change the topic. It could be confirmed that Li Yan and the Golden Dragon were in contact, and it would only make things more troublesome if he said more.
Everyone was also very interested in this, so when they heard Black Tortoise mention it, they did not object.
"Elder Black Tortoise, you're too kind. I've also said that this is most likely due to yang Shaowen's efforts. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have died in the Dragon Transformation pool!" Lin Yi insisted on his theory-there was no way they'd be able to tell even if they didn't believe him.
"Yang Shaowen, an expert from the sea beast clan, was not weak. However, he should have died before the Dragon Transformation pool was destroyed, right?" Everyone present was an old monster and could not be easily fooled.
"That's true, but the trump card brother yang left behind has successfully broken the Dragon Transformation pond's barrier, attracting the attention of many parties. " Lin Yi said, sticking to this point.
"Alright, these are not big matters. There's no need to get tangled up in them." The Azure Dragon said indifferently. He probably felt that he would not be able to get any useful information from Li Yan, so he decided to focus on the collusion between Li Yan and the Golden Dragon.
"Why don't you all go back first? we'll leave tomorrow morning, and there are still many things to prepare. If there are any questions, we'll ask again." The Black Tortoise spoke slowly, meaning to send the outsiders away first and that it was better to solve the internal affairs by themselves.
