C1999 Retreat Without a Fight

"You, who exactly are you?" The body of the spirit beast continuously retreated, its nine large eyes staring fixedly at Lin Bai. That deep gaze seemed to be able to see through all the secrets on Lin Bai's body.

However, Lin Bai, who was heavily injured, could no longer speak. He could only lie to the side, as blood continuously flowed out from his mouth. However, tens of thousands of doubts had arisen within his heart at this moment.

He could not understand why a spirit beast that had already gained the upper hand and could easily take his life would suddenly give up all means of attack after seeing his true face, and even continuously push it back. Not only that, he could clearly see a hint of panic in its eyes.

Lin Bai could tell that the panic was coming from the depths of his soul, an unconcealable throbbing. In that panic, there was happiness, surprise, fear, and even a trace of barely discernible anger.

"Life Mark, Symbol Technique, Green Lotus, River Diagram …" It was as though the question that the spirit beast had just asked Lin Bai was not about Lin Bai, but rather about itself. Although Lin Bai did not reply at all, the spirit beast kept mumbling to itself, "How is this possible? How can this be? Why is it him? How can it be him?"

"He's clearly already gone. This Karakorum Savant's departure has also turned into a mirage. Why did you come back? But how could you be so weak? Who exactly are you? " The spirit beast answered itself with a question. Its expression was already deranged to the extreme. The nine heads on its neck shook incessantly, as if endless questions were being born in its heart.

"No, you're not him!" It slowly raised its head. Its nine single eyes stared at Lin Bai as it said in a deep voice, "Although you are not him, I cannot kill you! Kid, consider yourself lucky. We will write off all the past matters, but if you ever offend me again, I won't show any mercy! This place is dangerous. I won't kill you, but there will be people who will.

After coldly sweeping a glance at Lin Bai, it slowly turned around and took large strides down the mountain. Just as it was about to reach the side of the Miasma Water Beast, which was about to faint, its large claws suddenly grabbed the Miasma Water Beast, tightly holding it in its hands.

"No matter what, it is a member of my Spiritual Beings. In order to repay the grace, it blocked an attack for you. Now that the grace has been done, the vow is gone. In the future, it will belong to me.

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit beast suddenly let out an angry roar and threw the drowsy Yin Water Beast on its back. It then took big steps and ran off into the distance, disappearing from Lin Bai's line of sight in the blink of an eye.

What had happened? Why did this happen? Why would an enlightened spirit beast retreat without a fight?! Looking at the spirit beast that had already disappeared from his sight, doubt filled Lin Bai's heart.

He could not understand how the spirit beast could force Wu Xuan and the old man into a corner because of the pain of losing its son, but after seeing his appearance, it showed mercy. It even had the absolute advantage that it had already given up on him, leaving behind Lin Bai's life, giving him a chance at survival.

All of this was too illogical! Although Lin Bai considered himself to be a handsome fellow, he felt that he was far from being able to rely on just his face to make the world not afraid. It was also impossible for him to make an enlightened spirit beast change its killing intent, which was already deep within its soul, just because of this face.

Senior Qing Lian! This Enlightened Spirit Beast thinks of me as Senior Qing Lian! Looking at the appearance of the spirit beast, Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat. Then, he suddenly thought of a possibility. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was to be a guess.

In the entire world, other than the senior Qing Lian, whose cultivation was unknown, no one else had the same appearance as him. Only the senior Qing Lian was able to cause the spirit beast to lose its mind like this. Especially when he thought of the portrait of Senior Qing Lian that he had seen in the Snow Monster race, Lin Bai felt that his guess was extremely accurate.

However, what he could not understand was that if this spirit beast had a past with Senior Qing Lian, it would mean that there was a great relationship between Kunlun and Senior Qing Lian. But why had he never revealed a single word to him back then?!

If the spirit beasts truly regarded themselves as Senior Qing Lian, then what was the connection between the Karakorum Holy Land and Senior Qing Lian?! And what unknown relationship did Senior Qing Lian and the jaded artifact elder have with those extremely powerful seniors that had existed in the hidden world?

In an instant, endless doubts filled Lin Bai's heart, causing him to feel extremely perplexed. However, no matter how hard he tried to analyze it, he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

There were too many secrets in this world. So many that unless one was strong enough to understand everything in this world, it would be impossible to know ten to twenty percent of them.

Hiss … While Lin Bai's mind was in a state of confusion, the forbidden snake suddenly swam out from around his body. It flicked its tongue as it continuously swam around him. Those triangular eyes that flickered with a cold glint were filled with concern.

"Relax, I should not be dead in a short period of time …" Lin Bai Qiang extended his hand and gently rubbed the forbidding snake's head. He forced a smile on his face, but the moment his smile appeared, he could not help but cough violently. Accompanying the cough was a salty substance that overflowed from his throat.

Although at the most critical juncture, the spirit beast had already withdrawn its killing intent, the berserk aura from before had still deeply wounded Lin Bai's internal organs when its gaze broke through the domain of laws. It had even shaken Lin Bai to the very core, and if he didn't recuperate as soon as possible, his injuries would have been even more severe.

And compared to his injuries, the ones that worried Lin Bai the most were Gu Taixu and Old Man Hundred Spirit. He always felt that the two of them had unspeakable intentions towards him. The fierce battle between him and the Enlightened Spirit Beast must have disturbed them. It was likely that they were already rushing over here.

If they were to discover their current state and realize that they were heavily injured, who knew what would happen. He might not have died at the hands of the spirit creature, but they might have taken his life.

However, he was severely injured and had no ability to move his body. The Yin Qi water beasts were also taken away by the spirit beasts, and the forbidden snake did not have the ability to carry a human on its back.

It was likely the reason why the spirit beasts wanted to take away the Yin and Water in the first place was to leave him here and lose all of his support, leaving him to fend for himself and his fate.

"Chi!" Right at this moment, a ball of light suddenly flashed in front of Lin Bai. Then, a fragrant smell suddenly emerged. That half-man-sized old ginseng that seemed to be an old man exuding a precious splendor suddenly appeared in front of him.
