At first, the response of the demon clan was, "Master of Middle-earth, our soul search ritual is not yet complete."

When I heard this, I was not sad, on the contrary, I had some hope.

After all, Lin Yi's search for the souls of Candle Jiuyin and Ancient Ying Long was not finished yet.

But it didn't take long for the demon clan's person in charge of the spirit search ritual to come up to me: "Middle-earth Teacher, we ......

"You've failed, too?" I looked at the person in charge of the demon clan with a gloomy expression and asked.

It's not that I'm smart, it's that he has the word frustration written all over his face, and even I can see it blindly.

Sure enough, he quickly nodded, "Yes, Middle-earth National Master, I'm sorry that we are not a shallow learner and can't help."

"No, you can't be blamed for that." I looked at the people of the demon clan, and I couldn't say that I was not disappointed.

But they really can't be blamed for this.

And at this time, counting the people of the demon clan, all the people's soul search has failed.

Seeing this, everyone also turned their attention to Lin Yi.

The same is true for me and Zang Zhi.

Without him, because Lin Yi is our last hope at this moment.

But is that hope really going to happen?

For the first time, I was shaken by Lin Yi, and at the same time, time passed minute by minute.

The previous four hours had already taken two and a half hours, and now there is less than an hour and a half. And no one knows how long it will take for Lin Yi's side to end.

So after waiting for a while, Zang Zhi finally couldn't help but speak, "National Teacher, how long will it take for the chief to finish here? There's only an hour left until dawn?"

"I don't know." I said it truthfully.

"National teacher, that ......" Zang Zhi heard my words, and stopped talking.

It's like wanting to speak, but it's hard to speak.

I understand his worries, and I know his concerns, after all, there are so many people watching. And it's not just our Middle-earth forces.

"Don't worry, the chief has his own measure." With this in mind, I suppressed all my worries and deliberately raised my voice.

Hearing my words, although Zang Zhi's brows were still frowning, he still replied in a dignified manner: "What the national teacher said is that the last general is worried about the sky."

It's just that anyone can say something that sounds good and can stabilize the overall situation.

After finishing speaking, Zang Zhi and I couldn't help but glance at each other, and both of us fell into deep worry.

But fortunately, it didn't take long for Lin Yi to show signs of returning to his senses, which meant that his soul-seeking ritual was over.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

But unfortunately, Lin Yi's recovery seemed to be much slower than normal.

At first, I didn't particularly care, after all, maybe Lin Yi had gained something. Or maybe he brought back the soul of Candle Jiuyin or the ancient Ying Dragon.

But gradually, I found out that something was wrong, that is, Lin Yi's recovery took more than ten minutes and was not over.

This is undoubtedly abnormal.

So after Zang Zhi and I exchanged glances, I Zang Zhi soon ordered the others to surround Lin Yituan.

Then, I spoke, "Everyone, wait a moment, the chief should have encountered a sudden situation, please let me deal with it first."

"Middle-earth National Master, please rest assured, we will definitely protect you and the Middle-earth Chief." The Golden Crow clan was the first to speak.

And then all of them were very serious.

Subsequently, other missions such as the Demon Clan, Country A, and the Oriental Kingdom also joined one after another.

Seeing that they were willing to help instead of standing idly by, I was grateful, and said, "Thank you, no matter what the outcome may be. We in Middle-earth will remember your help."

After making a promise, I didn't say more, but went directly through the people of Middle-earth to Lin Yi's side.

It's just that when I wanted to stretch out my hand to test Lin Yi's situation, I didn't expect him to suddenly open his eyes, but his eyes instantly became extremely scarlet.

Just when I was shocked that he had changed so much, I didn't want to wait for him to open his eyes the next moment

Time.

His eyes were back to their normal color.

It was as if I had just been dazzled by the mistake of what had just happened.

But, am I really wrong?

Apparently impossible.

"Old man Lin, what's wrong with you?" I hurriedly reached out and grabbed his wrist and tried to probe his physical condition.

As a result, before I could go deeper, his own divine power excluded me.

And I was forcibly bounced away by his divine power, which was inevitably a little unexpected, so that my whole person was implicated by it. I almost lost my center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.

But fortunately, the next moment, Lin Yi stopped me by the waist and hugged me. At the same time, he said, "Dingdong, don't come near me."

This, what's the situation?

"Chief!" Hearing this, Zang Zhi immediately rushed over.

Not for anything else, he was really worried about Lin Yi.

"Take the national teacher away." Lin Yi seemed to be holding back something, gritted his teeth and said.

Zang Zhi naturally found that Lin Yi was wrong, but he still did it immediately, and immediately wanted to take me away.

However, he was blocked by my backhand: "Zang Zhi, you sober up, this is the ancient land, Wu doesn't ask them, their whereabouts are unknown. Half of the Middle-earth combatants are still unconscious. Where can you take me with you?"

Did he think it was Middle-earth?

As soon as we leave this inn, we still have countless reinforcements and places to choose from?

"But......" Zang Zhi was obviously reminded by my words, but he was unwilling to disobey Lin Yi's orders.

Especially when he saw Lin Yi raising his hand with a pale face at the moment, signaling him to leave quickly. Zang Zhi was even more shaken.

If I had to fight hard, I wouldn't be a match for Zang Zhi right now.

And I can't do anything with him, the chief of Middle Earth has something wrong, and Zang Zhi and I are still turning against each other.

No matter who sees this, they will feel that there is a big problem in Middle Earth, and Shao Hao will definitely take advantage of it when the time comes. So I immediately grabbed Zang Zhi's hand with my backhand: "No, but now I am the only person who can save Lin Yi. You send me away now, if something happens to Lin Yizhen, can you take responsibility?"

"What's more, Captain Zang, you don't have the slightest certainty that you can guarantee my safety. In that case, what are you sending me away for?"

"Is it just for me and Lin Yi to die?" In the end, I didn't say it out loud, one was afraid that people outside would hear it, and the other was afraid that Shao Hao, who was hiding in the dark, would hear it.

What's more, I only need one person to hear what I say.

When Zang Zhi heard me say this, he raised his head almost suddenly, his face full of shock and disbelief.

But I just nodded at him: "Zang Zhi, what I said is true, you and I know it."

With my words, Zang Zhi no longer hesitated and immediately took advantage of the situation, pushing me back to Lin Yi's side, and at the same time said in a deep voice, "Chief, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders."

This was probably the first time Zang Zhi had disobeyed Lin Yi's orders.

So Lin Yi didn't expect it at all, until I had already hugged him again, that Lin Yi completely reacted.

He instinctively wanted to push me away, as if he was a heinous demon at the moment, and anyone who came near him would be unlucky.

But will I be pushed away by him?
