Shortly after Lin Yi finished speaking, a loud laugh echoed from nearby.

“Hahaha, I thought I had made a mistake, but indeed, you’re cautious and meticulous…”

“Such a reticent and low-key individual transforming into such a domineering figure is truly unexpected. Plus, you have already guessed that this is someone’s scheme.”

Then, a person slowly emerged from behind the rocks in the distance. He quickly approached Lin Yi, shrouded in a mist. As the mist dispersed, the man’s true face was revealed. It was an old man dressed in a blue robe. “Lin Yi, don’t you salute your Uncle Master?”

Seeing this person, Lin Yi feigned surprise. However, he swiftly regained his composure and pretended to look confused. “Who are you? I don’t know you. Who is Lin Yi? I am just entrusted by a friend to find a Fire Spirit Bird. Why did you use this red feather to lure me here, laying a trap for me?”

The man in the blue robe laughed heartily, “Lin Yi, there is no need to pretend in front of me. I have been observing you for a long time. Perhaps even your master doesn’t understand you as well as I do.”

He then took a serious look at Lin Yi and said gently, “Your loyalty and integrity are your most significant traits, qualities that many Cultivators lack.”

“When you entered the Dan God Secret Realm and obtained the precious spirit grass from Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, Fire Fierce boasted about it to others.

“He said that even though you have the ability to communicate with animals, letting the Guardian Beast of Giant Spirit tree grow fond of you, his Fire Bird, which you often fed, never left him.”

“I assumed that this Fire Bird was intentionally placed by your side by Fire Fierce. Perhaps you didn’t dare to provoke a Foundation Building Cultivator, or maybe you intentionally allowed Fire Fierce to use his resources to nurture this Spirit Beast.”

“Regardless of the reason, you wouldn’t give up this Fire Bird easily, just like your friendly attitude towards a Martial Artist friend without showing any superiority.”

“Therefore, I used a little scheme to let Fire Fierce come here to cultivate. Seizing the opportunity when he was killed by a Monster Beast while his mind was clouded, I took the Fire Bird, determined that you would come to the rescue. Now, as expected, I guessed correctly.”

Lin Yi’s expression slightly altered, and he shook his head, “Senior, you are good at calculation, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“I’m here because I accepted Zhang Hua’s task in Qing Yun City to search for a Fire Spirit Bird. This Lin Yi you mentioned, I do not know him, nor do I have any connection with him.”

Master of Bi Hai laughed, “Apart from you, no one would venture into the Red Lotus Fire Field. What confuses me is, why would such a cautious person like you, who never takes risks, enter this place today?”

“Maybe there is a reason relating to the Fire Spirit Bird, but the biggest possibility is that you have hidden your real power, believing that you can handle the danger inside.”

While saying this, he started to mutter, “Yes, based on the outcome of these two Secret Realm teaching sessions, I guessed that you might have received the inheritance of the Dan God Secret Realm. You might even have gained the qualifications to use the transmission pathway of the Dan God Secret Realm. Inside the Liu Yun Sect, you can directly teleport to the Red Lotus Fire State.”

“So, as soon as I learned that you had entered seclusion, I rushed here.”

“The inheritance of the Dan God indicates that you may control the resources of a Secret Realm. I suspect your level is far higher than the Foundation Building Fifth Layer.”

“Senior, this Lin Yi that you speak of, could he have potentially received the lineage of the Dan God Secret Realm? That’s astonishing. Is he also at Foundation Building Fifth Layer? It seems that the friend who entrusted me is also at this level. I can bring him out for you,” Lin Yi continued to play dumb.

The reason he did not strike decisively to severely injure or directly kill the Master of Bi Hai is because he had to understand the reason behind this man wanting him dead. Otherwise, the same motives could attract others to him in the future.

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Master of Bi Hai couldn’t help but laugh, “There is no need to continue denying. Whether you are Lin Yi or not, all will become clear once you are dead.”

Lin Yi’s expression turned pale, “Senior, you can’t kill innocents without first confirming their identity, especially considering that you are a Golden Core Real Person of the righteous Liu Yun Sect.”

“Still won’t admit it? I originally wanted to chat with you a bit more, to give you an opportunity to live, but it seems you don’t need it now. So, go die.” Master of Bi Hai’s face turned cold. It seemed he no longer wished to entertain Lin Yi.

Lin Yi let out a soft sigh, saluted with his fist, and said, “Disciple greets Uncle Master Bi Hai. However, I’m completely clueless as to why you insist on killing me.”

“The disciple has no grudge with you. In the previous Secret Realm instruction, I treated your disciples from the Bi Hai Lineage just as earnestly.”

“Could it be due to the inheritance of the Dan God Secret Realm that you guessed about? But I did not receive that inheritance.”

His tone was challenging. He couldn’t understand why a Golden Core Uncle Master from the Liu Yun Sect would target him.

At this point, Master of Bi Hai showed a bright grin on his face. It seemed he was quite satisfied with Lin Yi admitting his identity and his astonishment at the idea of him assassinating Lin Yi.

Considering himself very low-profile in the Sect and generally trouble-free, he thought Lin Yi would have never guessed it would be him.
