In the previous altar fight, most of the human slaves who appeared to have died under Lin Yi were actually thrown into the void passage by him.
With Xiang Yusheng among them, the safety of this group of people is fully guaranteed.
Having personally experienced Lin Yi's power and experiencing a wave of resurrection from the dead in the blink of an eye, it is reasonable for these people to be grateful to Lin Yi.
After all, Lin Yi is their real savior.
If it weren't for Lin Yi's secret operation, not to mention that they would have no chance of walking out of the altar arena alive, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would have to bear the wrath of the challenger family, and they would still be dead.
.
Only Lin Yi can give them a chance to live.
Lin Yi didn't care much about this.
He himself is not a warm-hearted and good-hearted person who is willing to help others. It is just that the special environment of the Hundred Saints City made it impossible for him to stand by and watch these fellow humans who are slaves, so he took action.
As for whether these people were grateful to him, he didn't care and it wasn't important.
What Lin Yi is more curious about right now is Xiang Yusheng's motive for appearing here.
"From the look of senior, it seems like this is not the first time here?"
Xiang Yusheng was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a wry smile: "It's not the first time, this... is actually my birthplace."
As soon as these words came out, it was shocking.
Even Lin Yi couldn't help being shocked: "Senior is a local? How is this possible?"
For a moment, he even thought that the other party was the Baisheng City itself.
After all, there are only Skeleton Saints in this place, so why would a local suddenly appear?
According to what he learned from the strategist White Skeleton, although the Skeleton Saint Clan is very disdainful towards human slaves, they are always wary and do not allow close contact between human slaves at all, let alone the birth of children after union.
Xiang Yusheng glanced at him and said with some regret: "In most periods of time, the status of human beings here has been very humble, but in a special period, humans once briefly occupied a dominant position."
"In that special era, the original human slaves were in charge and trampled all the skeleton saints under their feet."
"And I was born during that period."
Lin Yi was stunned.
That period was a stain on the history of the Skull Saint Clan, and what has been handed down is almost a blank. Even the top executives of the Thirty-Six Family like White Skeleton know very little about it.
Xiang Yusheng continued: "During that brief period, this place could be regarded as a paradise without any competition from the world. However, the good times did not last long. Suddenly one day, the skeleton tribe and various corpse beasts came back, and our small number was simply unable to fight against it."
"The most important thing is that the strongest of us humans, the Lord of the Hundred Saints at that time, has disappeared."
"Under the chaos, most of the human cultivators became slaves again. Only a small number took advantage of the chaos to escape from the burial ground, and I was one of them."
Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Xiang Yusheng deeply: "I didn't expect that senior would have such a bizarre life experience."
As for humanity's failure, he was not surprised at all.
If Baisheng City was just a city, this place might really become a paradise, but unfortunately it is not.
To Baisheng City, human cultivators are like foreign germs. Being dominated by humans is equivalent to contracting a serious disease.
But as long as it is alive and as long as it has enough self-recovery ability, it will only be a matter of time before humanity is suppressed.
If humans can dominate for a long time, that is the real abnormality.
"Since you are a local, have you noticed anything strange about Baisheng City?"
Lin Yi asked tentatively.
"What's weird?"
Xiang Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Yi with a more probing look: "What aspect are you referring to?"
Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "For example, what are the saint ancestors mentioned by the skeletons?"
Xiang Yusheng said thoughtfully: "We really don't know much about this. The city lord also led people to carefully study the origin of the Hundred Saints City. It is certain that the burial ground was indeed a very important battlefield in ancient times.
, and indeed many saints died here.”
"However, no matter how we try, we have never really awakened the remaining thoughts of those saints."
"On the contrary, those skeletons often get responses from the saint's thoughts."
"In other words, compared to us human cultivators, the saint's thoughts favor those skeletons more."
"We are also puzzled by this."
Hearing this, Lin Yi understood.
The Skeleton Saints are the serious cells of the Hundred Saints City, and the Hundred Saints City responds to them in the form of saints' thoughts in order to maintain control over its own cells.
As for human cultivators, as foreign germs, their only thought is to destroy you, so how can they respond specifically to you?
After all, even if human cultivators briefly ruled the Hundred Saints City, just as a normal person would not go to great lengths to talk to the germs in his body, the Hundred Saints City would not take a serious look at the humans here.
Lin Yi turned to ask: "Then why does senior come here?"
Xiang Yusheng said bluntly: "In order to recover the bones of the city lord."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your city lord died here?"
Xiang Yusheng shook his head: "We can confirm that the city lord was indeed dead back then, but the specific place where he died is unknown. During the years outside, I have been reviewing the situation back then, and finally deduced the only possibility.
It’s at the bottom of the bone pool!”
Lin Yi was a little confused: "Is it important to recover the bones of the city lord?"
If the other party had some kind of close blood relationship with the city lord, it would be understandable to try every means to recover the bones and let his ancestors rest in peace.
But judging from Xiang Yusheng's tone, although he admired the city lord quite a bit, he didn't go that far.
It can be seen that this skeleton must not be simple.
Xiang Yusheng nodded: "You should have seen the tenth-level sacred bones, but have you heard of the eleventh-level sacred bones that break the rules?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be that the city lord has an eleventh-level sacred bone on his body?"
"I have no idea."
Xiang Yusheng's answer was ambiguous: "I was still young at the time, and I was far behind in terms of strength and level. I couldn't touch the core secrets of that level, but such folklore does circulate."
"It is said that the reason why the city lord was able to suppress all the skeletons and corpse beasts in one fell swoop was because he had an eleventh-level holy bone in his body and could naturally restrain them."
"If this legend is true, then this eleventh-level sacred bone is very important to us."
Lin Yi looked at him in surprise: "Senior, do you want to imitate that city lord and lead human cultivators to regain control of the Hundred Saints City?"
