Thinking of how the "Yan Ling" before her was indeed deeply connected to the War Palace, Fire Phoenix Woman's eyes flashed with hesitation. In the end, she chose not to attack.
The flames around her receded somewhat, though her tone remained cold. "You are not welcome here. The Ice Flame Emperor Fruit is about to mature, and this is a matter of great importance. I do not want someone of unknown origins stirring up trouble here. Leave as soon as possible."
Her words clearly carried the intent to drive him away. The Heavenly Palace Disciples behind her also chimed in, their gazes growing even more wary. They clearly wished Lin Yi would disappear immediately.
Lin Yi raised his brows, but his feet did not move in the slightest. He clearly had no intention of leaving.
In his view, Fire Phoenix Woman's identity was anything but ordinary. Even Emperor Zun Zhou Ran addressed her by name, and she could mobilize disciples from several Heavenly Palace divisions while controlling a Sequence Divine Beast incarnation. She had to be an important figure in the Heavenly Palace's inner circle, perhaps one who knew more secrets regarding the Ancient Palace, Ancient Method Artifact Forging, and even the Heavenly Palace itself.
Leaving now would be no different from missing an excellent chance to investigate.
What was more, Lin Yi also wanted to see how the people of the Heavenly Palace would use the mature Ice Flame Emperor Fruit to open the special Forbidden Land and obtain a Great Dao Technique.
After all, he possessed a similar Emperor Fruit in his future life as well.
"You are mistaken, Fairy." Lin Yi remained calm. His gaze swept across the defensive formation being reinforced below as he slowly said, "There is a problem with your formation."
"Hm?"
