Faced with the sudden change, Feng Changge was panicked, but Lin Yu remained calm.
These things, though unexpected, are also quite reasonable.
The cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces had been incredibly arrogant before, which was naturally because they had something to rely on. Lin Yu originally thought that they relied on their own strength, plus the courage that came from bullying the weak with numbers.
Unexpectedly, the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces never intended to fight him and Fengchang Pavilion head-on from the very beginning.
"Your descendants are just too ridiculous." Lin Yu smiled helplessly and couldn't help but look up at the azure sky.
Lin Yu didn't say these words aloud, but silently asked the person who left behind countless rules for the Twelve True Palaces in his heart.
If he saw these guys had become such a worthless bunch, I wonder how angry he would be?
Their only reliance wasn't even their own strength, but rather these crooked and unorthodox methods.
" Lin Yu, don't you think this is strange?!" Feng Changge was still extremely panicked and had already retreated back to Lin Yu's side.
Normally, Feng Changge might not have paid much attention to these changes.
But the place he was in right now was the incredibly strange Netherworld Wonderland, where anything could happen, and a slight misstep could backfire.
Feng Changge was also worried that his hasty action might backfire, which was why he was at a loss.
"What's so strange about that? Don't let their arrogant words fool you; they still respect your status as an ancient phoenix clan. Even if they're not afraid of you, they'll still be somewhat afraid of the Phoenix True Fire," Lin Yu said calmly.
In the Dao Qi era, the Phoenix True Fire was the purest fire element in the entire fantasy world. Although other beings could also use fire elements, their purity was nowhere near that of the ancient Phoenix clan.
Therefore, the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces dared not confront Feng Changge head-on, and could only choose to use these underhanded methods to keep him here with two pages remaining.
"To be precise, those cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces never intended to fight us from the beginning; they just wanted to trap us here." Lin Yu surveyed the surroundings.
"If we can't find a way out of here, won't we be trapped here forever and have no choice but to compromise with them?!" Feng Changge suddenly realized.
"That's right. Even if they trap us here, they won't gain anything. As long as we return to the forest we just came out of, they will still be powerless." Lin Yu nodded and continued.
It's estimated that the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces were thinking that they could use such underhanded methods to keep Lin Yu and Feng Changge here, or more accurately, to trap them here.
If they can't find a way out, they'll be trapped here for life until they compromise their position.
"These guys just want to trap you and me, right? But what good will it do them if we're trapped here? They've been demanding we show some sincerity in exchange, but I wonder what they'll want in return to satisfy them!"
Feng Changge understood and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This time, Feng Changge came to the Twelve True Palaces empty-handed, just to help Feng Nianzhi find the century-old medicinal herbs as soon as possible and bring them back to save her life. He didn't think about anything else at all.
That's why Feng Changge was so puzzled. What could he possibly offer in exchange for what those guys wanted to trade with him?
However, Lin Yu was different. He carried a storage space with him, which contained all kinds of rare and precious materials. He even had a variety of magical artifacts. He was not on the same level as Lin Yu Changge at all.
Lin Yu's troubles were completely unknown to Feng Changge, so he never even considered this aspect of the situation.
"Besides, aren't those guys the richest people in the Twelve Palaces? Why are they so concerned about these petty gains?"
"Could it be that just because they see I'm from the ancient phoenix clan, they actually think I'd bring something really valuable?"
Feng Changge was filled with doubt, feeling increasingly confused the more he thought about it.
Seeing Feng Changge's serious expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
This brat, besides having a bad temper, has another big problem: he's incredibly naive!
However, this cannot be blamed on Fengchangge. After all, anyone who stayed in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea for hundreds of years without going out would also be completely ignorant of the outside world.
Lin Yu understood perfectly what the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces were thinking after a moment's thought.
Of course, the reason Lin Yu was able to understand so quickly was because the Hongmeng System had deduced something new.
"Those cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces didn't want money or anything; they just wanted a promise." To prevent Fengchang Pavilion from continuing to argue, Lin Yu had no choice but to speak up.
Lin Yu's explanation only made Feng Changge more puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask, "What promise?!"
"It's something unique to the Twelve True Palaces, similar to a life-or-death contract; once signed, it can never be changed."
"Don't let their swagger fool you; they couldn't have left the territory of the Twelve True Palaces even a step earlier."
Lin Yu calmly revealed the secret behind it.
"Unable to leave?!" Feng Changge was even more astonished and immediately asked, "Could it be that they, like our ancient phoenix clan, have some unspeakable secret? But... no! We entered this Twelve True Palaces land quite smoothly just now!"
For a moment, Feng Changge thought that the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces were like the ancient Phoenix Clan, unable to leave their territory for various reasons. However, in a short while, Feng Changge discovered the differences.
"You brat, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet." Looking at Feng Changge's impatient appearance, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.
"In fact, the land of the Twelve True Palaces is subject to a kind of restriction. No matter how arrogant the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces are, they can only be confined to the land of the Twelve True Palaces."
"Haven't you noticed that we rarely see any cultivators from the Twelve True Palaces outside?"
"Actually, it's not that there are few cultivators in the Twelve True Palaces; it's purely because that important figure restricted their movements. Even for the younger generation of the Twelve True Palaces, leaving their territory isn't an easy task."
"It's just a pity that resources here are limited compared to the outside world, which is why they fight like that," Lin Yu continued.
