Both of them fell silent.
This is what's truly baffling; at least logically, it doesn't make sense.
Just then, a lazy figure strolled to the doorway.
The old beggar appeared before Lin Yi after a long absence.
Lin Yi quickly got up to greet him.
Although his path to entering the Main God Academy was basically blocked because of Sikong Dao, and the relationship between the two sides had become strained, he still respected the old beggar quite a bit.
The old beggar didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down in the chair while drinking and munching on a sesame seed cake, and mumbled, "Your plan to enter the Main God Academy hasn't completely fallen through yet."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "But Sikong Dao..."
The old beggar shook his head: "Sikong Dao is Sikong Dao. The Main God Academy is so big, it's not up to him to make all the decisions."
Lin Yi was taken aback.
Given Sikong Dao's position in the Main God Academy, he was essentially the number two figure, and few could rival his influence and power of speech.
Under normal circumstances, if someone of this stature speaks out, it's basically a death sentence.
He had long since come to terms with reality.
The Academy of the Main Gods is certainly a rare option, but there's nothing we can do if we can't get in. The previous two rounds of special tests were just a waste of time.
The old beggar glanced at him and said meaningfully, "The higher-ups at the Main God Academy have a lot of disagreements about recruiting you. Although Sikong Dao is standing in the way, another group of higher-ups still believe that you are a rare talent. It would be a pity to give up on you like this."
Lin Yi looked at him strangely: "I actually have such face? I'm really flattered."
The old beggar laughed heartily: "Don't think too lowly of our Main God Academy. Everyone can tell who's good and who's bad."
"It's just that people have different opinions on some things."
"In short, I'm here to tell you that the higher-ups are still discussing it internally, and you still have a chance to enter the Academy of the Main God in the future."
"As for the pressure from Sikong Dao, you don't need to worry too much. Someone will take it on for you."
Lin Yi remained silent for a moment, then solemnly cupped his hands towards the old beggar: "Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."
Although the situation has come to this point, it is still uncertain whether he will join the Academy of the Main God, but he still has to accept the favor the other party has done.
The old beggar waved his hand, then changed the subject: "There's one more thing."
He gestured with his chin towards the files on the table: "The release of Xing Jun this time was most likely at the behest of Sikong Dao."
Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu were both startled: "What do you mean?"
The old beggar said slowly, "The newly appointed chief of the Academy of Sin Gods is a student of Sikong Dao, and he is also the one who strongly promoted the so-called criminal reform program."
With just this one sentence, all the clues were instantly connected.
Lin Yi suddenly understood: "So that means Sikong Dao deliberately released Xing Jun this time in order to disrupt Tianjun and prevent the upcoming battle for the main god's opportunity?"
The old beggar nodded: "That's roughly the gist of it."
Lin Yi frowned: "I can understand why he wants the God Academy to sever ties with the God of the Track, but is he willing to sacrifice my entire Tianjun for this purpose?"
"Where does he place the people of Tianjun? This involves tens of millions of lives!"
"Does he really not care at all?"
The old beggar said helplessly, "The higher the level, the thinner the humanity becomes. People at his level no longer care much about the lives of ordinary people."
The atmosphere at the scene became somber.
If it were just Xing Jun, although it was urgent, there would still be ways to deal with him.
But with Sikong Dao pulling the strings behind the scenes, things suddenly become much more complicated.
At that moment, a surge of energy suddenly rushed in from outside.
To be precise, it wasn't an aura or a pressure, but a pure and blatant malice!
Lin Yi suddenly looked up.
At this moment, the sky above Tianjun suddenly changed color. The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds, forming a huge black vortex.
At the center of the vortex, a pillar of heavenly power crashed down.
It lands precisely in the center of the new Tiangong Square.
Immediately afterwards, that extremely malevolent aura exploded from the center of the Heavenly Dao Pillar, transforming into a tangible shockwave that swept across a radius of a hundred miles.
The entire street and its houses were instantly overturned as if a hurricane had swept through.
Within the area, all cultivators and ordinary people were paralyzed on the ground, unable to lift their heads due to the pressure.
Everyone looked towards the center of the square in utter terror.
The Heavenly Pillar suddenly dissipated.
A mountain suddenly appeared in the center of the square.
To be precise, it was a figure as large as a mountain, bound by countless chains.
Each chain was as thick as an arm, densely wrapped around his body, from head to toe, layer upon layer.
The chains were too numerous and too dense to see the person's face clearly; only a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the chains.
But just the hint of ferocity emanating from those eyes was enough to make everyone present kneel down.
Even experts at the four-zhang Dharma Aspect level couldn't help but feel their knees go weak and be covered in cold sweat.
The oppressive feeling displayed in this scene alone is far more exaggerated than that of a magic god-level expert; they are not even in the same league.
"It's him?"
An elderly man's voice squeezed through the crowd, calling out the other person's name in terror: "Xing Jun!"
With just those two words, fear immediately spread among the people like a plague.
Any slightly older person, driven by instinct, frantically crawled backward in terror.
When Tianjun was ravaged and slaughtered by the other party, they were all young, and most of them watched helplessly as their relatives and friends died at the hands of this demon god.
Their survival was not due to their strength, but simply because they were lucky.
The figure before them was no longer a criminal in their eyes, but clearly a demon king!
News kept coming out in waves.
Not only at the scene, but the entire Tianjun County began to tremble.
Beside Xing Jun, a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of an elder of the Sin Theology Palace slowly walked out.
This person had a thin face, and his brows revealed a subtle air of superiority.
He observed the reactions of the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips, and announced to the public: "I am Fa Chen, an elder of the Sin God Academy. In accordance with the relevant regulations of my Sin God Academy, I hereby release the prisoner Xing Jun after he has served his full sentence and send him back to his place of origin."
He paused, then turned to the massive figure bound by chains, his tone even carrying an encouraging tone: "Xing Jun, I hope you will start anew in Tianjun, reform yourself, and not let down the many years of teachings I, the School of Sin Gods, have given you."
The whole scene was dead silent.
Everyone was stunned.
what's the situation?
The demon god who killed half of Tianjun has been released from prison?
Should we send him back to his hometown so he can start anew?
