Chapter 12938
Chapter 12938
She faced enormous risks and was forced to confront the condemnation of everyone, while Lin Yi easily swept away her spoils!
What a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Elder Yuehua gritted her teeth, pointed at Lin Yi's nose, and said sternly, "This is all your doing! You have to give me an explanation, or you won't get away with this today!"
Lin Yi looked at her innocently: "Elder Yuehua, I don't understand what you're saying."
"You're the one who designed this scheme that tricked everyone and me. If anyone needs to give an explanation, it should be you who gives an explanation to everyone."
"How can you put all the blame on me?"
At this moment, the elder of the Thunder God Academy said impatiently, "What Lin Yi did is none of my business, and I have no mood to care right now."
"But you, Elder Yuehua, just admitted that all of this was your scheme. How do you plan to explain this to me?"
The other representatives of various forces immediately echoed this sentiment.
At this moment, their primary demand is to recover their losses.
Blaming Lin Yi is pointless; Elder Yuehua is the one they should be looking for.
Quietly, everyone had completed the encirclement, blocking every exit and giving no chance to escape.
"..."
Elder Yuehua's heart sank upon seeing this.
With her strength, it would be impossible for her to break through the encirclement of so many powerful figures in a short time, unless she could divert their attention to Lin Yi.
However, given the current situation, this is clearly no longer realistic.
In a moment of panic, Elder Yuehua suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly said, "I know what happened! It was him who did it!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Yi.
Everyone frowned.
The elder of the Thunder God Academy crackled with lightning, his killing intent palpable: "If you can't come up with anything new and continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Elder Yuehua's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. At the beginning of this auction, it was indeed my conspiracy with him to swindle everyone, but from beginning to end, I was the one being used by him!"
The crowd scoffed: "He's using you? You think we'll believe you with your foul mouth? You think we're fools?"
Elder Yuehua hurriedly said, "The chips that everyone put up for bidding were indeed in my possession at first. I was blinded by greed, and I admit that. I sincerely apologize to everyone."
"But now, all of these things have vanished."
"There is only one person in the world who can do this!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this: "The person Elder Yuehua is talking about, could it be me?"
Everyone couldn't help but scoff.
Even if they think highly of Lin Yi, they wouldn't elevate him to this position.
Elder Yuehua sneered, "That person is naturally not you. There is only one person in the world who can steal so many things from under my nose without anyone noticing, and that is the God of Thieves!"
Everyone looked at each other.
The elder of the Thunder God Academy said with a dark face, "You woman are really good at making trouble. You've even dragged the God of Thieves into this. Are you trying to muddy the waters and then get away with it?"
The reputation of the God of Thieves is not good, but he is still a legitimate god.
Once the God of Thieves himself is involved, even if so many forces want to exert pressure, it won't be an easy task.
Moreover, the God of Thieves is notorious among all the gods for his lack of integrity; once something enters his mouth, there is absolutely no chance of him spitting it out.
If things develop to that point, the most likely outcome for each of them is to suffer in silence.
Elder Yuehua cried out in despair, "I really didn't lie to you! This must have been done by the God of Thieves!"
One of the faction representatives sneered, "We have no doubt that the God of Thieves has the means, but you have to explain to us why he would get involved?"
"Exactly, the God of Thieves may be shameless, but he's still a legitimate god, so he still has some dignity."
"What we have today might not even be of any interest to him!"
Several people nearby nodded in agreement.
Elder Yuehua pointed at Lin Yi and said with certainty, "The God of Thieves made a promise to him, agreeing to help him steal something. I heard this with my own ears, and I can swear to the heavens!"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
He thought that after the God of Thieves' divine thought descended, Elder Yuehua had completely lost consciousness and was completely unaware of what had happened.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that she has some unexpected methods, considering she is, after all, an elder of the Goddess Academy.
A bolt of lightning immediately transformed into a cage, trapping Lin Yi's body.
Is that so?
The elder of the Thunder God Academy spoke slowly: "Lin Yi, my patience has completely run out. You'd better answer me honestly, or your life may be in danger."
The others also looked unfriendly.
They need to think twice before dealing with Elder Yuehua, since she is, after all, a legitimate elder of the Goddess Academy. If they really make a move, how they will face the Goddess Academy is still a problem.
But Lin Yi is different; he has no powerful connections or background.
If the crowd really wanted to take action, they would kill without hesitation.
"How dare you! You old fool, you dare to disrespect my master! You're asking for death!"
Zhou Yuan, the Movie Emperor, and Gu Tianque appeared at the same time, and their three tangible killing intents immediately locked onto the elder of the Thunder God Academy.
Sensing the powerful aura of the three, everyone present was startled.
The intensity of this aura clearly surpasses that of a magic god!
There are actually experts of this caliber in Tianjun, and more than one of them!
This was completely beyond their comprehension.
In an instant, some people who were just itching to make a move against Lin Yi immediately withdrew their thoughts.
Ultimately, although these representatives of so many forces stand together, they are not truly one family, and many of them even have long-standing grudges against each other.
If Lin Yi were just a soft piece of tofu that they could manipulate at will, that would be fine.
If they encounter a tough opponent, they're bound to break their teeth if they bite down rashly, and they might even be taken advantage of by their rivals. They have to be careful.
Only the elder of the Thunder God Academy, facing the encirclement of Zhou Yuan and the other two, did not even blink.
Although Zhou Yuan and his two companions were not weak, they were not considered a threat in his eyes.
The next second, Lin Yi completely ignored his lightning tribulation cage and walked out as if no one else was there, without being affected in the slightest.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "No matter what happens today, you are all guests to me. Unless absolutely necessary, it is best not to fight or kill each other, so as not to damage our harmony."
"Elder Lei, what do you say?" (End of Chapter)
