Lin Yi frowned: "If that's the case, then my chances of getting the first-zhang Dharma Aspect spot are really slim?"
If the other party is simply experiencing a procedural delay, then at least there is still room for maneuver; it will only take a little longer.
A good meal is not afraid of being late.
But now that Huan Yin has his eye on him, it will be really difficult for him to get his hands on this rice bowl again.
Li Jinwang comforted you, saying, "You don't need to be too pessimistic. You still have the baptism quota I gave you to protect you. In that sense, it's not so easy for them to forcibly take away what belongs to you."
That's the truth. If Lin Yi hadn't had that baptismal halo, people wouldn't have needed to go through such complicated procedures at all. They could have just snatched it without any reasoning whatsoever.
Lin Yi paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "So how do we break this deadlock?"
King Li Jin sighed: "I could have handled this matter myself, but I'm too much of a target now. If I make any move, the Huan family will immediately target me, which will only cause more trouble."
"The only thing I can do now is to create some commotion to help you attract the Huan family's attention."
"The real turning point for this spot still depends on your own efforts."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "I'll fight for it myself? How can I fight for it?"
As the ruler of Tianjun, he does have a home-field advantage in this small territory, but the Xuanwu Divine Society is far away in the open area of the Divine Realm, beyond his reach.
The only forces Lin Yi could mobilize were Li Jinwang and Xu Longyin.
Li Jinwang was too conspicuous and was being watched closely, and Xu Longyin was in no better shape, unable to exert any effort no matter how hard he tried.
Li Jinwang pointed out, "Our Xuanwu Divine Society has an internal monitoring system, which is mainly responsible for monitoring the transfer of important positions."
"In the current Xuanwu Divine Society, if there is anyone that the Huan family fears the most, it is this highly independent supervisory department."
"If we can find the irregularities in the Huan family's procedures and get these supervisory departments involved, even the Huan family will have to back down."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
An organization as powerful as the Xuanwu Divine Society naturally has a strict internal monitoring system to prevent it from becoming an uncontrollable entity with absolute dominance.
Xu Longyin, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "I've been in the Xuanwu Divine Society for so long, but I've only heard of the supervisory department and have never actually dealt with it. It seems to have a weak presence."
"Since the Huan family can control and win over other departments, why don't they control this supervisory department as well?"
Prince Li Jin glanced at him with amusement: "If that were the case, wouldn't the Huan family really have absolute power? What is he planning to do?"
"What will the leaders at the Divine Realm headquarters think of a branch in the open zone of the Divine Realm being turned into this?"
"To put it more seriously, what would the Creator God think?"
"Could it be that the Huan family really intends to amass military power and even overthrow the dynasty?"
Xu Longyin suddenly realized what he meant.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
To put it bluntly, the Huan family's dominance in the Xuanwu Divine Society is limited to the open area of the Divine Realm.
As long as the higher-ups receive enough benefits, they can turn a blind eye and let the Huan family act as the local bullies.
But the supervisory department is the bottom line.
If the Xuanwu Divine Society in the Divine Realm Open Zone is truly managed into an unbreakable unit and crosses this bottom line, then the Huan family's good days will truly be over.
The Huan family isn't incapable of controlling the oversight department; rather, they choose not to take that step in order to protect themselves.
Regardless of whether a true check and balance can actually be achieved, at least on the surface, it is still necessary to reassure the leaders of the Divine Realm headquarters.
Lin Yi pondered: "Even if the Huan family doesn't take this step, they will definitely not let the supervisory department become a real obstacle to him and sabotage his plans. They will try their best to marginalize it."
Li Jinwang nodded: "That's right, so the supervisory department here really doesn't have much of a presence, but not having a presence doesn't mean it can't do its job."
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he said meaningfully, "Brother Li, have you perhaps already joined forces with the supervisory department?"
As marginalized figures, Li Jinwang, given his current situation, is naturally an ally of these people in the supervisory department.
Li Jinwang waved his hand: "I would like to, but unfortunately they don't think much of me."
Lin Yi frowned: "So, what does Brother Li mean?"
Li Jinwang laughed and said, "What I mean is that this supervisory department can be used as a weapon against the Huan family; the key is how you use it."
He handed him a piece of paper.
Lin Yi glanced at it; it was a person's file.
Han Zhao.
Li Jinwang said meaningfully, "This person is an inspector specially sent to Tianjun by the supervisory department."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "You came here specifically to keep an eye on me?"
Li Jinwang laughed and said, "In just a few months, you have gone from a four-zhang Dharma form to a two-zhang Dharma form, and have taken three Dharma form slots. This is a rare case in the Xuanwu Divine Society. The supervisory department will naturally investigate this case carefully."
Lin Yi rubbed his chin: "So, Brother Li, you mean I should start with this person?"
"of course."
Li Jinwang nodded and said, "Although he is here to keep an eye on you, as long as there are no substantial problems with your procedures, he is a card for you, a good card to protect your own interests."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Getting him to stand up for me won't be that easy, will it?"
Even though the supervisory department and the Huan family are not on good terms, given their current situation, they may not be willing to confront the Huan family directly.
Moreover, Han Zhao is merely a low-level inspector dispatched to another region, and cannot represent the will of the entire supervisory department at all.
In the face of the Huan family, he was an insignificant little man.
Regardless of whether he is willing to stand up for himself, even if he has the courage to do so, it is uncertain how much weight his words will carry.
Li Jinwang said in a low voice, "Whether this card will have an effect or not, it's useless to just think about it on your head. You have to play it first."
Lin Yi wholeheartedly agreed: "That's true."
As the two were talking, Li Jinwang suddenly raised an eyebrow and gave a strange look: "You've already made contact with this Han Zhao?"
"what?"
Lin Yi looked bewildered: "This is the first time I've heard this name from you."
Although Tianjun is his home turf and he has now subdued various forces, he has only been operating for a short time and is far from being completely impenetrable.
If the other party hadn't reminded him, Lin Yi would never have realized that such a person was lurking in Tianjun.
Li Jinwang said with a strange expression, "I just received news that Han Zhao has publicly impeached the Huan family by his real name, deliberately making things difficult for you regarding the one-zhang-long Dharma Image quota, plotting something sinister."
"So tough?"
Even Lin Yi was surprised this time.
Even someone as skilled in political maneuvering as Li Jinwang was completely subdued by the Huan family. So where did a low-level inspector get the confidence to impeach the Huan family head-on?
