Chapter 12804
There was an uproar.
The veteran continued to point out: "He not only targeted us, but also the Grand Commander. He wanted to destroy our Demon Extermination Army!"
The other remaining soldiers knelt down and joined in pointing out Lin Yi.
"That's right! He's the one who sacrificed us to the demons!"
"He wants to harm the Grand Commander! He wants to seize power from the Demon-Slaying Army!"
“We saw with our own eyes that he colluded with evil spirits!”
Cries and screams rose and fell, and people kowtowed repeatedly.
Lin Yi frowned slightly.
To be honest, this scene really caught him off guard.
They were so certain before that Shen Wudu had colluded with evil spirits to harm them, so why are they suddenly turning their anger towards them?
The entire Demon-Slaying Army immediately flew into a rage, drawing their swords and pointing them at Lin Yi with righteous indignation.
"As expected! None of the high-ranking officials in Tianjun are any good!"
"Want to mess with the President? First, ask the swords in our hands!"
"Kill him! Avenge Vice Commander Xiao!"
"Kill him!"
Driven by rage, even with the deterrent effect of 150 king-level demon corpses, the situation was becoming difficult to control, and some people couldn't help but want to attack Lin Yi.
Even though there is a huge gap in individual strength, this is not a mob, but a truly powerful army that has been through countless battles!
Once their fighting spirit is ignited, no one can make them bow down.
Shen Wudu raised his hand in a gesture of suppression, and the entire audience immediately fell silent. But the more he did so, the more his anger surged.
Shen Wudu coldly looked at Lin Yi: "So this isn't your first time here, sir. You attacked Deputy Commander Xiao because he caught you in your dirty dealings?"
The members of the Demon Extermination Army wholeheartedly agreed.
Logically, at least, it sounds reasonable.
As for their motives, the higher-ups in Tianjun have been dissatisfied with their Demon-Slaying Army for quite some time, but because of Shen Wudu's existence, those aristocratic lords cannot easily get their hands on it.
To control them, collude with evil spirits to weaken them, and then try to kill Shen Wudu—everything sounds so perfectly logical.
It perfectly fits the conspiracy theory.
"I didn't realize you were so good at making up stories."
Despite his surprise, Lin Yi remained calm and quickly reviewed the entire process in his mind.
From the time these remnants of the army were discovered until now, he was only briefly out of sight when he was fighting against the King-level demon.
The first twenty king-level demons weren't too bad, but dealing with the more than one hundred that appeared later took some effort, since they were king-level demons after all.
Could it be that something was tampered with back then?
Or was it a scheme they orchestrated specifically for themselves from the very beginning?
Lin Yi secretly pondered that the latter possibility was unlikely.
When the remnants accused Shen Wudu to him, the hatred in their eyes didn't seem fake.
It was a deep-seated hatred, one that couldn't be faked.
The key is the other party's motive for orchestrating this.
Just to prevent the Demon Exorcism Army from turning against him?
Lin Yi was puzzled. He looked at the kneeling veteran, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "You said I sacrificed you? When? Where? What evidence do you have?"
A flicker of confusion crossed the veteran's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by obsession. He hissed, "Just now! You lured over a hundred king-level demons, intending to use them as pawns to kill us!"
Lin Yi laughed: "If I wanted to kill you, it would be as simple as a slap. Why would I need over a hundred King-level demons? Who do you think you are?"
"..."
The veteran opened his mouth, but immediately choked.
Even the Demon-Slaying Army members, who were already caught up in the moment, were collectively speechless.
One hundred and fifty king-level demons to deal with thirty-six defenseless cripples—only a fool would believe that.
More likely, even a fool wouldn't believe it.
After all, even fools have their own logic.
If they deliberately set a trap to wipe out their entire Demon-Slaying Army, there might be a chance.
Lin Yi continued calmly, "As for the other one, even if it's truly overkill, since I've decided to use someone else to do my dirty work, why would I save you?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Demon Extermination Army looked at each other in bewilderment.
The loopholes are too big; it simply doesn't make sense.
Even if they naturally distrust the higher-ups of Tianjun, even if they are angry and follow Shen Wudu's line of thinking from the start, they should still be able to make sense of this most basic logical link.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to convince themselves.
Lin Yi turned to Shen Wudu: "Commander Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Wudu's face darkened, and he said coldly, "I believe in my brothers. They wouldn't accuse you without reason. My Demon-Slaying Army consists of loyal and courageous men who would never do anything to smear someone's name!"
Several deputy commanders nearby immediately echoed his sentiments.
"That's right! Lin Yi is the thief crying 'stop thief!'"
"He deliberately orchestrated this whole thing to frame himself, creating a bunch of foolish flaws in an attempt to outwit himself and clear his name. Does he think we're idiots?"
"Besides, he can kill over a hundred king-level demons by himself? How is that possible? Only a fool would believe that!"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Demon Extermination Army soldiers turned fierce again.
Yes, over a hundred king-level demons, killed by one person?
You're kidding me!
On one side are the cunning high-ranking officials of Tianjun, and on the other are brothers who have risked their lives together. There is no need to hesitate about who to trust.
Lin Yi looked at this scene and suddenly smiled.
He got it.
This is the effect Shen Wudu wanted.
This is not Tianjun; this is the front line of the battlefield.
In places like this, elaborate schemes and traps don't need to be meticulously planned; as long as emotions run high, nothing else matters.
As for what happened afterward, countless conspiracy theories naturally emerged, patching up all the logical loopholes.
The other party's intention was clear: if he dared to fight the Demon Extermination Army, he would lose.
Not taking action is a loss, but taking action is an even greater loss.
It's a completely unsolvable dead end!
Lin Yi didn't speak.
He simply took out the demon pill from his bosom.
There were a total of 150, all from King-level demons, lined up in a row.
The entire audience gasped in shock.
On the front lines of the battlefield, there is no shortage of magic pills; you can easily collect a whole basketful after just one battle.
But that was just an ordinary magic pill.
These are demon cores from king-level demons, their quality is completely different from the others, each one a rare treasure.
One hundred and fifty of them were laid out together, creating a truly stunning scene.
It was only because the corpses of these king-level demons on the scene were too horrifying, coupled with the strict discipline of the Demon-Slaying Army, that the entire scene would have already erupted in chaos.
A strange light flashed in Shen Wudu's eyes.
He naturally wanted these demon pills as well. With his strength and the achievements of the entire Demon Extermination Army, his inventory over the decades couldn't compare to this row in front of him.
If Lin Yi dies today, these will naturally be his spoils of war.
However, he still wanted to see what Lin Yi was really up to.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Lin Yi infused the power of his Dharma form into a group of demonic cores.
The next second, phantom images began to appear above the Demon Core.
