Chapter 12795

The crowd was puzzled.

Lin Yi stood up and walked towards him, until he was only a step away: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Guichen's expression changed.

It wasn't because of Lin Yi's words, but rather that he took the opportunity to quietly steal the Vulture Demon's core.

He had done this kind of thing countless times on the front lines, so it was second nature to him.

However, for some reason, I couldn't find the magic pill no matter what I did today.

The Demon Core is the essence of evil. If the Demon Core leaves the body, the evil will surely die. There is no possibility of losing the Demon Core in advance.

But from the moment he arrived until now, he has always been the person closest to the vulture demon. Everyone else has only been watching from afar, without making any contact whatsoever, let alone being able to steal it away from under his nose without anyone noticing.

The next second, he watched as Lin Yi took something from thin air, and a magic pill appeared in his hand.

Demonic energy permeated the air.

"you!"

Xiao Guichen was furious and was about to turn hostile.

He was always treated leniently by others in the Demon Extermination Army; he had never been so easily snatched from the jaws of death before.

This is a king-level demon comparable to a three-zhang-tall Dharma form, and the quality of its demon core is comparable to all his previous stockpiles. This is intolerable!

However, he then saw another demonic pill in Lin Yi's hand.

Its size and condition are almost identical to the Vulture Demon's, except that its demonic energy is dim, indicating that it has been completely depleted.

Looking at the two demonic pills side by side, Xiao Guichen's mind went blank.

The next instant, his sudden action left everyone dumbfounded.

He suddenly stepped forward and reached out to snatch it.

"Give me!"

Unfortunately, due to Lin Yi's invisible aura, he was unable to get close even with his strength.

Xiao Guichen's face flushed red instantly, and he glared at Lin Yi: "That's mine!"

"yours?"

Lin Yi looked at him calmly, almost wanting to laugh.

It's normal for someone with a demonic eye to develop greed, but the other party's despicable behavior was still far beyond his expectations.

Xiao Guichen pointed at the corpse of the vulture demon, his eyes red, and said:

"We chased it for three days and three nights! My team suffered heavy casualties, and we finally managed to severely wound it. Now you're jumping out to steal our kills. Don't you think that's incredibly shameless?"

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.

They had seen everything clearly. Although the vulture demon did have signs of serious injury, everyone felt the terrifying power and tyranny of this demon.

This is definitely not a free kill.

To put it another way, if it really was a free kill, why didn't Xiao Guichen pick it up himself when he was the closest to him?

"Was it you who seriously injured it?"

Lin Yi's expression grew increasingly strange.

Regardless of Xiao Guichen's actual strength, his acting skills are quite good. If it weren't for the fact that he personally injured the Vulture Demon, one might actually have believed his nonsense.

Xiao Guichen was absolutely certain, filled with righteous indignation: "If it wasn't me, then it was you?"

Lin Yi chuckled and took out the demon core from the Tyrannosaurus Rex Demon: "And this one? Did I also get a bargain from you?"

"..."

Xiao Guichen was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to agree immediately, but judging from the looks in the eyes of the people around him, he knew that if he dared to say that, he would be drowned in spittle in no time.

There's no other reason than that it's a pure insult to everyone's intelligence.

Suppressing his irritation, Xiao Guichen couldn't help but ask, "How did you get it?"

Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile: "I just happened to find it."

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Xiao Guichen's mind was in chaos. The two demon pills were right in front of him. Even if he tried to deceive himself, he knew that this was not something he could just take for granted.

Whether he's in the right or not is secondary; the key issue is that he doesn't have the power!

If both king-level demons die at Lin Yi's hands, he will not only be unable to covet the demon pill, but even speaking loudly in front of Lin Yi will be a capital offense!

coincide!

Must be a coincidence!

He couldn't possibly be that strong; there must be another reason.

Lin Yi glanced at him and said calmly, "I respect the contributions of the Demon Extermination Army. Generations of them have guarded the border and fought bloody battles. Tianjun will never forget their merits."

"But what if someone instigates the Demon-Slaying Army to slack off and uses border security as a bargaining chip..."

He looked at Xiao Guichen and said, word by word, "I don't mind performing a family ritual for the Demon Extermination Army."

Their eyes met, and Xiao Guichen felt a sudden chill.

He had fought in the Demon Extermination Army for a hundred years and had seen countless powerful figures. To be honest, no one in Tianjun could put pressure on him.

But now, facing Lin Yi, he felt a deep-seated fear.

The key was the faint killing intent emanating from Lin Yi, which sent chills down his spine. If he hadn't been desperately trying to restrain himself, he would have already turned and run away.

Even the commander-in-chief, who was recognized as the pinnacle of combat power in the Demon Extermination Army, had never made him so nervous.

Xiao Guichen took a deep breath and said stiffly, "I've got your word in mind, but you'd better also remember that things about my Demon Extermination Army aren't so easy to understand."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, but stopped a few steps later.

"Furthermore, I will report today's events to the President truthfully."

Watching Xiao Guichen slink away, the remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although those harsh words at the end were somewhat embarrassing, the fact that the other party was the deputy commander of the Demon Extermination Army meant that the matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal.

"The matter of the Demon Extermination Army must be treated with utmost care."

Cao Mang walked to Lin Yi's side and whispered, "Xiao Guichen is extremely vengeful. He lost face today, so he definitely won't let it go. If we let him go back, he'll stir up trouble within the Demon-Slaying Army..."

Cao Mang made a downward cutting gesture: "Why don't we just detain him? He openly attacked the Heavenly Palace today, committing insubordination. If we lock him up for a while, no one will be able to say anything bad about him."

Lin Yi shook his head: "It's not proper to have a legitimate name or words."

If it were anyone else, detaining them would be perfectly reasonable. Not to mention detaining them, even beheading them as a warning to others wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, it concerns the authority of the new Heavenly Palace.

But the other party is a member of the Demon Extermination Army, and moreover, the deputy commander of the Demon Extermination Army, so things cannot be done this way.

To put it bluntly, this isn't about giving face to Xiao Guichen himself, but rather that the Demon-Slaying Army behind him has that kind of face.

If Lin Yi were merely a rogue cultivator with no intention of ruling Tianjun, then he wouldn't need to give face to the Demon Extermination Army at all.

But things are different now.

Tianjun has become his core base, and he must consider the overall situation when making any decision.

He is not himself; he is the Lord of Tianjun.

It's clear from everyone's reactions that these core members have feelings for the Demon Extermination Army.

If Lin Yi really wants to take action against the Demon-Slaying Army, he must first reach a consensus within the army.

Lin Yi said in a low voice, "The time isn't right yet."

Cao Mang's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled knowingly: "Your Excellency is wise."

Lin Yi glanced at him with amusement: "Are you trying to fool me like a tyrant?"

Cao Mang gave an awkward smile.

He looks rugged and bold, and as the leader of a powerful family, he is definitely a shrewd person among shrewd people. How could he not see this point?

He only had to make this statement because of his position.
