"Besides, there's also Cao Luoshen, who has unlimited potential."
Zhang Baiyu never said anything insincere flattery. Although Cao Luoshen was far from mature, his potential was so great that even Zhang Baiyu admitted he couldn't match it.
Creating one's own great path in poetry and prose—this alone is enough to pave a limitless future for the artist.
Zhang Baiyu paused and said, "Even setting aside your personal relationship with them, if we really had to choose between the two, we should keep Cao Mang and abandon Longjue Peak!"
The other core members present all nodded in agreement.
In fact, they all knew Lin Yi's character very well; he was by no means the kind of cold-blooded tyrant who only cared about interests and had no feelings whatsoever.
Although those in positions of power should avoid acting on emotion, for these subordinates, following a warm-hearted master is a true blessing.
Lin Yi smirked: "Alright, I understand. Now think about how to resolve this."
"Now that I've unearthed Longjue Peak, there's no reason to leave it unattended. I must either incorporate it into my forces or eliminate it; we absolutely cannot let it become a future threat."
Zhang Baiyu and the others nodded solemnly: "That's for sure."
On the other side, at the Longjia Village private school.
Long Juefeng watched the children chasing and playing in the courtyard, while he calmly sipped his tea.
"Young Master, Lin Yi should have already received the news."
The old servant standing beside him bowed and reported in a low voice.
Long Juefeng gave a casual "hmm," not even bothering to lift his eyelids, as if Lin Yi's reaction was not worth his attention at all.
"Aren't your conditions a bit too harsh?"
The old servant carefully chose his words and said, "Cao Mang is, after all, the leader of a powerful family, and now he is Lin Yi's confidant. Asking him to kill Cao Mang with his own hands is tantamount to cutting off his own arm."
Long Juefeng smiled upon hearing this, his expression filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"harsh?"
He sat up straight, twirling the teacup in his palm: "When my mother was sentenced to death by Cao Mang, why did no one say it was harsh?"
The old servant dared not respond.
"I am now a master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Form."
Long Juefeng's voice turned cold: "In the entire Tianjun, apart from those few individuals, who is my match?"
"If Lin Yi wants to recruit me, he has to show sincerity."
"What's the big deal about killing Cao Mang?"
"If he can't even bear to part with this, then it means that in his eyes I'm not even as good as an obedient dog."
He paused, then leaned back on the soft couch, his tone returning to its languid state: "Besides, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on; it's not like he's the only option."
The old servant was stunned upon hearing this, his face filled with astonishment.
Given his master's strength, the only force in the entire Tianjun region qualified to recruit him is clearly Lin Yi's New Heavenly Palace!
Unless this force is not in Tianjun!
The old servant blurted out, "Young master, are you referring to the Beast God Academy?"
"Just wait and see."
Long Juefeng toyed with his teacup, saying, "Prices are always negotiated."
Just then, above the Tianwu Hall.
A beam of light from the racetrack suddenly descended without warning, landing precisely on Lin Yi's head.
Lin Yi's heart stirred, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Given the favor shown to him by his fellow townsmen in the secular world, it would be normal for them to let him participate in the track competition and obtain track rewards; it would be abnormal not to give him that opportunity.
The beam of light looked exactly the same as usual, without the slightest flaw.
However, Lin Yi only needed to use a wisp of the world's will to immediately see through the trickery involved.
But he did not stop him. Instead, he chuckled and let the pillar of light envelop and teleport him, while sending a message to Zhang Baiyu with his divine sense.
The next second, Lin Yi's figure disappeared into the beams of light on the track.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself inside a labyrinthine cage.
All around him were endless layers of secret realm barriers, with no exit in sight. It was obvious that someone had deliberately set a trap to trap him here!
Lin Yi chuckled lightly: "I've given you the chance, so don't fail to live up to it."
Meanwhile, the private school in Longjia Village.
The old servant hurried to Long Juefeng's side, his expression urgent: "Young Master, the Beast God Academy has already begun its operation!"
"They acted quite quickly."
Long Juefeng smiled and said, "It seems that this card of mine is more valuable than I thought."
The old servant stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"Say what you want to say."
Long Juefeng was in a good mood, and his tone softened somewhat.
“Young Master, the Beast God Academy, represented by Yuan Chu, is, after all, an external force, and is at odds with Lin Yi.”
The old servant cautiously advised, "Wouldn't cooperating with them be like inviting wolves into your house, ultimately bringing trouble upon yourself?"
Long Juefeng glanced at him, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Wolf? Who isn't a wolf in this world? Do you really think that Lin Yi is some kind of pushover?"
He slowly stood up, his gaze falling on the courtyard downstairs, watching the children playing the game of "eagle catching chicks," his expression revealing a complex emotion.
"What I want is very simple."
Long Juefeng said softly, "Take revenge, and then get what I deserve. Whoever can give it to me, I will cooperate with."
"As for letting the wolf into the house..."
He smiled, a smile tinged with cold calculation: "When the wolf comes, it's not certain who the prey will be."
On the other side, inside the main hall of the New Heavenly Palace.
As usual, Cao Mang managed all the affairs of Tianjun for Lin Yi, reviewing various tedious official documents with a serious expression.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis surged up.
Cao Mang suddenly looked up and saw that the light in the hall was strangely distorted, and the surrounding walls were like ink soaked in water, beginning to melt and flow.
"Illusion?"
Cao Mang immediately stood up, and his five-zhang-tall Dharma Image was summoned. His aura exploded, and he warily stared at his surroundings.
But it was too late.
Four dark figures darted out from the distorted light and shadow like ghosts, their movements so fast that they left only afterimages, giving Cao Mang no time to react.
Cao Mang only had time to gather his strength and unleash a punch to force back one of his men before he was suddenly enveloped by a large, dark net.
The large net was covered with barbs, the tips of which gleamed with an eerie dark green light.
It was clearly poisoned!
The moment the five-zhang-tall Dharma form came into contact with the large net, it was suppressed by this strange poison, and its light quickly dimmed.
Cao Mang's internal strength was also rapidly drained away like a flood, and in the blink of an eye, he was weak and sore all over.
Cao Mang was naturally unwilling to fall, and with his last bit of strength, he tried to struggle and break free from this poisonous net.
As a result, he was suddenly struck hard on the back of the neck, the force of which made his vision go black.
Before his vision completely disappeared into darkness, he clearly heard a hoarse voice.
"Target acquired, evacuate immediately!"
At the summit of Longshan Mountain.
Long Juefeng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. He could see the entire Longjia Village from above, and at the end of his line of sight was the direction of the New Heavenly Palace.
"Trap Lin Yi, kidnap Cao Mang, and then let me take my revenge..."
Long Juefeng repeated the plan that Yuan Chu had conveyed to him in a low voice.
It sounded perfect, but he always felt something was off.
Lin Yi is also a master of the three-zhang Dharma Aspect, with unfathomable strength. Last time, the Beast God Academy sent a master of the two-zhang Dharma Aspect like Deng Shentong, and he died on the spot.
Having suffered such a huge loss, how could they possibly send someone else so easily this time?
