King Li Jin gave his final instructions: "As I said before, quickly raise the overall combat strength of Tianjun to one thousand, and I will get you a two-zhang Dharma Aspect quota as soon as possible."
"A master of the two-zhang Dharma form, while not outstanding in the Divine Assembly Competition, would still be able to put up a fight."
"Of course, the key still depends on your authority, brother."
His words still carried a hint of probing.
It's impossible for anyone not to be curious about Lin Yi's status and his possession of core authority.
At this moment, Li Jinwang even secretly suspected that Lin Yi might be a descendant of a top family who had been left behind.
Otherwise, why would they have such authority?
In fact, he had carefully studied Lin Yi's rise to power.
At first glance, he does seem to be just an ordinary, unaffiliated cultivator, but the way he seems to have divine assistance makes it impossible for him to believe that there's nothing behind his back.
Only a fool would believe that Lin Yi is a completely ordinary person with no background.
Back to Tianjun.
Lin Yi reopened the Tianjun map, took out a specially made jade talisman and integrated it, which was the location lock device that Li Jinwang had just given him.
Although the map can use light beams to indicate the number of experts in a region, it cannot pinpoint their exact location; it only shows a blurry area.
Lin Yi had already instructed Zhang Baiyu to send people to thoroughly investigate these reclusive masters, but they couldn't find even the slightest trace of them.
Once you reach the level of a four-zhang Dharma form, if you truly want to remain hidden, no one can find you, let alone a stronger three-zhang Dharma form master.
But now with this location lock, you can pinpoint the exact location of an expert, accurate enough to within a one-kilometer radius!
Once within this range, with Lin Yi's spiritual sense strength, finding even the most deeply hidden experts would be more than enough.
If all else fails, we can invoke the will of the world.
He wouldn't have brought out such a valuable item so easily if it weren't for the strategic alliance he formed with Li Jinwang this time.
Even if you do take it, you have to dawdle like squeezing toothpaste.
Lin Yi stared at the map and grinned: "Let's start by taking down these three-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect experts!"
Besides relying on the new Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Martial Hall to build a core base, the most effective way to enhance the overall combat strength of Tianjun is to recruit these top combat forces.
The entire picture contains five masters with the appearance of a three-zhang-tall Dharma image.
Besides Lin Yi himself, the other person on Shen Mo's side, unsurprisingly, was none other than the extremely hidden Emperor Jiyi, Di Qingfan.
Another person in the Yuan family is Hua Chengying, who is in cahoots with Yuan Chu.
These two were already under Lin Yi's surveillance.
There are two left.
One of them is in Longjia Village, which is 30 miles away.
Without a word, Lin Yi quietly arrived in Longjia Village.
The village has over a thousand residents, each with their own duties, and at least on the surface, everything appears normal.
Lin Yi scanned the entire village with his divine sense, but couldn't detect even the slightest trace of a master.
If it weren't clearly marked on the Tianjun map, even if you walked through the middle of the village, you would never notice anything unusual.
Lin Yi immediately used the world's will to finally lock onto the target.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "Long Juefeng, the private school teacher of Long Family Village?"
This man was usually a proud and aloof schoolteacher, and at this moment he was sitting at the entrance of the private school, watching the children playing in the courtyard.
Despite the gentle spring breeze, there was a hint of aloofness in her eyes that kept people at arm's length.
This person's stealth skills are indeed top-notch, but once his gaze is locked on, the pride inherent in a top expert cannot be hidden.
Even if he tries to act down-to-earth, he can't hide his condescending arrogance.
Lin Yi did not show himself directly.
Back at Tianwu Hall, Lin Yi immediately summoned Lü Bukui: "Long Juefeng of Longjia Village is a master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect. Go and invite him for me. Also, immediately send someone to investigate his background."
"A master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Form?"
Lu Bukui was startled.
Previously in this Heavenly Prefecture, a five-zhang Dharma Form was considered top-tier, and a four-zhang Dharma Form was rarely seen. Now, a three-zhang Dharma Form expert appears all the time.
All I can say is that times have truly changed.
Lu Bukui left quickly and returned even faster, his face long and his expression extremely unpleasant.
Lin Yi asked in surprise, "What?"
Lu Bukui reported with a dark face: "Sir, Long Juefeng said that you must personally go to invite him. Once is not enough. At least three times are needed to show sincerity!"
Zhang Baiyu and several other core members gathered to the side, and their expressions immediately changed.
This is way too big!
While a three-zhang Dharma Aspect expert is indeed precious, with Lin Yi's current power, even a two-zhang Dharma Aspect expert sent by the Beast God Academy met a violent end.
Who does Long Juefeng think he is, daring to put on airs like that?
They think too highly of themselves!
Lin Yi waved his hand and casually said, "If you just want face, I can give it to you. After all, a master of the three-zhang Dharma Aspect is still rare."
While he didn't do much in terms of showing respect and humility, he wasn't entirely incapable of it either.
Lu Bukui's face remained grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, he has a second condition."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "What are the conditions?"
After hesitating for a long time, Lü Bukui whispered, "He wants you... to kill Cao Mang with your own hands!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
Although Cao Mang's strength was not top-notch, he was the leader of a powerful family who firmly supported Lin Yi, and his influence was enormous. His position as the executive deputy governor of Tianjun was not just for show!
Lin Yi's eyes turned cold: "What reason?"
Lu Bukui quickly replied, "He said the hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable!"
"The hatred for killing your mother?"
Lin Yi turned to look at Zhang Baiyu.
Zhang Baiyu nodded and said, "I was just about to report this to you. Back then, Long Juefeng's mother committed adultery and conspired with her lover to kill thirteen members of his father's family!"
"This incident caused a sensation back then. According to the law, he should have been punished severely. However, his mother's lover had a powerful family background, and after some maneuvering, he was spared the death penalty and was released quietly after the storm had passed."
"Later, the Cao family head came across this and insisted that the adulterous couple must pay with their lives. He personally beheaded the two, leaving only Long Juefeng as an orphan who survived thanks to the village's relief efforts."
"It seems he has placed all the blame on the head of the Cao family."
Lin Yi frowned, his tone tinged with confusion: "Even so, shouldn't he hate his mother? Wasn't his own father killed by his mother?"
"The most difficult thing to calculate in the world is the human heart."
Zhang Baiyu sighed softly and said, "Perhaps in Long Juefeng's heart, his mother still has some affection for him, and that hatred has been transferred to the Cao family head who enforces the law."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment: "What do you think?"
Zhang Baiyu spoke frankly: "Long Juefeng is a master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect. In the entire Tianjun region, there are no more than three people who can reliably defeat him. We should keep him and make use of him."
Before anyone could object, he changed the subject again: "But the conditions he proposed must never be agreed to!"
"Although Patriarch Cao's strength is far inferior to his, not to mention his influence among the aristocratic families, his loyalty to the master and his willingness to work hard without complaint are far superior to those arrogant people who are waiting for a better price."
