"No problem."
Hua Chengying agreed very readily.
Although he and Yuan Chu weren't exactly close, Lin Yi was their common enemy, so he wouldn't be so wishy-washy about such matters.
Tianwu Hall.
Lin Yi was studying the newly acquired Class C track access when a flash of inspiration appeared at his fingertips, and suddenly his expression hardened.
There was an extremely subtle cross-dimensional energy fluctuation that vanished in an instant.
If it weren't for the monitoring of the world's will, even he would have had difficulty detecting it.
Lin Yi immediately realized: "It's coming soon?"
Zhang Baiyu stood aside and analyzed in a deep voice: "If the Beast God Academy wants to establish its prestige, sending experts over is the most direct way. However, breaking through the Heavenly County's restrictions is not an easy task. The opponent's limit is only a two-zhang Dharma Aspect expert."
"Even a master of the two-zhang Dharma Aspect cannot break through the restrictions and descend through normal means, unless they use the power of the track."
Lin Yi wholeheartedly agreed: "Isn't this perfect? There are experts with track access right over there."
The two were talking.
Yuan Chu's figure suddenly appeared in Tianwu Hall Square, and his voice immediately spread throughout the entire area.
"Lin Yi, listen up! In three days, a two-zhang Dharma Aspect expert from my Beast God Academy will enter the realm. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and surrender in advance."
"Otherwise, I will let everyone witness firsthand what an insurmountable gap in realm truly is!"
A collective gasp immediately filled the room.
At the Dharma Aspect level, the hierarchy is extremely rigid, and the possibility of challenging someone of a higher level has long been completely eliminated.
As a master of the three-zhang Dharma form, Lin Yi could easily crush any four-zhang Dharma form.
Similarly, if someone were to enter the realm of a two-zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) Dharma Master, there would be no doubt that they would crush his three-zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) Dharma Master!
This is a perception ingrained in everyone's bones.
After a moment of deathly silence, a cacophony of voices erupted from all sides.
"A master of the Two-Zhang Dharma Aspect? Really?"
"Does the Beast God Academy truly have a master with a Dharma Aspect of Two Zhang?"
"Nonsense, the Beast God Academy certainly has experts like this, and there are many stronger than him. The key is how he will break through the restrictions and descend!"
"If they really come, won't Lord Lin Yi be doomed?"
"How can a three-zhang (approximately 10 meters) Dharma form defeat a two-zhang (approximately 6 meters) Dharma form?"
"Oh no, we placed our bets too early..."
The various factions wavered again, but having learned from their previous repeated shifts in all directions, no one dared to take sides rashly, and everyone remained still.
The meaning is obvious: they intend to let things play out for a while, assess the situation, and then make a decision.
Even so, some underhanded tactics are always inevitable.
As Lin Yi listened to the reports from all sides compiled by his subordinates, unsurprisingly, they were all unfavorable to him.
Lin Yi showed no anger whatsoever, instead chuckled lightly: "Not bad, at least they're not a bunch of stupid fish with only seven seconds of memory."
What truly brings him joy is his core team.
The entire process was as steady as a mountain, without any fluctuations.
Lin Yi chuckled: "Yuan Chu's act is probably going to be a disaster."
He saw through it all; Yuan Chu's grandstanding was not merely aimed at eliminating him.
Whether it was Sun Bulu before or the current master of the Two-Zhang Dharma Aspect, Yuan Chu wanted to use the power of the Beast God Academy to establish his own authority.
After eliminating him, we will take over Tianjun's base of operations.
Zhang Baiyu, standing to the side, calmly said, "Yuan Chu will definitely take this opportunity to poach our talent, and he will most likely come to me first."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean? You look like someone who would betray you?"
"This has nothing to do with loyalty, it's all about profit and loss."
Zhang Baiyu said calmly, "I have always been rational. In the face of an absolute difference in strength, if I have no chance of winning, I will not make a futile struggle. That should be what he was thinking."
Lin Yi turned to look at him, a playful smile on his face: "Then I'll wait and see what you choose next."
He said it like that, but he was actually absolutely certain.
If Zhang Baiyu were truly going to betray us, he would have done so last time, when the opportunity was far better than it is now.
As they were talking, Lin Yi suddenly received a message.
Xu Longyin from the Divine Realm Open Zone.
As soon as Lin Yi had a thought, the message entered his mind.
In his message, Xu Longyin said that after learning the news, he went to see Li Jinwang immediately.
After repeatedly analyzing the pros and cons, he stated frankly that Lin Yi himself was his most important investment in Tianjun.
“If anything happens to you, Boss, the Xuanwu Divine Society’s plans in Tianjun will collapse, and Tianjun will ultimately fall into the hands of the Beast God Academy. For both public and private reasons, Prince Li Jin should not sit idly by!”
In the message, Xu Longyin's tone was full of urgency.
But Prince Li Jin only replied with one sentence: "I will not get involved in this matter."
Xu Longyin then analyzed that with the Xuanwu Divine Society undergoing a leadership change and the Huan family pressing forward step by step, Li Jinwang was in a difficult situation and might want to cut his losses to survive by abandoning Tianjun and prioritizing self-preservation.
In short, the Xuanwu God Society is prepared to stand by and watch.
After reading the message, Lin Yi remained silent for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, only determination remained in his eyes.
It is better to rely on yourself than others!
He wasn't actually surprised by the Xuanwu Divine Society's reaction.
Although the two sides cooperated, it was only superficial.
To be honest, Lin Yi's collaboration was not with the Xuanwu Divine Society, but with Li Jinwang himself.
Judging from this, Li Jinwang's situation, as Xu Longyin said, is probably not very optimistic.
Otherwise, even if it were just for the sake of their usefulness, they wouldn't have remained completely inactive this time.
After all, if Lin Yi were to die, all the previous efforts would have been in vain.
The sunk costs involved, even if they aren't huge, are certainly not to be easily ignored.
New Heavenly Palace Roundtable Conference.
All the bigwigs from Tianjun gathered, and the atmosphere inside the hall was extremely oppressive. No one cared about trivial matters; everyone's attention was focused on the crisis that would occur in three days.
The Food Saint coughed and broke the silence first: "Why are you all looking so long-faced? The Beast God Academy said they could send a two-zhang Dharma Aspect expert, but that might not actually happen! Do you really think the Creation God's decree is just for show?"
He said this to ease the tension and also to encourage himself.
Upon hearing this, everyone tried to appear calm and echoed the sentiment, but deep down they were still uncertain.
Whatever I say at this moment is insincere and nothing more than self-deception.
Just then, Lin Yi pushed open the door and entered, his gaze sweeping across the entire room. He bluntly stated, "A master of the Two-Zhang Dharma Aspect will definitely come, and I am no match for him."
His words were firm and resolute, without the slightest concealment.
The hall fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
The sense of relief on everyone's faces vanished instantly, replaced by solemnity.
There's a limit to self-deception. Now that even Lin Yi himself is saying this, there's really no hope left.
Lin Yi glanced around and said calmly, "If any of you wish to withdraw, you may do so now. I, Lin Yi, will not stop you. Let's part ways amicably."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Cao Mang abruptly stood up, his voice booming like thunder: "I won't leave! I, Cao Mang, have followed you, sir, with my family; we are already in the same boat! If you are defeated, I will accompany you to the Yellow Springs. What is there to fear!" (End of Chapter)
