School flower's personal master

Chapter 12688

The backlash from public opinion grew increasingly fierce, and Kong Jisheng angrily cursed, "Foolish! Utterly foolish! How could a sage like me have such a stupid son!"

From his perspective, he couldn't find any reason for Zhang Baiyu to refuse.

The only explanation is that Zhang Baiyu has been completely brainwashed by Lin Yi, which is why he is so blindly loyal!

He was clearly the smartest person in Tianjun, yet in the end he became blindly loyal to others. How ironic!

Zhang Baiyu simply watched as he was swallowed up by public opinion, offering no explanation whatsoever.

In the final moment when he was swallowed up by public opinion, Kong Jisheng's anger suddenly dissipated, and he appeared with an eerie calm.

"I know what you want. As expected of the new strategist, you are indeed quick at calculating things."

Kong Jisheng revealed a strange smile: "I've set up the stage for you, and you just kick me aside. That way, you can still take over Tianjun, and no one will be able to stop you. Fine, fine, I accept it!"

Zhang Baiyu looked at him strangely: "Are you overthinking this?"

"Now that I've seen through you, there's no need to keep hiding it, right?"

Kong Jisheng resigned himself to his fate and said, "It's alright, I can grant your wish. I will help you trap Lin Yi. From now on, Tianjun will be your stage. I hope you won't bring shame to our Five Saints family."

After finishing his statement, he spontaneously disintegrated, merging into the overwhelming public opinion.

The torrent of public opinion was immediately stained crimson, and then transformed into an even thicker chain of public opinion, locking the secret realm of the racetrack layer by layer!

In this way, Lin Yi inside couldn't get out, leaving only Zhang Baiyu outside.

Given Zhang Baiyu's status in the Termination Society and his methods, taking over the entire Termination Society would be no difficult task, and even people like Lü Bukui wouldn't be able to stop him.

More likely, Lu Bukui and the others will not only not stop him, but will also regard him as Lin Yi's successor and wholeheartedly support him!

Then, we can use the final meeting as leverage to shake up the entire Tianjun, and everything will fall into place naturally!

Inside the secret realm of the racetrack.

Kong Jisheng's primordial spirit appeared before Lin Yi, with tens of thousands of crimson chains of public opinion connected to his back. Whenever any chain swayed, his face contorted with unbearable pain.

Lin Yi looked on speechlessly: "Is it necessary?"

Kong Jisheng's current state is far more painful than death. As long as the chains of public opinion are not broken, his soul will forever be tormented here.

This level of hardship would grind even a born saint into a vengeful ghost.

Suppressing his pain, Kong Jisheng sneered, "For Tianjun, I can give up everything!"

Lin Yi retorted, "Are you willing to drag the lineage of Confucius into this?"

"..."

Kong Jisheng was momentarily speechless, but then forced himself to cheer up: "With my daughter here, as long as Tianjun doesn't fall, the Kong family will eventually regain its glory!"

Lin Yi agreed with this point.

With Kong Qianqiu around, the lineage of Confucius will certainly not fall.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "The smartest thing you did was not to let Kong Qianqiu get involved. He was targeting me on one hand, and betting on me on the other. Were you trying to hedge your bets?"

Kong Jisheng's eyes flickered: "Don't underestimate me. Not putting all your eggs in one basket is just a trick of mediocre people. I have 100% confidence in the path I've chosen!"

"Whatever you say."

Lin Yi waved his hand: "If there's nothing else, I'll take it with me. I'll be leaving now."

"Go? Where are you going?"

Kong Jisheng paused for a moment, suppressing extreme pain while revealing a strange smile: "You still can't accept reality? You still think you can walk out of here?"

Lin Yi raised his hand, and a passage appeared in front of him: "Isn't this how we get out?"

Kong Jisheng: "..."

At this moment, the eyes of this new Confucius revealed clear folly.

"No? How could that be?"

He simply couldn't understand it. In his understanding, as long as the chains of public opinion remained unbroken, Lin Yi would be trapped in this secret realm of the racetrack forever.

Who would have thought this would happen?

Kong Jisheng suddenly realized what was happening, and his expression became even more distraught:

"Why does the God of the Track favor you so much? It is clearly us, the people of Tianjun, who should be the most favored. We, the people of Tianjun, are the purest subjects of the God of the Track. Why should you, an outsider with no relation to us, be favored?"

He absolutely refused to believe that Lin Yi had relied entirely on his own abilities.

The scene unfolding before his eyes could only be the God of the Track showing mercy to Lin Yi; this was the only possibility that still fit within his understanding.

Even so, he still couldn't accept it.

He, the newly appointed Confucius, had meticulously planned this for so long in conjunction with the previous strategist, even sacrificing himself as a expendable resource. He had finally reached this point, only to have Lin Yi just pat his butt and walk away like that.

Is this right?

Lin Yi glanced back at him: "If you ask a few more times, you might get the answer."

After saying that, he left the secret realm.

The next second, the entire racetrack secret realm vanished into thin air, along with Kong Jisheng's primordial spirit, all disappearing completely.

Ultimately, the track's secret realm is only temporarily set up for track battles. Once both sides die or leave at the same time, the secret realm will immediately reset to zero.

Return to Tianjun.

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Baiyu waiting in front of him, a playful look on his face: "Such a good opportunity, aren't you tempted at all? Tianjun will definitely be good if it's handed over to you."

Zhang Baiyu was somewhat speechless: "Although I can't guarantee that every choice will be correct, I can always eliminate those overly idiotic options."

He did indeed harbor aspirations to lead Tianjun.

But having aspirations is one thing, and being able to realize them is another. He is clear about this most basic thing.

Besides, by following Lin Yi, he might be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Reliable."

To be honest, this incident did involve some risks.

It's not that Zhang Baiyu would betray them; Zhang Baiyu is a truly intelligent person, and intelligent people know what to do.

The risk is that you could actually get stuck in the hidden area of ​​the track.

The reason he was able to escape so easily this time was not because of help from his fellow villagers in the secular world, but entirely because of Lin Yi's insight into the underlying code, which allowed him to open a backdoor himself.

Lin Yi felt uneasy about placing all his hopes on his fellow villagers in the secular world, not to mention the possibility of failure. The feeling of not being able to take control of the situation made him uneasy.

Zhang Baiyu returned to the main topic, saying, "Di Qingfan didn't make a move in this incident."

"Not moved at all?"

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.

Based on his understanding of this Emperor of Ultimate Intent, he knew that there would be no shortage of behind-the-scenes maneuvering in any such incident.

After all, given the current state of Tianjun, the five great families have either been incorporated or have fallen. The only ones who can pose a threat to each other are him and Lin Yi.

Once Lin Yi has complete control of Tianjun, it will be difficult for Emperor Jiyi to gain a foothold again.

Logically and emotionally, it's impossible for the Great Emperor of Ultimate Intent to remain completely inactive. (End of Chapter)
