School flower's personal master

Chapter 12674

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, followed by gasps of shock.

All eyes darted back and forth between Lin Yi and Kong Jisheng.

Aren't you in the opposition?

Why did he voluntarily step forward to be Lin Yi's vanguard?

The track loophole is different from the Dharma Aspect Secret Technique. The Dharma Aspect Secret Technique can be given away without any real loss, but the track loophole is the core interest of these Tianjun aristocratic families.

To be precise, this is their lifeline!

From top-tier families to third-rate families, every single one of them essentially survives by exploiting loopholes in the industry.

Other industries are merely supplementary; only by exploiting loopholes in the industry can they continuously receive the most crucial fragments of divine essence, thus maintaining their family's strength!

Once handed over, the entire family will immediately be unable to continue operating.

After all, track resources are limited. If others take a bigger bite, they take a smaller bite. There is no room for maneuver.

Isn't this uprooting them?

Lin Yi's expression was equally subtle.

He didn't expect Kong Jisheng to bring this up.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Everyone can freely discuss Confucius's suggestion."

The scene immediately erupted into chaos.

A group of powerful figures from prominent families launched a joint attack on Kong Jisheng.

Given the high prestige of Confucius's lineage, in the past there would still be some pilgrimage and respect. Regardless of what people thought in private, they would always say a few words of respect to his face.

However, now that it concerns the core interests of each party, everyone has torn off their masks on the spot.

Some people even directly cursed at Kong Jisheng.

Kong Jisheng remained calm and composed, arguing his case rationally despite the onslaught from the crowd, showing no sign of panic.

After a heated debate, Kong Jisheng, on his own, held his own and even gained the upper hand!

Putting everything else aside, he stands on the moral high ground of working for the benefit of the people, which naturally puts him in an invincible position.

They argued for a whole day, but ultimately failed to reach a conclusion.

For no other reason than that Lin Yi remained silent.

"Let's stop here for today. Everyone go back and digest this information, and we'll discuss it again at the next meeting."

Lin Yi's ambiguous attitude caused a stir among the crowd.

After the meeting, Zhang Baiyu stayed behind alone.

"It seems that our sage Confucius still has no intention of abandoning darkness and embracing light."

Zhang Baiyu reminded him.

Lin Yi glanced at him: "You think there's a problem with seizing the loopholes in the track?"

Zhang Baiyu said solemnly, "Since the new Heavenly Palace wants to integrate Tianjun, one Heavenly Martial Hall is not enough. It is only natural to collect loopholes in the track and develop track resources in a unified manner."

"But too much of a good thing can be bad; the key is to control the heat."

“Once the timing is right, a good thing can turn into a bad thing. If the major families complain about this, the situation in Tianjun could very well get out of control.”

"Most importantly, we must also be wary of the Ultimate Emperor."

Lin Yi had already discussed with Di Qingfan that he was the Great Emperor Jiyi. In addition to setting up the new Heavenly Palace, Zhang Baiyu's other core task was to keep a close eye on Di Qingfan.

With his intelligence, he could easily guess what Lin Yi wanted to do.

Play the long game to catch the big fish.

The power of the Supreme Emperor's lineage is so vast that it surpasses even the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families; focusing solely on Di Qingfan is far from sufficient.

Once you start, you must ensure a clean sweep in one shot, otherwise the consequences will be dire.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "You mean, he doesn't want me to simmer it slowly, and wants to set up a huge fire for me instead?"

Zhang Baiyu said, "The lineage of Confucius alone is not scary, nor is the lineage of the Supreme Emperor alone. But if the two families collude together, things will change."

"With their ability to manipulate people's hearts, it would be easy for them to orchestrate a major upheaval in Tianjun."

"When that time comes, there will inevitably be widespread suffering and loss of life."

Lin Yi was surprised: "They're supposed to be from the lineage of Confucius, surely they wouldn't be so shameless?"

He had little respect for Emperor Jiyi's integrity, but as far as the lineage of Confucius was concerned, they were generally well-regarded and lived up to the title of "highly respected for their virtue."

To allow the entire population of Tianjun to suffer or even perish for one's own selfish reasons would be a complete departure from one's character.

Zhang Baiyu said quietly, "The previous generation of Confucius would not, but it's hard to say about the current generation. Besides, whether he has already become a puppet of the Supreme Emperor remains to be seen."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you to keep a close eye on things."

Given the capabilities of his men, only Zhang Baiyu could handle something of this caliber.

"clear."

Zhang Baiyu then asked, "Should I suppress the matter of seizing the loopholes in the track?"

Lin Yi waved his hand: "It's alright, let them argue for now. While the focus is on this Confucius, we can build the Tianwu Hall first."

If this hadn't happened, the subsequent establishment of the Tianwu Hall would definitely have encountered all sorts of setbacks.

Even if the various aristocratic families outwardly responded positively, they would inevitably do so in private.

However, now that Kong Jisheng has become the target of attacks from all sides, this will save a lot of trouble in this regard.

As it turned out, Lin Yi's judgment was correct.

Kong Jisheng argued with a group of aristocratic families for ten days over the issue of track loopholes, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

Lin Yi never took the initiative to express his opinion, focusing solely on establishing the Tianwu Hall.

Ten days later.

The official establishment of Tianwu Hall caused a sensation throughout Tianjun.

Although during this period, under Lin Yi's instructions, a number of media outlets had already begun to spread the word and build momentum, and all parties had received the news in advance.

Creating hype is one thing, but actually implementing it is another.

"Have you heard? The Heavenly Martial Hall has collected sixty-nine Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques. I had no idea that our Heavenly County had so many Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques!"

"Nonsense, those are the private collections of noble families. How could they possibly let us lowly commoners know about them?"

"Now we're awesome! As long as we enter the Heavenly Martial Hall, we can learn any Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques!"

"There are absolutely no barriers to entry?"

"There are definitely some requirements, but they are all assessment requirements. Everything depends on your ability!"

"Is it really that good? The Heavenly Martial Hall isn't a place just anyone can join, is it? It's definitely for the gentlemen!"

"Then you're really wrong. The Heavenly Martial Hall doesn't care about family background; it only cares about your talent and aptitude. As long as you're talented enough, even a beggar can join the Heavenly Martial Hall!"

As word spread, people from all walks of life in Tianjun, especially the grassroots cultivators, became increasingly excited.

For them, this is the only visible opportunity to achieve upward social mobility, bar none.

scions of prominent families have other options.

they do not.

A large group of grassroots cultivators immediately called out to each other and went to Tianwu Hall to register.

"Chen Agou, are you going or not?"

All eyes turned to the dashing figure sitting on the ground drinking.

Looking at all the grassroots cultivators in Tianjun, Chen Agou is an absolutely indispensable figure.

After all, he was the only five-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar expert among them.

Chen Agou waved his hand: "Going there would be a waste of time. I'd better focus on Fugui Township first." (End of Chapter)
