Finally, just as they were about to be completely crushed by fear, Lin Yi spoke softly: "If you want me to believe in you, there is only one way: you must be included on the list."
As they spoke, the physical form of the Great Dao appeared behind them, and the list of those who could be recruited by the government immediately appeared before them.
Everyone looked at each other.
After a brief standoff, a nine-zhang-tall Dharma-form expert nodded first: "Very well, I am willing to serve you, young master, and be your loyal servant."
As soon as he finished speaking, he went straight to the list of those who could be recruited.
The other nine-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar experts exchanged glances and immediately joined the list of those to be recruited without hesitation.
Things went surprisingly smoothly.
From their perspective, this isn't a difficult choice at all.
Ultimately, they were just working for Lü Bukui, and they would be working for Lin Yi anyway; it was just a matter of having a different boss.
The new boss is now far more powerful than Lü Bukui. According to Sima Bozhong, he and Lü Bukui are from the same school and are both his disciples, with completely identical backgrounds and connections.
What's there to be conflicted about?
Lin Yi glanced at the loyalty ratings of these people; each one was above 80, with some even reaching 90, making them exceptionally obedient and docile.
To be fair, the entire environment of Tianjun is indeed very obedient under the discipline of the various aristocratic families, even experts of this level are so well-behaved.
If this were outside, it would be extremely difficult for Lin Yi to subdue a master of the nine-zhang Dharma Aspect. There would be no chance at all except for Jiang Xiaoshang to personally take action.
Seeing that all five nine-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect experts had stood behind Lin Yi, Sima Bozhong, who was the last one left, suddenly felt immense pressure.
"No? You don't mean to make me onto the list too, do you?"
Sima Bozhong looked on incredulously: "I am a direct descendant of the Sima family. Have you ever seen a core member of a prestigious family work like a slave for someone? What the hell are you thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded seriously: "Then I was indeed overthinking it."
Before Sima Bozhong could even feel happy, he heard him add, "Then let's just kill him."
Sima Bozhong: "..."
Seeing five nine-zhang-tall Dharma figures surrounding him, each with an unfriendly expression, Sima Bozhong panicked.
Logically speaking, Lin Yi shouldn't dare to kill him.
The problem is that many things don't follow the rules at all!
If common sense were truly so effective, Lü Bukui should be standing in front of him right now, and he should be happily dividing the spoils.
"Send him on his way."
With a single, casual remark, Lin Yi effectively sentenced Sima Bozhong to death.
Sima Bozhong was instantly terrified and cried out, "You can't kill me! There are skilled warriors from my Sima family outside. If I die, they will immediately inform the family head!"
"you sure?"
Lin Yi looked at him with a half-smile.
Sima Bozhong snorted coldly, his neck stiff: "Of course I'm sure!"
He wasn't just bluffing.
It's not hard to guess what Lu Bukui's true intentions were in privately summoning him this time; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle the situation if something went wrong.
So he found a top-tier family healer and bought himself an insurance policy.
Originally intended only for Lü Bukui, it has now unexpectedly become a convenient way to counterbalance Lin Yi.
As soon as he finished speaking, the spatial blockade around him was broken, and a familiar figure came into view.
Sima Bozhong was immediately overjoyed: "Uncle Hongtu!"
Then, he saw Sima Hongtu walk solemnly to Lin Yi's side and say with utmost sincerity, "Sima Hongtu greets Young Master."
Sima Bozhong was stunned on the spot.
Lin Yi looked at him leisurely: "Who else did you call?"
Sima Bozhong: "..."
His gaze darted back and forth between Lin Yi and Sima Hongtu, and a storm raged in his heart.
He was already taking a risk by coming out without telling the family's higher-ups and inviting Sima Hongtu along; how could he possibly invite more people?
But what's the situation now?
His Sima family's top retainer actually became Lin Yi's lackey?
Sima Bozhong felt a chill run down his spine. His Sima family was notorious for its ruthlessness and its extremely strict control over the family.
How could Lin Yi bypass the family's surveillance and plant such a heavyweight pawn in the Sima family? What exactly is he trying to do?
An even more alarming question is whether Sima Hongtu was the only pawn Lin Yi had laid out?
Especially considering what we just discovered, it's highly likely that the big boss is behind Lin Yi. Is all of this Lin Yi's own idea, or is it instigated by that big boss behind the scenes?
If that person were to set their sights on the Sima family, it would be a momentous event for the entire Sima family.
If things go wrong, it could be a complete catastrophe!
Lin Yi didn't say a word, but Sima Bozhong had already scared himself half to death.
"What exactly do you want to do to my Sima family?"
Sima Bozhong asked cautiously.
As a core member of the direct line, he was bound to the honor and disgrace of the entire Sima family. However, if the Sima family was destined to perish, he had no intention of being buried with the family.
When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives; that's the typical style of the Sima family.
Lin Yi said in a low voice, "You don't need to know so much. What you need to do now is tell me your choice: do you want to be buried with the Sima family right now, or do you choose to join us?"
"I……"
After hesitating for a moment, Sima Bozhong finally made his decision: "I am willing to join you."
"As expected of a member of the Sima family."
Lin Yi chuckled inwardly.
Even he himself did not expect that things would become so simple by a twist of fate.
I was originally prepared to put in a lot of effort, but after the other party filled in some blanks in their mind, they completed their self-conquest directly.
Sima Bozhong rarely showed a hint of shame, but he quickly brainwashed himself, saying, "I'm only doing this for the Sima family. As long as I'm still here, the Sima family can be rebuilt."
Lin Yi said with a playful expression, "That's a good idea."
Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, Sima Bozhong's name appeared on the list of those offered amnesty.
Loyalty level: 60.
This guy is definitely not honest.
That's understandable, though. This guy sold out the Sima family that gave him life and raised him without hesitation. Now, forced by circumstances, he's been recruited into the amnesty list. To expect him to be loyal would be a pipe dream.
For Lin Yi, that was enough.
With Sima Hongtu watching over him anyway, Sima Bozhong is unlikely to cause any trouble.
Moreover, Lin Yi wanted to add an extra layer of insurance.
Lin Yi directly used the will of the world to place an inviolable restriction on the primordial spirit of each person.
With this restriction in place, these people cannot reveal any information related to themselves. Even if an external force tries to spy on their primordial spirit, it will be firmly blocked from the outside.
The worst outcome would be to forcefully detonate the restriction, annihilating these people's souls and spirits.
Soon, Lü Bukui was also released.
