"Thanks for the compliment."
Lu Bukui's amused voice rang out from ahead: "Didn't expect to see you again so soon, did you?"
Lin Yi sized up the other person, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Have we met before?"
Lu Bukui laughed and said, "You really have a bad memory. Didn't you just beat me in the final race and steal the fragment of godhood?"
After a pause, Lü Bukui walked up to him leisurely and said, "But I'm a little confused now. Should I call you Xing Zhe or Lin Yi?"
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.
Although I had anticipated this scene and was mentally prepared, it still caught me somewhat off guard because it happened so quickly.
"You are indeed a talented person."
Lu Bukui patted Lin Yi on the shoulder with a smile, his tone playful: "It's a pity this isn't the Immortal God Track, and you're not that made-up monkey. It sounds a bit cruel, but it's the truth. You can't escape the five fingers of the real world."
The final moments of the race definitely cost him a lot.
But in his eyes, the final stage of the race is part of the overall strategy. Even if he suffers losses in certain areas, as long as the overall situation is in place, he will be invincible.
As it turned out, everything was within his calculations.
Lin Yi shook his head: "You seemed just as confident on the Immortal God Track just now."
"..."
Lu Bukui's face darkened, then he resumed his cold smile: "Sharp words are useless. You can make such a commotion, so you must be a smart person and be able to see the current situation clearly."
Lin Yi glanced around.
At this moment, a total of thirteen auras guarded each position, and even with his keen eyesight, he could not see the slightest flaw.
The key is that each of these auras is incredibly powerful.
Roughly estimated, they are all masters with a Dharma form of at least nine zhang or even eight zhang.
If it were just one or two, Lin Yi wouldn't care with his current strength. But so many suddenly appearing, especially with such perfect coordination, clearly indicating specialized training, is a completely different story.
Especially since there was also a Lu Bukui, whose abilities were unknown, standing right in front of him.
If we want to break out of here today, it will be extremely difficult.
Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile: "You surely know better than I do the weight of this responsibility I bear. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Lü Bukui narrowed his eyes: "Trying to scare me?"
Lin Yi shrugged: "There's nothing I can do, this is the Five Finger Mountain of the real world."
Lin Yi's identity alone is a bombshell in Tianjun, especially after being combined with the mysterious aura of continuously finishing the race, his influence is terrifying and immeasurable.
Let alone Lu Bukui, even if any top-tier family were to step in, they might not have the appetite to swallow it all by themselves.
If things go wrong, it could attract the ire of other powerful families, turning us into a complete enemy of Tianjun!
It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Yi's existence is a hot potato for any force in Tianjun.
Everyone covets it, but no one can handle it.
Lin Yi said meaningfully, "If I'm not mistaken, you didn't inform your boss about this operation, but you certainly couldn't take the blame yourself, so you chose a scapegoat, right?"
Lu Bukui's expression changed slightly.
From his perspective, everything was under his control, and Lin Yi was nothing more than prey caught in his net.
Normally, Lin Yi should be feeling extremely apprehensive right now.
Even if they try to appear calm, they are at most just putting on a brave front but being weak inside.
Who would have thought that Lin Yi would so easily reveal the truth? For a moment, Lü Bukui even had the illusion that he was the prey, which sent chills down his spine.
Could this guy have someone backing him?
The moment that terrifying thought popped into his head, Lü Bukui decisively dismissed it.
If that were the case, Lin Yi would not have easily fallen into the encirclement he had set up. Or rather, if Lin Yi was just bait, then it would not be someone of his caliber who would have taken the bait.
The only explanation is that Lin Yi deduced all of this himself.
Having figured this out, a hint of amazement flashed in Lü Bukui's eyes: "It seems my judgment was correct; you are indeed a rare and intelligent person."
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "You flatter me."
Lu Bukui clapped his hands: "Brother Sima, since they have already pointed it out to our faces, there is no need for us to keep it a secret any longer."
Sima Bozhong immediately responded and stepped forward.
Lin Yi's eyes showed a slightly strange look: "Just him?"
As a core member of the Sima family, Sima Bozhong's status was not bad, but the key was who he was compared to.
Such a big event is something that even top-tier second-generation figures would find difficult to handle, let alone someone like Sima Bozhong, who is on the fringes of the second-generation elite circle.
Lu Bukui glanced at Sima Bozhong with a smile: "Brother Sima, did you hear that? They don't even look at you."
Sima Bozhong strode over with a swagger: "Just a captured prey, what right does he have to look down on me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Lin Yi clicked his tongue: "Another defeated opponent."
With that one sentence, both of their faces darkened.
No matter how they try to comfort themselves, as fellow losers in the final stages of the race, it would be too self-deceptive to say that they deliberately lost to Lin Yi.
This isn't how you fool yourself.
Sima Bozhong forced a laugh: "Winning first doesn't count as winning. Given your current situation, no matter how much you won before, it was all just to benefit us."
"If I were you, I should be smart and hand over all the fragments of godhood now, so as to avoid some unnecessary torment."
"Let me remind you, my Sima family, putting aside everything else, is at least quite skilled in torturing people."
Lin Yi didn't even glance at him, and looked directly at Lü Bukui: "You went to such lengths to find me just for the fragments of the divine spark?"
While speaking, he gave me a look of sympathy as if I were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities.
Sima Bozhong, however, did not feel anything was amiss.
“You have at least seven fragments of divine essence. Even if you fuse one away, you will still have at least six left, which is not a small number.”
Even with his family background, six fragments of divine power are still an incredible and enormous resource.
If he were to take it all for himself, his strength would at least increase by two levels!
Lu Bukui shrugged: "Brother Sima is a very honest person, while I am more of a pragmatist. I only want to cooperate sincerely with Brother Lin and end more races together."
The implication is that one of them wants the fish, and the other wants the fishing rod.
"Sincere cooperation?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "Do you even believe that yourself? You're just using me as a puppet, discarding me once you're done. To you, this Young Master Sima is just the same tool, there's no real difference between us."
Lu Bukui scoffed: "There's no need to use such a clumsy divisive tactic. Do you think you can fool a smart man like Brother Sima?"
