Finally, Sima Hui slowly withdrew his hand and disdainfully tossed Dewey aside.
"I'll have someone fire him later. The Sima family doesn't keep useless people."
Sima Hongtu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
The opponent possessed powerful spiritual senses, but fortunately, they had not delved deeply into the realm of the primordial spirit and thus failed to detect any traces of Dewey's memories being altered.
Sima Hui then said, "The Liu family came today, wanting to join forces with us to track down Lin Yi's whereabouts. You are an expert in this area. I discussed it with the family head, and you will be in charge of the handover with them next."
Sima Hongtu replied, "Understood."
"Remember, Lin Yi is extremely valuable. If you find any trace of him, notify me immediately."
Sima Hui said quietly, "If we had this person in our hands, he would be a good asset."
Sima Hongtu hesitated for a moment: "The Liu family?"
Sima Hui chuckled sinisterly, “They are a first-rate family, and they’ve condescended to seek cooperation with us, a second-rate family. Naturally, we must cooperate well, at least in appearances, we must show them our sincerity.”
The implication is that while unconditional cooperation is required on the surface, any underhanded actions must be kept extremely discreet.
Sima Hongtu immediately understood: "Understood, we will not leave any evidence against the Liu family."
I like your caution.
Sima Hui patted Sima Hongtu on the shoulder and said, "There's still one spot left in the family elders' council. I think you're good. Do your best."
Sima Hongtu was immediately moved: "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I will do my best and live up to your expectations!"
The family elders' council is the core of the Sima family.
If the other party had offered him such promises before, Sima Hongtu might have actually been tempted.
After all, from a special-grade honoree to a family elder, the levels may seem similar on the surface, but in reality, they are worlds apart.
But right now, all he wanted to do was laugh.
Sima Hui glanced around and then immediately walked away.
Sima Hongtu dared not linger alone, and could only follow behind him with a belly full of suspicion.
After the two left, Lin Yi quietly appeared.
For him, simply wanting to hide was an incredibly easy thing.
Once inside the new world, even the most powerful family patriarchs would find it difficult to detect any suspicious activity.
After tidying up, Lin Yi quietly left.
Although the incident was handled quite satisfactorily in terms of its outcome, with no substantial losses and the addition of an inside agent like Sima Hongtu, it was ultimately a success.
But it still served as a warning to Lin Yi.
Tianjun is different from other places.
This place is full of hidden talents; if you're not careful, someone might immediately seize on your weakness.
If we had encountered a more powerful expert instead of Sima Hongtu today, the situation might have already collapsed.
We must be more careful in our next actions.
At the same time, we must be prepared for a showdown at any time.
Lin Yi was certain that even if no one had accurately targeted him yet, there were definitely more than one person like Sima Hongtu who had narrowed down his search.
"The Rooster Group..."
Lin Yi had a strong intuition that he might soon encounter the Rooster Group, one of the twelve groups in the Heavenly Palace.
In fact, at this moment, there were two intelligence reports on the desk of Shi Tiannan, the leader of the Rooster Group.
One of them is about Lin Yi.
The other one is a compilation of the most recent track terminators.
Assistant Qu Nianyan leaned back against the table, looking troubled: "Our team only has enough manpower to keep an eye on one person right now. Which one should we start with?"
Shi Tiannan glanced back and forth a few times, then pondered, "Is there a possibility that these two people are actually the same person?"
"what?"
Qu Nianyan was surprised to hear this: "What's the basis for that?"
With their intelligence capabilities, the Rooster Group was able to analyze that several of the tracks that had been recently eliminated were ended by the same person.
There are no small matters on the racetrack.
Even though this person hasn't shown much harm so far, aside from repeatedly ending the race, since the race is involved, he must be added to the Rooster Group's key monitoring list.
Shi Tiannan shook his head: "There is no particularly obvious basis, it's just a feeling."
For someone of his caliber, no feeling is unfounded; it must be the result of meticulous deduction and review.
Qu Nianyan had no doubt whatsoever: "I'll make the arrangements right away."
Countless past experiences have proven that our team leader's intuition is more reliable than any intelligence analysis. Since Shi Tiannan has said so, the matter is probably pretty much confirmed.
Besides, the other members of the Rooster Group are not to be trifled with either.
There are indeed many subtle coincidences between the currently popular Lin Yi and this mysterious track terminator.
But when there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.
With the capabilities of the Rooster Group, they quickly reached a conclusion.
"We are over 90% certain that Lin Yi is the one who will be the winner in this race."
Qu Nianyan placed the analysis report in front of the team leader and then asked, "Should we conduct further monitoring or report to Tiangong?"
In principle, the Rooster Group is only responsible for monitoring and providing intelligence support, and does not directly participate in operations.
Shi Tiannan pressed his finger on the report: "Let's take another look. After all, there's no concrete evidence yet, is there?"
Qu Nianyan was taken aback.
Is my team leader such a cautious person?
However, upon further reflection, although Lin Yi has attracted much attention, he has not shown much harm so far, and the Heavenly Palace has not made any explicit demands.
Qu Nianyan immediately nodded: "Then I'll have them continue to follow up."
Shi Tiannan waved his hand: "No need, I will follow up personally from now on."
Qu Nianyan was stunned for a moment.
Since taking office as the leader of the Rooster Group, Shi Tiannan's performance has never been one of diligence or conscientiousness. He rarely handles matters personally and doesn't even bother to read the group's briefings.
Even the reports requested by Tiangong were handled by her as an assistant.
What does "today" mean?
The sun comes out in the west?
"Go and do your work."
Shi Tiannan dismissed his assistant and stared at Lin Yi's intelligence report, lost in thought.
Track lobby.
Lin Yi adopted a completely new alias, a middle-aged man named Wu Mu.
Like the previous ones, he was unremarkable in appearance and would not stand out in a crowd. Most importantly, he had very simple interpersonal relationships.
After looking around, Lin Yi quickly identified a racetrack.
Military General Track.
This is also a standard popular track. Most people dream of becoming emperors, and similarly, many people dream of becoming military generals.
However, the achievement requirements are a bit special this time.
A timeless tragedy.
This alone is enough to give many people a headache.
Asking them to design a brute general capable of defeating ten thousand men is a piece of cake; it's just a matter of who can boast the most.
But a tragic military general? The art style doesn't quite match, does it?
Even so, it is still a popular track, and the number of participants is still large. It's just a pity that only a few people can actually get achievement points.
