Chapter 12290
"Those three eight-zhang-tall Dharma figures?"
Lin Yi raised his eyelids slightly.
Ouyang Jue nodded repeatedly: "The three of them usually work alone and don't usually show their faces unless they receive instructions from the boss."
Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Is it possible that the leader will personally come forward?"
Ouyang Jue immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible. We are just pawns of the boss. To the boss, we pawns are of some use, but far from being crucial. If we are discarded, we are discarded."
Lin Yi chuckled: "You do have a good sense of self-awareness."
Ouyang Jue smiled bitterly, "If I didn't have this much self-awareness, I wouldn't be alive now. I would have died on the way like the other eighty-seven people."
Having discussed this much, Lin Yi finally had a general idea of the situation in the border region.
The Righteous Alliance is stirring up trouble and poses a significant threat.
However, the most important thing is to find out the details of the leader, especially his motives.
Lin Yi changed the subject: "We've had enough of the small talk. Let's get down to business. Tell me, how do you cultivate?"
Ultimately, everything else is just scraps.
The real key lies in the method that enables the mass production of black hole-level masters, such as those with nine-zhang or even eight-zhang Dharma forms.
Once you figure this out, you'll have a general idea of where the other party comes from.
Moreover, even if Lin Yi himself couldn't use this method, it could be used to mass-produce super experts, making it extremely valuable.
Ouyang Jue's face stiffened: "This..."
"can not say?"
Lin Yi casually remarked, "Why don't you go in for a while longer?"
"No, no! No need! I've already told you!"
Ouyang Jue felt a chill run down his spine and immediately confessed, "Actually, we don't know the complete method either. The chief has never revealed it. He just told us to do as he instructed. He handled all the key steps for us. We didn't break through on our own."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "He'll do the breakthrough for you?"
Having reached this level, he's seen a lot, but this kind of outrageous tactic is still the first time he's heard of it.
"So, you really are just pawns."
Lin Yi quickly realized.
Ultimately, the reason they did this was because they didn't trust Ouyang Jue and his group. While it was incredible that they helped these people break through to the next level and forcibly boosted their strength, it also locked down their potential.
If you can't even figure out how to break through, how can you have any autonomy, let alone any upper limit?
Ouyang Jue smiled bitterly and remained silent.
It was precisely because of this self-awareness that he, like everyone else, while showing respect for the leader, were far from being loyal.
Lin Yi said, "Tell me all the cultivation methods you know, as many as you know."
Ouyang Jue hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded weakly.
Just as he was about to speak, his entire primordial spirit and body suddenly self-destructed.
Fortunately, Lin Yi reacted quickly and dodged in time.
Otherwise, given the power of that self-destruction, even with his physical defenses, he would likely have been seriously injured.
Moreover, there was an exceptionally powerful being in the shadows who cast a glance in Lin Yi's direction.
"He really is a big shot."
Lin Yi was not surprised by this. Regardless of who the other party was, this incident had created a grudge between them.
However, Lin Yi had no regrets.
Since we've already embarked on the path of conquering the divine realm, encountering all sorts of enemies is inevitable; it's just a matter of how many there are.
Looking at it from another perspective, being able to know about the other party's existence in advance is not a bad thing at all; on the contrary, it is a good thing.
Otherwise, if we wait until the crucial moment, until we are exhausted from fighting other powerful enemies, and then a righteous alliance suddenly appears, that would be truly fatal.
Of course, so far it is only Ouyang Jue's side of the story. Although Lin Yi believes it to some extent, it still needs to be verified.
Soon, Chai Xun was dragged out.
This arrogant and ruthless man, who personally killed the number one of the Righteous Alliance, now had the same expression as Ouyang Jue just now.
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment.
He was genuinely worried that Jiang Xiaoshang would ruin the other party.
He was, after all, a super master of the Nine-Foot Dharma Form, and a party involved from the Righteous Alliance, so his value was immense.
Lin Yi asked the same question again.
Like Ouyang Jue, Chai Xun answered every question with utmost courtesy.
The results proved that what the two said was largely accurate, and it could be basically confirmed.
However, just in case, Lin Yi did not mention cultivation techniques.
If we test the waters, we could very well end up like Ouyang Jue.
After verification, Lin Yi got straight to the point: "Since you have nowhere to go right now, why don't you stay here with me? I happen to need someone around me."
Chai Xun's first reaction was to raise his eyebrows, a display of his innate, untamed arrogance.
But the moment he recalled being dealt with by Jiang Xiaoshang, his arrogance vanished instantly.
Chai Xun thought for a moment and said, "Want me to be your underling? Beat me first."
Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile: "Alright."
Having just mastered the Nine-Zhang Dharma Form, he indeed needed a worthy opponent to properly familiarize himself with this power.
Lin Yi immediately threw Chai Xun back into the New World to help him recover quickly.
To add to that, Chai Xun's six senses were completely shut down, and with Jiang Xiaoshang personally watching over him, he couldn't perceive the special nature of the new world at all.
When Chai Xun reappeared, he had already recovered to his peak condition.
"Come on! Let me see what you're really made of!"
Chai Xun visibly regained his arrogance.
Lin Yi said with amusement, "You think you're all that anymore?"
Chai Xun casually moved his hands and feet. He was indeed traumatized by Jiang Xiaoshang and had witnessed Lin Yi's strength, but to say that he would be completely submissive to Lin Yi because of this was pure nonsense.
He didn't think Lin Yi was stronger than him at all.
Ultimately, if he and Ouyang Jue hadn't both suffered heavy losses, and Lin Yi hadn't reaped the benefits, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Even if Lin Yi had mastered the nine-zhang Dharma Form, it still wouldn't be enough in his eyes.
To reiterate, not all nine-zhang Dharma forms are the same. Otherwise, how could he have killed the number one of their Righteous Alliance?
Two hours later.
Chai Xun watched helplessly as his nine-zhang-tall Dharma form was shattered, his face filled with bewilderment.
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "You're right, not all nine-zhang Dharma forms are the same."
Chai Xun: "..."
All he wants to do right now is find a hole to crawl into.
This is a one-on-one battle at his peak. If he makes excuses again, even he would despise himself.
The key point is that this wasn't a narrow defeat for him.
He was genuinely beaten by Lin Yi for two hours!
If Lin Yi hadn't wanted to fight a little longer and held back, let alone two hours, he wouldn't have even been able to last half an hour.
Lin Yi asked curiously, "Are all those nine-zhang-tall Dharma Images from the Righteous Alliance at your level?" (End of Chapter)
