Chapter 12289
This approach can nip the greatest threat in the bud, at the cost of enduring an attack from Old Joe and his men.
At most, he'll suffer some non-fatal injuries.
But in the end, he chose a safer option: kill Old Joe first, and after clearing out these small fry, then focus on dealing with Lin Yi.
"You're not stupid, you're just a coward."
Lin Yi casually said, "After serving as the chief administrator of Zhongjun for so many years, you must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. It's a pity that you've lost all your courage."
Wang Shide suddenly roared: "We're not cowards! We've never been cowards!"
"Defense broken?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but show a strange expression.
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to really touch the other person's heart.
"I'll kill him right now, then fight you three hundred rounds and see who's the coward!"
Wang Shide immediately wanted to deal with Old Qiao.
Lin Yi said calmly, "You'd better not do that."
"Threatening us? Are we afraid of your threats?"
Wang Shide appeared disdainful, but everyone present could clearly see the moment he froze.
The crowd was puzzled. After all, he was a well-known and powerful figure. The situation had already developed to this point. Surely he wouldn't back down now?
However, they soon understood why Wang Shide was behaving this way.
Lin Yi unleashed the Great Dao Dharma Image.
Nine zhang (approximately 33 meters).
Everyone's eyelids twitched violently at the same time, and Wang Shide closed his eyes in despair.
If Lin Yi were still in his ten-zhang Dharma form, with his strong foundation, he would at least have the confidence to put up a fight. But now, it's a complete futile attempt to break through a solid barrier.
If he dares to attack Lin Yi again, he's courting death.
The next second, Wang Shide made a sudden decision and exerted his strength, preparing to send Old Qiao away.
As a result, the moment he made a move, the ten-zhang-tall Dharma image collapsed on the spot.
Lin Yi stood expressionless behind him, his figure shimmering with light and shadow, like a god descending.
"They didn't dare to lay a hand on me even at the last minute; they're such cowards."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shide was slapped down by the nine-foot-tall Buddha image, and his body was instantly destroyed.
There was dead silence.
Lin Yi put away his nine-zhang Dharma form, gave an instruction to Lao Qiao and the others, and they immediately understood and left.
Soon only Lin Yi, Ouyang Jue, and Chai Xun remained at the scene.
Lin Yi squatted down: "Gentlemen, shall we talk about the affairs of the border region?"
Both of them felt a chill run down their spines.
Ouyang Jue retorted dismissively, "You're just a novice who's only just entered the Nine-Zhang realm. Do you really think you're something special?"
Lin Yi didn't say anything, but grabbed his head with one hand and threw him directly into the new world.
In the blink of an eye, it was pulled out again.
Chai Xun, standing to the side, was puzzled, but when he looked at Ouyang Jue again, he saw that his spirit and energy had been greatly diminished.
For the first time, his usually unruly eyes were filled with terror.
When they saw Lin Yi again, it was as if they had encountered their natural enemy, and they felt a tremor from the bottom of their bones.
Lin Yi smiled at him: "Can we talk now?"
Ouyang Jue nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we can talk!"
Chai Xun was dumbfounded.
what's the situation?
Although he looked down on Ouyang Jue, he had a deep understanding of Ouyang Jue's arrogance. Not to mention others, even the leading figures within their organization had never shown him any respect or bowed down.
How long has it been? And they've already been completely subdued?
"As long as we can chat, that's fine."
Lin Yi turned around and threw Chai Xun into the new world as well, then looked at Ouyang Jue: "Tell me about your border region."
Ouyang Jue hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Lin Yi's unfriendly gaze and recalled what had just happened, his body trembled involuntarily.
What seemed like only a short while from the outside felt like an extremely long time to him.
Crucially, Jiang Xiaoshang also personally entertained him.
To be honest, Jiang Xiaoshang is absolutely a professional when it comes to tormenting people.
Whether it was physical or psychological, they presented one set after another, which even broadened Lin Yi's horizons.
There's nothing we can do about it; after all, they know a lot.
Lin Yi asked with great interest, "How did a group of experts like you suddenly appear in a place like the border region?"
Given the resources and foundation of this border prefecture, it is normally not even comparable to Long Prefecture.
It would be a miracle if two or three top-tier combatants emerged; the possibility of a super expert like them, with a nine-zhang-long Dharma form, appearing is almost zero.
Moreover, it wasn't just one, but a whole bunch of them suddenly appeared!
There must be a huge secret behind this.
Ouyang Jue dared not hide anything and cautiously replied, "We were all trained by the chief himself."
"The boss?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "Tell me in detail, what is the background and strength of this leader?"
Ouyang Jue said weakly, "I don't know."
Lin Yi glanced at him sideways.
Ouyang Jue was horrified and quickly explained, "The leader suddenly appeared thirty years ago and has always worn a mask. None of us have seen his real face, and no one knows exactly where he came from."
Lin Yi frowned: "Go on."
Ouyang Jue said, "The chief personally selected one hundred children from various border counties and personally instructed us in cultivation."
"Many people were eliminated along the way, and now there are thirteen people left."
"Under the orders of the chief, the thirteen of us formed a force and secretly controlled the border region."
Lin Yi asked, "What's your name?"
"The Alliance of Righteousness".
Without Lin Yi needing to ask further, Ouyang Jue took the initiative to explain: "According to the leader's instructions, now is not the time for us to emerge. Our Righteous Alliance needs to wait for an opportunity before we can officially take action against the various prefectures."
"What opportunity?"
Ouyang Jue replied, "The chief didn't say anything, he just told us to wait."
Lin Yi then asked, "Thirteen people, are they all of this strength?"
"That's not entirely true."
Ouyang Jue thought for a moment and said, "Including myself and Chai Xun, ten of them are of similar strength, all of them are nine-zhang Dharma bodies. There are also three people who are much stronger, all of them are eight-zhang Dharma bodies."
Hearing this, even Lin Yi couldn't help but gasp.
These are a bunch of monsters!
If these people were to be unleashed like tigers from their cages, it would be a huge unknown whether even the entire thirteen counties of the Divine Realm could withstand them, let alone one or two counties.
Just who exactly is that big boss?
Lin Yi was becoming increasingly curious.
Lin Yi continued, "What happened between you and Chai Xun this time?"
Ouyang Jue admitted, "A few days ago, Chai Xun killed our boss, so I came out to chase after him."
"Your boss?"
"It's just a name. According to the leader's rules, he should be called Number One because he was the first of the thirteen to be chosen."
Ouyang Jue paused, then added, "His strength isn't the strongest; he's only considered mid-tier."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment: "If you and Chai Xun don't go back, what will the Righteous Alliance do?"
Ouyang Jue thought for a moment and said, "The most likely scenario is that they will continue to send people out to investigate. If the situation becomes serious, it might alert those three guys." (End of Chapter)
