School flower's personal master

Chapter 12288

Lin Yi was speechless: "Is Steward Wang trying to fool me? If I handed over all the dragon-head canes, would I still be alive today?"

Since the other side is determined to annex Nanjun and Longjun, the first thing to do is to destroy them.

As long as Lin Yi is alive, he will be a major threat.

He will never be able to hold onto his position as the governor of the three prefectures of Wang Shide.

"Tsk tsk, you saw through it so easily?"

Wang Shide laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Alright, since Chief Steward Lin is so clever, then I won't tease you anymore. Men, send Chief Steward Lin on his way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Qiao immediately led a group of experts out from behind him.

Lin Yi's eyes darkened: "You don't dare to make a move yourself, so you send your underlings to their deaths as cannon fodder?"

Wang Shide laughed loudly: "Lin Yi, Lin Yi, are you secretly planning to give us a hard blow, or even thinking of taking us down with you?"

"We're all people who are destined for great things, so let's not be so naive, shall we?"

"If I were in your family, I would just accept my fate at this point and just want a quick death, since there's no chance of turning things around anyway, right?"

Ultimately, he was still wary of Lin Yi.

He could guess that Lin Yi couldn't move, and he could also guess the reason why Lin Yi couldn't move, which was very likely that he was digesting the insect essence.

But in the end, he still didn't dare to gamble.

There is no precedent for this, and who can guarantee that the digestion of parasites will not be interrupted?

Or, to put it another way, once interrupted, there might be a backlash, but who can guarantee that the backlash will definitely be fatal?

If the backlash isn't too fatal, from Lin Yi's current perspective, there's no need for any hesitation in making a choice.

Wang Shide would never do anything foolish.

What he wanted was to give Lin Yi no chance to turn the tables, and sacrificing a group of his men for this was entirely worthwhile.

Isn't that what your subordinates are for?

As a result, just as Wang Shide was full of anticipation, waiting to see Lin Yi die suddenly, Lao Qiao and the others did not make a move.

"Waiting for what?"

Wang Shide immediately frowned: "Hurry up and kill him!"

Old Joe suddenly turned to confront him: "I'm sorry, Steward, I am the young master's man."

"what?"

Wang Shide was stunned on the spot.

It took him a long time to stammer out his reaction: "You're Lin Yi's mole? How is that possible?"

Old Joe was one of the earliest followers of his.

Initially, he was not very successful under his supervision, but he was low-key and reliable. As time went by, he gradually became a core member and is now his most trusted deputy.

This kind of person, from any perspective, is his absolute loyalist.

How could he be Lin Yi's mole?

If this were in the secular world, Wang Shide's first reaction would definitely be to check the date and see if today is April 1st!

However, Old Joe just watched him quietly, without making a single joke.

Wang Shide's face immediately darkened, and he looked at the others in disbelief: "What about you? Are you also Lin Yi's undercover agents?"

This is simply a fantasy.

It's one thing if Old Joe is the only undercover agent, but how can everyone be an undercover agent?

Old Joe said quietly, "I've turned them to the other side."

Wang Shide: "..."

For a moment, he really thought this man was crazy.

Over the years, those who have stayed by his side are the most reliable elders.

How could they all have been turned?

If he could really achieve that, the Chief Administrator of Zhongjun wouldn't be called Wang Shide, but rather Old Qiao.

However, judging from the current situation, it is indeed the case.

Wang Shide quickly realized: "You left everyone else with Shang Tianya?"

Old Joe nodded frankly: "Those who don't listen to reason are not fit to be here today; they should all be dead by now."

"What a disobedient child!"

Wang Shide felt a chill run down his spine.

He thought he had everything under control, and that no one in Zhongjun could escape his grasp. But it turned out he didn't even realize he had been sidelined.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Wang Shide was, after all, a ruthless and ambitious man. He quickly calmed down and chuckled coldly in a low voice: "That's right, I admit I misjudged you, but Old Joe, you've outsmarted yourself."

Old Qiao said solemnly, "Please enlighten me, Steward."

"Might makes right."

Wang Shide slowly unleashed his ten-zhang-long Dharma form: "No matter how much you scheme, in the end you still have to rely on your fists. Do you think your fists are hard enough?"

His aura spread out, instantly enveloping the entire area and making everyone feel suffocated.

Everyone's eyelids twitched simultaneously.

Wang Shide has always presented himself as a shrewd and calculating man, but he never personally engages in combat. At least in the last hundred years, he has never actually made a move in public.

They've all forgotten how Wang Shide debuted.

Wang Shide is not some rich second-generation heir; in fact, his background is even more humble than that of a commoner.

He wasn't given this territory of Zhongjun by anyone; he earned it entirely through his own fists, one punch at a time.

This is a ruthless hero who rose to prominence purely through bloodshed!

Wang Shide slowly moved his hands and feet, a look of nostalgia on his face: "It's been so long since I've fought with anyone, we've almost forgotten what it feels like."

"Thankfully, our blood hasn't gone cold yet."

As he spoke, the curved blade in his hand suddenly grew ten feet in length.

Great Dao Weapons!

Before anyone could react, the three people at the front were decapitated and fell silently as three headless corpses.

Everyone felt a chill run down their necks.

"I'm really out of practice. I should have killed two more with that strike."

Wang Shide grinned maliciously and swung his knife again: "Looks like I'll have to rely on my strength and slash a few more times."

Blood splattered everywhere, and heads rolled.

Seeing this, Old Qiao revealed his ten-zhang-tall Dharma form and stepped forward to meet the attack.

However, he barely withstood three blows before being cleaved away by a single strike.

“Not all ten-zhang Dharma forms are the same. You’ve been with us for so long, don’t you even understand this basic principle?”

Wang Shide stepped on Old Qiao and slowly pressed the tip of his knife against Old Qiao's throat.

“Every traitor deserves to be torn to pieces. Old Joe, do you deserve a more glorious death, or do you prefer a more painful one?”

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly spoke up: "Villains die from talking too much. Didn't anyone teach you that, Steward Wang?"

Wang Shide felt a chill run down his spine.

Before anyone knew it, Lin Yi had quietly stood up.

"idiot."

Seeing this, Ouyang Jue on the ground couldn't help but curse, "Knowing he's absorbing insect essence, he's still wasting his time like an idiot. He's a super stupid idiot who deserves to be written into history!"

While cursing, there was also a hint of schadenfreude.

He certainly didn't want to see Lin Yi have the last laugh, but he also didn't want to be taken advantage of by a villain like Wang Shide.

Chai Xun, who was standing nearby, shared the same thought.

However, from Wang Shide's perspective, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his handling of the situation.

He didn't intentionally waste time with people like Old Joe.

He was well aware that, given the situation, the best course of action was to decisively take action against Lin Yi, and only after completely dealing with Lin Yi could he turn his attention back to Old Qiao and his group. (End of Chapter)
