Xu Shengchao carried Wen Ruoxu on his back, while Diao Xiong carried Wang Baoquan on his back.
The fate of the two people on his back was unknown.
Just as success seemed imminent, a massive aura suddenly emerged from behind, sweeping in like a tidal wave.
Xu Shengchao's eyelids twitched wildly: "Lin Yi!"
Before today, he thought he could compete with Lin Yi, and even if he couldn't beat him, he could at least keep him occupied for a while.
But now, he no longer has any such wishful thinking.
Especially given his current injured state, if Lin Yi were to get serious, there's at least an 80% chance he'd be instantly killed.
They are no longer on the same level.
Diao Xiong turned to Xu Shengchao: "What should we do?"
Xu Shengchao steeled his heart and immediately tossed Wen Ruoxu to Diao Xiong: "You take the young master away, I'll stop him!"
"..."
Diao Xiong's eyes flickered.
He was ordered by Lin Yi to infiltrate Wen Ruoxu's inner circle, and today was the perfect time to close the net.
However, at that moment, Lin Yi suddenly sent a thought into his mind.
Diao Xiong paused for a moment, then immediately suppressed his strange feelings and continued to flee towards Zhongjun with Wen Ruoxu and Wang Baoquan on his back, while not forgetting to turn around and say goodbye to Xu Shengchao.
"Take care of yourself."
Xu Shengchao nodded slightly, watching Diao Xiong lead his men away. He then took a deep breath and resolutely went to meet Lin Yi behind him.
Lin Yi stopped in his tracks: "Are you prepared to die in Wen Ruoxu's place? I've heard about how Wen Ruoxu has treated you. Is it worth it?"
"There's no such thing as worth it or not."
Xu Shengchao's expression was firm: "No matter how the young master treats me, he has shown me kindness and camaraderie, and I will never betray him!"
No matter how suspicious Wen Ruoxu was, he remained loyal to Wen Ruoxu.
Lin Yi laughed upon hearing this, "That's loyal enough."
He wasn't surprised at all; the person in question was simply following the righteous path, and was not born to be a two-faced villain.
Xu Shengchao held his breath and focused his mind, then assumed a fighting stance.
He didn't know how long he could hold off Lin Yi, but even if he could only block one move, he would do it without hesitation.
Lin Yi suddenly teased, "You're loyal to Wen Ruoxu, but you're ungrateful to me. Is that really okay?"
Xu Shengchao's face stiffened.
He naturally hadn't forgotten his promise to Lin Yi.
Having reached this point, no matter what choice he makes, he will ultimately betray his own path.
A true man knows what to do and what not to do.
Xu Shengchao's expression was extremely solemn: "I am incompetent and have failed in my duties. Even if I am punished by the Great Dao, it is my just deserts. If I can save your life today, I will die without regret."
Lin Yi was moved.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a tangible will to die in a person.
This person is a man of great integrity, and if one were to point out any shortcomings, one could actually find many.
But no matter how many shortcomings he has, they cannot overshadow his purity.
Reaching this level and still maintaining such purity of skill is truly rare.
Lin Yi immediately said, "There's a solution that satisfies both sides. Would you like to hear it?"
Xu Shengchao was taken aback upon hearing this: "What kind of win-win solution?"
Lin Yiyu said with a playful tone, "From now on, you will be at my command. I will let Wen Ruoxu go today, so that will fulfill our agreement and you won't have let Wen Ruoxu down. How about it?"
"..."
Xu Shengchao looked bewildered.
He certainly knew his own worth, but he genuinely didn't believe that his worth could compare to Wen Ruoxu's.
Even a fool would know that Wen Ruoxu is Lin Yi's biggest threat right now.
As long as Wen Ruoxu lives, Lin Yin's position as the governor of Nanjun will always be in jeopardy.
Is it worth leaving such a huge hidden danger just to recruit yourself?
Xu Shengchao's first reaction was that Lin Yi had miscalculated.
If Lin Yi didn't possess that overwhelming and terrifying strength, his current combat power might still be somewhat of a measure.
Looking at it now, even if he were to join forces with them, it would only be icing on the cake for Lin Yi.
Is it really necessary?
Despite his doubts, Xu Shengchao was still somewhat flattered by Lin Yi's attitude.
"Are you serious?"
Xu Shengchao couldn't help but suspect that Lin Yi was cheating, but he immediately slapped himself twice.
In this situation, is there any need for Lin Yi to play tricks on him?
Lin Yi nodded solemnly: "It's absolutely true. Brother Xu is a rare talent. If I could exchange Wen Ruoxu for Brother Xu's joining, I would be more than happy to do so!"
In an instant, Xu Shengchao couldn't help but have a thought.
A scholar dies for a confidant!
These days, under Wen Ruoxu's command, he has been constantly suspected and cursed by Wang Baoquan, suffering far more than a little bit of humiliation.
Although he valued loyalty above all else and refused to betray Wen Ruoxu, he was ultimately a man of principle.
Who would willingly put up with this nonsense?
In contrast, Lin Yi showed him such high regard from the very beginning, even placing him above Wen Ruoxu in his position.
Even Xu Shengchao, whose righteousness is unparalleled throughout the ages, couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and joy.
Turning his head to glance at Diao Xiong and his two companions who had already crossed the border and were rapidly disappearing into the distance, Xu Shengchao took a deep breath and immediately knelt down in front of Lin Yi.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master. I, Xu Shengchao, am willing to die for you!"
Xu Shengchao is on the list of those offered amnesty!
Lin Yi was overjoyed upon seeing this: "Excellent! With Brother Xu by my side today, I am like a tiger with wings!"
This is not just a polite remark.
Xu Shengchao's current combat strength is indeed not enough in front of Lin Yi himself, but he has a solid foundation and great potential.
Given enough resources, he has every opportunity to go further and surpass all the top combatants!
Most importantly, this person is a man of unwavering loyalty, whose loyalty was at its peak the moment he entered the list.
This is a truly reliable person you can entrust your back to!
While the two were talking, Lin Yi suddenly turned to look at Zhongjun.
The next second, it was activated, and its figure flashed as it chased after the enemy.
Xu Shengchao was completely dumbfounded.
No, I just agreed, isn't it too quick to back out?
Without time to think it through, Xu Shengchao quickly caught up.
He didn't really believe Lin Yi would go back on his word. After all, even if he did, it wouldn't be so stupid to do it to his face.
However, just in case, he still wanted to keep an eye on things himself.
After counting the breaths.
The two have crossed the border and entered the territory of Zhongjun.
The moment he crossed the border, Xu Shengchao's eyelids twitched violently. Dozens of powerful auras suddenly appeared in front of him, including no fewer than eight top-tier combatants!
The leader was ruddy-faced and pot-bellied, wearing a dazzling yellow robe. At first glance, he looked like a lecherous old man who had indulged in too much drinking and womanizing.
However, the aura emanating from this person overwhelmed everyone else, and he was able to subtly rival Lin Yi!
"Wang Shide!"
Xu Shengchao gasped.
This is the territory of Zhongjun, and he is the governor of Zhongjun, so it is perfectly reasonable for him to be here.
The current formation clearly indicates that all the elite troops have been deployed, and it seems they are preparing for a decisive battle.
