Chapter 12397

This matter is of great importance; even a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Palace must avoid any appearance of impropriety.

If he gets caught again this time, his fate won't be so pleasant.

Bi Yang immediately had the idea of ​​running away as well.

However, before he could make a move, the clouds in the sky above suddenly dissipated, and a colossal pillar, carrying immense power, crashed down.

The location they locked onto was Kong Xuan, who was fleeing in panic.

Kong Xuan suddenly froze.

Not only him, but Lin Yi and the others were also frozen in place by that inexplicable force and unable to move.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched violently.

What's falling in front of us isn't a pillar at all, it's clearly a finger!

Kong Xuan, who had been so domineering in front of everyone, giving the impression that he could do whatever he wanted in Tianjun, was actually crushed by a single finger.

However, Kong Xuan did not die suddenly.

The Great Dao entity, having unknowingly taken credit for the Heavenly Merit, stood above him, shielding him from this calamity.

Unfortunately, it only held out for a brief moment.

The physical body of the Great Dao shattered with a deafening roar, leaving Kong Xuan completely unprotected, his face filled with terror.

This was the first time Lin Yi had ever seen such uncontrollable panic on his face.

There were even pleas.

The piercing finger didn't stop there; it continued to press down, flattening Kong Xuan along with his despair, while also clearly making a twisting motion.

Like crushing a bedbug.

Kong Xuan's breath completely dissipated, leaving only a flat pile of ashes; he was dead beyond any doubt.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Lin Yi secretly gasped.

To be honest, he was quite proud of himself for mastering the Ultimate Divine Eye, after all, he could easily crush even a master of Kong Xuan's caliber.

And then I saw this scene.

Both were instances of one-sided domination, but the two were worlds apart.

The thought of how different his fate would be if the other party had targeted him instead of Kong Xuan sent chills down Lin Yi's spine.

Unless they escape to a new world, it's hard to say their fate will be any better than Kong Xuan's.

The bucket of ice water instantly sobered Lin Yi up.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

Kong Xuan is dead, but the crisis is not over. Lin Yi is still immobilized by that inexplicable power, and even with his intermediate-level divine body, he is unable to break free.

Fortunately, after that towering finger was raised again, it slowly disappeared into the clouds above the nine heavens and did not fall down again.

At least for now, it seems that the other party has no intention of crushing him.

However, Lin Yi was still unable to move.

At this moment, Lü Bukui's expression changed, and without any warning, he vanished into thin air.

On the other hand, Bi Yang looked around in terror, then ignored Lin Yi and sneaked away into a distant corner.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

That guy can move, but I can't?

This is clearly being targeted!
Based on everything that had just happened, Lin Yi could naturally guess who the owner of that finger was, and that Lü Bukui was being taken away to question him about the inside story.

Lin Yi wasn't sure how long Lü Bukui could hold out.

To be precise, he didn't know how many secrets Lü Bukui could keep.

If Lü Bukui's surrender to the emperor is exposed, it's hard to say how that person will react.

If things go wrong, we might really end up like Kong Xuan.

Lin Yi silently enveloped himself with the will of the world, knowing that if anything went wrong, he would have to hide in the new world immediately.

Although this comes at a heavy price—not only will he be unable to continue earning rewards from the race, but he may also have his identity as an ancient god cultivator discovered—he has no other choice when it comes to that.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Every second felt incredibly long, and Lin Yi finally experienced what it meant for a second to feel like an eternity.

Finally, the inexplicable immense force pressing down on him quietly dissipated.

As Lin Yi was re-mobilizing his limbs and pondering silently, Lü Bukui suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Son."

Lu Bukui was covered in cold sweat, clearly quite frightened.

Lin Yi didn't reply, but looked up at the sky.

Lu Bukui shook his head and said, "It's alright. I reported everything that just happened to my master in detail, and my master has decided to let it go."

Even so, Lin Yi still quietly scanned the area with the World Will, and only after confirming that no intent was spying on him did he finally feel relieved.

Lu Bukui suddenly knelt down with a thud, his face full of guilt, and said, "I am sorry, young master. I dare not hide anything from my master and have also told him about my defection to you. Please punish me, young master."

"..."

Lin Yi had anticipated this, but when it actually came to this, he was still speechless.

The good news is that even if his true identity is exposed, at most people will only know that he, Lin Yi, is the mysterious person on the racetrack.

It will have some impact on what he's going to do next, but it's hard to say how much of an impact it will have.

After all, it was only a matter of time before this identity was exposed.

Lin Yi glanced at Lü Bukui's loyalty level.

ninety.

Compared to before, it has not decreased, but has actually increased.

In other words, Lü Bu Kui viewed this act of revealing his identity as a way of expressing loyalty.

He knew his master all too well, and compared to taking a huge risk to do something unrealistic and concealing it, being honest was the wiser choice.

Lin Yi waved his hand: "There's nothing we can do about it, I don't blame you."

"Thank you for your understanding, young master."

Lu Bukui breathed a sigh of relief. This matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal. If Lin Yi really believed that what he did was a betrayal, he would have no room for argument.

Lin Yi then said, "Recite exactly what you said."

Lu Bukui nodded repeatedly and immediately repeated every word he had said to Lin Yi without missing a single detail.

After hearing this, Lin Yi finally felt relieved.

Judging from what Lü Bukui said, his identity could no longer be hidden, but ultimately it did not involve anything truly sensitive.

In fact, Lü Bukui's knowledge was indeed very limited. Apart from knowing that he was Lin Yi, he didn't have any other substantial information.

Lin Yi then asked, "What was your master's reaction after hearing that?"

"that……"

Lu Bukui said cautiously, "My master asked me to tell you the name of the old man."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback: "What title?"

Lu Bukui nodded solemnly: "The Supreme Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was startled and immediately felt a supreme will cast a meaningful glance at him from the darkness.

Although it was only a fleeting glance, the feeling it gave Lin Yi was as unforgettable as if it lasted for eternity.

"The Supreme Emperor..."

Lin Yi silently pondered the deeper meaning behind the other party's words.

Before this, he had already anticipated that the other party was unfathomable, and deliberately instructed Lü Bukui not to mention the other party's name, and to refer to him as "that person" when he did mention it, for fear of attracting the other party's attention.
