Chapter 12436

Is this to establish a separate heavenly palace?

"That definitely needs to be addressed."

Immediately, many high-ranking officials from the Heavenly Palace spoke out.

Now that things have come to this, what Lin Yi did specifically, or even if he did anything at all, is no longer important.

The mere fact that this group of second-generation rich kids has gathered is a major event that cannot be ignored!

If things go wrong, this could be a force capable of shaking the very foundation of the Heavenly Palace. Who would dare to be careless?
Upon seeing this, Liu Aozhi immediately made a decision: "Order the Tiger Group to immediately shut down the Termination Society!"

This is his purpose.

At their level, the evidence itself is not important; what matters most is whether you pose a threat.

"Wait a minute, is it appropriate to take action to seal off the property based on just a few words?"

This time, it was Kong Jisheng who spoke.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became subtle.

As the head of the Kong family, Kong Jisheng represents the will of Confucius. Once he speaks, his words carry far more weight than those of the heads of other top-tier families.

After all, if it's not done well, it would be going against Confucius.

Even Liu Aozhi had to think it over carefully.

Liu Aozhi's eyes flickered, and he carefully chose his tone, saying, "Brother Kong, please don't misunderstand. I'm not saying that all the second-generation disciples who participated in the Termination Meeting have problems. They have been influenced by their families since childhood, so they can naturally distinguish right from wrong and good from evil."

"People are just worried that they are young and naive, and will be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives without realizing it."

"We must nip problems in the bud, otherwise if we allow them to escalate and become uncontrollable, it could even end up hurting our loved ones and pleasing our enemies, which would be terrible."

The implication is that Kong Jisheng's remarks were definitely for his daughter's sake.

After all, Kong Qianqiu was also involved.

Kong Jisheng said calmly, "As Steward Liu also said, they can distinguish right from wrong and good from evil, so they naturally know what they should and shouldn't do. The people we've trained aren't useless, so how could they be easily manipulated?"

Li Chengyuan laughed and said, "That makes sense."

On the other side, Cao Mang followed up with an attack: "Chief Steward Liu, is this whole thing aimed at the Emperor himself, or at our families? Explain yourself!"

"..."

Liu Aozhi choked for a moment.

Of course, he couldn't say that he was targeting these families, otherwise, if several powerful figures attacked together, even he, the Grand Steward of Tianjun, wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, if he were to announce it publicly and directly attack the Emperor of Ending, it would also be risky for him.

After all, in his mind, the other party had the Supreme Emperor standing behind them.

It's understandable to shut down the Termination Association in the name of the Heavenly Palace, but what's the meaning of you, the Grand Steward of the Heavenly County, specifically targeting my people and openly naming them?
Do you dislike me, the Supreme Emperor?
However, Liu Aozhi was not alone after all.

Other bigwigs immediately chimed in, "You don't need to be so sensitive. The finale is making such a big fuss, especially since it concerns the core of the industry. It's necessary to regulate it."

Kong Jisheng said calmly, "It's not easy for Tianjun to have the order it has today. We must abide by the rules we set for ourselves, otherwise we will be digging our own graves."

"It's not that the 'Termination Committee' can't be shut down, but it needs a solid reason."

"We must obtain empirical evidence, and we must have a legitimate reason for our actions."

"Otherwise, if we set this precedent, who can guarantee it won't escalate and affect everyone's interests?"

"Will the one who started this practice have no descendants?"

The man immediately fell silent.

The other bigwigs either nodded in agreement or remained silent; debating with the Confucian family was simply asking for trouble.

Liu Aozhi, of course, was not willing to give up.

The words had already been spoken; if he were to back down now, where would the Grand Steward of Tianjun's reputation be?
"Brother Kong is right."

Liu Aozhi could only back down and said, "It's basically confirmed that Fan Hong and the others have disappeared from the Termination Society. Even if we don't directly shut it down, sending people into the Termination Society to investigate shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kong Jisheng nodded slightly: "That's only natural."

After all, the Kong family was a prominent family in Tianjun. They could help Lin Yi with some things, but they couldn't go too far.

Liu Aozhi immediately prepared to order someone to be dispatched.

Just then, a subordinate suddenly came to report.

"Fan Hong and the others are back?"

Liu Aozhi was stunned, his expression changing rapidly. He immediately called Fan Hong and the others to the Heavenly Palace Round Table.

Looking at the disheveled and disheveled Fan Hong and his six companions, the group of bigwigs exchanged bewildered glances.

Liu Aozhi frowned and asked, "What did you go there for?"

Fan Hong replied helplessly, "Reporting to the chief steward, I received a message that someone in the Termination Society was plotting evil, so I borrowed a few brothers from the Tiger Tiger Group to investigate, but it turned out to be a false alarm."

"that's it?"

Liu Aozhi frowned even more.

Fan Hong was his man, and he had witnessed the whole affair from beginning to end. Although there was some inefficiency in his work, strictly speaking, he had done his best.

After all, no one had ever imagined that the Emperor of the End would be so powerful.

Even with Fan Hong's strength, he was completely overwhelmed.

It can only be said that the fault was not due to war.

If we have to shift the blame, the biggest blame actually falls on Liu Aozhi, since he chose to be a coward at the last moment and didn't personally get involved.

To Liu Aozhi's surprise, after causing such a huge commotion, Lin Yi actually released the person.

Is it because they're too timid?
Or are they just too arrogant and don't take Fan Hong and his group seriously at all?

However, if he were in Lin Yi's position, he wouldn't have gone so far as to kill Fan Hong and the others.

If we were to do that, it would be declaring war on the Heavenly Palace.

Fan Hong and the others exchanged glances, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "That's true."

Kong Jisheng spoke up at the right moment: "Since it has been confirmed to be a false alarm, there is nothing more to say. Let's observe the situation regarding the Termination Meeting for a while before making any further decisions."

Li Chengyuan and his group immediately followed suit.

"Brother Kong is absolutely right."

Liu Aozhi had no choice but to accept it, even if it meant refusing to admit it.

The news from the Heavenly Palace quickly reached the headquarters of the Termination Society.

After all, Lin Yi now has a lot of information from the Heavenly Palace. Whether it's Lu Bukui's side or Li Tianguo's group of second-generation elites, he has the most timely first-hand information.

Lin Yi was not surprised at all.

As long as Fan Hong and the others return, at least on the surface, the Heavenly Palace will have no reason to cause trouble.

Of course, he didn't just let Fan Hong and the others go for nothing.

These are all rare experts, and ready-made pawns. With Jiang Xiaoshang's assistance, Lin Yi took advantage of the timing and successfully got Fan Hong and the other six into the list.

In this way, not only was the Heavenly Palace stabilized, but a handful of sand were also successfully mixed into the Heavenly Palace's Twelve Groups.

Neither Fan Hong nor the five experts of the Yin Hu group occupied a core position and could substantially influence the actions of the Twelve Heavenly Palace Groups.

But for Lin Yi, these were all rare spies and eyes.

If the timing is right, it could become a ready-made tool; this is just the beginning of the infiltration of the Heavenly Palace Twelve Groups. (End of Chapter)
