Chapter 12462

Lin Yi suddenly thought of Liu Aozhi.

Think back carefully, and you'll see how similar the logic of the whole set of actions is!

Liu Aozhi went bankrupt trying to win a spot for the Four-Zhang Dharma Image, but in the end, he failed.

So now, as a whole, with the tacit approval of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families, or more precisely, with the behind-the-scenes push of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families, what is the Heavenly Palace trying to achieve?
In the current situation in Tianjun, any industry that is even slightly related to the gray market is in chaos, except for the Termination Society, where things are going exceptionally well.

This is the complete opposite of the situation when the event ended and was in the spotlight.

This immediately made everyone feel resentful.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Why?
Especially since the track management bill was just introduced a few days ago, and they just mentioned that they would implement progressive taxation, the goal is clearly to eliminate the emperor. Why has there been a sudden silence?
A woman named Ji Ruxin publicly declared that the bill must be applied equally to everyone and must be strictly enforced on the Emperor of the End, otherwise it would be unfair to others!

As a result, before Lin Yi could react, Liu Aozhi, the chief steward of Tianjun, personally came out to express his opinion.

"Effective immediately, I, in my capacity as steward, grant the Emperor of the End immunity."

These words caused an uproar in Tianjun.

No?

Can you still play like this?

The bill they introduced themselves turned out to grant the End Emperor an exemption. So, after all that, the target wasn't the End Emperor or those aristocratic scions; it was all aimed at ordinary people?

The crowd was immediately agitated.

Ji Ruxin immediately called out again, demanding that Liu Aozhi give a clear reason.

Liu Ao's reasoning was simple: the Emperor of Ending the World had made outstanding contributions to the Heavenly Palace. As for the specifics of those contributions, they were currently kept secret and could not be disclosed to the public at this time.

To be honest, Lin Yi was stunned when he saw this answer.

It's expected that the Heavenly Palace won't take action against the Termination Society again in the short term. The reason he went all out against the Demon Slayer Squad was to create a deterrent effect.

If any of the five sages of the aristocratic families had any sense, they would not have acted rashly.

However, Liu Aozhi's willingness to accept such humiliation was still far beyond his expectations.

This explanation is naturally not very convincing.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people might not feel anything, but now, due to the comprehensive crackdown on the gray industry, many people who used to make a living from it have been affected.

The people of Tianjun were initially overjoyed by Liu Aozhi's bold and decisive actions, feeling that it was a great relief to them.

But once it involves oneself, or even if the demise of the gray industry leads to the loss of one's livelihood, that's a different story.

Suddenly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the end of the event was once again thrust into the spotlight.

Since no one dared to directly target Liu Aozhi himself, let alone the Heavenly Palace, the final meeting became their only outlet for emotional outburst.

A massive wave of anti-termination movement immediately swept through Tianjun.

Lin Yi didn't have any particular thoughts on this.

All he wanted was to steadily earn godhood fragments from the racetrack. As long as this wasn't substantially disrupted, a little backlash from public opinion wouldn't affect him much.

Ultimately, Lin Yi never intended to take power in Tianjun. Whether the public opinion supported him or opposed him, it was all the same thing, with no real difference.

Until, suddenly, an uninvited guest arrived.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched slightly as he watched the mysterious man, shrouded in a black robe, quietly appear at the headquarters of the Termination Society.

"It is a rare honor to have the Grand Steward of Tianjun grace us with his presence."

Lin Yi immediately recognized the other party's identity. At the same time, he looked up and saw that there was an elaborate layer of concealment above the sky, making it impossible for outsiders to detect anything. It was obviously the other party's doing.

Liu Aozhi lifted his black robe, looked Lin Yi up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Seeing is believing. I have long admired you."

Lin Yi chuckled inwardly.

If the other party knew that the spot for the four-zhang Dharma Image was in their hands, I wonder if they could still maintain this calm and composed demeanor.

Lin Yi asked meaningfully, "Steward Liu, you've come uninvited today. Is there something you want to discuss with me?"

"It's true."

Liu Aozhi paused, then changed the subject: "However, the person I want to see is not you, but the senior behind you."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "My senior? I don't know what you're talking about."

The more he acted this way, the more convinced Liu Aozhi became.

Liu Aozhi said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Since everyone already knows some things, there's no need to keep them hidden any longer. It's better to be frank and speak openly."

Lin Yi gave him a deep look, and finally shrugged: "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Steward Liu."

"..."

Liu Aozhi was indeed somewhat disappointed.

His coming here today, deliberately avoiding the eyes and ears of the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families, was actually quite risky.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the Five Saints of the aristocratic families found out about his actions today, even if they didn't kill him outright, he would definitely not have a good time afterward.

The fact that the four-zhang-tall Dharma-form master behind the secret meeting was merely an attempt was, in the eyes of the Five Saints of the aristocratic families, a betrayal.

There are countless examples of what happens to traitors in the Heavenly Palace.

Lin Yi immediately dismissed him, saying, "If there's nothing else, Steward Liu, please leave."

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Aozhi finally made up his mind and said, "I can understand your concerns, senior, but since I'm here today, I must deliver my sincerity."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "Steward Liu, please speak frankly."

"I'm here today to deliver an incredible opportunity to the senior behind you."

Liu Aozhi's words immediately stunned Lin Yi: "Regarding the quota for the Three-Zhang Dharma Form."

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched: "A quota for the three-zhang Dharma Form?"

With the help of the track development team, he is now rapidly accumulating godhood fragments and is about to reach his goal.

The most crucial issue for taking things a step further is the number of places available for the Three-Zhang Dharma Image.

Just when I was about to doze off, someone came to bring me a pillow.

However, Lin Yi's first reaction was to be alert.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially when the timing is so perfect.

When faced with any coincidence, a master's first reaction is always to check if there's a trap behind it.

Lin Yi looked at Liu Aozhi strangely: "You have a quota for the Three-Zhang Dharma Form?"

This guy doesn't even have a four-zhang Dharma form quota. If you say he has a three-zhang Dharma form quota, who would believe it?
"Not now."

Liu Aozhi was unusually candid at this moment, and then added, "But if everything goes well next, it will be available soon."

Lin Yi squinted and remained silent.

The word "disbelief" was written all over his face.

Liu Aozhi didn't seem to care.

He didn't come here today to talk to Lin Yi, the Emperor of Termination. He wanted to talk to the four-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect expert behind Lin Yi who had wiped out the Demon Slaughtering Squad.

Whether the other party believes it or not is irrelevant; as long as that four-zhang-tall Dharma-form expert believes it, that's enough.
