Chapter 12463

Liu Aozhi continued, "The Heavenly Palace has been focusing all its efforts on accumulating wealth recently, with only one goal: to purchase the quota for the Three-Zhang Dharma Image."

Lin Yi was skeptical: "Can these spots really be bought?"

The transaction of the four-zhang Dharma Image quota alone was a huge pitfall, burying even the current Tianjun Chief Steward in it.

If it were a quota for a three-zhang-tall Dharma image, it would be more than one order of magnitude higher.
Liu Aozhi said quietly, "Do you think the five sages of the aristocratic families made this decision unanimously? Do you think they are so easily fooled?"

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, from his perspective, fraud never discriminates between the strong and the weak, the young and the old.

If Liu Aozhi could be deceived, then the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families could certainly be deceived as well.

In the eyes of a true con artist, there is no essential difference between the two; in some ways, it is even more difficult to deceive Liu Aozhi.

After all, the older people get, the more rigid their thinking becomes, and the more likely they are to be targeted and deceived.

Even the Five Sages of the Noble Families, as powerful as they are, cannot transcend this limitation.

However, since the other party is taking this so seriously, it at least shows that the Heavenly Palace is indeed doing this.

This aligns with Lin Yi's previous assessment.

Lin Yi asked curiously, "As you said, since this matter was decided by the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families, you shouldn't be able to influence the allocation of the three-zhang Dharma Aspect quota, right?"

Liu Aozhi was certainly a remarkable person.

In this matter, he really didn't have any real influence; at best, he was just someone who ran errands and did the dirty work.

Liu Aozhi, however, looked confident: "What if I said I could?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Liu Aozhi said solemnly, "I cannot say more about the specific details, but I can swear to the heavens that I do have a way to influence the allocation of the three-zhang Dharma Image quota."

"I wouldn't dare say there's a 100% success rate, but there's always a 50% chance."

"So my question is, is the senior figure behind you interested in competing with him?"

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What do you want to get?"

Liu Aozhi was delighted upon hearing this.

From his perspective, Lin Yi must have been communicating with that four-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect expert just now. Since he asked that question, it meant that the other party was interested.

Liu Aozhi said solemnly, "I only ask for a good connection. If you can really obtain the three-zhang Dharma Image quota, I hope you can take care of the Liu family in the future. I dare not ask for anything else."

Lin Yi asked in surprise, "That's it?"

"That's it."

Liu Aozhi said with utmost sincerity, "I have offended you in many ways before, Emperor of the End. I hope you will forgive me for bringing you this opportunity."

Lin Yi gave him a deep look.

Such a powerful and ruthless figure has profound meaning in every word and action.

Although they had not directly clashed before, they had been at odds with each other both openly and covertly. If things had continued as they were supposed to, they would have inevitably ended up flipping the table.

Unexpectedly, Liu Aozhi suddenly pulled this stunt.

A complete 180-degree turn.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

It's not that such things are absolutely unbelievable, but Lin Yi needs to figure out the logic behind them first.

Otherwise, you won't even know when you've fallen into a pit.

Lin Yi suddenly said, "Your breathing is disordered; you don't have much time left?"

Liu Aozhi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Lin Yi with shock, but then he felt relieved.

In his mind, Lin Yi, the Great Emperor of the End, was only a six-zhang Dharma Form, far inferior to himself, so naturally he couldn't see through his true strength.

However, behind the other party stood a mysterious, four-zhang-tall (approximately 6.6 meters) Dharma Master.

That makes sense.

Liu Aozhi remained silent and did not deny it.

This is the case.

At this moment, through the perspective of the world's will, Lin Yi could clearly sense that the other party's vital energy was rapidly dissipating.

Like a tire punctured by a nail, the leak may not be very noticeable at first, but as time goes by, it will inevitably become more and more serious.

It was only a matter of time before the tires went completely flat.

Thinking about the other party's various actions recently, Lin Yi immediately realized.

This Grand Steward of Tianjun had already reached a critical point; if he didn't advance, he would fall behind. That's why he risked everything to acquire a four-zhang Dharma Form, only to lose the gamble.

Losing this round will not only mean defeat for him personally, but also for the entire Liu family of Tianjun.

Therefore, Liu Aozhi had to find a way to clean up the mess.

His own fate was already sealed, but before he fell, he had to find a way to survive for the Liu family of Tianjun.

So he took the initiative to do the dirty work for the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Family.

The dignified Grand Administrator of Tianjun, disguised as a four-zhang-tall Dharma Image, can be said to be the sharpest blade in the history of Tianjun.

This knife is so fast that it can wipe out all the shady businesses, leaving all the powerful families, big and small, angry but unable to speak out.

However, the more this is the case, the more severe the backlash will inevitably be one day in the future.

Being used as a weapon by others never ends well.

But Liu Aozhi didn't care.

All he needed was for the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families to fulfill their promise to protect the Liu family after his demise, giving them a chance to rise again. That was all.

However, the fact that Liu Aozhi is here means that he does not completely trust the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families.

While the reputation of the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Family is certainly good, it doesn't mean they won't betray those who have served their purpose.

Isn't this massive crackdown on illicit activities essentially a case of crossing the river and then burning the bridge?
If they hadn't tacitly approved it, how could the major families have possibly created such a large-scale illicit industry?

The whole scheme was clearly a case of fattening someone up before killing them; the only difference was that they themselves didn't get involved, but instead made Liu Aozhi the villain.

Therefore, Liu Aozhi wanted to bet on both sides.

Even at the risk of being discovered by the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan, he wanted to resolve the previous unpleasantness with Lin Yi and leave a good impression on this four-zhang Dharma Aspect expert from the Termination Association.

In this way, no matter who has the last laugh, the Liu family of Tianjun will still be taken care of and have a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi sighed slightly: "Steward Liu has put a lot of thought into this. I will help pass on your message."

Liu Aozhi's eyes lit up.

Since Lin Yi said that, it means he has the permission of the big boss behind him.

"Thank you."

Liu Aozhi was about to leave immediately.

With the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan above him, every second he stays here increases the risk.

Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and said, "If you want to get your hands on the spot for the Three-Zhang Dharma Image, it's best not to have too many entanglements with the public, and especially not to stand on the side of the public."

Lin Yi looked puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

Liu Aozhi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's just hearsay. However, the recent actions of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families should be evidence."

After saying that, he quietly left.

Lin Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

For a long time, people from all walks of life in Tianjun have had many grievances against the Heavenly Palace, but they mainly worship the Five Saints of the aristocratic families who have a transcendent status, and very few people would say bad things about the Five Saints of the aristocratic families.
