Chapter 12468

Lin Yi spread his hands and said, "It's only natural to be afraid of death. Since Miss Ji is also afraid of death, she should be more frank and say it. Don't deceive yourself."

Ji Ruxin's face turned deathly pale.

At that moment, her entire belief began to waver.

Things I once thought were absolutely right have begun to crumble mercilessly.

Her instincts were fighting against her beliefs.

In the end, Ji Ruxin collapsed to the ground, powerless. The winner and loser were obvious.

Lin Yi shook his head slightly.

Ji Ruxin is clearly a target pushed out by the aristocratic families. If she is killed directly, and someone else is pushing things along, it would mean that they have completely turned against the entire Tianjun County.

It will probably be difficult for them to establish themselves in Tianjun again in the future.

It's one thing to not want public approval, but it's quite another to become a public enemy.

Killing him would be an omen of misfortune.

However, while one cannot kill a person, one can still destroy their spirit.

Ji Ruxin dared not look at Lin Yi again.

However, at this moment, screams came from all directions, and each one felt like a sharp awl hitting Ji Ruxin's heart.

A heart that was not strong to begin with was soon riddled with holes.

Lin Yi sighed softly, "Just watch closely, this is all the mess you've made."

Before, Ji Ruxin would have had a million words ready to refute her, but now she was speechless.

These are the people she instigated, and now that the situation is out of control, she is unwilling to sacrifice her life for them.

All the cause and effect of death and injury should be attributed to her.

At this time.

Suddenly, hundreds of powerful and fierce auras emerged from the surrounding area.

"Tiger Tiger Group! The Tiger Tiger Group has arrived!"

As the most notorious of the twelve Heavenly Palace Groups, the arrival of the Tiger Group had an immediate and significant effect.

The previously uncontrollable chaos was brought to a temporary halt.

However, the chaos only lasted a few seconds before it resumed.

Pang Jingde coldly ordered, "Separate them!"

Hundreds of Tiger Group experts immediately charged into the crowd like wolves and tigers.

Every single one of them who made it into the Tiger Group was a ruthless and fearless individual.

These people were ruthless and cruel, even towards the people of Tianjun, their ruthlessness surpassing that of Lü Bukui and his group.

In just a few breaths, the number of people injured at their hands was already no less than four figures.

The good news is that, through this group's domineering herding-style operation, the people who were originally crowded together were forcibly divided into hundreds of pieces.

Once the crowd is separated, restoring order becomes much easier.

The situation was finally brought under control.

Ji Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief, and then, seeing Pang Jingde leading his men over, she immediately regained some confidence.

Lin Yi's probing questions just now almost shattered her Dao heart.

Fortunately, she managed to stay calm.

"Justice will not lose to injustice!"

Ji Ruxin slowly stood up and looked at Lin Yi again.

She didn't know why the powerful families had suddenly withdrawn, but she was certain of one thing: the powerful families supporting her behind the scenes were not just one or two.

Moreover, she had received very clear instructions.

The Tiger Group is on their side.

If the situation gets out of control, the Tiger Group will step in to bail them out.

Lin Yi looked at her calmly and agreed wholeheartedly: "That makes sense."

Ji Ruxin was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Isn't it too late to repent now?"

"What have I regretted?"

Lin Yi looked at him strangely: "Justice will always prevail, because only the victorious side can be defined as just."

Ji Ruxin choked: "Nonsense!"

At this moment, Pang Jingde had already led his men to approach.

That fierce and violent aura was enough to make anyone unable to lift their head.

Of course, Lin Yi was an exception.

With his current level of strength, even if the five sages of the aristocratic families were to stand before him, he would at most be on equal footing.

As the deputy leader of the Tiger Group, Pang Jingde's strength was already among the top of the deputy leaders of the Twelve Groups of the Heavenly Palace. Unfortunately, he was no match for Lin Yi.

Sure enough, even from ten steps away, he could still strut around with an imposing presence.

As soon as he stepped within ten steps, Pang Jingde suddenly staggered and almost knelt on one knee.

Forcibly regaining his balance, Pang Jingde looked at Lin Yi again with eyes full of apprehension.

"As expected of the Emperor of the End, he is indeed unfathomable."

Little did they know that Lin Yi was deliberately holding back, merely suppressing it to the range of a six-zhang Dharma form.

If he were to unleash his full power, not only Pang Jingde, but everyone present would be unable to stand here.

Within ten steps, each step became extremely difficult for Pang Jingde, and the closer he got to Lin Yi, the greater the difficulty became.

In the end, even lifting his feet became incredibly difficult.

The once vigorous deputy leader of the Tiger Group eventually became a follower.

Pang Jingde's heart was immediately filled with shock: Just how strong was this person?
According to his intelligence, this Emperor of the End was only a six-zhang Dharma Aspect expert. When did a six-zhang Dharma Aspect expert become so monstrous?

He's dealt with plenty of powerful figures with five-zhang-long Dharma forms, and even those monsters aren't this terrifying, are they?

After taking three steps, Pang Jingde finally stopped.

Ji Ruxin looked at him expectantly: "Deputy Team Leader Pang, thank you for your trouble."

As a result, Pang Jingde didn't even glance at her, and directly cupped his hands to Lin Yi: "Pang Jingde of the Tiger Group greets the Emperor of Termination."

Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Deputy Team Leader Pang."

Ji Ruxin, standing to the side, felt utterly bewildered.

From her perspective, the Tiger Group's massive deployment must be aimed at this Emperor of Termination.

Otherwise, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Then she saw Pang Jingde turn to her and say, "Miss Ji, come with me."

Ji Ruxin: "Huh?"

No, is that right?

Ji Ruxin pointed at herself incredulously: "You're going to arrest me?"

Pang Jingde spoke in a businesslike tone: "This matter has caused quite a stir today, and we need Miss Ji's cooperation. Let's go."

Without hesitation, he ordered Ji Ruxin to be taken away.

Ji Ruxin was dumbfounded.

She also came from a prominent family. Although the Ji family could only be considered a third-rate family and was not particularly noticeable in Tianjun, where wealthy families gathered, this background itself was a protective shield in Tianjun.

Unless a matter of principle is involved, it is extremely rare for scions of prominent families to go to jail.

What is a matter of principle?
It has nothing to do with the most basic principles of fairness and morality. The core principle of judgment is only one: whether or not it will harm the interests of the Heavenly Palace.

Although Ji Ruxin was the central figure in today's events, many powerful families were behind her, pulling the strings and adding fuel to the fire.

Most importantly, none of her actions harmed the interests of the Heavenly Palace.

On the contrary, from her and many others' perspectives, this was helping the Heavenly Palace.

After all, the Terminator is an unofficial force.
