Chapter 12511

The group exchanged bewildered glances, sharing the same question.

Li Tianguo calmly explained, "It's probably just to keep him sober. The more sober he is, the more real the pain he feels."

The entire room fell silent once again.

Once today's events are over, the entire Tianjun region will likely share a consensus.

Never provoke the End Emperor unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, it would be worse than death!

Li Tianguo was secretly puzzled.

He knew his chairman's temperament very well after spending time with him.

As Lin Yi himself said, he is not exactly a morally upright person, but under normal circumstances, he is definitely not a difficult person to get along with.

Today's actions are truly unusual.

Publicly tormenting Cheng Zhiyu is tantamount to openly forcing the Food Saint himself to take action.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Once the Food Saint enters the fray, it might alarm the entire Five Saints of the aristocratic families, and the whole situation will inevitably spiral out of control!
Or did he conclude that the Food Saint wouldn't dare to participate?
Most importantly, what is his relationship with Gan Niannian?
Li Tianguo didn't know the full extent of Lin Yi's strategy, but he was certain of one thing: the core reason for Lin Yi's extreme anger was Gan Niannian.

The torture continues.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Zhiyu's ten fingernails were all bloody and mangled.

However, before he could even catch his breath, he heard Lin Yi say quietly, "You still have ten toenails left, let's continue."

"..."

One sentence almost scared Cheng Zhiyu to death.

Just then, a powerful aura approached from afar and quickly reached them.

"stop!"

Everyone turned to look.

The newcomer was portly and bore a striking resemblance to the Gourmet Sage, though he was not the Gourmet Sage himself, but rather his chief disciple, Jiang Xuyan.

"Let go of my junior brother!"

Jiang Xuyan immediately revealed his five-zhang-tall Dharma form, unleashing his full aura without reservation.

As the chief disciple of the Food Saint, although not the Food Saint's biological son, he is the number one person in the Food Saint's lineage after the Food Saint in terms of both strength and influence.

His every word and action represents the will of the Food Saint.

However, everyone felt a little disappointed.

Jiang Xuyan's presence means that the Food Saint himself will not personally participate. From the perspective of an observer, this is almost a public show of weakness by the Food Saint towards the Termination Conference.

Otherwise, given Cheng Zhiyu's favor with the emperor, let alone being openly abused like this, even losing a single hair would have resulted in the extermination of his entire family.

Today, the Food Saint was able to restrain himself and not leave the stage.

It’s incredible!
Jiang Xuyan displayed an extremely assertive attitude, directly attempting to snatch the person from Lin Yi's hands.

However, before he could even get close, he was locked onto by an overwhelming will.

A chilling murderous intent emanated from it.

Jiang Xuyan quickly stopped and looked around in surprise and doubt.

He had a premonition that if he didn't stop, he would be instantly killed!

He naturally did not believe that this was pressure from Lin Yi.

That mysterious master with a four-zhang-tall Dharma form!
This is the only explanation.

He knew perfectly well what had happened in the battle between Zhang Baiyu and Nie Huichuan, and naturally knew that Nie Huichuan had been instantly killed by him.

Even a pseudo-four-zhang Dharma form like Nie Huichuan, who was powerful, could only be instantly killed, let alone him.
The reason why the Food Saint dared not personally participate this time was precisely because he was worried about that person.

After all, once he personally gets involved, there's no room for maneuver. What if he really can't win?
The culinary genius couldn't afford to take that risk.

The entire lineage of the Food Saints cannot afford to take this risk.

That's why Jiang Xuyan had to step forward.

Jiang Xuyan reluctantly stopped, took a deep breath and said, "Don't make things difficult for my junior brother anymore. I've brought the person you wanted."

As soon as he finished speaking, several experts from the Food Saint lineage arrived, escorting an iron cage. Inside the cage was the unconscious Gan Niannian.

"Master!"

Shi Dazhu hurriedly stepped forward, but was stopped by the other party.

Lin Yi glanced at it, then immediately released Cheng Zhiyu and flashed over. The iron cage immediately collapsed, and several experts from the Food Saint lineage hurriedly retreated and dodged.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuyan wanted to take Cheng Zhiyu back.

Lin Yi said calmly, "If you take another step, you will die today."

Jiang Xuyan's hair stood on end instantly, and he truly dared not move again.

The onlookers were completely bewildered.

In their eyes, Jiang Xuyan was a big shot in the Cloud Realm. Even if he wasn't the top-level five-zhang Dharma Aspect expert, he was still someone who could sit in the front row of the Heavenly Palace, after all, he was the chief disciple of the Food Saint.

How could such a ruthless person be intimidated by a single sentence?

When did the Food Saint lineage become so easy to talk to?
They couldn't sense that terrifying aura, so they naturally didn't realize what Jiang Xuyan was going through at that moment.

Jiang Xuyan was utterly swearing at this moment.

It wasn't that he was too cowardly; it was just that the other party was truly terrifying, leaving him no choice but to back down.

Even the God of Cookery wouldn't dare to show up in person, let alone him.
Looking again at the miserable Cheng Zhiyu, Jiang Xuyan inwardly grumbled at his junior brother.

Why the hell did you have to mess with this tough nut to crack?
If word gets out about what happened today, the entire lineage of the Food Saint will probably become a laughing stock.

Lin Yi carefully examined Gan Niannian.

It was ultimately determined that there were no external injuries.

However, the absence of external injuries does not mean the absence of internal injuries.

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed, and he turned around to hand Gan Niannian to the anxious Shi Dazhu before returning to Cheng Zhiyu.

Upon seeing Lin Yi's face again, Cheng Zhiyu, already traumatized, immediately trembled all over.

"You...you stay away!"

Lin Yi's tone remained calm: "What is nine hundred and thirty minus seven?"

A single sentence is like the whisper of a devil.

Cheng Zhiyu felt his scalp tingle instantly. As Lin Yi approached again, he didn't dare to utter another howl.

As silent as a cicada.

Watching helplessly as one of his toenails was ripped off, Cheng Zhiyu could only whimper in a tearful voice, not daring to look at Lin Yi even once more.

What is 930 minus 7?

Lin Yi asked again.

Jiang Xuyan finally couldn't stand it any longer and said coldly, "Enough! You are, after all, the Great Emperor of Termination. It's too much to treat a child like this. Isn't it bullying the weak?"

"Is that going too far?"

Lin Yi glanced at him.

Jiang Xu's words caught in his throat, and his voice immediately lowered: "It's just kids playing around, and it didn't cause any real damage. Is it really necessary to escalate things to this point?"

"Are you afraid?"

Lin Yi said indifferently, "My men are still unconscious. The only one who hasn't suffered any real loss is this idiot who is the most precious treasure of your Food Saint lineage. He has done something wrong, and now he has to pay the price for his sins."

Jiang Xuyan was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yi turned his head and continued to stare at Cheng Zhiyu.

Cheng Zhiyu was so frightened that his scalp tingled, and he hurriedly answered, "Nine hundred and twenty-three! Nine hundred and twenty-three!"

As a result, another toenail was peeled off.

The good news is that Lin Yi didn't continue asking him arithmetic questions.

"Tell me, what exactly did you do to her?" (End of Chapter)
