Chapter 12530

Di Qingfan frowned slightly.

He had failed the task assigned to him by the Emperor, but at least he had to bring Yang Wudi back, which would at least give him some explanation.

But if Yang Wudi is courting death like this, and the other party really goes all out, he might not be able to protect him.

Fortunately, Lin Yi did not kill Yang Wudi with a single slap as everyone expected.

Lin Yi looked Yang Wudi up and down with great interest.

"What exactly does the Emperor see in you?"

Yang Wudi was taken aback for a moment, then said confidently, "I am the chosen one, it is only natural that the Emperor Saint would take a liking to me!"

Lin Yi laughed: "Alright, then come back with me first, and I'll investigate what kind of chosen one you are, and what makes you so deserving of this title."

As they spoke, an invisible force field directly imprisoned Yang Wudi, rendering him unable to move.

Di Qingfan flashed and suddenly stood in front of Yang Wudi.

"This is the person my master specifically requested. I hope you can do me a favor."

Lin Yi looked at him calmly: "In my eyes, even an Emperor Saint doesn't seem to have that much influence, and you certainly don't either. Or, you could give it a try?"

Under his gaze, Di Qingfan inexplicably felt an unprecedented pressure, even more so than his master, Di Sheng!
Is this person really that terrifying?
Di Qingfan broke out in a cold sweat, but then he was overcome with an overwhelming sense of excitement.

Given his level, there are very few people in the entire Tianjun that can genuinely interest him.

Emperor Saint counts as one, Supreme Emperor counts as one, and as for the other five saints of the aristocratic families, they can only be counted as half at most.

But now, there's finally one more.

This is a good thing!

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow with amusement: "This guy doesn't seem to be a normal person either."

He could sense that in the eyes of this third disciple of the Emperor Saint, he was less a dangerous figure to be feared and more a rare toy.

To be precise, it is a rare research subject.

That kind of excitement is similar to a mad scientist discovering a brand new subject; the greater the challenge, the more excited they feel from the bottom of their hearts.

Based on the few words the other party had just said, Lin Yi could conclude that this third disciple of the Emperor Saint was definitely not a disciple of the Emperor Saint in the conventional sense.

Perhaps the Emperor Saint can compel him to do something.

But in essence, it is just an alternative cooperative relationship; this person is by no means a loyal lackey of Emperor Sheng.

The way they view the Emperor Saint is probably exactly the same as how they view themselves; the only difference is in their titles.

"Then I'll reluctantly give it a try."

Although Di Qingfan said he was reluctant, he couldn't hide the excitement deep in his eyes.

But his next move surprised everyone.

The five-zhang-tall imperial image was unleashed, and a giant golden palm descended.

However, his target turned out to be Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi was stunned on the spot: "What do you mean?"

His mind went blank, and he couldn't react at all.

The rest of the group was also completely dumbfounded.

Di Qingfan's move didn't seem like a feint; it clearly carried a tangible killing intent, and he was truly aiming to kill Yang Wudi!

Shen Xiuluo grinned and sneered, "I knew this guy was cunning!"

Given Yang Wudi's previous behavior, everyone present wanted to kill him. With Di Qingfan's extremely arrogant personality, how could he possibly have no emotions at all?

However, in Lin Yi's eyes, this meant something else entirely.

Kill to silence someone.

There must be some hidden secret about Yang Wudi; otherwise, Emperor Sheng would not have specifically requested him.

Di Qingfan knew perfectly well that it was impossible to take him away.

The only thing left to do is to kill them to silence them and prevent the secret from being leaked.

Lin Yi was about to make a move.

Suddenly, the sky above changed, and a giant azure hand descended from the clouds, shattering Di Qingfan's golden giant palm and sweeping Yang Wudi away from afar.

"Emperor Saint? Emperor Saint has made a move?"

Upon seeing this, some people immediately cried out in alarm.

Shen Xiuluo grinned in astonishment: "Things are getting out of hand, aren't they?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Di Qingfan's face at just the right moment, but looking into the depths of his eyes, there was absolutely no surprise at all.

All of this was clearly within his calculations.

At the same time, the various thoughts that had gathered in the sky dispersed, fearing that they might offend the Emperor Saint and displease him.

Moreover, the fact that Emperor Sheng has taken action means that today's events are already over, and there will be no further changes.

This has always been the case.

But today, history is destined to be broken.

"Stay."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the butterfly knife appeared in his hand without him even noticing, and he slashed it from a distance.

The blade energy converged into a black star explosion, without any flight trajectory, and exploded directly on the cyan giant hand.

The giant blue hand was instantly shattered.

Yang Wudi, who had been lifted into the air, fell nearly ten meters away. Although he did not die instantly, he broke more than a dozen bones and could only lie on the ground howling in pain.

At the same time, the invisible mystery that had been surrounding it quietly crumbled.

In the blink of an eye, the giant azure hand condensed again, but after lingering for a moment, it ultimately did not fall again, but returned to the clouds.

The entire room remained silent for a long time.

Until someone blurted out, "The Emperor Saint has already retreated?"

It's more than just retreating; to put it bluntly, it's clearly cowardice.

Not only those present, but also the various powerful figures hovering in the sky above were all incredibly shocked.

The Five Sages of the Aristocratic Clan hold extraordinary positions and rarely make a move in front of others.

Emperor Saint, in particular, rarely makes a move.

In the past, every single move he made was swift and decisive, and no matter how complex the situation, it would inevitably be resolved with a single blow.

Otherwise, the crowd wouldn't have subconsciously assumed the matter was over the moment the giant blue hand appeared.

Who could have imagined it would turn out like this?

Emperor Sheng suffered a humiliating defeat and actually retreated!
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Lin Yi changed.

Just moments ago, there was only wariness and apprehension, but now, looking at it again, there is an invisible layer of awe.

"I heard that the Demon Slayer Squad died at his hands?"

"It's not just the Demon Slaughtering Team. Do you know Nie Huichuan? He killed the pseudo-Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect expert as well."

"That's all outdated news. Just a few days ago, the Food Saint himself suffered a great loss at his hands, and it's said he almost died at the Termination Meeting!"

With all these pieces of information combined, Lin Yi's status in everyone's eyes suddenly rose by a significant margin.

Rumors may be true or false, but they all witnessed what just happened.

This is excellent evidence!

In an instant, an invisible consensus was formed in everyone's hearts.

The situation in Tianjun might really be about to change!

The powerful figures gathered in the sky all actively extended their goodwill towards Lin Yi. At the same time, the people on the ground spontaneously bowed to Lin Yi and respectfully withdrew. (End of Chapter)
