Chapter 12589

The simplest reason is that if this name is not written down, Lin Yi will inevitably become a prime suspect once Zhao Shirong dies.

He is at least one of the suspects.

Even if the powerful figure behind Zhao Shirong doesn't have any real feelings for him, he will definitely start investigating.

No matter what Lin Yi does, he will be under close scrutiny, which will inevitably lead to complications.

Conversely, if Zhao Shirong personally wrote Lin Yi's name on it, then after he dies, everyone else in Tianjun could be a suspect, except for Lin Yi.

After all, logically speaking, the person who least wants Zhao Shirong to get into trouble at this time is Lin Yi.

The success or failure of a matter often depends on a single thought of a powerful person.

"Go and call him over. I'll write his name down right in front of him."

Once Zhao Shirong made up his mind, he immediately became impatient.

At that moment, the voice of the Food Saint suddenly interrupted.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Longyin couldn't help but frown secretly.

It was this person who interfered before, making Zhao Shirong covet the intermediate-level divine equipment in Lin Yi's possession, and now he's jumping out to interfere again?
Zhao Shirong chuckled, "You've come at the right time. Give me two mid-level divine equipment pieces, and I'll write your name on them while I'm at it. How about that?"

The Food Saint was clearly stunned: "Why does Your Excellency ask me for two items, but only ask me to finish off the old monster for one?"

"Can that be the same?"

Zhao Shirong stretched lazily: "He personally killed the Saint of Slaughter. Why don't you go and kill one and see how it goes, like the Emperor Saint?"

"..."

The Sage of Food was speechless for a moment, and could only reply with a wry smile: "You think too highly of me, sir."

Zhao Shirong immediately turned hostile: "Then what the hell are you talking about?"

Xu Longyin chuckled to himself.

He certainly knew what the Food Saint was there for, but unfortunately he overestimated Zhao Shirong's integrity.

Zhao Shirong is indeed adept at sowing discord.

The problem is, don't expect him to only eat what you feed him; most likely, he'll take you as well.

"With my meager resources, I simply cannot afford any intermediate-level divine equipment."

The Food Saint said with a smile, "However, I have heard people say that besides the one in the hands of the End Monster, there is another person who also has one."

"Who?"

Zhao Shirong immediately perked up.

He naturally wanted as many high-level divine equipment items as possible.

In his eyes, everything within the Tianjun territory was his private property.

As for who it was previously in the hands of, it was merely being managed on his behalf.

Looking across the entire Tianjun, only he deserves to have intermediate-level divine equipment.

The Food Saint quickly replied, "The Li family."

"Li Chengyuan?"

Zhao Shirong's eyes flashed. Back then, he offended Emperor Saint and Killing Saint and was expelled from Tianjun. Among all the big shots with names and surnames, only Li Chengyuan stood up and said a few words for him.

In fact, without those two sentences, he might not have even been able to leave Tianjun, let alone find a powerful backer outside and make a comeback.

In the entire Tianjun region today, if anyone still owes him a favor, it is Li Chengyuan.

The Food Saint was naturally aware of this inside story.

Zhao Shirong suddenly smiled and said, "I've been back in Tianjun for so long, and I haven't even paid a visit to my benefactor yet. Well then, there's no time like the present."

"..."

Xu Longyin couldn't help but take a deep look at the Food Saint.

Of the five sages of the aristocratic families, this one has the most honest and kind appearance, yet he is the one who does these kinds of little tricks the most.

An hour later.

Li Tianguo urgently pleaded with Lin Yi: "Please, Chairman, save my father!"

Without saying a word, he immediately kowtowed to the ground.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Yi's expression became subtle. He had expected that Zhao Shirong was a man without any morals, but he never thought that the other party could be this shameless.

"go!"

Lin Yi showed no sign of composure.

Not to mention that the Li family has always been on good terms with the Termination Society, Lin Yi would not disappoint Li Tianguo alone.

Lin Yi has seen quite a few different kinds of second-generation figures.

Li Tianguo is absolutely outstanding.

In terms of talent and ability alone, he may not be considered particularly amazing, but in terms of personal ability, it is no exaggeration to say that he has a bright future.

Even setting aside personal feelings, and using only the most objective evaluation, Lin Yi's assessment can be summed up in eight words.

It has huge potential and is worth investing in.

Li Tianguo was taken aback when he saw this: "President, the other party is a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect. Should we ask a senior to take action?"

Lin Yi casually replied, "It's alright, senior will take care of it."

"what?"

Li Tianguo was momentarily stunned.

He got along well with Lin Yi, the Emperor of Termination, and he didn't feel any guilt about asking Lin Yi for help.

However, when it comes to ending the old monster, especially when facing someone like Zhao Shirong, this is already a momentous event in Tianjun.

That's not something he can resolve with just his personal connections.

Li Tianguo knew very well that he didn't have that much face or influence.

He had already decided to sell everything he owned.

He would stop at nothing to save his father.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yi agreed without even hesitating for a moment.

Lin Yi turned to look at him: "What are you waiting for? Aren't we going to your house?"

"Uh……"

Li Tianguo quickly followed, but was still somewhat uneasy: "My family has a divine artifact that I'd like to offer to you, senior..."

Lin Yi waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this."

Li Tianguo was speechless for a moment.

We arrived at the Li family's house.

As a long-established top family in Tianjun, the Li family's heritage is extraordinary. The ancient and magnificent architecture of the entire complex caught Lin Yi's eye.

However, at this moment, the entire Li family was filled with anxiety.

Many of the key figures were fleeing in a hurry, creating a scene of utter collapse and disarray.

Lin Yi couldn't help but glance at Li Tianguo.

Li Tianguo frowned, but did not stop him.

Even if a normal family like his, with its rich heritage and tradition, were to suddenly suffer a major disaster, it wouldn't end up in this state.

Family unity is a compulsory course for every prominent family, and an indoctrination that every member of a prominent family must receive from birth.

This scene can only prove one thing.

What happened to the Li family has completely shattered their psychological defenses.

In their minds, the Li family was beyond saving, and the only way for them to survive was to flee.

at this time.

Inside the Li family ancestral hall, Zhao Shirong was solemnly pouring tea for Li Chengyuan, his face respectful and showing an air of gratitude.

But Li Chengyuan, who was sitting in front of him at this moment, was bleeding from all seven orifices and was using his last bit of strength to try his best to remain calm.

But every muscle, and even every cell, in his body was twitching and groaning incessantly.

No one knows what kind of torment he went through.

Xu Longyin waited to the side, and even with his composure, he couldn't bear to look directly at him.
