Chapter 12615

The outcry is no longer confined to the public sphere.

At this moment, even the round table meeting in the Heavenly Palace publicly raised this matter for discussion.

While many of the Heavenly Palace leaders remained silent, most of them passed resolutions to exert pressure on the Termination Council in the name of the Heavenly Palace!
The news caused an even greater uproar throughout Tianjun.

Although the majesty of the Heavenly Palace is not what it used to be, after all, even the Five Saints of the aristocratic families have repeatedly encountered setbacks, so what can the mere Heavenly Palace do?

But the Heavenly Palace is still the Heavenly Palace; it remains, in name only, the only official organization of the Heavenly Prefecture.

Its fate has extremely significant symbolic meaning.

If things continue this way, Lin Yi is only one step away from becoming a true public enemy of Tianjun.

"The strategist is truly remarkable."

Lin Yi clicked his tongue in admiration.

Despite his influence over the Heavenly Palace, he couldn't figure out how the strategist had orchestrated it.

And behind this, it is clearly the work of a strategist.

I have to say, ginger is still spicy.

Zhang Baiyu said with shame, "It's my fault."

"Don't say that, you're already strong enough."

Lin Yi's words were not merely words of comfort. Although Zhang Baiyu was at a disadvantage in the duel between the strategist and his son, it was not entirely due to a lack of strength.

To a large extent, it's just that the two sides don't have an equal amount of leverage.

He is, after all, a contemporary strategist, possessing the profound knowledge of the strategist lineage, and even able to mobilize the power of the other five sage families.

On the other hand, Zhang Baiyu's side, although they also have the Termination Association as their backer, doesn't look bad on paper.

However, once you delve into the details, you'll find that the differences between them are not small.

This kind of accumulation requires a long period of time and cannot be made up for by temporary momentum.

In Lin Yi's view, Zhang Baiyu's ability to hold his own against the strategist with his limited resources was already quite extraordinary.

It's perfectly reasonable to suffer this loss in silence right now.

Moreover, for Lin Yi, since he had decided to play along, he was prepared to suffer this loss.

Otherwise, why would people feel safe taking the bait?
Zhang Baiyu thought for a moment and asked, "What are you planning to do next, President? Will you agree to their demands?"

Given the strength of the Termination Society, or more precisely, Lin Yi's strength, a direct confrontation wouldn't be impossible; the key is whether he has the will to do so.

Lin Yi smiled and shrugged: "Since we're in a bind, we might as well back down. After all, the situation is beyond our control, right?"

The news caused an immediate sensation throughout Tianjun County.

All parties were dumbfounded.

They were even prepared to confront the Heavenly Palace head-on at the end.

Once war breaks out, the situation in Tianjun will change drastically, and these ambitious individuals will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Who would have thought that Lin Yi would actually back down like that?
"I never thought the Emperor of Ending would make such a foolish mistake!"

"If he had agreed earlier, everyone would have praised him and he could have earned the reputation of a great hero of Tianjun. Now that he's in a bind, he finally agreed? Heh."

"He's really stupid! Now that he's in this situation, even if he gives up his intermediate-level divine equipment, he won't get any credit; he'll just be called an idiot!"

"I just don't understand it. You either have to tough it out and invite criticism, or you have to kneel down and beg for favors. Instead, he took a different approach and knelt down to invite criticism."

"Tsk tsk, some people have risen to power and status by virtue of their extraordinary opportunities, but that doesn't mean they can truly be above you and me."

"If you or I could get that opportunity, let me tell you, at least half the people could do better than him. He really just got lucky!"

There was much discussion about it from all sides in Tianjun.

The core argument is that it's a thankless task.

The members of the closing meeting were indignant and couldn't help but argue with them, but they were outnumbered and outmatched, and were completely suppressed in the public opinion arena.

Lin Yi was not surprised at all by this.

Not to mention that there's a strategist controlling things behind the scenes, making it impossible for him to easily turn the tables.

Most importantly, that's just human nature.

They visited the residence of the strategist once again.

This time, both the strategist and Xu Shaoweng were at the door to greet them, and judging from the level of hospitality alone, it was the highest level of reception.

"It is truly a blessing for Tianjun that you have such awareness, brother. On behalf of the people of Tianjun, I thank you."

Xu Shaoweng looked sincere.

The two had already become sworn brothers on their last meeting, so their reunion was naturally very warm.

To be honest, in terms of appearance and demeanor alone, there was not a single fault to be found, and even Lin Yi felt very pleased.

This is a pure social succubus.

If it weren't for the Wuhou Star Chart to authenticate the authenticity, and if it weren't for the World Will seeing through the truth, even he would find it hard to believe that such a person could be a complete fraud!

Upon entering the inner hall, he dismissed those around him.

Only four people remained in the room: Lin Yi, Xu Shaoweng, Mou Sheng, and Zhang Baiyu.

Lin Yi got straight to the point: "To be honest, I'm really reluctant to give up my intermediate-level divine equipment, which is why I've been delaying for so long."

"It's only human nature, and completely understandable!"

Xu Shaoweng nodded repeatedly: "In a place like Tianjun, even low-level divine equipment is a rare item, let alone mid-level divine equipment?"

"But don't worry, brother. With your strength and talent, your future stage will not be limited to Tianjun. The Divine Realm Open Zone is where you should go."

"By then, let alone basic or intermediate divine equipment, you'll have counted high-level divine equipment so many that your hands will be sore. This little bit of stuff is nothing!"

After a barrage of flattery and empty promises, Xu Shaoweng finally said impatiently, "Brother, let me see your intermediate-level divine equipment."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, but eventually took it out.

The first item is the Wind-Fixing Pearl.

Xu Shaoweng's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned closer to examine it carefully, but he didn't touch it directly.

As a seasoned con artist, especially with the persona of a top-tier gear synthesizer, his judgment is naturally impeccable.

At this moment, the Strategist suddenly spoke up: "This is a relic of the Killer Saint lineage, not a race reward, right?"

Lin Yi did not deny it: "That's right."

"This Wind-Fixing Pearl is a mid-level divine equipment, but one piece is still not enough."

Xu Shaoweng looked at Lin Yi again: "Brother, bring out the other intermediate-level divine equipment as well. Since you've made up your mind, there's no need for further formalities."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally made a difficult decision: "Okay."

As he spoke, he took out a tripwire.

Before the other party could even feel happy, he immediately took out the broken blade again.

Then comes the cloud hands.

Finally, add a shockproof armor piece.

Including the Wind-Fixing Pearl, five mid-level divine equipment pieces were lined up in a row. This scene left Xu Shaoweng speechless with astonishment, and even the Strategist was momentarily stunned.

Everyone couldn't help but have a certain feeling.

It seems that mid-level divine equipment isn't so rare in Tianjun? (End of Chapter)
