Chapter 12619

Did we mess this up?

Those are a full five pieces of mid-level divine equipment!
As a result, Lin Yi remained calm and drank his tea without showing the slightest sign of panic.

"..."

Zhang Baiyu was genuinely dumbfounded this time.

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

With the Heavenly Pillar finally falling, everything was already set in stone.

At this moment, the strategist suddenly raised his hand.

The next second, the Heavenly Pillar that had already fallen was pulled back on the spot, the scene was extremely abrupt.

Zhang Baiyu was immediately filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The strategist looked at Lin Yi meaningfully: "Aren't you afraid of making the wrong bet?"

Lin Yi chuckled: "It doesn't matter if I bet wrong, since they're all fake anyway."

"fake?"

Zhang Baiyu looked bewildered once again.

As the eldest son of a strategist, none of the shocks I've experienced since childhood have been as great as this tea session today.

For the first time, Zhang Baiyu felt like a fool.

Thinking back carefully, at least when those five mid-level divine equipment pieces were first displayed, they were definitely genuine.

He was absolutely certain of that.

Although Xu Shaoweng was just an old swindler, he was definitely not one who could be easily fooled. If he were someone who could be so easily dealt with, why would he have gained the approval of the strategist?

If Lin Yi were to bring out counterfeit goods, there's a very high chance the trick would be discovered at first glance.

Zhang Baiyu immediately realized: "You just changed it?"

Lin Yi smiled but remained silent.

Until Xu Shaoweng returned for the third time, those five intermediate-level divine equipment pieces were still genuine intermediate-level divine equipment; they were simply switched at the last moment.

Zhang Baiyu was still in shock.

In fact, the strategist sitting opposite him also looked surprised, as he hadn't seen exactly how Lin Yi had done it.

The strategist realized what was happening and showed a hint of amazement.

"You are not a disciple of the Supreme Emperor, yet you have mastered the Ultimate Technique to such a degree. You are indeed extraordinary."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You flatter me, Master Strategist."

The reason he could remain undetected by the strategist and Zhang Baiyu was primarily due to his ultimate skill.

Ultimate Skill can distort the consciousness of others.

This ability is not only incredibly powerful in combat, but also exceptionally useful in real-world situations.

However, even with the ultimate skill, it is by no means an easy task to distort the consciousness of an existence like the Sage of Strategy.

Even if it were a direct disciple of the Supreme Emperor, such as Mei Zhixue, they would absolutely not be able to do this.

Even if the Supreme Emperor himself were to personally take action, it would still be an unknown, after all, he is the contemporary strategist!
As for Lin Yi, his true trump card is not just the Ultimate Intent Technique.

Its true strength and dominance lie in the dimensional reduction and support from the will of the world.

This is a technique that no one else can learn.

The strategist suddenly said meaningfully, "Be careful of the Emperor of Extreme Intent."

Lin Yi took the opportunity to probe: "What exactly is the true nature of the Supreme Emperor?"

Ever since Mei Zhixue appeared, he has been sending people to investigate, trying to find out the whereabouts of the Supreme Emperor.

In the present day, besides Emperor Sheng, there is only one other person in Tianjun who could pose a real threat to him.

Unfortunately, there has been no result.

This top figure, who instilled fear in all parties of Tianjun, was like a fleeting shadow. You could clearly sense his presence, but you could never be certain of his exact nature.

If it weren't for his intuition, even Lin Yi would have doubted whether there really was such a person in Tianjun.
The strategist shook his head slightly, and his next words startled Lin Yi.

"No one has ever seen the Ultimate Emperor."

Lin Yi: "..."

Previously, regarding the matter of Emperor Jiyi, anyone in Tianjun could be pulled out and told a detailed account, with every detail presented in vivid detail and without any falsehood.

Moreover, the various relationships between Emperor Jiyi and the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families have all been confirmed by the Heavenly Palace officials.

In the end, they're saying no one has ever seen the Ultimate Emperor?
Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families fight against the Supreme Emperor?"

"We have indeed fought each other."

The strategist nodded, but then shook his head: "Having fought each other doesn't mean we've met. The Emperor of Ultimate Intent we saw back then was just the face he wanted us to see, not his true face."

Lin Yi immediately realized.

As the creator of the Ultimate Skill, it might be difficult for him to completely mislead figures of the caliber of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families.

However, if it's just about implanting some incorrect subconscious ideas so that the other person sees a distorted version of themselves, that's entirely possible.

Lin Yi's tone turned slightly serious: "So, anyone I met in Tianjun could be the Supreme Emperor?"

"You've probably seen it more than once."

The strategist's words were unprecedented and sent chills down Lin Yi's spine.

Holding the trump card of the world's will, which is a dimensional advantage, he was somewhat complacent before.

Lin Yi was absolutely certain that anyone who appeared before him, no matter what kind of disguise they wore, could not escape the detection of the world's will.

For this reason, Lin Yi would unconsciously feel a sense of security towards the people he had met in Tianjun before, whether they were enemies or friends.

Because subconsciously, these people have already been excluded.

They have all unanimously labeled themselves as posing no threat.

Looking back now, this was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

If what the strategist said is true, then the Supreme Emperor might appear before him at the most crucial moment in an unexpected identity, suddenly stabbing him in the back.

The consequences could be disastrous.

Lin Yi asked, "Does the Strategist have anyone he suspects?"

"No."

The strategist shook his head frankly: "Over the years, I have mobilized countless resources and tried all sorts of possibilities, but I have never been able to find a trace of him. It's as if he really is not in Tianjun."

Zhang Baiyu interjected, "Is it possible that he himself isn't in Tianjun?"

"He must be here."

Lin Yi and the strategist spoke at the same time.

No substantial evidence is needed; their intuition is the most convincing evidence.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Yi suddenly reached out.

The next second, a shocked Xu Shaoweng was pulled out of the void rift and collapsed in front of the three people.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Xu Shaoweng looked at the three people with a mixture of surprise and fear.

According to his script, he should have already appeared in the open area of ​​the Divine Realm, riding on the Heavenly Pillar he bought at great expense and carrying the five newly acquired intermediate divine equipment.

Why are you still here?

However, he was a shrewd man after all. Just by looking at Lin Yi's expression, he knew that things had been exposed, and he hurriedly scrambled to hide behind the strategist.

"Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang, save me!"

Lin Yi chuckled upon seeing this: "He removed the Heavenly Pillar himself. Did you really think he would help you?"

Xu Shaoweng said with certainty, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Stop trying to sow discord between me and Brother Zhang! With the friendship between Brother Zhang and me, no one can drive a wedge between us!"

He said that, but he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind.
