Everyone was speechless.
The commander was dumbfounded.
On the surface, he looked forthright, but in reality, he was also an extremely shrewd person. However, even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that there would actually be such a miraculous turn of events.
It was fine if the other party didn't take the opportunity to win him over, but they did this in public and put him, the commander, on the spot. It was the same as publicly making fun of him. Wasn't this deliberately making enemies?
What was this boss thinking ...
Not only was the chief commander caught off guard, but even the top five advisors could not help but look at each other. They had anticipated all kinds of possibilities, but this was the only one that had not occurred.
The high priest was still trying to get on Lin Yi's good side after all the grudges they'd had. How was that possible?
Although the old man looked like a gentle elder, he always made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze no matter when and where. In fact, in terms of ruthlessness and viciousness, this man was definitely the person who stood at the peak of the entire sea area.
If he didn't kill Zhang xiangding and l?? Yangzhong, Lin Yi might have been roped in by him.
But now, the two sides were like fire and water, and there was no room for negotiation. Even if the high priest didn't care, the other priests couldn't keep their faces.
Plus, even if he really did take the initiative, Lin Yi might not have the guts to accept it.
You just killed two of their trusted aides, and in the end, they actually smiled at you. Who wouldn't be suspicious in their hearts?
He was the center of attention again, and Lin Yi smiled calmly,"As expected, the high priest is the one who understands Lord seagod the most. I'm sincerely convinced. Then I'll respectfully comply."
"You flatter me, Prince hai hai. It's been a long time since I've seen such an outstanding young man like you. I wonder if you could come to my priest Hall and have a good chat."
The high priest's words once again shocked everyone.
The man was a friendly person, but they'd never heard of him inviting anyone. Lin Yi was just a new king of the seas, and he had the face to do that?
"Be careful of traps."
Madam Qing quickly sent Lin Yi a message through her divine sense.
After today, everyone would realize Lin Yi's value. Roping in Lin Yi was his established strategy as a Walker, and he couldn't afford to lose it.
If Lin Yi really couldn't handle it and decided to join the high priest, then they'd be in a very difficult situation.
Lin Yi made eye contact with her and replied calmly,"I know what I'm doing,"
"Then, please."
The high priest turned around and left without a word.
Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands at the top five advisors before turning to hou Mohe.""I'll leave the matters here to you. I want to see a complete guard unit later. "
"Understood."
Hou Mohe was still as calm as ever, but his eyes were now more serious than before. It was obvious that he was impressed by Lin Yi's performance.
Although Lin Yi's power was far from being able to compete with the huge priest and runner divisions, and even the weaker commanders, in the long run, he had the potential to grow to the fourth level of the sea god Hall.
Just this possibility alone was worth him taking a gamble.
The advisors were worried as they watched Lin Yi leave with the high priest.
"He shouldn't be that confused, right?"
"It's hard to say. We've experienced the old man's methods before, but he didn 't. It wouldn't be strange if he really fell for it."
"Actually, I'm more curious about why the old man would suddenly do this. Isn't he afraid of going for wool and coming home shorn?"
The others didn't know what was going on-they all thought that the high priest had some other reason for doing this. Only Lin Yi, who was the one involved, knew that there wasn 't.
The high priest had suddenly spoken up for him in public not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice.
The reason was very simple. The Oracle had just been sent by Li Yuanji. It was definitely not ambiguous words like "the overall situation is more important" but "she" had directly stood on his side.
The Oracle simply said,"use the divine Hall's guards to supplement the king of near sea's Guards unit."
Although the high priest had the right to interpret the Oracle in name, there was a prerequisite. The interpretation had to be self-explanatory.
Only an ambiguous Oracle would give him room to operate.
For such a clear message that was directly written on the face, he could only be responsible for conveying it. There was no room for interpretation.
Otherwise, once everyone requested to disclose the contents of the Oracle, they would be exposed instantly.
Once this matter was confirmed in public, his position as the high priest would come to an end. The Wayfarer would definitely pursue him relentlessly, not giving him any chance to struggle or react.
Even within the priest system, there would be a huge wave of opposition.
No matter how powerful the high priest's subordinates were, they couldn't change the most fundamental premise. Loyalty and belief to the sea god was the foundation of all priests 'existence.
He could deceive everyone, but the premise was that he absolutely could not expose himself. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer a backlash, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I've finished watching the show. I can finally go home and sleep. "
Cruel malevolence stretched his back and turned to look at the commander,""You don't look like you're happy. Why don't we have some more fun?"
"No need, no need."
The commander's mouth twitched stiffly, and he waved his hand.
He had lost an entire Brigade of the divine Hall's guards in vain. He was already unlucky enough today. How could he dare to cause more trouble?
The key was that he had seen the exchange between this guy and the high priest just now. He was very clear that he was no match for this monster. Fighting with this perverted monster was simply asking to be humiliated.
Madam Qing smiled profoundly."You are a wise man, Grand Commander. We admire your past actions."
In other words, he didn't appreciate his actions today.
"The same goes for you." The commander's mouth twitched.
Today's change was essentially a test by him. He wanted to use this opportunity to test the bottom line of the high priest and the top five advisors, trying to fight for more room for himself to operate.
After all, a great change was coming. If they were to remain neutral like before, it was very likely that they would be the first to be eliminated.
Thus, he had to change.
It was a pity that from the results, his test this time had clearly kicked an iron plate. Now that the conflict between the Walker and priest systems was getting more and more ruthless, they would not leave him, a third party, any room for negotiation.
Cruel malevolence and Madam Qing's words were like a warning to him. If he wanted to do anything in the future, he would have to think twice.
"Farewell."
The two sides cupped their hands in a tacit understanding and left, leaving hou Moshe and hundreds of the divine Hall's personal guards who were at a loss.
