To say nothing of anything else, even the high priest himself would find it difficult to accomplish the feat of taking in the Qin family and the royal families of Donghai in just half a month!
In an instant, the entire Poseidon Hall was talking about Lin Yi in a louder voice.
Compared to the slander and ridicule in the past, there were many more positive voices now. Humans were such realistic animals. No matter where they were, they would always be respected. Once you showed enough strength, the public opinion would naturally lean towards you.
This wasn't a bad thing for the walkers who wanted to recruit Lin Yi.
Other than Madam Qing, who'd suggested it, the other advisors all looked down on Lin Yi.
This was human nature.
Luckily, they were on Lin Yi's side during the incident with the temple guards. No matter what they thought, they were showing their goodwill to Lin Yi in action.
On the other hand, the high priest, who had been on the opposite side from the beginning, was in a difficult position.
Lin Yi had done such a great service-if he continued to suppress him, it'd be easy for people to talk about him, and the top five would take advantage of the situation to attack him.
After all, he was not the high priest of the sea god temple, and the eyes of the other believers were also bright.
But if he didn't suppress Lin Yi and let him continue to grow, not only would his individual strength reach a level where even he wouldn't be able to control him, but the forces under him would also grow to a level that couldn't be ignored.
There was already the Qin family and the royal family of Donghai that was in disunity.
It'd take a lot of effort to combine them, but with Lin Yi's abilities, it was only a matter of time before he took them both under his control.
If this continued, even if he wasn't a Walker, Lin Yi himself would become a huge Corporation that couldn't be ignored!
"This kid is really something, we have to be on guard."
A gray shadow attached to the high priest's back said,""You have the foundation of an absolute Saint venerable, and your future is limitless. If you add on the huge forces under you, in the future, if you work together with the advisor system, your priest system might not be able to suppress them."
The sea god temple also had the temple guards, a third-party force. On the surface, they were neutral, but in fact, they had already leaned towards the priest system.
The situation was originally good, but after the last conflict, commander Bai Ze suffered a loss. Now his attitude began to become ambiguous again. This kind of fence-sitter who would help whoever won could not be counted on at all.
"That's not what I'm worried about," the high priest said with a grave expression."I'm more worried about that mysterious divine punishment."
"This can't be faked in front of so many experts from the royal family of Dong Hai," the gray shadow said hesitantly."Is the sea god really still here?"
All of their previous schemes and plans were built on the foundation of the sea god's fall.
If even this basic premise had a problem, and the seagod was still safe and sound, then not only would everything they had done be in vain, but it would also become a fatal disaster.
No matter how strong the high priest was, he could not be compared to a true God-level existence.
Once the sea god noticed the betrayal of his closest servant, his end would definitely be worse than ao Tian Xia 's. Most importantly, he wouldn't be able to resist at all.
The high priest was silent.
The gray shadow could not help but feel a little anxious."But the arrow is already on the bow and can not be released. Master's patience is limited. It is impossible to give us more time. If we make master unhappy, then ..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Even a figure of the high priest's level couldn't help but shiver at the thought of the consequences.
Compared to suffering the wrath of the sea god, he was even more unwilling to become a sacrifice for his master.
"Don't be impatient,"
The high priest's gloomy eyes flashed with a bright light.""I've just received news that a son of the sea god has recently appeared in the West Sea. It's said that he has performed many divine miracles in public."
The gray shadow snorted,"son of the sea god?" He really knows how to put gold on his face. Why didn't he say he's the grandson of the sea god? Doesn't that make you seem more pious?"
"I don't care who he is to the sea god," the High Priestess said,"since he's appeared now, he's just right for us to use."
"You mean to say ..."
The gray shadow immediately reacted, and his eyes lit up."You want to use this guy against Lin Yi?"
The high priest smiled faintly."One can attract God's punishment, and the other can create miracles. Let them fight each other. Maybe we can test the sea God's strength?"
The grey shadow was a little suspicious,"that's a good idea, but it's the high priest's job to get rid of these fake quacks. Now you want to push it on Lin Yi's head. He might not do as you say, right?"
The high priest narrowed his eyes."Now that he's so popular, there are many things he can't decide on his own. Unless he's willing to give up the royal family of Dong Hai, he must hold on to the title of the first spokesperson of the sea god."
"Then what about you, the real number one representative of the sea god?" the grey shadow chuckled.
"That's easy," the high priest said."I haven't been in seclusion for a long time. It's time for me to make a slight breakthrough."
Soon, a rumor started spreading in the West Sea-Lin Yi, the so-called representative of the sea god, was a scammer, and only master West Heimo was the real son of the sea god.
Master mo was going to expose Lin Yi's trick sooner or later!
In just a few days, this rumor had spread throughout the entire sea area. Almost everyone was talking about it after tea and meals. It was extremely popular and unprecedented.
When the news reached Lin Yi's ears, he didn't think much of it.
But soon, the hearts of the people in the royal families of Dong Hai began to waver. It was obvious that someone was behind the scenes.
The other party didn't mind being noticed by him at all, because this was the same method he had used to deal with the royal family of Donghai. All of them were open conspiracies. Once he was involved, he could only follow the other party's script, and there was no solution at all.
Imperceptibly, this had already become a massive battle of public opinion.
If Lin Yi couldn't destroy this rumor, the credibility he'd built up in the royal families of Donghai would be gone. After all, the royal families of Donghai were under the sea God's control instead of him.
Without the sea god's Halo, it'll be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for him to gather the power of the eastern sea's royal families for my use!
On the other side, the self-proclaimed son of the sea, Grandmaster mo, was getting more and more popular with the help of people with ulterior motives. He even became an honored guest of the other royal families of the three Seas.
