"Ao Taiwei, ao Taiyi, you've really put in a lot of effort."
Lin Yi smiled meaningfully.
Even an ordinary family would not arrange their words randomly. There must be a strict boundary between the elders and the juniors. The other party was a royal family of the South Sea, so it was naturally no exception.
This was especially so since the head of the clan was an old monster like ao Taiwei, who had lived for countless years.
According to what Lin Yi knew, the royal family's position in the South Sea was determined by the ranking. The higher the ranking, the higher the position.
'Tai' was the first place in the southern sea's genealogy!
In theory, only ao Taiwei could enjoy the word. The only exception was that the next person to take over the royal family of the South Sea would also be granted the word 'tai'.
Ao Taiyi would be the next king of the south Sea!
One had to know that this kind of successor was not as simple as it seemed. From the moment he was born, he had to invest the best resources of the southern sea royal family, day after day, year after year.
The amount of cultivation resources it consumed every day was far greater than that of ordinary grassroots cultivators, even if they spent their entire lives.
The resources that the royal family of the South Sea had invested in ao Taiyi had reached an astronomical figure. Even the entire royal family of the South Sea could not afford to lose such a huge sunk cost.
Ao Taiwei had actually dared to send such a crucial person as a spy in the sword Pavilion, and he had even become the eldest senior brother of the sword Pavilion under the sword saint's nose. Just thinking about the meticulous plan behind this was enough to make one shudder!
Ao Taiwei waved his hand and said,""What you take in advance must be given in advance. This old man has lived for so many years. If I can't even understand this basic principle, then wouldn't I have lived in vain?"
"Since you've been hiding it for so long, why don't you hide it a little longer and announce it when everything's settled?" Lin Yi asked faintly.
Ao tai smiled."Previously, I had him conceal his identity to guard against the sword Saint, ye Qiyuan. Now that ye Qiyuan is gone, is there any need to conceal his identity?"
"Aren't you afraid that the sword Garret disciples you've deceived will gang up on you?"
"Do you think that you'll anger the masses? Hehe, young man, you still don't understand human nature. "
Ao Taiwei's turbid eyes were filled with mockery. He pointed at the shocked disciples of the Sword Garret and said,""Now that the sword Pavilion has no master, whoever is stronger will be the one to take over. Do you think my grandson's background as a member of the royal family of the South Sea will be a plus or a minus in their eyes?"
Of course, it was to add points.
Lin Yi didn't even need to think about it-the answer was written on the faces of all the disciples.
In the face of this familiar yet strange senior brother, many of them had complicated expressions, but they were not angry at being deceived.
In the end, they did have a deep sense of belonging to the sword Garret, but because of ye Qiyuan's style of doing things, they did not have much feelings for the previous Sword Saint.
Now that there was a new generation, they only needed to follow the next Sword Saint.
As for whether the next Sword Saint would be Lin Yi or ao Taiyi, the eldest senior brother who had been in hiding for a long time, was there any essential difference?
If the latter took over, it would mean that the sword Garret would become one with the royal family of the South Sea, and their territory would expand at least hundreds of times, which would be a great benefit for them.
The ambitious ones among them were already tempted.
In a situation like this, not helping ao Taiyi deal with Lin Yi was already a miracle, let alone taking the risk of surrounding him.
Wang hou, who was in the middle of it all, cursed,""No wonder we can't share the same pot. It turns out that you're a sinister villain wearing a mask. Damn it, I'm still in the same team as you. It's so disgusting!"
As he spoke, the attacks of his fists and swords became more and more aggressive.
However, ao Taiyi seemed to be in a precarious situation, but he was actually dealing with it with ease.
"You still haven't noticed? I've completely deciphered all of your moves since just now. It's a small problem of mine to completely analyze a person's everything before I kill him. "
Ao Taiyi revealed a conceited smile.""Do you really think you can fight me with your insignificant strength? Are you even worthy?"
He had changed his image of a gentle eldest senior brother and revealed the arrogance of the heir of South Sea.
"Analyze me? Then you should try!"
Enraged, Wang hou unleashed his full power with his fists and swords. Sword Qi wreaked havoc in the arena, forcing the disciples of the Sword Garret to retreat.
After all, they weren't like Lin Yi, who could take on Wang hou's fist and sword Qi so easily. If Lin Yi were to land a hit on them, they'd die.
"Poor frog in the well."
Ao Taiyi clicked his tongue and drew five rings of fire with his red fiery sword, sucking in all of Wang hou's sword Qi without letting a single trace out.
Wang hou was taken aback, and then saw the five rings of fire change direction and appear behind him.
Before he could react, the sword Qi of the fist sword that he had just released came out of the ring of Fire and hit his body.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sound of explosions was endless, and Wang hou was instantly in a terrible state. If not for the fact that he had some resistance against his own sword Qi, he would have been blown into smithereens.
Even so, by the time the sword Qi exploded, he was already covered in wounds. His whole body was a bloody mess, and there was not a single place that was intact.
However, Wang hou still stood there unyieldingly, struggling to maintain his fist and sword despite his tottering state, maintaining an offensive stance.
"You're a man,"
Ao Taiyi looked at Lin Yi meaningfully and said mockingly,""Unfortunately, it's useless to be tough. You're willing to block a knife for others, but they may not even like cannon fodder like you. Trash like you are only destined to be cannon fodder."
It was obvious that he wanted to goad Lin Yi into fighting for the noble.
Lin Yi and Wang hou didn't have any interactions with each other, and from their interactions in the sword tomb, they were far from getting along well. But at least to the audience, Wang hou only attacked for Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi didn't do anything and just watched him die, it would be too disheartening.
They were checkmating Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi's aura had already been locked onto by ao Taiwei-the old king of the south Sea would instantly bare his fangs and show Lin Yi what it meant to be the benchmark of a top-tier combat power if he moved!
He was in a dilemma.
"Tsk tsk, it seems like you're really a person with a hard life. Then I'll take pity on you and send you on your way."
Ao Taiyi laughed coldly as he thrust his sword at Wang hou's throat.
In his eyes, Wang hou's value was just to piss Lin Yi off-he didn't think that Lin Yi would take the bait so easily. Those who succeeded had Hearts of Stone, and if Lin Yi was that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be alive today.
