he'd heard before that the sea god seemed to favor lin yi a lot, sending down oracles and even clones for him, but he'd had his reservations about this.
At least, from what he knew, this wasn't realistic. Even if the sea god liked Lin Yi, he wouldn't do anything for an ant. It was just a coincidence.
but now, he began to waver.
after all, the timing of the divine message was too subtle, and even the content was targeted. it felt like the sea god was watching this scene. to some extent, he had become lin yi's bodyguard!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Bai Ze wouldn't have believed that the sea god actually had such a human side.
at the thought of the hidden meaning behind this, even bai ze, who thought that he had seen all kinds of big waves, could not help but shudder.
lin yi brushed past him and said, "are you really not going to move?"
“……”
Bai Ze's expression instantly became interesting.
if he didn't do anything and let lin yi and the others go, he would offend the high priest, zhang xi sheng. it would be useless to explain after that. people at this level only cared about benefits, nothing else.
but if they moved, that would be directly disobeying the lord seagod's divine decree, and the consequences would be even more serious!
ever since lin yi's rise, more and more people began to realize that the high priest's position as the number one representative of the sea god was no longer safe. all the statements he made recently showed that he was indeed standing against lin yi.
standing against lin yi was the same as standing against the sea god. to a certain extent, it was going against the sea god's will!
However, with his personal prestige, the high priest was able to temporarily suppress the internal discussions and cracks, forcibly stabilizing the situation.
but if it was bai ze, it was impossible.
In the current situation, if he dared to disobey the sea god's Oracle, the guards of the temple would not only rebel on the spot, but there would also be a large-scale internal strife!
even if bai ze had been in the position of commander for decades, it was far from the point where he could completely manage the guards of the divine hall as his own private army.
The sea god was still the number one target of loyalty for most of the temple guards.
one step, two steps, three steps.
Bai Ze's face darkened as he watched Lin Yi's back get further and further away.
He had seen the performance of the divine Hall's guards. If he were to take action at this time, he might be deserted by his own people. He did not dare to take such a risk.
Plus, with his current situation, even if he could gather the temple guards, he was no match for Lin Yi's personal guards.
once the war started, the undefeatable golden body of the temple guards would probably be destroyed by lin yi's guards.
but he couldn't just let lin yi go see the high priest!
"lord lin, please wait."
bai ze finally spoke, and the atmosphere became tense, especially those who had begun to waver, and their faces showed tension.
"What can I do for you, commander Bai?" Lin Yi turned around.
bai ze glanced at the audience and said in a deep voice, " "i'm flattered. i heard that lord lin had received a letter of challenge from the abyssal queen and the nameless scholar.
Although my strength is limited and I can only withstand a few moves, I still have some understanding.
Since the letter of challenge has come, I believe that Lord Lin will have a battle with them sooner or later. Why don't you let me do my part to leave a little impression on Lord Lin?"
everyone was in an uproar.
Lin Yi couldn't help but applaud Bai Ze's quick-witted thinking. No wonder he could hold the position of commander for so long!
however, this also made lin yi understand why bai ze couldn't pass the threshold with his deep foundation.
there was no other reason. this person was overly cautious, but he was too overcautious.
If they didn't even have the courage to fight to the death, how could they climb to the top of the sea?
"I'll leave it to you then, commander Bai," Lin Yi turned around slowly.
"please," he said.
Bai Ze was relieved. He was really afraid that Lin Yi wouldn't agree. If that happened, there was nothing he could do. After all, he didn't dare to defy the sea God's order.
but since lin yi agreed, it was easy.
He'd already made it clear-attacking Lin Yi was just a friendly reminder. At least in name, this was a competition, not a public disobeying of the sea god's orders.
as for whether there would be any unexpected casualties in the process, it was not his fault.
After all, fists and legs had no eyes. Even the lowest-level civilian cultivators would die if they exchanged blows. At his level, the power of his movements was too great. It was normal for him to lose his life if he couldn't hold back.
of course, bai ze was still a little afraid of the oracle just now.
he didn't have the guts to kill lin yi right away, but he did have the guts to hurt lin yi, or even seriously injure him until he was never able to recover.
Lin Yi suddenly asked when Bai Ze was trying to figure out how badly he should have hurt Lin Yi."How many moves did commander Bai exchange with those two?"
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously replied, " "Six moves,"
back when he had fought with the queen of the abyss and the nameless scholar, he had been defeated in the sixth move. if high priest zhang xisheng had not been present, he would have been dead.
However, this was decades ago. His strength at that time was not the same as it was now. If it was now, Bai Ze admitted that even if he was still no match, he would not be able to withstand only six moves.
At the very least, he could last up to sixty moves, or even a hundred moves!
after all, there was only a thin line between his quasi-ceiling and the other ceiling-level powerhouses. even if the odds were slim, he would not be defeated so quickly.
"i'll give you five then," lin yi nodded.
Everyone was speechless.
bai ze was stunned for a long time before he reacted. he couldn't help but laugh."Does Lord Lin mean that you want to take me down within five moves?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yi, waiting for his answer.
lin yi's reputation was like the sun in the sky now, especially after the two letters of challenge appeared at the ascension ceremony. there were more and more discussions about whether his strength had reached the ceiling of the new sea region, and the corresponding voices were getting louder and louder.
however, this was ultimately just a discussion in the streets.
In fact, in the evaluation of the various authoritative intelligence agencies, Lin Yi's strength was still at the top of the line. At best, he could only be regarded as one of the top existences in this level.
Whether or not he could beat Bai Ze, who was an old-school top-tier player, was still an unknown.
After all, even if he had a record of 1.3 seconds, his persuasiveness in this aspect was limited.
