The other thirty-six families could kill the donkey when it was done, but he couldn't.
After all, the zongheng family's profits were already deeply tied to Lin Yi from the very beginning. If they killed Lin Yi after he'd done it, it would mean that all the returns that the thirty-six houses had promised them would go to waste.
Protecting Lin Yi's interests at this time was protecting its own interests.
The White skeleton was very clear about this point.
Lin Yi, of course, was well aware of this-he'd never thought that the guy would be so kind to him, and he was just surprised at the guy's thought process.
Such a clear-headed fellow, not to mention a group of skeletons, even among human cultivators, was a rare species.
Faced with the White skeleton's question, the higher-ups of the other thirty-six families were obviously a little embarrassed.
? After all, they were all self-proclaimed descendants of the Saints, and they were the most outstanding ones with the most saint's virtue among all the descendants. Usually, they would speak the words " Zi Shi Yun ", so it was indeed a bit embarrassing for them to break their promise in front of others at this time.
However, compared to the huge benefits, this little bit of face could only be put behind.
The old skeleton, who was known as the head of the scholarly faction, had great prestige among the thirty-six schools. Since it had spoken at this time, it could only respond to the doubts.
master zongheng, you can't say that. The sages and ancestors said that those who are not of our race must have a different heart!
an entire set of level 10 Saint bones! That's the wealth of all 36 of us! If we give it all to him as a human slave, what about us? "
"Do we still need to train the disciples of our thirty-six families? Do we still want to develop and grow?"
"What if this human slave has thoughts that he shouldn't have and breaks free from the shackles of being a slave? what should we do then?"
"Don't forget, this kind of thing has happened before."
The White skeleton was rendered speechless by his words.
It wasn't that it really couldn't refute, but unconsciously, it found itself standing on the opposite side of the entire thirty-six families.
Lin Yi winning the most important battle for them was supposed to be a great thing, and the zongheng family should have gotten an unprecedented profit from the success of this bet.
But now it seemed that it was still too simple.
If the zongheng family wanted to eat more, the other thirty-six families would have to eat less.
Those families with low status might not be a big deal, but no matter what, they were destined not to get any meat, but to drink the soup.
However, a top-tier family like the confucians would never allow any other family to threaten or challenge their leadership position. This naturally included the school of vertical and horizontal!
Since it had the name of the school of vertical and horizontal, even if it wasn't the school of vertical and horizontal of the hundred schools of thought in the secular world, the White skeleton knew the essence of the Union of vertical and horizontal.
At this time, directly clashing with the confucians and forcing him to stand against these thirty-six schools was definitely the worst possible plan!
Seeing this, the head of the scholarly faction said earnestly, ""Don't worry, master zongheng. All 36 of us are descendants of Saints, and we won't do anything immoral to our own people. We won't miss out on any of the benefits we promised you before."
but this human slave is the only one who can't afford the reward of an entire set of level 10 Saint bones. It's too much.
"It's not good for our thirty-six clans, and it's not good for him either."
The rest of skeleton's upper echelons chimed in.
The White skeleton looked at Lin Yi and hesitated.
Out of reason, it knew that it should not continue to fight. The more it fought, the harder it would be to clean up the situation.
But at the same time, if he sacrificed Lin Yi's reward, the benefits he could get in the future would be greatly reduced.
As for what the other party had said, it would not be lacking in anything. This kind of nonsense could only deceive inexperienced children. If even it believed it, then it could only say that it, the zongheng family, deserved to be deceived.
He was in a dilemma.
"I have a question," Lin Yi suddenly spoke up,"are all the high-level executives of the thirty-six houses here already?"
Upon hearing this, the skeletons were stunned for a moment before they immediately rebuked sternly, ""This is a high-level meeting of our thirty-six families. You're just a human slave. Who gave you the right to speak? You don't have any sense at all, you really deserve to be a lowly slave!"
As he spoke, he was about to call for the skeleton to take Lin Yi away.
However, the skeleton master who was the closest to Lin Yi didn't even see him move when he heard two crisp sounds-his bones were shattered on the ground.
The entire place fell into a strange silence.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, interesting. You skeletons seem to be much weaker than human cultivators in terms of bearing auras.
The higher-ups of the skeleton army looked at each other.
Just based on his aura ... They could shatter the elite experts of their race? What a joke!
The head of the scholarly faction said in a deep voice,'what are you still standing there for? Suppress this human slave who doesn't know the rules. Even if he continues to stand here, he will be a disgrace to our thirty-six families!"
Lin Yi's display of strength in the fight was indeed shocking, but the system of power was different, after all. Plus, they were only watching from the stands, so they didn't really experience how terrifying it was.
Besides, they instinctively thought that Lin Yi could only use rule force because of the blessing of the Saint ancestors, temporarily unsealing him.
Now that the altar fight was over, the rule power from hundred Saint city should have returned to Lin Yi's body.
In their eyes, Lin Yi was no different from any other human slave. He had no power to resist them.
At best, they had rough skin and thick flesh, which made them more resistant to attacks.
"Hold on!"
no! the White skeleton stopped him. he's a member of the school of vertical and horizontal. Even if he needs to be disciplined, it's not up to others to do it!
The group of elite skeleton experts looked at the head of the scholarly faction in unison.
Although the confucians were publicly acknowledged as the head of the thirty-six schools of thought, the school of vertical and horizontal was not to be trifled with, and they did not dare to rashly offend them.
"Do your job well, and I'll explain everything to the heads of the zongheng family," the head of the scholarly faction said in an indifferent voice.
Seeing that the group of elite skeleton experts were about to take him down in front of it, the White skeleton was furious. "Can you bear the consequences of slapping my family's face like this? Or do you think that the zongheng family is all soft-boned and doesn't dare to directly shed all pretense of cordiality?"
It wasn't that it hadn't thought of swallowing its anger, but there were some things that it couldn't back off just because it wanted to.
If he took a step back, he might have nothing left.
