He had two big shots at the peak of their strength, and yet he was still afraid of not being able to protect himself. This was beyond Lin Yi's expectations.
"Maybe not, but I can't afford to bet on it. I can only put my eggs in two baskets and feel a little more at ease."
Wang sanjue smiled bitterly."Jianghai Academy will be the last line of defense. If I'm not wrong, many families will be making similar arrangements. If Lin Yi is interested, you can keep an eye on it."
The so-called 'take note' actually meant that he could take the opportunity to do some business that would make him a huge profit.
As one of the Big Five of the retained students, if Lin Yi didn't look good, he'd be able to get a lot of people to go after him even if he asked for protection money, let alone doing business.
Many precious resources that would never be taken out in normal times would often flow into the market at this time. After all, compared to one's life and the survival of the family, no matter how precious the resources were, they had to be ranked behind.
"Thank you for your guidance."
Lin Yi had a plan in mind-he wouldn't do anything like taking advantage of someone's situation, but it was a different story if they were both taking what they needed.
Normally, even if he was one of the five major retained students, it wasn't easy for him to collect perfect-grade territory stones. However, it might be a different story if he had the intention to ask around now.
He was only one piece away from the ultimate five elements domain.
Plant-type perfect domain origin stone!
In this area, there were far fewer cultivators with plant-type spiritual roots than other types of spiritual roots. There were even fewer cultivators with mutated spiritual roots like wind-type spiritual roots, so the corresponding plant-type domain origin stone was naturally much less.
In fact, most of them had never even heard of it.
After saying goodbye to Wang sanjue, Lin Yi started his closed door training.
With his previous experience, cultivating a single element perfect domain was a piece of cake for him. The difficult part was how to integrate it into his existing perfect Five Element domains.
But even if they hadn't merged yet, the special properties of the spiritual roots would make Lin Yi even more powerful.
Whether it was the wind element that he had cultivated before, or the ice, mist, or lightning elements that he was cultivating now, they all had their own strong points.
Even if it was used alone, it was enough to play tricks in Lin Yi's hands, making it impossible to guard against.
Just as Lin Yi was in his retreat, an official letter from the city Lord's mansion was delivered to Grand Elder Wang sanjue.
"You want us to hand Lin Yi over?"
Wang Tianfeng, who had already sat on the family's throne, read the contents of the letter and couldn't help but be dumbfounded."Lin Yi's one of the five major retained students. Does the mayor want to start a war with Jianghai Academy?"
Last time, Lin Yi was just a new student, and after being detained by the king of Nanjiang, the ten council members were all forced to come out, even the chief Xu Anshan.
Now that his status was different from the past, if the city Lord Mansion really dared to make a move, even the Tian family might have to personally come out.
If that were to happen, there would be no room for compromise. It would certainly turn into a full-scale clash between the city Lord's mansion and Jianghai Academy!
"Does li songzhang really have the guts to do that?"
Wang Tianfeng had some interactions with li songzhang when he was young. Based on his understanding of the city Lord, he could not imagine that the other party would dare to take the initiative to attack Jianghai Academy.
"It's hard to say if he has the guts, but our Wang family is really being roasted on The Fire This Time!"Wang sanjue laughed bitterly.
While the Wang family was a behemoth compared to the other factions, it was still far from being on par with the city Lord's mansion and Jianghai Academy.
Caught in between the two, the slightest mistake in strategy would result in him being crushed into dregs.
"If I had known earlier, I would have sent the talisman making society away. At such a sensitive time, I really shouldn't have been greedy."
Wang Tianfeng was full of regret.
Although he was not like Wang Tianwen and the others who wanted to swallow up the talisman making society in one gulp, he still wanted to be deeply bound to the talisman making society for the sake of his family's interests.
Normally, this decision wouldn't be wrong, but at this sensitive time, binding himself to the society was the same as binding himself to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was the target of everyone!
If they didn't follow the order, it was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the city lord's estate. The Wang family couldn't afford this price.
On the other hand, if they handed Lin Yi over, they'd lose more than they'd gain by offending the five big names, not to mention if they had the strength to do so.
Not to mention the fact that it might even involve the entire Jianghai Academy!
In a dilemma, no matter what he chose, it was still lightning!
Just as the two of them were hesitating, a teasing voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Since the two of you don't know what to choose, why don't I trouble myself to help you?"
Along with the voice, several figures appeared in the room without any warning.
There were a total of seven people.
The leader of the group was a young man with an unruly temperament. The other six people were all wearing ghost masks, and each of them exuded an unusually fierce aura.
Grand Elder Wang sanjue was expressionless. On the other hand, although Wang Tianfeng was also someone who had experienced great storms, he could not help but change his expression.
All of them were experts at the peak of the late stage of the consummate level!
The unruly youth in the lead seemed to have already taken that step and was suspected to be a Big Shot at the perfected final realm!
"The city Lord's mansion's once-in-a-thousand-year genius, Qin Renjie?"
The information about this person flashed through Wang Tianfeng's mind, and he was even more shocked.
There were also monsters in the city Lord's mansion.
Even though the city Lord's mansion was not as powerful as the Jianghai Academy, it still had control over most of the resources in Jianghai city.
It was said that this Qin Renjie in front of him had a breakthrough every day. Starting from the foundation establishment stage, he had reached a height that most cultivators could not reach in their entire lives in just two months.
Not only that, the Reaper squad he was in charge of was a taboo existence among all the upper echelons of Jianghai city. They were specifically designed to behead and hunt down top-class experts, and everyone's face would change at the mention of it!
The former family head of Jianghai's number one family, Zhao jinghen, the gang's leader, Chen Wudi, tianzui Wu Chen ... All of them were famous names, but they only became the death god team's infamous name in the end.
Wang Tianfeng couldn't be blamed for being so shocked, it was really the shadow of a famous tree.
The fact that this group of people could appear in their own territory without anyone knowing meant that the protective formation that the Wang family was so proud of was completely ineffective against them. It was as if they had entered a no-man's land.
Once the other party had the thought of beheading him, the scene would be unimaginable.
Qin Renjie looked at Wang Tianfeng,"it's easy now that you've heard of my name. To be honest, I've come with two missions this time. I can either bring Lin Yi back or your heads back. I can choose one of the two. Why don't you help me make a choice?"
Wang Tianfeng looked at Wang sanjue.
"The Reaper squad is indeed famous," Wang sanjue said indifferently."But it's not good to treat our Wang family like nothing, right?"
