"If I used this against you, what would you do?" Lin Yi asked.
“……”
Jiang xiaoshang immediately fell silent.
If this move could deal with the former beast God, it could deal with him too. To a certain extent, it was equivalent to him putting his life in Lin Yi's hands.
He'd really be dead if Lin Yi had any ill-intentions towards him.
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile at the reaction.
Of course, he could see the deeper meaning behind Jiang xiaoshang's actions. Rather than saying that Jiang xiaoshang was helping him deal with the former beast God, it was more like Jiang xiaoshang was taking the initiative to submit a pledge of Allegiance when the situation was not looking good.
If he hadn't shown his loyalty, Lin Yi might've done something to him.
After all, he'd been hiding a lot of things from Lin Yi, and he knew very well that Lin Yi wasn't a good person.
Jianghai city Lord's mansion.
Zhao Wuji and the other two beast God's advisors joined forces to enter the city Lord's office, only to find it empty. "Where's Li songzhang?"
"Looks like he went to be a spy again. He doesn't do his job all day long, what a waste!"
The woman cursed disdainfully and then suggested,""I'm going to report to the beast God Hall and get rid of him. We'll find a more reliable human puppet to replace him. Who's willing to chime in?"
In name, li songzhang was still the master of the city Lord's mansion, but he was under the supervision of the three beast God's advisors.
As long as the three of them reached a consensus, they had the right to dismiss li songzhang from his position as the city Lord.
"Even though he's not doing his proper work, he has a blood feud with Jianghai Academy. There's no need to worry about him not putting in any effort. I don't like him either, but objectively speaking, this person has some value in being recycled."
"What do you say?"
The woman turned to look at Ying long, who was silent.
Ying long had the least experience among the three of them. His strength wasn't outstanding compared to them. In theory, he had the least right to speak. He could only obey the two.
However, Ying Long's identity was special. If he really opened his mouth, neither she nor Zhao Wuji would dare to ignore him.
"In order to not give The Crippled God a chance, the situation in Jianghai has to be stabilized as soon as possible. Li songzhang's undercover operation is an opportunity." Ying long said slowly.
The woman was a little unwilling, but she could only obey the majority.""If that's the case, then give him one last chance to prove himself. If he still can't wipe out all the remaining scum of Jianghai Academy, then he'll have to take responsibility!"
What they didn't know was that li songzhang had already decided to give up.
He'd been in the intelligence Department for half a month, and he'd thought he was about to succeed, but Lin Yi hadn't shown any signs of him.
From the beginning to the end, he had been hiding a sense of loneliness.
To be honest, half a month's time was nothing to an undercover agent. There were many real professionals who had been in hiding for several years.
But he was different.
The three beast God walkers sat there. Even though he was stronger than them, he was still under great pressure.
If he couldn't produce results as soon as possible, he wouldn't even be able to maintain his current position, let alone advance in the beast God Hall!
There had been no news for half a month, which was already a serious dereliction of duty.
"Were those just smokescreens? Are you just covering up for other things?"
Just as li songzhang couldn't help but decide to give up, an order suddenly came from the intelligence office's direct line.
"Quickly submit more detailed information about patrol Dragon Bay, as well as the information about the recent patrol of patrol Dragon Bay by thief li."
Li songzhang suddenly perked up.
Hard work paid off, and the opportunity had finally come!
"This Lin Yi kid is really cunning-he's taking this long to investigate, he's really careful."
Li songzhang felt that he had completely seen through Lin Yi's thoughts. The bait he set up before was effective, but Lin Yi's patience and caution were far beyond his expectations.
If it wasn't for his patience, he would have failed.
What he didn't know was that his series of reactions were all within Lin Yi and Luo Banshi's expectations.
With the methods of this group of people, if they really put in the effort to set a trap for someone, no one in the entire Jianghai city would be able to escape, including him, a half-step venerable!
"Only the fish that he had worked so hard to catch would taste good. Only then would he believe it."
Banshi said with a smile.
As a time ability user with more than 20% control over the rules, even though it was difficult for him to see the real future related to li songzhang due to the difference in their realms, he could still deduce some vague scenes.
He was the one who designed li songzhang this time.
Tian Xiangyang's expression was serious as he warned Lin Yi,""Remember, in this battle against li songzhang, the half division and I will be the main force. Your task is to be the bait to lure him out and then pin down the rest of the people in the city Lord's mansion. Don't try to be brave and come over to join in the fun."
"Half-step Venerables are no small matter," Banshi Luo added."You can't handle them now. If anything happens to us, don't even think about helping us."
When the time comes, what you need to do the most is to escape with your life intact and think of a way to evacuate the rest of the people, understand?"
Lin Yi didn't know what to say after seeing the two's expressions."It can't be to this extent, right? With the strength of the two of you, even if the plan failed and Li songzhang escaped, it shouldn't be impossible for you to come back, right?"
"You're right, but ..."
Tian Xiangyang laughed in a carefree manner,""I have a bad feeling about this."
All experts would have a sudden impulse, especially at Tian Xiangyang's level, he could sense many things in advance.
Including life and death.
"Then cancel the operation." Lin Yi frowned.
Compared to Tian Xiangyang's safety, li songzhang's life was nothing. If anything were to happen to Tian Xiangyang, even if he were to kill li songzhang, it would not be worth it.
After all, li songzhang was just a dog of the darkness demon beast. On the other hand, Tian Xiangyang was the only person who could unite the various factions of Jianghai Academy.
No one could replace his position.
Banshi Luo couldn't be replaced, and Lin Yi couldn't be replaced either.
Tian Xiangyang shook his head with a smile,"there are some things that you can't avoid even if you want to. If I were to avoid them this time, the situation would only get worse. It's better to face it calmly. If I'm lucky, there might be a chance for me to turn things around."
Remember, kid, sometimes, you have to gamble with your life. "
"Life wager ..."
Lin Yi really didn't expect a normal fishing operation to turn out like this.
But now that things had come to this, he couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
