Chapter 13036
At this moment, Zhang Baiyu rushed in: "Sir, we just received intelligence that the people from the Goddess Academy have arrived at the Lin family."
"There are quite a few people here, and they are all in a closed secret realm. They must be doing something big."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "What big move?"
Zhang Baiyu replied, "This still requires further observation and analysis."
Lin Yi walked up to the map of Tianjun, and the World Will quietly unfolded, focusing its scan on the area where the Lin family was located.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Yi's eyes changed slightly, and a strange look appeared on his face: "This Lin Hongchou, being the head of the Lin family is not enough, she is preparing to become an empress."
Zhang Baiyu and Cao Mang, standing to the side, were both taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yi said with a deep gaze, "The people from the Goddess Academy are conducting a Heavenly Dao Ceremony, preparing to bestow the title of Lord of Heavenly County upon Lin Hongchou."
Cao Mang immediately exclaimed, "Is she crazy? With just a second-rate family, she thinks she can be the ruler of a county? Does she think we're all dead?"
Zhang Baiyu analyzed, "It's not impossible."
Cao Mang looked astonished: "Are you sure? With her abilities, who could the mere Lin family possibly defeat? Could it be that the Goddess Academy is personally sending experts to conquer Tianjun on her behalf?"
While not entirely impossible, the possibility is extremely slim.
After all, Tianjun has layers of restrictions, and even though these restrictions are gradually being relaxed, they are not completely lifted yet.
Even if the Goddess Academy were to send down a group of experts at great cost, they would most likely only suffer defeat against the now powerful Lin Yi Group, which seems like a bad deal no matter how you look at it.
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "All she wants is the title of Lord of Tianjun; there's no need for real fighting."
Cao Mang was completely confused.
Zhang Baiyu explained, "Lin Hongchou's move was to use the Heavenly Dao ritual to fraudulently obtain an identity parallel to that of the adult from the Heavenly Dao."
"In this way, Tianjun will have two rulers, at least according to the understanding of the Heavenly Dao."
"When the Goddess Academy wants to establish an outpost again, it will not need the adults' approval, because Lin Hongchou has the same authority."
Cao Mang was stunned after hearing this: "I really can't believe they came up with this!"
"No? Does she really think that having this title means she can be on equal footing with adults?"
"Isn't she afraid that an adult will slap her to death?"
Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu exchanged a glance: "They might actually be thinking that way."
After a moment's thought, Lin Yi immediately ordered, "Send word to the Lin family to immediately terminate their cooperation with the Goddess Academy, or they will bear the consequences."
He was now completely certain that Lin Hongchou was the target chosen by the fusion ceremony.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to create such a large-scale operation in such a short time.
The cost of the Goddess Academy organizing such a grand Heavenly Dao ceremony for her would be enormous; the Lin family's influence alone simply couldn't support it.
The only explanation is the influence of the fusion ritual.
To be fair, the influence of the Immortal Armor is truly terrifying. A mere fusion ceremony can mobilize such a vast amount of resources, even involving the Goddess Academy, which is truly unbelievable.
Of course, the Goddess Academy itself also had its own intentions in this.
The two parties hit it off immediately.
The biggest impact of the fusion ceremony was that it led the Goddess Academy to select Lin Hongchou.
After all, looking across Tianjun, she wasn't the only cooperation target with similar qualifications.
Cao Mang asked, "Should it be passed on only to the Lin family, or spread throughout Tianjun?"
Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile: "Of course, it will spread throughout Tianjun."
Although Tianjun is currently at peace, undercurrents are still surging beneath the surface.
After all, the opportunity of the main god is right here, and various forces are secretly interfering. Now, by taking advantage of the Lin family's situation, they can make a show of force.
The announcement caused an uproar throughout Tianjun.
The new Heavenly Palace did not use any harsh words, nor did it specify any particular punishment; it simply used four words.
You will be responsible for the consequences.
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.
Everyone understands this principle.
Those in Tianjun who had initially thought the Lin family was related to Lin Yi were now completely baffled.
Were all the previous rumors wrong?
But if the Lin family has no connection with Lin Yi, why has their rise been so rapid recently? Could it really be due to the personal abilities of Lin Hongchou, the new head of the family?
If that's really the case, then she truly lives up to the title of the Lin family's female lead!
Everyone was waiting to see the Lin family's reaction, or more precisely, Lin Hongchou's reaction.
Should we back down, stall for time, or ask someone to intercede on our behalf?
As for directly confronting the new Tiangong, that possibility is simply nonexistent.
Ultimately, it's just a second-rate family. No matter how strong its upward momentum, the difference in size is still there.
Compared to Lin Yi's New Heavenly Palace, it might be an exaggeration to say they are as insignificant as ants, but to describe them as a mantis trying to stop a chariot would be absolutely apt.
It is widely believed that Lin Hongchou will most likely ask someone to intercede on her behalf, or even go to her door in person to plead for mercy.
Even without a direct blood relationship, just because they share the same surname, Lin Yi, as the ruler of Tianjun, couldn't be too harsh on her, a woman.
As a result, just one incense stick later, Lin Hongchou personally issued a notice, which was also announced to the entire Tianjun.
"Tianjun has always been a land of aristocratic families! My Lin family has never stolen or robbed; we have developed through our own strength, step by step, to get to where we are today. Outsiders have no right to interfere with what we do!"
Lin Hongchou added one last sentence: "Outsiders have usurped high positions and taken a huge advantage of our Tianjun aristocratic families. They should have some self-awareness."
The entire Tianjun was silent.
After a long while, someone in the teahouse murmured, "This woman is truly brave."
More than just brave, Lin Hongchou's statement was seen as invincible by everyone!
Where does your Lin family get the confidence to confront Lin Yi, the powerful Lord of Tianjun, so directly?
Do they really think they're invincible just because they've climbed up to the Goddess Academy?
Whether it's the Goddess Academy or the Beast God Academy, they've already suffered countless defeats at Lin Yi's hands. Haven't they learned their lesson yet?
Not to mention the other parties, even Lin Yi, who had expected this, was stunned.
"I can't quite keep up with this person's thought process."
Given the influence of the fusion ritual with the Mask of Killing Intent, it was expected that Lin Hongchou would not give up easily. However, the intensity of her reaction, her desperate and reckless attitude, was still incomprehensible.
No?
What makes her so special?
It's understandable to want to be tough, but no matter how tough you are, you should at least consider what cards you have in your hand first.
Before Lin Yi could respond, Lin Hongchou spoke again.
"Who is the rightful heir in Tianjun? Who has the right to decide the fate of Tianjun? Today, I, Lin Hongchou, formally challenge Lin Yi. In front of everyone in Tianjun, let's have a debate to find out!"
"Let Heaven decide who is right and who is wrong!" (End of Chapter)
