Beauty and the Bodyguard

10165 Chapter 10164-

If li shuangxiong knew about this in the netherworld, he would have crawled up and strangled him to death when he heard this. Even if sh * t had entered his brain, he shouldn’t be so brainless, right?

Someone beside him corrected him.”It’s definitely not an act. But I’m curious. Why didn’t li shuangxiong use the vicious water rule, which is the trademark of an ancient crocodile descendant? he couldn’t have been suppressed to the point where he couldn’t move, right?”

“How is that possible? He’s the one who’s being challenged-he’s the one who can suppress Lin Yi, how can Lin Yi suppress him?”

Little did he know that li shuangxiong really couldn’t move.

With the rapid evolution of the New World, it was hard for Lin Yi’s overall strength to increase significantly before the iconic event of the birth of life, but that didn’t mean that his combat strength wouldn’t increase.

Cultivation level was cultivation level, and battle prowess was battle prowess.

It was one thing for a normal practitioner, but it was a completely different thing for an animal like Lin Yi.

After the New World evolved further, the most obvious benefit was that he could control the world’s will more easily.

He was the one who had used the world’s will to forcefully clear the area and the rule bending power around li shuangxiong. The so-called rule bending experts were essentially borrowing power from the rules that constituted the world Order. Once the path was isolated, 90% of their strength would be lost.

Clearing the field with rules would undoubtedly be Lin Yi’s most important trump card in the future!

In the dead silence, Lin Yi raised his eyes.”Some of you want me to pay with my life, some of you want to take the opportunity to stand out. I can understand your thoughts, but everything has a price. Before you come up, you’d better ask yourself if you can afford the price.”

The other side was speechless.

Even though the silent march had barely been United because of Wei Yu ‘er’s death, it was still a motley crew in the end.

If there were benefits, there would naturally be people swarming over.

However, once they were hit in the head and the situation fell into a disadvantageous position, they would immediately be at a loss. In a more serious situation, they might even collapse on the spot.

“Did you kill Wei Yu ‘er?”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

This question also lingered in the minds of many people.

Although the public opinion was completely against Lin Yi, it didn’t mean that the whole world was against him.

Lin Yi’s appearance was, of course, a deliberate attempt by someone to smear his name and ruin his public relations, but from another perspective, it also showed that Lin Yi had a certain Foundation in the public.

Even though he was being criticized by the public, there were still many people who believed in him. However, in front of the millions of people who were marching in silence, their voices were suppressed.

Of course, no one knew what the person’s intentions were.

“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t kill him?” Lin Yi said.

Someone on the other side immediately retorted,”bullshit!” At that time, there were dozens of guards watching. One person might recognize the wrong person, but could dozens of people recognize the wrong person at the same time?”

Lin Yi smiled but didn’t answer. He suddenly removed his Chiyou form and changed into a completely different image to everyone’s surprise.

The high priest.

Everyone looked at the “high priest” in the middle and couldn’t help but look at the high priest on the main seat opposite them. With their eyesight, they couldn’t see the slightest difference, and even the fluctuations of their divine sense were exactly the same.

If they were to walk outside, at least 99% of them would have no doubt that this “high priest” on the stage was the person they were looking for.

“Can you really pass the fake for the real?”

Many people were immediately swayed, but even more people were waiting to see the high priest’s reaction.

Lin Yi’s way of doing things seemed to be a demonstration of his self-clarification, but of all people, he had to pretend to be the high priest-this was interesting.

He was obviously implying something.

But the high priest didn’t seem to be moved at all, as if he didn’t understand the meaning behind Lin Yi’s actions.

At this time, playing dead was the best strategy.

No matter what he did, he’d be able to draw the attention away from Lin Yi, and that’d be the same as helping Lin Yi out of the situation-he wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake with his rank.

As expected, people started targeting Lin Yi again.

“That’s a good idea. However, if you think that you can get away with it by passing off the real thing as a fake one, aren’t you underestimating everyone’s brains too much?”

“That’s right! Before there is any conclusive evidence to prove that it was someone else, you are the murderer of Wei Yu ‘er. No one can deny that!”

“A life for a life. Today, we only have one goal-you, Lin Yi, have committed a heinous crime and must pay the price!”

For a moment, the crowd was in a frenzy.

For high-level cultivators who had reached a certain level, it didn’t matter what others thought of them. This was a necessary mental process.

But facing the collective anger of a million people, the pressure was real-even Lin Yi couldn’t just ignore it.

When the top five advisors saw this, they broke out in a cold sweat for him.

Du Hong frowned,”once so many people’s emotions are stirred up, it’s not something that can be calmed by reasoning with facts. It’s hard for Lin Yi to break out of this situation by himself.”

Lin Yi was well aware of this, and he never thought of convincing the millions of people in front of him.

On such an occasion, the most effective and understandable way of speaking was to use one’s fist.

Lin Yi looked around and shrugged. “I’m standing right here. If you want me to pay the price, come on. I’ll take it.”

The other side immediately fell silent.

If li shuangxiong hadn’t learned his lesson, there would be many ambitious people who would be eager to try. But now, no one dared to go up.

Even those who had already reached the top of the combat power chose to stop and watch.

After all, it had only been two months since ao Yuzhou, the King of the West Ocean, had fallen.

They didn’t know how much Lin Yi had to do with this, but they wouldn’t do anything before someone found out who Lin Yi was. It’d be a joke if they ended up helping someone else.

Lin Yi waited for a long time before frowning.”Not a single one?”

The situation was extremely awkward.

“Why are we talking about the morals of the pugilistic world with a murderer like him? let’s attack together and avenge Wei Yu ‘er and our dead relatives!” Someone shouted.

The millions of people immediately became restless.

They wouldn’t have the guts to do that if the Poseidon shrine wanted to protect Lin Yi. After all, even they knew that they were at a disadvantage in every aspect, except for their numbers.

But now, from the high priest to the guards of the divine Hall, it was obvious that they were not doing anything, which was a completely different situation.
