This was because Situ Qian definitely knew that Wei Shenjin had chased after him for revenge. At that time, she would definitely think that he was the one who killed Wei Shenjin.
What Lin Yi needed to do now was to ensure one thing- it didn't matter if Wei Shenjin was dead or not. Today's incident had to be blamed on Wufu Lingyi, and it had nothing to do with him.
After deliberately stopping for a moment to let the passerby experts who heard the news see his face clearly, Lin Yi then turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"That person looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?" Sure enough, a passerby expert said doubtfully.
"Eh? Isn't that Snow Sword Faction's Wei Shenjin? I remember now. A while ago, Snow Sword Faction put a man and a woman on the wanted list. That person just now seems to be the man. I think his name is Ling One or Ling Two! "Someone quickly reacted.
"Don't worry about that. Just inform Snow Sword Faction about this. Hehe, I heard that this guy is quite a show-off. He has always been popular with women. Who would have thought that he would end up like this? He might even lose his life. How miserable." A passerby expert immediately sent a message to Snow Sword Faction.
Wei Shenjin was attacked by Wufu Ling Yi. No one knew if he was dead or alive. This explosive news instantly shook the entire Snow Sword Faction. This was different from Sydney's elopement. Not only did it affect the faction's reputation, but it might also cause the death of a promising core disciple. For any faction, this was a huge matter!
Looking at Wei Shenjin's mangled body, Situ Qian almost cried until she fainted on the spot. If it wasn't for the fact that a few passerby experts insisted that Wei Shenjin was the culprit, she would have directly informed the higher-ups of the Sect and asked them to go to the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce to force Cai Zhongyang to hand over the culprit.
Once again, the Snow Sword Faction mobilized all their forces and issued a bounty for Wufu Ling Yi. And this time, they directly offered a bounty of ten thousand spirit jades!
A few days later, Wei Shenjin was rescued by the Snow Sword School and finally returned from the gates of hell. However, this news did not cheer up the entire Snow Sword School. Even Wei Shenjin himself became completely disheartened after learning of the situation and fainted.
Aside from the internal and external injuries in his eyes, all the meridians in his body had been shattered. He, Wei Shenjin, the core disciple of Snow Sword Faction who had received much attention, had now become a cripple. Geniuses had been reduced to dust, and they could not even compare to ordinary people.
All of this, however, had nothing to do with Lin Yi. The Snowsword Sect had been in an uproar because of Wei Shenjin's matter, but from start to finish, the blame had been placed on Wufu Lingyi, who didn't exist. It didn't affect him at all.
What Lin Yi needed to do now was to refine some fourth and fifth tier medicinal pills in addition to cultivating every day. Then, he would take a stroll around Tiandan Pavilion. It was a peaceful and comfortable life that he had never had before.
After the auction, there was an endless stream of customers who came because of the auction. In the past few days, Tiandan Pavilion's business could be said to be unprecedentedly booming. The daily sales were already close to the first day's opening. If this continued, the business would only get better and better. It was completely on the right track, and everyone who saw it felt happy.
However, while Lin Yi and the others were overjoyed, The Will of Heaven had a worried expression on his face for the past few days. In fact, he had no choice but to find Lin Yi to drink.
"Big Brother Tian, what's bothering you?" Lin Yi drank a few cups with The Will of Heaven before asking. In his eyes, The Will of Heaven had always been a person with a strong mind. Even with his meridians shattered, he had been able to persist for so many years. Ordinary matters should not have been able to make him so depressed.
"Hey, Brother Lin Yi, I have indeed been depressed for the past two days. The fickleness of human nature is the fickleness of the world. Favors are truly unreliable. In the end, I can only rely on myself," said The Will of Heaven with a wry smile.
"Brother Tian, tell me, what happened?" asked Lin Yi.
"A few days ago, I thought I would be able to see a few old friends in the middle island auction. In the end, not a single one of them appeared. So, the day after I returned, I went to the Island Lord Pavilion at the summit of Middle Cauldron Mountain. I wanted to see my old friends and restore my position as Vice Island Lord. In any case, my injuries are no longer a problem. It is just a matter of time," said The Will of Heaven as he drank.
"And then? Did something happen? "Lin Yi vaguely guessed what had happened.
"Hmph, I thought it would be a matter of course. I didn't expect the Island Lord to reject my request with the excuse of my absence in the Island Lord Pavilion all these years. He said he wanted to hold a meeting to discuss it. What disappointed me the most was the attitude of my old friends who were Vice Island Lords. None of them were willing to stand up for me. It really made me feel disappointed and speechless. To think that I had always thought that they were my loyal friends!" The Will of Heaven said indignantly.
After listening, Lin Yi did not look surprised. No matter how powerful they were, they could not escape the word snobbish.
"This is actually not incomprehensible. From their standpoint, no matter which one of them, I'm afraid they would not want you, a Vice Island Lord, to come out and fight for power with them. What do you think, Brother Tian?" Lin Yi analyzed for him.
"Yeah, it's not that I don't understand that. It's just that every time I think about it, I still feel suffocated!" The Will of Heaven sighed, "If only that old man Zhang Liju was here. He's the famous Island Lord of Sky Class Island. Even the Island Lord would have to think twice about his words. It's too bad that he's always been elusive. It's hard to find him."
"Forget it. In my opinion, they're probably using this to test Big Brother Tian's bottom line, and they want to find out exactly how much strength you've recovered. Once they see through it, they'll probably become even more ruthless." Lin Yi shook his head.
He didn't know how strong The Will of Heaven was, but one thing was for sure. The Will of Heaven's strength was far from his peak. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a situation.
At the end of the day, strength was the deciding factor. If he wanted to get those people to agree, relying on favors wouldn't work. The only way was to quickly recover his strength. That was the right way.
"I won't hide it from you, lil bro. My strength has already recovered to the peak of Golden Core Late Stage. I'm only one step away from recovering my Nascent Soul, but it's this last step … Sigh …" The Will of Heaven sighed helplessly.
With his combat strength, Golden Core Full Stage was definitely not weak. But to think that he could recover his position as the Vice Island Lord of Middle Island with that alone was a pipe dream.
The key was that strength wasn't something he could recover just because he wanted to. If it was below Nascent Soul, it was still fine. With the attainments of The Will of Heaven, he could easily do it, but Nascent Soul was already close to his peak. It would be very difficult for him to break through in a short period of time.
