Chapter 12976
Unfortunately, no sane person with a clear mind would agree to such a thing.
Jin Buhuan, carefully choosing his words, reminded him, "Young Master Lin, this Shen Taiyi's background is indeed extraordinary, but I can't go into the specifics of his origins."
"All you need to know is that even in the core area of the Divine Realm, this person is a well-known second-generation god."
"It's best not to provoke him unless absolutely necessary."
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment: "They came to our door to cause trouble, how did I provoke them? If they hadn't sent people to our door, I wouldn't even know this person existed."
Jin Buhuan was silent for a few seconds before cautiously saying, "How about this, Young Master Lin, you can transfer this Immortal Divine Armor to him first, and then I'll try to get you another Immortal Divine Armor from the God of Wealth Academy."
"With Elder Zhao's connections and your status as a special member, this matter should still be manageable."
"This way, you won't offend either side, and you won't lose out, Young Master Lin."
"What do you think?"
Lin Yi fell silent.
Jin Buhuan quickly added, "Young Master Lin, rest assured, I will do my best to help you choose an immortal divine weapon of sufficient quality that will definitely satisfy you."
Lin Yi said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I still quite like this Wheel of Annihilation, so there's no need to go through all this trouble."
Jin Buhuan was stunned, hesitant to speak.
Lin Yi continued, "This is my stuff. If I were to give it away just because of someone else's words, I wouldn't be Lin Yi."
Although Jin Buhuan's suggestion wasn't bad, from Lin Yi's perspective, it was still frustrating.
The immortal divine equipment that clearly belonged to him was handed over to someone else just because they sent someone to threaten him.
Lin Yi would never do such a thing in his entire life!
Moreover, if this were to be done, the God of Wealth Academy would inadvertently owe a huge favor.
Although Lin Yi didn't mind social obligations, he didn't want to incur such favors for no reason.
Jin Buhuan smiled wryly and said, "In that case, Young Master Lin, you should still be careful of Shen Taiyi. This second-generation god is not simple, and the people around him are not simple characters either."
Lin Yi nodded: "I know what I'm doing."
The two ended the call.
On the other side, Zhang Baiyu had already entered with a communication jade talisman, which contained detailed information about Yan Shiqi.
Zhang Baiyu sincerely praised, "The movie star is very efficient. The master sent him to establish an outpost in the open area of the Divine Realm. It's a good appointment."
Lin Yi smiled and nodded: "He is indeed not bad."
The actor's abilities are beyond doubt. In such a short time, with extremely limited resources, he has already built a preliminary intelligence network in the open area of the Divine Realm.
Based on this ability alone, he holds an indispensable position among the core members of the Lin Yi Group.
Zhang Baiyu then said, "Yan Shiqi's information is all here, but the Movie Emperor can't find the information on Shen Taiyi either."
Lin Yi was not surprised at all.
He's a second-generation god from the core area of the Divine Realm. If he were in the open area of the Divine Realm, he would be an unspeakable big shot. It's normal that we can't find any relevant information about him.
Lin Yi said, "Let's ignore him for now and study this Yan Shiqi first."
Zhang Baiyu nodded, opened all the information in the jade talisman, and displayed it in front of Lin Yi, while explaining it to him:
"This person is indeed as he said, having made 78 attempts in ten years without a single failure. He is currently the most sought-after divine-armored hunter in the open area of the Divine Realm."
As Lin Yi flipped through the documents, he raised an eyebrow and said, "This person has quite a few tricks up his sleeve."
Zhang Baiyu nodded: "Indeed, they keep coming out one after another. From what we can see, this person has mastered extremely sophisticated thieving skills. Of the seventy-eight pieces of divine equipment, forty-two were stolen solely through thieving techniques. It's impossible to guard against them."
"Of the remaining thirty-six items, eighteen were forcibly robbed by him and his men, including some that resulted in the massacre of entire families."
"The other eighteen items were mainly devoured by him step by step through his schemes. He either sowed discord and used other forces to suppress the target, or he used psychological offensives to break through the opponent's psychological defenses and force them to hand over the divine equipment voluntarily."
"In short, this person is capable in every way, and once he sets his sights on someone, it is truly impossible to defend against him."
"This is an enemy not to be underestimated."
Lin Yi seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly blurted out, "Do you think that the sudden appearance of such a person at this critical juncture is purely a coincidence, or a result of the Return to the Past ceremony?"
Zhang Baiyu was taken aback upon hearing this: "Does Your Excellency mean that the Return Ceremony has already begun?"
Lin Yi didn't speak, but with a flick of his hand, the Wheel of Annihilation appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, the entire body of the Wheel of Annihilation was enveloped by an invisible and mysterious power, which could not be penetrated by any external force.
This is clearly the effect of the Returning Home ritual.
Otherwise, as its owner, Lin Yi wouldn't be unable to even use it.
Lin Yi clicked his tongue: "Given the current situation, even if I wanted to transfer it, I couldn't. I can only go down this path to the bitter end."
Even if that's not what he says, given his personality, he would never give it up so easily.
Zhang Baiyu pondered for a moment: "In this light, it is highly likely that Yan Shiqi's visit is part of the Return to Home ceremony."
"It's really difficult to get through these three days in the normal way, starting with this level of test."
Lin Yi agreed wholeheartedly: "Just dealing with Yan Shiqi alone is already quite a challenge."
"Even if we can suppress him, according to the ritual of returning home, all sorts of unexpected and uncontrollable events will inevitably occur next, making it even more difficult to prevent."
In short, Yan Shiqi is only the first hurdle, and most likely the easiest one.
Lin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "This person's arrival is just in time. Isn't he good at using someone else's strength against them? I might as well learn from him."
Zhang Baiyu instantly realized: "Does the master intend to let him take the Wheel of Annihilation away, and then take it back from him three days later?"
Lin Yi smiled and nodded: "This person is strong enough, professional enough, and most importantly, has enough methods."
"Once the Wheel of Annihilation falls into his hands, it is unlikely that he will be able to get rid of it, no matter what unforeseen circumstances occur."
Zhang Baiyu did not agree, but instead frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he analyzed, "The key to completing the Returning Home ritual is to find it again three days later."
"Having a clear target like Yan Shiqi is indeed much easier to deal with than having an unknown, uncontrollable target."
"But there's a crucial question here: can this Yan Shiqi truly protect the Wheel of Annihilation?"
Lin Yi nodded and said, "This is the part I need to gamble on. I'm betting that when the Wheel of Annihilation is in his hands, those unforeseen circumstances will be easier to handle than when it's in my hands." (End of Chapter)
