"Whoever dares to take another step forward, I will kill him immediately!"

A furious shout plunged the square in front of the Jialan Imperial City's Linlang Pavilion into an eerie silence.

"Pfft~"

With a slight exertion from Lin Yi, the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand pierced through the skin on Meng Yin's neck, and a touch of crimson flowed from it.

"Stop!"

In an instant!

Several terrifying figures suddenly appeared around Lin Yi, among them was Ling Yudao.

Looking at Lin Yi's determined, fearless expression, even Ling Yudao himself felt unsteady:

"Young one, don't be rash!"

That is the Ao Sheng Empire's Tier Nine Divine Level!

Though not clear what just happened;

Nor did they know why the rapier in Lin Yi's hand could so easily break through Meng Yin's defense;

But at this moment, everyone clearly understood!

With just a little more force from Lin Yi, the sword would directly pierce through Meng Yin's throat, possibly ending his life right there and then.

Looking at Meng Yin, who fell into a coma due to severe injury, everyone was in a daze.

Looking at this mysterious man in front of them, everyone instinctively exchanged glances.

Yet one thing everyone understood was, Lin Yi must have some remarkable magic equipment.

Only then could all this be explained.

But... that magic equipment which can withstand a Tier Nine Divine King's blow...

In an instant.

Everyone's gaze on Lin Yi turned from shock to fervor.

At this moment:

"Release my General!!"

Charles suddenly stepped forward, glaring furiously at Lin Yi:

"No matter who you are."

He stared at Lin Yi with a mixture of astonishment and anger:

"You will surely regret your actions today."

I must admit.

Ever since encountering this person, Ao Sheng Empire has utterly lost face.

Looking at the stern and furious Charles, Lin Yi found it amusing that these Otherworld Continent people always had such peculiar logic.

From the start, this guy was looking for trouble with him.

Now, having landed in this predicament, he still dares to threaten him.

Perhaps in their eyes, those in high positions represent the truth of this world.

And as an ordinary passerby, he should have been trampled and used as a stepping stone from the beginning.

Even now that he holds the upper hand, he still cannot shake their self-centered thinking.

Is the Ao Sheng Empire really that powerful?

Lin Yi could not help but internally sneer:

"Pfft~"

As the Dragon Scale Sword continued to penetrate, even the unconscious Meng Yin let out a subconscious cry of pain:

"Ugh~"

Everyone around could not help but take a sharp breath when they saw this scene.

Charles hurriedly intervened:

"Stop!!!"

He looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, knowing that he held one of Ao Sheng Empire's Guardian Gods in his hands!

Could he really not understand the might of Ao Sheng Empire?

Was he truly unafraid of death?

But faced with Meng Yin's life on the line, Charles had no choice but to lower his proud head and angrily confront Lin Yi:

"What exactly do you want."

Lin Yi replied expressionlessly:

"Kneel, apologize!"

"And ensure you'll never bother me again."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Charles immediately shook his head without hesitation:

"Impossible!!!"

The demand for the Eldest Prince of Ao Sheng Empire to kneel on the street and apologize to Lin Yi.

This request is even more unacceptable than killing Charles on the street.

Therefore, faced with Lin Yi's request, Charles refused without a thought.

At this moment, not far away, a spirited old man suddenly spoke:

"Young brother, you must know."

"If you kill Meng Yin Divine King, not only will you die."

"Even your kin might be buried alongside."

"I think, why not take good fortune as a reward, let Ao Sheng Empire make some compensation?"

Must admit, as soon as the old man's words fell, they immediately gained approval from the majority nearby:

"Indeed!"

"No matter what, after today this Lin Yi will surely become famous across the continent."

"Famous across the continent? Pfft~ have you forgotten about the upcoming Divine Son Selection?"

"Wow~"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately reacted:

"If this person enters the Divine Son Selection, who will be his rival?"

With the emergence of this question, the surrounding area was filled with the sound of drawing breaths:

No one!

Throughout the Nine Nether Continent, even among the strongest young generation, absolutely no one could take down a Tier Nine expert like this.

Faced with this identity unknown, power terrifying man.

Many could already foresee that this Divine Son Selection would likely produce the biggest dark horse.

And his sudden appearance, it is obvious he will be on the list for the Divine Son Selection.

If he truly claims the position of Divine Son, would Ao Sheng Empire still dare to cause trouble for the Light Church?

At this thought, everyone's view of Lin Yi changed.

Amidst the heated discussions, clearly no one stood up to speak for the isolated Lin Yi.

All hoped Lin Yi would just let things be.

Yet, the more people thought this way, the more unhappy Lin Yi felt.

He mentioned a very harsh reality:

"What if I had died under his sword just now."

He coldly looked around at these onlookers and asked:

"Would anyone have stood up to say a just word for me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was left stunned.

The chatter abruptly ceased!

Even the elder who had just spoken fell silent.

Because everyone there knew, before the matter arose between Meng Yin and Lin Yi, any rational person would know how to choose a side.

Between the two, there was absolutely no comparison.

No one would risk offending the dominant Ao Sheng Empire to stand up for an unknown individual.

Even a fool would know how to choose.

Like Lin Yi mentioned, the result was actually already clear.

If Lin Yi had died under Meng Yin's sword just now, not only would no one speak for him.

Not stepping on Lin Yi's corpse would already be considered benevolent.

However, no one expected the situation to reverse so dramatically.

Seeing everyone's expression, though the result was long known, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

From beginning to end, the fault did not lie with him.

Yet as the victim, he received not a shred of sympathy or compassion.

It seemed like only his death was the outcome everyone hoped for.

Must admit.

Being born as an ordinary person in this world is an utter tragedy.

If he hadn't possessed sufficient power, he would already be a cold corpse lying on the ground now.

Lin Yi suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly:

'Being merely a passerby in this world, why feel indignant over its injustice?'

Just as Lin Yi was lost in thought, a sudden surge of alarming power rose from within.

Lin Yi abruptly snapped to attention:

'Not good!'

'Someone's attacking!'
