128: Chapter 128 Holy Mansion Recruitment 128: Chapter 128 Holy Mansion Recruitment Lu Tianyu wiped the blood off his sword blade and glanced disdainfully at Situ Xiong on the ground, saying, “Shameless old man, to strike a junior with lethal intent, I despise people like you the most.”

“Thank you, senior.”

Lin Yi immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Lu Tianyu.

“Thank him for what?

If it weren’t for his mishandling, how could the people from Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy have shown up here?”

The person who spoke without any courtesy was Lu Li.

Poked squarely by Lu Li, Lu Tianyu spread his hands helplessly, “I had already intercepted them, but who could have expected Master Xuan Long, that old fox, to pull off a ‘golden cicada shedding its skin’ and shake us off.”

“Fortunately, I didn’t arrive late.

But what’s with Master Xuan Long, the old man?

Why does he run away as soon as he sees me?

Is this old dog that afraid of me now?”

“I think you wish your efforts were impressive.

How beautiful you think.”

Lu Li mockingly looked at Lu Tianyu, “Is he really afraid of you?

That old man was driven away by Lin Yi!”

“Lin Yi?

This kid?”

Lu Tianyu looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.

No matter how he looked, Lin Yi seemed to only have the cultivation of the Second Level of Grandmaster Realm.

Could such cultivation really drive away Master Xuan Long?

“If you had arrived a bit earlier, Master Xuan Long wouldn’t even have had the chance to flee.

He was already left with his last gasp by Lin Yi’s attack, how could he not run?”

Lu Li said indignantly.

“Left with his last gasp?”

Lu Tianyu’s eyes widened in shock.

He knew the strength of Master Xuan Long; though slightly inferior to him, it was definitely not by much.

And this young man, he managed to severely injure Master Xuan Long?

Kid, you’ve got some stuff!

“I’ll chase him right now, if luck is on my side, I might even catch up!”

Without any hesitation, Lu Tianyu immediately leapt onto a giant eagle, leading his group in the direction Master Xuan Long had escaped!

Watching Lu Tianyu swiftly leave, Lin Yi also showed a look of sigh, “Truly a man coming and going in a hurry, like a gust of wind.”

“My old man is just like that, he’s never been reliable.”

Obviously, Lu Li was very disappointed in Lu Tianyu’s performance, “If he can catch up to Master Xuan Long and capture the old man, that would truly redeem his earlier mistake.”

Lin Yi nodded.

Master Xuan Long had been badly injured by his Demon Flames, without several months to recover, if caught by Lu Tianyu, he would surely be captured.

At this very moment, after the high-level power of Golden Country Martial Arts Academy had been slain, it had completely lost its power to resist, being utterly annihilated by Lin Yi and his group!

Boom!

The vault door of the Golden Country Martial Arts Academy was blasted open, Lin Yi led the students of Holy Mansion and the members of Fierce People Gang directly into the vault.

They began to loot vigorously!

Just like bandits!

But Lin Yi had no intention of restraining them; this was what they deserved after following him through life and death, fighting fiercely to obliterate Golden Country Martial Arts Academy!

After the division.

Each person’s gain was estimated to be up to tens of millions of gold coins.

Just the Spirit Stones numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

In this vault, Lin Yi had even obtained about a dozen Top-grade Spirit Stones!

Top-grade Spirit Stones, the supreme items for a Martial Artist’s cultivation, contained extremely pure energy, almost effortless to absorb and refine!

With the resources plundered from this Golden Country Martial Arts Academy, Lin Yi was confident he could take his cultivation to the next level!

…

As Lin Yi settled the matter of the Golden Country Martial Arts Academy, the combined armies of Stone Country and Yun Country also successfully captured the Jin Country Capital.

Jin Country was successfully annihilated.

The entire Jin Country Royal Family was slaughtered to prevent future troubles!

According to the original agreement, the territory of Jin Country was divided in half—one half went to Shi Country, and the other half to Yun Country.

From then on, the country of Jin Country ceased to exist, fading into history.

After the Golden Country Martial Arts Academy was destroyed, Golden Mountain naturally became a branch of the Holy Mansion.

In a courtyard compound.

Lin Yi held a top-grade Spirit Stone, continuously absorbing the energy from the top-grade Spirit Stone.

It had been seven days since the annihilation of the Golden Country Martial Arts Academy.

As the energy of the last top-grade Spirit Stone was exhausted, Lin Yi’s aura also suddenly transformed!

He reached the Third Level of Grandmaster Realm!

After his cultivation breakthrough, Lin Yi stepped out of the courtyard and saw Xi Yue bidding farewell to her adoptive father, Qin Lie.

“Junior Brother Lin Yi, have you broken through?”

Qin Lie merely glanced at Lin Yi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He could tell at a glance that Lin Yi had reached the Third Level of the Grandmaster Realm.

Lin Yi simply nodded, then immediately asked, “Uncle Qin, are you leaving?”

Qin Lie nodded, “The Golden Country Martial Arts Academy has been destroyed, and there’s nothing left for me here, so it’s time for me to leave.”

“Would Uncle Qin be interested in taking a position at our Holy Mansion?”

Lin Yi suddenly proposed, “Our Holy Mansion is currently in need of a stabilizer, and if Uncle Qin stays, he could also be together with Master Sister Xi Yue.”

“If Uncle Qin is willing to stay, the position of Vice Mansion Master would undoubtedly be yours.”

“Let’s not.”

Qin Lie swiftly rejected Lin Yi without a second thought, “I am a person who hates complications, otherwise, with my strength, wouldn’t I be given a high-ranking position wherever I go?”

“I’ll just be an external supporter for you, call me if there’s danger.

Considering you cured my old illness, I might help your Holy Mansion once more for free!”

Having said that, he left directly.

“What a pity.”

Lin Yi shook his head, his expression showing regret.

If they had such a True Master willing to stay at the Holy Mansion, no doubt it would greatly enhance the foundation of the Holy Mansion.

“Junior Brother Lin Yi, what are your plans next?”

After seeing off Qin Lie, Xi Yue turned her attention to Lin Yi, although he was her junior brother, in the current Holy Mansion, major decisions were generally made by Lin Yi.

“The Martial Arts Academy has been crushed, next is to recruit more people!”

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes, “Let our Holy Mansion become the true number one power in Shi Country!”

“How many people should we recruit?”

Xi Yue asked.

“Let’s start with five hundred!”

Lin Yi waved his hand grandly, “Not only can we recruit people in Shi Country, but I will also speak to Yun Xi to allow us to recruit in Yun Country as well, so young talents from Yun Country can also be brought in.”

He believed that with the current prestige of the Holy Mansion in both Shi Country and Yun Country, recruiting five hundred new students should not be a difficult task.

After all, the scales of both the Stone Country Martial Arts Academy and the Golden Country Martial Arts Academy were now entirely taken over by their Holy Mansion, not to mention five hundred new students, even five thousand would be entirely feasible!

Wu Liang had sacrificed so much for them, and now as a form of repayment, Lin Yi wanted to let old man Wu Liang see how their Holy Mansion would develop and flourish under their hands, becoming not only the number one power in Shi Country but even a renowned academy known across various countries.
