In the inner palace.
In the imperial court, from the emperor and the seven kings to the civil and military officials, everyone was watching the situation through a huge projection.
After all, the Hundred Seedlings Plan was directly related to the future and survival of the entire Inner Court. It was closely related to each of them, especially the winner of this Hundred Seedlings Competition. They would focus on investing in the next person. Naturally, they had to pay close attention to the entire process and could not afford to be careless.
Their main focus was naturally the elites sent by the various families. These were the most competitive participants.
As for the people from the Divine Kingdom on land and the six great flying lands, although it was not impossible for a few dark horses to appear and eventually enter the list of the hundred seedlings, in general, they were basically just accompanying them.
Putting everything else aside, how many perfect realms could the Divine Kingdom on land and the six great flying lands add up to?
Without a perfect realm, entering would be a joke. No matter how strong one was, it would be useless.
However, the emperor’s main focus was on Lin Yi.
The candidates sent by the inner court were basically controlled by the seven kings ‘mansions. As the nominal emperor, he could not interfere at all.
They could only hope that Lin Yi, who wasn’t under the control of the seven kings, would rise up and become a dark horse.
Only in this way would he have room for follow-up actions.
Noticing the emperor’s gaze, a middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly sneered.” I’ve always heard that Lin Yi is so strong, but I didn’t expect him to not even reach the perfect stage. Some people really exaggerate.”
The emperor’s face darkened, but he did not dare to refute.
The person who spoke was the current King Chu. Among the seven royal residences, the Chu royal residence was one of the strongest. It was far from what a lone emperor like him could compare to.
More importantly, this King of Chu had always been famous for being unreasonable. If it were the other seven kings, even if they treated him as a puppet in private, they would at least maintain the basic etiquette of monarch and minister on the surface.
But this King Chu was not necessarily the case.
If the two sides really fought on the spot and the King of Chu was determined to embarrass him, the emperor would really be helpless.
The emperor didn’t say anything, and everyone’s eyes fell on King Han. Everyone knew that he respected Lin Yi the most among the seven kings. There were even rumors that Lin Yi was already a member of King Han’s residence.
Han Wang was surprised that Lin Yi wasn’t at the perfect stage, but he didn’t show it.
” Lin Yi isn’t from the Inner Court,” Han Wang said faintly.” It’s not strange that he doesn’t have Perfect Stage. However, don’t you think it’s even more rare for him to have such shocking strength without Perfect Stage?”
All the civil and military officials in the court were surprised.
However, thinking about it carefully, it did make sense.
Lord Chu laughed in disdain.” King Han, it’s useless no matter how much you flatter him. From the looks of it, he won’t be able to pass the test of the 100-son contest. Don’t forget, only 100 people will be able to walk out of there alive.”
“From King Chu’s tone, could it be that you are very confident in the people your family sent out?” King Han replied with a cold smile.
Lord Chu patted his belly and said loudly,” It doesn’t matter how my people end up. But I can say with certainty that the top spot this time is none other than Bai Shizu.”
Everyone was stunned.
The emperor’s heart sank.
Bai Shizu wasn’t from the Chu royal family, but a peerless figure carefully nurtured by the Qin royal family. Today, the king of Qin wasn’t here, but the king of Chu was here to brag for him, which indirectly verified Qin Chu’s theory of the collusion.
Once these two powerful princely estates joined forces, even if the remaining princely estates stood on the same front, they might not be their match.
As for the emperor, he was even more sidelined.
At this time, looking at the situation, Lord Chu suddenly clapped his hands and laughed. We’re just talking about him, and he’s about to run into that Lin Yi. Tsk tsk, Lin Yi’s really unlucky to run into a monster like this. He’s done for.”
Everyone looked over-Shizu and Lin Yi were less than five miles away.
More importantly, Lin Yi only had one totem mark at the moment, and he was only at the peak of the foundation establishment stage. Bai Shizu, on the other hand, was ranked first in the Hundred Son Tournament, and he had four totem marks. He was at the peak of the mystic ascension stage!
The emperor and Han Wang broke out in cold sweat for Lin Yi.
No matter how strong he was, if he met Bai Shizu at this time, he would definitely have no chance of survival.
There was a difference of three realms between them, and even if it was someone like Shizu, they could easily kill Lin Yi.
There was no doubt about this.
In the hearts of the inner court officials, this Lin Yi, who they had never seen before, had been sentenced to death.
At this moment.
Lin Yi himself hadn’t realized that a fatal crisis was coming. He was on alert, but he wouldn’t act rashly without clear information.
After all, he was not alone now.
Every action had to be taken with the entire team in mind. Once the team was left behind, it would be a slow suicide.
Until the news came from the front, the team that Bai Xiao brought was ambushed.
Lin Yi reacted instantly,” No wonder the people we sent out didn’t notice. That totem pole already has an owner. They’re approaching us!”
Everyone immediately fell into panic.
Because of the Hundred Seedlings List in the sky, everyone was already very clear that their strength was no longer comparable to others. It was very likely that they were among the weakest batch.
One could imagine the consequences of being attacked at this time.
For a time, everyone immediately showed signs of scattering like birds and beasts.
” Leave forty people behind to cover the rear with me,” Lin Yi said decisively.” The rest of you, take the totem pole and the primitive man with you. Regroup at the designated location we marked earlier!”
This strategy actually had quite a bit of risk.
If the enemy was too strong, the people who stayed behind might be wiped out. If it was just to protect himself, Lin Yi could bring his people to carry the totem pole away. He could even throw away these primitive people. After all, they could always find more primitive people.
On the contrary, if the totem pole was gone, it was very likely that even the existing totem imprint would lose its effectiveness.
The reason why they didn’t make this obviously safer choice was because in the current situation, once everyone scattered like birds and beasts, they would never be able to gather again.
In this team competition, once someone was gone, then there was nothing left.
Lin Yi took the lead and ordered Yan Zhongyuan, Wei Baizhan, Little Du Wang Duanshe, Xiang Yusheng, and a few others to follow him, as well as a group of thirty-six masters who were hesitant but didn’t dare to resist.
Amongst them, Kong Shenglin and Xia Qiyuan, these two familiar faces, were also among them.
