Chapter 189: Holy Mansion Fourth Elder!

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Holy Mansion Fourth Elder!

The Ancient Dragon Vein returned to its rightful place!

"Such a pity!"

Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

If only he could harness this Ancient Dragon Vein for himself, it would have become a trump card, a killer move!

Yet, even as the Ancient Dragon Vein left his body,

it still brought him tremendous benefits.

After being baptized by the Ancient Dragon Vein,

his cultivation had reached the Ninth Level Peak of the Grandmaster Realm!

He was just one step away from the True Man Realm.

And right after the disappearance of the Ancient Dragon Vein,

the experts from the Five Great Forces who had come to the rescue also arrived at the Ancient Ruined City.

But by the time they got there, they found that the battle of the Ancient Ruined City had already subsided, leaving nothing but ruins.

If it weren’t clearly evident that a great battle had erupted in the Ancient Ruined City, they would have thought Wu Sansi and the others had falsely reported the military situation.

"What happened?"

Among the experts who came to help, an elder stepped forward, furrowing his brows and asking, "Didn’t you say there was a demoness from the Demon Path causing chaos at the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries? And that the Blood Empress’s Primordial Spirit had appeared? Where is she?"

The elder in a white robe dared not delay and quickly stepped forward, saying, "To report to the Fourth Elder, the issue has been resolved."

"What, resolved?"

The expression of the Fourth Elder from the Holy Mansion changed, "How was it resolved?"

The expressions of shock appeared on the faces of the other experts who had arrived with him; even the trace of the Blood Empress’s Primordial Spirit had appeared—how could the matter be resolved so easily?

"This is what happened."

In front of the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion, Wu Sansi recounted the entire event from beginning to end.

After speaking, the eyes of the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion filled with surprise as he turned to look at Lin Yi.

Though it was with the power of the Ancient Dragon Vein, the main credit still lay with Lin Yi.

Who could have imagined that the one to resolve such a shocking crisis would turn out to be a mere youngster?

And furthermore, one of the young Heavenly Prides participating in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries!

In an instant, the people from the Five Great Forces looked at Lin Yi with fervent eyes!

Facing such a heaven-defying youngster, the only thought in their minds was to woo him over to their side, no matter what it took!

Seeing these old-timers all sporting thoughtful expressions, Wu Sansi hastily stepped forward ahead of them, saying, "Lin Yi, even though there is some disparity in strength among the Five Great Forces, currently, the Martial Arts Academy is the strongest force in the Eastern Domain, and you’re surely aware of that, right?"

By saying this, Wu Sansi undeniably offended the people from the other four great forces present, causing the smiles on their faces to freeze instantly, and even the face of the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion showed a hint of displeasure.

Yet no one could find fault with his statement.

Strictly speaking about the momentum of strength, the Martial Arts Academy had indeed been rising like the sun these past years, even somewhat overpowering the Holy Mansion.

"I’m aware."

Under Wu Sansi’s watchful gaze, Lin Yi nodded his head, yet the next second his response surprised everyone, "But I choose the Holy Mansion!"

With those words, everyone was taken aback!

Lin Yi actually gave up the strongest Martial Arts Academy and chose the Holy Mansion?

Even the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion was stunned, clearly, he too had not expected Lin Yi to choose the Holy Mansion.

"Why?"

"What’s the reason?"

Wu Sansi was somewhat flabbergasted. Hadn’t he already told this youngster that their Martial Arts Academy was the first in the Eastern Domain? Yet the other party still chose the Holy Mansion?

"I feel that the Holy Mansion suits me better."

Lin Yi remarked noncommittally.

"Suits my ass!"

Wu Sansi was so angry that he blurted out a curse.

However, no sooner had his words fallen than he felt a chill behind him, and immediately a voice filled with menace came over, "Wu Sansi, are you trying to provoke my Holy Mansion?"

Along with that came a terrifying oppression, the sense of pressure like a mountain, which almost left him breathless!

"I wouldn’t dare!"

Wu Sansi quickly shut his mouth and drew back dejectedly. Although the name of the Martial Arts Academy backed him, he still did not dare openly confront a master of the Sealing King Realm.

Seeing that Wu Sansi knew his place and had withdrawn, the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion then nodded in satisfaction and immediately looked at Lin Yi with a very appreciative gaze, "Lin Yi, is it?"

"Don’t worry, whatever the Martial Arts Academy can offer you, our Holy Mansion can as well. From now on, you are a True Inheritor of the Holy Mansion!"

True Inheritor!

This statement spread and immediately stirred up a huge commotion throughout the entire Ancient Ruined City!

A True Inheritor was the core of every force, their status even higher than that of Inner Sect Disciples!

According to the rules, the Holy Mansion taking Lin Yi as an Inner Sect Disciple would have sufficed, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Elder proposed to take Lin Yi as a Holy Mansion True Inheritor!

This was an unprecedented exception!

In an instant, the gaze of all the Heavenly Prides looking towards Lin Yi was filled with envy!

But they also knew that they could not envy this treatment; what did they have to compare with Lin Yi?

"Thank you, Fourth Elder!"

Lin Yi was also taken aback but then bowed in thanks towards the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion.

Even though he wasn’t quite clear what the status of a True Inheritor meant within the Holy Mansion, the expressions of those around him gave him some clues.

"However, I have one more request."

Another request?

Many who heard this felt that Lin Yi was a bit too greedy. Having received such a great benefit as the True Inheritor status, didn’t he know to be content? He still wanted to ask for more?

However, the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion didn’t get angry but, after slightly knitting his eyebrows, asked, "What request? Let’s hear it."

Lin Yi casually pointed at Lu Li and the other several from the Longshan Empire, "These five hail from the same Longshan Empire as I do; they are my brothers, with whom I have faced life and death. They have already obtained the quotas to join the Five Great Forces, and I wish to bring all of them into the Holy Mansion."

Hearing this, the mood of Lu Li and the others instantly became tense. Although they had already secured the qualifications to join the East Domain Five Great Forces, they might not necessarily be up to the Holy Mansion’s standards.

Lin Yi himself was just a new disciple who hadn’t yet joined the Holy Mansion; did he have enough clout to bring all five of them into the Holy Mansion?

"Lin Yi, you’re being unreasonable!"

As expected, a powerful Holy Mansion member jumped out, "How high are the standards for our Holy Mansion to admit disciples? Can we lower the standards just because of you and let mediocrity flood in?"

However, as soon as this Holy Mansion member finished speaking, he was met with the Fourth Elder’s deathly glare, a look that seemed to say, "I haven’t spoken yet; what makes you think you can? Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?"

Sensing something was amiss, the Holy Mansion member quickly shut his mouth.

"It’s a small matter."

The Fourth Elder immediately agreed, "I still have the authority for this."

After speaking, he then turned his gaze to Lu Li and the others, "You five, come join our Holy Mansion together with Lin Yi!"

"Thank you, Fourth Elder!"

Seeing that the Fourth Elder of the Holy Mansion agreed so readily, Lu Li and the five Heavenly Prides of the Longshan Empire also immediately showed an expression of joy.
