Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Challenging the No.1 on the Heavenly List
For a moment, Lin Yi and Lou Tingyu were rendered silent.
They had not expected that such a big fish lay behind Master Wu Liang’s case of injustice.
A fish so large that they found it difficult to shake!
"Lin Yi, perhaps we should just let it be," said Lou Tingyu, looking towards Lin Yi. "You, a mere new disciple, how can you contend against the Holy Mansion’s Third Elder?"
"Even if I can’t contend, I must," Lin Yi’s gaze suddenly sharpened. "I promised Master Wu Liang that I would definitely save him."
"Besides, this Third Elder is loyal on the outside but a traitor at heart. I refuse to believe that the Holy Mansion would indulge such a scourge."
Upon hearing that, Lou Tingyu looked at Lin Yi with a face full of astonishment. "Are you planning to expose the Third Elder?"
"Indeed!"
Lin Yi nodded and then his gaze fell upon Qin Feiyue. "If this Elder Qin were to testify on the spot, it’s not impossible to pierce through the Third Elder’s true façade."
"Don’t drag me into your suicide mission."
However, just as Lin Yi’s words fell, Qin Feiyue’s chilly voice suddenly rang out. She had apparently regained consciousness.
"What makes you think you, a lowly disciple, can bring down the Third Elder?"
Yet Lin Yi remained unruffled, saying, "I will publicly reveal the Third Elder’s crimes at the execution ground where they plan to kill Master Wu Liang."
"If you, the victim, were to testify, no matter how high the Third Elder’s status in the Holy Mansion, it would not help him."
"The Holy Mansion has always aimed to weed out the strong but support the weak, to punish the evil and promote the good. It will certainly not allow cesspools like the Third Elder to continue poisoning the Holy Mansion."
"Moreover, don’t you wish to bring the real culprit to justice?"
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Qin Feiyue’s expression finally showed a slight waver.
This gave Lin Yi a glimmer of hope.
It seemed that Qin Feiyue was not entirely against overturning the case.
After all, how could a fair young woman, whose purity had been destroyed by an old man who then laid all the blame on her mentor, not be loathed?
However, Qin Feiyue still shook her head and said, "I’ll repeat myself."
"As a mere disciple, how can you oppose the mighty Holy Mansion’s Third Elder?"
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because I am the Holy Mansion’s number one prodigy."
Lin Yi bared it all to Qin Feiyue at this point and said, "In this generation of Holy Mansion disciples, no one is my match; and I’ve been in the Holy Mansion for less than two months. Isn’t that enough?"
Upon hearing this, even Lou Tingyu beside him looked at Lin Yi in some disbelief.
The number one prodigy of the Holy Mansion?
That title was no small matter!
Although Lin Yi had indeed progressed at an astonishing pace, to aim for the seat of the Holy Mansion’s top prodigy might still not be enough.
"Arrogant," Qin Feiyue looked at Lin Yi with a face that said he was too ignorant to know the vastness of the heavens and earth. "Do you know who the current number one prodigy of the Holy Mansion is?"
"Of course, I know."
Lin Yi was unmoved, saying, "The number one prodigy of the Holy Mansion is none other than Xie Zhi Dao, Peak Master of Dragon Head Peak, currently ranked No. 1 on the Heavenly List."
"Don’t worry, upon my return to the Holy Mansion, I will challenge him and, in front of all the Holy Mansion disciples, defeat him and take his place."
Qin Feiyue’s face changed slightly at first, then she let out a sneer, clearly not believing that Lin Yi could win against Xie Zhi Dao. "Then I will wait for your good news."
"If you truly can beat Xie Zhi Dao and prove your strength as the number one Heavenly Pride of the Holy Mansion, then I will agree to help you accuse the Third Elder on the execution ground."
"Alright, it’s a deal!"
Lin Yi nodded. If he couldn’t defeat a Holy Mansion’s top Heavenly Pride, why would Qin Feiyue believe he could take down major figures like the Third Elder?
If this had been at the beginning of his journey into the Holy Mansion, it would have indeed been empty boastfulness. Unable to even defeat Gu Yuanhang but merely forcing him to retreat by employing cunning, the possibility of defeating Xie Zhi Dao was almost zero.
But times had changed. Now, even if his opponent were No.1 on the Heavenly Ranking, Lin Yi had the confidence to fight.
...
Upon returning to the Holy Mansion, Lin Yi immediately had people spread the news of his achievements in the Earth Spirit Secret Realm, proclaiming he had surpassed Xie Zhi Dao and become the top Heavenly Pride of the Holy Mansion.
On the other hand, he sent Wu Zongming to deliver a challenge to Dragon Head Peak.
A public challenge to Xie Zhi Dao.
Qianfeng Mountain, Dragon Head Peak.
Peak Master Xie Zhi Dao of Dragon Head Peak had already received the challenge letter sent by Wu Zongming.
On the challenge letter, it read boldly: "In three days, on Qianfeng Mountain’s Martial Arts Fighting Platform, Lin Yi, the Holy Mansion’s number one new talent, seeks instruction from Dragon Head Peak Master Xie Zhi Dao."
"This Lin Yi is really ignorant of his own limitations. He has only joined the Holy Mansion for a few days and now wants to replace Brother Xie?"
A Dragon Head Peak disciple spoke with dissatisfaction.
"He’s nothing more than a self-promoting clown. What does he have to compare with Brother Xie?"
Another Dragon Head Peak disciple also sneered without end, "In my view, Brother Xie doesn’t need to bother with this person. Within the Holy Mansion, there are many who wish to challenge Brother Xie. If Brother Xie had to respond to every challenger, wouldn’t he be busy to death?"
"This Lin Yi is no ordinary figure. It is said that he dominated all his competitors in the Earth Spirit Secret Realm, receiving high praise from Fei Xiao, Xuan Yi, and Yuan Zhen, three top experts on the Heavenly Ranking. They said Lin Yi’s strength is sufficient to rank among the top three on the Heavenly List."
A female disciple from Dragon Head Peak reminded.
"The top three of the Heavenly Ranking?"
As Peak Master, Xie Zhi Dao appeared very disdainful, "Even if this youngster really possesses the strength of the top three on the Heavenly List, he still wouldn’t be my match."
"Since this youngster wants to disgrace himself, I’ll grant him that!"
This was his confidence as No.1 on the Heavenly List.
Lin Yi, had he challenged someone else, might have had some chance, but his ambition was too great; he was directly challenging him, the current No.1 on the Heavenly List.
That was utterly ignorant of his own limitations.
The disciples at Dragon Head Peak soon dispersed.
Xie Zhi Dao also returned to his own quarters.
However, at that very moment, an uninvited guest wearing a mask broke into his residence, appearing before him without warning.
"Who’s there?!"
Xie Zhi Dao’s expression changed. Someone managed to intrude into his home undetected, and he was utterly unaware!
The visitor was definitely a master!
Seeing Xie Zhi Dao’s vigilance, the newcomer removed the mask, revealing his true face before Xie Zhi Dao, "It’s me."
"Elder Xuan," Xie Zhi Dao immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the figure before him after recognising the visitor.
However, what puzzled him was why this elder would wear a mask and come to his residence in such a secretive manner?
"I heard you will fight Lin Yi on Qianfeng Mountain’s Martial Arts Fighting Platform in three days?"
"Elder Xuan" got straight to the point.
"That’s right."
Xie Zhi Dao nodded. "Is Elder Xuan here to ask me to show mercy?"
Xie Zhi Dao frowned. The "Elder Xuan" standing before him held a high status within the Holy Mansion. If he was asking him to show mercy to Lin Yi on the Battle Platform, it would be difficult for him to refuse.
To his surprise, "Elder Xuan" shook his head, a sudden cold gleam flashing in his eyes, "I want you to cripple him on the Battle Platform!"
