"I'll notify my teacher in a moment, but there's no need to trouble the other Emperor-realm seniors. I've already made arrangements!"
Lin Yu had only been momentarily blinded by anger earlier. By now, he had long since calmed down. At Old Chen's suggestion, he first nodded, then shook his head with a mysterious smile.
"Hmm?"
Old Chen stared at Lin Yu in bewilderment. Once awakened, the thing the Eternal Night Church was searching for would have strength around the Emperor realm. Was there an Emperor-realm expert in Banyan City right now?
"Don't worry, Old Chen. I wouldn't gamble with my parents' lives. I'll notify my teacher and the others first so they won't be scrambling when the time comes!"
With that, Lin Yu left the Kamui Dimension, leaving the two of them exchanging looks.
As soon as Lin Yu emerged from the Kamui Dimension, he called Elder Li. After a few rings, Elder Li's booming voice came through, warm with laughter.
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter? How come you have time to call me today?"
"Teacher, there's something I need to tell you. Is anyone else nearby?"
Lin Yu wasted no time and got straight to the point, though he remained cautious. He didn't know who the Thousand Faces that Chris had mentioned was, but the nickname gave him a rough idea.
To infiltrate the Guardian Office, Thousand Faces had to be exceptionally skilled at disguise. He might even possess an innate ability similar to the Transformation Technique.
Lin Yu knew how terrifying such an ability could be. It was almost impossible to guard against. Unless someone knew the person being impersonated particularly well, they might not notice anything wrong at all. For infiltration, it was practically foolproof.
Lin Yu himself could achieve the same effect with Wood Release: Wood Transformation.
