Li Fire Perfection

Seeing that none of the town Garrison Commander spoke up, Qian Hengsheng raised his eyebrows, knowing that his previous offer probably wouldn't have moved the crowd.

Qian Hengsheng Qian Xuan below and shook his head slightly.

As a veteran Second Town Guardian, Qian Xuan had managed Tongguan Prefecture for so long, yet he didn't even have a single supporting ally, which greatly disappointed him.

In the current situation, if there were a capable Garrison Commander to support him, the situation would not be so awkward, and he would have room to maneuver.

Qian Xuan naturally noticed the ancestor's pleading gaze, but remained silent, only clenching his fists tightly.

If the Qian Family's scheme to elevate him to the position of Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass fails, it will likely be entirely his fault.

He fears he will no longer receive support from his clan's resources.

At this moment, Kun Yuan, the patriarch of the Kun Family, spoke up, "Brother Hengsheng, we are all retired elders of Tongguan Prefecture. Let's not get involved in the affairs of Tongguan Prefecture. Let's drink and drink. We have gained a lot this time, so we should celebrate."

Qian Hengsheng picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and then said, "The position of Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass is extremely important. Although Qin Jian performed outstandingly in this Trial, it is still not appropriate for him to be appointed as Deputy Prefect in my opinion."

Kun Yuan smiled and didn't say anything more to persuade him.

He had no connection with Qin Jian and would not speak up for Qin Jian.

Of course, if it could prevent the Qian Family from becoming the Deputy Prefect, he would still be willing to step in at a crucial moment.

But since the person in question hasn't arrived yet, there's no point in saying more.

Silence fell over the hall. Everyone remained silent, savoring the Monster King's spirit meat and fine wine before them.

Just then, a streak of light shot out from the sky outside the Garrison Mansion's hall; it was Lin Yi, who had just broken through not long ago.

At this moment, Lin Yi was surrounded by fire, clearly indicating that he had mastered the ' Li Fire ' Domain perfectly with his martial arts.

If classified according to the Ancient Domain realm, Lin Yi is now considered a perfected seventh-realm Martial Saint, just one step away from crossing over to the eighth realm Martial Saint.

However, Lin Yi ultimately underestimated the difficulty of perfecting the ' Li Fire ' Domain.

Even with two Red Talent, after refining a complete second-rate Heaven and Earth Power, ' Crimson Heart Flame ', he only managed to advance the progress of the ' Li Fire ' Domain from the early stage of the Great Perfection to the middle stage.

Later, Lin Yi refined and devoured the incomplete ' Void Flame ', finally making the ' Li Fire ' almost perfect.

Inside the hall, candlelight flickered, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere.

Lin Yi glanced at the three old men on the platform, none of whom he recognized. However, after hearing the You Huoli and Shao Lian, he learned their identities and bowed, saying, "Garrison Commander Qin Jian greets the three seniors."

Kun Yuan still looked like He Lao, his round old face full of kindness. "Hey, haha, Town Guardian Qin is indeed a handsome man. Quickly sit down and eat. The toad meat in that red plate was hunted by me. Try it and see how it tastes..."

Before Lin Yi could even sit down, he heard an old man next to Kun Yuan coldly question him.

"So you are Qin Jian?"

This person is not Qian Hengsheng, but Tai Shang Liangbai of the Tai Shang Family.

Tai Shang Liangbai as snow, his eyes were filled with a sharp and murderous aura, his face was as cold and stern as if carved by a knife, and his deep-set eyes were like Cold Pool, staring at Lin Yi with a cold gaze.

"It's me!"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, guessing that the Tai Shang Liangbai probably wanted to ask him about the Tai Shangxun Lord Xunyi.

Sure enough, Tai Shang Liangbai slowly stood up and said, "Town Guardian Qin, I ask you, where is Tai Shangxun commander of the Twelfth Tong Pass, now?"

When Tai Shang Liangbai spoke, he pressed down with the aura of Eight-Realm Martial Saint. Lin Yi, neither humble nor arrogant, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to senior, are you asking me as the Tai Shang Family Ancestor, or as senior Tong Pass?"

Tai Shang Liangbai snorted in dissatisfaction.

"What about the first marriage? And what about the second marriage?"

"As for the former, Qin can only say that it is a matter of Tong Pass, and you are not qualified to interfere. As for the latter, as Qin Garrison Commander, I wonder what your position is?"

Clearly, Lin Yi's implied meaning was, "Who do you think you are, questioning me, the Garrison Commander?"

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Tai Shang Liangbai's cold, murderous eyes were momentarily stunned.

For a Garrison Commander ranked so low to speak to him like that is truly arrogant!

You should know that when he was the Garrison Commander and made great contributions to Tongguan Prefecture, this Qin Jian in front of him was probably not even born yet.

Hearing this, Kun Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha, Town Guardian Qin is quite an interesting person. Oh, Elder Brother, don't hold it against a junior."

Qian Hengsheng, however, felt that this was an opportunity to suppress Qin Jian, so he spoke up to help, "Town Guardian Qin, the Supreme Elder only asked where the Tai Shangxun for. Why are you reacting like this? Could it be that the Tai Shangxun is related to you?"

Lin Yi looked at Qian Hengsheng, who had spoken, and asked knowingly, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

Qian Hengsheng snorted, "I am Qian Hengsheng, an old man from Tongguan Prefecture."

"So it's Elder Qian. I have already reported the matter of the Supreme General's whereabouts to Tongguan Prefecture. However, it involves the Black Mountain secret realm, and the situation was complicated those days. In addition, there was Monster uprising in the West Mountain Southern Domain. I'm afraid it will take some time before I can give you a reply."

Qian Hengsheng seized upon the loophole in Lin Yi's words and questioned, "As the Garrison Commander, your subordinate general has disappeared without a trace, and you don't even know the reason. What use are you?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Elder Qian, if that Grand Garrison Commander were willing to listen to me, a mere town garrison commander, that would be fine. Unfortunately, during his tenure at the Twelfth Tong Pass, he frequently went out on his own and disobeyed my orders. When the Black Mountain secret realm appeared, I wanted him and another Brigade General Yan guard Tong Pass, but he didn't even give a heads-up. Instead, he secretly led his family's men to search for the Black Mountain secret realm, completely disregarding the safety of Tong Pass..."

Finally, Lin Yi coldly said, "... If he weren't a colleague, and if I didn't consider that he was a member of the Tai Shang Family, Qin would have already accused him of dereliction of duty and had the Mansion Master remove him from his position as a military officer!"

Qian Hengsheng squinted and said, "You are quite the sharp-tongued person. Now that the Tai Shangxun for you, who knows if the past events were just fabricated and framed by you."

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "If Elder Qian does not believe me, he can go to the Twelfth Tong Pass to investigate."

Qian Hengsheng couldn't find any loopholes, so he said, "I believe that Brother Taishang will investigate this matter thoroughly. If there is even the slightest falsehood in what you said, even if you are the Garrison Commander, you will not escape punishment."

Lin Yi suddenly chuckled, "Oh, so Elder Qian isn't Tai Shangxun's elder. You're speaking so urgently in defense of Tai Shangxun; I almost thought Tai Shangxun was a bastard of your Qian Family. There's a saying, something like, 'Mind your own business'..."

Qian Hengsheng slammed his fist on the table angrily. "Qian Jian, do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you!"

Tai Shang Liangbai frowned and glared at Lin Yi: "This junior is arrogant!"

Xianlin Lin Yi's words directly enraged both Qian Hengsheng and Tai Shang Liangbai.

Despite the oppressive presence of two Eight-Realm Martial Saint opposite him, Lin Yi calmly found a seat and began to savor the spiritual meat delicacy.

Seeing this scene, the other Garrison Commander in the area were filled with admiration.

Their Brother Qin is really bold.

He's not even the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass yet, but he dares to offend two senior Eight-Realm Martial Saint from a first-class Martial Dao Aristocratic Families in Tong Pass.

That kind of spirit and composure is truly impressive!

Seeing Lin Yi eating and drinking on his own, completely ignoring the two of them, Qian Hengsheng couldn't help but get angry. "Qin Jian, there are so many of us old men from Tongguan Prefecture who have retired from the Garrison Commander. Don't think that just because you are a Garrison Commander, you can be arrogant and disrespectful to everyone."

Lin Yi shook his head. "Arrogant? Qin have never ignored you two. However, you two came here with malicious intent to question me. How could I be polite to you? Also, in public, Elder Qian Qin, you should address me respectfully as Town Guardian Qin. If you still call me by my name, then I will call you Elder Qian!"

Qian Hengsheng's face turned pale after being rebuked by Lin Yi, and he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words: "A sharp-tongued jerk!"

"You flatter me!"

At this moment, Tai Shang Liangbai Yu said, "Town Guardian Qin, I ask you, besides Tai Shangxun, who else is Tai Shang Xu went deep into the Black Mountain secret realm Black Mountain secret realm? Why did he not come out of the secret realm even after it was closed? Did you secretly harm him?"

Tai Shang Xu Zi Zi is Tai Shangxun's third uncle, Xu Jian Zi, who is known as the Void Sword Saint Void Sword Son.

Originally, Void Sword Son came to the Black Mountain secret realm to intercept and kill Lin Yi, but he was attracted by the resources in the secret realm. Later, he abandoned the mission of killing Lin Yi and focused on collecting resources.

According to news from Gu Yan, who was stationed at the Twelfth Tong Pass, the Black Mountain secret realm has disappeared. Void Sword Son had led people out, but it is unknown whether they are alive or dead.

To be honest, Lin Yi was quite surprised by this.

After all, he still wanted to wait for Void Sword Son to leave the secret realm so he could launch a sneak attack.

However, Void Sword Son is quite powerful. Logically speaking, there should be no one in the Black Mountain secret realm who can threaten him, unless Void Sword Son, like Saint Shanhe, was abducted by that giant Dark Hand.

"Senior, please don't accuse Qin without evidence. Besides, Void Sword Son is a renowned Martial Saint in the Ancient Domain. Qin hadn't even reached the Martial Saint realm before entering the Black Mountain secret realm. How could I possibly kill him?"

Lin Yi paused, then asked, "However, I've heard that Void Sword Son Qin the Black Mountain secret realm as Martial Saint to assassinate Qin. I wonder if you are aware of this?"

Seeing Lin Yi turn the tables, Tai Shang Liangbai beard twitched, and he angrily said, "Hmph, nonsense, this is completely fabricated."

"How could my Tai Shang Family possibly violate the Ancient Domain Law and kill the Garrison Commander!"

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Perhaps Qin information is inaccurate. However, Qin am a man who always seeks revenge and retaliates in kind. If the Tai Shang Family truly harbors inappropriate thoughts towards Qin, Qin guarantee that I will not let the Tai Shang Family have any hope."

"Town Guardian Qin, are you threatening this old man?"

If you think so, then so be it!

Lin Yi shrugged, unconcerned.

Now that he has reached the Martial Saint Seventh Realm Perfection and found a cheap master, Lin Yi feels much more confident than before.

After all, his cheap Master Wushi, said that even if everyone in the Ancient Domain wanted and hunted down Lin Yi, Wushi could Wu Shi guarantee Lin Yi's safety.
