The Saints Compromise

"What? They're making Reincarnator the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass? Does that mean he'll also be the Mansion Master? That's ridiculous..."

"To be honest, my Ancient Domain has never had a precedent of accepting Reincarnator!"

Many of the Nine-Realm Ancestor spoke up.

In their view, not expelling or killing Lin Yi now is already an act of consideration for past relationships.

A Nine-Realm Ancestor said, "Lin... Yi, is it? As long as you remove the Black Qi from our bodies, we will let you go and will not pursue the matter of you impersonating the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass."

Lin Yi replied, "You all overestimate me. Eradicating the Black Qi from your bodies is not something that can be done overnight."

Dui Longting said, "What do you mean? You want to negotiate terms?"

"That's not the case. It's just that I've long considered myself a person of the Ancient Domain, which is why I'm willing to expose my identity in order to rescue you all."

"But clearing away the Black Qi does consume a lot of my Sequence Spiritual Power."

Seeing Lin Yi's sincerity, Xun Hanfeng, Bu Hui Li, and others on the field all showed hesitation.

Xun Hanfeng said, "Brother Qin... why don't you first choose one of us and see if he can remove the Black Qi?"

"Very well, then let Lord Miyako do it."

The Zun Sheng was the first to step forward.

When Lin Yi saw everyone's gazes on him, he stopped hiding. His Spiritual Power surged, and a pair of gleaming deer antlers appeared.

The antlers cast a white, shimmering light like dewdrops. The Ninth Realm Martial Saint present sensed this aura and felt their negative emotions being quickly dispelled and suppressed.

"As expected, it's Sequence Bearer method!"

"This Sequence Inheritance is not simple; it seems to contain some kind of pure and flawless Divinity."

"No wonder Lin Yi had to reveal his identity; it turns out he needed to show his true form to use the Sequence Bearer technique..."

Upon arriving before the Zun Sheng, Lin Yi first probed his body with his Spiritual Power.

As Ninth Realm Martial Saint, his complete lack of defense against Lin Yi can be considered as holding nothing back.

Following the veins of the Zun Sheng's flesh and blood, Lin Yi began to drive the Black Qi attached to his body to one place.

In fact, not many people in the hall were tainted by the Black Qi. With Lin Yi Yi's abilities, he could simply use his Purification Divinity to eradicate it and then burn it away completely with the Blazing Flame Fire.

But in order to show everyone how difficult it was for him to remove the Black Qi, Lin Yi appeared to be struggling, and even a few beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Yi took a deep breath and pulled a small clump of Black Qi from the Zun Sheng's body.

"This is the Black Qi?"

Many of the Nine-Realm Ancestor gathered around.

As if possessing a consciousness, the Black Qi in Lin Yi's palm transformed into slender black tentacles, constantly impacting the white Spiritual Power barrier.

"Your Zun Sheng, how are you feeling?"

Although the Black Qi within Zun Sheng's body had been completely cleared, he still played along, saying, "That's right, Deputy Prefecture Lord Lin has cleared most of the Black Qi from Venerable Saint's body, leaving only a little."

"Hiss, it really can force out Black Qi!"

Tuoba Kuan quickly said, "Deputy Prefecture Lord Lin, why don't you try it on me?"

"What's the rush, old man? First come, first served. Besides, it's not easy for Deputy Prefecture Lord Lin to clear away the Black Qi. Why don't we let him rest for a while?"

Seeing that Lin Yi was able to extract the Black Qi, the attitudes of the Ninth Realm Martial Saint present softened considerably.

At this moment, Bu Hui Li seemed to hear Wu Shi 'Wu Shi message. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke first, "Everyone, I support Lin Yi continuing to serve as the governor of Tongguan Prefecture. During Brother Lin's tenure, he has never harmed the interests of the Ancient Domain. Not to mention the earliest Trial the Endless Fire Domain's Garrison Commander, just take the battle against the Demon Domain's invasion of the Second Tong Pass Prefecture some time ago. Who can have achieved as much as Brother Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Xun Hanfeng nodded in agreement. "I also support the Descendant joining the Ancient Domain. Besides, Vice Prefecture Lord is not an outsider. With him protecting the Ancient Domain, neither the Supreme Demon Domain nor the Southern Domain is a threat."

An Nine-Realm Ancestor from the Qian Family, First Vein was at the ninth level, frowned and said, "Everyone, please be careful. We cannot easily give in to this. Fighting against the Descendant is a rule passed down from the ancestors of the Ancient Domain. If Lin Yi is allowed to enter the Ancient Domain, there will be more if there is one, and countless Descendant will probably emerge in the Ancient Domain in the future."

"Isn't it good that there are Descendant?"

"We must be wary of those Descendant. Ancient records show that every generation of those Descendant this world has attempted to overthrow the Ancient Domain. Moreover, the Ancient Domain has only so many precious resources. If those Descendant this world were to grow up by taking advantage of the Ancient Domain's inheritance and power, wouldn't that squeeze out the cultivation space for us and our family's future generations?"

"If you don't accept Vice- Prefecture Lord Lin, what do you plan to do about the Black Qi surrounding you?"

"Hmph, we, a group of so many Ninth Realm Descendant Ninth Realm Martial Saint, are hardly going to be coerced by a mere Incarnate. Lin Yi, today we are covered in Black Qi, and you must help us get rid of it no matter what. Otherwise, even if you escape back to the Descendant's home planet, Blue Star, you will still be conquered by our Ancient Domain!"

Inside the main hall, arguments continued.

Finally, an old ancestor named Shentu Ben Jiu Nine-Realm Ancestor made a harsh statement to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wasn't familiar with Shentu Ben, and only smiled faintly, "Is Ancestor Shen Tu serious?"

Seeing Lin Yi looking over, Shentu Ben suddenly remembered that Lin Yi had several impressive victories against experts at the Divine Realm.

Among all the Nine-Realm Ancestor, Shentu Ben was the weakest, far inferior to Zhen Changsheng. If he were to be targeted by Lin Yi, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

He quickly changed his tune. "This... what I mean is, the Black Qi is related to the future of our martial arts. If you resolve the Black Qi issue first and show us your sincerity, then we will naturally speak up for you."

Lin Yi didn't bother arguing with him, only saying, "More than ten of you here have been Curse the Black Qi. Judging from the situation just now, I'm afraid it will take several days before I can remove the Black Qi from your bodies."

"We can wait. As long as you're not in a hurry, we're not in a hurry either."

At this moment, the Zun Sheng spoke up, "I would like to remind you all that I have heard that Black Qi can defile the Profound Yellow Qi. If the Black Qi in your bodies has not been resolved before the Ancient Secret Realm opens, then you should not enter the Ancient Secret Realm, lest you defile the Profound Yellow Qi within it."

"This..."

Many people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Doesn't everyone understand what Your Zun Sheng means? As long as you acknowledge Vice Prefecture Lord Lin's identity and forgive any past impersonation, you can have the Black Qi in your body removed first."

Zhen Changsheng laughed loudly, then approached Lin Yi and whispered, "Vice- Prefecture Lord Lin, the Ancestor acknowledges you. If you've rested well, please first remove some of the Black Qi from the Ancestor. To be honest, this stuff has been lingering in my body, and the Ancestor feels his temper has become increasingly volatile..."

"Good!"

Seeing Lin Yi's quick agreement, Zhen Changsheng was satisfied. "Indeed, Vice- Prefecture Lord's true colors are more pleasing to the eye. Actually, I have no ill will towards the Descendant. Although ancient books describe the Descendant as utterly wicked, history is always fabricated by the victors. Who knows what role our Ancient Domain played in history? Ancestor Er here made a promise that as long as Vice- Prefecture Lord Lin saves my life and resolves the Black Qi Curse, Ancestor Er will definitely still regard you as a distinguished guest of the Zhen Family."

Inside the main hall, Lin Yi began to draw out the Black Qi from Zhen Changsheng again.

Despite being no match for the Zun Sheng, Lin Yi completely eradicated the Black Qi from the Zhen Changsheng in one breath.

After all, when acting, you have to go all the way and always have a backup plan.

With Zhen Changsheng taking the lead, Bu Hui Li, Xun Hanfeng, and others stepped forward in turn to remove the Black Qi.

Some of the patriarchs of martial arts families who were hostile to the Descendant began to get restless.

Dui Longting finally couldn't hold back any longer. "If we make the Descendant the deputy Prefecture Lord of Tongguan Prefecture, what if he rebels later..."

Gu Chaokuang exclaimed, "This matter is the responsibility of the Prefecture Lord!"

"Very well, since both Your Zun Sheng and the Prefecture Lord agree, what harm is there in us not making a fuss about it!"

Ultimately, the Black Qi Curse was more urgent. With powerful martial arts families like the Zhen Family, Li Family, and Xun Family taking the lead, it was like dominoes falling, and many Nine-Realm Ancestor had no choice but to accept Lin Yi Yi's identity.
