105: Chapter 105 Shi Country Crisis!

Shi Qianzhong.

Head of the Martial Arts Academy’s Three Masters!

A genius of Shi Country, famous alongside Lu Qingcheng.

Also, one of the only two from the entire Shi Country to be placed on the list!

Lin Yi felt it necessary to inform the people before him about such a talent of Shi Country.

“Garbage!”

Unexpectedly, Lu Li directly showed a look of disdain, “The Hidden Dragon List has only a hundred people in total, the ninety-third rank is nearly at the bottom.”

“Indeed, it’s laughable.

What’s there to boast about being ninety-third?

Shouldn’t that be considered a disgrace?”

Beside him, Han Cheng also spoke with a full face of mockery.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown; this group was somewhat inflated with pride.

As the saying goes, pride goes before a fall, and he felt it his responsibility and duty to give them a wake-up call.

“No matter what, he made it to the Hidden Dragon List.

Even if he’s at the bottom, he’s definitely stronger than those not on the list…”

However, Han Cheng just coldly laughed, “Last year, I just entered the Hidden Dragon List, ranking eighty-third!”

“I’m eighty-eighth!”

“I’m seventy-sixth!”

“…”

Suddenly, members of the Fierce People Gang were revealing their ranks one after another, leaving Lin Yi astonished, “You’re all on the list…”

Among them, the gang leader Lu Li had an even more impressive rank; fifty-ninth on the Hidden Dragon List.

She was already in the mid-ranking of the Hidden Dragon List!

“The Hidden Dragon List isn’t that impressive; its value isn’t high.”

Lu Li spoke with a nonchalant expression.

Not high in value?

This list was considered authoritative by various countries for the younger generation; how could it not be valuable?

Subsequently, Lu Li looked at Lin Yi somewhat playfully, “You wouldn’t happen to have not made the Hidden Dragon List, would you?

No way, right?

Are there actually people who can’t make it on the list?”

“Cough cough…”

Lin Yi cleared his throat lightly, then spoke solemnly, “I’ve never been much interested in that kind of thing.”

“Is that so?”

Lu Li and the others from the Fierce People Gang looked at Lin Yi with some skepticism.

“I think so too.

Brother Lin is far superior in strength to me; if he wanted to be on the Hidden Dragon List, that would merely be a matter of minutes.”

At this point, Han Cheng spoke up for Lin Yi.

He had sparred with Lin Yi and had a clear understanding of Lin Yi’s strength.

With Lin Yi’s capabilities, getting on the Hidden Dragon List would be no difficult task!

Lu Li didn’t think too much of it; after all, Lin Yi was quite mysterious in her eyes, with an extraordinary background.

He could casually produce so many Ghost Level treasures and even a scroll of a King-level Technique.

Regardless of his interest in the Hidden Dragon List, even if he said he wasn’t keen on a marquis list, she would believe it!

Accompanied by Lu Li and the rest of the Fierce People Gang, Lin Yi had just returned to Yun Country’s Imperial Capital.

Only to see Bai Xiu urgently seeking him out.

“Third Senior Brother, there’s big trouble!”

Bai Xiu looked grave as she spoke to Lin Yi, “A major upheaval has occurred within Shi Country!”

“Oh?”

Lin Yi’s eyebrows rose, “Has the Martial Arts Academy made a move against the Shi Country Royal Family?”

“Yes!”

Bai Xiu nodded, “The Martial Arts Academy didn’t openly engage in battle, but with its support, the Chen Family and other Imperial City powers have openly started making trouble for the Royal Family, seeking to depose Emperor Shi’s royal lineage!”

“Master Gu this old geezer, he couldn’t wait any longer, could he?”

Lin Yi’s eyes slowly narrowed.

The Martial Arts Academy had already eradicated the Holy Mansion; it was natural that the next target would be the Shi Country Royal Family.

He had anticipated this day would come, just not so soon.

Bai Xiu said, “Third Senior Brother, we must return to Shi Country!

Otherwise, Senior Sister Luo and several of our fellow disciples will be in danger.”

Lin Yi nodded, “I’ll set out right now!”

Bai Xiu’s expression suddenly showed a flash of surprise, “You’ve already found help?”

“It’s them!”

Lin Yi pointed to Lu Li and the others behind him.

“Members of the Fierce People Gang!”

Bai Xiu sized up Lu Li, Han Cheng, and the rest, but a look of confusion appeared on his face.

These people did not look fierce at all from the outside.

Lin Yi said, “My brothers from the Fierce People Gang and I will travel light and head to the Stone Country Imperial City first.

We’re calling on Marquis Zhenbei, your old man, to join us, and as for you and Yun Xi, lead the Yun Country army to follow!”

Now, with great changes imminent in the Shi Country, all forces should be caught up in infighting.

The Yun Country army entering Shi Country at this time should not encounter much resistance.

Moreover, Shi Country’s main enemy has never been Yun Country, but Jin Country.

Shi Country’s main military strength is all deployed in the north to defend against Jin Country!

“Is it enough with just you few?”

“The enemy is the Martial Arts Academy…”

Bai Xiu looked at Lu Li and the others with a bit of skepticism.

They all looked like young people around his age.

Could they be reliable?

Even if they were joined by his father, Marquis Zhenbei, facing the Stone Country Martial Arts Academy and the people from the Imperial City’s Four Great Families seemed a little insufficient, right?

“We’re aiming for the Martial Arts Academy!”

Han Cheng wore an indifferent expression.

“If it weren’t for the Martial Arts Academy, we wouldn’t have been interested in the first place.”

“Your words resonate with me, Han Cheng,” someone chimed in.

“What’s the point of bullying the weak?

We must strike the elite!”

“That’s right, I’ve long been displeased with the folks from the Martial Arts Academy.

It’s about time to obliterate their branch in Shi Country and crush the arrogance of that lot.”

“Kid, rest assured.

We in the Fierce People Gang have our principles.

We won’t stop until we wipe out the Martial Arts Academy!”

…

For a moment, Xu Sanqian, Yue Buyi, and other members of the Fierce People Gang all uttered their bold words one after another.

“Your words are enough for me.”

Lin Yi nodded, then with a big wave of his hand, “Let’s move out!”

“Back to Shi Country!”

…

Shi Country, Imperial City.

Martial Arts Academy.

Chen Tai and the other Family Heads of the Imperial City’s Four Great Families were all gathered in the Martial Arts Academy, in front of them stood the Institute Master of the Academy, Gu Xuantong!

At this moment, Chen Tai proudly stated, “Master Gu, the operation to encircle the Royal Family is progressing smoothly.

The entire Imperial City is now under our Four Great Families’ control.”

“The Luo Family of the Royal Family has become like a turtle trapped in a jar, confined to a corner of the Imperial Palace, surrounded by us.

It won’t be long before they become prisoners at our feet.”

Not only Chen Tai, but also other Family Heads of the remaining Great Families had smiles on their faces.

If their action to overthrow the Royal Family was successful, there would be a change of rulers in the Shi Country Royal Family.

The new Royal Family would undoubtedly be one of them, the Four Great Imperial City Families!

Soon, one among these four would become Emperor!

Which event wouldn’t be exciting if it happened to them?

“Will the Shi Country troops outside disrupt our plans?”

Gu Xuantong asked in a detached tone.

“Master Gu can rest assured on that matter.”

Chen Tai confidently explained, “Jin Country’s army has already moved south.

Qin Ya wouldn’t dare act rashly, otherwise the Jin Country army would march south and outflank her!”

Gu Xuantong nodded, understanding that without military reinforcement, the demise of the Shi Country Royal Family was certain.

However, there was a hint of regret on Chen Tai’s face at that moment.

“The Holy Mansion is no more, and the Royal Family will soon be finished.

The only pity is that we’ve let that kid Lin Yi remain at large…”

Lin Yi!

Upon hearing this name, Gu Xuantong’s brows immediately furrowed.

That kid had escaped right under his watch and had been out of reach ever since.

He was fully aware that Lin Yi was definitely not dead.

As long as this young man was still alive, he was a nagging concern for him!

“A mere Lin Yi is not worth mentioning.”

At that moment, a burly young man stepped forward.

“He only made a name for himself because I was away from the Academy on training.

He took advantage of my absence.”

“Now that I have returned, if that kid chooses to be a turtle and hide, all good.

But if he dares to show up, I, Shi Qianzhong, will personally behead him!”
