Chapter 88 Turbulence
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the other geniuses turned to look at Lin Yi, who was standing in the void beside them.
"Teleportation? The gap is getting bigger and bigger?" Luo Feng's mind was in turmoil.
Having cultivated in Chaos City for thirty years and become a disciple of True Evolution King, his strength has increased, and his knowledge has also soared.
The meaning behind teleportation is crystal clear.
The Sky Bridge has 18 floors, a king-level structure!
A true powerhouse is renowned even among the entire human race.
Under the gaze of a group of geniuses, Lin Yi first smiled at the Nine Swords Venerable in his green robe and purple scales. Knowing that Lin Yi had something to say, the latter readily stepped aside, indicating that Lin Yi could speak frankly.
Lin Yi didn't stand on ceremony and went directly to the group of geniuses. He looked around and said with a smile, "The Nine Swords Venerable's words just now were all for your own good. I hope you can all listen to them."
"I've witnessed all the wonders of Chaos City. I'll make the most of these last 10 days. If I need to cross the bridge, I'll cross it; if I need to study the Chaos Stele, I'll study it as soon as possible. Once I leave Chaos City... it will be a long time before I can come back again."
The group of geniuses watched Lin Yi in silence, wondering what he was up to. They were well aware of this as well.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I will keep an eye on your performance and select five of you to join the city lord's personal guard."
Lin Yi's words were like a bombshell, instantly stunning all the geniuses.
As one of the most discussed topics in recent decades, the Royal Guard is well aware of the meaning behind it.
Representing the will of the super-existent Chaos City Lord
Exercising the authority to oversee everything related to the Virtual Universe Company's power.
You can live permanently in Chaos City.
The commander is Lin Yi, a super genius with a promising future...
Bolan, Rongjun, Longyun, the Qianshui siblings, Jialaixi... all stared in disbelief at the smiling young man, wanting to confirm whether what he said was true or not.
As geniuses from secret realms, their authority is at least at the realm lord level, or even higher.
Joining the Royal Guard is incredibly difficult. Let alone geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm or the Primal Secret Realm, even world lords and immortal powerhouses from major forces have tried countless times to use connections and rack their brains to join, but unfortunately, they haven't found the right way. To this day, the Royal Guard only has a handful of five members.
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the man in the green robe with purple scales waved to the genius who was still in a daze and said with no small amount of envy, "Lucky little guys, go ahead."
The group of people then came to their senses and respectfully replied, "Yes!"
They immediately scattered and flew off in various directions towards the Chaos City below.
Following Lin Yi, the Nine Swords Venerable disappeared into the sky above Chaos City with a single step, arriving at Lin Yi's palace in the center of Chaos City.
Every time he came, the Nine Swords Venerable would feel envious. He had seen countless palaces that were even larger and more luxurious than this one, and he owned many of them. However, the location of a palace mattered. To own such a palace in Chaos City was something that even a Universe Venerable could only dream of.
Even cosmic overlords rarely possess this.
The news that Lin Yi was going to recruit five personal guards from this group of geniuses caused a great stir among the human elite. From the cosmic overlords to the kings, everyone had a few good-for-nothing children who wanted to join Lin Yi's personal guard.
……
A temple shrouded in flames. Inside, on the central throne where fire dragons danced, a majestic figure in crimson armor suddenly appeared, his flame-covered fingers tapping softly on the armrest of the throne.
"Has Lin Yi started recruiting his personal guards?"
"It seems that my son Yan Zhu's opportunity is about to arrive."
"However, we still need to put in some effort and carefully consider how to win over Lin Yi."
Beneath the temple, the exceptionally handsome Nightmare Candle King revealed a hint of disdain and confusion upon hearing this. "Father, what's so good about the Royal Guard? Isn't it just permanent residency in Chaos City? With my current strength, I'm qualified to have a residence in Chaos City, so why join the Royal Guard?"
Nightmare Candle King, relying on the favor of his father, Venerable Fire Erosion, has had a smooth and successful cultivation journey. He looks down on Lin Yi, the commander personally appointed by the Lord of Chaos City, let alone his personal guards.
Upon hearing this, the giant in the flames couldn't help but rebuke, "What do you know? Becoming a member of the royal guard is nothing special, but the Bodhi Leaf that Lin Yi possesses is extremely precious. Even for your father, it would be difficult to obtain it for you."
What Venerable Fiery said was true. With his status as a high-level cosmic Venerable, Venerable Fiery was qualified to obtain one or two Bodhi leaves, but it was too difficult to obtain more to improve the inferior aptitude of Nightmare Candle King.
Moreover, the reason for having Nightmare Candle King join the personal guard was not only because of Bodhi Leaf. As a disciple valued by the Lord of Void Gold, Venerable Fire Erosion knew of the existence of Bodhi Fruit. If a Bodhi Fruit could be obtained for Nightmare Candle King, he would have a chance to break through to the Universe Venerable level.
Upon hearing this, King Nightmare fell silent. His father was sometimes extremely strict with him, but his love for him was genuine and unquestionable.
Therefore, although he is usually willful and unruly, he will only obey when his father is really angry and serious.
"Alright, Nightmare Candle, you do your job and leave the rest to your father." Venerable Fiery Fire scolded Nightmare Candle King, then regretted it and said softly.
Nightmare Candle King nodded, bowed respectfully, and left.
"Alas... If my son had half, no, even a tenth, of Lin Yi's talent, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Swish~!
The figure of the Fire Venerable disappeared into the flames.
……
The same scene is happening in many other places.
Lin Yi's first recruitment of his personal guards seemed to send a signal to the outside world—a signal that the organization of his personal guards was being loosened.
The treatment of the royal guards is very attractive to geniuses like Luo Feng and Bo Lan, but it holds no appeal for powerful figures like Nightmare King.
The reason why so many powerful figures go to great lengths to recruit their relatives and friends is because they value the development potential of Lin Yi, the commander of the personal guard, and the Chaos City Lord standing behind him.
Befriending Lin Yi and gaining favor with the Lord of Chaos City was the goal of many powerful individuals.
The Bodhi Leaf... the Reversal Pill... made the powerful figures realize that Lin Yi had a secret, a great secret. However, with the Lord of Chaos City standing behind him, no one dared to act recklessly. They could only try to win him over through appeasement, and joining the Imperial Guard was the best way to achieve this.
……
Inside the palace in Chaos City, Lin Yi and the Nine Swords Venerable took their seats as guests. After taking a sip of tea, Lin Yi asked with a smile,
"Nine Swords, how about that Savage Axe? Has it broken through to the Universe Venerable realm yet?"
At the last auction, the Nine Swords Venerable spent a high price of 1.09 Treasure Points to purchase a Bodhi Leaf for the Invincible King of the Savage Axe, which would enhance his potential and help him break through.
Lin Yi was also very curious about the effects of a Bodhi leaf on a King-level expert.
