518: Section 518

"Agreed!"

"We agree as well!"

"I support it!"

"Alright, agreed..."

Once the principals of all the universities had expressed their stance, Tang Baichuan smiled: "Then let's strike while the iron is hot and go directly to Old Yao to lay our cards on the table!"

Chapter 345: How could the exchange list be missing Lin Yi?

Longhu Mountain.

Inside the barrier.

Lin Yi had returned here once again.

There was a familiar feeling.

The White Tiger and Xiao Qi had also been released.

They could romp and play here to their heart's content, completely unrestricted.

However, except for Xiao Qi, the White Tiger could not leave this barrier.

Lin Yi sat outside the wooden hut, cross-legged on a giant boulder.

The sound of the waterfall beside his ears was like thousands of troops galloping.

[Current Realm: Star Quenching Realm]

[Current Source Qi: 99.99%]

Just like before, the Source Qi was already full.

He was just one final push away from surging directly into the Divine Abyss Realm.

Lin Yi's eyes were tightly closed, waiting for the Bottleneck to loosen.

As long as he found the opportunity, he could directly break through the shackles and step into the Divine Abyss Realm.

It was just that this process would be slightly longer.

A Breakthrough in Realm required an opportunity.

Therefore, Lin Yi was not anxious. Moreover, he had the Starry Sky Daoist helping him.

He had been continuously channeling energy into him, transmitting Source Qi into Lin Yi's body.

Using Source Qi to impact the Bottleneck might perhaps shorten the progress of the Breakthrough.

Time passed day by day.

Just as Lin Yi reached the fifth day of his seclusion, Senior Brother Zhong Yan returned to Longhu Mountain with a group of Disciples.

The moment he found his Second Senior Brother, he hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother, where is Lin Yi? Has he returned yet?"

Hearing this, the Second Senior Brother smiled and nodded.

"He returned, but he went into seclusion the same day, saying that his Cultivate had encountered some Bottleneck!"

"By the way, don't be in a rush to find him; you won't be able to see him even if you try. I've already arranged for Disciples to stand guard there!"

"Tell me about the situation at the battlefield first. Did you see Revered Master?" The Second Senior Brother stopped Senior Brother Zhong Yan, who was about to head to the barrier.

"I saw him. Master is currently helping General Yi Nanshan guard the Forbidden Zone Battlefield!" Senior Brother Zhong Yan nodded.

"Then we can rest easy. With Master and General Yi Nanshan guarding that place, they should be able to deter the Yao Beast in the Forbidden Zone to some extent!" the Second Senior Brother said with a smile.

Senior Brother Zhong Yan glanced at him without revealing the situation in the Forbidden Zone.

The situation there was already very dire.

There were Great Yao above the Tongxin Realm, and there was more than one.

Once they took the lead in attacking the Restriction, even General Yi Nanshan and the Old Celestial Master would be unable to stop them.

When that time came, it would truly be dangerous.

The entire Huawu General Alliance, both the new and old districts, would be plunged into deep misery.

If those Yao Beast all rushed out of the Forbidden Zone, it would inevitably cause devastation and rivers of blood.

The only way now was to have Lin Yi reach the level of a Martial God as soon as possible.

Only he had the hope of resolving this crisis.

It was just that with Lin Yi's current cultivation base, there was simply no hope in sight for him to reach the Martial God Realm.

However, as long as he could raise his Realm beyond the Tongxin Realm, even reaching the Beidou Realm would allow him to suppress those Yao Beast.

However... that was easier said than done.

Wanting to cross levels continuously from the Star Quenching Realm to the Beidou Realm?

The difficulty was not much lower than reaching the Martial God Realm.

There wasn't much time left.

No one knew when those Great Yao would launch an attack on the Restriction.

It could be today, or it could be tomorrow.

It might be in a few months, or even a few years.

However, they couldn't afford to gamble, and they couldn't afford to wait.

This concerned the life and death of the entire Huawu General Alliance; who would dare to bet the lives of hundreds of millions of people?

Yet, the timing was unpredictable; all they could do was patiently wait for Lin Yi's growth.

This had fallen into a deadlock...

Before leaving, the Old Celestial Master had repeatedly warned Senior Brother Zhong Yan.

He must absolutely not tell anyone about the matters in the Forbidden Zone.

Not even to the Second Senior Brother or Lin Yi.

Once someone leaked it, the consequences would be irreversible.

Therefore, Senior Brother Zhong Yan kept his promise.

He must never mention what happened in the Forbidden Zone to anyone.

He had to keep the news covered up until a solution was found.

"Wait, what is actually wrong with you? Why do you look so absent-minded?" The Second Senior Brother said to Senior Brother Zhong Yan, his brows deeply furrowed.

"Huh? What? No, how am I absent-minded?" Senior Brother Zhong Yan shook his head.

"Keep pretending, you just keep pretending with me!"

"Do you think I don't know what kind of personality you have?"

"Tell me the truth, what exactly happened with Master? Is the problem big?"

The Second Senior Brother saw through the fact that Senior Brother Zhong Yan had something on his mind at a glance.

After he spoke, Senior Brother Zhong Yan was dazed for a moment.

Only then did he sigh softly: "Sigh, nothing can be hidden from Second Senior Brother!"

"Originally, Master didn't want me to say anything, but you insisted on asking. Fine, I'll disobey Master's orders and tell you this once; otherwise, it's unbearable for me to keep it inside!"

"Master and General Yi Nanshan are investigating matters of betrayal in the Forbidden Zone. They suspect that there are traitors within The Army, and they are secretly investigating this matter!"

"Originally, I wasn't allowed to say anything, since there are no results yet!"

"Once it gets leaked, everything they have done before will be for nothing!"

After Senior Brother Zhong Yan finished speaking, the Second Senior Brother suddenly realized the truth.

However, Senior Brother Zhong Yan wasn't lying; General Yi Nanshan and the Old Celestial Master were indeed investigating this matter.

Before the Great Yao appeared, it had always been conducted in secret.

Therefore, Senior Brother Zhong Yan did not lie. He only avoided the serious and focused on the trivial.

The Second Senior Brother looked at him deeply: "Since Master didn't want you to say it, why did you tell me? I didn't hear anything you just said. I'll pretend you never said it..."

Senior Brother Zhong Yan: "..."

"Wait, you were the one forcing me to ask earlier, and now that I've said it, you're playing this game with me, right?" Senior Brother Zhong Yan was so angry he laughed.

The Second Senior Brother waved his hand: "What? What did you say? I didn't hear anything. Oh my, what's wrong today, I have a bit of tinnitus!"

"My ears are buzzing; I need to go find Junior Sister to take a look!"

After he finished speaking, the Second Senior Brother feigned ignorance and walked down the mountain towards the university.

Watching his departing figure, Senior Brother Zhong Yan smiled.

He had finally managed to fool him; the Second Senior Brother was just that kind of personality.

He liked to get to the bottom of everything.
