9771 Chapter 9770-
These two families were the weather fodders for the other families in Jianghai city. Compared to them, the other families were much weaker in all aspects. Now that these two families had made the important decision to cut off their arms to survive, what did this mean?
When the group of representatives thought of this, they were all stunned.
Compared to the talisman Wang clan and the wind god Shen clan, their cultivation level and information resources were far inferior. Although they had sensed danger before this, they had not thought that the situation was really that serious.
At the very least, it was far from being serious to the point where their entire family would be destroyed.
In the eyes of most of them, the so-called great calamity in the rumors was actually a pretense released by the city Lord’s mansion, a pretense used to incite panic and take the opportunity to harvest them.
The city Lord’s mansion’s recent table manners also proved this point.
But now, after seeing the attitudes of the two major families, they finally realized that things might not be that simple!
If it was just one of the guilds that made a wrong decision due to a mistake in intelligence, there was still a chance.
But now, the two families had made the same decision at the same time. It was impossible to say that the two families with the best intelligence resources had been blinded by lard and made such a major mistake at the same time, right?
For a moment, all the representatives panicked.
Now it seemed that the Great Tribulation was far more terrifying than they had imagined, even more so than the rumors. It was so terrifying that even the enormous forces like the talisman Wang family and the wind god Shen family admitted that they couldn’t withstand it, and there was a huge risk of their families being destroyed!
The two most important bosses had already jumped off the ship, so what would happen to them if they continued to stay on the ship?
“Young hero Lin … No, Lin Wuju!”
One of the most senior representatives stood up first. He was the same generation as old master Shen, but he was bowing in front of Lin Yi.
There must be something to ask for when one is polite.
Lin Yi looked at the representatives and said faintly,”Everyone, if you have anything to say, you can just say it.”
“Lin Wuju, I’ve heard that you have a large territory in the eastern District of the repeat Academy. Can you leave a spot for us? as long as you agree, we’ll do our best to satisfy any conditions we can!”
All the representatives agreed.
They were all extremely powerful figures in their respective families. Even if they couldn’t make a decision with a single word, they had enough influence.
Moreover, although they were provoked now, they were not so blind as to directly move their entire clan like the two families. What they wanted now was to leave a way out for each of them.
If something really happened, even if they couldn’t hide in the repeat school like the talisman Wang family and the wind god Shen family, they should at least leave some core seeds for the family.
In truth, this was what the talisman Wang family had been thinking from the start.
Eggs could not be placed in one basket. This was the inherent thinking mode of large family forces. It was an instinct that was engraved in the bones of the family to reproduce and pass on.
“It’ll be difficult,”Lin Yi shook his head.
This was not an excuse, but it was really difficult.
Even though he was one of the five major retained students, there were many rules that he couldn’t break without permission.
As the leading families in Jianghai city, the talisman formation Wang family and the wind god Shen family could directly speak to the Tian family because of their high status. As long as they offered enough benefits, it was enough to make most of the important people who had the right to speak nod and agree, or at least tacitly agree.
However, these clans were different.
When they gathered together, their momentum could be considered great, but once they separated, they were not qualified to talk to the Tian family at all. Even if they wanted to give gifts, they might not be able to find the door of the Tian family’s old master.
Furthermore, with the scale of their businesses, even if they were willing to part with the profits, it would be difficult to satisfy the various influential figures of Jianghai University.
At the end of the day, Jianghai Academy’s entry threshold had never been low. It was not a place where just anyone could get in.
The expressions of all the representatives changed.
They knew that Lin Yi was telling the truth and were mentally prepared for it, but they still couldn’t accept it when the two words came into their ears.
This was like the chief surgeon pushing open the door of the operating theater and coming out. The first thing he said was,”we’ve done our best.”
Who wouldn’t collapse?
However, no matter how much they collapsed, they had to accept reality. A luxury item like a path of retreat wasn’t something that any power could have.
“Lin Wuju, please help us think of a way. No matter what the conditions are, we’ll satisfy them even if we have to go bankrupt. As long as you open up a path for us in the repeat school and let us put some outstanding family members in.”
“Yes, yes, I promise that they are the most outstanding disciples of the family. They will become your subordinates, do their best to serve you, and be at your command!”
“That’s right, we’re the same!”
For a moment, the crowd was excited.
If Lin Yi wasn’t sure that he didn’t know these people at all, he’d be suspecting that they hired someone to help them.
They didn’t know that the human heart was like this.
If it was just one family, it would not be a big deal. However, once any one of them took the lead, they would immediately be driven by it and fight to be the first one, afraid that they would be left behind.
This was no different from the bank run in the secular world.
Lin Yi was in a difficult position, but the more he acted like this, the more the representatives wanted to get close to him, offering higher and higher prices!
Wang sanjue and Shen Tianyang looked at this scene and laughed without saying anything.
Now that they’d decided to bind themselves to Lin Yi, naturally, they’d want more allies-this was the time for them to gather together.
Whoever had the slightest bit of hope would definitely be the first to die.
It was a great opportunity to win people’s hearts, and while Lin Yi didn’t really care about it, he didn’t really want to keep them at arm’s length since they’d come to him on their own.
The Lin Yi group under him was starting to take shape, but it still lacked a solid foundation, especially the logistics and support channels. These were his biggest shortcomings that limited his development.
While these families and forces in Jianghai city were not particularly outstanding individually, when they were all gathered together, they could perfectly make up for his weakness in this aspect!
Moreover, it wasn’t like he couldn’t solve their requests.
It would be extremely difficult to move the entire family into the repeating school, but if only a few outstanding disciples from each family joined him, he could open a back door to enter the repeating school as a student. With his current strength and status, it wouldn’t be a problem.
In the end, the repeating Academy was different from the Academy. It was a highly autonomous place.
Especially since Lin Yi was one of the five, no one could stop him. As long as he didn’t just randomly place people in other places, even the other five wouldn’t interfere.
Moreover, he had just killed the fallen Dragon.
