Even Shangguan Xinyan was stunned where she stood, shocked by Lin Yi’s frankness. She clearly hadn’t expected Lin Yi to brazenly admit to such a thing in front of a large audience.
Upon hearing this, Situ Qian was initially taken aback, it took him a moment to react, then he burst out, "Lin Yi, you have quite the nerve!"
"Daring to defile the Holy Daughter, your crime is even greater than hers!"
"The one who should be executed is you!"
Having found an opportunity to attack Lin Yi, how could Situ Qian miss it? Lin Yi truly had the audacity of a lion and bear combined and committed such an audacious act against all common sense. This was a perfect moment to suppress Lin Yi, while also removing the obstacles represented by Shangguan Xinyan and Lin Yi!
Just when Situ Qian thought he could get rid of the obstacle that was Lin Yi, Lin Yi himself remained completely composed, confidently saying, "It is only right for the Saint Heir and the Holy Daughter to be together within the Sect, for one of us will become the Sect Hierarch."
"The other will then become the companion of the Sect Hierarch."
"The two of us simply experienced what it feels like to be the Sect Hierarch and the Sect Leader’s Wife ahead of time, what’s wrong with that?"
Faced with Lin Yi’s sophistry, several high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect couldn’t help but frown. Though it was a stretch, they had to admit that Lin Yi’s point had some semblance of logic.
In theory, it was true.
Situ Qian let out a cold laugh, "Of course, that would be possible if one of you could become the Sect Hierarch."
"However, in front of this old man, do you think you two juniors stand a chance?"
Now, whether it was his seniority, strength, or popularity, he was more than enough to overwhelmingly dominate Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan.
This Acting Sect Leader’s role was his for sure.
Lin Yi spoke indifferently, "Supreme Elder, you might be overly confident. You might be the oldest here, but when it comes to strength, that might not be the case."
Lin Yi’s words made the high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect present reveal a hint of surprise.
From where does Lin Yi get such confidence, daring to be so bold in front of Situ Qian?
Could it be that he doesn’t know that Situ Qian is a powerful practitioner of the Sealing King Realm Sixth Level?
"It seems this old man has not made a move for too long, and people within the Sect seem to have some misunderstanding about my strength..." Situ Qian looked at Lin Yi, his eyes brimming with cold intentions, "Even the young ones no longer respect this old man..."
As his words fell, a tremendously powerful momentum suddenly burst forth from Situ Qian.
It was the overwhelming pressure unique to the Sealing King Realm Sixth Level!
As Situ Qian unleashed his pressure, Heavenly Illusion King and Cloud Demon King immediately flashed in front of Lin Yi, looking seriously at Situ Qian, "You are a highly respected elder, why get into a petty quarrel with the younger generation?"
In the absence of the Blood Empress, with Situ Qian’s strength at the Sixth Level of the Sealing King Realm, no one could contend with him, not even if the two of them joined forces.
However, just as the two were tense and a massive battle seemed about to erupt, Lin Yi stretched out both his hands, patted their shoulders, and stepped in front of Heavenly Illusion King and Cloud Demon King, "Both of you, there’s no need to stand up for me."
"I, the Saint Heir, wouldn’t make such bold statements without having the confidence to back them up."
Hearing this, both Heavenly Illusion King and Cloud Demon King couldn’t help but frown, looking at Lin Yi in disbelief. Having the confidence to face Situ Qian, was this young man serious?
But seeing Lin Yi’s serious expression, they chose to believe him and backed away.
Amused by Lin Yi’s inexplicable confidence, Situ Qian sneered and then launched a Blood God Palm towards Lin Yi.
Under the Blood Palm, a sea of blood surged toward Lin Yi.
However, the moment Situ Qian made his move, a magnificent blood shadow also condensed behind Lin Yi. The blood shadow, donned in armor, resembled a War God bathed in blood, emitting a majestic aura.
The instant it formed, the blood shadow lifted its massive palm and slammed it forward.
A loud bang echoed; the sea of blood instantly shattered and fragmented.
Situ Qian’s eyes suddenly widened in shock, his jaw nearly dropped, "Blood God Dharma Form, is it really the Blood God Dharma Form?"
Not just Situ Qian, but other high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect also showed incredulous expressions.
The Blood God Dharma Form was a fearsome form that one could only condense after mastering the "Blood God Scripture" to its ultimate stage.
"Blood God Scripture," that was their Sect’s supreme scripture, profound and inscrutable. Even these old fellows had not reached this stage and only heard of the Blood God Dharma Form’s existence.
To think that today, they would see the Blood God Dharma Form manifest in Lin Yi, this young Saint Heir.
Was it possible that Lin Yi, at such a young age, had fully grasped the "Blood God Scripture"?
People like Blood Netherworld King and Sky Evil King felt a tumultuous surge in their hearts. This Lin Yi was truly a once-in-a-generation genius in the history of their Sect.
Only Heavenly Illusion King felt no surprise, for the Blood Empress had only told her the truth. When Lin Yi had ventured into the Blood God Tower, he had reached the Seventh Floor and defeated the Blood Ancestor.
Even compared to the Blood Empress, Lin Yi seemed slightly superior.
