Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 251: Redemption and Persuasion, Three Tests of Light

Although it was a foregone conclusion that Lin Yi would become the Pavilion Master, he had not been involved in many other matters since he took the position, except for announcing a few orders such as changing the name.

During the competition period, the affairs of the Golden Pavilion were still presided over by Moon.

Lin Yi did perform well in handling some affairs before, but that was different from now. There is still a difference between being an agent and being the real helmsman, and the requirements are not exactly the same.

After Moon had given everyone a solution that satisfied them, it was hard for these people to believe that Lin Yi could come up with a better solution.

For a while, everyone thought of this incident as a test for Lin Yi after he became the Pavilion Master, to judge whether Lin Yi was suitable to be the Pavilion Master.

It’s a pity that these people got one thing wrong.

Moon didn't have these thoughts. He was just curious about what answer Lin Yi would give.

After two hundred years of training, Moon has already mastered the art of knowing the right measure.

Facing everyone's ambiguous gazes, Lin Yi slowly expressed his thoughts.

"My idea is very simple. Just like Master, I don't want to make a clear statement. However, I can't delay. I have to do something."

Moon's eyes moved and he nodded slightly.

"You keep talking".

"First, regarding the Three Kingdoms elites, my suggestion is to redeem those people. I, Shrek, can take charge of this."

Redeem it?
This does not show any targeting of Sun and Moon, and the Three Kingdoms, which originally belonged to Douluo, have nothing to say. After all, the people have been brought back and the Sun and Moon Empire has also been compensated. It can be said that this avoids affecting Shrek's neutral position to the greatest extent.

"As for the war in Mingdou Mountains, I plan to send several ministers to persuade both sides to cease fighting. Peace is the most important thing in all things."

Then, Lin Yi looked around and added a sentence.

"Just advice."

This……

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Lin Yi came up with such a countermeasure.

In everyone's view, Lin Yi's idea was unimportant, and this single point was enough to make everyone reject it.

That is, feasibility.

If I redeem the person, will the Sun and Moon Empire agree?

After going through so much trouble and bearing the pressure from the boss, you just let the person go for a little benefit?
What are you thinking?

Those people were captured by the Sun-Moon Empire in order to reduce resistance when attacking the Three Douluo Kingdoms. It was related to the Sun-Moon Empire's great cause of unifying the continent, so there was no way they would be let go like this!

And later on, they sent the elders to the Mingdou Mountains to persuade both sides to cease fire. Was it just persuasion?

Will they agree to that?
For a moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: this Pavilion Master was still too young, his ideas were too wild, and he needed more experience.

Moon did not silently give a score in his heart, but directly asked about his confusion about Lin Yi's thoughts.

"What if the Sun-Moon Empire refuses to redeem me?"

"It's okay. I have made arrangements with Sun and Moon. Although these elites from the Three Kingdoms are useful, they are not very useful. I can get them back by giving them some benefits."

Everyone looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

It's too early to make a conclusion. This Pavilion Master actually has a plan in mind.

Elder Lin, who held Shrek's financial power, spoke up at this moment, "May I ask what the identity of the spy the Pavilion Master has arranged in Sun and Moon is? What should we prepare accordingly?"

Moon suddenly thought of something, a smile flashed in his eyes, and his body completely relaxed.

In reality, Elder Lin was somewhat reluctant. After all, if she followed her idea and let Douluo Three Kingdoms pay the reward, and then Shrek took action, she might even make a profit. But she also knew that this was impossible. Shrek was an academy, not a mercenary organization. If that were the case, Shrek's position on the continent would change.

But now, Old Lin still felt a little sad that Shrek had to spend money to redeem the people from Douluo Three Kingdoms.

That was a transaction with a huge empire, and the money required was bound to be a huge expense.

But she also knew in her heart that if this could really be accomplished, the reputation that Shrek could gain would be far more valuable than those properties, and this money could not be saved. However, even though she knew this clearly, she still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Old Lin heard Lin Yi say: "There is no need for the academy to prepare. What that person wants is not ordinary wealth."

No need to spend money?

Mr. Lin was not at all happy when he heard this. Not spending money only meant that what the person wanted was more precious. In comparison, it would be better to spend money.

"Pavilion Master, who is the person who can help you redeem someone?"

Lin Yi had no intention of hiding it, so when he saw Old Lin asking, he told the truth directly.

"The Holy Son of the Holy Spirit, the Demon of Life".

As soon as this name came out, the expressions of the people present changed immediately.

The Holy Spirit Church was a sect that was definitely an evil soul master, and the Holy Son of Fate Demon was the first evil soul master to be exposed in the Holy Spirit Church. If this transaction were to become known, Shrek's reputation would be ruined.

No one expected that Lin Yi had quietly established a friendship with the evil soul master. Back then, outside Shrek City, it was this fate demon who seriously injured Lin Yi. This became the first and only injury record in Lin Yi's public record.

Lin Yi raised his hand and pressed it down to signal for silence, looking at everyone in the conference room with a serious expression.

"Everyone can rest assured that the leader of Shrek Golden Pavilion will not make deals with evil soul masters."

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Yi changed the subject and continued, "But if you carefully study the information about the Fate Demon, you will know that although the Fate Demon is in the Holy Spirit Church, he is not an evil soul master and has not even practiced evil magic.

"The Fate Demon has never harmed an innocent person in his entire cultivation, and there is not a trace of evil in his body. It is only because of his devouring attributes and because he is a member of the Holy Spirit Church that he is defined as an evil soul master by the world."

This……

Everyone looked at each other, is this what is going on?

"But it is an indisputable fact that the life demon devoured the Pavilion Master's vitality outside Shrek City."

Some people seized on this point and tried to refute the conclusion that life demons were not evil soul masters.

Lin Yi did not argue, but waved his hand and said, "It's just a little bit of vitality. I have the ultimate life attribute. That little bit of vitality is nothing. There is no need to worry about this matter."

The man paused, thinking carefully about the information about the Fate Demon, and found that there really was no malicious record. When fighting with Lin Yi at that time, the meaning of reincarnation in the last move was so amazing that even a Super Douluo was amazed.

If such a genius could become an orthodox soul master and not do evil, it would be a blessing for the continent.

After realizing this, everyone no longer had any doubts. However, there was still a war going on in the Mingdou Mountains. What was the point of simply trying to persuade them?
Moon En had already fully understood Lin Yi's intention.

Whether it is redemption or simple persuasion, the central theme is only one, just as Lin Yi said, the third option.

Between 'Yes' or 'No', select 'Or'.

In both cases, Lin Yi's decision did not show any obvious bias.

He showed no resistance or abandonment towards Douluo Three Kingdoms, nor did he show any obvious targeting towards the Sun-Moon Empire.

Shrek persuaded both sides to cease fire for the sake of peace on the continent.

But if you don't listen and insist on fighting, Shrek won't stop you.

As for Douluo Three Kingdoms, you said that you will not care about you anymore. What else do you want after I rescued that person for you? After all, you are an independent empire. You can't always rely on Shrek to be your nanny for everything, right?
In comparison, Moon's strategy of "delaying" cannot be said to be wrong, but those who have actually done things know that the word "delay" is hated by others.

It’s just that Shrek is so powerful that no one dares to say anything openly, but secretly, Shrek’s image will inevitably be damaged.

Although this damaged image wouldn't be a concern as long as Shrek remained strong, since there was a way to preserve the image, why would it be different?

Lin Yi didn't explain further; if you don't understand, figure it out yourself. This was an order from the Pavilion Master of the Golden Pavilion; all you had to do was obey.

On the redemption side, Lin Yi went in person to persuade the warring parties in Mingdou Mountain Range to cease fire. On the other side, it was Old Zhuang who took Qian Duoduo and Lin Qingxuan on this trip.

However, in order to avoid any accidents, Xuan Zi was still sent to protect secretly. The same rules still apply, just protect and ignore other matters.

Two auxiliary soul masters plus one defensive soul master are believed to be able to show that Shrek only wants to persuade.

After all, the focus is on Mr. Zhuang, Shrek's number one healing soul master. Although Qian Duoduo and Lin Qingxuan have the title of dean of the soul guidance department and the identity of soul mentors, their strength is not enough to win in a war. This is enough.

Otherwise, if we send Song Lao, Yan Shaozhe and others to persuade them, it would not be for persuasion, but for threat.

If you don't stop fighting, we will all be destroyed.

Mr. Zhuang's support system and personality are very good, which completely fits Lin Yi's ideas, so he just gives him advice.

No one dared to attack Mr. Zhuang and others.

Xuan Zi is guarding him, and behind him is Shrek, the number one force on the continent, and Lin Yi, who is now vaguely known as the strongest man on the continent. The safety is guaranteed, and all he needs to do is persuade him.

Go into the tents of both commanders, exchange polite greetings, and ask for a ceasefire. Peace is the most important thing. If we keep fighting, the people will suffer.

Then the two sides continued to fight, and Mr. Zhuang and others continued to persuade them.

Don't interfere, just advise...

After receiving the order, Mr. Zhuang immediately went there with Qian Duoduo and Lin Qingxuan, while Lin Yi had a warm and affectionate time with his two girlfriends.

Lin Yi is young to begin with, and is at the age when he knows the taste of meat. Ma Xiaotao's Samadhi True Fire is incomplete, and her desire is rising. Zhang Lexuan is nearly thirty years old, and her charm is beginning to show. After trying meat, she also understands the taste.

The three of them stayed together for several days, and only after feeding the two girls well did Lin Yi embark on his journey back to the past.

Inexplicably, the same strong feeling as before appeared in Lin Yi's heart again, almost like a whim, but a little clearer.

However, Lin Yi is no longer affected as severely as before, as his status as the Lord of the Planes is enough for him to control it.

Following the information given by the fate demon, Lin Yi went straight to the Rising Sun City of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The current Sun-Moon Empire poses almost no danger to Lin Yi. Although various soul guides are sophisticated, they are unable to detect Lin Yi's figure.

Along the way, Lin Yi flew over in a swaggering manner, until he finally landed on the ground outside Risheng City.

With a casual sweep of his mental power, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

Two fully staffed soul guide regiments were guarding outside the Risen City. The soul guide positions had already been arranged, and the thick gun barrels were flashing with a cold light.

The sky is filled with densely packed soul-detecting devices, which are constantly searching for possible anomalies.

The city gates were under complete martial law, and every citizen entering the city had to undergo strict inspection.

The entire Sunrise City is wrapped tightly to ensure that not even a fly can get in.

The defense outside the city is tight, and the defense inside the city is no less tight.

The patrol personnel conduct various inspections, checks, and random inspections. At the center, there are various high-level soul guides arranged, a considerable number of which are fixed-install soul guides, among which there are even ninth-level soul guides.

If the casualties of civilians were ignored, the destructive power would make it difficult for even a Titled Douluo to escape unscathed.

It can be seen that the Sun-Moon Empire attaches great importance to the elites of the Three Kingdoms imprisoned here, and has wrapped the entire Sunrise tightly.

However, these are nothing to Lin Yi.

It is impossible for the detection soul guide to detect Lin Yi's figure. Neither the shielding of mental power nor the obstruction of plane power can be penetrated by these detection soul guides.

The same applies to those high-level soul guides and fixed-type soul guides. Even if it is a ninth-level soul guide, it is quite challenging for the operator to hurt Lin Yi.

The only difficulty in Lin Yi's action this time is that he cannot use the power of the plane.

The reason is very simple, because it is a test from God.

After the Dark God's throne dissipated, Lin Yi only had the Light God's test left. On the way here, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he had not read the content of the third test after completing the second light test.

Then I learned that the content of the third exam had changed.

From killing the evil soul masters at the Titled Douluo level to rescuing the elites of the Three Kingdoms who were imprisoned in the Rising Sun City.

At the same time, there are also the usual restrictions of the divine test, and one cannot rely on the power of the plane.

This adds a little difficulty to the redemption operation which is just a formality.

However, the essence of the divine test, which is to speed up Lin Yi's growth, has not changed.

Because the reward for this divine test is a 10% increase in affinity with the God of Light, a two-level increase in soul power, and a divinely bestowed soul ring.

The affinity with the divine position can allow Lin Yi to burst out with divine-level combat power. Improving soul power is what Lin Yi needs most at the moment. Lin Yi does not need the divine soul ring, after all, he can condense his own soul ring.

But for others, the Divine Condensation Soul Ring is still a treasure.

Whether it is Beibei or Huo Yuhao and others, they can all use it, but they cannot use Lin Yi's method of self-condensing soul ring.

Even if he cannot use the power of the plane, redeeming people this time is still not a difficult task for Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi's combat power far exceeds his cultivation level, and he also has the clone of Life Demon working together inside and outside the Holy Spirit Church.

But in the judgment of the divine test, rescuing the elites of the Three Kingdoms is much more difficult than killing an evil soul master of the Titled Douluo level, and the rewards that the God of Light can give are more generous. Otherwise, those things can only be given half, and it is all the care of the God of Light.

Shaking his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Lin Yi officially started his action.

After glancing at the soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire, Lin Yi walked to the outside of the south city wall on his own.

The shielding of mental power and the refraction of light made Lin Yi's figure unnoticed.

With the information about the fate demon, Lin Yi did not need to investigate and went directly to the correct location.

Then, the ultimate soil appeared, and the soil under Lin Yi's feet gradually became soft, and Lin Yi's body sank into the soil so easily.

A few meters later, Lin Yi floated up and came to the entrance of the soldier cave inside the city wall. The life demon was already waiting there.

As soon as Lin Yi appeared, the life demon turned around and walked inside.

At this time, Lin Yi and his clone were already in sync with each other, so there was no need to say anything more and they just followed calmly.

After going deeper, a water dungeon came into view.

The thick rocks around it and the steel cage all demonstrate the solidity of this water dungeon.

Hundreds of people were placed in dozens of iron cages, with muddy water soaking their chests. Only one head was completely exposed outside, looking weak.

It makes sense. Although the stone walls, iron cages and water are strong, it is not difficult for this group of elites from major academies and sects, as well as the strong men who lead the team, to break them.

What really weakened these people to this extent was the Soul-Destroying Powder in the water from the Holy Spirit Sect.

Lin Yi did not hide his true identity at all as he walked in the aisle in the middle of the water dungeon. The evil soul master guarding the place had already been sent away by the fate demon.

Looking at these somewhat familiar faces, Lin Yi felt a little emotional.

The sudden retreat of the evil soul master had already surprised these elites. When they suddenly heard footsteps, they subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. Lin Yi's familiar face was easily discovered by everyone.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Yi smiled slightly.

"Everyone, I'm here to take you home."
