Chapter 3960: Chapter 3958-Lin Yi being investigated
Translator: 549690339
Judging from the severity of the situation, it could be confirmed that the mine collapse this time was a once-in-a-Millennium mine. However, because the initial mine collapse point was the tenth dead Kuangqu, only a few pieces of spiritual Jade could be contributed in a year. Although the other mining areas were also affected, it was not a big problem. As long as the protection was reinforced, mining could proceed as usual. Therefore, the loss of spiritual Jade caused by the mine collapse this time could be said to be minimal.
As for the casualties, the final count was extremely small, with only one dead and 13 injured.
Naturally, the one who died was Meng jueguang. Other than Lin Yi and the two guards from the tenth Kuangqu, there were ten other injured people from the mine, most of them from fighting while escaping.
Even so, the mine collapse this time was still highly regarded. After all, the one who died was Meng jueguang. The letter of appointment for the third Pavilion master of the welcome new pavilion had already been drafted. Without a doubt, he had entered the ranks of the high-ranking members of the welcome new pavilion. He could be considered the highest-ranking martyr in the history of the mine collapse of the spirit Jade Hall.
At Meng jueguang’s level, there was no need for him to personally mine the ores. He would not even go into the mines too many times, so he did not need to be on the front line. Naturally, he would not appear on the list of martyrs. Only Meng jueguang was an exception this time.
Meng jueguang’s death immediately caused a stir in all parties. Needless to say, when the news of it spread, from Pavilion Lord Hu Yunfeng to the ordinary GreenCloud Pavilion’s new disciples, everyone was shocked and fell into chaos.
For the welcoming new pavilion, Meng jueguang’s death was no less than a reshuffling of power. They were both third Pavilion Masters, but Meng jueguang’s death and Lu bianren’s departure were two completely different concepts.
As the previous third Pavilion master, Lu bianren’s expulsion was not a big change for the welcoming new pavilion. This was because Meng jueguang had long since locked in the position of the successor. No one could take away this fat piece of meat that was in his mouth, so Lu bianren’s departure would not cause much chaos.
However, Meng jueguang was different. He had only just been preparing to take over the position of the pavilion master. He had not even received the letter of appointment for the third Pavilion master. His death could not be said to not be sudden. It was as if he had wiped out a blank space in the power hierarchy of the welcome Pavilion.
Without a doubt, this was definitely a piece of fat meat. However, in a situation where no one was mentally prepared, it was suddenly thrown in front of everyone. A group of dogs fighting for food, and chaos was inevitable.
In addition, the position of the third Pavilion master of the welcome Pavilion was not the only one that had been vacated by Meng Jue Guang’s death. The position of the eldest senior brother of the GreenCloud Pavilion’s new manager was also vacant.
For a period of time, the new disciples of the GreenCloud Pavilion were in a state of panic. Those with strength and skill would naturally want to take this opportunity to rise to the next level. Even if they couldn’t hope for the position of the third Pavilion master for the time being, the position of the eldest senior brother of the GreenCloud Pavilion’s new manager wasn’t a glorious position, but it was an extremely important one. It was also a position that many people coveted.
However, the majority of the GreenCloud Pavilion’s new disciples weren’t thinking about this problem. They didn’t have the strength to compete with others. The only thing they wanted to do now was to protect themselves.
When Meng jueguang was still alive, they had no problem submitting to him-even when Lin Yi’s strength put Meng jueguang’s side at a disadvantage, it wasn’t a big problem. After all, an arm couldn’t win against a leg. As long as Meng jueguang became the 3rd house master, everything would be fine.
But now, with the collapse of the mine, Meng jueguang’s future and even life and death would be at stake.
If they didn’t make a wise decision now, they couldn’t guarantee that Lin Yi wouldn’t do something to them later. Even if they hid in their shells, they’d be in big trouble if they were excluded.
However, no matter what they thought, no matter what decision they made, they still had to look at one person’s face, and that person was Lin Yi.
When Meng jueguang was still around, he was already forced back by Lin Yi, but now that he was dead, Lin Yi was the only one in power. This was an inevitable reality.
No newbie in the pavilion would be able to do anything without Lin Yi as their backing. They had to open their eyes and see what Lin Yi’s attitude was.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t get in touch with Lin Yi at all, because he was being investigated by the Hall of Justice.
In the interrogation room of the law enforcement Hall, Lin Yi looked at the master in front of him and shook his head silently. Enemies meet on a narrow road. The person in charge of the interrogation was a familiar face, Ma Jian.
Lin Yi still remembered clearly that although this Ma Jian was from the Hall of Justice, he was actually on Xu lingchong’s side. During the newbie assessment, he had secretly attacked Lin Yi during both the suppression and resistance segments. Lin Yi was lucky that he had a strong trump card and was able to deal with it calmly. If it were any other newbie, it was possible that they would have died under this person’s schemes.
Strictly speaking, he did not know this Ma Jian. There was no enmity between them in the past and there was no enmity between them. They only stood on opposite sides because of his relationship with Xu lingchong. This time, it was no exception.
“Name, identity, tell me the truth!” Ma Jian crossed his legs casually as he sized Lin Yi up with a cold smile.
As Lin Yi expected, he did receive Xu lingchong’s orders this time. Not only did he have to make things difficult for Lin Yi, but if possible, he also had to push all the blame onto Lin Yi and get rid of him.
Meng jueguang’s death was a huge loss to Xu lingchong. Meng jueguang’s abilities had been recognized by Xu lingchong and he was gradually being incorporated into his core circle. He would be of great use in the future.
Otherwise, Xu lingchong would not have given Meng jueguang so many cultivation resources and rare pills. He even asked his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, to help him fight for the position of the third Pavilion master of the welcome Pavilion.
In young master Xu lingchong’s plans for the future, Meng jueguang was like his left and right arm. Now that Meng jueguang was dead, it was like losing an arm to him. Not only did he lose his future wings, but all his previous investments had also gone to waste.
However, the good thing was that Lin Yi and Meng jueguang were at the same place when the mine collapsed, and it was at the starting point. No matter what the details were, this gave Xu lingchong the chance to make a big fuss.
If he could use this chance to get rid of Lin Yi, it would be a great move. However, it was a critical time for him to compete with the southern Heaven sect for the position of the eldest senior brother of the soaring Sky Pavilion. He didn’t have the energy to do it himself, so he could only let Ma Jian handle it. After all, Ma Jian had a job and was already familiar with such matters. He was an experienced man.
