Chapter 1198: Yin Li's situation

Heart Palace Yunxi Island, Yin Li has been back here for three days.

However, unlike the grand welcome Lin Si received after her return, she barely caused any movement when she returned.

No one asked her long and short questions, let alone shh

Even so, like Lin Si, she disappeared for a year and a half.

It is not uncommon for a sect disciple like her to not be in the sect for a year and a half, but this reaction of the heart palace can still be called extremely abnormal.

After all, she was not an ordinary disciple, she was the number one cultivation genius in the Cangluo Continent.

Her every move should have attracted the attention of the entire cultivation world, let alone here?

She had returned from a long journey, and it was unlikely that no one would wonder where she had gone. What's more, Tang Xiaozhi had guesses, and these Heart Palace disciples also had them.

They were also curious about what Yin Li, who disappeared at the same time as Lin Si, had done in the past year and a half.

This curiosity reached the extreme after the news of Lin Si's return spread.

There is no need to verify anything at all, it is obvious that in that year and a half, Yin Li and Lin Si should be together. They disappeared together and came back together, and that says it all.

However, no one came to ask her.

Whether it is those Heavenly Realm elders, or personal disciples, inner and outer disciples.

This is a very abnormal thing, and Yin Li himself certainly knows it. In the past, when I returned to the sect, it would definitely not be this kind of 'treatment'.

She didn't even need to ask, but after a little speculation, she knew why all this was happening.

Leng Yao died, at the hands of Lin Si. Palace Master Leng Yun should have completely developed dislike and even resentment towards himself, after all, when he left privately, he went to help Lin Si.

And now, Lin Si has indeed come back safe and sound.

In addition, the fact that Lin Si is his friend is actually not a secret in Cangluo Continent for a long time. And whether it is Yuanya Mountain or Mingcheng Zhouxi City, in those three battles, the Heart Palace suffered huge losses.

Great Elder Su Qing was killed by Lin Si, and in addition, the six Heavenly Realm Elders, including Elder Su Qiu, also died in those three battles.

More than seventy realm-breaking disciples, including Leng Yao, also failed to survive.

In these three battles, the heart palace can be said to have suffered from the pain of the skin, and the loss is not small. They naturally regarded Lin Munie and the three as enemies of life and death, even if this incident was caused by them from the beginning, it was they who wanted to rob Lin Si's Heavenly Seal.

This kind of hatred has not been eliminated after Lin Munie and the three disappeared. If it weren't for the protection of the Lord of the Sword Sect, maybe Mingcheng would have been restless a long time ago.

As a result, many people's attitudes towards Yin Li have become subtle.

Yin Li had long known that Lin Si had the Heavenly Seal, but he didn't report it, which was no secret in the Heart Palace.

If the Heart Palace has no losses in the battle for the Heavenly Seal, and succeeds in capturing the Heavenly Seal, it is better to say. The point is that they have not gained anything, but have suffered huge losses.

When a plan fails, it is often necessary to find out the main cause of the failure and find out the person who is responsible. And this time, Yin Li obviously became the 'scapegoat'.

If she had reported Lin Si's Heavenly Seal Secret to the Heart Palace early on after she came back from Tianhe, then Lin Si, who was only in the Extreme Realm at the beginning, would not have survived at all. Even if he and Mu Zheping are incomparably wise, they can't compete with the huge gap in strength.

At that time, a Heaven Realm master was enough to crush them.

That way, there wouldn't be as much as that after that. There will be no Shangling Three Ghosts, there will be no losses on the Longyan battlefield, and there will be no 'disaster' afterward.

At the same time, the Heart Palace can also get the heavenly seal of Lin Mu and the others early. The current Heart Palace will have three Heavenly Seal cultivators, how strong will that be?

In the eyes of many Heart Palace disciples, Yin Li was the initiator of this series of catastrophes, and it was she who shielded Lin Si without authorization and opened the seal of the disaster. She has changed from the pride of the heart palace to the sinner of the heart palace.

The reason why no one came to arrest her for questioning was because she was once the number one cultivation genius.

In the past, this status was enough for her to be above many rules. At that time, as long as she didn't betray her heart, the people here would only warmly welcome her and treat her warmly.

But now, this identity can only keep her from being disturbed for the time being. Perhaps the elders are deliberating what to do with her, or perhaps they are simply leaving her to fend for herself.

Yes, she was originally able to receive spirit stones and pills that made other disciples blush every month, but now that she has been back for three days, no one has even prepared a meal for her.

The Heart Palace seemed to have forgotten that they had such a genius disciple.

The reason for all this is very simple, the Heart Palace already has another genius who is not inferior to her, a genius who cultivates the third heavenly seal.

During Yin Li's absence, this chosen daughter named Duan Yan has successfully replaced her former position and become the new darling of the Heart Palace.

From the age of five to fifteen, Yin Li cultivated from an ordinary person to the early stage of breaking through the realm in ten years. And this Third Day Seal cultivator only took a year and a half.

It's a very simple and natural choice, isn't it?

No one doubted that this Heavenly Seal cultivator would stop moving, because Lin Mu and the others had already used their strength to 'demonstrate' the magic of the Heavenly Seal cultivator.

No one doubted that her combat power would not be strong enough, because what Lin Mu and the others were best at was leapfrogging challenges. No one doubted that she would not be able to enter the Holy Realm, because the strength displayed by Lin Mu and the others in the last two battles had already surpassed the Heavenly Realm.

What Lin Mu and the others can do, of course this chosen daughter can also do, isn't it?

In comparison, Yin Li, who has committed a 'serious crime', cares about the enemy, is not single-minded about the heart palace, and no one can guarantee whether his talent will be exhausted, naturally became yesterday's yellow flower.

Maybe the elders of the Heart Palace are also conflicted in their hearts now, no matter what, Yin Li is still a genius above the vast majority of people, and he is already in the Heavenly Realm. With such a master, they don't want to give it up like that, it's completely tyrannical.

But someone always needs to be responsible for those injuries, doesn't it? If Yin Li is not responsible, then who is responsible? Leng Yun, the palace master who spread the news of the Heavenly Seal, decided to join forces with the various sects to besiege and kill the elders of the three ghosts of Shangling?

No, no, no, they don't want to bear these crimes.

Such a gate sect is actually similar to the court of a country. There is also intrigue and competition for power, and there is mutual co-optation and slander, as is the case with the Council of Elders in the Hall of Kings.

Within a sect, there are also many positions that represent status and interests, and around these positions, the elders are also doing their best.

Now everyone knows that it was a stupid trick to leak the secret of the Heavenly Seal at the beginning. Not only did they fail to use that secret to kill Lin Munie and the others, but they also made a feud with three geniuses who were destined to stand on the top of the continent in the future.

Everyone knew that after the news of the second Heavenly Seal Energy cultivation came out, it was a fool's move to besiege and kill those three people together with the masters of the various sects.

Without ascertaining the true strength of the 'enemy', they rashly dispatched those elites, and as a result, those elders and disciples were buried in those three battles. In fact, this move is no different from a war, when a general does not know the enemy's situation, and eventually leads to the annihilation of the army.

If such a crime were to be placed in any country on the mainland, the general would be demoted at the least and even imprisoned.

Those decisions were made by them, the elders of the council, the palace master Leng Yun, the great elder Su Qing and many others, and even finally consulted the Supreme Elder Zhu Yun, who was in retreat at the time, and received her nod of approval.

Which of them would dare to take on this responsibility?

If Leng Yun wins it with all her might, then her palace master may also be able to do it, the head of the family is not a hereditary king after all, and there is no one who can replace her.

And Su Qing is already dead, and it is impossible for the other elders to jump out stupidly at this time. As for Zhu Yun, heh, no one dares to sanction her, but she shouldn't want her prestige to be damaged, right?

Before that battle, the only one who had questioned the dispatch of troops was the second elder Su Yun. And afterwards, before she had time to make trouble, everyone tacitly found another scapegoat-Yin Li.

At that time, she, the young palace master, didn't know about those things at all, let alone participate in any deliberations and decisions?

However, after putting the blame on her, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief......

You must know that in Baiyun Dao and Supreme Cloud Turbulence, because of those two defeats, because of the attacks of Lu Si and Jing Bai and others, three late Heavenly Realm elders have been suppressed, and even the position of the head of Baiyun Dao has become unstable, and they don't want to fall to that step.

If Yin Li was still the only hope for the rise of the Heart Palace, then she would definitely not be treated like this. But unfortunately, now she is no longer the only one in the minds of the elders.

Compared with their own talents, which they can't see or touch, they believe in the magical heavenly seal.

At the very least, they no longer saw her as a supreme treasure that could not be lost, but only as an important genius elder. It doesn't seem like anything to sacrifice a genius elder to protect his own interests, right?

What's more, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

If a new genius wants to rise, it is natural to step on the original genius to ascend. Heavenly Seal cultivator Duan Yan is of course more reliable and has a brighter future than Yin Li, who relies on his own talent, so ...... It's time for the young palace master to be replaced.

If Lin Munie and the three of them join the Heart Palace, then the young palace master of the Heart Palace will still be Yin Li. Because those three are men, the heart palace has always been dominated by women. Secondly, those three people joined later after all, but this time Duan Yan is the granddaughter of the fourth elder Su Ning, a native of the Heart Palace!

Yin Li used to be a first-day talent, and now let Duan Yan be above her, think about it, she can't be balanced, right?

And if Duan Yan, an even more genius Heavenly Seal cultivator, was allowed to live under Yin Li, would she be able to accept it? I'm afraid that just going hand in hand, she wouldn't agree. She's already more talented than Yin Li, why? isn't she?

The elders also didn't want to see Yin Li and Duan Yan have an internal fight, which would consume the vitality of the sect and make the sect full of internal contradictions.

The current Duan Yan is far from Yin Li's opponent, but she has a future that Yin Li can't match.

In this case, pulling Yin Li down early, making her unable to fight, and establishing the status difference between the two as soon as possible can be regarded as avoiding many incidents in the future.

They didn't plan to get rid of Yin Li, if she was willing to be a 'second person', then they would gradually 'accept' her again, and she could still be above many people. Such a genius disciple, or even a disciple who might even advance to the Holy Realm, of course they didn't want to give up.

However, the beating of her is still necessary.

In their eyes, this is already very benevolent and special treatment. If the other elders had to bear that kind of guilt alone, how could she get the peace she has now?

She must understand that she is no longer as detached as she used to be, she must understand where she should be now, she must understand how absurd what she has done in the past, she is no longer qualified to be willful, she must accept the lesson and stand opposite Lin Si from now on.
