Chapter 2435 - Civil War


    After saying that, Lin Jie immediately turned around. Given his charisma, there were still more than four thousand astral gods that followed him, but many hesitated and backed off. He had revealed his true colors to them.


    "Lin Jie and the rest of you are all sinners in the n!"


    "You’re the shame of the fifth branch!"


    "All of you are insane! Nothing good wille of this today!"


    "Stop them! They’ve revealed their true motives and can’t be allowed to seed!"


    Though there were many people openly crying out against them, they were still fearful enough to not act for now. However, they continued following from behind just in case they wanted to act. It was clear that Lin Jie and the rest hadn''t expected things to go south so quickly before they had even carried out their n. Fortunately, they had still moved quickly enough. If they had been just a little bitter, the vicinity of the council hall would be filled with so many people that they wouldn''t be able to advance in the slightest.


    "Nobody hesitate in the slightest! Take action immediately. If we miss this chance, there''ll be no hope for us any longer!" Lin Jie ordered as he descended with the four-thousand-plus astral gods.


    "Understood!" The ones who followed him wouldn’t budge at this juncture; they were his loyalists. Outside the council hall were twenty thousand astral gods standing ready to meet them. They were inbat formation and had nearly a hundred thousand lifebound beasts deployed, all of them burning with fighting spirit.


    "Halt! Should you dare to take a single step toward the council hall, we’ll strike to kill!" Lin Chongyao announced from the Phantavoid while keeping an eye out for the appearance of the invader from the foreign world and Tianxi.


    "Lin Chongyao, how dare you refuse the right of us council members to enter the council hall?" Lin Yun came out screeching.


    "Stop bullshitting. Everyone knows what you’re nning. Don''t pretend to be ignorant. If you want to prove your innocence, immediately turn back and don’t return within ten days! If you do that, I’ll kneel before the Myriadsword Mausoleum in apology to you!" Lin Xiong yelled. His wordspletely sealed the mouths of the other side. Not only that, it drew even more n members from all directions. They spotted the dissenting council members and their loyal astral gods from far away.


    "The rumors were true!"


    "The reformists are losing it!"


    "Those animals are actually trying to kill our genius within the council hall! Nothing’s more evil than that! I am ashamed that I bear the same surname as them!"


    "Fuck off!"


    With more and more peopleing their way, it only made it even harder for them to act.


    "Lin Jie!" Lin Ziqing said, eyes rolling. "What should we do? We haven''t even taken action yet and everyone knows now!"


    "I made preparations. Just wait a little while." Lin Jie''s expression was one of calm and focus, despite being at the center of the controversy.


    "The problem is that, even if we do kill that brat, it won’t be ideal and wouldn''t look good for us," Lin Yun said with worry. He hadn''t expected them to be cornered to this extent at all.


    "It''s fine. They’ll eventually give in. Pure might is the only justice in this world." Lin Jie turned to the south and smiled.


    "Fuck off!" Countless people jeered at them nonstop.


    Tianming could clearly see what was going on within the council hall. "Uncle Chongyao, careful! Lin Jie’s going to use his divine astralship!"


    There were only thousands of astral gods beside Lin Jie. With the defenses around the council hall, there would be no way for them to barge in. But Tianming knew that they wouldn''t give up that easily.


    "They''ve really gone insane! How dare they use divine astralships?!" There was a ban on divine astralshipbat within the Infinitum Bodhimanda, yet the ebons broke that rule, and now the reformists did, too! Not to mention, it was even less justified than the former!


    "It''s the Judgment! Lin Jie''s gonepletely insane!"


    "Curses! Everyone, avoid it!"


    Nobody had expected the madness would escte to this degree. Using a divine astralship wasn''t just a breaking of convention, but aplete vition of the Infinitum Bodhimanda''sws. There would be consequences. Lin Chongyao had only ever used the Phantavoid to protect Tianming, without using it for offensive purposes. Yet the iing gigantic ck-and-white sword soared through the sky as it channeled nova source to its weapons. Countless people freaked out and cursed as they watched it approach the council hall.


    Even Lin Yun was shocked, not having expected Lin Jie would be willing to break the Infinitum Bodhimanda''sws. If they had simply been rebelling, the Infinitum Bodhimanda would only give them a p on the wrist, but this was a wholly different matter. The only reason Lin Jie would do that was that the ebons had already done so, so since he was going to join their side, it would seal the deal and tie them together as partners in crime.


    When the Judgment came, Lin Jie boarded it and told the other council members, "I’ll pave a way for you guys. Go in and take Lin Feng out. Make sure to behead his wives as well!"


    "Got it!"


    With their divine astralship deployed, there was truly no turning back. Lin Yun and the others got going.


    "Hold him back!" Many astral gods and lifebound beasts attempted to face the Judgment, but Lin Jie''s cruelty knew no bounds. He formed the nova source into arge sword ki formation around the sword-shaped ship before ramming ahead without regard to the damage the assault was doing to his own n.


    "Lin Chongyao, based on thews, you have a right to fight back with the Phantavoid!" Lin Xiong yelled, though it was still a little toote as first blood had already been drawn.


    "Yeah!"


    Lifebound beasts and beastmasters could scarcely hold back machines of war like astralships. Only a divine astralship could fight back against another. Lin Yun and the others were standing atop the gigantic sword as it tore away at many astral gods and their beasts that attempted to stop it, shooting toward the defensive formation of the council hall. Blood had been spilled, igniting the rage of all the members of the n! Lin Jie had no support in the slightest. Once his attempt failed, he would no longer be able to stay in the n, so he had no choice but to win!


    The Phantavoid appeared and blocked the Judgment all of a sudden, resulting in a magnificent sh that created a nova source storm and sent many astral gods flying from the sheer turbulence. By then, the thousands who were loyal to Lin Jie had joined the fight. In terms of mass, the Judgment was muchrger than the Phantavoid, so it still managed to pierce the sea near the council hall, despite its course having been diverted.
