480: Section 480

Lin Yi walked over and said without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the Second Senior Brother's expression stiffened, and he looked up at him.

"Everything that happened in Longhu City was orchestrated by the Senior Brother and these Men in Black. He wanted to replace Master and take control of Longhu Mountain; many of our fellow Disciples have fallen victim to them!"

"If I hadn't come out of seclusion in time, I fear Senior Brother Zhong Yan would have also met a tragic end!"

"Now, these Men in Black have already infiltrated Longhu City!"

"Fortunately, Longhu Mountain is peaceful now, and all those Men in Black have been expelled!"

"Second Senior Brother, let me take you back first!"

After Lin Yi explained everything in a few words, the Second Senior Brother finally understood what was going on and why Wang Yong was with those Men in Black.

However, he still found it hard to comprehend the Senior Brother's betrayal of the sect.

All this time, the Senior Brother had been humble and treated his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters with genuine care. Often, he truly lived up to the title of Senior Brother. How could he betray the sect? Why would he do such a thing?

Although the Second Senior Brother didn't understand his motives, just as Lin Yi helped him stand up, he hurriedly added: "By the way, Third Senior Brother and Junior Senior Sister also went out for Monster Hunting just like me. I was besieged by these Men in Black; could they also..."

Lin Yi smiled: "Second Senior Brother, don't worry. Before I came to save you, I already had them return to the mountain. Now that the Senior Brother is dead and Senior Brother Zhong Yan is seriously injured, there is no one in charge on the mountain!"

"With the two of them there, even if those Men in Black dare to cause trouble, they will have to think twice!"

Hearing Lin Yi say this, the Second Senior Brother finally felt relieved.

Lin Yi looked at the Little Daoists again. They had long since lost all signs of life; there were no survivors.

The Second Senior Brother sighed and shook his head, his eyes turning slightly red. Those people were all his Disciples. This time, they had followed him down the mountain for Monster Hunting and had made many contributions. Who would have thought that instead of being killed by Yao Beasts, they would be ambushed by their own fellow Disciples?

"Wait a moment, I will take them with me!"

The Second Senior Brother walked up to the Disciples, took out a jade pendant, and then stored their bodies inside it. It turned out to be a storage Magical Artifact, which was an eye-opener for Lin Yi.

After the area was cleared, Lin Yi took the Second Senior Brother and headed back to Longhu Mountain.

The sky was just beginning to brighten. Longhu Mountain and Longhu University had finally returned to their former peace.

That night, the Disciples on the mountain suffered heavy losses and massive casualties. Injured people could be seen everywhere. Even the students of Longhu University were not spared. Fortunately, Lin Yi stepped in just in time to prevent the situation from worsening, allowing Longhu Mountain to overcome the crisis.

"The two Senior Brothers should rest well and not worry about matters on the mountain!"

Lin Yi looked at the Second Senior Brother Zhao Gang and Senior Brother Zhong Yan. After whispering a few words to them, both nodded: "You don't need to worry about us; go and attend to your own business!" "With your Third Senior Brother and Junior Senior Sister on the mountain, those Men in Black won't dare to cause trouble!"

Senior Brother Zhong Yan seemed to discern Lin Yi's thoughts. He also understood that it was unrealistic to keep Lin Yi stationed at Longhu Mountain. Lin Yi was not like them; they had grown up here, and all their friends and fellow Disciples were on Longhu Mountain, so wherever they went, it was the same. But Lin Yi was different; his friends were outside, and the people he cared about were not on the mountain. Now that these Men in Black had appeared so strangely and had even managed to infiltrate Longhu Mountain, it went without saying that other places were even more at risk. How could Lin Yi not worry about his friends? Therefore, Zhong Yan did not intend to force him to stay on the mountain.

Besides, after a night of recovery, his current injuries had already improved somewhat. Although he could not yet return to his peak, given a few days, he would definitely be able to fully recover. During these few days, with the Second Senior Brother and Junior Sister there, there wouldn't be any trouble on Longhu Mountain.

The Second Senior Brother also nodded: "Your Senior Brother Zhong Yan is right. You don't need to worry about us; just go and do what you need to do!"

Seeing that both Senior Brothers were so understanding, Lin Yi nodded: "Once things are settled over there, I will come back immediately!"

The two Senior Brothers smiled, and Lin Yi then bid them farewell and left.

Subsequently, he found the Third Senior Brother and Junior Senior Sister and told them about his plan to leave. As it turned out, both of them were very supportive and said: "Second Senior Brother is right. Go and attend to your own business. These Men in Black are all coming with ill intent!" "If they dare to target Longhu Mountain, other places are likely in danger too!" Junior Senior Sister added with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded, bid them farewell, and left the area.

Watching his departing figure, Junior Senior Sister said with some envy: "Junior Brother is so young, yet he possesses such cultivation. His future is truly limitless!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Senior Brother glanced at her: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" "Instead, I am more worried for him. These Men in Black have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, emerging overnight!" "And they have infiltrated various cities in the New District, casting a crisis over the entire New District!" "If it weren't for Junior Brother, Longhu Mountain would have likely already been controlled by them!" "And I feel that this is just the beginning!" "First it was those Yao Beasts, then these Men in Black. The person playing this game is likely already unable to restrain themselves!"

"Junior Sister, before Master returns, and before Second Senior Brother and Senior Brother Zhong Yan recover, Longhu Mountain can only rely on the two of us!"

Junior Senior Sister nodded: "I will guard Longhu University, and you can take charge of the mountain!" "Keep communication open; once any situation is discovered, contact each other immediately!" "Hmm, that's the only way!"

After the two finished discussing, they each headed towards the areas they were responsible for.

Lin Yi sat in a taxi, heading straight for Songshan City. Inside the car, Lin Yi held his phone and kept scrolling through news from various cities in the New District over the past two months.

To his surprise, the New District was already in chaos. The captains of the Monster Hunting Teams in over a dozen cities had been attacked. Among them, seven or eight Monster Hunting Squads had been completely wiped out. Furthermore, even the Martial Suppression Bureau had been attacked by Yao Beasts and Men in Black. Various departments had suffered heavy losses of varying degrees. This caused Lin Yi's brow to furrow deeply.

No one could explain where these Men in Black had popped up from. Overnight, just like those Yao Beasts, they appeared in every city of the New District. Some small clans were the first to be attacked by them. After that, it was the various departments, and now they seemed to be targeting the various Martial Arts Universities. Longhu Mountain was an example.

Apart from Longhu Mountain, places like Xingwu University, Lanshan University, and Martial Alliance University were still safe. But just last night, the other two ordinary Martial Arts Universities were also attacked. The students in the schools suffered heavy casualties. These Men in Black were completely bent on killing; they were like a pack of lunatics.
