There is only one way to make this madman quiet down, and that is to let someone stronger suppress him.

However, their aristocratic faction did not have such a person.

At this time, Irwin said: "Cardinal Canaan, you are wrong in this matter first. Considering that Tian Yi has already launched a counterattack against you, let's forget about it.

Tian Yi, is it okay?

Tian Yi smiled and waved his hand, dispersing the sword shadow.

Cardinal Canaan also returned to human form. He covered his bleeding arm, his face gloomy and silent.

Tian Yi said with a smile: "Cardinal Canaan, do you think that I can't do anything to you because you are clean?

Don't forget, you have a family. Your wife is restless. Do you know what she usually does?

If you don't want your family to be destroyed, it's best to deal with it as soon as possible.

Well, this is not a threat, but a friendly reminder."

After saying this, he ignored Cardinal Canaan's drastic change in expression and directly signaled Earl Chawert to continue.

Earl Chavot swallowed his saliva and continued the meeting with a stiff upper lip. "The second proposal is on hold. Now comes the third proposal. Several church leaders and nobles have suggested that the trend of cities surrounding the Holy City building networks should be curbed as soon as possible.

Is there any objection to this proposal?"

Tian Yi sat up straight and looked at Earl Chawert. "Host, could you please rephrase the question? For example, 'Are there any of you present who agree?'"

Tian Yi scanned the room. "Come, let me see who these 'several church leaders and nobles' are."

Chapter 186: All-round Suppression

A meeting that brought together almost all the top leaders of the Holy City lasted less than an hour.

When the meeting was over, the clear sky outside became overcast.

It was exactly like the mood of the nobles when they walked out of the venue.

The whole place was silent.

All the nobles forgot about elegance at this moment. They lowered their heads and left the venue silently with unconcealable frustration and humiliation.

Tian Yi watched quietly until all the people with negative emotions left, then he said:

"In fact, many of them have never done anything wrong and don't need to be afraid of me. Now it seems that they are all in this together."

Flora (Saint of Chains) said, "The reason is actually very simple. Before this meeting, those people did not commit any crimes because they did not need to.

After this meeting, they really couldn't commit any crimes.

"Master Tian Yi, they are frustrated that their privileges have been taken away by you."

Tian Yi looked at her and asked, "How do you feel?"

Flora said sincerely, "It's very refreshing."

She was born into a commoner family, and even though she had become a formal saint, she was still inferior in the eyes of the nobles.

For example, this meeting,

Although the power of a formal saint is not as great as that of a cardinal, their status in the church is almost the same, and it is reasonable that they should be arranged in the main seat.

Even if we accept the principle that "a little lower is still lower", we should still place the two official saints in the second place.

But the actual situation was that the aristocratic Ilenia (the "Judgement" Saint) was arranged in the main seat, and Flora was arranged in the second seat.

This is obviously an attempt to suppress Flora, or to distinguish between nobles and commoners in public.

"After today, a lot of things will become easier."

Tian Yi said: "The policies that were not implemented before can now be implemented freely."

Hearing this, Ilanya asked cautiously, "Will this high-pressure rule force them to a desperate situation?"

"will not."

Tian Yi said, "As long as they can't do anything to me, I have to keep holding it in."

Will the nobles be unable to do anything to you?

When Ilaniya's question came to her lips, she suddenly remembered,

This boy, who is younger than her, has already reached the Golden Core Stage.

A Jindan stage cultivator can live for 1200 years, which is 200 years longer than her, a Fa Yi cultivator.

This is just his one-year achievement. When this guy reaches the Nascent Soul stage, that will be 3000 years. Even Fa San will not be able to survive him.

The nobles couldn't even outlast this man.

I haven't lived as long as him, nor am I as strong as him. Even if I want to plot something, I can't hide it from his divination.

Faced with this all-round suppression, what can the nobles use to fight him?

Realizing this, Ilanya sighed, "I never thought that this country would change because of one person."

"This is what absolute violence does."

Kotlia asked Belluneel, "So, can you defeat Tian Yi now?"

Bellunelle was stunned for a moment, then she asked, "Why should I be able to beat him?"

Kotlia: "...I mean, has Tian Yi's combat power reached the third level?"

Belluneel asked Mukaida Oto: "Has your combat power reached the third level?"

Kotlia: “…”

Tian Yi smiled and said, "Definitely not. In fact, even if it's Fa Er, I can probably only fight him one on one. If two of them come together, I'll probably have to run away."

No one present believed what he said.

Except Bellunelle,

She patted Tian Yi's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Tian Yi nodded.

……

……

Siegel's family,

Count Siegel was excited when he went out.

Count Siegel was desperate when he returned home.

Yes, despair.

Even Ruth Siegel, who had anticipated the result, was a little surprised when she saw his gloomy face.

Because in her opinion, today's meeting was at most a failure to check and balance Tian Yi.

As long as they still have two saints in their hands, there is still hope for a comeback.

But now——

"The sky is falling."

Count Siegel sat down wearily. He said, "Tian Yi has gone too far. We can't resist him."

"What did he do again?"

Ruth asked, frowning.

Count Siegel said: "He trampled all of our faces under his feet, and he killed anyone who resisted him and produced evidence of the person's crime.

Even Cardinal Canaan was injured on the spot simply because of an inappropriate name, and Cardinal Canaan himself didn't dare to fart.

Just by listening, Ruth could already imagine what kind of scene it was.

only--

She asked in confusion, "Even so, don't we still have saints? Why do you seem to have lost all hope?"

Count Siegel sighed, "Because after today, many people who originally stood on our side will probably turn against us.

There will be no more obstacles to the reforms of the reformists.

Our saints need time to grow. By the time they are able to fight against Tian Yi, it will be too late."

It turned out to be the case.

Ruth's eyes flashed with reluctance, and she said, "Since you can't resist, just accept it."

Count Siegel looked at her in surprise: "I thought you would feel worse than me."

...Because I've been warned in advance.

Ruth didn't say this out loud, but stood up and said, "I'll go see Sylve."

"and many more."

Count Siegel seemed to remember something and asked, "Tina and Yas have always had a good relationship, right?"

Ruth's expression changed slightly: "Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

Count Siegel waved his hand and said, "No matter how unreasonable the Pope's representative is, he wouldn't wipe out our Siegel family just because of a little girl who ran away for love."

Ruth reminded: "And Tian Yi, your little tricks won't work on him."

Count Siegel was silent for a moment. He said, "I'm just helping my daughter pursue love. Isn't that a crime?"

Ruth still disagreed with his decision: "You should ask Tian Yi."

Count Siegel said, "Leave a way out. You should know that if we lose our privileges, it's only a matter of time before we fall."

Ruth stopped talking.

Why did the aristocracy want to hinder reform?

The biggest reason is that innovation will cause them to lose their privileges.

If they lose their privileges, they will no longer be able to monopolize those profitable industries and restrict others from competing with them.

They despise civilians, but they also know that the two groups are essentially the same.

If both parties compete on the same level, the winner in the end will only be the more capable one.

Nobles are not necessarily more capable than commoners.

They demean and restrict the common people precisely because they want to deny that the common people can be better than themselves.

Ruth left without a word.

Count Siegel also lay on the sofa in silence, as if all his strength had been drained away.

……

……

Siegel's backyard.

When Ruth arrived at Sylph's yard, she saw the closed door and Tina standing outside the door with a look of grievance on her face.

She asked, "What's going on?"

Tina lowered her head and said nothing, but her face was full of sadness and helplessness.

It was almost like saying that Sylph was bullying her.

Ruth did not ask the reason as Tina expected, but asked: "Tina, if you want to stand out in this family, there is only one way to go."

Tina was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the head of the family in front of her was testing her or really giving her advice.

Ruth didn't care about Tina's defense. She continued, "Although I don't know why Sylve wants to cut ties with you, I'm sure you can see that once something happens, it can't be undone."

Tina still kept her head down.

Ruth stared at her. "If you want to change, go find Yas. Do you remember his last name?"

Last name?

A look of confusion flashed across Tina's face.

She remembered Yas, and also remembered that he was her fiancé. They had a very good relationship, but she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her fiancé's last name.
