Chapter 387: Must Be Killed
The importance of a Demon Fiend to the great powers was self-evident. Flawless Palace’s greatest threat right now was that no Demon Fiend had yet emerged from this generation of disciples.
The other Five Great Forces all had Demon Fiends; only Flawless Palace did not. Lacking a Demon Fiend, Flawless Palace had no advantage whatsoever in the confrontations among the younger generation.
After all, when disciples from the Six Great Forces of the Eastern Domain met in the outside world, a life-or-death battle was inevitable. Moreover, the older generation of experts were not allowed to interfere in such clashes.
The battles between junior disciples could be controlled, but if they escalated to a fight between the older generation, it would very likely turn into an all-out war.
Therefore, with the older generation of experts not intervening, a Demon Fiend represented the strongest combat power. Without a Demon Fiend, Flawless Palace was utterly powerless to fight back in the conflicts of the younger generation.
To put it simply, whenever some ruins or an expert’s legacy appeared, the younger generation of Flawless Palace wouldn’t even dare to go. Without a Demon Fiend to hold the line, they would just be slaughtered if they went. This was the most awkward part of their situation.
And as they were continuously suppressed, if Flawless Palace continued to produce no Demon Fiends, the situation would only grow worse. Eventually, Flawless Palace would face the embarrassing predicament of having no worthy successors.
The youth naturally understood all these stakes, so he could not allow Lin Yun to mature. After all, the combat power Lin Yun had displayed so far had far exceeded his imagination.
In his heart, the youth was already certain that if Lin Yun was given time, he would inevitably become the sixth major Demon Fiend of the Eastern Domain. At that point, Flawless Palace’s situation would change.
The Six Great Forces of the Eastern Domain would once again return to a new balance, a situation the upper echelons of Taiqing Academy were extremely reluctant to see.
