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 clan!"

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

"All of you are insane! Nothing good will come of this today!"

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

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 plan. Fortunately, they had still moved quickly enough. If they had been just a little bit later, 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 in combat formation and had nearly a hundred thousand lifebound beasts deployed, all of them burning with fighting spirit.
