Yu Taicang and Chu youding's spirits were restrained by Lin Yi's soul-seizing hand. If Xue Jianfeng hadn't taken them away, perhaps Lin Yi could've released their spirits. But now, even if Lin Yi released his spirits, they wouldn't be of much use without a body nearby.
A body without a spirit, on the other hand, would die for real soon. This was different from Lin Yi's original body-he used the projection of his spirit, which was fundamentally different from holding it by force. Otherwise, Lin Yi's body on Sky Class Island would've died long ago.
He turned to the people of the Chu clan and said,"since you've all agreed to let Chu Tianlu be the young clan head, then all the matters of the Chu clan will be decided by him in the future. Is that okay?"
The Chu family, of course, didn't have any problems with it, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. Lin Yi didn't show any bloodied or brutal moves, but the pressure he gave off was one level higher.
