Intuition told Lin Yi that Duan Muyu must have her own reasons for doing this. However, it was almost evening, and Duan Muyu still did not say anything special. It seemed that she really just wanted to entertain him alone.
With a stomach full of puzzlement, Lin Yi said goodbye to Duan Muyu and left Ye Ling Sect with Bing Wuqing.
"She seems to have something to say," Bing Wuqing suddenly said.
"Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to want to say it." Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. This matter had troubled him for the whole afternoon. He had been wondering if Duan Muyu had any other difficulties. But after thinking about it carefully, she was already an expert at the peak of the early Gold Elixir realm, and she had powerful external help like himself and Bing Wuqing. Even if Ye Qingcheng wanted to deal with her, he would have to think carefully. Theoretically, there should not be any other difficulties.
Perhaps he had been shocked by the other party's femininity today and was overthinking things.
The two talked as they came to the lakeside. At this time, a huge flying spirit beast suddenly descended from the sky. It was a thorny eagle with blade-like feathers, and an old acquaintance alighted from its back. It was the young master of the Thousand Blades Sect, Ling Tianyou.
"What a coincidence." Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled slightly. Although they were not very close friends, he had a good impression of this super genius. Ling Tianyou could be considered one of the few friends he had in the Immemorial Underworld.
"Haha, this is not a coincidence. I heard that Brother Lin came to Ye Ling Sect, so I specially came here to show my hospitality as a host." Ling Tianyou laughed. He was a little surprised to see Bing Wuqing beside him, but he soon understood. Ordinary people would think of ways to draw a genius like Bing Wuqing to their side, provided that they had the ability to do so. And obviously, Lin Yi had the ability.
"Hospitality as a host? Is your Thousand Blades Sect also nearby? "Lin Yi asked.
"Yes, our two sects' territories are adjacent to each other, so I can be considered half a host here." Ling Tianyou smiled and said, "There happens to be a pavilion here. I've prepared some good wine and delicacies for Brother Lin. Take it as a welcoming dinner for you."
He didn't have any intention of directly inviting Lin Yi to the Thousand Blades Sect. Firstly, their friendship hadn't reached that stage yet. Secondly, he was afraid that if Lin Yi went, it would be difficult for him to usurp the host's position. After all, the current Thousand Blades Sect wasn't the same as before. At the very least, it didn't have a Nascent Soul cultivator to hold the fort.
"Haha, then it would be impolite to refuse." Lin Yi didn't decline, and immediately sat down opposite Ling Tianyou with Bing Wuqing. He didn't dislike Ling Tianyou's tactful way of expressing goodwill.
The three of them sat down, and Ling Tianyou first toasted three times. Although he didn't say any pleasantries, everyone could see the gratitude in his words. Unlike Xue Jianfeng, this super genius of the Thousand Blades School wasn't someone who would bite the hand that fed him.
"I heard about what Brother Lin did in the Blue Cloud Sect of the North Island. What a big move! I believe the whole Archaic Alliance will be in an uproar," Ling Tianyou said.
A Nascent Soul cultivator like Chen Jiu was killed, and the Blue Cloud Sect of the North Island changed. This wasn't a trivial matter for the whole Archaic Underworld. After all, it was a sect of one of the ten small families. It might seem stable in the short term, but the follow-up effects would come soon. It was just that the matter hadn't completely fermented yet.
"Will it?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. Of course, he knew that this kind of thing would cause some disturbance, but he had no idea what kind of external impact it would have. After all, his understanding of the Archaic Alliance was really limited.
"Of course it will. The Blue Cloud Sect of the North Island is one of the ten small families, and is also a main member of the North Island Alliance. It has a lot of influence in the whole Archaic Alliance. Brother Lin, I don't know how many people are watching your sudden appearance, not to mention that this year is so special," Ling Tianyou said with a smile.
"Special? How is it special? "Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Among all the major powers in the Supreme Ancient Underworld, the four great clans and sects stand at the top, while the ten small clans and sects are second to them. These fourteen powers control at least eighty percent of the experts and resources, and they control the fate of the entire Supreme Ancient Underworld. In order to be ranked among them, all the clans and sects are willing to pay any price. And this year is the year of the general election!" Ling Tianyou's eyes shone as he spoke.
"The election year?" Lin Yi had a strange expression. This word made him subconsciously think of the various elections in the secular world, but this was only the system of ordinary society, and was not realistic in the cultivation world where the strong were respected. Could it be that the Archaic Small Underworld also did this?
"Yes, the election of a thousand years. This is a rule set by the Archaic Alliance when it was first established. From the four big families to the ten small families, every position must be re-evaluated, and the strong will be in the top position, while the weak will be eliminated. This is a rare event in the entire Archaic Small Underworld. Brother Lin, haven't you heard of it?" Ling Tianyou said and glanced at Bing Wuqing. Although the latter had now openly joined Lin Yi's team, he would not meddle in other people's business. Even if he knew about the election of a thousand years, he would not care too much, let alone take the initiative to mention it to Lin Yi.
"I really haven't heard of it." Lin Yi shook his head and said doubtfully, "But if I remember correctly, whether it is the four big families or the ten small families, it seems that they are divided according to the number of Yuanying Realm Old Monsters. Is there a need for an election?"
The number of Yuanying Realm Old Monsters in a sect was something obvious. In theory, there was no need for any election at all. The so-called election of a thousand years couldn't just be a formality, right?
"Indeed, but there is also a difference in strength between the Yuanying Realm Old Monsters. Even if there is a Yuanying Realm Old Monster in each sect and they are all in the ten small families, there is still a ranking. The stronger the Yuanying Realm Old Monster, the higher the status of the sect and family they belong to, and the more power they have in various major events. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the election of a thousand years is actually a reshuffle of the top experts of the entire Archaic Small Underworld. Who is strong and who is weak will always be determined," Ling Tianyou explained. (The School Belle has been writing for more than five years.

But today, Murloc's new book, School Belle CEO Relies on Me, will be released! Readers who don't have enough to read can go check out the new book. Thank you for your continued support!)
"According to what you said, the Yuanying Realm Old Monsters of each sect and family will fight with each other?" Lin Yi's interest was piqued.
