Zhong Family Mansion.
Although night had fallen, the Zhong Family's meeting hall was still brightly lit. The high level members of the Zhong Family, led by the Zhong Family's Third Master Zhong San and Fourth Master Zhong Si, had gathered together.
The names of the Zhong Family's head and brothers had always been the focus of discussion in Skywind City.
The Chong Family's Patriarch was also the eldest brother of the Chong Family's direct descendants. His name was Chong Chong. As for his second brother, he was Chong Chong Qi's father. His name was Chong Er. Below him were Chong San and Chong Si. There was also a fifth sister named Chong Wu. However, she had changed her name when she grew older and was now married to an inner sect elder of the Hidden Fog Sect.
The inner sect elder of the Hidden Fog Sect didn't have a high status in the Hidden Fog Sect, but he had a good father. He was the Grand Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, a God Emperor level powerhouse.
Because of this, the Zhong Family's Fifth Master, Zhong Wu, was the Zhong Family's biggest trump card.
Although the Zhong Family had many people with high status in the Hidden Fog Sect, their status was far inferior to Zhong Wu's husband, let alone the Grand Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, a God Emperor level powerhouse.
"You should have heard the news, right?"
Zhong San and Zhong Si sat on either side of the main seat. Zhong San looked gloomily at the high level members of the Zhong Family and asked in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded.
"Big Brother and Second Brother aren't around because they're out. However, they've already received the news. Their intention is to try our best to rope in that young man called Duan Ling Tian. If we can't use him, we'll destroy him!"
Zhong San said.
Hearing Zhong San's words, everyone was a little surprised. They thought they would directly target that new student named Duan Lingtian, but they didn't expect the Zhong Family's head and Second Master to give him a chance.
"I'm afraid it's not possible for him to be used by us."
Zhong Si shook his head and said, "That child Qi Qi sent me a message and described that Duan Lingtian. Coupled with the news from the Hidden Fog Academy … that Duan Lingtian is obviously a very arrogant person."
"Coupled with the other God King level families, they definitely won't miss the chance to win him over. Also, that child Qi Qi threatened him. Combining all these factors, it will be harder than ascending to the heavens for our Zhong Family to win him over.
Chong Si voiced his guess.
Chong Si was Chong Si of the Chong Clan. Half a month ago, he and Duan Lingtian competed for the Jia, Yi, and Bing San Divine Pellet at the Zhou Clan's auction. In the end, Duan Lingtian won the San Divine Pellet, so he hated Duan Lingtian.
However, when he saw the strength of Yu Qiuxuan, who was by Duan Lingtian's side, and the identity of Duan Qiaoyu, Chong Si didn't dare to have any thoughts of revenge.
Of course, Chong Si didn't know that the person who had competed with him for the Jia, Yi, and Bing San Divine Pills at the Zhou Family's auction half a month ago was the new student of the Hidden Fog Academy, Duan Lingtian.
"No matter what, we have to try … If he doesn't know what's good for him, we can only think of a way to destroy him!"
Chong San said in a deep voice, "According to the rumors, Duan Lingtian's talent and comprehension are good. It's almost certain that he will be favored by the Hidden Fog Academy's Dean, Murong Suifeng … Now, we can only hope that Murong Suifeng has no intention of accepting him as a disciple. If he does, we can't touch him anymore."
"Murong Suifeng is a madman who is famous for being protective of his disciples!"
"Back then, one of his disciples was killed by a Divine King from a Divine King level bandit force. He spent a hundred years hunting down the remnants of that Divine King level bandit force and exterminating all of them, cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots … It's best not to provoke such a person if possible."
…
Chong San's words caused the expressions of the Chong Clan's upper echelons to become serious.
"This shouldn't be the case."
Chong Si shook his head and said, "According to what I know, Dean Murong once said that he wouldn't accept any more disciples after his disciple died … This matter came from the Hidden Fog Sect, so it shouldn't be fake."
"I've also heard of this matter."
A Chong Clan elder nodded. "It's said that because of this matter, he took the initiative to come to Tianfeng City and assume the position of Dean of the Hidden Fog Academy … He left the Hidden Fog Sect because he wanted a change of environment. There were too many memories of him and his only disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect, so he didn't want to be sad."
"Normally speaking, with that Headmaster Murong's character of keeping his word, he shouldn't have betrayed the promise he made back then. That promise could be considered a promise to his only disciple who died. "
As Chong Si and this Chong Clan elder spoke one after another, the others nodded. "I hope it's true."
In Tianfeng City, even in the Hidden Fog Academy, there weren't many people who could make their Chong Clan afraid. Dean Murong Suifeng was one of them … However, as long as he didn't accept Duan Lingtian as a disciple, even if they killed Duan Lingtian, Murong Suifeng wouldn't be able to do anything without evidence.
Even if there was evidence, they could just push a scapegoat out.
At the same time.
Several other God King level families in Tianfeng City, including the Zhou Clan, were also holding a meeting. The content of the meeting also revolved around the new student of the Hidden Fog Academy, Duan Lingtian.
"Strive to win over that Duan Lingtian and have him work for our family … such a genius, even if he enters the Hidden Fog Sect in the future, he will surely have great achievements."
"As long as he is willing to join our family … he can set any conditions he wants!"
…
It was obvious that the few Godly King clans were determined to obtain Duan Ling Tian.
And the reason their reactions were so great was because of the talent and perception Duan Lingtian had displayed so far … he wasn't even 2800 years old and he had already comprehended one of the four supreme Laws, the fusion of three profound meanings of the Space Law. In addition, he had a middle God Realm cultivation. Even if placed in the Hidden Fog Sect, he would be a top genius!
The most outstanding existence of the Hidden Fog Sect's younger generation would have the same achievements as him at his age.
And that person had already been designated as the successor of the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master, the next Sect Master.
While Tianfeng City was in an uproar because of Duan Lingtian, the Hidden Fog Academy had calmed down after the commotion.
However, in the depths of the Hidden Fog Academy, there was a figure leaning against the roof of the building. He held a wine jar in his hand and poured wine into his mouth, one mouthful after another, as if he didn't know when to stop.
This was a middle-aged man wearing an elegant white robe. He had a handsome appearance, but because his long hair was broken, he looked a little sloppy.
He was the Dean of the Hidden Fog Academy, Murong Suifeng.
"Quan 'er, a very outstanding genius entered the academy today. On the first day he entered the academy, he was recognized by the entire academy as the number one student … he is really outstanding, even more outstanding than you."
"If you were still here, Master would have accepted him as a disciple and made him your junior apprentice brother."
"Since you are no longer here, Master made a promise to you that he wouldn't accept another disciple … so even if Elder Yun Hui persuaded me, I didn't plan on accepting him as a disciple."
"This kind of genius … let's wait for him to go to the sect and let those old fellows fight for him."
"Maybe, we don't need to wait for him to go to the sect … it won't be long before those old fellows receive the news and send people to rope him in. They want to accept him as a disciple in advance."
…
Behind the Hidden Fog Academy was the Hidden Fog Sect.
Murong Suifeng was in charge of everything in the Hidden Fog Academy.
There were also rules in the Hidden Fog Academy:
Every student, no matter how outstanding they were, had to be at least 3000 years old before they could enter the Hidden Fog Sect and become a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.
During this process, even if someone in the Hidden Fog Sect wanted to take a student as a disciple, they couldn't personally come over to avoid affecting the student's cultivation.
However, although there were rules, some people still found a way to take advantage of this loophole.
For example, they sent people to persuade them.
In the history of the Hidden Fog Academy, there were many examples like this.
"Dong Dong"
Ever since he obtained the high-grade dormitory in the 10-star student dormitory, Duan Ling Tian had immersed himself in his room to cultivate. His ears didn't pay attention to what was happening outside, and no one disturbed him as well. After an unknown amount of time had passed, a wave of loud and clear knocking on the door sounded from outside, like the beating of a drum. Only then did he wake up.
However, when he woke up, he couldn't help but frown. At the same time, his complexion didn't look too good.
After all, no matter who it was, they wouldn't be happy to be disturbed like this.
"Now … it's not time for the academy to hold a trial for the 10-star students, right?"
The Hidden Fog Academy had a trial for the students of each star rank. It would be held once in a while to allow the students of the Hidden Fog Academy to improve their combat ability. The trial was usually held in the wild mountains outside Tianfeng City, where monster beasts were everywhere.
According to what Duan Lingtian knew, the last trial for the 10-star students of the Hidden Fog Academy had just ended not long ago. It wouldn't be so soon for the next one.
"Creak"
When Duan Ling Tian opened the door to his room, he saw two figures standing in the sky outside the courtyard door and looking down at him.
The person in the lead was dressed in a long greenish-brown robe. He had a tall figure, a handsome face, and sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples. He looked to be around 30 years old. At this moment, his gaze was like lightning as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who was walking out of the room slowly. "You're Duan Ling Tian?"
The blue-robed youth spoke, his tone indifferent and condescending.
"What's the matter?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at the blue-robed youth and asked.
The blue-robed youth glanced at Duan Lingtian. His tone was still indifferent. "I am an inner sect disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, Tu Feng. My master, the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, wishes to accept you as a disciple. When you reach the age and enter the sect, use this soul bead to contact me. I will take you to see my master. "
As soon as Tu Feng's voice fell, he casually threw a soul bead towards Duan Lingtian.
However, just as the soul bead arrived in front of Duan Lingtian, it was pushed back by Duan Lingtian. "No need … even if I enter the Hidden Fog Sect, I, Duan Lingtian, don't plan on taking anyone as my master."
"However, I still have to thank the second elder for his kindness."
