It had to be said that Linghu Renjie gave Duan Lingtian a very good first impression.
For better or worse, this person was the current patriarch of the Linghu family. And, the Linghu family was a Divine Emperor level family. Their background and strength were no weaker than the Hidden Fog Sect and Ten Thousand Demon Sect. For Linghu Renjie to treat him like this was extremely rare.
Of course, he also knew that a large part of the reason why Linghu Renjie was so polite to him was because he had told Linghu Renjie that he could enter the Tianlong Clan through the Linghu family and become a member of the Linghu family.
Just like how the Hidden Fog Sect was divided into many factions, the Tianlong Clan was also divided into many factions.
People from various Divine Emperor level influences that were vassal to the Tianlong Clan had formed factions with people from their original influences. And the reason they did this was not only to better survive in the Tianlong Clan, but also to strive for greater benefits.
Where there were people, there would be struggles.
And when there was a conflict of interest, the stronger side would often obtain the greatest benefits.
He Duan Lingtian joining the Tianlong Clan's Linghu family faction was a good thing for the Linghu family's faction in the Tianjin Clan and the Linghu family.
This was because the value that Duan Lingtian displayed in the Linghu family far surpassed the value that he displayed in the Hidden Fog Sect.
If he returned to the Hidden Fog Sect, then as long as he defeated Long Xiao in broad daylight with his lower God King cultivation, he would become the most important target of the Hidden Fog Sect. In this sort of situation, unless one of the several strongest Highest Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect wanted to deal with him, no one would be able to touch him.
But, he had formed a considerable grudge with Long Xiao and Shangguan Xiongfeng. It could be said that he was on the opposite side of two of the Hidden Fog Sect's four Grand Elders.
If he returned to the Hidden Fog Sect and wanted to live, there was only one path he could take.
Just as Wu Feng suggested, he would become a disciple of one of the other two Grand Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect.
That way, he would be protected.
But now, in the Linghu family, he saw another path to take.
He wouldn't betray the Hidden Fog Sect.
But, if the Hidden Fog Sect couldn't tolerate him, then he could just leave.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Linghu family could provide him with protection.
Otherwise, if he returned to the Hidden Fog Sect, he would either die or become a secret disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect's Elder Cloud or Elder Wu and obtain their protection.
"Patriarch Linghu, I've long heard of your great name."
Duan Lingtian replied politely after he sat down.
"Duan Lingtian."
Linghu Renjie, who was sitting behind Duan Lingtian, smiled. "I like to get straight to the point."
"He has already passed on what you and Yun 'er said to me."
"Then … as long as you can show strength that surpasses the core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect's Elder Thunder, our Linghu family will send a Grand Elder to accompany you back to the Hidden Fog Sect to protect you."
"How about it?"
Linghu Renjie smiled and asked.
"Sure."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He had already guessed this. He needed to show his value in order for the Linghu family to agree to his request.
"Father."
Almost as soon as Duan Ling Tian answered and entered the main hall, a figure had already walked slowly into the main hall from outside. It was a young man with a tall and sturdy figure. He wore green clothes, had a robust appearance, sword-like eyebrows, and a sharp gaze.
"Third Brother!"
When this youth walked in, Linghu Yun, who was sitting beside Duan Lingtian, had already brightened. At the same time, he greeted this person.
"Fourth Brother."
At this time, the youth also saw Linghu Yun. He faintly smiled at him.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian also learned who this person was. He was the third son of the Linghu family's current head, Linghu Renjie, Linghu Jun.
Linghu Jun was also one of Linghu Renjie's sons. He was the one with the highest talent and perception. Before he was 10,000 years old, he was already a middle God King. Moreover, he was stronger than most of the Linghu family's inner elders.
He was also the number one core disciple of the Linghu family.
Among the core disciples of the Linghu family, there were also upper God Kings. But, they weren't his match.
Most importantly:
When Linghu Jun was still a lower God King, he had once fought with a lower God King of the Hidden Fog Sect, Shangguan Xiongfeng. After a hundred moves, he defeated his opponent!
Moreover, Linghu Jun was two thousand years younger than Shangguan Xiongfeng.
Now, many people said that if Linghu Jun wanted to defeat Shangguan Xiongfeng, he wouldn't need a hundred moves.
"Duan Lingtian, this is my useless third son, Linghu Jun."
At this time, Linghu Renjie looked at Duan Lingtian and smiled as he introduced Linghu Jun.
Hearing Linghu Renjie's words, Duan Lingtian's lips twitched. He shook his head and said, "Family Head Linghu, I've already heard of the Third Young Master's reputation. Of the current generation of core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect, no one dares to say they can defeat him.
"In fact, of the current generation of core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect, there might not be anyone who can fight him to a draw."
Shangguan Xiongfeng could be ranked in the top three of the current generation of core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect. According to what Duan Lingtian knew, even the number one ranked person could only suppress Shangguan Xiongfeng. It wasn't enough to defeat him.
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Linghu Renjie's eyes narrowed. His lips curved up in a smile.
After all, no matter how outstanding Linghu Jun was, he was still his son. As a father, he felt proud.
"Duan Lingtian, you understand my third son quite well."
Linghu Renjie smiled and said, "Didn't you say you have the strength to defeat Long Xiao? If you can last 30 moves against my third son, that is enough to prove you have the strength to defeat Long Xiao. "
"How about it?"
Linghu Renjie asked.
"Sure."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He also wanted to experience the methods of this famous Linghu family's Third Young Master.
"Enter my Small World in my body."
As Linghu Renjie spoke, it wasn't just Duan Lingtian and Linghu Jun. Even Linghu Yun followed him into Linghu Renjie's small world. Linghu Renjie planned to have Duan Lingtian and his third son fight in his small world.
As a Divine Emperor powerhouse, Linghu Renjie's small world was so vast that one couldn't see the end of it.
Now, Duan Lingtian, Linghu Jun, and Linghu Yun were standing high in the air above a desert. However, Linghu Yun was quickly pulled far away by an unintentional force. All he could do was watch Duan Lingtian and Linghu Jun from afar.
At this time, Linghu Jun's figure had already flashed far away, facing off against Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, I've long heard of your great name. You are the first Divine Spirit Realm core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years. Many people say that you are the second Xue Haichuan of the Hidden Fog Sect."
Linghu Jun looked at Duan Lingtian, his expression solemn as he spoke.
"The second Xue Haichuan?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I only want to be myself. I don't want to be someone else's shadow."
"You are confident enough."
A rare smile appeared on Linghu Jun's solemn face. "I heard from my father that you have already broken through to the lower God King realm. Moreover, you are confident you can defeat the Hidden Fog Sect's core disciple, Long Xiao.
"That Long Xiao, although I haven't fought him before, I am confident I can defeat him within 10 moves.
"If you want to defeat him, you must have the strength to withstand at least 30 moves from me."
As his voice fell, Linghu Jun's eyes shined with a strong confidence in his own strength.
"Then, please enlighten me."
Duan Lingtian faintly smiled.
Linghu Jun's eyes narrowed as he heard this. Strong winds began to wreak havoc around his body. Bursts of blue astral winds twined around him, making him seem as if he were caught in a fierce and vast hurricane. And with the slightest movement of his body, waves of wind blades appeared, as if they could cut through all things.
It was clear that Linghu Jun excelled in the Wind Laws.
Even though Duan Lingtian had already become a lower God King and his strength was incomparable to the past, he still felt waves of pressure from Linghu Jun's body. "This Linghu Jun, even if he hasn't comprehended the fusion of four profound meanings of the Wind Laws, he must have grasped the fusion of three profound meanings of the Wind Laws."
"Moreover, the strength of his bloodline shouldn't be underestimated."
"Otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Shangguan Xiongfeng."
Although Duan Lingtian hadn't fought Shangguan Xiongfeng before, he still had a certain understanding of Shangguan Xiongfeng's strength.
For Linghu Jun to be able to defeat Shangguan Xiongfeng despite being two thousand years younger than him, one could only imagine his talent, comprehension, and strength.
Of course, despite feeling the pressure, Duan Lingtian was not afraid at all.
Around Duan Lingtian, waves of spatial storms raged as if they could shatter the void. Sharp spatial blades could be vaguely seen in the surroundings, swaying in the void. It seemed as if they could cut the void at any time.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
…
Accompanied by the sound of a saber ringing, nine spatial rifts appeared in the void. The Dimensional Slash shot out from behind the spatial rifts, revealing a sharp aura that caused people to shudder in fear.
"Father, do you think … Duan Lingtian can withstand 30 moves from Third Brother?"
Linghu Yun asked in a low voice.
Although his father, Linghu Renjie, was not by his side, this was his father, Linghu Renjie's Little World. Therefore, even if he spoke in a low voice, his father, Linghu Renjie, could still hear him clearly.
"If he's not boasting, then it should be fine."
Linghu Renjie sent a Voice Transmission to Linghu Yun. "Moreover, although this is the first time we've met, based on the confidence he's showing, I can't help but believe his words … He shouldn't be boasting."
As soon as Linghu Renjie finished speaking, Linghu Jun had already made his move.
As someone who specialized in the law of wind, Linghu Jun was best at speed and offense. He was not good at defense. As soon as he made his move, he attacked like a storm toward Duan Lingtian.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
…
In the face of the overwhelming wind blades and the threads that seemed capable of cutting through anything, Duan Lingtian took his time to mobilize the energy of the law of space to form a layer of defense around him.
As soon as his defense shattered, his figure swayed and disappeared from where he was standing.
