"Brother Duan."
Seeing Duan Lingtian again after more than ten years, Xue Haichuan's face was full of smiles. "After more than ten years, you look even better than before!"
The last time Xue Haichuan saw Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian was only a Low Divine King. Now, he was a Mid Divine King. Before and after a breakthrough, one's appearance wouldn't change much, but their temperament would.
Although their temperament wouldn't change much, Xue Haichuan could tell the difference with his eyesight.
"Brother Haichuan, you two chat first. I still have to preside over the inner sect disciple entrance exam."
Dongfang Yannian said to Xue Haichuan with a smile.
On the way, he had been communicating with Xue Haichuan, so when he arrived with Duan Lingtian, Xue Haichuan came out to welcome them.
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Dongfang."
Xue Haichuan thanked him repeatedly. Duan Lingtian also thanked him. "Sorry to trouble you, Elder Dongfang."
"I'll meet you two later."
Dongfang Yannian nodded at the two, then turned and left.
Under Xue Haichuan's welcome, Duan Lingtian entered the pavilion in the front yard of the courtyard where he cultivated.
There was a wooden table in the pavilion. Under Xue Haichuan's greeting, Duan Lingtian sat opposite him.
"Brother Haichuan, where's Big Brother Haishan?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile.
He still remembered that the last time he saw Xue Haichuan and Xue Haishan was in Linghu City. At that time, the three of them drank together, and Xue Haishan was dead drunk.
"My big brother has been cultivating in seclusion for more than ten years."
Xue Haichuan shook his head.
"It seems that Brother Haichuan's current strength has stimulated Big Brother Haishan."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile. It wasn't difficult for him to guess Xue Haishan's thoughts.
Duan Lingtian knew that his younger brother, who used to be on the same level as him, was now a mid-level Deity Emperor and the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan … If he were Xue Haishan, he would definitely be shocked and work even harder to catch up with his younger brother, Xue Haichuan.
Xue Haichuan sighed, "Big Brother has wasted ten thousand years in the Heaven Stairway Prison … Now that he's out and given ten thousand years, his achievements will definitely not be below mine."
"Speaking of which, it's really unfortunate … If I had joined the Tianlong Clan a little later, maybe my big brother wouldn't have to go to the Stairway to Heaven Prison."
As he finished speaking, Xue Haichuan couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. Obviously, he was extremely concerned about this.
At this time, Duan Lingtian intentionally changed the topic. "I heard that the reason Big Brother Haishan was imprisoned in the Stairway to Heaven was because he stood up for Big Brother Haichuan and killed the only son of the Hidden Fog Sect's former Sect Master?"
"Yes."
Xue Haichuan nodded and then said with a dignified expression, "The former Sect Master wanted to sentence my big brother to death … However, at that time, my big brother had a reason to act. In addition, our Master has a good relationship with the various Martial Uncles and Martial Uncles. In consideration of the former Sect Master's only son's recklessness, they voted to sentence my big brother to the Stairway to Heaven Stairway Prison for ten thousand years."
"The former Sect Master, I heard that he later joined the Myriad Demon Sect and came to the Tianlong Clan?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed.
"Yes."
Xue Haichuan nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "He's in the Tianlong Clan and is also an Elder of the White Dragon Clan."
"But now, he can't do anything to me."
When Xue Haichuan said this, his tone was full of confidence.
In the past, he wasn't even a match for the former Sect Master's son. Now, he even had the strength to not fear the latter!
"Big Brother Haishan came to the Tianlong Clan. I'm afraid he has some ideas, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"Of course."
Xue Haichuan nodded. "Ever since I brought my big brother back to the Tianlong Clan, he hasn't had a moment of peace … but as long as my big brother doesn't leave my side, he won't be able to touch him."
"We still have to be careful."
Duan Lingtian said with a dignified expression, "As the saying goes, even a dog can jump over a wall in desperation, let alone a man … if he's really stubborn, I fear the Tianlong Clan's rules won't be able to restrain him."
In the past, Xue Haishan had killed the Hidden Fog Sect's former Sect Master's only son. For the sake of his only son's death, the Hidden Fog Sect's former Sect Master might be willing to do anything.
"I understand."
Xue Haichuan nodded. "I won't let my big brother leave my sight."
"He won't have a chance."
As his voice fell, a cold light flashed in Xue Haichuan's eyes.
In fact, in these past years, the reason he was able to smoothly grow to where he was today was because every step he took was difficult. Although the Hidden Fog Sect's former Sect Master didn't hate him as much as he hated his big brother Xue Haishan, he had never stopped targeting him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't the one who killed the former Sect Master's only son, he wouldn't have lived for more than a few days.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
After a while, Xue Haichuan took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Let's take a look at the inner sect disciple entrance exam this time and see who's the strongest."
"These people will be your opponents in the upcoming Hidden Dragon Competition."
As Xue Haichuan raised his hand and waved it in the air, a mirror image appeared in front of Duan Lingtian's eyes like a movie.
What appeared in front of Duan Lingtian's eyes was the image of Hou Qingning and the others participating in the inner sect disciple entrance exam. Now, everyone was in a different independent space and faced three different levels of exam.
The exam was the same, but the difficulty was different.
The difficulty was also based on age.
For example, the core disciple of the Thousand Demon Sect, Du Pojun, was a young genius between eight thousand and ten thousand years old. His exam was the most difficult of the three.
Then, it was the young lord of the Donghua Clan, Hua Tiandu, and the core disciple of the Thousand Demon Sect, Du Qianjun. As young geniuses between five thousand and eight thousand years old, their exam was of medium difficulty.
As for Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue, their exam was the simplest.
However, even if it was the simplest exam, with their abilities, it would still be difficult for them to deal with it until the end.
"Junior Brother Duan, that youth and that girl are your friends?"
Xue Haichuan also noticed that Duan Lingtian often looked at Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "His name is Hou Qingning. As for that girl, she is the third daughter of the Murong family, Murong Yinyue."
"They are my friends."
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Xue Haichuan smiled slightly. "Since that's the case, I'll ask Senior Brother Dongfang to take care of them … as long as they aren't too weak, passing the inner sect exam shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing Xue Haichuan's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up.
That's right.
Dongfang Yannian was this Brother Haichuan's good friend.
With one word from him, even if Dongfang Yannian couldn't take care of Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue, he would definitely be able to take care of them appropriately.
This way, the chances of the two passing the inner sect exam would be even higher.
Not long after Xue Haichuan finished speaking, Duan Lingtian discovered that the exam for Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue had changed.
Of course, this was because he was mentally prepared, and his gaze had always been on the two of them.
Otherwise, such a subtle change would have been difficult to detect.
"Senior Brother Dongfang is only the person in charge of the inner sect exam. There are also other people in charge of the outer sect exam. At the same time, there is also a black dragon elder who is the overall person in charge … "
Following Xue Haichuan's explanation, Duan Lingtian also understood.
Although Dongfang Yannian was the person in charge of the Tianlong Clan's inner sect exam, the process of the exam still had to be recorded in the Floating Image Pearl and reviewed by the overall person in charge. If it wasn't too exaggerated, then it wouldn't matter if the person in charge just closed his eyes.
If it was too exaggerated, then Dongfang Yannian would definitely be held accountable.
As for himself, with his performance in the selection, even if everyone knew that he was exempted from the inner sect exam, no one would say anything.
In fact, the overall person in charge, the black dragon elder, might even praise Dongfang Yannian for being flexible.
"Thank you, Brother Haichuan."
Duan Lingtian repeatedly expressed his thanks to Xue Haichuan.
As for Xue Haichuan, he merely waved his hand and smiled, "Compared to the kindness you have shown my big brother, this small matter is nothing."
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Xue Haichuan's expression turned solemn, "Brother Duan, when you enter the Tianlong Clan this time, you must be careful of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect's inner sect elder, Kuang Tianzheng.
"The current Kuang Tianzheng is completely different from the Kuang Tianzheng who went to the Linghu family to look for you in the past.
"Because his second disciple married Vice Sect Master Xue's daughter, he can now be considered one of Vice Sect Master Xue's people.
"In the last 20 years, even the Ten Thousand Demon Sect's bloodline has risen along with his rise in status. They seem to be able to suppress our Hidden Fog Sect."
As Xue Haichuan spoke to here, he added, "Of course, even if he is one of Vice Sect Master Xue's people, he won't dare to rashly make a move against you within the sect. At most, he will think of ways to make things difficult for you … if he wants to kill you within the sect, he can only do so if he challenges you to a life or death battle. However, you can choose not to accept that kind of life or death battle.
"Apart from that, as long as you don't leave the sect, he won't be able to do anything to you.
"If you want to go out, just let me know. I will find someone to go with you … it's also because I have to stay behind to look after my big brother. Otherwise, I would have gone with you. “
Xue Haichuan said.
"Thank you for Brother Haichuan's reminder. I will remember it."
Duan Lingtian smiled and nodded. At the same time, he was a bit more vigilant in his heart.
Xue Haichuan smiled and said, "I almost forgot. You are no longer a member of our Hidden Fog Sect … with your status in the Linghu family, once you enter the Tianlong Clan, you will definitely be valued by the Linghu family.
"The powerhouses of the Linghu family will definitely be willing to shelter you."
Xue Haichuan's words reminded Duan Lingtian of how the Linghu family's Patriarch, Linghu Renjie, had been removed from his position as Patriarch because of him. He sighed inwardly.
Although he could understand the actions of the Linghu family's Elder Council, if he could enter the Tianlong Clan, he didn't want to owe a favor to anyone in the Linghu family.
Of course, he wasn't worried about not being able to repay the favor. Rather, he was worried about being a burden to others.
For example, Linghu Renjie was removed from his position as Patriarch of the Linghu family because of him. He needed to complete the agreement with the Linghu family's Elder Council within a hundred years before Linghu Renjie could return to his position as Patriarch.
