"Honorable Master, don't worry."
Zhong Can said, "I will not let my little junior-apprentice brother die in vain."
"Honorable Master, if there is anything you need me for, feel free to ask. As long as this disciple is able to do so, I will not refuse!"
Zhong Can solemnly vowed.
When Kuang Tianzheng heard this, a smile blossomed on his face. He had been waiting for this sentence.
"Honorable Master, do you have a plan?"
Zhong Can asked.
"I don't have a plan yet."
Kuang Tianzheng shook his head. "But, after that boy enters the sect, we cannot let him have an easy time … if we can interfere with his cultivation, that would be for the best."
"He isn't even 3000 years old yet he has such achievements. If he is allowed to continue growing, there will come a day when we won't be able to touch him even if we want to. We might even fall into a passive situation."
Kuang Tianzheng said in a deep voice, his tone full of fear.
"We really can't let him grow."
Zhong Can nodded, clearly agreeing with this. "We have to find a way to make him leave the sect. That will make it easier for us or the people we find to deal with him … if he really refuses to leave the sect no matter what, we will find a way to anger him and make him sign a life or death agreement, walking down the road of no return!"
"It's best to make him leave the sect."
Kuang Tianzheng said, "Making him sign a life or death agreement isn't realistic … after all, if someone weaker than him challenges him to a life or death battle, he won't fear it. If someone is stronger than him, he won't accept it. "
"For him to reach this step today, he definitely isn't an impulsive person."
"This can be seen from the time he returned to the Hidden Fog Sect and forcefully killed the disciples of Old Wind and Old Thunder."
As Kuang Tianzheng spoke, a trace of dread appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"Make him leave the sect?"
Zhong Can frowned. "If he knows we will do something to him, he won't let go of any chance to kill him … will he leave the sect?"
"Normally speaking, he definitely won't."
Kuang Tianzheng indifferently said, "But, what if he learns that the God Emperor's divine treasures or even the Divine Sovereign's divine treasures have appeared? At that time, do you think he will be able to endure it? "
Zhong Can's eyes brightened. "Honorable Master is wise!"
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Hidden Dragon Grand Competition, which was held once every hundred years in the Heavenly Dragon Sect, would officially begin today.
At this time, not only had the Heavenly Dragon Sect's inner sect disciple entrance exam ended, but the outer sect disciple entrance exam had also ended.
Anyone who managed to enter the Tianlong Clan during this entrance examination would be able to obtain a spot to participate in the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition.
"In the Tianlong Clan's entrance examination this time, only 286 people successfully advanced to become inner sect disciples."
Three days later, just as Duan Lingtian stepped out of the door, he saw Hou Qingning walking towards him. When he reached his side, Hou Qingning scanned the surrounding people who were walking out of their respective residences. "I heard that there are more than five hundred outer sect disciples recruited this time."
"Mm."
As Duan Lingtian nodded, his eyes lit up. He saw a graceful figure with a veil on her face. At this time, she was no longer wearing the same attire as three days ago. Instead, she had changed into a light blue dress. As she stood there, her temperament was otherworldly and ethereal, making it difficult for people to have any thoughts of profaning her.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian saw that a few youths had approached her to strike up a conversation, but the response they received was no response.
The woman stood there with an indifferent gaze, as if she didn't care about her surroundings at all. However, it didn't make people feel that she was out of tune with her surroundings. Instead, it made people feel that she could blend in with the world, natural and peaceful.
Sensing Duan Lingtian's gaze, Hou Qingning also glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "Since the end of the inner sect disciple assessment, many people have approached her to talk to her, but without exception, they were all rejected."
"To be precise, no one could make her show the slightest change in expression."
"It didn't matter if they tried to curry favor or flew into a rage out of humiliation, they were all ignored by her."
"There were also two people who tried to make a move on her out of humiliation. Without exception, both of them were crippled. I don't think the two of them will be able to participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition this time."
Upon hearing Hou Qingning's words, Duan Lingtian could not help but smile.
It seemed like this young genius from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, known as Miss Seven, was not an ordinary person.
The woman's cold temperament reminded Duan Lingtian of Huan 'er.
In front of him, Huan 'er was the only one who was gentle. In front of others, she was incomparably cold. She was only slightly gentler in front of his family and friends, but there was still a coldness that kept people at arm's length.
'Huan' er … '
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly when he thought about Huan 'er. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost 30 years since he arrived in the Mystic Handle Land in the Realm of Gods.
It had been 30 years since he was separated from Huan 'er, Little Fei' er, and the others.
'30 years … In another 30 years, the spatial tunnel between the Realms of Gods and the Devata Realms will open.'
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly. His eyes were unfocused as his thoughts drifted away. It was as though he had left the Realms of Gods and returned to Huan 'er, Little Fei' er, Tian Wu, and the others.
He only regained his senses when he heard Hou Qingning's voice.
"Duan Lingtian, she's coming."
These were Hou Qingning's exact words.
"Hm?"
Before Duan Ling Tian could react, he saw the woman who was originally standing in the distance with her side facing him slowly walking toward him in the air.
To be more precise, she was walking toward him.
That pair of beautiful eyes also emitted a calm gaze that landed on him.
After a few moments, the woman arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian under many envious gazes.
Hou Qingning was shocked when he saw this. When he regained his senses, he hastily took a few steps back and said, "You can continue chatting."
Then, he stood at the side and watched.
"Duan Lingtian, do you know her?"
Hou Qingning asked Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission.
The reason for this question was because the Seventh Lady of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley had been acting unapproachable since three days ago, and no one had been able to talk to her … It was said that even during the selection, she had only listened to the suggestions of others and teamed up with those who weren't from the Divine Emperor level forces. She hadn't said a single word from beginning to end.
Some people even suspected that she was a mute.
But, this was almost impossible.
Even if she was a mute, there were many ways for her to speak after she became a god.
For this reason, it was obvious she was unwilling to speak.
"I don't know her."
Duan Lingtian was also confused. After replying to Hou Qingning, he looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression. "Do … you have something to say?"
"I heard from them that … you know Xue Haichuan?"
The woman asked in a pleasant voice. However, this question stunned Duan Lingtian. He never expected her to come here just to ask about this.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded and asked, "Who did you hear this from?"
In his opinion, not many people knew that he knew Xue Haichuan. Even if there were people who knew, it would be limited to the Linghu family.
As the woman continued to speak, he suddenly realized that she had indeed heard it from a member of the Linghu family.
When he, Xue Haichuan, and Xue Haishan left the Linghu family mansion to drink, the manager of the restaurant under the Linghu family knew of Xue Haichuan's identity. Then, the servants in charge of serving food and wine also knew of Xue Haichuan's identity.
Presumably, it was they who spread the news.
"Can you get in touch with him?"
The woman asked again.
"I can."
Duan Lingtian hesitated for a moment, then nodded in the end. Because he recalled that Xue Haichuan had told him three days ago that he wanted him to take care of this woman during the Hidden Dragon Competition.
Presumably, Xue Haichuan wouldn't mind letting her know that he could get in touch with him.
"Tell him that after the Hidden Dragon Competition ends, I want to give him a helping hand."
After the woman finished speaking, she added, "Tell him … I'm Fu Qingli's daughter."
At practically the instant the woman finished speaking, Duan Lingtian sent a voice transmission to Xue Haichuan, and Xue Haichuan quickly responded. "Little Tian, tell her that after the Hidden Dragon Competition ends, you'll bring her to me."
"At that time, please show her the way."
Although Xue Haichuan tried his best to suppress his emotions, Duan Lingtian still noticed the fluctuations in his emotions.
Obviously, at this moment, Xue Haichuan's heart wasn't calm.
After coming back to his senses, Duan Lingtian looked at the woman before him. "I've already told him … he asked me to personally bring you to him after the Hidden Dragon Competition ends."
"Thank you."
After the woman expressed her gratitude, she floated away and followed many people who had already set off towards the location where the Hidden Dragon Competition was being held.
The Hidden Dragon Competition was being held in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range. At the peak of the tallest mountain in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range, half of the area was separated as if it had been sliced off by a knife. From afar, it looked like a vast stone platform.
This place was also known as the Firing Dragon Arena, and it was the place where the Tianlong Clan held the Hidden Dragon Competition for generations.
Usually, this place was also used as a martial arts practice platform, and many Tianlong Clan disciples would meet here to spar.
However, because of the Hidden Dragon Competition, the Firing Dragon Arena had already been cleared out many days ago. Therefore, when Duan Lingtian and Hou Qingning arrived together, the Firing Dragon Arena was empty.
There wasn't a single person on the arena, but many people had already gathered around the arena.
At first glance, there were at least a few hundred people.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really early."
Suddenly, a voice came from beside him, causing Duan Lingtian to look over instinctively.
With just a glance, he saw a young man wearing a brocade robe walking in the air towards him with a smile on his face. Behind him, there were two other people. One was a young man wearing a black robe, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a blue martial arts suit.
When Duan Lingtian reacted, the other party was already in front of him.
"Young Clan Leader."
The person who had come was the young clan leader of the Donghua Clan, Hua Tiandu.
