"I'm sure that I didn't see you at the audition. If you saw us at the audition, even if it wasn't convenient for you to greet us, you would've sent us a message."
Hou Qingning's tone was firm.
"I didn't participate in the audition."
Ding Yan shook his head. "I didn't even participate in the sect entrance examination this time."
Ding Yan's words naturally shocked Duan Lingtian and the other two.
Didn't participate in the sect entrance examination?
Where did he get the same inner sect disciple identity token as them?
"Connections?"
For a moment, this thought appeared in their minds at the same time.
Facing Duan Lingtian and the other two's doubtful gazes, Ding Yan shrugged and said, "Although I didn't participate in the sect entrance examination, I did receive the inner sect disciple identity token today and officially became a disciple of the Tianlong Clan today."
"That's why I was able to participate in this Hidden Dragon Competition."
Ding Yan said.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian looked deeply at Ding Yan. "Back then, during the Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star student assessment in Tianfeng City, you said that if you left with me, as long as you revealed your identity, the God King clans in Tianfeng City wouldn't attack us."
"Is it because you're related to the Tianlong Clan?"
Following Ding Yan's words, Duan Lingtian and the other two could basically confirm that Ding Yan was indeed related to the Tianlong Clan. He didn't need to participate in the tianlong Clan's entrance examination to enter the Tianlong Clan and become an inner sect disciple of the clan.
"Yes."
Ding Yan nodded and then sighed with a complicated gaze. He didn't speak for a long time until Hou Qingning urged him to speak.
After Ding Yan spoke, Duan Lingtian and Hou Qingning also understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Ding Yan's only relative in this world, his father, was a rogue cultivator. When he died, his cultivation was at the Divine Emperor Realm.
At that time, Ding Yan was still young.
At that time, one of Ding Yan's father's close friends had come to take Ding Yan away and wanted to marry his daughter to Ding Yan.
This marriage had been decided when Ding Yan's father was still alive. It was a standard betrothal.
That friend of Ding Yan's father did not forget his friendship with Ding Yan's father just because Ding Yan's father had died.
Later on, Ding Yan stayed by his father's friend's side.
This friend of his father's was a consecrator of the Tianlong Clan. Normally, he would wear the token of the Black Dragon Elder around his waist, showing himself to others as the Black Dragon Elder.
In the beginning, Ding Yan felt somewhat sullen staying with his father's old friend because his father's daughter looked down on him and often mocked him in secret.
If it wasn't for the fact that this uncle of his was genuinely good to him, he would have left long ago.
He was a man with backbone.
Later on, this uncle of his went into seclusion to cultivate and his daughter became even more insatiable. Under such circumstances, Ding Yan chose to leave the Tianlong Clan.
After leaving the Tianlong Clan, Ding Yan moved to Tianfeng City and entered the Hidden Mist Academy. He became a student there and was promoted to a ten-star student of the Hidden Mist Academy.
It was not until nearly thirty years ago that his uncle came out of seclusion and took him back.
At the same time, in order to make him work hard and catch up with the time he had spent in seclusion, he took away his storage ring and prevented him from contacting the outside world so that he could concentrate on cultivating.
"That's how it is."
Ding Yan smiled bitterly. "Uncle Sikong took me back with the intention of letting me enter the Tianlong Clan and become an official disciple of the Tianlong Clan.
"In the past, although I was taken to the Tianlong Clan by him, I was not a disciple of the Tianlong Clan. I was only his uncle and nephew."
After hearing Ding Yan's words, Duan Lingtian and Hou Qingning suddenly realized the truth behind the matter.
"No wonder your bloodline power is extraordinary. It turns out that your father was a Divine Emperor expert."
Hou Qingning sighed. Even he had been envious of Ding Yan's Berserk Transformation Bloodline in the past. This was because his Bloodline Power was much less useful than Ding Yan's Berserk Transformation Bloodline Power when he fought with others.
"Even if my father was a Divine Emperor expert, he is a fallen Divine Emperor expert."
Ding Yan sighed. "Back then, I was still young and didn't know much about my father's strength. I only knew that my father was very strong and often took me everywhere.
"He collected divine pills for me to consume and built a good foundation for me.
"Later on, after he died, Uncle Sikong took me to the Tianlong Clan."
Ding Yan's eyes became dazed as he recalled the past.
"Ding Yan, what is your current cultivation base?"
Hou Qingning suddenly asked.
"Lower Divine King."
Ding Yan said.
"Same as me."
Hou Qingning smiled. "Are you going to participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition? If you are, I look forward to meeting you and seeing how much you've grown over the years. "
"Back then, you were no match for me."
Hou Qingning said.
"I'm also surprised that you broke through and became a Divine King."
Ding Yan looked at Hou Qingning in surprise. "I broke through and became a Divine King because of Uncle Sikong's careful nurturing. He gave me all kinds of divine fruits and divine pills … But you were in the Hidden Mist Academy. Even if you have the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect behind you, it shouldn't have been enough for you to break through and become a Divine King in such a short time."
"I left the Hidden Mist Academy a long time ago. “
Before I came to the Tianlong Clan, Duan Lingtian took care of me and helped me enter the Murong family, "Hou Qingning shook his head.
"The reason I was able to break through and become a Divine King in such a short time is all thanks to the divine pills and divine pills that Duan Lingtian refined for me."
Hou Qingning knew his own innate talent and comprehension ability very well. He knew very well that everything he had now was given to him by Duan Ling Tian.
Ding Yan's eyes brightened when he heard Hou Qingning's words. He instinctively looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Duan Lingtian, I heard that you can refine supreme Spirit Grade Divine Pills."
"I didn't expect you to know how to refine pills as well. I've never heard you mention it before. "
Ding Yan said.
"I dabbled in alchemy when I was in the Devata Realms and the mundane realms. It was only after I came to the Mystic Gang Land in the Realms of Gods that I began to refine pills.
Duan Lingtian spoke casually, but Ding Yan looked at him as though he was looking at a monster. "Not every alchemist from the Devata Realms can become an outstanding Divine Alchemist in the Realms of Gods.
An outstanding Divine Alchemist not only needs to refine pills, but they also need to be able to sense the life energy of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and how much life energy they can extract. "
It was clear Ding Yan knew a lot about Divine Alchemists.
"Ding Yan?"
Suddenly, a voice rang from afar, drawing the attention of Duan Lingtian and the others.
Duan Lingtian looked over and saw the Vice Sect Leader of the Hidden Mist Sect, Murong Suifeng, standing in the air not far away. He was looking at Ding Yan in shock.
As the Dean of the Hidden Mist Academy, he knew all the ten-star students in the Hidden Mist Academy. He also knew who Ding Yan was.
More than twenty years ago, Ding Yan had left the words' quit school 'on the wall of the dormitory and left. Since then, there had been no news of him.
At that time, Murong Suifeng was still wondering why Ding Yan would quit school.
However, according to some of the Hidden Mist Academy teachers who knew Ding Yan well, they couldn't contact Ding Yan after that. However, Ding Yan's soul orb was intact, proving that he was still alive.
"Dean."
Seeing Murong Suifeng, Ding Yan's eyes lit up. "You're here too?"
"Sixth … Sixth Uncle."
At this time, Murong Yinyue, who was beside Hou Qingning, looked around vigilantly. She bit her lips and greeted Murong Suifeng.
"Sixth Uncle?"
Duan Lingtian was startled, and so was Hou Qingning.
Duan Lingtian had long guessed that Murong Suifeng was in the Hidden Mist Sect, and the Hidden Mist Sect wasn't far from the Murong family. Could he be a member of the Murong family?
However, on the day of the selection, when he saw the Murong family meeting Murong Suifeng, he subconsciously thought that Murong Suifeng had nothing to do with the Murong family.
But today, Murong Yinyue called him 'Sixth Uncle'.
Hearing Murong Yinyue call him 'Sixth Uncle', Murong Suifeng's expression changed slightly. He immediately looked around vigilantly.
"Sixth Uncle, don't worry. There's no one from the Murong family around."
Murong Yinyue said.
"Little Yue, even so, don't talk to me directly. If you want to say anything, just send me a message … You also know that when I was expelled from the family, the family elders ordered that if anyone dares to greet me or say anything to me in the future, they will be expelled from the family! Everyone must pretend not to know me! "
Murong Suifeng said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Sixth Uncle."
Seeing that Murong Suifeng was serious, Murong Yinyue quickly replied.
After hearing Murong Suifeng's words, Duan Lingtian finally understood why no one from the Linghu family greeted Murong Suifeng on the day of the selection. They even pretended not to know Murong Suifeng. It turned out that the Murong family elders had given such an order.
What kind of mistake was it that made the Murong Clan's Elder Council issue such an order?
This was equivalent to never acknowledging Murong Suifeng's identity. At the same time, they did not want anyone to know that Murong Suifeng was related to the Murong family.
"When you have the time, ask Third Miss about the grudges between the Dean and the Murong family … Yes, tell me when you find out."
Duan Lingtian sent a message to Hou Qingning. Although he was not a gossipy person, he was still quite curious about this.
It was hard for him to imagine what kind of mistake Murong Suifeng had made that the Murong family elders would be so ruthless.
Hearing how Murong Yinyue addressed Murong Suifeng, he was most likely a direct descendant of the Murong family.
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
Hou Qingning was actually considering whether to ask Murong Yinyue. When he suddenly heard Duan Lingtian's message, he immediately replied unhappily.
"I'll give you a chance to develop a relationship with her."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly and said, "I don't mind you telling her that I'm the one who asked you to ask."
"You …"
Hou Qingning was speechless.
While Murong Suifeng and Ding Yan were chatting, the Tianlong Clan elder in charge of the Hidden Dragon Competition finally appeared in front of everyone in the Fire Dragon Arena.
Behind this Tianlong Clan elder were two other people.
Duan Lingtian recognized one of them. It was his brother Yannian, the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan, Dongfang Yannian.
