When Mu Lang returned to the main hall with the Asura Dynasty's envoys, he invited Yun Lin to the main seat in the middle of the stairs while he retreated to the right.
Yun Lin also walked forward and slowly sat down. The group of cultivators she brought with her took their seats on the left side of the table. Yi Tian saw that the person sitting on the left side of Yun Lin was a late-stage Spirit Severing cultivator with a ferocious face. There was a faint murderous aura coming from his body. It was obvious that this person was a butcher.
To be able to gather so much murderous aura, there were at least 800 people who died in his hands. Moreover, this person seemed to be arrogant and didn't take the Asura Sect's people seriously at all. If it weren't for Yun Lin in front of him, he might have caused some trouble.
As for Mu Lang, he was also very experienced. After complimenting this person, he also chatted and laughed, not revealing any flaws that could be exploited by the other party.
The rest of the cultivators on the left side were rather courteous. They stood up one by one and toasted the host.
Then, Mu Lang also returned the toasts one by one, acting like a host. After a while, Yun Lin said, "The Asura Sect is now full of talents. They can participate in the selection that is held once in a thousand years. Is Sect Master Mu ready?"
"Although our sect is content with our territory, we always remember the empress's instructions. We don't dare to relax in the cultivation of the younger generation. This time, we have selected 30 Yuanying disciples and five Spirit Severing disciples to participate in the competition, "Mu Lang replied.
"That's good. The empress also wants to expand the palace guards and imperial guards," Yun Lin replied with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the ferocious-looking man sitting at the side spoke up, "Actually, it's a good thing that Her Majesty is opening the doors and filling up the imperial army. However, selecting pillars of the imperial army isn't child's play. That's why Prince Wei instructed me to be strict and not allow those incompetent people to fill the ranks."
As soon as he said that, the noise in the hall stopped. The people sitting on the right side all looked surprised. However, considering the power of the person in front of them, they didn't dare to say anything. As for Mu Lang, his eyelids twitched. He seemed to know the strength of the person in front of him, but he didn't dare to rashly refute.
After a while, he stopped and said, "What Earl Yao said is somewhat reasonable. However, although the empress is selecting people for the martial arts exam, her purpose is to increase the strength of the imperial guards. For this purpose, strength is secondary. The most important thing is loyalty."
He did not expect Mu Lang to be so shrewd as to change the topic on purpose. This time, even Yun Lin, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded in agreement and said, "Sect Leader Mu is right. The Empire needs people who are at the center, people who are willing to die for the Empress. As for cultivation and strength, it can be slowly cultivated. But, Luo Yao, you are wrong about this. "
Luo Yao didn't think that Yun Lin would embarrass him in front of everyone. Hearing Yun Lin, Luo Yao's look slightly changed. He hurriedly turned around, cupped his hands to Yun Lin, and said, "I'm just stating the facts. Prince Wei doesn't want to sleep at night for the sake of the dynasty, and I just want to share the burden of Prince Wei."
Yun Lin, who was sitting on the main seat, showed no change in her expression, but every time she heard the words' Prince Wei ', a trace of disgust would flash across her eyes.
Yi Tian, who was sitting at the end of the table, saw all of their expressions, and began carefully observing the situation in front of him. It seemed that Yun Lin, who was sitting on the main seat, was quite dissatisfied with Luo Yao. Or, she had a strong opinion about the people behind Luo Yao, which was why she behaved like this.
At this moment, Mu Lang tried to smooth things over by saying, "Both of you are loyal to the dynasty, but you're responsible for different things. This time, our Asura Cult is indebted to Her Majesty, and we will certainly do our best and live up to Her Majesty's expectations. "
Yun Lin only nodded slightly in response, but Luo Yao's eyes flickered as if he had an idea. "Since Sect Master Mu is so confident in the disciples of the cult, why don't you ask the elites to come out and display their might?"
With that said, the atmosphere in the hall became lively, and the cultivators in the back row of the Asura Cult were eager to give it a try. This was especially true for the Deity Transformation cultivators who were likely to participate in the once-in-a-millennium selection. Their expressions were filled with peculiar colors, and it could be seen that they were eager to show their faces in front of everyone.
In contrast, the row of cultivators sitting across from them coldly sized up the Asura Cult cultivators with playful smiles on their faces.
After a short while, Luo Yao and Mu Lang had a discussion, and they first took out a transparent disk spirit tool and placed it in the center of the hall. Soon after, one of the three people sitting at the end of the banquet slowly walked out under Luo Yao's instructions. After greeting everyone present, he flew directly into the spirit tool.
After entering the spirit tool, his figure shrunk to the size of a pellet. Needless to say, the disk was most likely a spatial spirit tool. Yi Tian was already used to this, and there was not a trace of surprise on his face. It was reasonable for Mu Lang to choose to send his disciples out.
However, it seemed that Luo Yao's subordinates were not to be trifled with, and their Asura Transcendence Body had probably reached a certain level of attainment. Looking at the Asura Cult cultivators, it seemed that they had at most achieved a small success in refining the spirit tool. Even with their strength, they might not be able to do it.
As expected, a disciple behind him received Mu Lang's voice transmission and hurriedly stepped out. The two of them did not say anything and immediately took out their spirit tools and began to exchange blows.
Yi Tian's divine sense swept over them, and he lost interest. This kind of exchange was no longer worthy of his attention, and he immediately entered a meditative state. After a short while, cheers could be heard from the opposite side, and the result was obvious.
After that, Mu Lang sent another disciple to fight, and the result was obvious, and he returned in defeat. When the third round began, Yi Tian found that Luo Jinzhong, who was sitting behind him, actually stood up and flew into the spirit tool.
He immediately opened his eyes and looked carefully. He did not expect Mu Lang to send him out. This was clearly because he was anxious to win back some face. Luo Jinzhong's strength was not weak, and he was originally the commander of the imperial guards, so it was naturally easy for him to make a move.
However, Yi Tian was surprised to find that Luo Jinzhong's Asura Transcendence Body had appeared in the Sumeru Space. This really shocked the cultivators on the other side, and even the Severed Soul Stage cultivators showed a trace of surprise in their eyes.
Luo Yao, who was sitting on the upper stage, had a suspicious look in his eyes. After looking for a while, he asked, "Could this person be Luo Jinzhong, who betrayed the imperial guards many years ago? It has only been a few decades, and his strength has actually soared so much. I'm afraid that only the descendants of the two princes in the dynasty can suppress him."
Mu Lang said with a proud expression, "Jinzhong became my disciple 40 years ago, so of course the resources in the cult would be biased towards him. It is natural for him to have such achievements."
These words made Luo Yao lose face, but facts spoke louder than words. In less than an hour, the three Severed Soul Stage cultivators that came out fought with Luo Jinzhong. Without exception, they were all defeated by Luo Jinzhong's Dual Sun and Moon Splendor.
When everyone finished fighting, Luo Yao's face was ashen, and he looked like he was on the verge of exploding. However, when he looked at Yun Lin, his expression changed several times, and he suppressed his anger.
