"Martial Uncle Sect Leader, I'm here to ask for instructions. When will the Elite Disciple Competition be held? According to the usual practice, it would have already been held by this time in previous years, and the winner would have already been decided! " A loud and clear voice came from within the True Dragon Palace. Even Ling Dong, who had just asked the True Dragon Palace guard to pass the message, heard it clearly!
Although Ling Dong could be considered as Sect Leader Chu Fangyue's Junior Brother and could see Sect Leader Chu Fangyue without any notice, most of the time, Ling Dong would not do so at all. Ling Dong still understood this principle!
"Martial Nephew He, are you so impatient? When will it be held? I will pass the message to … "
"Reporting to Sect Leader, Inner Disciple Ling Dong has answered the summons and is here!" The True Dragon Palace guard's voice interrupted True Gang Sect Leader Chu Fangyue's voice. When Disciple He, who was asking for instructions in the palace, heard the two words' Ling Dong ', a sharp light flashed past the corner of his eyes.
"Tell him to come in!" Great Sect Leader Chu responded and said, "Martial Nephew He, everyone is here. Inform all the peaks that the Elite Disciple Competition will be held in front of the True Dragon Palace three days later. Be careful and prepare!"
When Ling Dong pushed open the door and entered, a young man over 1.8 meters tall from the True Dragon Palace was currently bowing to Chu Fangyue. Then, he turned around and left. When he brushed past Ling Dong, that guy suddenly grinned at Ling Dong, revealing a mouthful of cold and shiny teeth. His palm, however, was suddenly placed horizontally in front of his chest, making a throat-slitting gesture filled with killing intent.
This made Ling Dong, who was smiling and greeting him, freeze on the spot. While he was stunned, Ling Dong and that young man had already passed each other! Ling Dong could not understand why this young man had such a great enmity towards him during this moment of shock and momentary sizing up.
After sizing him up, Ling Dong felt a sense of familiarity towards this young man, as if he had met him before. However, he just couldn't remember who this person was. As he frowned, he first bowed towards Chu Fangyue and said, "Senior Martial Brother, do you have something to discuss with me?"
Chu Fangyue wasn't in a hurry to answer Ling Dong. She sized up Ling Dong from head to toe before saying, "En, not bad! However, you came in time. If you came a few days later, it would be difficult for me as the Sect Leader! "
"Difficult?" Ling Dong glanced back and asked, "Because of the guy who just went out? Right, who's that guy? Why does it seem like I dug up his ancestral grave, and he can't wait to kill me! "
Chu Fangyue raised her head and looked outside. She gave Ling Dong a meaningful look before saying, "Although you didn't dig up his ancestral grave, it's no different from digging up his ancestral grave! Didn't you hear that the guy's surname is He? "At this point, Chu Fangyue suddenly raised her eyebrows!
"Surname He? The He Family of Commandeering Talisman Peak? "Ling Dong was not stupid. He immediately thought of this after Chu Fangyue's reminder. He also understood why this person looked so familiar. This person looked so similar to He Duoxing!
"That's right. This person's surname is He Zhaixing. He is the most outstanding descendant of the He Family. He is also the most talented inner disciple with the fastest cultivation speed in the past hundred years of True Gang Sect!"
Seeing Ling Dong's nonchalant expression, Chu Fangyue suddenly revealed, "Five years ago, this He Zhaixing was secretly selected by the Patriarch to be the next Sect Leader of True Gang Sect. He was also the only inner disciple who was qualified to receive guidance from the Patriarch!"
"The next Sect Leader of True Gang Sect?" Hearing Chu Fangyue's revelation, Ling Dong was finally moved. With He Zhaixing's status and his strong enmity towards him, if He Zhaixing really became the next Sect Leader, Ling Dong would not have a good time.
Seeing Ling Dong's shocked expression, Chu Fangyue seemed to be very pleased. She smiled mysteriously again and said, "That's right, but this is all in the past! Ever since you, Ling Dong, appeared and was taken in as the last disciple of the Patriarch, the next Sect Leader of True Gang Sect has changed. It's now you, Ling Dong! "
"If it's me …" Hearing this news, Ling Dong was so shocked that his jaw dropped again. He pointed at himself and was speechless for a long time. It was not that the identity of the Sect Leader's successor scared Ling Dong. It was because his status in True Gang Sect in his previous life and this life was too high.
In his previous life, Ling Dong did not even manage to become an inner sect disciple. His status was even lower than some outer sect disciples. But in this life, he first became an inner disciple. Then, he became the true disciple of the reclusive Patriarch Stargazer. Now, he suddenly heard from Sect Leader Chu Fangyue that he was going to be the successor of the Sect Leader?
At that moment, Ling Dong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Why was it his turn to be the successor of the Sect Leader?
"Little Junior Brother, are you surprised?" Chu Fangyue asked with a smile. After Ling Dong nodded, Chu Fangyue raised a finger at Ling Dong and said, "All of this was decided by the grandmaster! Moreover, Little Junior Brother, your ability has also gained my recognition. Once you achieve one goal, the identity of the future Sect Leader of True Gang Sect will be announced to the public and confirmed! "
"One goal?" Ling Dong could not help but lick his lips and ask.
It would be a lie to say that Ling Dong was not tempted by the identity of the successor of the Sect Leader. This was especially true for the Sect Leader of True Gang Sect, which had been passed down since the ancient times.
If the Sect Leader of True Gang Sect could fully control and command the elite forces of True Gang Sect, the Empire of Yaoguang would definitely be terrified.
According to Ling Dong's analysis of the information from his previous life, the elite forces of True Gang Sect were definitely comparable to the elite forces of Yaoguang Empire. If the Black Crossbow Army and the Cavalry Crossbow Army were not taken into account, the elite forces of True Gang Sect would definitely be able to invade the Empire of Yaoguang.
"Yes, this goal is very important. It was also ordered by the Patriarch! It also has something to do with that He Zhaixing! "Chu Fangyue said.
Ling Dong was even more surprised when he heard this. Suddenly, he asked, "Senior Brother, don't tell me that you want me to defeat that He Zhaixing in the Elite Disciple Competition? Or do you want me to kill him? "
"Hehe, Little Junior Brother, what are you thinking? How can it be so simple? If it was so simple, why would I need to tell you this personally? However … "Chu Fangyue's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light." However, defeating He Zhaixing in the Elite Disciple Competition and even killing him will be the first step to achieving this goal! "
"Are you serious? You really want me to kill He Zhaixing? Isn't He Zhaixing the genius with the best talent and the fastest cultivation speed in the history of True Gang Sect? Such a genius disciple, even if he is not the Sect Leader, is definitely the wealth of the Sect? "Ling Dong said in surprise.
"The wealth of the Sect?" Chu Fangyue sneered. "A disciple who only cares about strengthening his own family and only wants to gain benefits from the Sect without thinking of the Sect is considered the wealth of the Sect? Such a person should be called the scourge of the Sect, right? "
"Scourge?" After pondering for a while, Ling Dong figured out the crux of the matter.
He Zhaixing was still a member of the He Family, and the He Family was the Peak Master of Yufu Peak. Moreover, when Ling Dong chased after He Duoxing, it was Ancestor Stargazer who stepped in to suppress the He Family. This showed how powerful the He Family was in True Gang Sect.
Even though Ling Dong did not have access to the affairs of the upper echelons of True Gang Sect in his previous life, there was a saying among the lower echelons of True Gang Sect, "It's better to provoke the Sect Leader than to provoke the He Family!"
This showed how powerful the He Family was in True Gang Sect. The He Family of Yufu Peak was famous for being united and protective of their own.
The current situation was that the He Family was powerful enough to threaten Chu Fangyue's position as the Sect Leader. With the appearance of He Zhaixing, the He Family could start to openly plot for the Sect Leader's position.
From this, Ling Dong also understood why He Zhaixing had made a throat-slitting gesture at him when he had just entered the door. On one hand, it was because of the incident in Jade Library. Ling Dong had crippled He Duoxing and forced the Heaven's Strength Realm expert, He Wanmu, to face the wall in Pandemonium. Now that Ling Dong had taken He Zhaixing's position as the Sect Leader, it was impossible for He Zhaixing not to hate Ling Dong to the core!
"Since they are scourges, why didn't Master get rid of them? With Master's ability, getting rid of these scourges should be a piece of cake, right? "Ling Dong probed carefully.
It would have been fine if Ling Dong did not mention this, but once he did, Chu Fangyue's charming face immediately darkened. "If I could get rid of them like this, why would I need you to teach me?" Chu Fangyue gave Ling Dong a knock on the head for no reason. "If you want to know why, ask the Patriarch yourself!"
After snappily shouting at Ling Dong, Chu Fangyue continued, "Let me tell you this, little junior brother. In this world, there is a secret realm called the Heaven Receiving Secret Realm. It can only be opened once every sixty years and this year is the year that it will open …"
Hearing Chu Fangyue mention the Sky Reaching Mystic Realm, Ling Dong's body trembled slightly. He immediately pretended that this was the first time he had heard of it. He listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.
As the Sect Leader of True Gang Sect, Chu Fangyue naturally knew more about the Sky Reaching Mystic Realm than Ling Dong. After Ling Dong gained some knowledge, he also understood what was going on.
Apart from the huge age restriction on the martialist, another thing was needed to enter the Sky Reaching Mystic Realm — the Sky Reaching Token!
Only with the Sky Reaching Token could one enter the Sky Reaching Mystic Realm. As a large sect that had been passed down since ancient times, True Gang Sect had a total of three Sky Reaching Tokens!
With three Sky Reaching Tokens, True Gang Sect could send three disciples into the Sky Reaching Mystic Realm!
The Heaven Reaching Mystery Land involved many things. If one could gain something from it, the benefits would be even greater. Therefore, the candidates to enter the Heaven Reaching Mystery Land would be chosen by the Peak Masters of the four peaks of the True Gang Sect and the Sect Leader of the True Dragon Palace. Two of their best disciples would be chosen for a martial arts competition to determine the candidates to enter the Heaven Reaching Mystery Land.
The two disciples recommended by the Peak Master of Hundred Formation Peak were Qiu Qingyi and Ling Dong! Of course, Zhang Bingzheng's recommendation of Ling Dong was at the behest of Chu Fangyue, Head Master Chu!
As for He Zhaixing, he was naturally recommended by the Peak Master of Yufu Peak, He Wanshan. According to Chu Fangyue, He Zhaixing was taking part in the internal sect competition for the Sky Reaching Token. His main goal was to use the competition as an opportunity to cripple Ling Dong or kill Ling Dong!
