846: C846 The Fight for the Throne

C846 The Fight for the Throne

Zhou Tian's sword is not as deep as the sea of thunder. But even so, it still made him pay more attention to Ling Jian. The things that happened in the Red Alliance Wine House and the auction in the Red Alliance Spiritual City... All of them were still fresh in his memory.

"In that case, this person is quite wealthy."

Yin Feng suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in surprise.

Six million low grade spirit stones, not to mention them, even the twelve great families' Patriarchs wouldn't be able to take it out so easily in one go. However, now that Ling Jian was able to take it out so easily, he could definitely be considered a wealthy man.

After all, Ling Jian looked much younger than them. At this age, he actually possessed such a large number of spirit stones. It was absolutely impossible to not make them jealous.

"However, even if we have a large number of spirit stones today, it will still be useless. In the competition for the position of the palace, we will consider the strength of everyone. If one's strength is insufficient, he will be trampled by others and will suffer a fate worse than death."

Yin Gu faintly smiled and said. After he finished speaking, he did not continue speaking.

Clearly, he did not place any more attention on Ling Jian.

His gaze quickly locked onto another direction. It was precisely where Yang Dong was located.

In his opinion, the current Young Palace Master's Young Thoughts naturally couldn't shake him. Right now, the only person who could be his opponent was probably Yang Dong.

Only by completely defeating Yang Dong would he be able to naturally inherit the position of Palace Master this time.

...

Ling Jian and the other two were not very fast, but they soon appeared in front of the stone door. At this moment, there were already many cultivators greeting the two girls. On the contrary, Ling Jian, who was standing beside the two girls, did not greet them. It was as if the air did not exist.

"Young Palace Master."

"Yang Xueying."

At this moment, a few young cultivators walked towards the two women. One of the men asked with a smile on his face.

The two women nodded in response.

Then, Shao Thoughts looked at Ling Jian again and said with a smile, "Young Master Ling, these people are from my faction. You all know each other."

"This is Zhan Family's number one genius, Zhan Potian."

"This is the number one genius of the Wan Family of the Black Alliance's Spirit City, Wan Zhong."

"This is the number one genius of the Luo Family, God Luo."

...

Young Thoughts introduced Ling Jian one by one. Including Ling Jian and Yang Xueying, there were exactly ten people.

Among the eight of them, Luo Shen and Zhan Potian were the Luo and Zhan Families, one of the twelve great families. They were also the two great families that still followed the young palace master until now.

As for Wan Zhong, he was from the Black Alliance's Spirit City, and his condition was quite similar to Ling Jian's.

Among the eight young cultivators, Zhan Potian was obviously the strongest. Luo Shen and Wan Zhong were the strongest, and the three of them were the strongest.

As for the remaining six, although their cultivations had also reached the Middle Heaven Enlightenment Realm, however, the aura they emitted was obviously weaker than Zhan Potian's. Luo Shen and Wan Zhong, even if they were compared to the cultivators from the other factions... He was also significantly weaker.

"This is Young Master Ling Jian, he's quite powerful. He will fight side by side with us in the battle for the throne."

After introducing the others, Youngster also introduced Ling Jian.

However, none of them cared about Ling Jian. All of them casually glanced at each other, and then stopped paying attention to him.

After all, they were all cultivators of the Skysoul Palace. They felt that they would always surpass cultivators from other places. Even if Ling Jian was powerful, how powerful would he be if he didn't even enter the Skysoul Palace?

However, there was an exception. Not everyone had such a high and mighty attitude. Luo Shen, on the other hand, looked at Ling Jian with a faint smile on his face.

After Shao Yearning finished introducing him, Luo Shen began to greet Ling Jian and said, "My dear brother, my name is Luo Shen. The competition for the throne will begin soon. We'll take care of you when you enter."

When Ling Jian heard this, he also nodded and did not say anything. It could be considered as a response to Luo Shen.

Luo Shen was also slightly stunned by Ling Jian's indifferent attitude. However, he did not say anything. However, the other seven people could not bear to watch on any longer.

After all, Luo Shen was the number one genius of the Luo Family. He was invincible among the younger generation of the Luo Family. With one hand... The Luo Family's spearmanship was refined to perfection. Although it was not comparable to the Luo Family's Patriarch's perfection, however, among the younger generation of the Heaven Alliance's Spiritual City, his strength was definitely among the top.

In the eyes of the crowd, the fact that Luo Shen was able to speak to Ling Jian in such a manner had clearly given Ling Jian a great deal of face. However, they did not expect Ling Jian to have such a huge ass. To be able to slack off even in the face of Luo Shen, he was so insensible. He simply didn't know what was good for him.

"You're called Ling Jian, right?"

Zhan Potian suddenly looked at Ling Jian and asked in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?"

Ling Jian nodded. He was too lazy to bother with Zhan Potian.

"Although I don't know what your strengths are, to be able to get Yang Xueying to bring you here, at the very least, you don't have any manners!"

Zhan Potian's tone became extremely cold as he said coldly, "The Luo Deity has greeted you. Your attitude is so arrogant. You don't even know how to return the favor?"

Zhan Potian's tone was low and his words carried a strong sense of confrontation. His eyes coldly swept across Ling Jian in front of him. Clearly, he was not very friendly.

The reason he had jumped out in such a hurry was definitely not because of Luo Shen. After all, although he and Luo Shen were geniuses of the twelve great clans, their relationship was not as good as it usually was. There was also a competitive relationship between them.

He had done this purely because he was petty. Previously, when Ling Jian and Shao Thoughts had come together with Yang Xueying, he had been jealous.

At that time, when he still did not know Ling Jian's name, he already wanted to make a move on Ling Jian. However, he did not have a suitable reason. Now that he saw this scene, he naturally found an opportunity.

Beside Zhan Potian, the person who came from the Black Alliance's Spiritual City. En, Wan Zhong. Although he did not say anything at this moment, his face carried a cold smile. Clearly, he was extremely displeased with Ling Jian's earlier performance.

As for the remaining cultivators, all of them had cold smiles in their eyes. Clearly, they were just here to watch the show.

The other two factions also sensed the situation on the Young Palace Master's side. Immediately, numerous gazes were shot over. All of them had a playful smile on their faces.

Among them, there were quite a number of cultivators who had the same thoughts as Zhan Potian. They all wanted to cause trouble for Ling Jian, but because they belonged to different factions... They did not know how to make a move, but they did not expect that they would not make a move yet. The people on Young Palace Master's side had already started to get involved.

"Whether or not I return the courtesy has nothing to do with you."

Ling Jian said indifferently. At the same time, his gaze shot a slight glance at Zhan Potian. Regarding Zhan Potian's thoughts, how could he not see it?

Zhan Potian did not expect Ling Jian to speak to him in such a way. His expression immediately became extremely ugly. He looked at Ling Jian angrily and said coldly, "Do you know who you are talking to? Do you want to die?"

Ling Jian pretended not to hear him, and his gaze still indifferently swept over Zhan Potian. Although Zhan Potian's strength was not weak, to him... It was not even enough for him to make a move. If he made a move... One slap was enough to get rid of the other party.

Zhan Potian saw Ling Jian's indifference in his eyes. This caused Zhan Potian's face to instantly distort, and his entire body's anger rose. The spirit energy in his body began to surge, as if it was possible for him to attack Ling Jian.

"Enough!"

Before Zhan Potian could truly make a move, Yang Xueying's cold gaze shot over. Her gaze landed on Zhan Potian at this moment, and her voice was cold and emotionless. "Zhan Potian, the battle for the position of the Palace has yet to begin. You want to fight amongst yourselves first? "

Zhan Potian furrowed his brows and smiled. "Yang Xueying, you don't have to do this either. I'm just teaching him a lesson. Don't tell me he can't even afford a lesson?"

"Zhan Potian, put away your spirit energy, he's someone I brought here, you're not allowed to touch him"

At the same time, Young Thoughts also opened his mouth at this moment. His voice was cold and clear, and just one sentence was enough to show that she had treated Ling Jian too much.

Zhan Potian's face froze, and even Young Thoughts had already spoken. He could only helplessly look at Young Thoughts, and finally suppressed the surging spiritual energy fluctuations in his body.

"Zhan Potian, I invited Young Master Ling here, and he's the helper of our camp this time. The battle for the position of the palace has yet to begin, and you're going to attack him. Are you trying to throw yourself into chaos first?"

Young Master Thoughts coldly said, and his gaze coldly swept past Zhan Potian. His voice didn't give the other party any leeway.

In fact, she similarly did not like Zhan Potian. It was only because of the Zhan Clan and Zhan Potian's strength that she chose him as her helper this time.

"Not many palace masters have misunderstood me!"

Zhan Potian hurriedly said.

Although he didn't like Ling Jian, at the same time that Young Master Faceless missed him, he didn't dare to lower his guard at all, and hurriedly said seriously.

"Hmph, I hope this is the last time. Now that the competition for the position of the Palace is about to begin, I do not wish to see you all fighting amongst yourselves!"

Young Master's Thought said coldly.

Zhan Potian nodded slightly. Although he was extremely unwilling, he still didn't dare to disobey the young palace lord.

However, even so, his killing intent towards Ling Jian became much more condensed, and his gaze towards Ling Jian became incomparably hostile.

This time, Young Thoughts was targeting him for the sake of a cultivator from the opposite sex. In the past, this was the case. Not to mention what happened, even imagination was very difficult to achieve. He did not expect it to actually happen. Even though it was because of the competition for the position of the palace, he did not expect it to actually happen. However, this was enough to make one feel extremely amazed and extraordinary.

Moreover, apart from Shao Yearning, Yang Xueying also protected Ling Jian. This made Ling Jian instantly become an existence that the two women supported, and it was extremely enviable.

"Young Master Ling, I apologize to you on behalf of Zhan Potian, and I apologize to you. I hope that you don't have to take this matter to heart."

However, in the next moment, something that Zhan Potian couldn't believe happened. Because Shao Thoughts actually apologized to Ling Jian in front of everyone.

After all, Shao Thoughts could be considered the young palace master of the current Skysoul Palace. He never would have thought that he would actually lower himself to do such a thing in front of Ling Jian.

However, Shao Thoughts naturally couldn't think of such a change in Zhan Potian's emotions, and Ling Jian was even more impossible to exist. Seeing Shao Thoughts apologize to him, he only nodded and didn't say anything.

"Damn it!"

"That damned fellow."

Zhan Potian cursed in his heart. Beside him... The others also had ugly expressions on their faces. They didn't expect Ling Jian to be like this. Even when facing the young palace master, he still had the same attitude. It had really exceeded their expectations.

Luo Shen looked at Ling Jian with a smile on his face. Although he didn't hate Ling Jian as much as the others did, he was very surprised that his young miss could apologize to Ling Jian in public.

"Calm down."

"The old Palace Master has appeared."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

After hearing this voice, almost everyone's gazes turned towards a single direction. Regardless of whether it was Yin Ya, Yang Dong, or Shao Thoughts, they all looked in that direction.

When their gazes landed on the figure that was walking over, all of them revealed extremely respectful expressions. "Greetings, Old Palace Master."

At that moment, with the appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master, everyone's eyes were filled with respect.

Even though the Old Palace Master's lifespan was almost up, if he could not make a breakthrough at the end of his lifespan... He would definitely die. However, that was only something that would happen in the future. The old palace master was still in Glory's Will Palace, and that indescribable power was still there.

This kind of power was nothing to the young cultivators of the Skysoul Palace. It was as if an unshakable mountain had smashed into their heads.

Just as everyone was looking at the Heaven's Will Palace Master and calling out to him, Ling Jian and the others were also looking at the old palace master at the same time.

Wherever they looked, they could see the place where the crowd had been split up. Thirteen people walked over. The leader of the group was... It was a middle-aged man. He had an extraordinary bearing. He was the current Palace Lord of the Skysoul Palace.

Although the head of the Skysoul Palace looked like a middle-aged man, he had a head of pale white hair that made him look extremely ancient.

In particular, the old Palace Lord's white hair looked extremely uncoordinated. It was not that he was unfathomable when his cultivation broke through the limit. Instead, it gave people a kind of sickly weakness. It looked extremely abnormal, even if it was a cultivator without any cultivation. Upon seeing this scene, one could sense that the Skysoul Palace Lord was in an extremely abnormal state.

Ling Jian was naturally no ordinary person. In fact, he was far superior to ordinary people. With just a glance, he was able to clearly see the old Palace Lord's state, and he knew that the old Palace Lord was in a rather abnormal state.

"No wonder the old Palace Lord's lifespan is approaching. So that's how it is."

Ling Jian looked at the Skysoul Palace Master in front of him and felt relieved.

After Ling Jian muttered a few words in his heart, everyone else also arrived in front of the crowd under the old palace lord's lead.

Apart from the Heaven Spirit Palace Master leading the group, the other twelve people were the patriarchs of the Twelve Great Clans of the Heaven Alliance's Spirit City.

Ling Jian's gaze swept across the twelve people too. Among them... Two of them had exceptionally powerful auras, which far surpassed the other ten people. However, compared to the Heaven Alliance's Leader... Astonishingly, they had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Ling Jian's gaze paused for a moment on the two of them. Although no one had introduced the two of them to him, he could also sense who they were.

Apart from the Yang Family's Patriarch Yang Lei and the Yin Family's Patriarch Yin Xie, who else could it be?

Besides the two heads, there was also another person who attracted Ling Jian's attention.

It was a middle-aged man with a black spear on his back. The spear was not very long, only half of his body. However, it gave people the impression that he was as tall as a giant pillar, and the way he dressed... It also seemed out of place with the aura he gave off.

He was wearing a casual loose robe. As he walked over, the wind produced a rustling sound.

He had a head of dazzling black hair, and his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders. However, this casual shoulder-length hair gave off an indescribable domineering and sharp feeling in the midst of the chaos. It was somewhat dazzling.

Although she did not make any movements at this moment, Ling Jian could sense that once the other party made a move, the most terrifying lightning attack would definitely erupt.

Although the man's cultivation base was not as powerful as the Yang lightning or the Yin energy, no one could ignore his strength. If she really allowed him to make a move, even if his cultivation base had just reached the peak of the Heavenly Dao Stage... He would definitely die under his hands.

"Luo Family's Patriarch."

Ling Jian also quickly recognized this person's identity. He was the Luo Family's Patriarch, one of the twelve great families. He was also one of the two remaining Patriarchs who had followed the young palace master.

"Alright, get up. Don't be too restrained."

The Heavenly Spirit Palace's Master spoke in a deep voice.

His voice was loud and powerful. It was indeed this kind of feeling when one suddenly heard it. However, if one listened carefully, one would discover that there were traces of weakness and powerlessness mixed within his voice.

Although many cultivators did as the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master said, their expressions were still extremely respectful. Their serious expressions caused one to feel a sense of solemnity.

At the same time, after the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master said this, his gaze swept across the many cultivators present. After which, his gaze slowly landed on Ling Jian.

"You are the Ling Jian that I mentioned, right?"

The Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master looked at Ling Jian and suddenly opened his mouth to ask.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Ling Jian to be mentioned by the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master in public.

Ling Jian also looked at the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master and said indifferently, "That's right, it's me."

Even when facing the Palace Master, Ling Jian was neither haughty nor humble. He acted indifferent as if the person who spoke to him was not the Palace Master of the Heavenly Spirit Palace.

He did not act extremely respectfully like most of the cultivators present. Instead, he remained indifferent.

This scene instantly caused countless cultivators present to be stunned. They completely did not expect that Ling Jian would still be able to act in such a manner even when facing the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master.

All of them frowned as they looked at Ling Jian at this moment. All of them felt that Ling Jian's actions were like this. After all, the person that appeared before them... After all, he was the famous Heavenly Spirit Palace Master. However... He was so ignored in front of Ling Jian.

Especially Zhan Potian, who was already somewhat angry with Ling Jian earlier, at this moment, even more flames of fury surged out from his heart. His gaze suddenly locked onto Ling Jian's body, and before the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Mistress could speak, he was the first to speak loudly and berate, "Ling Jian, how dare you speak to the Palace Master in such a way? Do you know that you're courting death? You really don't know what's good for you. Do you really think that the Lord Palace Master is magnanimous? Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you don't know what's good for you?"

Zhan Potian's voice was filled with thick displeasure. At this moment, if there was a chance... He would begin to attack Ling Jian in terms of words. His words could be said to be crafty, mean, and ruthless. If an ordinary cultivator heard such words, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Zhan Potian's face instantly became as cold as a blade when he said these words. At the same time, an extremely sharp aura burst out from his surroundings. It made him look like an incomparably sharp spear, as if he was going to attack Ling Jian.

Beside him, be it Shao Yearning or Yang Xueying, they were all sensed by Zhan Potian's performance. Instantly, they raised their eyebrows.

"It's fine."

The Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master spoke indifferently. Just these words alone caused Zhan Potian to feel extremely uncomfortable.

His face also directly fell into a deadlock. Originally, he had the intention of teaching Ling Jian a lesson, but now that the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Mistress said so, if he still didn't know what was good for him, then he would truly be courting death!

At this time, he could only unwillingly withdraw all the spiritual energy in his body, and at the same time, no longer paid attention to Ling Jian.

"I've always mentioned you to me, and you're a dragon and phoenix among men. Seeing you today, I now have a bit of confidence. It seems like you really are different from the others."

The Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master suddenly laughed loudly and looked at Ling Jian at this time.

At this moment, the atmosphere, which had eased up due to Ling Jian's indifferent attitude, once again stirred.

Everyone looked at the Heavenly Spirit Palace Lord in disbelief. Regardless of whether it was the first half or the second half of the sentence, they were all greatly shaken!

One had to know that the position of Young Palace Master in the hearts of many cultivators had always been flat like water. They never expected that he would actually be called Ling Jian, a dragon among men.

Moreover, the words of the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master were also extremely shocking. They did not expect that he would actually acknowledge Ling Jian. After all, who was the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master? That was the pinnacle expert of the entire Alliance Sky, someone who could be recognized by the Heavenly Spirit Palace Master. No matter what, it was something worth being proud of.

However, regarding this point, Ling Jian had been extremely calm from the beginning until the end. It was as if those words of praise did not have any feelings for him at all.

At this moment, the hearts of all the young geniuses were shaken. At the same time, other than them, even the Patriarchs and higher-ups of the twelve great clans were extremely shocked.

When everyone looked at Ling Jian, there was a strange feeling in their eyes. This was especially so for Yang Dong and Yin Feng. When their gazes locked onto Ling Jian, they suddenly revealed a trace of killing intent.

Shao Yiming's beautiful face turned slightly red. Even her snow white neck turned red at this moment. In an instant, the gazes of countless male cultivators were filled with an inexplicable feeling.

"Palace Master, this Young Master Ling doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary. Don't you think that your words are a little too full?"

At this moment, a faint voice sounded. This voice contained an extremely clear denial.

Hearing this, the brows of the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Lord involuntarily knitted together. His gaze shifted and instantly locked onto a middle aged man behind his left hand. The man was one of the two strongest people apart from her. The head of the Yang family, Yang Lei.

"That's right, I agree with the Yang Family's Patriarch's words. Yang Dong, Thoughts, and Yin Feng are all top geniuses of the Glory's Will Palace. Although this Young Master Ling also looks extraordinary, compared to the three of them... I think he's still a bit lacking. "

Not long after Yang Lei's voice faded, another indifferent voice suddenly sounded. The person who spoke was the Yin Family's head, Yin Feng.

Regarding this, the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master could only snort coldly and did not pay too much attention to him. The current him was naturally not at his peak condition in the past. He merely turned a blind eye to the two of them.

"Alright, today is the competition for the position of the palace. If there are no other matters, let's begin."

The Heaven Spirit Palace Master slowly spoke. Joy appeared on both the Yang Lightning and the evil clan head's faces after his words sounded. However, the next sentence that the Heaven Spirit Palace Master added caused their faces to instantly freeze.

"Although the rules of the competition for the position of a palace cannot be changed too much, the number of people participating this time around has to be changed. This time around... Only eighteen people from the three factions can participate. "

At this moment, in Heavenly Spirit Palace, after the words of the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Master sounded, it could be said that other than Ling Jian, everyone present had a slight change in expression.0

Similarly, even the Young Palace Master's expression changed slightly when he heard these words.

At the same time, regardless of whether it was Yang Dong or Yin Gu, their expressions were also shocked. Clearly, the shock they suffered in their hearts was also incomparably great.

"Palace lord, what does this mean? Why is there only this little number of people? Shouldn't there be thirty people?"

At this moment, the Yang Family's Patriarch, Yang Lei, looked at the Heavenly Spirit Palace's Palace Lord and immediately asked in a cold voice.

Even when facing the current Heaven Spirit Palace Lord, he didn't put him in his eyes at all. It was very obvious that the Heaven Spirit Palace Lord was already on the decline, so it naturally wouldn't make him think highly of him.
