Chapter 3776 - Murong Yin Yue



Chapter 3776 Murong Yin Yue

As a lord-rank force with a long history, the Linghu clan naturally had strict rules that even the clan leader had to adhere to. After all, the future of the clan would be affected if they had an incompetent leader. Hence, supreme elders and core elders could request the removal of the clan leader under certain circumstances. As long as half of the number was in agreement, a new clan leader would then be selected through a round of voting.

In a relatively remote and quiet courtyard.

“Elder Zheng Xing.” Ling Hu Ren Jie stood in the courtyard as he looked at a middle-aged man who was in the midst of carving something on one of the pillars of the pavilion.

The middle-aged man was tall and burly, and he was dressed in a long green robe. He had pair of thick eyebrows that made him look valiant, and he had a dignified air about him. He was none other than the strongest powerhouse in the Linghu clan.

As a lord-rank force with a long history, the Linghu clan naturally had strict rules and regulations that even their clan leader was not exempted from. The future of the clan would be jeopardized if their clan leader was incompetent as a leader. Hence, the core elders and supreme elders could issue a request to remove the clan leader during a critical moment as long as more than half of them concurred and a new clan leader would be selected by them through a voting session. “Elder Zheng Xing.”

In a relatively remote and quiet mansion, the Linghu clan’s leader, Linghu Ren Jie was standing in the front courtyard looking at a middle-aged man who was carving on one of the pillars on a gazebo. The tall and burly middle-aged man wore a long green robe. He carried a dignified air with a pair of sword-shaped brows. He was none other than Linghu Zheng Xing, the strongest elder in the Linghu clan.

After a dozen breaths, Linghu Zheng Xing stopped carving and looked at Linghu Ren Jie with a profound gaze before he asked, “Is it worth it?”

“Yes, it is,” Linghu Ren Jie replied solemnly.

Linghu Zheng Xing nodded. “Since Linghu Huan and Linghu Heng decided to help you as well, there’s no reason for me not to say anything. Moreover, I think Duan Ling Tian’s not an ungrateful person. He’s someone worth investing in.”

“The position of clan leader isn’t important to me,” Linghu Ren Jie said as he shook his head, “I’m just eager to see how high he can soar. I have no doubt he won’t forget our Linghu clan no matter how high he soars in the future, considering what we’ve done for him. I need you and the others to help me keep this a secret for now. I don’t want the other elders to cause a commotion about the divine rocks before Duan Ling Tian leaves for the Flying Dragon Sect. It’ll affect his cultivation, after all. In my opinion, his future is limitless, and it’s an honor for me to be a part of his journey. My efforts won’t be in vain when he becomes famous in the future.”

Linghu Ren Jie spoke very confidently with a smile on his face.

“Alright. It seems like you’ve made up your mind.” Linghu Zheng Xing nodded. “Rest assured, I’ll help you with this matter.”

“Thank you, Elder Zheng Xing,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a bow before he took his leave.

After Linghu Ren Jie left, Linghu Zheng Xing shook his head and muttered to himself, “Duan Ling Tian is really charismatic. Ren Jie worked and struggled so hard to become the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, but Ren Jie is willing to give up his position as the clan leader.”

At this time, Linghu Zheng Xing remembered the decisive, spirited, and determined lad who fought for the position of the Clan Leader in the past. Who knew that lad would not willingly give up his position because of an outsider?

After returning to his courtyard from the chamber of laws, Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Linghu Ren Jie to thank him. Subsequently, he spent the rest of his time creating his doppelganger. The process was not complex, but it took a lot of time. Apart from that, a large amount of Divine Energy was needed to be imbued into the law before creating a doppelganger. The process would be considered complete once the doppelganger was created and could be controlled at will.

The difficulty of the process would increase accordingly with one’s comprehension of the law. To create a doppelganger from the law of space, it would take longer than to create a doppelganger from the other laws he comprehended.

One’s law would not be affected by the existence of the doppelganger. In a fight, even if one used a doppelganger, one would still be able to exert the full strength of the law.

“The strongest doppelganger I can create now is definitely one using the law of space. It’s the only one that can help me during a battle. Hopefully, I can create it before leaving for the Flying Dragon Sect. With it, I won’t have to use my other trump cards during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest and still get a good ranking.’

Duan Ling Tian’s goal was, naturally, to rank first in the Latent Dragon Contest if possible. However, he still needed to assess the situation first and to weigh the pros and cons before he decided if it was worth it to show more of his capabilities just to rank first in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. The Realms of Gods were fraught with danger. It was still best for him to hide his strength as much as he could. With the doppelganger, he would be able to hide much of his strength.

“Let’s start now…”

For the rest of the time, Duan Ling Tian entered closed-door cultivation to create a doppelganger from the law of space before the entrance examination of the Flying Dragon Sect.

In the Murong clan.

The younger generation had been busy discussing the Flying Dragon Sect’s Latent Dragon Grand Contest recently since the Flying Dragon Sect’s entrance examination was drawing closer.

“I hope I can pass the test and join the Flying Dragon Sect. Even if I can only join as an outer disciple, I’ll still be rewarded if I join our clan’s faction in the sect,” a disciple of the Murong clan said excitedly.

Another one lamented, “Based on my strength, it’d be challenging for me to join the Flying Dragon Sect even as an outer disciple. I’ve already failed once 100 years ago, but I’ll give it another try again.”

Id

“Hey, in your opinion, how many of us will be able to pass the test and become an inner disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect?”

“I think fewer than five people are capable of that. We have two direct descendants in the clan who missed the Flying Dragon Sect’s recruitment previously because they were in closed-door cultivation. I think they stand a good chance of becoming inner disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect.”

At this time, a young man stood in the square, listening to the disciples’ conversations. His eyes were filled with anticipation. He was none other than Hou Qing Ning, the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect.

‘I’ll be leaving for the Flying Dragon Sect in a month for the recruitment. At that time, I’ll be able to meet Duan Ling Tian again. I’ve not seen him for 20 years.’

After Hou Qing Ning left the Linghu clan and dropped out of the Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy, he had returned to the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect before joining the Murong clan.

When a slender figure approached Hou Qing Ning, everyone’s attention turned to the duo immediately.

“Hou Qing Ning.”

Hou Qing Ning smiled wryly when he saw the slender woman who was walking toward him. “Third Miss.”

The woman was tall, slender, and beautiful. She was Murong Yin Yue, the only daughter of Murong Yun Liu, the Clan Leader of the Murong clan.

Murong Yun had three children, and he doted on his only daughter, who was also the youngest, the most.

Hou Qing Ning had been feeling exasperated because Murong Yin Yue, the Murong clan’s Third Young Miss, had been looking for him frequently ever since he joined the Murong clan. Not only did she affect his cultivation, but because of her, he was hated by the male disciples in the Murong clan. After all, Murong Yin Yue was the girl of their dreams. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also the clan leader’s daughter. Whoever was able to marry her would surely be able to rise swiftly in ranks.

“Hou Qing Ning, are you planning to participate in the test for outer disciples or inner disciples?” Murong Yin Yue asked with a smile on her face.

The male disciples in the surroundings stared at Murong Yin Yue’s dimples, completely mesmerized. However, their gazes were as sharp as knives when they turned to look at Hou Qing Ning. It was as though they could not wait to rip him into pieces.

“I’ll be participating in the inner disciple’s test. If I fail, then I’ll participate in the outer disciple’s test,” Hou Qing Ning replied truthfully despite not wanting any further interactions with Murong Yin Yue.

“So you’re really determined to join the Flying Dragon Sec?” Murong Yin Yue asked with a slight frown on her face, “If that’s the case, I won’t be able to see you any more if I don’t pass the inner disciple’s test.”

In the Murong clan, direct descendants could only stay and cultivate in the clan unless they managed to become inner disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect. This was because as direct descendants of the Murong clan, they had their status to uphold. They would become a laughingstock if they were only outer disciples in the Flying Dragon Sect. Apart from that, as direct descendants, the resources they would receive would be better in the Murong clan compared to the resources they would receive as outer disciples in the Flying Dragon Sect.

‘It’ll be better if we don’t ever meet again,’ Hou Qing Ning thought to himself inwardly upon hearing Murong Yin Yue’s words. Naturally, he did not dare to say those words out loud. In fact, he did not know what Murong Yin Yue liked about him since he had nothing to offer. Moreover, status-wise, he was inferior to her since he was only the Young Master of a king-rank force, unlike the lord-rank Murong clan.
