Nan Gong Ling's expression gradually became ice-cold. The expression in his eyes was as sharp as a sword when he looked at the crowd in front of him.
Chu Qing was the Patriarch of the Hao Yue sect. He was the father of Chu Zhan Peng.
Han Xue Tian was the Patriarch of the Ice Village and Snow Mountain.
Teng Wu Shan was the Vice Patriarch of the Mo Shou sect.
Duan Tian Lang was the prince of the Imperial Family and also Duan Han's father who came to the Yun Hai sect recently and was expelled.
All of these people belonged to some of the most powerful Sects and Clans. They came during the Elite Disciple Exam and did not feel like they were coming with good intentions.
“Patriark Nan Gong Ling, all these people came to visit on the same day, this is a bit strange. ”
Duan Tian Lang was the one who stood on top of the gigantic sword. He was wearing an incredible plate of armor that made him look like a great ruler. The gigantic sword started to lose height and moved towards the viewing platform accompanied by the sound of the atmosphere tearing under its pressure.
At the same time, Chu Qing and Han Xue Tian also slowly descended onto the platform while looking extremely condescending to the person below.
Next to Duan Tian Lang, Duan Han looked at Nan Gong Ling looking indifferent. Nan Gong Ling had recently humiliated him and told him to leave the Yun Hai sect. Now he held a grudge against Nan Gong Ling and wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Oh hehehe, it's an honor for me to accept Duan Tian Lang in the Yun Hai sect. Think of it as his own home "said Nan Gong Ling with a cold smile on his face and he then added:" It's just that we didn't expect you to bring so many people. What brings you all to the Yun Hai sect? ”
“Not so long ago, that brat, Duan Han has already visited you. The purpose of his visit was also very clear to you. Your Majesty sees things we cannot do. Therefore, he was preparing to complete the construction of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. Therefore, he needed some of the most outstanding disciples in the country. All the sects had already answered and selected some of their disciples except the Yun Hai sect.
When he finished speaking, Duan Tian Lang smiled and added nothing.
"Huh?" Nan Gong Ling made a strange face. Chu Qing, Han Xue Tian and all these people were extremely strong. Their children are also very talented. If they sent disciples there then they would be under the control of the Imperial Clan and as a consequence, would not belong to the Yun Hai sect again in the future.
But Chu Qing noticed that Duan Tian Lang had spoken in an extremely calm and gentle tone, which was why Nan Gong Ling did not understand what he meant.
"Alright, what did Duan Tian Lang propose?"nan Gong Ling asked.
"Since Nan Gong Ling has not been willing to hand over some of his best disciples, I personally came on behalf of His Majesty to choose for myself. Today was the day of the Elite Disciple Exam in the Yun Hai Sect. I will be able to see your strongest disciples with my own eyes and pick them out one after another, Duan Tian Lang said tightly.
The facial expressions of every member of the Yun Hai sect suddenly changed. How savage! What place do they think this Yun Hai sect is? What gave them the right to choose geniuses at will?
"What happens if I disagree?"nan Gong Ling said as her voice grew colder.
"Nan Gong Ling will agree just like all the other Ancestors who also agree.Said Duan Tian Lang as he was filled with confidence. He spoke as if his words were law and no one could refute him.
"Nan Gong Ling was in no hurry to choose a disciple from the Elite Disciple Exam but her selection should not be too fast either. The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue would not accept mediocre disciples. They would only accept the best and most outstanding disciples of the entire Xue Yue Country. The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue would give them access to the best cultivation pills, the best weapons, and the best teachers available. Resources will be almost endless.
There will also be the possibility to learn the most powerful skills available. They would be able to choose between a large number of martial skills and later on they would actually become the pillars of the country. ”
Duan Tian Lang said those words to all the Yun Hai sect disciples. He tried to tempt them with immense wealth. Gaining access to an infinite number of weapons, pills, and skills ... All the disciples of the Tun Hai sect would obviously be tempted, who would resist such a wonderful opportunity?
They came to the Yun Hai Sect for the sake of cultivating, they just wanted to be strong. If the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue could provide them with a better cultivation environment as well as much better cultivation facilities, what reason would they have to stay in the Yun Hai Sect for longer?
At that moment, many disciples became agitated. Many disciples were prepared to give their best in order to be accepted into the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue.
"Percela! ”
Nan Gong Ling cursed. Duan Tian Lang was trying to cause a rift within this Yun Hai sect. It was really a devious and cruel plan.
According to Nan Gong Ling's view, they had deliberately provoked the Yun Hai sect with just his lure.
“I wonder who dares to oppose the Yun Hai Sect. "think Nan Gong Ling. He then looked at Duan Tian Lang and said: "Since Duan Tian Lang wants to watch the Elite Disciple Exam, I will allow you to stay and watch! ”
“Rank battles for ordinary disciples and core disciples are postponed for another day. Today, only elite disciples could fight. ”
The crowd burst into commotion when they heard Nan Gong but a moment after, they understood why he made that decision.
The ordinary disciples were too weak that the Yun Hai sect would lose face. The core disciple was the heart of the Yun Hai sect and he could not afford to lose these disciples.
There would not be much time before a core disciple could become a new pillar within the Sect. Moreover, it would be unwise to show core disciple strength to unwelcome guests. Therefore, showing the elite disciples was the most suitable decision.
Duan Tian Lang smiled. Would Nan Gong Ling's actions make a difference?
"Elite disciples, enter the Life and Death Arena! and make the lines in the order as indicated by the ranking list. "said Nan Gong Ling.
The elite disciples, whose names were on the ranking list consisted of eighty-one disciples. The entire crowd was staring at them in admiration. They would have the opportunity to bring honor to themselves and the sect.
“I will also change the rules of the second round of the Elite Disciple Exam. If you want to be on the ranking list, you have to challenge someone who is already on the ranking list. If you win, you will be ranked. No student can be challenged twice. ”
Nan Gong Ling continued to speak. The crowd exploded again. Many people were disappointed and gave up on all hope. This round was an opportunity for the disciples to test themselves and their own strength. However, the new rules of the exam have changed. Many ordinary disciples no longer had the chance to test themselves against elite disciples.
"This battle will all fight to the death. There are no limits. ”
If they challenged the stronger ones of the elite disciples then they could lose the battle and live their lives with him. There was no choice to give up, they would be slaughtered.
Winner means being able to see the name of a person in the elite disciple ranking list. Losing had serious consequences to the extent that a merciless opponent could end the disciples' lives. That is the price to pay for losing. (Ahh we want to replace all these monotonous words, just yes we are self-aware, just wait for the original novel by the author, again the edit stage and prospects. Huh!)
"That's dangerous! ”
“Gambling with one's life to bet on. I'll try again next year.”
Countless number of disciples shook their heads after the previous statement. Many of them agreed on the fact that risking one's life to join the ranking list was not a worthwhile risk.
"Lin Feng, the Patriarch is really ruthless. I have just joined the elite disciples but I am also only at the first Ling Qi layer. On the list consisting of eighty-one names, the weakest had broken through to the second Ling Qi layer. I have no chance of winning at all. ”
Han Man smiled wryly. He thought he would get the chance to fight as much as he could during the Elite Disciple Exam but did not expect it to happen like this.
Lin Feng had a different feeling. This new rule would probably lead to an incredible battle. Not only would they join bravely, but they would also become the most outstanding members of this sect. Only outstanding disciples would risk their lives. That was what Nan Gong Ling wanted to see. He wanted to show these people how strong his disciples were.
"Total everything there are eighty-one disciples on the ranking list right now on the battle stage in the Life and Death Arena. Now you can challenge any of them and go to the battle stage in the middle of the arena!”
When Nan Gong Ling finished speaking, he sat down and observed Duan Tian Lang.
"Luo Lie was willing to challenge You Lin to a fight. ”
A silhouette stepped onto the fighting stage. Since it was impossible to challenge the same person twice, the first person had an enormous advantage over the other disciples since he could challenge someone of extremely low rank. You Lin was a rank eighty disciple.
At that moment, You Lin had an ugly facial expression. Being the first to be challenged ..it was an insult.
“Whoever chooses to challenge us ranked disciples, death will be his punishment. ”
Said Ren Wen Yan who was standing in front of everyone on the fighting stage. He had explained to all the disciples in a cold tone that rank disciples would kill all their challengers.
"Agreed.'' You Ling said as she jumped onto the battle stage. He immediately began to unleash all of his skills using his full strength. Even if Wen Ren Yan did not say, You Lin had already planned to kill his opponent from the start.
...…………...
The Stormy Gorge became very calm.
The crowd was watching the battle stage in the Life and Death Arena. The battle stage was completely red with blood. Lying on the battle stage was a pile of corpses. All these corpses were the corpses of the challengers. They all lost and were killed without exception. They did not take out the corpse but left it there as a reminder to anyone who issued a challenge. This would be the place where they entered their eternal rest.
Losing your challenge would mean death.
The lessons are cruel and bloody. Slowly, those who wanted to challenge these ranked disciples slowly dwindled.
The disciples that were challenged were those that were below the rank. From then on, if others wanted to challenge the elite disciples of this rank, they would have to challenge those who were even higher on the ranking list.
As expected of rank elite disciples, none of them were mediocre. Even You Lin who was ranked eighty-one was extremely strong.
Nan Gong Ling was still sitting indifferently looking at the battle stage. That bloody lesson would show these young disciples just how difficult, cruel and brutal the path of cultivation was.
On the path of cultivation, only those with a persistent heart, as well as a determination and willpower as strong as a rock, could advance boldly. Those who had a fear of blood would not last long on the path of cultivation. Those who are too kind will be killed for their foolishness. This is not a world that can be underestimated with lighthearted ideals.
"A group of ugly cultivators trying in vain to obtain a rank is enough to make you all desperate?"
Said Wen Ren Yan while pointing to the five corpses on the stage. He then glanced wickedly at the crowd. He mocked every elite disciple who was not on the ranking list.
He was a top ranked elite disciple and none of these five people deserved his time.
All the elite disciples were furious but at the same time they felt helpless. They could not believe Wen Ren Yan's harsh words but he was a genius whose strength was recognized by everyone. There were very few people who dared to provoke him.
"Patriark, I think you can make a new ranking list now. They were all pitiful and looked desperate. ”
Wen Ren Yan looked at Nan Gong Ling as he insulted the other elite disciples to make himself look better.
Nan Gong Ling looked around the crowd and slightly nodded. Wen Ren Yan was really very arrogant but he was right, the Yun Hai sect did not have many geniuses. Inevitably, sooner or later he would become one of the pillars in the sect.
"Silly, you're totally ridiculous. ”
A loud sound was heard spreading in the atmosphere. It made the crowd shiver.
Wen Ren Yan was shocked. He looked around to see who was saying these words to him.
"You again!''said Wen Ren Yan with killing intent in his eyes. "What's ridiculous?"
“You are a top ranked elite disciple. And yet you're still so presumptuous. You looked down on the other disciples while calling them names, calling them nonsense ... but at first when you started practicing cultivation, were you as strong as you are now? Were you born as an unrivalled master of the Ling Qi layer? Have you ever considered that for anyone else, you might have become the worst cultivator! "
Lin Feng had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth as he continued to cast insults. Wen Ren Yan was extremely arrogant. Lin Feng had said these words to make him realize that the world was bigger than what he knew. Wen Ren Yan was like a frog stuck at the bottom of a well, he had no idea how vast the sky was.
