Eliminate Lin Dong?
With the Year-End Competition ending in Lin Langtian's victory over Ling Chi, the position of Spirit General of the Fire Division finally fell into Lin Langtian's hands.
If this matter were to spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar within the Yuan Sect.
It is important to know that there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Yuan Sect, but those standing at the top of the pyramid are undoubtedly the Three Young Kings and the Eight Spirit Generals.
These eleven individuals have surpassed most of the Yuan Sect stewards in status, holding a position of great prestige and prestige.
Lin Langtian had only been a member of the Yuan Sect for less than half a year, and in a sense, he was still a new disciple. However, to everyone's surprise, he defeated Ling Chi and became Fire Division Spirit General, a position above all others.
The next moment, Lin Langtian leaped up and landed on the conspicuous high platform where Ling Chi had previously been.
This is the exclusive seat for the Spirit General, and it will be Lin Langtian's exclusive seat during future Fire Division Grand Competition. It is a symbol of status and position.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother."
At this moment, one of Lin Langtian's Personal Disciple Grand Disciple also showed a slightly stiff smile and smiled at Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian turned around and only remembered that the person in front of him was a Personal Disciple Grand Disciple named Song Yun, whose strength and seniority were quite profound among the eight Personal Disciple Grand Disciple.
With the attitude that one shouldn't hit a smiling face, Lin Langtian said with a faint smile, "So it's Junior Brother Song."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun nodded slightly. If he had previously looked down on Lin Langtian because of his seniority, he had now completely eliminated that mentality.
The astonishing combat power Lin Langtian displayed in the previous battle made him no longer dare to underestimate him and even feel a sense of awe.
Therefore, even though calling him "Senior Brother" was somewhat unwilling, Song Yun knew that strength was paramount in the Yuan Sect, and if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Langtian would be someone he looked up to in the future.
After Song Yun, the other Personal Disciple Grand Disciple looked at each other and then also tried to curry favor with Lin Langtian.
Regardless of their true feelings, at least on the surface, Lin Langtian, as the newly appointed Spirit General of the Fire Division, has already surpassed them in status.
Even Zhang Hao, who had always been at odds with Lin Langtian, had his face flushed red like a pig's liver and was bowing and scraping before Lin Langtian.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly, then waved his hand lightly at everyone. As for Zhang Hao, he did not immediately seek trouble with him.
With so many eyes watching, as a Spirit General, he naturally had to show his composure.
There's no need to worry about not having another chance to deal with Zhang Hao.
"Hehe, we're all fellow disciples, no need to be so polite."
Although I joined the Yuan Sect relatively late, please rest assured, I will not retaliate unless provoked, and we will all look after each other.
Faced with the smiles of Song Yun and the others, Lin Langtian did not hold back his friendliness. Now that he was Fire Division Spirit General, his status and identity had greatly improved, and he naturally wanted to win over a group of people of his own.
Although Yuan Sect secretly allied itself with the extraterrestrial Evil Demon, it was merely a conspiracy of the Three Grand Masters. To ordinary Yuan Sect disciples, they were just geniuses from various dynasties in the Eastern Xuan Region, unaware of the despicable schemes of the higher-ups.
Therefore, for Lin Langtian, the higher-ups of the Yuan Sect were extremely unreliable, but these ordinary disciples were ones he could win over.
If one day the Yuan Sect's conspiracy to join the Evil Demon is exposed and they become a universally condemned entity, Lin Langtian might just be able to set things right, replace the Three Grand Masters, and take control of the Yuan Sect himself!
At the same time, looking at Lin Langtian's kind smile, Song Yun and the others also smiled and nodded, feeling a little moved.
Lin Langtian's previous actions made them understand the courage and decisiveness inherent in him, and they had also heard about the cruelty of the Hundred Dynasties War.
The effort Lin Langtian made to rise from the Low-level Dynasty to achieve such a feat, if explained in detail, would be enough to shock them.
But now, seeing Lin Langtian rise step by step, even becoming the new Spirit General of the Fire Division, they truly believe in how terrifying Lin Langtian is.
"This Senior Brother Lin has extraordinary potential. I'm sure that before long, even the Three Young Kings might not be able to defeat him." Song Yun and the other four exchanged glances, all of them seeing this in each other's eyes.
Only Zhang Hao's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After greeting Song Yun and the others, Lin Langtian sat down cross-legged on the stone platform and then looked up.
The height of the stone platform allowed him to look down over the entire mountaintop, and in his field of vision was a sea of people, tens of thousands of Fire Division disciples, sitting quietly around him, their gazes focused on him, filled with deep awe.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Langtian joined the Yuan Sect.
In other Super Sect, even if Lin Langtian had enough strength, he wouldn't have been able to climb the ranks so quickly due to seniority and other reasons.
Only the Yuan Sect, which values strength above all else, can allow Lin Langtian to fully utilize his abilities and seize more power and benefits.
While Lin Langtian sat on the high platform reserved for the Fire Division Spirit General and looked out, an hour later, Fen Cang and other high-ranking members of the Fire Division also completed the promotion of nearly a hundred people from registered disciples to Fire Division disciples.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian also stood up from the stone platform, stretched, and was about to leave with Mo Tie and the others when Fen Cang appeared beside him.
"Lin Langtian, you managed to replace Ling Chi as my Fire Division Spirit General in just half a year. You must have some secrets."
Moreover, the Sect Leader even bestowed upon you the trunk of the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree Trunk, something those guys from the Wood Division had been asking for for a long time, only to be refused by the Sect Leader."
Fen Cang Lin Langtian with his cloudy old eyes and said.
"Uncle-Master Fen Cang, you flatter me. I have only achieved this through diligent cultivation. As for the reason why the Sect Leader bestowed upon me the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree Trunk, I am not sure. Perhaps it is because he saw that I have good talent and therefore rewarded me."
Lin Langtian smiled faintly. Although Fen Cang was the head of the Fire Division and held a very high status, Lin Langtian had now become Spirit General, so he was not as restrained in front of him as before.
Although the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree Trunk is the vessel through which Ren Yuanzi monitors himself, Fen Cang certainly does not know the details. On the contrary, Lin Langtian can use this to demonstrate his extraordinary relationship with Ren Yuanzi, making Fen Cang wary.
Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Langtian's ambiguous words, Fen Cang frowned slightly.
After all, Lin Langtian's talent is indeed evident to all, and he even shows signs of being comparable to the Three Young Kings. It is not impossible that Ren Yuanzi would cherish his talent.
Thinking of this, Fen Cang's attitude softened slightly. He then pondered for a moment and said, "Now that you are Fire Division Spirit General, you should cultivate diligently. Three months from now, the Flame Demon Space will open, and the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame will be stored inside."
As Fire Division Spirit General, you already have the opportunity to enter the Flame Demon Space. As for whether you can subdue the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame, that may depend on your fate.
"Three months later, in the Flame Demon Space."
Lin Langtian was stunned for a moment, then a fiery look surged in the depths of his eyes.
One of his main purposes in coming to the Yuan Sect was for this Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame. Now that he has successfully ascended to the position of Spirit General, this mysterious Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame is finally beckoning to him.
"Hmph, even if you become Spirit General, don't have too much hope of subduing the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame. It's something that none of the Fire Division's predecessors have been able to do. You're so young, you shouldn't be too ambitious."
At this moment, the Deputy Chief Yan Ba also came over. He was a violent and arrogant man who had always been somewhat hostile to Lin Langtian, who was talking big.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian frowned slightly, but then said calmly, "It's all up to human effort. What Uncle Yan can't do, others can do as well."
Back in the Blood Horn Region, Lin Langtian had already killed Mu Ku at the Life Profound Stage Small Success. Therefore, in his eyes, Yan Ba was just a brainless brute.
"What an arrogant brat!"
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's rebuttal, Yan Ba's face darkened, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
Within the vast Fire Division and even the Yuan Sect, apart from the Three Young Kings, probably no other disciple would dare to speak to him like that.
Seeing this, Song Yun and the others couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Yan Ba's temper is well-known in the Yuan Sect. He has a fiery personality that can explode at the slightest provocation, and even the leaders of the other departments avoid him like the plague.
Unexpectedly, Lin Langtian dared to go head-to-head with Yan Ba as soon as he ascended to the position of Spirit General, even though the latter had the strength of the Life Profound Stage.
"Alright, Yan Ba, as the Deputy Chief of the Fire Division, you shouldn't be so petty with a disciple." Just as the atmosphere on the field was getting tense, Fen Cang suddenly spoke up.
As the head of the Fire Division and Life Profound Stage Great Success, Fen Cang's words undoubtedly carry great weight within the Fire Division.
Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, even Yan Ba had no choice but to obey.
However, given Yan Ba's personality, how could he easily let Lin Langtian off the hook? He immediately stared intently at Lin Langtian and sneered, "Since the chieftain is speaking up for you, I will temporarily forgive your offense."
"But brat, if you can't subdue the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame, then I'll show you what true respect for your master is!"
After saying this, Yan Ba glanced coldly at Lin Langtian, then snorted and turned to leave.
Watching Yan Ba's departing figure, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness appearing in them.
After joining the Yuan Sect, I relied solely on my own hard work in cultivation. What does this Yan Ba have to do with me? It's ridiculous that this guy would mention respecting teachers in front of me.
I will not offend others unless they offend me. If Yan Ba really provokes me in the future, he will only become the second Mu Ku.
Fen Cang's old eyes remained half-closed as he witnessed this scene, clearly showing no intention of mediating. Only after Yan Ba had walked away Fen Cang speak slowly.
"By the way, shortly after the Flame Demon Space opens, the Division Trial will be held. This is a grand competition jointly organized by the Yuan Gate Eight Divisions. How well our Fire Division performs this time may depend on you few."
At this point, Fen Cang deliberately focused his gaze on Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian, now a Fire Division Spirit General, is arguably the number one among the Fire Division disciples. His strength and achievements are of paramount importance.
Although Fen Cang also couldn't quite figure out Lin Langtian, no matter what, if Lin Langtian, as Fire Division Spirit General, won a championship for the Fire Division, it would be a very prestigious thing for Fen Cang.
"Division Trial..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly.
With his current strength, he no longer takes the other Spirit General seriously; he can easily win the championship in a mere preliminary Division Trial.
"Will the Three Young Kings participate in the departmental competition?" Lin Langtian suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something.
"The Three Young Kings..." Upon hearing Lin Langtian's question, Fen Cang slightly, then pondered and said, "As the most talented people in our Yuan Sect, the Three Young Kings were personally trained by the three Sect Leader, so their strength is exceptionally strong."
Based on past examples of the Division Trial, the Three Young Kings generally wouldn't participate in such competitions, since no disciple within the Yuan Sect was qualified to be their opponent.
"Oh, the Three Young Kings won't be participating..." Lin Langtian thought to himself with a hint of regret.
After all, among the current Yuan Sect, only the Three Young Kings can put some pressure on him.
In particular, Yuan Cang, Little Yuan King leader of the Three Young Kings, has probably reached the level of the Life Profound Stage. Even Lin Langtian, without using the Demon Seed, is probably no match for Yuan Cang.
"By the way, do you know Lin Dong from the Dao Sect?" Fen Cang suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said half-truthfully, "We know each other. We come from the same family, but I come from the main family and Lin Dong comes from a branch family, so we are not very familiar with each other."
"According to some intelligence from my Yuan Sect some time ago, Lin Dong has made quite a name for himself in the Blood Rock Land. Under the siege of the Demon Seal Group and many powerful figures, he actually injured Yao Ling, who was ranked fourth on the Sect Wanted List."
Although Yao Ling was ranked fourth on the Sect Wanted List, his true identity was a spies planted by our Yuan Sect in the Blood Rock Land. With his strength at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, he was once a formidable steward in the Yuan Sect. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a new disciple of the Dao Sect.
"There is an inextricable hatred between my Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect. We have long regarded each other as great enemies. The incident at Blood Rock Land has only boosted the prestige of the Dao Sect and disgraced my Yuan Sect..." At this point, Fen Cang narrowed his cloudy old eyes slightly and said coldly.
"Therefore, regardless of your previous relationship with Lin Dong, you are now Spirit General of the Yuan Sect, while Lin Dong is a member of the Dao Sect. I hope that when you encounter Lin Dong next time, you can eliminate this scourge as soon as possible and never let him grow stronger!"
In the end, Fen Cang stared intently at Lin Langtian, as if trying to discern the latter's inner thoughts.
Lin Langtian was somewhat surprised by the news Fen Cang told him, but he wasn't too surprised in his heart.
After all, no one probably understands Lin Dong's talent and growth rate better than him. The battle in the Blood Rock Land of the original timeline was what made Lin Dong initially famous in the Eastern Xuan Region.
However, faced with the coercion of the old ghost Fen Cang, Lin Langtian could only hide his innermost thoughts and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Uncle-Master Fen. Ever since I joined the Yuan Sect, I have always prioritized the interests of the Yuan Sect. Next time I see Lin Dong, I will not hold back!"
