Advancement and Ying Xuanzi

Yuan Domain, Yuan Sect.

Fire Division.

On the wide avenue, a group of people slowly walked by. On the chest of each person was a white badge with a black sun on it. The black and white alternated, like the rise and fall of yin and yang. This kind of mark was clearly the Yuan Sect, the most powerful Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region!

This group of people possessed a powerful aura and high morale. Each of them was a strong person above the Six Yuan Nirvana Stage. However, at this moment, they all looked at the figure at the front with utmost respect.

This person was dressed in a blue robe, and there was also a white badge on his chest.

However, the edge of the badge is wrapped with gold thread, which makes it look quite noble.

Those familiar with the Yuan Sect attire would know that only the most elite disciples among the Yuan Gate Eight Divisions are qualified to wear this badge.

The top disciples among those Eight Divisions are also known as the Eight Spirit Generals!

This man in blue robes is Lin Langtian, the newly appointed Spirit General of the Fire Division!

This group was Lin Langtian and his entourage, who had traveled thousands of miles from Blood Rock Land and spent half a month returning to the Yuan Sect.

Having witnessed Lin Langtian's formidable strength and received his generous rewards after their journey through Blood Rock Land, all the Fire Division disciples, including Lin Langtian Song Yun Pang Lie, were now completely convinced of Lin Langtian's new Spirit General.

After all, Lin Langtian has shown unparalleled charm in both strength and methods. In comparison, the cruel and ruthless methods of the previous Spirit General Ling Chi only earned people's awe, but not their admiration.

As Lin Langtian and his group ventured deeper into the core area, they attracted increasing attention from the Fire Division disciples.

When the disciples of the Fire Division saw the young man in the lead, they were slightly taken aback at first, but then their faces were filled with surprise and admiration.

"Senior Brother!"

Over the past two weeks, news of Lin Langtian's defeat of Wang Yan has been relayed back to the Yuan Sect through various channels. Once this news spread, it immediately caused quite a stir within the sect.

After all, Wang Yan had killed many Yuan Sect disciples over the years. Many Yuan Sect members had senior or junior brothers who died at his hands. Due to such ruthless killing, Wang Yan even had the title of "King Yama" in the Yuan Sect.

If anyone else dared to offend the Yuan Sect like this, they would have been buried three feet high by now. But this Wang Yan not only has an extraordinary background, coming from the Heaven Hall of the Dao Sect, but also possesses considerable strength and formidable combat power, ranking second on the Blood Rock Land Sect Wanted List.

On one occasion, Yuan Sect even sent three deacons to try to capture Wang Yan, but not only did the mission fail, one of them was even killed. This was a great disgrace to the Yuan Sect.

Now that Lin Langtian has stepped in and decisively defeated Wang Yan, this not only greatly enhances the prestige of the Yuan Sect, but is also an unparalleled honor for the Fire Division.

Therefore, even though Lin Langtian had only recently assumed the position of Spirit General, his reputation had already spread throughout the entire Yuan Sect, and he even had the potential to be hailed as the leader of the eight great Spirit General.

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow at the enthusiastic crowd of Fire Division disciples around him, then realized something and shook his head slightly.

Indeed, only those with strength can possess everything.

At this moment, Lin Langtian suddenly spotted Mo Tie and the others in the crowd. At the same time, Mo Tie and the others, with joyful expressions, quickly rushed towards Lin Langtian's location.

"During my absence, you all seemed to have encountered no problems, did you?" Lin Langtian asked with a smile.

"Hehe, ever since you became Spirit General, Senior Brother, those lackeys of Zhang Hao have stopped bothering us." Mo Tie shook his head and chuckled.

"Senior Brother, you're really something now. The whole Yuan Sect is talking about you. They say you almost killed Wang Yan, who was a powerful expert at the Nine-Yuan Nirvana Stage."

"Over the years, Wang Yan has killed countless disciples of my Yuan Sect. Even the Sect Leader and his men sent several stewards, but they still couldn't capture him. I never expected that you, Senior Brother, would succeed so easily with just one step..." Liu Yuan exclaimed, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration as he looked at Lin Langtian.

"It is said that the Gold Division Spirit General and the Human Division Spirit General, who are on good terms with Ling Chi, were originally dissatisfied with your rise to the top, Senior Brother. However, after such achievements were reported, those people immediately shut their mouths..." Ling Zhi smiled.

'Even we benefit from Senior Brother's influence. Now, those senior disciples not only stop bullying us, but they've even started to curry favor with us, all in an effort to get on your Senior Brother...'

Lin Langtian looked at the excited, flushed faces of Mo Tie and the others, and smiled faintly. Although this mission did not yield much practical value, it made his name known in one fell swoop, which could be considered an unconventional gain.

As Lin Langtian was thinking this, an old man in a gray robe appeared out of nowhere and suddenly descended in front of Lin Langtian.

"Elder Ye, it's you..." Lin Langtian was taken aback when he saw the gray-robed old man, but he immediately recognized him.

This gray-robed old man was one of the high-ranking members of the Fire Division, possessing the strength of Half-Step Life Profound Stage. However, he had always followed Fen Cang, so Lin Langtian had no connection with him.

At this moment, the gray-robed old man looked at Lin Langtian, a strange look flashing in his old eyes. After all, the latter's defeat of Wang Yan was the biggest news in the Yuan Sect during this period.

As a newcomer who had only joined the Yuan Sect for half a year, Lin Langtian not only quickly rose from a personal disciple to the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, but has now replaced Ling Chi as Spirit General.

Moreover, after the battle at Blood Rock Land, Lin Langtian defeated Wang Yan of King Yama '. His prestige among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect is now probably second only to the Three Young Kings.

Such a rapid growth rate even shocked the gray-robed elder named Elder Ye.

After slowly calming his mind, the gray-robed elder said softly to Lin Langtian, "Nephew Lin, although you did not succeed in killing Wang Yan during your trip to Blood Rock Land, you did severely injure him. This greatly dampened the morale of the Dao Sect, and the three Sect Leader and Senior Fen are very pleased about it."

Therefore, I have come here on the orders of the Three Grand Masters and Senior Fen, specifically to present you with the reward for this mission.

"Oh, the awards ceremony? What about Uncle-Master Fen?" Lin Langtian frowned slightly upon hearing this, asking in confusion.

Even if the Three Grand Masters don't personally attend to the reward ceremony, shouldn't Fen Cang, the head of the Fire Division, be present? Sending just a steward like this, is the reward too meager and unworthy of recognition?

"Hehe, what a coincidence, Senior Fen just went into seclusion a few days ago." The gray-robed elder seemed to have seen through Lin Langtian's thoughts and explained.

"I see..." Lin Langtian nodded slightly, then stopped paying attention to the question and looked at the gray-robed elder with some anticipation, "I wonder what kind of reward the higher-ups have prepared for their disciple."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed elder smiled slightly and, without keeping them in suspense, said directly, "After discussion among the higher-ups, it has been decided to appoint Junior Nephew Lin as the Deputy Chief of the Yuan Sect's Enforcement Department..."

As Lin Langtian accepted this sudden appointment and reward, in the Southwest Region the Eastern Xuan Region, there was a vast mountain range spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. This mountain range was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it incredibly mysterious.

This extremely large mountain range is called the Dao Domain.

Within the Dao Domain lies the Dao Sect, one of the Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region.

Deep within this boundless and vast Dao Domain mountain range, the endless clouds and mist are clearly divided as if cut by a knife.

Countless towering mountains cluster together, and on those mountains, one can vaguely see magnificent buildings stretching as far as the eye can see.

Beneath those colossal mountains, cities emerge from the clouds, teeming with life, resembling a true kingdom from afar.

This is the Dao Sect.

At this moment, deep within the Dao Sect, in an antique-style room, a gray- Gray-robed Youth was lying quietly on the bed. The Gray-robed Youth was pale and weak, and was unconscious. However, judging from his face, he was none other than Wang Yan, who had been severely injured by Lin Langtian.

Beside the bed were a middle-aged man with a dignified and imposing presence and a Dark-robed Woman.

The middle-aged man wore cloth shoes and a simple, well-fitting white shirt. He appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, with a gentle, warm face. It was clear that he must have been quite handsome in his youth.

His face was very gentle, like the starry sky and the ocean, as if any panicked heart would gradually calm down under that smile.

This person is Ying Xuanzi, the Sect Master of the Dao Sect, one of the super strong individuals in the Eastern Xuan Region.

The Dark-robed Woman was naturally his eldest daughter, Ying Xiaoxiao, the Senior Sister the Dao Sect.

"Xiaoxiao, it's all thanks to your timely intervention. Otherwise, Wang Yan would probably have lost his life in Blood Rock Land." Ying Xuanzi looked at the unconscious Wang Yan, then turned to Ying Xiaoxiao and sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao taken aback. Then, the Figure in Green Robes flashed through her mind. She shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Wang Yan's escape wasn't due to me, it was just good luck. If it weren't for Lin Langtian ..."

"Lin Langtian ..." Upon hearing this name, Ying Xuanzi paused for a moment, then said softly, "This name seems somewhat familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before."

"The champion of the previous Hundred Dynasties War was Lin Langtian," Ying Xiaoxiao said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Oh, the champion of the previous Hundred Dynasties War?" Ying Xuanzi murmured, then suddenly realized, "That's right, I remember now, I heard that this young man is from a Low-level Dynasty."

At this point, Ying Xuanzi sighed and said, "Yuan Sect is really lucky. The champions of the Hundred Dynasties War for several consecutive years have joined Yuan Sect. If it weren't for this, how could Yuan Sect be so powerful?"

"But I remember it's only been half a year since the last Hundred Dynasties War ended, right? That Lin Langtian joined the Yuan Sect for only half a year, and already became a Spirit General, and even defeated Wang Yan, whose strength is no weaker than yours?"

In the end, even the usually composed Ying Xuanzi couldn't help but show a slight look of shock on his face.

After all, as the Sect Master of the Dao Sect, he knew Wang Yan's strength all too well. Even Ying Xiaoxiao's strength might not be able to surpass Wang Yan's.

As a result, Wang Yan, who was considered the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of his Dao Sect, was no match for a newcomer who had only joined the Yuan Sect for half a year. Such a gap was simply a disgrace to the Dao Sect.

"Lin Langtian's ability to rise from the Low-level Dynasty to this position is far beyond what it seems. In my opinion, given more time, even the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings might not be a match for Lin Langtian," Ying Xiaoxiao said softly, a hint of admiration flashing in her clear eyes.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Seeing Ying Xiaoxiao's expression, Ying Xuanzi frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you... have feelings for that Lin Langtian...?"

Although she hadn't finished speaking, Ying Xiaoxiao clearly understood her father's meaning. A faint blush flashed across her cool face, and she quickly said, "Father, you're overthinking it."

Ying Xuanzi was not relieved by Ying Xiaoxiao's denial; instead, his mood became even heavier. After a moment, he shook his head slightly and said in a soft voice.

"Xiaoxiao, your mother passed away early, and I raised you and Huanhuan by myself. Therefore, you and Huanhuan don't need to hide anything from me."

"You and Lin Langtian seem to be quite familiar. Tell me about your relationship with Lin Langtian. If there's anything between you, even if he's a disciple of the Yuan Sect, I won't interfere."

The Dao Sect Leader, Ying Xuanzi, stared intently at Ying Xiaoxiao, his wise eyes, as deep as the sea, seemed to see right through her thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao bit her red lips lightly, then looked up at Ying Xuanzi's gentle face with a smile, and slowly nodded.

As a father, Ying Xuanzi was undoubtedly very qualified. Moreover, Ying Xiaoxiao also wanted to find someone to talk to about the complicated feelings in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Xiaoxiao recounted how Lin Langtian saved her life and abandoned his pursuit of Wang Yan.

"Oh, Lin Langtian even saved your life?" Ying Xuanzi asked in surprise.

He never expected that Lin Langtian, who had joined the Yuan Sect, would actually rescue Ying Xiaoxiao, the Senior Sister of the Dao Sect. You must know that there is a deep-seated hatred between the Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect.

"It seems that Lin Langtian is not bound by the so-called sect rules, otherwise he would not have risked offending the higher-ups of the Yuan Sect to save you. He is quite an interesting fellow."

"However... even if Lin Langtian is not currently involved in the deep-seated hatred between my Dao Sect and Yuan Sect, as he integrates more and more into the Yuan Sect Yuan Sect and attains a high position within it, he will naturally stand in the best interests of the Yuan Sect in the future. For example, his defeat of Wang Yan this time was probably at the behest of the higher-ups of the Yuan Sect."

"The fact that Lin Langtian was able to rise from the Low-level Dynasty to this point and even defeat Wang Yan reminds me of Zhou Tong. Such outstanding talent, and he even saved your life, it's not surprising that you have developed feelings for him."

"Just Xiaoxiao. Even if you really have feelings for Lin Langtian, you are my daughter, Ying Xuanzi, and Lin Langtian is equally talented. He will likely achieve a high position in the Yuan Sect in the future, and may even take over the Yuan Sect."

"After saying all this, I can only tell you a cruel reality."

"There's absolutely no possibility between you two."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Ying Xiaoxiao's delicate body trembled instantly. The expression on her pretty face kept changing, her jade hands clenched tightly, and a look of pain appeared in her clear eyes.

At this moment, the feelings that were originally hidden in her heart were either completely erased or buried deep in her heart.

Perhaps one day this feeling will resurface, or perhaps it will fade into oblivion forever...
