Yuan Sect's Internal Strife

Time flies like water; before you know it, two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

As the atmosphere in the Abyssal Demon City grew so intense it almost bordered on madness, the Sect Tournament finally began.

When the first ray of light on the third day tore through the clouds and shone on the earth, the entire Abyssal Demon City was undoubtedly thrown into complete chaos.

Above the sky, the piercing sound of wind breaking was incessant, and figures swarmed out like locusts, heading towards the point of entry into the Abyssal Demon Domain Realm.

Not far to the north of the Abyssal Demon City lies a black plain.

At the far end of the plain, space twists and turns, completely separating the plain from the surrounding landscape.

Meanwhile, the sky above the plains outside was already filled with an overwhelming number of people, and in the distance, the sound of rushing wind could be heard continuously, clearly indicating that this terrifying sea of people was still growing.

Call out!

A large number of figures swept in, finally appearing a thousand meters away from the spatial barrier. They then revealed themselves to be the disciples of the Yuan Sect Fire Division, led by Lin Langtian. As for the other Seven Divisions divisions, they were nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, even before officially entering the Abyssal Demon Domain, Lin Langtian and the Three Young Kings were already showing signs of splitting up.

"It's truly spectacular."

The crowd hovered in mid-air, their gazes sweeping over the seemingly endless sea of people. They couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. As expected of a grand event in the Eastern Xuan Region, the sheer scale of it could only be described as magnificent.

Lin Langtian's expression remained calm. Then, his gaze swept across the sky before suddenly stopping at a large group of figures carrying long swords not far away.

These people were surrounded by a sharp Sword Qi, so sharp it seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth.

At the very front of the crowd stood a man who didn't seem particularly remarkable, but the sharp aura emanating from him caught Lin Langtian's attention.

"Those are disciples of the Sword Sect. The one in the lead is the most outstanding young person in the Sword Sect today, known as the Sword Maniac Xue Ling, with the strength of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage Peak."

Noticing Lin Langtian's gaze, Song Yun spoke up at the opportune moment.

As one of the most senior disciples of the Fire Division, Song Yun knew quite a lot. He then introduced Lin Langtian to the figures and deeds of other sects.

"The group of white-clad people on the left, and the yellow-clad disciples not far from them, are disciples of the God Sect and the Fu Valley. This time, the most powerful person among the younger generation of the God Sect is a woman named Xue Wan."

"And the leading disciple of Fu Valley is named Mao Shan. Both of them have reached the level of Nine-Seal Talisman Master Mental Power," Song Yun pointed to the other two places and continued.

Lin Langtian followed the gaze and saw a woman in a white dress standing elegantly in front of the group of white-clad figures. A powerful, invisible Mental Power emanated from her, causing the space around her to distort.

Lin Langtian's gaze lingered on the woman named Xue Wan for a moment, then turned back towards the direction of the Fu Valley.

There stood a young man dressed in a large yellow robe, which was covered with strange runes. Faintly, a radiant light emanated from it. Judging from its appearance, this yellow robe was actually a powerful Spirit Treasure.

"Nine-Seal Talisman Master".

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly. Currently, his Mental Power is still at the level of Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, which is weaker than these two.

"Those over there, they must be people from the Primordial Hall, right?"

After meeting Fu Valley and the most outstanding disciples of the God Sect, Lin Langtian looked at another place where a large group of burly men were gathered.

Surprisingly, the person at the very front was just a rather thin man. Standing in front of these burly giants, he looked like a child, and the contrast was quite comical.

"Yes, that slender man is Wu Hong, the Senior Brother of the Primordial Hall. Don't let his physique fool you; his physical body has been cultivated to an extremely powerful level," Song Yun nodded and said.

As the two were talking, the sound of wind breaking came from afar, and a few breaths later, a large number of figures appeared in the sky.

As this group of people appeared, a commotion broke out in the air above the plain, and then all eyes turned to the front of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace disciples with great interest.

There, a graceful figure in white, as pure as snow, stood on Green Lotus, exuding a cool and aloof air, like a celestial being descended to earth—it was Ling Qingzhu.

"Huh?"

Lin Langtian's gaze swept over Ling Qingzhu, then he suddenly exclaimed in surprise. His slightly astonished gaze then lingered behind Ling Qingzhu, where two beautiful figures stood.

He recognized one of the girls very well; it was Su Rou.

Besides Su Rou, there was another girl dressed in an ice-frosty dress. The girl exuded a chilling aura that kept people at a distance. Even her eyebrows were covered with frost. Her icy eyes only showed a hint of life when she looked at Ling Qingzhu at the head of the table.

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, this must be Frost Crow..." Although they were far apart, Lin Langtian sensed a similar aura about the woman to that of the Jin Wu. He rubbed his chin and murmured to himself.

He could sense that this woman's aura was extremely impressive, probably not much weaker than an ordinary Yuan Sect Spirit General. It seemed that under the nurturing of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Jin Wu's younger sister had not fallen behind in her growth.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Su Rou, who was talking with her fellow disciples, seemed to have noticed something as well. She immediately looked up and turned her gaze toward the direction where the Fire Division was located.

Then, she saw that handsome, otherworldly face, a familiar face with a slight smile on its lips, looking at her.

"Brother Langtian."

Su Rou was slightly taken aback, and then a smile of surprise and excitement appeared on her face. Then, disregarding the gazes of those around her, she waved to Lin Langtian in the distance.

Looking at the overjoyed Su Rou, Lin Langtian smiled slightly.

Su Rou's actions were obviously noticed by the Fire Division disciples beside Lin Langtian. They were all stunned for a moment, and then looked at the senior brother with admiration. Senior Brother is indeed amazing, he can be recognized everywhere he goes.

"Hehe, that girl's Su Rou. She was Senior Brother's little fangirl when he participated in the Hundred Dynasties War." Mo Tie, who knew the situation, chuckled and said.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples looked at Lin Langtian with even greater admiration...

At the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu was slightly taken aback by Su Rou's behavior, and then said softly, "You know him?"

"Yes, back during the Hundred Dynasties War, if it weren't for Brother Langtian, my brother and I probably wouldn't have made it to Hundred Dynasties Mountain at all." Su Rou nodded and smiled.

"Brother Langtian is amazing. In the end, even those bad guys from the Western Xuan Region were no match for him."

Su Rou's face was full of admiration, which made some of the male disciples around her a little jealous. They probably had never seen her, whose status in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace had been rising to its peak in the past year, look like this.

Upon hearing the name Lin Langtian, the Ice-Robed Girl murmured softly, then seemed to realize something, and a slight ripple appeared on her icy face.

She gazed at Lin Langtian, but when she realized that the figure she was hoping for was not beside him, a hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the Ice-Robed Girl.

Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu understood what was going on and whispered comforting words in his ear, "Don't worry, I've already spoken to him, and you should be able to see your long-lost brother in a few days."

Upon hearing this, the Frost Girl gave a soft "hmm," then looked at Ling Qingzhu, a faint smile appearing on her cold face, and said, "Sister Qingzhu..."

At the same time, Lin Langtian gradually withdrew his gaze from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace in the distance, then turned to look at another part of the sky and said softly, "The people from the Dao Sect have arrived."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another series of whooshing sounds came, indicating a large force from the Dao Sect.

Lin Langtian was already very familiar with the people of the Dao Sect, so he didn't need Song Yun to give him a detailed introduction.

Leading the Dao Sect was none other than Lin Dong and his three companions. However, due to their respective positions, Lin Langtian did not go to greet Lin Dong, but merely nodded slightly from a distance.

When Lin Dong saw Lin Langtian, he also had a gentle smile on his face. As for Ying Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, she subconsciously looked away when she met Lin Langtian's gaze, no longer displaying the heroic demeanor of the Senior Sister of the Heaven Hall.

Ying Huanhuan, on the other hand, was glaring at him with a huff, leaving Lin Langtian completely bewildered. Finally, Wang Yan, looking at Lin Langtian's figure, revealed a hint of fear and solemnity in his cold eyes.

Lin Langtian was taken aback by the various expressions on the faces of the Dao Sect members. He shook his head and was about to close his eyes to rest when, as if sensing something, he looked up and locked his gaze on the distant sky.

Swish!

As he watched, a rapid whooshing sound soon rang out, and then a dark mass of figures, like a dark cloud, stormed in from afar with a rather domineering manner, finally appearing at the place closest to the spatial distortion.

Who else could have such an imposing presence besides Yuan Sect, the leader of the Eastern Xuan Region?

At this moment, at the very front of the group of the Yuan Sect disciples stood three figures, standing straight, with a soaring aura slowly spreading out, causing many people to change color slightly.

The Yuan Gate Three Young Kings!

Upon seeing the three flamboyant individuals, Lin Langtian's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

However, although he was not afraid of the Three Young Kings, the prodigies from other Super Sect were slightly uneasy when they saw Yuan Cang, and a look of vigilance flashed in their eyes.

This demeanor clearly showed that he was extremely wary of Yuan Cang.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that although Yuan Cang had been defeated by him, the prestige he had accumulated over the years was indeed something a newcomer like himself could not match.

Under the gazes of everyone, Yuan Cang, dressed in blue, did not greet the others. Instead, he turned his head and slowly turned his gaze toward the direction of the Fire Division.

Of course, to be precise, it was Lin Langtian, who was in charge.

"Langtian, the Sect Leader has personally handed over the command of the sect to me. Why did you set off before the main force? Do you intend to establish your own sect?"

Yuan Cang looked at Lin Langtian, his eyes flashing, and immediately accused him of being sarcastic.

This guy may seem gentle, but his words are like a needle hidden in cotton, piercing to the bone.

Clearly, he intended to embarrass Lin Langtian in front of so many people.

Even though Lin Langtian was stronger, the command of the sect was in Yuan Cang's hands. Lin Langtian had no room to resist, otherwise he would be going against the sect!

Lei Qian and the others behind Yuan Cang also sneered at Lin Langtian. So what if he won the Division Trial? The Three Young Kings were the direct descendants of the Sect Leader, while Lin Langtian was just an outsider in the end.

When people from other sects saw this, the previously noisy clamor subsided slightly.

As the leading Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region, Yuan Sect's strength surpasses all other sects, and its internal strife is something that everyone enjoys watching.

They had also heard of Lin Langtian; he was said to be a newly emerging super genius within the Yuan Sect, who had even defeated Wang Yan and Yuan Cang of the Dao Sect, boasting an impressive record.

Therefore, they quickly figured out what was going on, and then looked at Lin Langtian with some sympathy and regret.

To be honest, this kind of thing is very common in major sects. After all, although supernovas are monstrous talents, they are still shallow in foundation. Most sect leaders obviously trust their direct descendants who they know well, and this Yuan Sect seems to be the case.

As the direct disciples of the Three Grand Masters, the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings naturally enjoyed a high level of trust, so it was normal for Lin Langtian to suffer such unfair treatment.

Even Ling Qingzhu and Ying Xiaoxiao, who were usually uninterested in foreign affairs, looked towards the distance, in the direction where Lin Langtian was.

"Senior Brother Yuan Cang is joking. Langtian doesn't have the ability to establish its own independent entity. However, before leaving, the Sect Leader said that the Fire Division was allowed to act independently without being bound by command. Could it be that Senior Brother Yuan Cang didn't receive this message?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Langtian responded indifferently to Yuan Cang's accusations.

Yuan Cang Ren Yuanzi to pressure him, so he would pressure him back, since he also had his own imperial sword.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Cang was also taken aback. He was naturally aware of the matter of the Fire Division's independence. He was only mentioning command authority now in order to provoke Lin Langtian and see him get angry.

Who would have thought that Lin Langtian would remain so calm, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes? However, Yuan Cang was not without a backup plan. He smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"It's true that the Fire Division has the right to act independently, but Langtian, some Fire Division disciples are not willing to follow you down this dark path."

No sooner had the words fallen than several figures suddenly darted out from among the Fire Division disciples.

These figures approached Yuan Cang and respectfully said, "Senior Brother Yuan Cang, the Fire Division is resisting the tide of events. We have realized our mistake and are willing to follow you!"

This change immediately caused quite a stir in the room.

It was clear to everyone that the Three Young Kings faction held a huge advantage in this internal power struggle within the Yuan Sect. Lin Langtian's own men began to defect, and although it was only a few people, the blow to morale was enormous.

At the same time, Yuan Cang and the other two also looked at Lin Langtian with sneers, their eyes full of smugness.

Lin Langtian also looked over and saw that these traitors were none other than Ling Chi and Zhang Hao, the former Fire Division Spirit General had a grudge against him. He didn't know when, but these people had been won over by Yuan Cang.

"Traitor!"

Upon seeing this, Song Yun and the others immediately rebuked, saying that the Yuan Gate Eight Divisions were acting independently, and that Ling Chi and the others' behavior was almost equivalent to treason in the secular world!

However, just as they were about to say something, Lin Langtian waved his hand to stop them.

Lin Langtian wasn't too angry about Ling Chi and Zhang Hao's defection. In fact, a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes as he chuckled.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, one rat spoils the whole pot of soup. I am truly grateful to Senior Brother Yuan Cang for helping me get rid of the rat."

That single sentence instantly froze the smug look in the eyes of the Three Young Kings, while Ling Chi, Zhang Hao, and the others turned red with anger...
