The Grand Selection Envoys Arrive

Yi Yun didn't care about the discussions among the tribal people and Lian Chengyu's lackeys. He just looked at Lian Chengyu with some surprise. He didn't expect that Lian Chengyu would not take action against him on the grounds of malicious slander.

What's the reason?

Yi Yun noticed that Lian Chengyu looked rather pale. Could it be that he had Going into demonic possession during his cultivation and damaged his meridians?

But even if Lian Chengyu doesn't make a move, there's still Yao Yuan!

Yi Yun, unaware of the reason, turned a deaf ear to the questions raised by the people around him.

In fact, Lian Chengyu's decision not to make a move today was exactly what Yi Yun wanted. Lian Chengyu's strength was growing by leaps and bounds, and it wouldn't be long before he could even surpass Lian Chengyu in cultivation. At that point, what advantage would Lian Chengyu have left? Yi Yun was 100% confident in making a move then! Even if Yao Yuan intervened, Yi Yun was not afraid at all!

Yi Yun's appearance today is solely for a spot in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection; achieving this goal is enough.

"Young Master Lian, you just said that if we join hands, the Lian Clan will prosper. So, you're planning to have me participate in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection?"

Yi Yun asked with a half-smile. Lian Chengyu frowned. He knew that refusing at this time was neither reasonable nor meaningful. The Brocade Dragon Guard would be coming tomorrow, and Yi Yun had already demonstrated his strength to the entire clan.

The Brocade Dragon Guard held the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection to select the strong. Whoever is strong and has great potential can go. Of course, they would agree to Yi Yun's participation. After all, Yi Yun only needs to show his strength in front of the Brocade Dragon Guard envoy. How could Lian Chengyu really have the power to decide who participates in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection? The Divine Kingdom Grand Selection is not organized by the Lian Clan.

"Of course! However, Yi Yun, your cultivation time is still short. This trip to the Tao Clan to participate in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection is just to broaden your horizons and gain some experience, which will be helpful for your future growth."

"You probably don't know how difficult the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection. Within a radius of thousands of miles, dozens of tribes will be represented, and only twenty people will be selected! Of these twenty people, more than three-quarters will come from the Tao Clan within that radius of thousands of miles!"

The Tao Clan has both manpower and resources; Lian Chengyu's Cold Python Savage Bones was obtained in exchange for the Tao Clan!

Needless to say, their resources are far superior, and their Tao Clan is also far ahead. The young talents of the Tao Clan all learn martial arts from warriors who are at the mid-to-late stage or Purple Blood Peak. Their clan even has its own ancestral martial arts techniques. What can other small tribes use to compete with the Tao Clan?

Therefore, out of the quota of one or two dozen people, only three or four can be allocated to small tribes! With dozens of small tribes, only three or four people are selected, which is a pitifully low ratio!

Lian Chengyu continued, "The Tao Clan is a behemoth, with a population more than a hundred times that of our Lian Clan! Some of the young talents of the Tao Clan have already reached the Purple Blood Realm! In particular, the third young master of the Tao clan is renowned far and wide! It is almost impossible for people from small tribes to compete with them, and as for the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection, one should basically forget about it unless one is at the peak of the fifth level of the Mortal Blood Qi Induction Realm."

Even Lian Chengyu faced considerable pressure after failing to break through to the Purple Blood Realm.

He can't win against someone with mortal blood and purple blood. He can only compete with others who are also at the Mortal Blood Realm. Reaching the fifth level of mortal blood is just an entry ticket.

"Once I pass the general election, I will then promote you. If you also achieve something, it will naturally be a great thing for the tribe."

Lian Chengyu said reluctantly that he certainly didn't want Yi Yun to participate in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection, which meant that he wouldn't have a chance to kill Yi Yun during the election.

Moreover, Yi Yun's growth was too fast. Regardless of whether Yi Yun gained his current strength through good fortune, his growth rate alarmed Lian Chengyu. Lian Chengyu disliked things being beyond his control, and he wanted to get rid of Yi Yun as soon as possible, preferably by surprise, lest he actually possess some life-saving treasure.

If I kill Yi Yun, that treasure will be mine!

"Then I'll thank Young Master Lian for his 'guidance'!" Yi Yun emphasized the word "guidance," his words carrying a strong sarcasm. "However... Young Master Lian doesn't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Yi Yun spoke, he casually took a few steps forward.

Lian Chengyu's heart skipped a beat. Yi Yun actually suspected that he was injured!

"Coach Yao!"

Lian Chengyu said angrily, Yao Yuan sighed, his voice sharp and clear, reaching Yi Yun's ears, "Young brother, I haven't attacked you today because I respect you as a young hero. Why are you being so aggressive?"

Yao Yuan's words made Yi Yun pause in his steps. He couldn't force a sound into a line, so he could only look at Yao Yuan and clasp his hands in a fist salute.

So that's how it is. No wonder Yao Yuan didn't make a move. It seems that although Yao Yuan is a member of the ruling class of the Lian Clan, he still has some chivalrous spirit and did not collude with Lian Chengyu.

"Instructor Yao is right. Thank you in advance. I greatly admire Instructor Yao's character. I'll take my leave now, see you at noon tomorrow!"

Yi Yun spoke respectfully to Yao Yuan. In fact, Yao Yuan was Yi Yun's first teacher, teaching him the most basic martial art, "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist," even though Yi Yun had only learned it by observing others.

After speaking, Yi Yun squeezed out of the crowd and headed towards the Lian Clan's medicinal mountain.

Worried about Jiang Xiaorou's safety, he naturally wouldn't reveal the location of the treehouse on the back mountain. He planned to jump down into the canyon dozens of meters high from Yaoshan Mountain, enter the East River, float downstream, and then fall into the waterfall. This way, no one would be able to deduce his residence based on his walking direction.

The next morning, Yi Yun, who had been meditating all night, opened his eyes.

The day has finally arrived! Today, the Brocade Dragon Guard envoy will come to the Lian Clan to take him to participate in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection!

"Yun'er, just do your best in everything, there's no need to force it. You're still young, and there's a long future ahead. Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future. Don't act impulsively because you're worried about temporary gains or losses..."

"Okay, Sister Xiaorou."

Knowing that today was the day Yi Yun was leaving, Jiang Xiaorou kept reminding him of things. Yi Yun felt very warm listening to Yi Yun, "Sister Xiaorou, you'll probably be on your own these days. I've prepared all the food for you, so don't wander off."

Yi Yun estimated that he wouldn't be able to bring Jiang Xiaorou along on his trip to the Tao Clan for the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection. He was just an insignificant candidate and would most likely have to travel there on the Brocade Dragon Guard's mounts, so bringing one more person was probably out of the question.

Fortunately, the Lian Clan's back mountain area is vast, making it easy for Jiang Xiaorou to hide. Moreover, Lian Chengyu, that wolf, is also leaving the Lian Clan to participate in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection, which puts Yi Yun at ease. As long as Jiang Xiaorou hides, she will be quite safe in the back mountain, where there are almost no wild animals.

Finally, just in case, Yi Yun left the Life-saving Talisman that Old Man Su had given him before he left with Jiang Xiaorou. Yi Yun had always treasured that yellowish talisman, which looked like straw paper, hoping that Old Man Su wasn't joking.

If this old man is going to joke around with something that could save his life, then he's really despicable.

Yi Yun left just like that, like a nimble antelope, flying towards the Lian Clan at an extremely fast speed!

When Yi Yun arrived at the Lian Clan, the Lian Clan's leaders had already come out in full force to welcome the Brocade Dragon Guard's envoy.

At noon, the Brocade Dragon Guard envoy arrived as promised.

He was tall and dark-skinned, riding the standard mount of the Brocade Dragon Guard, and arrived at the Lian Clan with great pomp and circumstance.

Who wants to participate in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection?

The messenger spoke concisely and with a strong voice.

Yi Yun, Lian Chengyu, and ten others stepped forward.

"Come on up!"

The envoy waved his hand, uttering not a single unnecessary word, and all ten candidates mounted his horse.

Although the mount was large, it was still quite crowded with ten more people. The Brocade Dragon Guard envoy sat alone on the wide saddle in the middle, while the others sat on the sides, almost touching body to body and leg to leg.

Of course, Lian Chengyu had a relatively spacious position, which was squeezed out for Lian Chengyu by the other eight members of the Warrior Reserve Camp.

As lackeys, their duty is to make their masters comfortable.

Space was limited, Lian Chengyu enjoyed a large space, while Yi Yun's space was naturally small. The two big men almost sandwiched him between them, but Yi Yun was too lazy to argue about it.
