Xiao Li's Teacher
Early in the morning, members of the various Great Emperor clans had already gathered at the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb.
In ancient times, the Eight Great Emperor Clans made a pact that only members of these Eight Clans could enter and exit the Heavenly Tomb for training!
In its early days, the Heavenly Tomb was actually jointly managed by the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan.
However, with the decline of the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago, the Heavenly Tomb is now solely controlled by the Gu Clan!
Furthermore, for the past thousand years, the quota for the Heavenly Tomb of the Xiao Clan has always been occupied by the Gu Clans who serve as the managers of the Heavenly Tomb.
However, no one said much about it.
Firstly, the Gu Clan were the administrators; secondly, after the decline of the Xiao Clan, it was impossible for anyone to come to the Gu Clan and thus enter the Heavenly Tomb.
Therefore, it is actually quite reasonable for these two spots to fall into the hands of the Gu Clan.
However, after the Xiao Clan made a high-profile announcement of their return, the Gu Clan had no reason to continue occupying those two spots.
Therefore, on this day, Xiao Yan and the others also arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb.
Of course, those gathered here now, besides the two candidates from each clan to enter the Heavenly Tomb, are also the leaders of the various Great Emperor clans who have come to the Gu Clans this time.
The five clans of Flame, Thunder, Medicine, Stone, and Soul each sent only three people: two young prodigies and a leader whose strength had reached the level of Half-Saint.
Only the Xiao Clan's group was slightly larger.
There were people from the Xiao Household, people from the Starfall Pavilion, and people from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
Since the three of them entered the Gu Realm together, the people from the Starfall Pavilion and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace did not leave immediately after the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony ended, and the others did not feel that anything was wrong.
After all, in the eyes of the other Emperor Clans, the three of them were all in cahoots.
It's likely that only a small number of Leadership of the Gu Clans know that the reason the people from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace didn't leave wasn't just because of that...
"Is everyone here? Then, let's confirm who will enter the Heavenly Tomb."
An Elder from the Gu Clan, who had brought the people from the various Great Emperor clans to the scene, spoke up loudly.
As the Gu Clan Elder finished speaking, two people from each clan stepped forward.
The Lei Clan consists of Lei Mo and Lei Zhen.
The Yan Clan consists of Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi.
The Yao Clan consists of Yao Xingji and Yao Chuan.
The Stone Clan consists of Shi Yun and Yan Longzi.
The Hun Clan consists of Hun Ya and Hun Li.
Finally, everyone's attention turned to the members of the Gu Clan and the Xiao Household.
"Ahem~, since the Ling Clan is not present, according to the rules, our Gu Clan, as the managers of the Heavenly Tomb, naturally..."
"Etc!"
Seeing that no one from the Xiao Household stepped forward, the Gu Clans didn't take it seriously and prepared to first select the young talents they were going to send to the Heavenly Tomb.
Originally, according to the results of the discussions held by the Gu Clan over the past two days, the four slots for their Gu Clan to enter the Heavenly Tomb, including the two slots for the Ling Clan, should have been allocated to Gu Xun'er, Gu Qingyang, Gu Zhen, and Lin Xiu.
When Gu Hua, Gu Xing, and Gu Yao used the Blood Transformation Art during their Coming-of-Age Ceremony challenge to Xiao Yan, it meant that they had given up their chance to compete for a spot in the Heavenly Tomb.
In that case, the spots will naturally be allocated in order of priority.
However, just as the Elder of the Gu Clan was about to announce that the two Heavenly Tomb slots for the Ling Clan would be allocated to the Gu Clan, a clear voice rang out, directly interrupting his unfinished words.
"Swish, swish, swish"
Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on the person who had spoken.
Then, the others realized that the person who spoke seemed to be from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
It was a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe, more completely covered than the two members of the Soul Hun Clan, Hun Ya and Hun Li.
However, because of the sound just now, everyone knew that the mysterious person in black robes was a woman.
But everyone was still curious as to why the other party had interrupted the Elder of the Gu Clan.
After all, in their eyes, what happened here had nothing to do with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, right?
The number of people allowed to enter and exit the Heavenly Tomb has always been controlled by the Eight Great Emperor Clans!
Sure enough, the Elder of the Gu Clan whose words had been interrupted frowned slightly as a result.
"My friend from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, the matter of the Heavenly Tomb only involves a few of our major Great Emperor clans. It should have nothing to do with your Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, right? Why do you interrupt me?"
It was clear that this Elder of the Gu Clan was not in a good mood at the moment.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could he be in a good mood if a complete stranger suddenly interrupted him to announce something?
If the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace weren't somewhat special, he probably would have expelled them from the Gu Clan!
"Indeed, this matter has nothing to do with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, but it does concern me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Miao, dressed in a black robe, walked up to the group.
"Supreme Elder Lin, what's going on?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan, somewhat bewildered, quietly approached Xiao Lin and asked.
"Xiao Yan, this gentleman is my teacher!"
Before Xiao Lin could speak, Xiao Li explained to Xiao Yan first.
"Huh? Second Brother's teacher?"
Now, Xiao Yan was even more confused.
Wait, we've been spending so many days together, why didn't my second brother tell him anything?
If he had known earlier that the person was his second brother's teacher, he would have at least paid his respects, wouldn't he?
"Second brother, what is your teacher planning to do?"
Since the woman in black robes who spoke was his second brother's teacher, Xiao Yan didn't bother asking Xiao Lin anymore and instead inquired about his second brother.
"Hehe, Xiao Yan, don't be impatient, you'll find out soon!"
Xiao Li did not answer Xiao Yan's question, but instead suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.
Clearly, Xiao Li was speaking in riddles.
"It has nothing to do with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, but it has something to do with you? And who are you?"
At the same time, the Elder of the Gu Clan asked with a puzzled expression.
Of course, because of this little incident, the other members of the Emperor Clan also focused their attention on Ling Miao.
"Me? Of course, I am the Ling Clan you speak of!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Miao took off the black robe she was wearing.
Suddenly, a classical beauty, as if she had stepped out of a painting, appeared in everyone's sight.
However, beautiful women are something we've all seen plenty of; there's nothing special about them.
Furthermore, people like the Hun Clan have never considered the difference between men and women!
In their eyes, even capturing a woman is like extracting her soul!
However, what truly attracted everyone's attention was the mark that shimmered on Ling Miao's forehead.
That mark is familiar to people from all the Great Emperor clans.
Because that is the Clan Mark of the Ling Clan!
This is something that no one other than the Ling Clan can imitate!
Because Ling Miao was a genius secretly cultivated by the Ling Clan a hundred years ago, most of the other races were unaware of her.
Therefore, the only way for her to prove her identity as a member of the Ling Clan is to display the Ling Clan's Clan Mark.
It can be said that the Ling Clan's Clan Mark is the best proof of her identity!
