Chapter 3792 Dongfang Yan Nian

All the high-ranking officials, except for one respectively, from the lord-rank forces arrived as soon as Xiao Zhen’s voice fell.

For example, the Linghu clan’s Linghu Zheng Xing waited outside while Linghu Heng and Ling Huan entered the examination ground. There was also Murong Sui Feng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect, who waited outside while the sect leader, Qian Yin, and Supreme Elder Lei entered. As for the Murong clan, their supreme elder waited outside while their sect leader, Murong Yun Liu came in.

Apart from that, the high-ranking officials who were not from lord-rank forces and sectless cultivators entered as well.

At this time, Hou Qing Ning’s anxious voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.

“Duan Ling Tian, do you think I’ll be able to pass the inner disciples’ examination?”

“What’s wrong? Are you worried that you’ll fail while Miss Muring passes?” Duan Ling Tian asked teasingly through Voice Transmission.

Hou Qing Ning remained silent for a moment before he finally replied, “Yes.”

“If you fail the inner disciples’ examination, you can take the outer disciples’ examination. After all, a chance would be given to outer disciples to become inner disciples once every 10 years,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“That’s not just it. In fact, she’s slightly stronger than me. If she fails the inner disciples’ examination, I’ll definitely fail as well,” Hou Qing Ning said with a bitter smile.

“If that’s the case, you can return to the Murong clan with her, right? After all, if she can’t become an inner disciple, it’s more beneficial for her to return to the Murong clan,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“I know,” Hou Qing Ning said, “Before we departed from the Murong clan, I told her that even if I can’t join the Flying Dragon Sect as an inner disciple, I’ll join the sect as an outer disciple.”

Duan Ling Tian chuckled upon hearing Hou Qing Ning’s words. “My friend, it seems like you were too hasty with your words earlier. Don’t worry about what you said earlier. She’ll definitely be delighted if you return to the clan with her. In fact, she probably won’t even care about what you had said.”

At this moment, while Duan Ling Tian was conversing with Hou Qing Ning, a figure flew over. In just a moment, it arrived in the sky above Duan Ling Tian and the others. The figure belonged to a tall and burly proud middle-aged man. He had a jade-like complexion and was dressed in a long light gray robe.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyesight was rather keen so he saw the middle-aged man’s familiar identity token that was a piece of white jade carved with a dragon. Following that, he remembered that Xue Hai Chuan had carried such a token as well. With this, it was not difficult to guess that the newcomer was a White Dragon Elder as well.

Although the Flying Dragon Sect’s White Dragon Elders and the inner elders were mostly intermediate gods, their strength was not comparable. It was just like the differences between the core elders and inner elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. Although they were all advanced Kings of Gods, their strength varied. The differences were like heaven and earth.

If one were to compare Kuang Tian Zheng, an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, to Xue Hai Chuan, a White Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, despite having the same cultivation bases, Xue Hai Chuan would definitely be able to defeat Kuang Tian Zheng within three moves. This was how great the difference was between inner elders and White Dragon Elders.

As soon as the newcomer arrived and hovered in the air, the four inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect bowed to greet him.

“Greetings, Elder Dongfang!”

With this, the others followed suit and greeted the White Dragon Elder. Some, who had never heard of the White Dragon Elders, also followed suit. Although they might know knew who he was, based on the inner elder’s actions, it was clear that the newcomer had a high position in the Flying Dragon Sect.

“I am Dongfang Yan Nian, a White Dragon Elder from the Flying Dragon Sect,” the middle-aged man said, “I’m responsible for the inner disciples’ examinations.”

Dongfang Yan Nian paused and looked at the crowd before his gaze landed on a purple figure.

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. He could not understand why Dongfang Yan Nian was staring at him.

Dongfang Yan Nian continued to say, “Due to the Linghu clan’s Revered Elder Duan’s performance in the qualifying round, he’ll be exempted from the inner disciples’ test and will directly become an inner disciple of our Flying Dragon Sect.”

Se

as

Apart from the elders from the Flying Dragon Sect, the others were shocked by Dongfang Yan Nian’s words. After all, such a situation was unprecedented. However, when they regained their senses, they thought it was only natural after they recalled his performance during the third round of the qualifying test and his achievements. With his strength, it would be easy for him to pass the inner disciples’ examination.

Dongfang Yan Nian continued to say, “Although that may be the case, those under the age of 5,000 can challenge him to a duel if they object to this.”

Those around Duan Ling Tian felt the corners of their lips twitch upon hearing these words. Was there anyone so foolish as to challenge Duan Ling Tian to duel?

Following that, Dongfang Yan Nian glanced at the other participants and the high-ranking officials from the forces before he finally said to the four inner elders from the Flying Dragon Sect, “Inner elders, please lead the other participants into the hall.”

“Understood.”

Following that, the four inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect brought the participants away.

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to follow them to watch the examination, Dongfang Yan Nian called out, “Duan Ling Tian, please stay back.”

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Dongfang Yan Nian in confusion.

Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan frowned slightly as well as they looked at Dongfang Yan Nian warily.

“Junior Brother Hai Chuan has asked me to bring you over to meet him,” Dongfang Yan Nian said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission.

To be safe, Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Xue Hai Chuan to verify the matter through the Soul Pearls he had exchanged with Xue Hai Chuan in the past.

Xue Hai Chuan’s reply came swiftly. He was naturally aware of Duan Ling Tian’s concern. “Brother Duan, you’re really cautious. Senior Brother Dongfang is one of my best friends in the Flying Dragon Sect. Don’t worry. He’s not in the 10,000 Devils faction nor is he Vice Sect Leader Xue’s people. Moreover, those people won’t dare to kill you so openly in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.”

“Since the entrance examination will take a while, why don’t you come meet me. If you’re interested in watching the examination, I’ll ask Senior Brother Dongfang to broadcast the examination for us,” Xue Hai Chuan said.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian sent a Voice Transmission to Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan to assure them before he left with Dongfan Yan Nian.

During their journey to meet Xue Hai Chuan, Dongfang Yan Nian said praisingly, “I’ve never seen Junior Brother Hai Chuan admire someone as much as he admires you. Please look after me in the future.”

Although Dongfang Yan Nian was a White Dragon Elder, he did not put on air and treated Duan Ling Tian as an equal. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had a rather good impression of Dongfang Yan Nian.

As the saying went, ‘Birds of a feather flock together’.

Considering Xue Hai Chuan’s character, his friends had to be somewhat similar to him as well. At the very least, they must share the same values.

With all this, Duan Ling Tian got along very well with Dongfang Yan Nian.

“Elder Dongfang, you’re overpraising me. I’m just an ordinary disciple, but you’re a White Dragon Elder.”

Dongfang Yan Nian laughed and said, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re too humble. With your innate talent, I believe you’ll soon become the youngest White Dragon Elder in the Flying Dragon Sect’s history. Moreover, I have a feeling you’ll become the first Emperor of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect after so many

years…”

Since Dongfang Yan Nian was good friends with Xue Hai Chuan, he had long heard about Duan Ling Tian’s achievements. Moreover, based on Duan Ling Tian’s performance during the qualifying test, he had no doubts that Duan Ling Tian, who was not even 3,000 years old, was extraordinary. After all, the Emperors of Gods that used to exist in the Flying Dragon Sect did not even have such achievements at Duan Ling Tian’s age.

Before going to see Xue Hai Chuan, Dongfang Yan Nian had also brought Duan Ling Tian to register as an inner disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Duan Ling Tian thought that things were really easy if one had the right connections.

After that, it did not take long before they arrived at Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground. It was located in an independent courtyard halfway up a mountain.

“Brother Hai Chuan.”

Xue Hai Chuan looked the same as when Duan Ling Tian last met him. However, Duan Ling Tian felt that Xue Hai Chuan’s aura had grown rather mysterious. Perhaps, he could sense this now because he had become an intermediate King of Gods.
