Sun Youdao spoke, sighing as he said, "Lin Ming became the champion of the Total Faction Martial Meeting, taking first place. He was already one of the direct disciples of the Seven Profound Valleys … "
"… The Champion of the Total Faction Martial Meeting? Direct disciple? ”Yang Lin muttered, Sun Youdao's words echoed in his mind repeatedly. He was so shocked that he did not know how to react. After all, he knew what this news meant.
In the past few days, Yang Lin had researched everything he could about the Meeting of the Total Martial Faction. Naturally, he knew what kind of existence the direct disciple was. The Seven Great Valleys had four different classifications of disciples. The lowest class was the nominal disciple, followed by the outer court disciple, the inner court disciple, and finally the highest, the core disciple.
A core disciple was only selected every two Total Faction Martial Meetings, or in other words, every six years. Each faction only had a handful of core disciples, and the one ranked first among these disciples was a direct disciple!
With seven factions, there would be seven direct disciples. Without a doubt, these seven disciples were all destined to enter the top ten of the Total Faction Martial Meeting. This was a position coveted by every disciple within the Seven Profound Valleys, as the higher the rank, the more resources they had to develop.
It could be said that as long as the direct disciples did not fall from grace, they had an absolute chance to step into the Xiantian realm.
Within the Seven Profound Valleys, their status was even higher than the outer court elders!
What status does a Seven Profound Valleys elder have? When Ouyang Dihua ran rampant through Sky Fortune City and was able to become the Seven Great Envoys, it was all because his uncle was an elder who could support him.
Because of this, even the emperor had to fully respect Ouyang Dihua, let alone Yang Lin.
As a mere crown prince of the Sky Fortune Kingdom who was already in an extremely dangerous situation, Ouyang Dihua basically did not even care about Yang Lin.
"Lin Ming .. already has the same status as elder …"
Yang Lin swallowed. He had already thought that Lin Ming would bring back a great gift for him, but he had never imagined that it would be something so fantastic.
Total Faction Martial Meeting rank one!
Become a direct student!
All of this was enough to be recorded in the permanent history of the Sky Fortune Kingdom. Who had ever heard of a disciple from 36 countries becoming a direct disciple? Who would have ever imagined a disciple from 36 countries to be a champion in the Total Faction Martial Meeting? Moreover, the champion, not even a single one has ever reached the top five!
Not only Yang Lin, but Qin Xiao, the great generals, and every other martial artist were all completely suffocated. As martial artists, they understood just how profound and profound this news was.
That meant that sooner or later, Lin Ming would become a Xiantian master.
A Xiantian master.
To those who were mortal, it was a figure that only existed in legends.
For a moment, silence enveloped the entire square; there was only the sound of a cold and cold wind, and the flapping of ribbons.
Yang Ling opened her mouth to speak a few times but could not say anything, unable to calm the turbulent waves that were flowing in her heart. If Lin Ming had become a direct disciple, even if Yang Lin had only gotten a little help, only a little, then much less if he was the current crown prince, then, even if he was an illegitimate child that had never been seen before, he could still sit on the throne of the Sky Fortune Kingdom!
Thrones…
Thinking of this, Yang Lin almost cried. How many years has he been restless, restless, unable to eat or sleep in peace? Once the throne is taken by someone else, then he, his mother, his little sister, will all be beyond redemption!
The only thing that ends on that path is death.
As Qin Ziya saw Yang Lin's excitement, he smiled and said, "Lin Ming is still at the Seven Profound Valleys. There were many things he had to attend to, such as receiving a reward and also some joint talent training programs that he had to join. After that, he would decide which faction he wanted to follow. That's why we came back first. ”
As Qin Ziya spoke, Sun Youdao laughed, “Lin Ming is a treasure that every large faction wants to steal! Especially the Sword Faction and Acacia Faction, I heard that they have already fought so much with him! ”
There were many major factions that wanted Lin Ming to become their direct disciple?
Yang Lin let out a heavy sigh. Although he was not surprised, listening to Sun Youdao say this was still very shocking.
At this moment, behind Yang Lin, the government newspaper reporters started to act. They rubbed their hands together, warmed up, and then excitedly started writing down the news. Such a shocking report would definitely cause a huge wave throughout the Sky Fortune Kingdom!
Actually, this is true …
The next day, the news that Lin Ming had become the champion of the Total Faction Martial Meeting spread throughout Sky Fortune City, quickly spreading across the country.
Within the Seven Profound Martial Houses, all the old and new disciples excitedly discussed this event. That these people could share the Martial House that Lin Ming had once been a part of was already a matter of great pride. Dozens of years later, or even hundreds of years later, they can proudly boast to their descendants and say, “Hehe, that year, when your grandfather was young, he said, he was once a disciple of a fellow Xiantian master disciple!”
Especially the young female apprentices who had just entered and moved to Linmaniacs; to them, Lin Ming was their highest idol, their highest crush, their dreamy lover!
Deep in Green Mulberry City, the Lin Family also received this news.
The holiday at the end of the year was the grandest event in Sky Fortune Kingdom. The emperor had to offer sacrifices to heaven and receive all the officials of other countries. All other aristocratic families had to slaughter animals in New Year worship, and held long and elaborate ceremonies.
The Lin Family was one of the top-ranked families in Green Mulberry City. Naturally, they were not exempt from this.
But after they got the news that Lin Ming had become the champion of the Total Martial Faction Meeting, and had even become a direct disciple who would become a Xiantian master in the future, he said, the entire Lin Family was roiling in excitement.
This meant that over the next few centuries, the Lin Family would flourish, and even become one of the top-ranked families in the Sky Fortune Kingdom!
Thinking this, the head of the Lin Family could not help but laugh. Each Lin Family servant obtained a thick red envelope packed with money. Of course, every servant knew why they were given this red envelope, and they were all talking about the legendary young master of the Lin Family.
But during this year's New Year's ceremony, the Lin Family also paid a heavy price. They spent the entire income for two years: 80,000 gold taels, to hold an unprecedented ancestral worship ceremony. The banquet had 160 tables and lasted for nine full days. All the heroes around were invited, as well as all the important people!
However, what was surprising was that after this nine-day banquet, the reward money they received actually amounted to 150,000 taels of gold! Many families that the Lin family could not match actually sent their direct descendant juniors to join the Lin Family celebration and offer a large sum of money as a gift.
But they are still a little disappointed. No matter which big family came and wanted to welcome Lin Ming's parents, they couldn't. It seemed that the couple had already left the Lin Family, their whereabouts were unknown …
It's just a small matter. But still, there are some people who are sensitive to such things, who feel as if there are some hidden crises in a joyful celebration …
The day that Qin Ziya returned was also the same day that the Tenth Prince, Yang Zhen, got the news. He spent two whole days in his room, and after coming out, he looked haggard as if he was instantly ten years old.
In the battle for the throne, someone appears as a noble victor, or they fall into a pit of hell. At this moment, Yang Zhen no longer had any roads left to walk. If he ascended to the throne, he would not forgive Yang Lin. If Yang Lin ascended to the throne, he would not be forgiven.
By relying on the Zhu Family, that moment when they had offended Lin Ming was the worst step he had taken in his life. But what was done has been done – there is no longer room for regret.
Now, he's at the end of his path. For him, there was only one last step he could take in this chess game …
This move did not necessarily allow him to revitalize his fading expectations, but if he did not, then he would actually die.
………. .
Late at night, Yang Zhen dressed in a thick black robe, and while escaping the attention of everyone, entered the house of the Seven Profound Envoys.
This is where Ouyang Dihua once lived. After Ouyang Dihua died, Ouyang Boyan came to the Sky Fortune Kingdom. After that, he stayed here. Perhaps it was because he wanted to see where his last nephew lived and look for some clues.
Ouyang Boyan had been investigating for an entire month, but ended up without a clue, or even the slightest hint. Ouyang Boyan rarely came out, and he had yet to leave the Sky Fortune Kingdom.
In accordance with the circumstances of the murder, the person who killed Ouyang Dihua must be someone with at least Xiantian cultivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill Ouyang Dihua secretly under the protection of some bodyguards, and then quietly slip away.
Ouyang Boyan believed that most likely, this assassin was coming for him. However, Ouyang Dihua had died just as collateral damage. The reason he stayed at the home of the Seven Profound Envoys of the Sky Fortune Kingdom was to wait for this assassin to come to him so that he could take revenge.
However, he waited and waited, until he received the news that Lin Ming had become the champion of the Total Faction Martial Meeting.
…………
"Yang Zhen greeted Elder Ouyang!" Yang Zhen knelt on both knees and bowed respectfully. Normally, martial artists did not care much or follow the rules and customs of humans and kingdoms. Even if they saw Shi Zongtian, they would not kneel. But Yang Zhen actually did it. This clearly shows how much he respects and serves.
"Who Zhen?" Ouyang Boyan opened his eyes to look at Yang Zhen, "What are you here for?"
"Older Ouyang, after Mr. Ouyang Dihua died, I have some suspicions that I want to convey, but I don't know if I should speak or not …"
Ouyang Boyan suddenly smiled cunningly and said, "You suspect it's Lin Ming?"
Yang Zhen's heart turned cold, but this wasn't too surprising. He calmly said, “Two months before Mister Ouyang Dihua died, he had a conflict with Lin Ming. ”
What Yang Zhen said, Ouyang Boyan certainly knew. Of course, mere conflict does not necessarily become a matter worth eliminating. Most importantly, at that moment, Ouyang Boyan did not think that Lin Ming had any abilities.
But now…
If Lin Ming knew some kind of special technique, and he also had the help of a master from Divine Phoenix Island, then there was a high chance that he had killed Ouyang Dihua while he was under the protection of many guards.
At this moment, Yang Zhen also said, “ Elder Ouyang, I have already received some additional news. After Qin Ziya returned to Sky Fortune City, he secretly visited Lin Ming's parents and moved them elsewhere. My guess is that Lin Ming has entrusted Qin Ziya with this matter … "
"Is that true?" Ouyang Boyan's lips curled in a grim frown. If he had only guessed before, then now listening to Yang Zhen's words, killing intent had already moved into his heart. In the entire Sky Fortune Kingdom, Ouyang Boyan was the only one who could make Lin Ming so scared. If he's innocent, why would he do this?
In terms of strength, Ouyang Boyan naturally surpassed Lin Ming by a large margin. But in terms of status, he was actually much inferior to Lin Ming. Lin Ming was not only a few ordinary direct disciples, but according to the news from Qin Ziya and the Seven Profound Valleys, he had a familiar but unclear relationship with the top fourth-grade sect, Divine Phoenix Island.
Compared to Lin Ming, Ouyang Boyan's influence was much weaker. He was not someone who desperately sought Lin Ming for revenge by sacrificing his own life just to take revenge for his nephew.
He would patiently endure this for now, and wait for the opportunity to kill Lin Ming calmly. Then once he discovered where Lin Ming's parents were, he would kill them as well, and secretly wipe out the Lin Family! Only in this way could the hatred in his heart be overcome!
