At the foot of Qingyang Peak, under an ancient pine tree.
The man in green shirt sits cross-legged.
He looked to be about twenty-five or six years old, with a handsome and gentle face. He was wearing a green robe and a high crown, and he looked like a Taoist man.
Holding an ancient book in his hand and a long sword hanging at his waist, he looked extraordinary.
Not far behind him, there were dozens of inner disciples waiting respectfully, vaguely respecting him.
Lin Tian raised his eyes and saw Hua Xuan's figure among these people.
"He's from the Club of Stars. So, is the person in front of me the leader who founded the Club of Stars?"
Lin Tian was secretly wary.
The man smiled slightly, waved to him, and said: "Qingyang Peak has beautiful scenery. In addition to practicing, it is also a good place to enjoy the scenery. I have new tea here just picked from the south of the Yangtze River. Do you want it?"
Don’t want to try?”
As he spoke, he pointed to the stone table next to him.
Tea is brewing on top, and the aroma is overwhelming.
Obviously this person has been waiting here for a long time.
"The tea has a sweet aroma, and it is indeed good tea. However, this Qingyang Peak is my place, and those who come here are guests. How can there be any reason to let guests make tea?"
He shook his head and refused.
Hearing this, the man didn't care. He nodded slightly and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xu Changsheng. I am the leader of the Qianlong Ranking and the president of the Stars Association. This Qingyang Peak has been mine for the past seven years."
The dojo of the Star Club.”
"I know."
Lin Tian replied calmly.
He took back the dominance of Qingyang Peak from the Stars Society and almost caused the Stars Society to fall apart. Of course, the other party would not give up.
It was expected that he would come to the door at this time.
but.
Lin Tian didn't have any fear.
Since he is the master of Qingyang Ancient Sword, Qingyang Peak should belong to him of course. If Qunxing hadn't bullied others too much, he wouldn't have acted domineeringly and expelled them all.
Now that Xu Changsheng has come out of confinement and comes to investigate in person, Lin Tian is not afraid of him.
Because he didn't feel the fluctuation of mana from the other party.
Obviously Xu Changsheng has not yet achieved supernatural powers.
Since it's not a supernatural power, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Senior Brother Xu, right? You're waiting for me here specifically not just for tea. If you have anything to say, you might as well speak up."
"It's nothing big. I just heard that Qingyang Peak changed hands, so I came over to take a look."
Xu Changsheng shook his head when he heard this, still looking calm and elegant.
"When I established the Qunxing Club, I just wanted to give those helpless individual disciples a place to rely on and join the group for warmth. However, it gradually grew in size. It was inevitable that some people lost their original intention and changed their taste. Someone needed to support them.
A little lesson. From this aspect, I have to thank you."
This Xu Changsheng is quite well-educated.
His speech and behavior were quite elegant, and for a while, he didn't feel bad at all.
This person's way of cultivation is somewhat Taoist and natural.
But soon, Xu Changsheng changed the topic and said: "But no matter what, I created the Stars Association after all. Even if some people should be taught a lesson, it is not the turn of others.
Lin Tian, I know that you have mastered the Qingyang Ancient Sword. Due to emotions and reasons, Tianchi Cave Palace should be yours. I have no objection to this.
But you should not forcefully expel all the disciples of the Star Society from Qingyang Peak and force them to leave."
"If the stars hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have done this.
Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no point in saying what is right or wrong. Senior Brother Xu is here today. If he is just here to drink tea and watch the scenery, I welcome him, but if he wants to contribute to the gathering of stars, Lin will also be happy to accompany him."
During the conversation.
Lin Tian's body's true energy surged, his aura was revealed, and his fighting spirit surged.
However.
Xu Changsheng glanced at him, but shook his head.
"You are indeed very strong. Although your level is not high, you have accumulated a lot of strength and powerful combat power. You are indeed a rare opponent. Such an opponent should be treated seriously. If you rush to attack here just for personal grudges, I am afraid I will humiliate you.
"
His words made Lin Tian a little confused.
After pondering for a moment, he asked: "So, senior brother came here today to declare a challenge?"
"To be honest, I am waiting for you here because I really want to bring the matter of the Stars Club to a conclusion.
If you are just an ordinary person, then it doesn't matter, I will just suppress you casually.
But after seeing you, I changed my mind.
You are a true genius and a rare opponent, so naturally you should be treated seriously.
Whenever there was a major event, the ancients would make an invitation in advance and attend in person to show respect.
So today, it will be me who personally delivers the battle message."
Xu Changsheng said with a smile.
This guy is quite interesting.
He was gentle and polite in his speech and behavior, which was different from the arrogant geniuses Lin Tian had encountered before.
However, the confidence and calmness revealed in his words were unprecedented.
This may be the reason why he ranked first on the Qianlong Ranking for three consecutive years.
Lin Tian admired in his heart.
On the surface, he remained calm and replied: "Thanks to Senior Brother Xu, how do you plan to fight?"
"One month from now, it will be the day when the Hidden Dragon List will be re-booked. I will be there at that time, hoping to fight with you!"
"Senior brother thinks too highly of me. In the competition for the Hidden Dragon Ranking, there are so many strong men, and I may not be able to make it to the ranking."
"I believe in my own vision. Lin Tian, one month from now, you and I will fight on the Qianlong Ranking. No matter we win or lose, all the grudges between you and the Stars Association will be wiped out."
But if I can win, I ask you to be more open-minded and stop targeting the disciples of the Star Society. They are all unofficials who have no true backers. It is very difficult to find a suitable training cave."
Said.
He stood up personally, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Lin Tian.
to be honest.
Lin Tian was very satisfied with Xu Changsheng's attitude.
No matter whether he is trying to win people's hearts or not.
At the very least, it's not arrogant.
This made Lin Tian very fond of him.
He was not the kind of unreasonable person, and he had no need to fight to the death with the stars. After thinking about it, he took the tea cup and took a sip.
Then he said: "Okay, I'll give you this cup of tea, I promise you. One month later, you and I will have a battle on the Qianlong Ranking. No matter we win or lose, from now on all the disciples of the Star Club can come to Qingqing as long as they don't violate my rules."
Yangfeng is looking for a cave to practice."
"Thank you very much."
"Senior brother, you're welcome. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Let's see you on the Qianlong List."
After saying that, Lin Tian cupped his hands, ignored the disciples of the Star Society, and got up directly to climb the mountain and return to Tianchi Cave.
"Senior brother, why are you so polite to this Lin Tian? You can just suppress him directly. Why do you want to make an appointment with him to fight on the Qianlong Bang? What is your identity? He deserves it..."
Hua Xuan next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"shut up!"
Xu Changsheng glared at him coldly, his face no longer gentle at all.
"If it weren't for you, how could Qunxing be in such a situation?"
"I...Senior brother, I know I was wrong. But I also think about the brothers of the Star Club, and I have no selfish motives..."
"That's enough. I don't care about your thoughts."
Xu Changsheng waved his hand.
Then his expression softened a bit, and then he explained: "Lin Tian has already taken control of Qingyang Peak, and this is his territory. Even if I suppress it, what will happen?
If he doesn't want to, he can use the large formation on Qingyang Peak to drive you away at any time.
It doesn't matter to me. After breaking through to the magical power realm, even if you can't become a true disciple, you can still become an elder and have a special training cave. But what about you and the other disciples of the Stars Association? There is still no place to practice.
We are not like the Honglei Club, we have true disciples as our backers.
Therefore, we must not offend Lin Tian, and we must resolve the previous grievances as much as possible."
After hearing what Xu Changsheng said.
Only then did Hua Xuan finally wake up.
Senior brother, he is sincerely considering the disciples of the Star Club, instead of just thinking about face issues.
He wanted to fight Lin Tian because he wanted to use this method to settle the previous grudges, which could also be regarded as resolving conflicts and finding a way out for other disciples.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I..."
"Okay, I'm not completely unselfish."
Xu Changsheng sighed.
"In this retreat, I have reached the threshold of the magical realm, but I am still short of the final step, so I need to rely on external pressure to break through. This Lin Tian is very powerful and will definitely be a dark horse. Maybe by then
It’s also an opportunity for me to make a breakthrough!”
"That's great! If senior brother can break through the magical power, he will have the opportunity to enter the True Spirit Palace and hopefully achieve the true legacy!"
"Yes. If I can achieve the true story, I can have my own divine peak. From now on, the disciples of the Star Society will no longer have to rely on others."
…
at the same time.
On Qingyang Peak.
"That Xu Changsheng is quite a figure. He has been ranked first in the Hidden Dragon Ranking for three consecutive times. He is definitely outstanding. His strength is probably the ceiling among the inner disciples of the Sword Sect. I want to be invincible in the same realm.
Sooner or later, I will have to fight this person."
Lin Tian thought about it and returned to the cave.
"Brother, are you back?"
My younger sister, Lin Yu, heard the sound and walked out of the room, cheering and throwing herself into her arms.
Lin Tian didn't go out for a long time this time, only less than half a month.
However, the little girl's cultivation progressed very quickly.
Now the coldness in his body is restrained, his aura is deep, and he already has the demeanor of a master.
I'm afraid it's not far away from condensing the first Yin Talisman.
During his absence, Queen Yin taught her carefully and did not have any bad intentions, which made Lin Tian feel relieved.
It seems that Xuanyin Palace is really optimistic about her sister's talent and wants to cultivate it.
If there is really no other way in the future, sending my sister to Xuanyin Palace would be a good choice.
only.
Lin Tian suddenly noticed.
There was a shallow blood mark on Lin Yu's wrist, as if he had been injured, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Asked: "What's going on?"
"Ah? This... was injured by me accidentally..."
The little girl said with twinkling eyes.
But her little move could not be concealed from Lin Tian, and his eyes immediately turned sharp: "You have grown up with me, how can you hide anything from me? Honestly, how did you do this?"
Seeing that Lin Tian was about to get angry, Lin Yu panicked and said quickly: "Brother, don't be angry, I just said that.
I was bored a few days ago, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I saw a few people from the Thunder Club sneaking around at the foot of the mountain and saying bad things about you. I couldn't get angry, so I had a fight with them.
There were too many people, so I accidentally suffered a small loss..."
