Chapter 5401: Coincidental encounter with Ling Tianyou

Translator: 549690339

Lin Yi’s intuition told him that Duanmu Yu had a reason for doing this, but even when it was almost evening, Duanmu Yu still didn’t say anything special, as if he really just wanted to entertain him alone.

With a stomach full of questions, Lin Yi bade farewell to Duanmu Yu and left the sect with Bing Wuqing.

“She seems to have something to say.” Bing Wuqing suddenly said.

“It’s a pity that she doesn’t seem to want to say it. ” Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. He had been struggling with this matter for the whole afternoon, wondering if Duanmu Yu had any other difficulties. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Duanmu Yu was already a peak early gold core expert, and he had powerful helpers like him and Bing Wuqing. Even if ye Qingcheng wanted to deal with her, she would have to think twice. In theory, Duanmu Yu shouldn’t have any difficulties.

Perhaps, he was shocked by the other party’s femininity today and was overthinking it.

As the two of them talked, they arrived at the lakeside. At this moment, a huge flying spirit beast suddenly descended from the sky. It was a spiky Eagle with feathers as sharp as knives. On its back was an old acquaintance. It was the young sect leader of the thousand blades sect, Ling Tianyou.

“What a coincidence.” Lin Yi smiled. They weren’t that close, but he had a pretty good impression of this super genius. He was one of the few friends he had in the ancient martial world.

“Haha, this isn’t a coincidence. I heard that brother Lin had come to spirit leaf sect, so I specially came over to show my hospitality.” Ling Tianyou laughed. He was a little surprised when he saw Bing Wuqing, but he quickly understood. A genius like Bing Wuqing was someone that any normal person would try to recruit, provided that they had the ability to do so. Lin Yi obviously had the ability to do so.

“A friendly host? Could it be that your thousand blades sect is nearby?” Lin Yi asked.

“That’s right. The territories of our two sects are adjacent to each other, so I can be considered half a landlord here. ” Ling Tianyou smiled and said,”it just so happens that there’s a Pavilion here. I’ve prepared some good wine and delicacies. It’s a welcome party for brother Lin. It’s also a good opportunity for us to express our gratitude.”

He didn’t plan to invite Lin Yi to the thousand blades sect directly. First, they weren’t that close yet, and second, he was afraid that Lin Yi would steal the spotlight. After all, the thousand blades sect wasn’t like before. They didn’t even have a nascent soul old monster to back them up.

“Hehe, then it would be impolite to refuse.” Lin Yi didn’t decline and immediately sat down opposite Ling Tianyou with Bing Wuqing. He didn’t dislike Ling Tianyou’s kind gesture.

The three of them sat down, and Ling Tianyou first made three toasts. Although he didn’t say any more polite words, anyone could see the gratitude in his words. Unlike Xue Jianfeng, this super genius of the thousand blades sect wasn’t someone who would return kindness with ingratitude.

“I’ve heard about brother Lin’s incident at the green cloud sect on the North Island. You’ve spent a lot of money. I believe the entire immemorial Alliance will be in an uproar soon.” Ling Tianyou said.

The destruction of a nascent soul old monster like Chen Jiu would change the days of the green cloud sect on the northern island. This was not a small matter for the entire small Jianghu in the immemorial era. After all, it was a sect from one of the ten small families. It might seem stable in the short term, but the subsequent impact would come very soon. It was just that the matter had not yet completely fermented and spread.

“Will you?” Lin Yi was a little surprised. He knew that this would cause some disturbance, but he didn’t know how it would affect the outside world. After all, his understanding of the ancient Alliance was limited.

“Of course they will. The green cloud sect of the North Island is one of the ten small sects and families. Moreover, they are the main members of the North Island Alliance. They have a lot of influence in the entire immemorial Alliance. Brother Lin, many people have their eyes on your sudden appearance. Not to mention, this year is special.” Ling Tianyou said with a smile.

“Special? How special?” Lin Yi asked curiously.

“Among all the major forces in the Jianghu in the primitive times, the top four are the big families and sects, followed by the ten small families and sects. These fourteen forces control at least eighty percent of the experts and resources, and they control the fate of the whole Jianghu in the primitive times. In order to be among them, all the sects and families in the primitive times will do whatever it takes. And this year is the year of the selection that happens once every Millennium!” Ling Tianyou’s eyes were shining as he spoke.

“The year of the selection?” Lin Yi’s expression was weird-the word made him think of the elections in the common world, but that was only the normal society’s system. It wasn’t realistic in the world of cultivation where the strong were respected. Did the ancient martial arts world do that?

“That’s right. The Millennium selection is a rule set by the immemorial Alliance when it was first established. From the four great sects and families to the ten small sects and families, every position has to be re-evaluated. The weak will be eliminated. This is a rare event in the entire small Jianghu of the immemorial era. Brother Lin, didn’t you hear about it?” Ling Tianyou glanced at Bing Wuqing as he spoke. Although the latter had officially joined Lin Yi’s Army, he didn’t care about other people’s business. Even if he knew about the Millennium selection, he wouldn’t care about it, and he wouldn’t mention it to Lin Yi.

“I’ve never heard of this. ” Lin Yi shook his head, confused,”but if I remember correctly, whether it’s the four big sects or the ten small sects, they’re all divided by the number of nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Is there a need to judge?”

The number of Yuanying stage old monsters in a sect was obvious at a glance. In theory, there was no need for any selection at all. The so-called selection that happened once every Millennium couldn’t just be a formality, could it?

“Indeed, but there are also strong and weak nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Even if each of them has a nascent Soul Stage cultivator, they will still have a ranking in the top ten sects and families. The stronger the nascent Soul Stage cultivator is, the higher the status of the sect and family he belongs to, and the greater the right to speak on all kinds of major events. So, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Millennium election is actually a reshuffling of the top experts in the entire primitive times to see who is stronger and who is weaker. There has to be a clear winner. ” Ling Tianyou explained. (The school Belle has been writing for more than five years. Recently, she has encountered some bottlenecks in the plot. Murloc plans to adjust her thinking, so for the time being, she will maintain a daily update from this month. However, today, murloc’s new book,”the president of the school’s Belle depends on me,” was released! Readers who don’t have enough to read can read the new book. Thank you for your support as always!)

“According to what you said, the Yuanying stage old monsters of various sects and families will fight each other?” Lin Yi was interested.

“I’m not too sure about this, but even if they do have a fight, it won’t be made public. Moreover, each Yuanying stage old monster is the stabilizing force of their respective sects and families. They will never easily fight with others, especially with other Yuanying stage old monsters. I guess they will use an indirect way to compare.” Ling Tianyou speculated.
