Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

"Qiankun Sect?"

Upon hearing what Song Yanfei said, Lin Langtian was taken aback. He then stared at the golden token handed to him by her jade-like hand. After taking it, he gently stroked the two ancient characters "Qiankun" with his palm.

Sensing the subtle pressure emanating from the golden characters, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow. This seemingly ancient golden token appeared to have quite a history.

"Miss Yanfei, what is this token?" Lin Langtian looked up and asked Song Yanfei curiously.

Song Yanfei said, "Young Master Langtian is new here, so he probably doesn't know about the Qiankun Sect, right?"

Lin Langtian shook his head. He didn't know much about the Qiankun Continent, and he was even more unfamiliar with the so-called Qiankun Sect. However, judging from the name, it seemed to have quite a background.

"I'm sure Young Master Langtian can see that the Qiankun Sect, named after the Qiankun Continent, must have a significant background. Indeed, it is. The Qiankun Sect was once the dominant force on the Qiankun Continent. Its power was so great that it not only dominated the entire Qiankun Continent, but also controlled several smaller continents nearby." Song Yanfei said, her red lips slightly pursed.

"The dominant force on the Qiankun Continent?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly.

Being able to dominate a continent, even though the Qiankun Continent is not particularly famous in this vast world, is not something that ordinary forces can achieve. From this perspective, the Qiankun Sect's power is indeed remarkable.

However, Lin Langtian still keenly noticed the word 'past'. In addition, it seems that many heroes are rising up on the Qiankun Continent now, and no one force dominates. Obviously, the Qiankun Sect should no longer have its former glory.

Song Yanfei also noticed the change in Lin Langtian's expression and smiled, "Young Master Langtian is right. Although the Qiankun Sect was once the overlord of the continent, that was hundreds of years ago."

Since the internal strife that occurred three hundred years ago, the Qiankun Sect has been utterly crippled. Although it still stands on the continent, it has become an ordinary first-rate power, never to regain its former glory.

"An internal strife has broken out..." Lin Langtian murmured, "No wonder the Qiankun Sect, once a dominant force, has declined to this state. I just don't understand why such a seemingly peaceful sect would suddenly experience internal strife..."

Song Yanfei also shook her head and said, "Three hundred years have passed, and most people are no longer clear about the specific details of the internal strife that broke out in the Qiankun Sect. However, Young Master Langtian may not be unfamiliar with the forces that split off after the internal strife in the Qiankun Sect."

"Oh, you mean... the Desolate Palace?"

Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not been in the Qiankun Continent for very long, and the only forces he had come into contact with were the three in the auction house: the Earth Desolate Palace, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Blood Blade Profound Gate.

However, judging from Song Yanfei's appearance, this force that split off from the Qiankun Sect is most likely the Dihuang Palace, which has a grudge against him.

"Young Master Langtian is indeed quick-witted..." Song Yanfei smiled slightly, praised him, and then said in a deep voice, "That's right, the current Palace Master of the Desolate Palace, Huang Kurong, was a disciple of the Qiankun Sect back then."

It is said that Huang Kurong was exceptionally talented in his youth. Within just a few decades of joining the Qiankun Sect, he rose to a high position and even formed a faction within the sect.

With his immense talent and strength, coupled with the formidable power of his faction, rumors are circulating that Huang Kurong, ambitious and rebellious, led a rebellion after failing to become the sect leader of the Qiankun Sect.

However, at that time, the Qiankun Sect was at its peak, and Huang Kurong's rebellion did not succeed. Although the rebellion was eventually suppressed by the Qiankun Sect, Huang Kurong led the remaining forces to escape and established the Dihuang Palace in the central region of the Qiankun Continent.

After experiencing internal strife, the Qiankun Sect was severely weakened. In its several campaigns against the Dihuang Palace, it not only failed to eliminate the rebellious force but also caused its own power to decline, making it unable to suppress the various forces on the Qiankun Continent. This led to the current situation where heroes rise up on the Qiankun Continent.

"The Qiankun Sect, currently weakened, can only cower in the Northern Region, while the Dihuang Palace is thriving and showing signs of becoming a hegemon," said Song Yanfei.

At this point, Song Yanfei glanced at the golden token with her beautiful eyes, then looked at Lin Langtian and said, "To be honest, although my Song family is only a family in Beiling City, we were once glorious for a period of time hundreds of years ago."

My ancestor was a former Grand Elder of the Qiankun Sect, who rendered outstanding service to the sect and was thus bestowed the Qiankun Golden Token. With this token, one can join the Qiankun Sect directly without undergoing trials.

"Oh, directly join the Qiankun Sect." Lin Langtian was taken aback, then examined the golden token in his hand, not expecting it to have such an effect.

"I see... It seems that Miss Yanfei was worried that I would suffer retaliation from Han Lin, so she gave me this token." Lin Langtian's mind raced, and he quickly understood Song Yanfei's good intentions.

“Yes, Han Lin comes from the Desolate Earth Palace, which has a powerful influence in the Qiankun Continent. Ordinary forces dare not provoke it. Only the Qiankun Sect doesn’t care about the pressure from the Desolate Earth Palace, since the Desolate Earth Palace is a traitor to the Qiankun Sect,” Song Yanfei said.

"This token is too precious, please forgive me for not accepting it." Lin Langtian thought for a moment, then returned the golden token to Song Yanfei and politely declined.

Although the Qiankun Sect has weakened, it is still a first-class power in the Qiankun Continent. Joining it is a dream for many.

This item is not only precious, but it is also a treasure passed down from the Song family's ancestors. Although Lin Langtian was somewhat tempted, a gentleman does not take what others cherish.

"Young Master Langtian has misunderstood. Although this gold token is precious, there are no requirements for its use. According to the rules of the Qiankun Sect, the user must reach the Supreme Realm in order to be exceptionally admitted to the Qiankun Sect."

In my Song family, only my grandfather, the clan chief, met this requirement. However, as the head of the family, and given his advanced age, it was impossible for him to abandon his family and business to join the Qiankun Sect.

"This token only has two years left before it expires. In other words, even if you don't use it, young master, this Qiankun Golden Token will lose its effect in two years." Song Yanfei said with a wry smile.

Back in the day, the Song family was a top family in the Qiankun Continent. However, with the decline of the Qiankun Sect, the Song family has declined even more severely. Now, they can't even find a suitable supreme expert.

Rather than letting this Qiankun Golden Token go to waste, it's better to hand it over to an outsider and create a positive connection.

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. No wonder Song Yanfei was willing to give him the Qiankun Gold Token; there were so many twists and turns involved.

"Since that's the case, then I'll accept this Qiankun Gold Token. I hope Miss Yanfei can rest assured that Langtian will definitely repay the Song family in the future," Lin Langtian said, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect to Song Yanfei.

Lin Langtian knew that even though the Qiankun Golden Token was no longer of any use to the Song family, its intrinsic value was still extremely high. If it were sold to outsiders, it might fetch a hefty sum of Supreme Spirit Liquid at auction.

Lin Langtian always repays kindness with kindness and avenges wrongs with revenge, and he remembered this favor.

Lin Langtian was not opposed to joining the Qiankun Sect.

After all, when he left the Great Yan Dynasty for the Eastern Xuan Region, he was able to join the Yuan Sect. Although the Yuan Sect was full of filth, it provided Lin Langtian with a good platform and laid the foundation for his future surge in strength.

Therefore, the Qiankun Sect might be a good place for Lin Langtian.

"Hmm." Hearing Lin Langtian's words, Song Yanfei breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, she only needs to explain the whereabouts of the Qiankun Golden Token to her family, but she believes that her grandfather, the clan chief, will understand.

After all, in her eyes, Lin Langtian was a promising prospect.

After bidding farewell to Song Yanfei, Lin Langtian did not leave Beiling City immediately, but instead found an inn to stay in.

Lin Langtian not only ignored Song Yanfei's warning about Han Lin, but also had the idea of ​​fishing in his mind.

After all, not only did Han Lin hold a grudge against him, but he also had his eyes on the Five Elements Divine Crystal on Han Lin's body.

Lin Langtian knew that Han Lin was probably watching his every move, so he decided to find a place to rest for the night.

Tomorrow will be the real highlight.

And so the night passed quietly...

The next day, Lin Langtian still did not make a move. As the sun gradually set, most people would quietly relax at this time of day and night.

Therefore, in order to cover up the truth and deliberately show weakness, Lin Langtian also chose this moment to quietly leave the inn, then merge into the crowd and head out of the city.

As Lin Langtian left the inn, in a pavilion in the city, Han Lin's lips suddenly curled into a cold smile.

He slowly stood up, his slightly cold gaze fixed on the direction of the city gate.

"What a naive fellow, thinking he can slip out of my grasp like that?"

Han Lin gave a mocking smile, then waved his hand, and the black-robed old man appeared behind him like a ghost.

At this moment, there was another figure beside the black-robed elder, whose aura was in no way inferior to that of the black-robed elder.

"Elder Liu, Elder Wang, it's time for you two to make your move."

The two black-robed elders nodded slightly with indifferent expressions. Then, the space around the three of them rippled, and their figures gradually disappeared into the air.

Just as they disappeared, in another courtyard in the city, the Heavenly Demon Fairy, who was sipping fragrant tea, suddenly smiled, revealing a charming and alluring smile.

"This is going to be quite a show."

She gently put down her teacup, then smiled at the people behind her and said, "Let's go, let's sneak a peek. I have a feeling Han Lin won't succeed so easily this time."

Behind them, the ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared, and then the two of them vanished into thin air.

The three groups of people disappeared silently, leaving the city without alerting anyone else.
The sun was setting, hanging in the sky.

call out!
Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound rang out in the dark red sky.

A streak of azure light flashed across the sky like lightning, then sped away into the distance at an astonishing speed.

The figure in the green robe seemed to have pushed his speed to the limit, as if he were dodging a pursuer from behind.

The figure in the green robe traveled at full speed for about half an hour before gradually slowing down and finally landing on a mountaintop.

Lin Langtian looked up at the horizon behind him, then suddenly smiled and said, "You three have been sneaking around for most of the day, aren't you tired?"

"Hehe, it seems you knew all along."

As Lin Langtian's laughter subsided, a soft, feminine voice also rang out in the world, and a mountain peak in the distance appeared to be slightly distorted.

Immediately afterwards, three figures appeared out of thin air like ghosts.

It was none other than Han Lin from the Desolate Palace and the old man in black robes.

Han Lin stared at Lin Langtian with a mocking gaze, then glanced around and said, "You've certainly found yourself a good burial place."

"Oh, how do you know this place wasn't prepared for you?" Lin Langtian smiled, but a cold glint was gradually gathering in his dark eyes.

"You seem very confident."

Han Lin smiled faintly, then stretched out his palm to Lin Langtian and said, "Give me that Great Heavenly Demon Spirit Fruit. If your attitude satisfies me before I get completely angry, I might let you go."

"Did you bring the Five Elements Divine Crystal and the Eight Directions Primordial Chaos Technique with you?" Lin Langtian didn't answer him, but asked in return.

The smile on Han Lin's face finally faded little by little. He stared at Lin Langtian expressionlessly and said, "You have given up your only chance."

"You talk too much nonsense," Lin Langtian said calmly.

"Elder Liu, Elder Wang, let's begin."

Han Lin's gaze turned icy, and the smile on his lips gradually became somewhat sinister: "No need to hold back."

Behind him, the two old men in black robes slowly stepped forward, their hands, which had been tucked into their sleeves, slowly lowered down. Their aged faces exuded a chilling aura.

A terrifying storm of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his body, emanating a horrifying wave.

Two second-rank supreme beings.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that Han Lin had indeed come prepared. In addition to the old man in black robes, there was actually a second-grade supreme expert hiding in the dark.

Lin Langtian's lips slowly curved into a smile: "Looks like another one has been sent to their death." (End of Chapter)
