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

Boom!Boom!
As time passed, while Lin Langtian immersed himself in training the Silver Mist Guards and cultivating the Eight Directions Primordial Technique, the opening time of the Qiankun Spirit Pool finally arrived.

As the first rays of dawn shone upon the heavens and earth, a deep, resonant drumbeat slowly echoed throughout the vast universe.

In an instant, countless figures flashed out, their momentum terrifying.

The battle for the Qiankun Spirit Pool was a major event within the entire Qiankun Sect.

After all, the Qiankun Sect was once the overlord of the continent. Even though it has declined, the struggle between various factions is still extremely fierce.

Therefore, in order to achieve good results and obtain sufficient benefits, each faction will send its strongest members to compete for prestige and profits.

After all, the Qiankun Spirit Pool possesses the miraculous ability to make the Supreme Dharma Body even more perfect, and this alone is enough to make countless Supreme Powerhouses covet it.

Deep within the Qiankun Sect stands a majestic mountain.

The mountains are lush and verdant, and the mountaintops are dazzlingly green, which is where the Qiankun Spirit Pool is located.

This mountain, known as Lingtan Peak, is a forbidden area within the Qiankun Sect. Entry is only permitted temporarily when the battle for the Qiankun Lingtan begins.

At this moment, the air below Lingtan Peak was thick with the spirit of battle, and the clamor carrying an astonishing fighting spirit soared straight into the sky.

The sea of ​​people stretched from the foot of the mountain to the horizon, a truly magnificent sight.

At the foot of the mountain, there are nine huge stone platforms.

The stone platform was vast and enormous, filled with a menacing aura. Eight imposing armies stood silently, their killing intent inspiring awe.

On the stone platform, there were thrones.

Eight figures sat quietly, looking down at the scene like wolves and eagles, causing many powerful figures to dare not meet their gaze.

The names of the nine kings of the Qiankun Sect are quite renowned in the Northern Region and even the entire Qiankun Continent.

boom!
Just as everyone was looking at the empty silver throne at the end, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the horizon.

Countless people looked up in surprise, only to see a white cloud sweeping in and finally landing heavily on the stone platform.

There were nearly a thousand soldiers clad in silver armor, standing silently and unmoving like rocks. At the same time, a fierce aura rose into the sky.

At the very front of that group of people was a tall, handsome man dressed in a blue robe.

He calmly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the other eight stone platforms, his calm black eyes conveying a sense of detachment.

As people gazed upon the elite silver-armored army, the clamor that had filled the air subsided somewhat.

A look of surprise flashed across many people's eyes.

Because the Silver Mist Guard in front of them seemed to be no weaker than the other flagship armies under the Eighth Prince.

"I never expected this Silver Mist Guard to have such an imposing presence. Isn't the Silver Mist Palace supposed to be the last of the Nine Palaces? But this kind of presence is completely unlike what I expected."

"Yes, it seems the rumors are unreliable. Silver Mist Palace is one of the Nine Palaces, so it can't be that bad."

"Nine princes vying for power—that's what makes it interesting!"

"..."

On Lingtan Peak, many eyes were fixed on the silver-armored army that stood as firm as a rock, and some low murmurs of discussion immediately arose.

Yinlan Palace does not have a high reputation within the Qiankun Sect. After all, Jiang Yinlan is the disciple of the Grand Elder and is still relatively inexperienced. If it weren't for the Grand Elder's strong support, she probably wouldn't have become the head of a palace.

"That young man in blue robes must be the lucky fellow who joined my Qiankun Sect through the Qiankun Golden Token and became the commander of the Yinlan Palace."

While everyone was paying attention to the Silver Mist Guards, their gazes inevitably swept over the tall, slender man in a blue robe standing at the very front, with a calm expression.

"Yes, this person is the new leader of Silver Mist Palace, named Lin Langtian, who is said to be from a lower plane."

"Lower planes? Since when can people from lower planes serve as leaders of my Qiankun Sect?" A powerful figure who had been in seclusion for many years and was unaware of what was happening in the outside world questioned angrily.

"Alright, stop complaining. Although Lin Langtian comes from a lower plane, he is said to have already entered the second-grade Supreme Realm. Two months ago, a commander under the King of Calamity attacked him, but was directly defeated by him."

"I see. It seems that Lin Langtian does have some skill. But even so, it's a joke for Yinlan Palace to try and win a spot in Qiankun Spirit Pool."

“Hmm…that makes sense. This time, King Yinlan seems a bit impatient. I’m afraid that if he fails to show off, he will lose face instead. In that case, even the Grand Elder’s face will not look good.”

"... "

"call out!"

After Yinlan Wei appeared, two more beams of light swept over, one of which landed directly on the silver throne of the ninth stone platform, immediately attracting countless gazes.

The figure was slender and tall, clad in silver armor, holding a long sword in her hand. The close-fitting armor hugged her exquisite and alluring body, revealing captivating curves.

Her silver hair was casually tied up, making her look even more dashing, and her pair of snow-white and rounded jade legs under her battle skirt attracted many prying eyes.

Those jade-like legs alone were enough to make one's mouth go dry, let alone the fact that the owner of those legs also possessed such an enviable figure and a cold, beautiful face. Of course, there was also that lofty status. Such an outstanding woman always easily aroused the urge to conquer.

This beautiful figure was none other than Jiang Yinlan.

Her beautiful eyes swept around, and then she sat down on the throne. At the same time, Mu Honglian stood to her left.

"Hehe, so it's King Yinlan. If you had arrived any later, I would have thought you were going to give up."

After Jiang Yinlan appeared, a faint laugh rang out. On the stone platform not far away, the King of Calamity said something inexplicable.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yinlan glanced coldly at King E'nan with her beautiful eyes and said indifferently, "The affairs of my Yinlan Palace are none of King E'nan's concern."

King Calamity smiled, his palm gently rubbing the armrest. Yet, a chill ran through his deep, black eyes, revealing an extremely sinister ruthlessness.

The awkward atmosphere between Jiang Yinlan and the King of Calamity was clearly palpable to anyone.

However, the other kings all watched coldly from the sidelines, showing no intention of intervening.

Lin Langtian stood quietly at the forefront of the Silver Mist Guards, his calm eyes sweeping towards the direction of the Calamity Palace.

On that vast stone platform, there was also an army clad in jet-black armor.

This army was shrouded in a fierce aura, clearly a battle-hardened force with extensive combat experience.

"Commander, that is the Calamity Guard of the Calamity Palace, which is commanded by Dong Kui, the number one of the five commanders."

In recent years, some of the cities under the jurisdiction of our Silver Mist Palace have been completely wiped out by the Calamity Guard, and many cities have even been forced to submit to the Calamity Palace.

Behind Lin Langtian, Huo Yuan spoke in a low voice, his tone tinged with resentment.

Among the Silver Mist Guards, there are three First-Rank Supremes. Because of their considerable strength, they were all promoted to deputy commanders by Lin Langtian. Among them, Huo Yuan is particularly adept at reading people's expressions and flattering his superiors, which is why Lin Langtian considers him a confidant.

"Is this the Guardian of Calamity...?"

Lin Langtian nodded calmly, but the next moment, he sensed a murderous gaze shooting towards him.

He looked up slightly and saw Dong Kui, who was standing at the very front of the Calamity Guard, casting his gaze over him.

Their eyes met briefly, and Dong Kui's lips curled into a cruel and disdainful smile, as if he regarded Lin Langtian as prey.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian also revealed a playful smile.

In this contest at the Heavenly Pool, it remains to be seen who will be the prey for whom…

As Lin Langtian was thinking this, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over, and Mu Honglian quietly came to Lin Langtian's side.

"Honglian, what's wrong?" Lin Langtian asked with a smile upon seeing this.

After spending two months together, and at Mu Honglian's insistence, Lin Langtian abandoned his honorific title and started calling her by her name.

Mu Honglian pursed her red lips and looked at Lin Langtian with some worry, saying, "Sister Yinlan asked me to tell you that there are nearly a hundred people participating in the Spirit Pool Competition this time, and none of them are weak."

"Oh, so many?" Lin Langtian asked in confusion. Weren't these spots extremely limited?
"In this competition for the Spirit Pool, the three elders have decided to increase the number of participants. Therefore, not only those under the command of the Nine Kings, but also some affiliated forces from the Qiankun Sect have a number of spots."

At this point, Mu Honglian glanced in the direction of the Palace of Calamity, a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"This is not good news for you, because some of the affiliated forces participating in this Spirit Pool Competition are on good terms with the Calamity Palace, so they are very likely to unite against you."

Lin Langtian was taken aback upon hearing this. He hadn't expected the Calamity Palace to be so powerful. Compared to it, the Silver Mist Palace was truly quite immature.

However, Lin Langtian was also confident that under his tutelage, the Silver Mist Palace would surely achieve far greater success than the Calamity Palace in the future.

With a slight smile, Lin Langtian looked at Mu Honglian and said, "Don't worry, they're just a bunch of rabble. In this Spirit Pool Competition, I will definitely not disgrace Silver Mist Palace, nor will I disappoint the Palace Master."

Speaking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but look at the cold and beautiful figure on the silver throne. He had to admit that, in terms of both appearance and temperament, Jiang Yinlan was in no way inferior to Ling Qingzhu and Tang Xinlian.

As Lin Langtian was carefully examining her, Jiang Yinlan's beautiful eyes happened to look over at that moment.

Their eyes met, and after a moment, Lin Langtian smiled slightly, cupped his hands slightly to Jiang Yinlan, and then looked calmly in the direction where the Calamity Guard was.

Jiang Yinlan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Lin Langtian, who seemed so calm and composed, as if victory was in his grasp.

Through their time together, she discovered that this new leader from the lower plane was becoming increasingly mysterious.

Her whole body seemed to be shrouded in mist, always giving people unexpected surprises, which made even the usually aloof and cold-looking woman unable to help but feel curious and subconsciously spy on her.

But the more Jiang Yinlan paid attention, the more she realized that Lin Langtian's behavior, methods, and talents were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Jiang Yinlan knew in her heart that Lin Langtian was obviously one of the top geniuses on his continent when he was in that lower plane.

But what Jiang Yinlan didn't know was that a woman's descent into a man often begins with interest and curiosity… (End of Chapter)
