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

"Serpent King!"

Lin Langtian frowned slightly as he looked at the man with a sharp face and a cold aura.

Unexpectedly, the Earth Desolate Palace actually used two King-level experts this time. Although the Poisonous Serpent King was not as strong as the Ice Glacier King, he had obviously reached the peak of the Fifth Grade Supreme, which was even stronger than the Desolate Immortal.

"Serpent King, it seems the Earth Desolate Palace is truly going to war with the Qiankun Sect?" Jiang Yinlan looked at the red-robed figure and said coldly.

“Hiss…”

The Serpent King seemed to chuckle, his laughter sounding like a snake's call. He sneered, "Qiankun Sect, nothing but a declining, destitute place. From now on, there will be no place for you on the Qiankun Continent."

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Yinlan and Lin Langtian looked rather grim.

Judging from this, the other party seems to have them completely under their control.

"Hmph, the Earth Desolate Palace has quite the arrogance. If they want to snatch people from my Qiankun Sect, they're just dreaming!"

However, just as the two kings of the Desolate Palace were pressing their advantage, a cold snort suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

A sharp spear intent seemed to surge from the sky behind them, and a spear shadow flashed from the distant horizon, appearing in the world a few breaths later.

Countless eyes were drawn to it.

The figure was dressed in a long robe. He was about middle-aged, with a square face and an extremely powerful aura. A golden spear was stuck in his back.

His aura was in no way inferior to that of the Ice King, and was even slightly stronger.

The moment this person appeared in this world, a powerful spear intent swept across the land.

"That's... the Long Spear King of the Qiankun Sect!" The many powerful figures exclaimed in surprise when they saw the newcomer.

No one expected that not only did the Earth Desolate Palace send two kings, but the Qiankun Sect also sent two kings. Such a scene must be quite significant.

Lin Langtian was also taken aback when he saw the Long Spear King. He then looked at Jiang Yinlan and saw a look of doubt on her pretty face.

"You don't need to guess anymore. The sect leader sent me. He knows the temperament of the Lord of the Desolate Palace very well, so he sent me to protect you in secret. I didn't expect it to actually be of any use."

"If a great contributor who has made outstanding contributions to my Qiankun Sect in the Dragon Kun Realm is killed, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of my Qiankun Sect." The Long Spear King came to Lin Langtian's side, carefully examined Lin Langtian, and explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian suddenly realized what was happening, and then gratefully cupped his hands to the Spear King: "Thank you, Sect Master and Spear King!"

Long Spear King shook his head and said, "You earned all of this yourself. If you had died in the Dragon Kun Realm and never come out, apart from the Silver Mist Technique, I'm afraid not many people in the entire Qiankun Sect would care."

But now you have not only come out safely and smoothly, but you have also made a great name for yourself in the Dragon Kun Realm, which has spread throughout the continent. When the news gets back, the sect leader, the grand elder and other high-ranking members will surely be greatly shocked. At that time, you will have a bright future in the sect.

My assistance today is merely to curry favor with you.

Hearing the spear king's frankness, Lin Langtian felt even more favorably disposed towards him. He cupped his hands to the spear king again and said, "Please rest assured, spear king, I will never forget your kindness today. In the future, if you have any instructions, just let me know."

Seeing Lin Langtian's statement, the Long Spear King nodded in satisfaction. If the former really didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind selling him back to the Earth Desolate Palace.

"Long Spear King, I didn't expect even you to show up. When did the kings of the Qiankun Sect become so free?"

On the other side, upon seeing the Spear King, the Glacier King couldn't help but show an ugly expression on his face, and said.

Compared to him, who had just advanced to the sixth-rank supreme level, the Long Spear King was a veteran sixth-rank supreme expert, whose combat power and reputation surpassed his.

The fact that the Qiankun Sect dispatched Silver Mist King and Long Spear King in succession caught him somewhat off guard.

"Likewise, the two kings of the Desolate Palace are wandering around, probably not doing their proper work either," the Long Spear King said calmly.

"Now that we're two against two, if you don't want to go back with injuries, you'd better head home now."

Upon hearing this, both the Spear King and the Serpent King's faces darkened. If the two of them had made their move, Lin Langtian, even with nine lives, would definitely not have been able to escape their grasp.

But to everyone's surprise, the Qiankun Sect was also prepared and sent two kings to deal with it, so they had no chance to make a move.

"Hmph, the green hills remain unchanged and the clear waters flow on forever. My Desolate Palace and your Qiankun Sect will have a battle sooner or later. When that time comes, I hope you will still be so confident," the Ice King said coldly.

"My Qiankun Sect will fight to the end!" the Long Spear King said indifferently.

The Ice King ignored him and turned his gaze to Lin Langtian, saying coldly, "The hatred for killing my son, given time, I, the Ice King, will surely tear you to pieces!"

"I, Lin Langtian, will accompany you to the end," Lin Langtian said calmly.

Glacier King's expression grew increasingly cold, but with Spear King and Silver Mist King standing before Lin Langtian, he could only manage a flash of extreme resentment in his eyes upon seeing this situation before coldly snorting, "Withdraw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Glacier King turned and left, and the Serpent King, who was standing to the side, pondered for a moment before following closely behind.

"Let's not delay any longer, let's return to the Qiankun Sect." After seeing that the Ice King and the other two had completely left, the Long Spear King looked at Lin Langtian and the other two and said.

"Mm." Lin Langtian and Jiang Yinlan nodded in agreement.

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them transformed into three streaks of light and flew away into the distance.

As Lin Langtian departed, the countless lingering gazes from the Dragon Kun Mountain Range finally receded.

Seeing that everything in the world had calmed down, they did not linger and quickly left, each filled with shock.

However, it is likely that soon, news about the Dragon Kun Realm and what happened here will spread like wildfire throughout the entire Qiankun Continent.

Lin Langtian, who was previously unknown, will obviously become the most watched dark horse in the Qiankun Continent.

"Commander Lin, you did a great job this time, bringing back a lot of face for our Qiankun Sect. I'm sure the Sect Master and the others will be very happy, especially since you even managed to outdo that Huang Buxiu." Long Spear King smiled at Lin Langtian during the journey.

"You flatter me, King of Long Spears," Lin Langtian said with a faint smile.

"I heard that Huang Buxiu is not only a fifth-grade supreme being, but also cultivated a powerful Dharma body from the same lineage as Huang Kurong and the sect leader. I never expected that you could snatch food from his mouth." Jiang Yinlan looked at Lin Langtian with surprise in her beautiful eyes, her eyes filled with undisguised astonishment and curiosity.

"I was lucky," Lin Langtian said with a smile, not wanting to reveal too much.

Seeing Lin Langtian's concise and to-the-point remarks, Jiang Yinlan became even more curious. Seeing that Lin Langtian didn't want to say more, the Long Spear King tactfully changed the subject, saying, "After we return this time, our Qiankun Sect's 'King Conferment Ceremony' will begin. With Commander Lin's strength and merits, you are more than qualified to become the tenth king of our Qiankun Sect."

Lin Langtian was taken aback. He stared at the Long Spear King with some surprise, and then a sense of astonishment welled up in his heart.

When he first arrived at the Qiankun Sect, the status of the sect's kings was vastly different from his own. However, in less than a year, he was able to stand on equal footing with them. Such a rapid pace of progress surprised Lin Langtian himself.

Jiang Yinlan, standing to the side, had mixed feelings. On one hand, she was overjoyed that Lin Langtian had been made a king, but on the other hand, she felt a sense of loss and even a strange emotion welled up in her heart as she thought about how her Yinlan Palace had lost a great general.

"Long Spear King, could you explain the King Conferment Ceremony to me in detail?" Lin Langtian knew that after being conferred a kingship, his status in the Qiankun Sect would rise significantly, which would be a great benefit to his own development.

Therefore, he was somewhat interested in being granted the title of king.

Long Spear King nodded and said, "Being conferred the title of King is an extremely important matter in our Qiankun Sect."

Our Qiankun Sect has a vast territory and numerous subordinate forces. The number of city lords alone is close to a thousand, and the vast majority of them have made contributions to the Qiankun Sect.

Generally speaking, new kings are chosen from among them, so the position of the tenth king is coveted by many.

"Oh, who are the strong candidates?" Lin Langtian asked.

Long Spear King glanced at Lin Langtian, seemingly noticing the latter's great interest in being crowned king. This was only natural, as everyone wants to improve.

Long Spear King said again, "If it weren't for your appearance this time, there would be two people in our Qiankun Sect who would have the most prestige to be granted the title of King."

Long Spear King calmly said, "Firstly, there is Zhao Gao, the city lord of Qiankun City, the largest city under our Qiankun Sect."

“Qiankun City, Zhao Gao?” Lin Langtian murmured, not entirely unfamiliar with the name.

He already knew from previous information that Zhao Gao had a long and distinguished career in the Qiankun Sect, and his prestige was almost comparable to that of the Ninth Prince. However, his strength had never broken through to the Fifth Grade Supreme, which was why he had not been able to be enfeoffed as a prince for so long.

But now that he has become a strong candidate for the title of king, his strength must have broken through to the fifth-rank supreme level.

"The other person is the Blood Demon Sect's Sect Master, Li Xue Shou. He has been a Fifth-Rank Supreme for many years, but he missed the last King Conferment Ceremony and therefore did not receive the title of King. It is said that he is determined to receive the title this time and is very confident in his ability to do so..."

“The Bloodthirsty Hand,” Lin Langtian murmured. This was also a highly respected figure in the Qiankun Sect, who had once opened up vast territories for the sect.

“Both of them seem more suitable than me,” Lin Langtian said.

Although he quickly rose to fame during his year at the Qiankun Sect, his seniority was still far inferior to those two.

If he were to be made a king, it would likely cause a lot of trouble.

"Hehe, although they are all more experienced than you, in terms of merit, they may not necessarily be as great as you. After all, you single-handedly revived the declining reputation of my Qiankun Sect on the continent. This is far more valuable than any territory or land."

Besides, although you are only a fourth-grade Supreme, even the Desolate Immortal was defeated by you, which shows that you have strength comparable to a fifth-grade Supreme. Therefore, I have high hopes for you in this King Conferment Ceremony.” The Spear King patted Lin Langtian on the shoulder and smiled.

The reason he helped Lin Langtian when the Ice King and his companion tried to kill him was because he saw Lin Langtian's potential. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have done something so thankless.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's heart stirred. It seemed that he really had to take a gamble this time at the King Conferment Ceremony.

After all, the Dragon Kun Divine Technique that he wanted to cultivate required a lot of precious materials, and once he became king, he would have the right to establish his own government, which would make things much easier.

……

When Lin Langtian returned to the Qiankun Sect, as expected, he was greeted with a grand victory celebration banquet.

Clearly, the entire Qiankun Sect knew about his achievements in the Dragon Kun Realm through special means.

Such a record was enough to greatly enhance the reputation of this once-declining old power.

Over the years, although the Qiankun Sect has become one of the top powers in the Qiankun Continent, as the former overlord of the continent, its every move has been watched closely.

However, with its strength waning, the Qiankun Sect has rarely accomplished anything truly inspiring.

However, Lin Langtian's performance in the Dragon Kun Realm showed the world that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the foundation of the Qiankun Sect still far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

Lin Langtian defeated Liu Tianxing, fought against the immortal, and finally ascended the tenth step of the Dragon Kun Ladder, which no one had ever succeeded in before. He successfully obtained the most precious inheritance in the Dragon Kun Realm, and the name of Lin Langtian of the Qiankun Sect became famous far and wide.

The entire Qiankun Sect was in an uproar.

Those high-ranking officials who had previously harbored doubts have almost all fallen silent.

Although they still found it hard to believe, they had to begin to admit that this newcomer, who had joined the Qiankun Sect less than a year ago, was now rising like a comet across the Qiankun Continent.
Perhaps it won't be long before he becomes a prominent figure on this continent.

Upon returning to the Qiankun Sect, Sect Master Qian Tian personally received him. After praising Lin Langtian highly, he inquired about matters concerning the Dragon Kun Realm and the Dragon Kun Inheritance. Of course, Qian Tian's final focus was on Huang Buxiu's Supreme Law.

Upon learning that Huang Buxiu had also cultivated the Great Sun Undying Body, Qian Tian's expression turned extremely ugly, as if his own treasure had been stolen by an outsider.

Seeing Qian Tian's unpleasant expression, Lin Langtian wisely took his leave.

He had already guessed that Huang Ku Rong probably coveted the Great Sun Undying Body, which is why he rebelled, stole the cultivation method of the Great Sun Undying Body, and then established his own sect.

Ironically, the current power of the Desolate Palace is actually greater than that of the Qiankun Sect.

Lin Langtian shook his head and returned to Yinlan Palace.

At this moment, a victory celebration banquet was being held at Yinlan Palace.

During the victory celebration banquet, everyone in Silver Mist Palace was undoubtedly extremely excited and proud.

Lin Langtian is the leader of their Silver Mist Palace. His excellence has made the Silver Mist Palace, which has been suppressed for a long time, feel proud.

From now on, no one in the Qiankun Sect will dare to look down on their Silver Mist Palace.

The celebration banquet lasted for two whole days before the wave of excitement gradually subsided within the Qiankun Sect.

Lin Langtian finally freed himself from all the entanglements and began to have the energy to study the Dragon Kun Divine Technique... (End of this chapter)
