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

"Vice Sect Master, Lin Langtian?"

When these two words reached the ears of the many powerful figures in the hall, they were immediately startled, and their eyes turned to the suddenly appearing figure in green robes with suspicion and uncertainty.

The person in front of me is Lin Langtian, one of the two masters of Yinlan Palace and the vice sect master of Qiankun Sect.

He did look very young, but what puzzled everyone was that they seemed to sense a faint but powerful aura emanating from him, like a primordial mountain.

Xu Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks, looking at Lin Langtian with surprise and suspicion, and asked, "Are you the Vice Sect Master, Heavenly Demon King?"

His words were mostly probing, lacking much reverence. After all, he was a ninth-rank supreme being, and one of the best among them, and quite famous throughout the Qiankun Continent.

It is said that Lin Langtian in the past was only a sixth or seventh grade Supreme, so he naturally had the capital to maintain his pride.

Lin Langtian glanced at the man indifferently and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Xiuyuan noticed Lin Langtian's calm gaze and felt a pang of unease for some reason. He then involuntarily said, "This subordinate, Xu Xiuyuan, is an elder assigned to Yinlan Palace by the sect leader."

Lin Langtian nodded slightly, then his gaze swept across the room. Those who were drawn to him immediately stood up, clasped their hands in greeting, and announced their names.

After the last person finished speaking, Lin Langtian casually withdrew his gaze, and the oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped everyone dissipated. This relieved everyone, but also left them feeling secretly horrified and puzzled.

They couldn't understand why Lin Langtian, who looked so young, possessed such a commanding presence.

The news said that this sect leader, the Heavenly Demon King, was only promoted by chance by the sect leader, and that he only had the strength of a sixth or seventh grade supreme being.

"Lin... Vice Sect Master, you're finally back." Mu Honglian looked at Lin Langtian from behind, first startled, then a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

When Jiang Yinlan saw Lin Langtian, she bit her red lips lightly with her silver teeth, and a strange light appeared in her usually indifferent eyes.

Lin Langtian nodded gently to Jiang Yinlan, Mu Honglian, and the other elders of Yinlan Palace.

Then he turned around, his gaze returning to the unfamiliar yet somewhat arrogant powerful figures in the hall, and said indifferently.

“I don’t care what your past reputation was, but now that you’ve entered my Silver Mist Palace, you have to abide by the rules of my Silver Mist Palace.”

"You all intend to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate; do you not want to live?"

The growth of Yinlan Palace to this scale has exceeded Lin Langtian's expectations. Not to mention, among the newly joined experts, there are at least five whose auras are stronger than Jiang Yinlan's.

This also shows how powerful the Qiankun Sect has become.

Regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Yinlan was Lin Langtian's first and most trusted ally and partner in the Qiankun Sect, so how could he allow her to be bullied?

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuyuan and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.

They never expected Lin Langtian to be so arrogant and domineering upon his appearance, even threatening their lives.

In the past, when Lin Langtian was not around, although Jiang Yinlan was the head of the palace, they did not give her much respect.

After all, the latter's strength was insignificant in their eyes, so during this period, Xu Xiuyuan was also trying to find ways to divide up some of Jiang Yinlan's power and shake her position.

But Lin Langtian's words have clearly shattered his ambitions completely.

Xu Xiuyuan's eyes shifted, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Vice Sect Master, although Palace Master Jiang is an elder of the Qiankun Sect, her strength is weak after all."

The Silver Mist Palace is now vast in scale, with countless powerful figures under its command. We merely wish to share some of the burden with Palace Master Jiang. If even this is not acceptable, we may all be dissatisfied!

In the end, Xu Xiuyuan looked up and stared directly at Lin Langtian. He was a ninth-grade supreme being, and with such strength, he even had the ability to compete for the position of elder in the Qiankun Sect. If he succeeded in the competition, his status would rise sharply.

In his opinion, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was more valuable than Jiang Yinlan.

As soon as Xu Xiuyuan finished speaking, some voices of agreement rang out, those of the powerful individuals whom Xu Xiuyuan had recruited.

Hearing these voices of support, Xu Xiuyuan felt more confident, and his slightly bent body gradually straightened up.

However, when he looked at Lin Langtian, he found that the latter's young face was completely calm, and his black eyes were indifferent as he looked at the opposition of the crowd.

That indifferent attitude made Xu Xiuyuan feel somewhat uneasy.

Amidst his unease, many powerful figures in the hall witnessed Lin Langtian slowly stand up. He glanced down indifferently and said, "Did I say I was discussing this with you?"

His tone was calm, but the domineering intent it contained silenced the entire hall, and all the powerful figures were shaken.

Xu Xiuyuan was also taken aback by Lin Langtian's domineering attitude, then frowned and said, "Vice..."

boom!
However, the moment his voice left his mouth, Lin Langtian's dark gaze suddenly shot down from the head of the hall, and the spiritual energy in the world seemed to suddenly surge.

boom!
A terrifying sense of oppression swept in from all directions. Before Xu Xiuyuan could even react, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost control of his body.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees in the hall with a thud. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth pressed down on his body like a mountain.

The feeling was as if if the person in front of him had even the slightest murderous intent, his immense spiritual power could crush him into mincemeat.

Everyone felt at that moment that a terrifying surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from Lin Langtian's body like a volcano, sweeping through the entire hall like a storm. Upon sensing this surge of spiritual energy, all the powerful figures in the hall paled, their eyes filled with disbelief.

That spiritual energy fluctuation actually subtly surpassed the level of a ninth-grade supreme being!
Above the Ninth Rank Supreme is the Earthly Supreme!

Although it is unknown whether Lin Langtian is a half-step Earthly Sovereign or a true Earthly Sovereign, it is clear that he has already transcended the Sovereign realm!

Xu Xiuyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was also terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Wasn't it said that Lin Langtian was only a sixth or seventh grade supreme being?
But the current spiritual pressure is probably comparable to that of those Earthly Sovereigns.

boom!boom!
Inside the main hall, the many powerful figures who had been observing immediately knelt down, their previous arrogance vanishing completely.

Facing a super strong expert comparable to a supreme being, if they acted too recklessly, they would probably be wiped out with a flick of their wrists.

Lin Langtian gazed indifferently at the rows of kneeling figures in the main hall and said calmly, "Does anyone have any objections?"

Lin Langtian did not use any appeasement tactics with these future subordinates.

He knew that the only way to completely tame these unruly individuals was through the most domineering and unreasonable methods.

Even Xu Xiuyuan shuddered, his body covered in cold sweat, but he dared not utter another word.

Ahead, Mu Honglian's red lips were slightly parted, and her beautiful eyes stared in shock at the sharp and domineering Lin Langtian. Even though her strength was low, she could still feel that Lin Langtian's aura was many times stronger than before.

An incredulous look flashed in Jiang Yinlan's eyes.

Earthly Sovereign… Lin Langtian actually broke through to the Earthly Sovereign realm?

It's only been a short time...

Inside the main hall, all was silent. Many powerful figures secretly glanced at Lin Langtian at the head of the table. The initial surprise and doubt in their eyes had disappeared, replaced by awe.

Clearly, the strength Lin Langtian had previously displayed was quite astonishing.

“I never expected Silver Mist Palace to grow to such a size. But now that you are all members of Silver Mist Palace, if you ever rebel again, then you will all go to see the King of Hell.”

Lin Langtian's indifferent voice echoed in the hall, causing everyone to tremble.

In the past, people might have just laughed it off.

But now that they have personally experienced Lin Langtian's formidable strength, they understand that with his strength and status within the Qiankun Sect, he is indeed qualified to do so.

"We have absolutely no disloyal intentions!"

Many powerful figures broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly expressed their loyalty. This time, even Xu Xiuyuan dared not show the slightest arrogance. He was clearly suppressed and subdued, no longer daring to rely on his seniority.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the main hall had completely quieted down, Lin Langtian and Jiang Yinlan exchanged a glance.

Although Jiang Yinlan was still in shock at Lin Langtian's strength, she slowly composed herself and smiled slightly, clearly satisfied with the latter's intimidation.

"Is today the sect's grand meeting?" After thoroughly resolving the internal issues, Lin Langtian suddenly learned this news from Jiang Yinlan.

Mu Honglian stepped forward and recounted all the details of today's sect meeting.

"The Lord of the Blood Nether Palace? The Barbarian Emperor of the Barbarian Sect?" Lin Langtian's expression shifted slightly upon hearing these two names.

Lin Langtian had some recollection of these two people, after all, he had observed them from afar during the Continental Hunting War.

These two were also powerful figures in the Qiankun Continent. Unexpectedly, they have now joined the Qiankun Sect, and judging from their appearance, they even intend to compete for the position of the sect's vice sect leader.

"The two of them are currently very influential within the Qiankun Sect, and their strength has reached the level to compete for the position of vice sect leader. Judging from the current situation, their chances of success are quite high."

At this point, Mu Honglian pouted slightly, her rosy lips showing a hint of resentment.

"However, I heard that the sect leader doesn't actually want to promote a vice sect leader so quickly, but there are too many new and powerful people joining and being recruited recently, so he can only add a vice sect leader position to appease people's hearts."

Mu Honglian's words were already somewhat veiled, because in her view, neither the Lord of the Blood Nether Palace nor the Barbarian Emperor of the Barbarian Sect had temporarily pledged allegiance to the Qiankun Sect because they saw that the Qiankun Sect's dominance over the Qiankun Continent was unstoppable, and they were not worthy of trust.

Moreover, if a vice sect leader is chosen now, where will the original vice sect leader, Lin Langtian, be placed?
However, Mu Honglian refrained from saying such things for the sake of the bigger picture.

After listening to Mu Honglian's words, Lin Langtian looked at Jiang Yinlan. Jiang Yinlan looked at Lin Langtian and sensed the unfathomable aura within him. She bit her lip and hesitated before saying, "If possible, I hope you can stop these two from becoming the vice sect leader. I believe the sect leader will support you from behind."

Although both the Lord of the Blood Nether Palace and the Barbarian Emperor were veteran Earth Supreme experts, for some reason, in Jiang Yinlan's mind, Lin Langtian seemed to be even stronger than the two of them at this moment.

Lin Langtian smiled, then stood up and said, "Let's go."

Mu Honglian was taken aback: "Where to?"

"Since it's a sect gathering, we're naturally indispensable." Lin Langtian waved his sleeve and then smiled lightly.

What he said next shocked everyone in the hall, and disbelief filled their eyes.

"Moreover, one deputy sect master is enough for the Qiankun Sect..." (End of this chapter)
