Yun Lintian got up and cupped his fists. "Junior Lin Tian greets Senior Ren."
Tian Ren nodded in response. He sized Yun Lintian up carefully again and still couldn't find anything special. Knowing Tian Hualing's personality, he was even more puzzled… Could it be he had an unusual background?
Regarding Yun Lintian's identity, Tian Ren could only give up temporarily. He turned to Tian Xiaodie and said. "Since they are Supreme Elder's guests, why don't you bring them to a private room?"
Tian Xiaodie replied calmly. "It's Supreme Elder's wish."
"Is that so? Alright." Tian Ren nodded slightly and returned to his seat.
Yun Lintian naturally felt nothing about Tian Ren's seemingly cold attitude toward him. He came here for the sake of training, not playing politics. Hence, he didn't have to flatter or care about these people.
When Tian Ren returned to his seat at the other end of the hall, a middle-aged man who sat beside him asked while looking at Yun Lintian. "Who are they?"
Tian Ren sat back in his seat and said. "They are brought over by Supreme Elder. You better don't mess with them."
Although he said this, Tian Ren's voice seemed to mix with a trace of dissatisfaction for some reason.
The middle-aged man, Tian Shan, was surprised. "Supreme Elder brought someone here?… If I remember correctly, she has never brought anyone to the sect, right? What's so special about them?"
Yun Lintian seemed to notice this. He merely smiled at Tian Shan and paid no heed to him further.
Ning Yue was a little timid. She drew closer to Yun Lintian and whispered. "I feel like they don't like us."
"It doesn't matter. Let them be." Yun Lintian replied casually.
"Mhm." Ning Yue nodded heavily.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a cold expression walked into the hall. She immediately spotted Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu. "Today is the Heaven Palace's great recruitment day, what are you two doing here?"
The expressions of Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu stiffen visibly upon hearing this. They quickly got up and said respectfully. "We greet Palace Master Jia. We're here under the Supreme Elder's order."
They then quickly introduced Yun Lintian and Ning Yue. "They are Lin Tian and Lin Yue. Supreme Elder brought them here."
Yun Lintian glanced at the approaching middle-aged woman and immediately felt a sharp cold intent stab into his eyes, causing him to involuntarily frown. This was the first time they met, yet this woman seemed to specially target him out of nowhere.
And based on Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu's appearances, they were clearly afraid of this person.
"Tian Hualing's order?" The middle-aged woman, Tian Jia, glanced at Yun Lintian and Ning Yue before sneering. "This is not a place where a cat and dog can come and go at will. Get out!"
The temperature in the hall dropped significantly as her voice fell.
Tian Xiaodie's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly explained. "Supreme Elder will arrive…."
"So what? Are you in charge of this place or me?" Tian Jia interrupted Tian Xiaodie coldly. She glanced at Yun Lintian and said. "For the sake of Tian Hualing's face, I won't pursue this matter. Now, get lost!"
Ning Yue was frightened by Tian Jia's cold and loud voice. She stuck close to Yun Lintian, trembling.
Meanwhile, Tian Ren and Tian Shan looked at the scene with great interest. They wanted to see how Yun Lintian was going to respond.
"She and Supreme Elder are a long rival. In the past, she lost to Supreme Elder and was sent to reside over the Heaven Palace. We should leave first." Tian Xiaowu sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian immediately understood. He glanced in the entrance's direction briefly before saying openly with a smile. "It turned out to be a bitter woman."
He shook his head with a chuckle before pulling Ning Yue away, preparing to leave.
Tian Xiaodie and the others couldn't believe their ears. They looked at Yun Lintian in horror. How could he dare to say it in front of Tian Jia like that?
Who was Tian Jia? That was a former candidate for the Supreme Elder position! Even though she lost in the end, her strength wasn't much inferior to Tian Hualing at all.
Yun Lintian's words were like a fuse, triggering Tian Jia's bad experiences in the past. Her anger soared through the roof as her aura burst out. "What did you say? Say it again."
Facing the aura of the peak of the Divine Sovereign, Yun Lintian channeled his divine energy to protect Ning Yue and said calmly. "You really want to hear it again?… Fine. I just said that you're a bitter woman."
"Holy shit!" Tian Shan exclaimed in shock. "This little guy has the gut!"
"What a fool." Tian Ren shook his head. He seemed to already see the scene where Yun Lintian was reduced into a blood mist.
"Palace Master Jia, you can't!" Tian Xiaodie returned to her sense and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to stop Tian Jia.
However, Tian Jia completely ignored her. She stared at Yun Lintian coldly. "Very good. It seems you're not a timid dog."
"A timid dog? That term should be used on you, a bitter woman who vents her anger randomly on people. If you have the gut, why don't you go to Tian Hualing and face her instead?" Yun Lintian responded fearlessly, looking at Tian Jia with a disdainful smile.
"Die!" Tian Jia didn't waste her saliva further. She raised her palm and slapped Yun Lintian. The mighty force around her arm was so strong that it made the entire hall tremble.
Yun Lintian had already been prepared for this. His pupils suddenly turned golden, resembling a tiger's eyes. He opened his mouth and let out a soul-stirring roar.
Roar—
The entire hall shook violently, and everyone inside felt as if their souls had flown out of their bodies.
Tian Jia's movement abruptly stopped, and her eyes were full of confusion.
Immediately, Yun Lintian summoned the White Dragon Spear and thrust it at Tian Jia's chest with a fire dragon coiling around it.
BOOOM!
The spear's tip mercilessly pierced into Tian Jia's chest, followed by a burst of a powerful explosion, sending Tian Jia flying and crashing onto the wall not far away from Tian Ren's position.
Yun Lintian retracted his spear and quickly channeled his divine energy to calm himself down.
The hall immediately went deathly silent…
