Seven days later, Heavenhold Sect's Sacred Hall.
The Sacred Hall was located at the heart of the Heavenhold Sect and was the closest place to the Heavenhold Peak, where the generation sect master resided. It was the most sacred place within the sect, if not the entire Heavenhold Realm. Unless one was summoned, no one dared to go anywhere near it.
However, today was Heavenhold Sect's Great Sect Assembly, a gathering rarely seen once even in a thousand years. And for such a grand event, which brought the entire sect together, it only had one simple reason—the discipleship ceremony of the sect master's direct disciple!
Since the commotion last time, everyone in the sect gradually came to know about Yun Lintian's existence. Naturally, many of them were dissatisfied with the decision of Tian Yuhan. Such a grand event, she actually did it in secret. It was as if the other elders were outsiders.
At the same time, those sect master's direct disciple candidates were completely caught off guard. They were working so hard, yet an unknown person appeared out of nowhere and snatched their dream position away. How could they accept it?
Among them, Tian Feng and Tian Xue, the two most qualified candidates, were unwilling to accept such a result. Most of them had been competing with each other for many years, but the winner wasn't one of them.
Especially when they knew that Yun Lintian was only at the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm. If it wasn't for the elders stopping them, they would have stormed to Heavenhold Peak to meet him by now.
However, the chance finally arrived. Today, they would use this event to challenge Yun Lintian and expose him to the masses, letting everyone know he was unqualified.
It was still early in the morning, but the giant courtyard in front of the Sacred Hall was already packed with millions of disciples, peak masters, elders, palace masters, deacons, etc. Even the greater half of the peak masters had come. However, while the crowd was huge, it was extremely silent—silent enough to hear a needle dropping.
With less than an hour left to the start of the Great Sect Assembly, Yun Lintian finally set off with Ning Yue from their small hut at the top of the Heavenhold Peak.
As they were approaching the Sacred Hall region, a figure was also flying in the same direction behind them.
Seeing Yun Lintian, the figure glanced at him with hatred for n instant before immediately accelerating and overtaking them, disappearing from their lines of sight. This figure was no other than Tian Jia.
"Brother." Ning Yue tightened her grip on Yun Lintian's hand, looking at the disappearing Tian Jia worriedly. She could see what was waiting for him today.
"Sadly, it's unavoidable." Yun Lintian sighed softly. He naturally didn't want to come, but it couldn't be helped. "But there's nothing to worry about. At most, I will have to kick some people's ass."
"Be careful." Although Ning Yue trusted Yun Lintian wholeheartedly, it couldn't prevent her from worrying about him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the perimeter of the Sacred Hall. Countless gazes immediately landed on them as soon as they appeared.
Because Yun Lintian and Ning Yue didn't have nameplates on their shoulders like others, it wasn't difficult for everyone to guess their identity. Low discussions could immediately be heard in the crowd.
Being stared at by millions of people, Ning Yue couldn't help but become timid again. She stuck close to Yun Lintian and lowered her head in fright.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian didn't feel anything much. To him, these people were nothing but passersby he could see once in his lifetime. After today, most of them wouldn't appear in front of him again.
Yun Lintian looked toward the hall and saw Tian Hualing make eye contact with him, telling him to go inside. He smiled faintly and pulled Ning Yue into the hall under everyone's scrutinizing gaze.
In the crowd, a handsome young man dressed fully in white looked at Yun Lintian with a gloomy expression. He was Tian Feng, the current inner division student's head and one of the two candidates for the sect master's direct disciple position.
"You should calm down first. I'll find an opportunity for you to challenge him." A middle-aged man standing in front of Tian Feng said through a sound transmission. He was the Green Mountain Peak Master, Tian Shaoqing.
Tian Feng had been studying under Tian Shaoqing for years and could be regarded as a half-disciple of the latter.
Tian Shaoqing initially thought his future would be bright after Tian Feng became Tian Yuhan's direct disciple. When Tian Feng became the realm king in the future, Tian Shaoqing's status would be untouched.
Who would have thought that an unknown person named Lin Tian suddenly popped up out of nowhere? Therefore, his anger toward Yun Lintian was no less than Tian Feng's.
On the other side, a woman clad in pristine white with a cold aura looked at Yun Lintian calmly. She was another qualified candidate Tian Xue.
Compared to Tian Feng, Tian Xue was relatively calm and possessed no hatred toward Yun Lintian. On the contrary, she was brimming with a fighting spirit. Regarding Yun Lintian's matter, she believed that Tian Yuhan, her idol, wouldn't be so blind to choose a random person to be her disciple.
"Xue'er," A beautiful woman in front of Tian Xue suddenly sent a sound transmission to Tian Xue. She was the Snowfall Peak Master, Tian Xiaoli. "The rumor about him defeating Tian Jia is true. I've already confirmed it. And the previous terrifying sword intent should also be his. Do you want to continue?"
"Teacher, please let me compete with him. I want to test my limit." Tian Xue said calmly.
"Alright." Tian Xiaoli had already guessed the answer and certainly won't persuade her.
Yun Lintian walked to Tian Hualing and stood silently beside her.
"Tian Jia will definitely find trouble. I hope you are prepared for it." Tian Hualing said softly.
"Thank you for reminding me." Yun Lintian replied calmly.
Heavenhold Sacred Hall, at nine in the morning. Following the long cry of the enormous Heaven Sparrow that Yun Lintian saw when he first came here, the Heavenhold Realm King descended from the sky and sat on her sacred throne, officially starting the Great Sect Assembly…
