656 Senior Direct Disciples

The golden light that surged around Lin Dong, who was in the sky, wasgradually withdrawn. The sharp pressure also quietly disappeared. After which,he directly descended on a flat platform in front of many pairs of eyes.

When Lin Dong’s figure landed, Mo Ling’s group, who had been waiting for along time, immediately came to receive him. Their faces contained some joy.

“Brother Lin Dong, congratulations on successfully enduring the tribulation.”

Lin Dong smiled when he heard the congratulations from Mo Ling’s group. Afterwhich, his eyes swept over the place and was immediately startled. He did notsee Little Martern or Little Flame.

“Where is Little Marten and Little Flame?”

“The Little Marten duo left the Dao Sect three days ago. They instructed me tohand this to you before they left…” Mo Ling shrugged his shoulders. They wereaware of just how unfathomable Little Marten was. Therefore, they did not findhis unique actions to be strange. Mo Ling also extended his hand while utteringthose words. His palm had a flowing golden light within it. Lin Dong couldsense a trace of demonic spiritual aura from Little Marten within the goldenlight.

“They have left huh…”

Lin Dong sighed softly. He curled his mouth and took the golden light from MoLing’s hand. The golden light was channelled into his body the moment itreached his hand. A blurry figure also appeared within his mind. It was LittleMarten.

“Lin Dong, I have taken Little Flame and left first. There is a place inEastern Xuan Region which is very beneficial to his training. It is likely thatyou will be quite safe within Dao Sect and I can leave feeling rest assured.Once Little Flame has completed his training, I will bring him back.Additionally, I can also recover some of my strength during this time. In thefuture… there will be other issues.”

Little Marten’s handsome face turned a little shady when he mentioned thispoint. His voice also contained a trace of densely cold killing intent.

Lin Dong was quiet. He was aware that there were many unresolved issues fromthe past. Little Marten was the previous owner of the mysterious stonetalisman. However, he ended up being forced by others until such a sorry stage.Had he not met Lin Dong, it was likely that he would gradually scatter likesmoke within the stone talisman. That fate could be considered miserable.

“I understand your character. If anything happens to me, you will definitelylend me a hand even if it meant risking death. However, I must still tell youthat if you wish to assist me in the future, you must increase your strength.Otherwise, I will resolve those issues by myself.”

“Since I have already acknowledged you as my brother, I do not wish for you toseek death for no reason. By being able to force me at my peak state back thento such an extent, my opponent is not some simple person…”

“I will leave a trace of demonic spirit seal in your body and I will contactyou directly if anything happens in the future. If something happens to you,you can directly shatter this demonic spirit seal and I will be able to senseit. Grandpa Marten will stand up for you if you suffer any grievances in DaoSect. It is not the Dao Sect place to bully my brother.”

“Additionally, amongst the three of us, even though that foolish tiger LittleFlame has always been on your side, you must show some true ability if you wantto be the big brother. Heh, otherwise, Grandpa Marten will not agree to it.Therefore, you should train hard during this period of time…”

Little Martens’ illusory body gradually disappeared after this voice slowlysounded. Finally, it transformed into a golden light that concealed itself inLin Dong’s body.

“This fellow…” The corner of Lin Dong’s mouth was gently lifted a little.Immediately, the fist under his hand was gradually tightened. He faced the skyand inhaled a deep breath.

“You can be rest assured. Although you refuse to admit it till the day youdie, I will surpass you no matter what in order to get you to willinglyacknowledge me as big brother. In the future, we three brothers will definitelymake a name for ourselves in this world together…”

Back then, they had walked out from that small Qingyang Town. At that time,one of them was a weak youth, another was a demonic spirit that could disappearanytime. From a certain point of view, the two of them could be considered tohave relied on each other until today. This relationship was indeed somethingthat an ordinary person had difficulty understanding.

Lin Dong gradually calmed the ripple within his heart. After all, this was notsome life or death separation. With his current strength, Lin Dong alreadypossessed the ability to protect himself and there was even less need to worryabout the safety of Little Marten and Little Flame. Currently, Little Martenpossessed the physical body of a Celestial Demon Marten and he would not be ata disadvantage even when faced with a Mysterious Life Stage expert. Hence, hisstrength was considered top tier in the Eastern Xuan Region. As long as nounforeseen incidents occurred, it was likely that they would be extremely safe.

Currently, the only thing that he needs to be worry about is to successfullycomprehend the Great Desolated Scripture!

After calming himself down, Lin Dong raised his head and smiled towards MoLing’s group. He was just about to speak when he suddenly sensed a pair of eyescontaining a pressuring feeling shooting towards him. His brows were liftedimmediately. He turned his head before his eyes turned towards the spot wherethe sight came from.

The spot where Lin Dong looked at, stood a dark red clothed man. The man’s armhugged his chest and he had an indifferent expression. Although he did not sayanything, there was a powerful pressure being scattered over.

Lin Dong saw a somewhat embarrassed looking Tong Chuan behind this man. Hiseyes flickered, appearing as though he had guessed something.

“The commotion that you had caused this time around is too big. Even the foursenior direct disciples of the Desolate Hall headed over after being informed.That person called Jiang Hao is an extremely renowned person. Moreover, he isextremely protective of those close to him. Tong Chuan is from the same groupas him. You should be careful…” Mo Ling softly spoke from beside Lin Dong. Histone contain some worry. No matter how one put it, Jiang Hao was one of thefour senior direct disciples and he was one of the most outstanding DesolateHall disciples.

Lin Dong nodded slightly. He also clearly understood that the disciples withinthe Desolate Hall were divided into factions. Clearly, the factions of the foursenior direct disciples were the strongest. This time around, even though itwas justifiable for Lin Dong to take Tong Chuan’s spot, it likely caused somepeople to feel displeased. Competition was something that would not be absentanywhere…

With this thought in mind, Lin Dong looked towards three different directions.There were three other senior direct disciples there. It was possible for himto sense a pressure that was not inferior to Jiang Hao. Based on his estimates,it was likely that all four of them had advanced to the Seven Yuan NirvanaStage…

“They are indeed the most outstanding disciples in Desolate Hall…”

A praise flashed across Lin Dong’s heart. Although the Desolate Hall wasconsidered the weakest amongst the four halls, a camel on the brink of deathwas still stronger than a horse. This foundation was still something that oneshould not underestimate.

Of course, these four senior direct disciples were indeed no ordinaryindividuals. However, neither was Lin Dong some soft persimmon. If they were toreally fight, Lin Dong would not feel the least bit afraid of them…

Swoosh!

The sound of wind being split apart was transmitted from midair. Immediately,Chen Zhen’s and Wu Dao’s figure appeared on this platform. All the DesolateHall disciples hurriedly bowed and greeted them when they saw this. Even thosefour senior direct disciples withdrew their haughtiness. Clearly, all theDesolate Hall’s disciples greatly respected these two hall chiefs.

“Haha, Lin Dong, well done.”

Chen Zhen waved his hands towards the many disciples. After which, his eyeslooked at Lin Dong. His old face was covered with smiles. Clearly, he wasextremely satisfied with the result that Lin Dong had achieved during the PillRiver Head Immersion.

“Hall chief has overpraised me. I was merely lucky.” Lin Dong hurriedly spokein a humble manner when he heard this.

Chen Zhen smilingly stared at Lin Dong. The joy within his eyes could not behidden. He mused for a moment before saying, “With your current achievement,you already possess the qualification to be promoted to become a senior directdisciple despite your brief time here.”

Clamor.

Some uproar appeared from the platform when Chen Zhen’s voice sounded.Numerous envious eyes looked towards Lin Dong. Strictly speaking, there werefour types of disciples within the Desolate Hall: branch disciples, desolatehall disciple and the direct disciple. Above the direct disciple is the seniordirect disciple…

There were tens of thousands of branch disciples in Desolate Hall, threethousand desolate hall disciples and three hundred direct disciples. However,there were only four senior direct disciples!

From this, one could tell just how distinguished this status was!

Moreover, the most important thing was that only a senior direct disciple hadthe right to study the Great Desolated Scripture. Many disciples of theDesolate Hall had put in an endless amount of hard work in order to become asenior direct disciple. However, in front of their very eyes, Lin Dong, who hadjust entered the Desolate Hall for less than half a month, was actuallydirectly granted an exception and made a senior direct disciple. This causedmany people to be so envious that their eyes turned red.

Although they were envious, they clearly understood that the ability that LinDong had displayed did entitle him to such an exception…

Lin Dong was similarly startled because of Chen Zhen’s words. A joyimmediately surged within his heart. In this way, he was one step closer to theGreat Desolated Scripture!

“Thank you, hall chief!”

Lin Dong took a step forward. He cupped his hands in thanks. However, hisvoice had just sounded when a deep cry suddenly sounded from behind him.

“Wait!”

Swoosh!

The eyes of the everyone present turned. Finally, they looked towards theback. The red-clothed Jiang Hao was crossing his hands before he looked at LinDong with icy cold eyes. Meanwhile, a frightening Yuan Power ripple slowlyspread from within his body.
