C471 Thousands of fingers

Ling Xiao Sacred Sect immediately quietened down. After Ling Wuji returned from the Demon Valley, he did not say anything and did not announce anything. Instead, he chose to close his doors once again.

In the battles between the six sects, it wasn't only their disciples who were being tested, but also the elders and the sect head.

At that time, it would be the time when the six great sects would officially show off their muscles. As someone at the first level of the Emperor Profound Realm, it was obvious that he wasn't enough.

Therefore, he could not hold the back of the Ling Xiao Sect, so Ling Wuji chose to go into closed door cultivation as well.

The other Peak Masters were also in a hurry to prepare for the future battles of the six sects.

Their own direct disciples were all firmly imprisoned within the peaks of the various peaks. They didn't dare to be negligent and cultivated day and night, all for the sake of not losing face for the Lingxiao Sacred Sect in the war between the six sects.

Days passed, and by now, it was only less than a month before the battles between the six sects.

At this moment, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was once again in an uproar. This was precisely because this time, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was going to begin their direct disciple selection battle.

The students participating in the six sects' competition only numbered ten each.

As for the direct disciples, in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, even if there were no more than a thousand, there would at least be eight hundred.

What was worth noting was that the Cloudsoaring sect's hierarchy was the Sovereign — Peak Master, Elders — Cave Master, Deacons — Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, and Servants.

The disciples of the sect were all saints, candidates for the position of sect head. There weren't many saints like this within the sect.

For some reason, in the first few years, when he had just taken over the position of sect head, Lord Sect Master's performance had not been bad, but in the last few years, he had been in a state of seclusion. Other than Great Elder Ling Wuji, none of the Peak Masters had seen the Sect Master, but the reason they had listened to Ling Wuji was because Ling Wuji was the symbol of the sect, the Ling Xiao Saint Token …

However, no one knew when this Lord Sect Master would come out of seclusion. The First Elder also never mentioned anything about the Sect Master in front of everyone. This was the strangest thing.

Moreover, the Sect Master did not accept any disciples.

Thus, there were no saints within the sect.

As for the disciples of the various Peak Masters, including Great Elder Ling Wuji, they were only direct disciples.

And the disciples of the other elders on each peak were all core disciples.

As for the disciples of the cave master, they were considered inner disciples. In addition, there were some deacons and the like. Their disciples were only outer disciples.

As for the unpopular ones, they were all servants.

In fact, it was clear between disciples with strict levels, and it also confirmed one thing. That was, among disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, everything was based on one's strength. If one's strength wasn't high enough, then nothing was.

Therefore, the selection of disciples for the six sects' competition this time was precisely made from the direct disciples.

After all, direct disciples were the most powerful disciples of the entire Holy Sect.

Therefore, almost everyone had come to participate in the competition of the six sects.

But only Lin Tian didn't come.

Lin Tian was still in closed door cultivation and it was the critical moment.

Actually, before, that Ling Wuji came in front of Lin Tian's abode and looked around. However, since Lin Tian was in closed door cultivation, Ling Wuji did not disturb him.

Although the inner and outer disciples were not qualified to participate in this time's selection, they could all come to visit.

After all, this was also an excellent opportunity to broaden their horizons.

At the same time, not only did the inner and outer court disciples come, even all the core disciples in the school were gathered there.

Some of the core disciples had even been given the opportunity to challenge by the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.

The chance for this challenge referred to the sect's selection battles. When the selection battles had ended and ten disciples had been thoroughly selected, the core disciples would have the right to issue a challenge to these direct disciples.

If they succeeded, they could replace this personal disciple and become one of the ten.

If they were to fail, it would not affect them in any way. Thus, it could be said that the selection process of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was not restricted at all.

Of course, the setting of this rule was mostly to encourage the core disciples to participate in the core disciple competition. However, becoming a core disciple was originally a difficult task, and this time, not all core disciples would have the opportunity to do so.

In the end, it was still those top ranked core disciple rankings that had this opportunity.

Actually, if Lin Tian came, he would be able to tell that among those qualified students, there was Liu Feng …

The competition this time around was hosted by Great Elder Ling Wuji, which was enough to show how much importance the Lingxiao Saint Sect had placed on the competition this time. However, after some thought, although the Six Sects' competitions were held every year, it was still a stage for all the disciples to display themselves.

Who didn't want to be famous among the six great sects? Who didn't want to be an expert among the six great sects? Who didn't want to show their prowess in the competition between the six great sects?

Therefore, this time, all the direct disciples rubbed their shoulders and rubbed their hands. Even a portion of the core disciples looked extremely excited. Their eyes revealed a little surprise. This was the best stage and their only chance to show off their skills.

"Students, the purpose of this competition is to discuss the following six sects. I believe all of you should already know about this. So, I won't say anymore …" At this moment, the Great Elder also opened his mouth. He glanced around before speaking to everyone.

"Alright, next, I will talk about the rules this time …" This time, he was talking about the rules of the next selection.

Actually, the rules for this selection were quite simple, but the only difference was that the original ten participants were now one out of the slots.

This was because one of the slots was for Lin Tian.

However, just as he said that, the other direct disciples all looked at Ling Wuji with anger in their eyes.

Even Ling Wuji's own disciples looked at their master with confusion …

This, this does not seem to follow the rules …

One must know that all of these pro-disciples were people with high standards. However, they suddenly lost a spot. Furthermore, this spot was given to Ling Wuji's disciple.

Those disciples were naturally furious beyond compare.

Ling Wuji seemed to have known about this situation for a long time. He did not say anything unnecessary and continued, "Disciples, do you have any objections? If you have any, you can just say it …"

Before his voice had even faded, a direct disciple suddenly spoke out, "I don't agree!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to that student. That disciple was none other than the Peak Master of the Divine Martial Peak, the disciple of Ling Tianwu, Yang Bufan.

Actually, if Lin Tian was here, he would know that this Yang Bufan was not a normal person. This person, in other words, his own body refining technique was strong, and he wanted to find the person that was stronger than Lin Tian …

"So it's something extraordinary, something you don't agree on. Just say it …" Ling Wuji smiled and said.

"Great Elder, what right do you have that Lin Tian doesn't need to participate in the sect's selection battle and can directly become one of these ten people? If that's the case, then what's the point of setting up such a sect's internal selection battle?" Yang Bufan said in an agitated tone. His tone was filled with anger.

Yang Bufan had heard of him before, but as a direct disciple, Yang Bufan already felt that it was Ling Wuji who was deliberately biased, but after all, it was Ling Wuji's idea so no one could say anything about it. However, after hearing what Lin Tian had said, Yang Bufan's impression of this Lin Tian brat fell to the extreme, and he had even specifically written a challenge to Lin Tian. Unfortunately, that brat did not dare to come, so Yang Bufan was thinking about how to teach this boy a good lesson in the sect's selection.

Forget about other matters, this matter was related to everyone's interests, especially his interests. Naturally, he could not just let it go like this …

Ling Wuji looked at the rest of the people, and then said: "You, think the same thing?"

Seeing that no one was responding, Ling Wuji spoke again, "Speak the truth. If you are not telling the truth now, then this matter is decided..."

Speaking of that, the others looked at Ling Wuji in shock. They never thought that Ling Wuji was actually serious?

Thinking of this, everyone became restless. They all said in unison, "We don't agree, we don't agree …"

"That's right, that Lin Tian, let's not even say if he's strong or not, we haven't even seen him before. Also, this time in the sect's selection battle, he actually doesn't even dare to show his face, is he afraid?" A direct disciple said.

"That's right. His strength isn't just for show. Who knows what his true strength is? If he has the strength, he should come and participate in this selection battle instead of being a cowardly turtle!" Another direct disciple echoed.

In an instant, the entire selection arena was filled with discussion, and all of them were ridiculing Lin Tian.

Obviously, most of them did not agree with what Ling Wuji said …
