Chapter 327 The Palace Examination Begins

“It’s Senior Brother Chang Qiang and Senior Brother Lin Dong!”

"Brother Longspear!"

When the two of them landed in the area where the disciples of the Deserted Palace were, shouts of surprise rang out one after another. Facing the fiery gazes of his fellow disciples, Lin Changqiang smiled and waved, and Lin Dong nodded calmly.

With the occurrence of one major event after another, Lin Changqiang's reputation in the Desolate Palace has long been unmatched. Although Lin Dong is slightly inferior, he is much better than Pang Tong and others by virtue of his advantage of defeating Fang Yun and the Great Desolate Sutra. After a long time, he has long been accustomed to the scene before him.

"Chang Qiang, this palace examination depends entirely on you." Jiang Hao smiled heartily.

He had once been somewhat wary of the sudden appearance of Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong, but this fear soon turned into helplessness, and finally simply turned into envy and admiration.

After all, if he asked himself honestly, he was sure that he could not beat Huo Zhen nor could he comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra. Now that the two of them had both brought honor to the Desolate Palace and given him the opportunity to practice the Great Desolate Sutra, what was there to be unwilling about?

"It's all up to him. I wonder what he ate to grow up." Fang Yun pretended to be indignant. He fanned himself and looked at Lin Changqiang with his eyes slanted. "When you first entered the sect, you were a Five Element Nirvana and a Five Seal Heavenly Talisman Master. I just entered the Seven Element. How long has it been? I'm still a long way from the Eight Element Nirvana. You've already reached the Seven Element Nirvana and the Seven Seal Heavenly Talisman Master?"

As he was talking, he laughed first. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang naturally did not take it seriously. He just raised his eyebrows cheerfully: "You dare to say that knowing my cultivation level, what, do you want to spar with me?"

"No, no, who dares to do that?" Fang Yun shook his head repeatedly, coughed lightly and suddenly looked into the distance, "Let's take a look at the other palaces in the distance!"

Seeing this, Lin Changqiang couldn't help but laugh, then followed his gaze and looked around.

To the left, right and front of the Wilderness Palace were disciples from the other three palaces. This was nothing strange, but the sight of a certain pretty figure next to Ying Xiaoxiao in the Heavenly Palace surprised him a little.

Today, Ying Xiaoxiao's clothes were still as elegant as before, but there was a hint of sadness on her face. Ying Huanhuan, who was standing beside her, was holding her sister's hand, and it was unknown what they were saying.

Noticing Lin Changqiang's gaze, the girl did not act as coquettishly as usual. She just nodded slightly and looked away. She looked like a beautiful lady from someone's palace.

Lin Changqiang's breathing was choked, he was a little uncomfortable. He wanted to send a message but didn't know what to say.

When he looked away, he saw Jiang Hao beside him staring at him with wide eyes and a surprised smile on his face.

"Are you interested in Junior Sister Huanhuan?"

Lin Changqiang's old face turned red and he glared at him, neither admitting nor denying.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao didn't say anything but was laughing non-stop. From time to time, he would suddenly look over and give a thumbs up with admiration on his face, which made Pang Tong and others puzzled. Lin Changqiang was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply stood there with his eyes closed to rest. Seeing this, this funny guy finally calmed down.

Not long after that, there was a sudden sound of wind above the mountain, and a gray shadow broke through the air, landing in the Heavenly Palace area with a faint smell of blood. When everyone saw who was coming, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly weakened a lot, but he did not pay any attention. He just glanced at Ying Xiaoxiao indifferently, then retracted his gaze and sat cross-legged alone.

Looking at the figure she hadn't seen for several years, Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip, feeling a little sad. But after taking a few deep breaths, her gaze became firm, and there was a touch of determination in her heart.

"Sister." Ying Huanhuan held her sister's right hand tightly, with concern in her eyes.

"I'll stop him."

Ying Xiaoxiao forced a smile, and seeing this, Ying Huanhuan had no choice but to nod.

She had always been confident in her sister, but facing Wang Yan, who also mastered the Heavenly Emperor Sutra and had more experience, this confidence was weakened a lot. Feeling depressed, she couldn't help but look at Lin Changqiang, thinking of the agreement between the two, but then she sighed again. If even her sister, who was in the state of Nine Yuan Nirvana, couldn't stop Wang Yan, then even if Lin Changqiang mastered the Great Desolate Sutra, he might not be able to win...

"It's Senior Brother Wang Yan."

Pang Tong's expression was a little complicated. As the oldest disciple in Huang Palace, he naturally knew what happened back then.

Jiang Hao and Song Zhou on the side were a little intimidated by Wang Yan's aura, but Fang Yun made a "tsk" sound with contempt in his eyes.

"You refuse to put such a large number of swords into your Qiankun bag and insist on carrying them on your back. You are really more pretentious than me."

He glanced at his fan, then at Wang Yan's giant sword, then he snorted coldly and put the fan away. He stood there angrily with his hands folded across his chest, which made everyone speechless but also eased the atmosphere a lot.

In front of the platform, where the Dao Sect's top leaders sat, the atmosphere was obviously more depressing.

The several hall masters looked at each other, all of them feeling helpless or embarrassed. The leader, Ying Xuanzi, had a face as dark as a pool and no emotion could be seen.

"Master, regarding Wang Yan's participation in the competition..."

Qi Lei gritted his teeth and couldn't help but speak, but Ying Xuanzi interrupted him in a flat voice.

"Just follow the rules."

“But according to the rules, Wang Yan should have left the Heavenly Palace long ago and become a sect deacon instead of taking part in the palace examination with the younger generations.” Qi Lei said in a deep voice.

"At least now, he is still a disciple of the Heavenly Palace." After saying that, Ying Xuanzi sighed and looked at Qi Lei, "The time is almost up, announce it."

Seeing this, Qi Lei nodded and finally felt relieved.

As Wang Yan's master, how could he bear to see his disciple being punished? He had put Wang Yan in solitary confinement first because he was afraid of being blamed by the sect leader.

The eight major sects have stood for thousands of years, and secret clashes have occurred many times. However, no matter what conflicts there are, they will try their best not to violate the jointly formulated rules. This is not only for the sake of face and to reduce losses, but also for people outside the Dongxuan Territory to see.

There is a big gap between Yuanmen and Tianyao Diao, but as long as the former does not leave Dongxuan Territory, the latter will definitely not come to attack. It will only order its clansmen to hunt Yuanmen disciples in Chaos Demon Sea or other areas.

This is not only because the Demon Realm has several other overlords eyeing them covetously, but also because the eight major sects have always been working together to confront the outside world. If any two major sects get into a deadly battle, the other six sects will not only be unhappy, but will also step in to mediate one after another. The only ones who will really hope that both sides will suffer losses are the other territories...

This silly kid, after all these years, finally knows how to act secretly.

Qi Lei looked at Wang Yan with satisfaction, then stood up and looked around. With his actions, the area of ​​the Fourth Hall was finally completely quiet.

"The rules of the palace examination are very simple, so I won't say more. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to stop at the right time. Anyone who dares to do something dirty will be punished according to the sect's rules!" Qi Lei's voice resounded all around, "Next, start the palace examination according to your number plates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, jade tokens flew out and fell into the hands of everyone. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became much more lively. Lin Changqiang flipped his palm and saw the two words "甲四" flashing with a faint light.
