"Elder Yang, all elders, the Sect Master has heard that there is a tri-element martial disciple named Li Lin among us. Hence, he requests all elders and Li Lin to come to the great hall." The beautiful female disciple said, her gaze then sweeping through the space below.

"The Sect Master knows too?" Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and the fastest to change was undoubtedly Zhao WuJi.

"Let's go back and talk." Elder Xie said softly.

"Who is Li Lin? Come with us to the mountain. The Sect Master wants to see you." On the back of a green-headed red eagle, the young man said lightly.

"I am." Li Lin spoke lightly, also quite surprised in his heart. He didn't expect the stir he caused these past two days to have alarmed the Sect Master as well.

"Come on up, and let's go to the mountain together." At this moment, both the young man and woman turned their gazes to Li Lin, both showing a bit of surprise and confusion, seemingly having heard something.

"Whoosh..." With a flash of Qi under his feet, Li Lin quickly leaped into the air, landing on the back of the green-headed red eagle. Meeting the Sect Master was not something he could refuse, and it was also an opportunity to witness the Sect Master of Yunyang Sect.

Yunyang Sect's Sect Master Yun XiaoTian, Li Lin had heard about him once from the soul-enticing poison general Dong WuMing. This person's strength was extremely formidable, reportedly reaching the Martial King level, making him an absolute powerhouse in the entire Lingwu Continent.

Once, a ranking of the top ten powerhouses of the Lingwu Continent was made, including Yun XiaoTian, the Sect Master of Yunyang Sect, along with the leaders of the other three sects and four schools. These seven people occupied seven spots, with the remaining three belonging to individuals from the ancient domain and Moyun City.

Whether the ranking of these ten powerhouses was true or not, at least it proved that the strength of the ten listed was absolutely formidable.

"Elders, let's go to the mountain. The Sect Master is waiting." After the young man at the Martial General level finished speaking, the green-headed red eagle had already soared into the sky.

"Let's go." All the elders also instantly took off, only Elder Yu YuQian, who hadn't reached the Martial Marshal level, could only ride a flying demonic beast. However, owning a fifth-level Blue Jade Eagle was enough to save face for Yu YuQian.

Riding a flying demonic beast, Li Lin quickly passed over the mountain range below, secretly stopping his Heavenly Winged Snow Lion to circle nearby and wait for him.

Passing over a mountain range, Li Lin realized that the area of Yunyang Sect was not small, and the places he had been in contact with these past two days were just areas for new disciples.

From the back of the flying beast, he could see the mountains shadowy and varied under the morning sun, making the entire mountain range seem washed clean, vividly green, with peaks appearing and disappearing among the clouds and fog. Several clusters of buildings nestled within the mountains were faintly visible.

The rolling mountains, reflecting a faint glow under the sunlight, appeared exceptionally magnificent. After a while, an incredibly vast mountain appeared before Li Lin.

The mountain's grandeur could only be described as majestic, rising straight into the clouds like a giant standing among thousands of mountains, its height reaching a thousand feet, with strange rocks jutting out halfway up the mountain, piercing into the clouds like a proud dragon.

Within the mountain, winding paths led upwards, where Li Lin saw many buildings and shadows flickering.

"We've arrived." It took only about ten minutes, but walking would have been far longer. At this moment, the young man and woman told Li Lin, who had been surprised at the beginning and then silent for the rest of the journey.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

At this moment, all the Yunyang Sect elders also landed beside Li Lin, except for Zhao WuJi, almost every elder gave Li Lin a slight smile.

"Let's hurry to the great hall, so as not to keep the Sect Master waiting." Elder Yang said, and then all the elders walked ahead, with Li Lin following behind.

"Greetings to all the elders." A wide stone stairway wound its way up, with Yunyang Sect disciples saluting from time to time, observing their surroundings. Li Lin was deeply shocked; the entire massive mountain seemed to have been polished, smooth everywhere.

After a few minutes of winding paths, a huge palace appeared before Li Lin. This palace, standing atop the mountain, covered an area of thousands of meters, flanked by mountains on both sides. The grand palace seemed to be gilded in gold under the sunlight, shining brightly, resplendent and magnificent.

In front of the palace was also a not small square, smooth as a mirror, paved with an unknown type of jade stone.

"What a grand palace, worthy of being one of the Three Sects and Four Schools, Yunyang Sect." Li Lin thought to himself. Building such a massive palace on top of this mountain was not easy, and the consumption of manpower and resources could be imagined, definitely not a small amount.

"Greetings to all the elders." In front of the palace, about a dozen Yunyang Sect disciples saluted the elders.

"All are at the Martial Spirit level..." Li Lin was momentarily taken aback. These dozens of Yunyang Sect disciples were all at the Martial Spirit level, yet it seemed they were just guarding the gate. The strength of Yunyang Sect was indeed terrifying.

Li Lin had also noticed that Yunyang Sect had eleven elders in total, all of whom he had now seen. However, among these eleven elders, all were martial practitioners. It was impossible for Yunyang Sect not to have any spiritual practitioners since those with spiritual abilities would be directly taken as direct disciples. Thus, there must be many spiritual practitioners in Yunyang Sect, at least there would be spiritual marshal-level powerhouses.

Now, among the eleven elders, there wasn't a single spiritual practitioner, so Li Lin guessed that what he had seen of Yunyang Sect's strength was just the surface.

Following the elders into the palace, the interior decoration was also extremely luxurious, leaving Li Lin dumbfounded.

After several corridors and more Yunyang Sect disciples saluting, Li Lin finally entered the great hall.

Before him, a hall capable of accommodating three hundred people appeared. Around the hall, many Yunyang Sect disciples stood as if ready for battle, their aura without exception reaching the Martial Spirit level.

At this moment, in the hall, a figure was already seated at the upper end. This person was about forty years old, at most a little over forty, with clear and bright eyes, exuding depth, an inscrutable look, a straight nose, sharply defined cold and handsome features, wearing a light blue robe, with black hair draped over his shoulders, exuding a wild, unrestrained, and seductively sexy presence, and an aura of a domineering ruler of the world.

"Greetings to the Sect Master." All the elders saluted.

"Is this Yunyang Sect's Sect Master Yun XiaoTian?" Li Lin was astonished; this was quite different from what he had imagined. One of the top ten powerhouses of the Lingwu Continent, the Sect Master of one of the Three Sects and Four Schools, Yunyang Sect, was actually only around forty-two or forty-three years old.

Li Lin also hurriedly saluted, frowning slightly, feeling as if he had seen Yun XiaoTian before, a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember at the moment. Yet, Li Lin was sure he had never seen Yun XiaoTian before, making this feeling very strange.

"All the elders, please take a seat. Elder brother, why are you here too? Please take a seat." At the upper end, Yun XiaoTian said lightly, his voice deep, seemingly able to penetrate gold and break jade.

"Sect Master junior brother, I plan to take a disciple. You don't mind, do you?" Yu YuQian stepped forward, directly walking to the first seat below the upper end and sitting down, then the elders also sat down in turn.

Li Lin glanced briefly; the eleven elders took their seats in order, with Elder Yu's seat followed by Elder Yang, and next to Elder Yang, another elder dressed in a purple-gold robe. These two were also among those Li Lin considered to have reached the Martial King level.

At this moment, Zhao WuJi was sitting in the opposite upper seat, with other elders seated accordingly. From their seating arrangement, Li Lin could guess the hierarchy among the elders in Yunyang Sect. Zhao WuJi's aura seemed not as strong as Elder Xie's and Elder Song's, but his position in Yunyang Sect seemed very high, which puzzled Li Lin.

However, at this time, Li Lin noticed that Elder Yu YuQian, although the weakest in strength, indeed held a very high position, as evident from his conversation with Yun XiaoTian.

"Elder brother, if you want to take a disciple, that's naturally no problem. You can choose anyone you like." At the upper end, Yun XiaoTian said to Yu YuQian.

"Cough..." Elder Xie immediately coughed, saying, "It's a good thing for Elder Yu to take a disciple. Apart from Li Lin, he can pick any of the new disciples, and we have no objections."

"Exactly, Elder Xie is right. It's a good thing for Elder Yu to take a disciple again. We think, apart from Li Lin, Elder Yu can pick anyone from the new disciples." Elder Song also smiled slightly.
