When Long Chen raised his head, he saw a vast city in front of him.
This was a white jade city. The city walls were tall, and the buildings inside the city walls were all white like jade. Under the sunlight, the buildings reflected a dazzling light.
Luckily, he had already seen Yuan Ling City, so Long Chen was not surprised by the size of this city.
However, the city in front of him was like a huge and orderly white cloud. Long Chen was shocked by its magnificence and beauty.
The other four had seen Lingwu City before, but today they could finally live in it, so they were very excited.
Looking at the five young men, Gan Lin smiled and said, "Alright, follow me inside now. Once we have settled down, I will introduce you to the Lingwu family."
Under Gan Lin's lead, Long Chen and the others entered Lingwu City. In Long Chen's eyes, Yuan Ling City was synonymous with wealth, and this Lingwu City was the cream of the crop. No wonder it could become the mayor's mansion of Yuan Ling City.
"Lingwu City is also divided into the outer city and the inner city. The outer city is divided into nine areas, which are the bases of the nine foreign families. Our Green family is in the middle of the Green region, and the place you are at now is the Green region. The gate that you just passed through is the gate that belongs to our Green region."
While walking, Long Chen saw warriors passing by from time to time. Some of them were at the ninth level of the Dragon Vein realm like them, but most of them were at the Mortal Core realm or even higher.
In a place where almost everyone was stronger than him, Long Chen had to restrain his temper.
From what he had seen before, the Lingwu family was not as peaceful and harmonious as it seemed on the surface. Under this tranquility, there was an undercurrent of killing intent. Long Chen was secretly shocked.
"In this scary place, looks like I, your father, will have to live like a grandson with my tail between my legs …"
Thinking about this, Long Chen felt so depressed that he wanted to escape.
However, Long Chen had spent so much effort to enter Lingwu City, and now was the time to show off his skills. It would be a pity if he left now. Moreover, Long Chen was not someone who was afraid of challenges, so he decided to stay.
"Now that I've joined the Lingwu family, I'm a member of the Lingwu family. In a bit, I'll ask about the Scarlet Blood Sect and see if there's any way to deal with them."
Along the way, people would greet Gan Lin from time to time. When they saw Long Chen and the others, they immediately sized them up and said with a smile, "Another rookie?
Your Qingyang Hall is going to be lively for a long time. I hope these little bastards won't cause you any trouble. "
Long Chen secretly remembered their words.
Very quickly, Gan Lin brought them into a large courtyard. This courtyard was very large, and there were at least a hundred rooms.
At this time, Gan Lin turned around and said, "This area is our Qingyang Hall's territory, and this courtyard is under the jurisdiction of Deacon Liu. It's called the Green Willow House, and we are all disciples under Deacon Liu. Now, I'll arrange a place for you to stay, and then I'll explain to you about Lingwu City."
It was currently daytime, and they could see that there were very few people in the courtyard. Gan Lin was very familiar with this place, so he quickly turned into a row of small rooms. Pointing at the exquisite rooms, he said, "This is where you fourth rank disciples live. From now on, the five of you will live here. Once you become third rank disciples, you will leave.
Now, each of you choose a room and register it. I'll be waiting for you in the Martial Practice Hall. "
Listening to Gan Lin, the other four immediately went to choose their rooms.
Long Chen felt that any room was fine, so he casually looked at the number on the door, and then directly followed Gan Lin into the Martial Practice Hall for the fourth rank disciples.
Gan Lin already knew that Long Chen had followed them, so he walked to the chair in the front and sat down. Then, he looked at Long Chen for a while, and said, "Sit here first. When they arrive, I'll tell you all about the Lingwu family. If you have any questions, you can ask them all at once."
Long Chen nodded, and there was nothing to say, so he sat down on the side. Very quickly, the other four people arrived, and they all looked a little excited.
Seeing the longing on their faces, Gan Lin shook his head, but Long Chen's indifferent expression made him very satisfied. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he nodded, and said, "First, I'll tell you the nature of the Lingwu family, and what we need to do daily. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Everyone nodded obediently.
Although it wasn't intentional, the strength of the Lingwu family still left a pressure in their hearts.
"The Lingwu family is one of the two major forces in Yuan Ling County. Because they have always been at an advantage in the recent battles with Yuan Emperor City's Beast Soul Palace, they have been the City Lord's Office of Yuan Ling City for over a hundred years."
Gan Lin smiled, and continued, "Beast Soul Palace walks the path of elites. The people of our Lingwu family are basically more than ten times that of them. There are more than twenty thousand registered people in total, and about two thousand of them are inner people of the Lingwu family. Our outer family has a total of nine major clans, which are divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, and gold."
"Each clan has about two thousand outer family members, but the first thing you need to know is that although the number of cyan clan members and inner family members are equal, the inner family members are the real Lingwu family members. You have become the outer family members of the Lingwu family, so you must first understand the most important thing, and that is, we are just the thugs of the Lingwu family, and we are their subordinates. So, we must absolutely not have a conflict with them, or else no one will feel sorry for us if we die!"
At this point, Gan Lin's eyes were cold, and Long Chen and the others were shocked. Hearing the word "subordinates", Long Chen frowned and asked, "In other words, we have to do whatever they say, even if they send us to our deaths?"
Gan Lin said indifferently, "Don't be too pessimistic. The outer family members of the Lingwu family can develop to this level, and we haven't betrayed them. This means that the inner family members are still very good to the outer family members. Of course, the premise is that you can't have a conflict with the inner family members.
Think about it, even in a normal family, the subordinates don't dare to have a conflict with the master, right? "
From Long Chen's understanding, the inner family members were the masters, and all the outer family members were just subordinates.
At first, Long Chen was very unconvinced, but when he thought about the Lingwu family, it was his platform to soar, and his current strength was still at the lowest level …
"The Lingwu family is so powerful, letting me be their subordinate is already giving me face. Moreover, from what Gan Lin said, as long as I am obedient and contribute more, it seems like there are many benefits.
I am a man who knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Why would I be afraid of the inner family? "
At this time, Gan Lin swept his gaze over them, and his eyes revealed a look of reverence. He said, "When I said what I just said, I didn't mean to make you feel hostile towards the inner family. To tell you the truth, although the inner family members are about the same number as the Green Family, their overall strength is stronger than the nine outer families combined!
"In a sense, the inner family is the guardian of the outer families. We work for the inner family, and the inner family provides us with sufficient resources and a strong backing. We are like vines, and they are the tree trunks. Without the support of the tree trunks, the vines can only fall to the ground.
"Of course, among you, if any of you display heaven-defying talent, you might even have the opportunity to be directly recruited into the inner family. It's not like there hasn't been such a precedent in history!"
When he said the last point, most of Gan Lin's attention was on Long Chen.
In his opinion, Long Chen was the one with the most potential among the five, but when he thought about the extremely harsh conditions, Gan Lin could only smile helplessly.
Long Chen was very interested in entering the inner family, so he hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Gan, what kind of talent is considered heaven-defying talent?"
Gan Lin smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure about this, but … there are tens of thousands of young people in the outer family, and only a few of them can enter the inner family for further training every year.
You can imagine, if it's your age, you should at least be at the Earth Core stage. "
Long Chen was speechless when he heard this.
"At my age, an Earth Core stage … Just how many monsters are there in the Lingwu family? I'm known as a peerless genius in Baiyang Town, but here, I'm nothing!"
This huge pressure didn't pressure him, instead, it became his motivation and passion. Thinking that he might be able to rise step by step in the Lingwu family, Long Chen was filled with fighting spirit!
Looking at Long Chen's slightly heated eyes, Gan Lin was about to tell him to give up, but then he thought, "Forget it, I shouldn't discourage him now. In the future, when he stays in the Lingwu family for a long time, he will naturally know that there are some things that can't be done with human strength …"
He remembered that he was like this in the past, arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he could enter the inner family, but in the end, he kept hitting the wall and got heavily injured. Only then did he put away his thoughts and focus on training.
"It's good to be young …"
It wasn't that Long Chen didn't understand what Gan Lin meant, but he wasn't someone who would be easily defeated just because he was underestimated.
At this time, Gan Lin continued, "I won't tell you about the inner family's power for now. In the nine outer families, there is a supreme ruler, we call him the Great Elder. Under the Great Elder of the Green family, there are a total of eight founding elders, who are in charge of the eight halls of the Green family. Our Qingyang Hall is under the jurisdiction of one of the founding elders, his name is Liu Yuan. Under the founding elder of Qingyang Hall, there are a total of five deacons, and each of the five deacons is in charge of around fifty people. We are under the jurisdiction of Deacon Liu. Do you understand this system?"
Gan Lin's explanation was very logical, how could Long Chen and the others not understand?
However, such a strict system still made Long Chen's scalp numb. Under this clear system, he always felt that there were countless people pressing on him!
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but in fact, he didn't have the strength to resist!
Without waiting for Long Chen and the others to digest, Gan Lin continued, "Right now, we are all disciples. Dragon Vein warriors are also classified as Rank 4 disciples. Those who have just entered the Mortal Core realm are Rank 3 disciples, those who have just entered the Mortal Core realm are Rank 2 disciples, and those who have reached the Advanced Mortal Core realm are Rank 1 disciples. I am currently a Rank 1 disciple.
As long as you reach the Earth Core realm, you will be the official manager of the Lingwu family. Those with a high cultivation level can directly become the outer deacon of the Lingwu family! "
"The strength of our Qingyang Hall is much weaker compared to the other outer families. Among the people under Deacon Liu's jurisdiction, there are less than ten Rank 1 disciples, and there are only four Earth Core warriors, including Deacon Liu."
Long Chen asked, "Senior brother Gan, may I know why the disciples are divided into ranks?"
Gan Lin looked at Long Chen with an approving gaze and said, "This is related to the thing I'm going to tell you next.
That is, what are you all doing in the Lingwu family! "
… …
