The day before the Fallen Elder Selection, Wang Lin arrived outside the Great Emperor Planet with the help of the Dark Scorpion Clan and the Yundun people. When he saw the strange cultivation planet, Wang Lin's eyes narrowed.
The Great Emperor Star was shrouded in an illusion. It looked blurry, as if it was surrounded by fog. However, within the fog, there were huge cracks that would occasionally appear. They were like sharp mouths that would devour everything when they appeared.
There were also bursts of grey lines moving inside the fog. If one looked closely, they would see that they weren't corporeal and were being torn apart by various magnetic forces.
Before they even closed in, Wang Lin felt a shocking power inside the fog. This power could tear apart the heavens and earth, and it could even cause a cultivator's spells and magic treasures to collapse.
This was not man-made or caused by a treasure, but the power of the heavens, the power of creation.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank as he carefully observed for a long time. His body stopped outside the fog.
There were already a lot of cultivators outside the fog. These cultivators were in groups of dozens or hundreds, and they were scattered everywhere. There were many familiar people who were talking to each other.
At a glance, there were many cultivators. The arrival of Wang Lin's group immediately attracted some divine senses. These divine senses swept by the Dark Scorpion Clan and the Yundun people before being withdrawn.
As for Wang Lin, with his cultivation level, very few people could see his true appearance.
Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he coldly looked ahead.
"Senior, every time the Fallen Elder Selection is held on the Great Emperor Planet. However, there is a magnetic tear here that cultivators can't pass through. Only when everyone has arrived will a path be opened from the inside for everyone to enter one by one.
"We aren't late, so it won't take long for the passage to open," the patriarch of the Dark Scorpion Clan whispered to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin nodded. His gaze swept across the cultivators outside the Great Emperor Planet. There were at least tens of thousands of cultivators here. Although there were a lot of people, it was still insignificant compared to the stars.
"I didn't expect the Yundun people to take a fancy to the Scorpion Tribe that loves burrows and even accepted them as their subsidiary. How interesting!"
At this moment, an ear-piercing voice rang out from the front. A middle-aged man in blue walked out from a group of nearly a thousand clans.
The man's appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were like those of a venomous snake. There was a snake-shaped mark on his forehead, causing him to look even more sinister.
His words were filled with mockery. As he spoke, he stopped moving and swept his gaze over Wang Lin's group.
The expression of the Dark Scorpion Patriarch beside Wang Lin changed. He stared at the middle-aged man and snorted.
The patriarch of the Dark Scorpion Clan softly said, "That is the head elder of the Soul Serpent Clan. During the last elder selection, the Soul Serpent Clan fought against the Yundun people and lost. There has been friction between the two clans in the past."
Beside Wang Lin was naturally the patriarch of the Yundun people. When he heard the words of the head elder, he remained calm and didn't say a word.
"I heard the Yundun people invited the Greedy Wolf to be their guest. With the Greedy Wolf here, they will definitely win the elder selection!
"But how come I don't see Senior Greedy Wolf among you?" the middle-aged man said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
His words weren't loud, but they contained his cultivation and echoed.
The tens of thousands of cultivators here were all from small clans in the Fallen Land. They had come here to fight for the position of Fallen Elder. It could be said that any clan that was qualified to become an elder was hostile to each other.
If they could find out more about the other party, it would be of great help in obtaining the position of elder.
Hearing the words of the Soul Serpent Clan's head elder, the surrounding clans all looked toward where the Yundun people were.
The name of the Greedy Wolf was famous in the Fallen Land. With him helping the Yundun people, it was enough for the other clans to pay attention to him.
"The Old Man has also heard that Fellow Cultivator Greedy Wolf has become a guest of the Yundun people. In the past, Fellow Cultivator Greedy Wolf helped the Old Man a lot, so he has always wanted to visit him. Master Cloud Dun, why didn't Fellow Cultivator Greedy Wolf come?"
The person who spoke was an old man wearing a purple daoist robe. His face was a bit pale, but his voice was loud.
There were three arcs between his eyebrows that looked like ripples of water.
"Senior Greedy Wolf left due to an important matter and won't be coming back. Everyone, stop guessing!"
The patriarch of the Yundun people raised his head and glanced at Wang Lin. After saying this, he lowered his head and no longer spoke.
The old man who spoke saw this and his pupils shrank.
"Five elemental water race branch, River River Tribe's patriarch. This person is the current Fallen Elder Shi San!" The patriarch of the Dark Scorpion Tribe introduced to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was calm and he nodded slightly.
"Who is talking about the Old Man's name!?"
The voice of River River Tribe's patriarch, Fallen Elder Shi San, became cold. His gaze was like lightning as it landed on Wang Lin and the Dark Scorpion Tribe's patriarch.
The eyes of River River Tribe's patriarch lit up and he slowly said, "Little scorpion people, why aren't you kneeling after seeing the Old Man?" However, his gaze was on Wang Lin.
The expression of the Dark Scorpion Tribe's patriarch immediately changed. The other party was using his status as a Fallen Elder to tell him to kneel in front of so many cultivators. This was a great insult!
The commotion attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators. They all looked over with the intention of watching a show.
The middle-aged man from the Soul Serpent Tribe revealed a smile and shook his head. "Even if a little scorpion wants to climb up a tree, you should be careful. Following the Yundun people is not wise.
However, you can't be blamed. The scorpion race that lives in caves is a group of short-sighted people. "
"What? You're not coming over?
That's fine. You, come over to the Old Man! "
Fallen Elder Shi San, River River Tribe's patriarch, raised his right hand and pointed at Wang Lin.
Hearing this, the Dark Scorpion Tribe's patriarch's expression immediately recovered and he revealed a mocking smile.
Not only him, but even the Yundun people's patriarch also raised his head. His eyes were filled with mockery and a hint of hidden pride.
Wang Lin revealed a smile. He looked at the old man and slowly said, "Can't you say your name?"
Fallen Elder Shi San's eyes lit up. Just now, he saw the Yundun people's patriarch glance at Wang Lin. From where he was standing, it seemed like this person was the leader, which was why he spoke.
As the Fallen Elder Shi San, he had to establish his might in order to be re-elected. Although the Dark Scorpion Tribe was small, the Yundun people were not weak. Moreover, with the reputation of the Greedy Wolf, it was the best choice to establish his might.
From the old man's point of view, Wang Lin must have been sent by the Greedy Wolf. Using Wang Lin to establish his might was the same as using the Greedy Wolf to establish his might!
However, the mockery in the eyes of the Yundun people and the two patriarchs of the Dark Scorpion Tribe made the old man feel that something was wrong.
"This person must have been sent by the Greedy Wolf. Although the Greedy Wolf is strong, I am still a Fallen Elder. I am not afraid!" Thinking of this, the old man coldly snorted and said, "Only those who are qualified can say it.
"Only those who are qualified can say it. I just don't know if you are qualified or not."
The elders and patriarchs of the various tribes were all cunning people. Seeing this, they more or less had their own guesses. Like the Fallen Elder, most of them thought that Wang Lin was sent by the Greedy Wolf.
"You are not a member of the Fallen Land. I advise you to quickly kneel. Even your master, the Greedy Wolf, can only kneel in this situation."
The eyes of the Soul Serpent Tribe's Great Elder flickered. He was the one who started this conflict. He was very happy to see the Yundun people become the target of Elder Shi San's might.
"Qualified …" Wang Lin smiled.
"Who dares to say that Senior is not qualified!" A low roar suddenly came from the distance.
Waves of whistling sounds came from the distance. Thousands of rays of light and thousands of cultivators were rushing toward this place.
The person at the front was a young man, and beside him were several old men at the Heaven's Blight stage. Their auras rumbled as they arrived and stood beside Wang Lin's group.
The young man immediately walked up and bowed toward Wang Lin. He clasped his hands and said with a respectful expression, "Junior Armored Dragon Patriarch greets Senior."
Behind him, the more than 1,000 Armored Dragon Clan cultivators all revealed respectful expressions. There was a hint of fear as they clasped their hands and bowed. "Greetings, Senior."
When all the cultivators saw this, their expressions flickered.
"Armored Dragon Patriarch!!"
"The ninth elder's Armored Dragon Patriarch!"
"Rumor has it that the Armored Dragon Patriarch, the ninth elder of the Fallen Council, was removed a few months ago and the Armored Dragon Patriarch has chosen a new patriarch!"
"This matter has spread far and wide, but the reason why the ninth elder was removed is a secret. Very few people know!"
"Although the Armored Dragon Patriarch doesn't have many people, they are very strong. Among the 372 clans in the Fallen Land, they can be ranked in the top 10!"
"Who is this person for the Armored Dragon Patriarch to greet him!?"
"Could it be that he has nothing to do with the Greedy Wolf?"
The middle-aged man from the Soul Serpent Clan was startled, and his eyes lit up.
As for the old man from the River River Patriarch, his expression became gloomy. He looked at Wang Lin and then at the Armored Dragon Patriarch with fear in their eyes. A terrifying speculation appeared in his mind.
This speculation immediately caused the old man to feel as if cold water had been poured over his head. His entire body trembled, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Impossible … I must be thinking too much!"
Just at this moment, the illusory fog formed by the tearing of the magnetic field outside the Great Emperor Star suddenly surged. Waves of muffled rumbling sounds came from within and spread in all directions. Then, a passage was torn open from within the illusory fog, and it rushed outwards, directly revealing itself!
Dozens of cold-looking cultivators walked out from the passage. The person leading them was the messenger from the Armored Dragon Patriarch's planet. After he appeared, he didn't even look at anyone but charged at Wang Lin.
Seeing this, Elder Shi San's heart skipped a beat.
