The battle for the Senjin Of Goguryeo had finally come to an end!
Some people were happy, while others were sad. The ones who were happy were the people who had obtained the position of Senjin Of Goguryeo and their forces. The ones who were worried were the God Kings who could no longer return. They were destined to be sealed in the God Sealing Altar forever, never to be remembered by others.
Of course, although the name of Senjin Of Goguryeo had been established, whether or not they could hold onto this position depended on their future performance.
If someone challenged them alone and killed them head-on, then their position as Senjin Of Goguryeo would definitely change hands.
The God Kings here gradually began to disperse.
There were also many who wanted to fish in troubled waters and catch up with a new Senjin Of Goguryeo. They planned to pick up the ready-made Ping Yi and see if they could defeat them and seize the position.
As for Ling Xiao and the others, they did not leave immediately. When Ling Xiao came out, he immediately sensed the aura of the Dark Shadow Clan's Ying Jian. Unfortunately, he could not find him.
Ling Xiao was sure that Ying Jian had definitely escaped. Their Dark Shadow Clan's hiding and escaping skills were still very good.
"Old pervert, you've lost this time, haha!" Mad Monk laughed complacently at the Evil Emperor.
Mad Monk and the Evil Emperor had already agreed that whoever obtained the highest rank in the Senjin Of Goguryeo would be stronger.
The Evil Emperor was very unconvinced. "Old bald donkey, don't be too proud. If it wasn't for the fact that this emperor's Heavenly Thunder Beast isn't strong enough, this emperor wouldn't have lost!"
"If you lose, then you lose. Why are you looking for a reason? Don't worry, we're family now, so there's nothing bad about losing to me. It's not like I'll make fun of you anyway!" Mad Monk was really showing off after obtaining Ping Yi.
The Evil Emperor was so angry that he couldn't refute. He could only harden his neck and say, "Come, this emperor will fight with you for three days and three nights. Watch this emperor beat you into a sorry state, you old bald donkey."
"Come, come. Who's afraid of who? Today, I'll make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly!" Mad Monk said as he assumed a fighting stance.
At this time, Yun Mengqi, Yurou Fei, Feng Qingyuan, Shu Ziqian and the rest who came with Ling Xiao all rushed over.
When Yurou Fei saw her adoptive father again, she cried out in joy.
The Evil Emperor and the Mad Monk naturally could not continue to lose their image in front of this junior, and could only temporarily stop talking.
Yun Mengqi moved closer to Ling Xiao, a look of joy on her face as she said, "Congratulations to your husband!"
Ling Xiao lightly scratched Yun Mengqi's nose, "What's there to be happy about, it's just an empty reputation!"
Yun Mengqi replied, "Even if other people put their lives on the line, it's all for nothing. Yet, you're still not happy about it. From what I can see, you don't seem to care, but in your heart, you're very proud of yourself."
Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Alright, you guessed right. I'm very happy today!"
Yun Mengqi added, "Don't worry, it won't be long before I catch up to you."
The group chatted for a while longer before Ling Feiwu, Ji Tianfang and the others walked over.
Other than Ling Xiao, there were a total of forty people from Dragon Gate. Now, there were only twenty-five people left, and fifteen of them had already died. Amongst the forty-three spots, the people from Dragon Gate had obtained a total of four Divine Positions, and adding on Ling Xiao's, they had obtained a total of five Divine Positions.
This was the faction that obtained the most spots among all the forces. Three people from the Sword Cleansing Manor obtained the spots, two people from the Sun and Moon Sect obtained the spots, and only one person from the Divine Axe Gang obtained the spots. The rest of the Deity Positions were divided among the people from the small and medium-sized forces or rogue cultivators.
If the Evil Emperor and the Mad Monk were both considered to be Dragon Gate's identities, then the Dragon Gate's proportion would be even greater.
Ling Feiwu never thought that Ling Xiao would actually be so powerful, consecutively defeating so many peak-level Divine Kings and obtaining first place. He was very impressed in his heart.
It had to be known that it was already difficult for Ling Feiwu to deal with just Ji Tianfang, not to mention that there were still others eyeing him covetously from the side.
He had completely lost all doubt about Ling Xiao's fighting strength.
In addition, Ji Tianqi's position was one rank lower than his, which made him feel especially good in his heart. Finally, he was a head above him.
Ling Feiwu and the others came to congratulate Ling Xiao one by one. Even the expressions of the people from the Divine Body Sect became a lot more respectful.
"Granduncle Ling Xiao, are we going back now?" Ling Feiwu asked.
Their group had obtained the title of Senjin Of Goguryeo, so they naturally had to return in glory.
Ling Feiwu asked for Ling Xiao's opinion because he was afraid that Ling Xiao would have something to do midway.
Ling Xiao thought about it, then nodded and said, "Then let's go back together!"
Following that, he looked at Ji Tianfang and said, "In the future, Tianfang and Feiwu should get along well. We are all brothers in the same sect, fighting and killing will hurt our relationship!"
Ji Tianfang was obedient to Ling Xiao's words. Ling Xiao said this just to not let others know that Ji Tianfang was already under his control.
"Don't worry, Divine Teacher Ling. Feiwu and I are also considered good brothers since young. In the future, we will definitely join hands and bring glory to our Dragon Gate!" Ji Tianfang said very sincerely in front of everyone.
When he said this, it gave Ling Feiwu and the others a huge shock. They were all speculating whether Ji Tianfang was just saying it.
Ling Xiao patted Ji Tianfang's shoulder and said, "That's good!"
Looking at Ling Xiao's attitude towards Ji Tianfang, everyone thought, "Could it be that Divine Teacher Ling intimidated Ji Tianfang and made him admit defeat?"
At this time, Ling Xiao walked towards Yan Yue and said, "Big Brother Yan, I am preparing to return to Dragon Gate."
Yan Yue looked at Ling Xiao and sighed, "You and I have just met and we have to separate. I can't bear to part with you!"
Indeed, ever since he got to know Ling Xiao, he had felt Ling Xiao's powerful strength and magnanimity. It made him want to have a good gathering with Ling Xiao and drink to his heart's content for a few days.
Ling Xiao replied, "There will still be a chance. In the future, I will definitely go to the Leaping Wolf Ridge and drink to my heart's content with big brother!"
"Alright, little brother, you have to keep your word!" Yan Yue replied with a smile.
"Of course," Ling Xiao replied before turning to Lie Hongying, who had yet to leave, and saying, "Big Brother, you should hurry up and finish off that person. I believe that you will definitely be able to do it!"
Yan Yue's face turned red and said, "Haha, of course, of course!"
After Ling Xiao bid farewell to Lie Hongying, he led a group of people back to the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
It had been two years since he came out of Dragon Gate, and the things he needed to do were almost done. It was time to return to Xuanling Continent.
However, Ling Xiao did not know that not far away, there was a beautiful figure looking at the direction he left and muttering, "One day, I will get back at him."
Before Ling Xiao and the others returned to Dragon Gate, Dragon Gate had already received the news of the name list of the Senjin Of Goguryeo.
With a few more Senjin Of Goguryeo added to Dragon Gate, the whole sect was jubilant.
Among the five Senjin Of Goguryeo, Kim people took up three spots, which made the people of Kim people's faction very happy.
Although the number of direct descendants of Kim people was decreasing, each of them definitely had a lot of achievements and could still live up to the name of the number one ancient clan in the Sky Dragon Region.
As for the Divine Physique faction, although two people had obtained the name of Senjin Of Goguryeo, because Ji Tianfang was after Ling Xiao and Ling Feiwu, they could not stand it.
Especially people like Fang Bu 'er who liked to collapse, they were even more furious.
After all, this was related to the current heated situation in the sect!
Ever since Ling Chen left He Gong in a low-key manner last time, Ling Chen's popularity as the Sect Master had plummeted, and there were even rumors that he was preparing to replace him as the Sect Master.
Therefore, Fang Bu 'er was especially excited, and felt that this time, his chance had come.
Recently, Fang Bu 'er had been trying to win over people's hearts, looking forward to the time when he would ascend to the position of Sect Master.
He had originally hoped that his junior brother, Ji Tianfang, would be able to help him eliminate Ling Feiwu during the battle for the Senjin Of Goguryeo and dampen the prestige of Kim people, so that they would know that the Divine Physique faction was in charge of the Dragon Gate, and not the followers of the Kim people.
Unexpectedly, not only did his hopes not succeed, he was even suppressed by the other party twice, which made him very angry.
He knew his junior brother's strength, so why did he actually give up the two positions in front of him in the end?
He thought that when his junior brother returned, he would definitely interrogate him properly about how he had lost so much face.
Dragon Gate's Sect Master, Ling Chen, was not happy at all during this period of time.
Whenever he thought of the words his grandfather had said to him, he would feel extremely terrified.
"Little Chen, you've been doing well in the outer sect all these years. You're just too conservative, but you lack motivation. There are still some problems that you can't suppress. I think it's better for you to return to the clan and focus on your cultivation for a period of time. Try to break through to the Supreme Deity Position. Look, Little Fei has already caught up to you. Give the position of Sect Master to someone else. Managing a bunch of things all day won't do you any good in the future!"
Ling Chen could hear the other meaning behind his grandfather's criticism of him. His grandfather's words definitely meant that the elders in the clan had an opinion about how he handled matters.
Once the clan lost their support for him, he would no longer be able to sit on his position as the Sect Master.
Speaking of which, he hadn't been the Sect Master for a long time, so it could be said that he hadn't enjoyed the feeling of having the authority of a Sect Master. He had always been suppressed by the people of the Divine Body Faction, and this made him very unhappy.
Compared to the previous Sect Masters, he had made contributions without any major mistakes, and the sect was still under his control. Why did they suddenly want to replace him?
He had discussed this matter with his wife, Xiao Zhencai, in private, and finally found out what the problem was.
They guessed that he had been too kind in dealing with the matter regarding He Gong, and it didn't extinguish the arrogance of the Divine Body Faction at all. Instead, it dispelled the enthusiasm of his own clan members, and everyone began to be dissatisfied with the way he handled matters.
Most importantly, this matter couldn't be handled to Ling Xiao's satisfaction.
After all, Ling Xiao was now the most popular person in the Dragon Gate, and even Divine Medicine Master Zheng Can had become good friends with him despite the difference in age. Ling Xiao's status in the clan was also becoming more and more important.
After figuring out the crux of the matter, Ling Chen had been thinking about how to explain his painstaking efforts to Ling Xiao. He hoped that he could gain Ling Xiao's understanding so that he could put in a good word for him in front of the clan leader and secure his position as the sect leader!
Otherwise, as the Sect Master, he would become the laughing stock of the Dragon Gate's history. It would be absolutely humiliating if he was replaced for no reason before his term was up.
Now that Ling Xiao and the others had returned, he, as the Sect Master, immediately received them and wanted to give them a high-profile reward!
