The middle-aged man is Shangguan Zhengxing, the elder of the Linghu family.
An existence as famous as the two elders Heng Huan.
In terms of personal combat power, even one of the two elders, Heng Huan, is no match for him.
"Elder Zhengxing?"
Duan Lingtian glanced behind Shangguan Zhengxing and frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that the head of the family personally led the team here? Why is it you?"
Before setting off, Duan Lingtian learned from the elder Huan who brought him here that the head of the Linghu family, Linghu Renjie, had brought the children of the Linghu family to Tianlong Sect. He thought he would be able to see Linghu Renjie when he arrived at Tianlong Sect, but he didn't. I thought I was seeing Linghu Zhengxing.
"Master?"
Linghu Zhengxing shook his head, "If the head of the family in your mouth is Linghu Zhengxing, I'm afraid you will have to change your story in the future... because he is no longer the head of our Linghu family."
As soon as Linghu Zhengxing said these words, Duan Lingtian was naturally stunned without any surprise. He came back to his senses after a moment and frowned: "Elder Zhengxing, what do you mean by this?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't understand it at all.
At the same time, he noticed that many children of the Linghu family behind Linghu Zhengxing looked at him, revealing jealousy and unkindness.
Faced with Duan Lingtian's inquiry, Linghu Zhengxing took a deep look at Duan Lingtian and said, "Duan Lingtian, do you know that you stayed in the law secret room of our Linghu family for three years and consumed all the sacred stone veins of our Linghu family? A full third!"
"Do you know what this means?"
Hearing Linghu Zhengxing's words, Duan Lingtian was startled for a moment, and then his expression changed.
He has been in the Law Chamber for three years, and he knows this.
However, he didn't know that he had consumed so many divine stones from the Linghu family.
One-third of the Linghu Family's divine stone veins probably contain at least tens of millions of taels of divine stones. Although he has a lot of divine stone wealth in his hands, with over one million taels, but one-third of the Linghu Family's divine stone veins In front of one of them, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian looked at Linghu Zhengxing with an apology on his face, "Elder Zhengxing, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that my trip to the law secret room cost the Linghu family such a heavy price."
"However, this matter is all caused by me, so I ask the family to bear the blame on me... This matter has nothing to do with the head of the family."
Duan Lingtian never expected that just because of this incident, Linghu Renjie would lose his position as the head of the Linghu family.
Thinking of the normal casualness with which Linghu Renjie communicated with him after he came out of the Law Chamber, he felt guilty again.
From beginning to end, Linghu Renjie never raised any difficulties with him.
"You can't afford it."
Linghu Zhengxing shook his head and said: "Now, Linghu Renjie has been deposed as the head of the family, and there will be some punishments against him in the future... If you really want to do something for him, then you can do it well in the Qianlong Competition. Behave, behave well after entering the Tianlong Sect, and don’t let him down for his good intentions towards you.”
"Elder Zhengxing!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Duan Lingtian's mind, and then he looked at Linghu Zhengxing and asked with a solemn expression: "How many sacred stones are there in one-third of the Linghu family's sacred stone veins?"
Although he guessed that one-third of the Linghu family's sacred stone mines should contain at least tens of millions of taels of sacred stones, he did not know the specific number.
"Why do you ask?"
Linghu Zhengxing asked.
"I would like to request Elder Zhengxing that in the next hundred years, the Linghu family will not choose another head... Within a hundred years, I, Duan Lingtian, will definitely pay back double the sacred stones that the Linghu family has consumed on me!"
Duan Lingtian looked at Linghu Zhengxing firmly and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Linghu Zhengxing was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh, "Duan Lingtian, do you know how many sacred stones there are in one-third of our Linghu family's sacred stone veins?"
"I don't know the specific number...but if you think about it, it should be no less than tens of millions taels."
Duan Lingtian said in a deep voice.
"Now that you know it, how dare you make such a promise?"
Linghu Zhengxing shook his head, "One third of our Linghu family's sacred stone mines will contain no less than 40 million taels of sacred stones."
"good!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "Within a hundred years, I will repay the Linghu family 100 million taels of sacred stones!"
One hundred years, one hundred million.
Duan Lingtian set this small goal for himself in his heart.
At least, in his mind, it had to be a small goal.
Otherwise, three hundred years later, how can he get the approval of the Xia Family, the god-level family in the land of divine heritage behind Ke'er?
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian said these words, before Linghu Zhengxing could speak, a group of Linghu family disciples standing behind Linghu Zhengxing couldn't help but laugh, "Repay 100 million taels of divine stones... Our Duan Priest is truly fearless, does he know the concept of 100 million taels of sacred stones?"
"One hundred million taels of divine stones within a hundred years? Not to mention one hundred million taels of divine stones. Even if he comes up with fifty million taels of divine stones within a hundred years, the family's elders are willing to agree to his request."
"Do you think the body of elders will agree to his ridiculous request?"
"Definitely not. What a joke!"
"When will he be able to refine the ultimate king-level divine elixir at will? After working hard to help people refine elixirs for hundreds of years to get paid, he might be able to collect 100 million divine stones... Now, he can't."
…
A group of Linghu family disciples seemed to think that Duan Lingtian was just talking nonsense and fanciful things.
"Are you serious?"
Linghu Zhengxing looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"certainly."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Boy Lingtian."
At this time, Linghuhuan, who had been silent until now, spoke, his fat face trembled, and his small eyes narrowed, "Although it seems unrealistic, I am still willing to believe you for once... I support you in this matter. On the elders side, I will express my opinion in support of you.”
"Well, my elder brother also supports you."
After hearing Linghu Huan's words, Duan Lingtian immediately glanced at him and Linghu Heng gratefully.
"I support you too."
At this time, Linghu Zhengxing also spoke, "Now, I have summoned the members of the elders to gather for discussion... Normally, there will be no surprises. Our Linghu family can afford to wait for a hundred years."
"Let the elders take care of the family for at least a hundred years."
"Moreover, the family is usually managed by a group of elders. What the family mainly does is mostly just decision-making."
Hearing Linghu Zhengxing's words, Duan Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.
A group of Linghu family members who were making sarcastic remarks just now stopped speaking. Even the elders of their Linghu family spoke. Naturally, they did not dare to continue making sarcastic remarks, but they were all thinking in their hearts. Wait a hundred years to see Duan Lingtian’s jokes.
"Duan Lingtian, you don't have to be like this."
Before the elders of the Linghu family could discuss it, Duan Lingtian received a message from Linghu Renjie, "I have long been tired of being the head of the Linghu family. It is rare for me to be free now, so why do you need to burden me anymore."
Duan Lingtian responded to Linghu Renjie immediately, "Master, you lost your position as the head of the family because of me. Within a hundred years, I will fight for you to get this position back... As for the future, I will help you fight for the position of the head of the family. After taking over, you can choose for yourself whether you want to continue to be the head of the Linghu family."
Duan Lingtian's words made Linghu Renjie not reply for a long time.
"Thanks."
After a long time, Linghu Renjie sent a message and sighed to thank him.
"It's me who should say thank you. Thanks to the family master for taking care of me along the way. Whenever I achieve something in the future, I will never forget the family master."
When Duan Lingtian was summoned again, he did not forget his promise.
At this moment, Linghu Renjie had no idea how heavy Duan Lingtian's promise was.
About an hour later, there was a response from the Linghu Family Elders Group.
"Duan Lingtian."
Linghu Zhengxing approached Duan Lingtian again, "The elders have agreed to your request."
"However, our Linghu family will not take advantage of you. As long as you can return the fifty million taels of sacred stones to the Linghu family within a hundred years, the Linghu family will let Linghu Renjie continue to be the head of the family... In the past hundred years, Linghu The family will not establish a new head of the family, and the elders will directly take charge of the family."
Linghu Zhengxing said.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he said with firm eyes: "Then I will return fifty million taels of divine stones to the family within a hundred years, and the other fifty million taels of divine stones will be given to the family head for personal control!"
A turmoil in the Linghu family has been settled for the time being.
…
Including Duan Lingtian, a group of people from the Linghu family stood high in the sky outside the Tianlong Sect's residence, waiting for the start of the Tianlong Sect's entrance examination in three days.
Some children of the Linghu family simply sat cross-legged in the void and practiced with their eyes closed.
With the three elders of their Linghu family here, they were not worried that anyone would take action against them and interrupt their cultivation.
As for the sound, they all turned on the formation disk containing the sound isolation formation, so they could not hear the sound from the outside world.
However, Duan Lingtian did not practice like these Linghu family disciples. His attention was on the space law clone that had just been successfully condensed in his body. Even if the space law clone did not appear, he could still clearly sense the space law. The existence of clones.
"Elder Zhengxing."
Suddenly, a voice came from a distance, getting closer and closer.
At this time, Duan Lingtian also subconsciously looked at the owner of the voice, a tall young man wearing brocade clothes who came from a distance.
Beside him, there was an old man of medium build and very inconspicuous appearance.
Behind them, there were hundreds of people, no less than the people from the Linghu family who came this time.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian saw a familiar face in the crowd. Almost at the same time, he guessed the origin of the group of people in front of him.
A member of the Murong family.
The familiar face he saw was none other than Hou Qingning.
"Duan Lingtian."
A moment after Duan Lingtian saw Hou Qingning, Hou Qingning's voice transmission sounded in Duan Lingtian's ears at the right time.
