"Your mother is not dead, but you can't see her yet" Ling Yun's voice trembled a little, and he hugged his head in pain.

Seeing this, Ling Tian couldn't bear to ask again.

"Father, since Mother is still alive, why doesn't she want to see us once?" I want to know why" Ling Feng was a little excited, and continued to ask inquiringly.

Ling Yun's body trembled and did not speak.

Seeing this, Ling Feng wanted to continue to ask, but was pulled by Ling Tian.

"Hmm, what's the matter, big brother?" Ling Feng looked at Ling Tian suspiciously.

"Alas, don't ask, come out with me first" Ling Tian pulled Ling Feng back to his room.

Ling Tian closed the door of the room and said to Ling Feng, "Xiao Feng, don't ask my father about this anymore, we already know that my mother is not dead, isn't this the biggest good news?"

"But I want to know more about why. Ever since I was a child, every time I saw other people's children, my parents were used to spoiling them, do you know how envious I am? Big brother, aren't you envious?" Ling Feng's eyes were moist, and he hissed and roared.

Ling Tian took a deep breath and held back his tears: "How can you not be envious, but what can you do with envy?

"But we always have the right to know the truth of the matter," Ling Feng said stubbornly.

"But my father is in great pain now," Ling Tian was a little unbearable.

"Bang", the sound of a porcelain bowl smashing to the ground suddenly appeared in the lobby of the inn.

"Huh?", Ling Feng Ling Tian, who was arguing, hurriedly opened the door and rushed into the lobby.

In the lobby, Ling Yun was staggering back to his room, and the sound of the porcelain bowl hitting the ground was the sound of Ling Yun accidentally hitting the table and the porcelain bowl falling to the ground under force.

Ling Tian and Ling Feng watched Ling Yun staggering back to their room, and they also felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Although Ling Tian and Ling Feng both tried to support Ling Yun halfway, they were both thrown away by Ling Yun heavily.

Ling Tian Ling Feng didn't ask Ling Yun anything more, and stood in place stunned.

"Big brother, you see this is ......" Ling Feng's tone was very shocked, and when Ling Tian heard this, he quickly walked to where Ling Feng was, that is, the place where Ling Yun had been drinking alone just now.

"Demon Clan, Demon Emperor City". On the table, five words made up of blood droplets deeply stimulated Ling Tian and Ling Feng's brains.

"Demon Clan, is my mother a member of the Demon Clan, or was she just captured by the Demon Clan, or did she betray my father?" Ling Tian's mind had all sorts of possibilities.

Ling Angel shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of all these messy ideas.

"Let's go back and rest first, we have to hurry tomorrow," Ling Tian said to Ling Feng a little tiredly.

Hearing this, Ling Feng stopped talking and slowly walked back to his room.

Nothing to say all night......

Morning. Ling Tian, Ling Li, and Leng Yuexi followed Elder Li from the Falling Cloud Gate on the flying boat that returned to the Falling Cloud Gate, while Ling Feng stepped onto the flying boat of the Haoming Sect.

Ling Yun stood quietly outside the inn, looking at the backs of Ling Tian and Ling Feng getting farther and farther apart, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Ya'er, will we see each other again?" Ling Yun closed his eyes in pain, his fists clenched.

On the flying boat. The boat, which could have held 500 people, was extremely empty at this time.

In this sect competition, Luoyun Gate sent a total of 5 flying boats that could accommodate 500 people, but as a result, less than 400 disciples were recruited, and 400 people were evacuated to 5 flying boats, causing these 5 flying boats to be very empty.

Ling Tian pulled Leng Yuexi and walked in front of Elder Li, Ling Tian was a little puzzled and said, "Elder Li, although the Haoming Sect is in the limelight now, but Luoyun Sect is the number one sect in the Fengshen Empire, how can the number of people recruited this time be so different from the Haoming Sect?"

Seeing that it was Ling Tian and Leng Yuexi who stepped forward to ask, Elder Li sighed helplessly and said, "Although Luoyun Sect is the number one sect in the empire, in a few years, this position may belong to the Haoming Sect. ”

Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "No matter what, Luoyun Sect has always been the number one sect in the empire for nearly a hundred years, even if Haoming Sect has sprung up in recent years, compared to the background, Luoyun Sect is still much stronger than Haoming Sect." ”

When Elder Li heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Heritage? That's right, the foundation of Luoyun Gate is much stronger than that of Haoming Sect, but what is the use of having a strong foundation? No matter how strong it is, it can't match the mouth of the imperial family!"

"Hmm, what the hell is going on?" Ling Tian didn't fully understand what Elder Li was saying, and asked in a loud voice.

Elder Li sighed again, and his tone was very helpless: "It's very simple, for some reason, five years ago, the royal family of the Fengshen Empire suddenly publicly announced that they supported the Haoming Sect, which was only ranked fifth among the top ten sects in Mingzhou at that time, and since then, the development of the Haoming Sect has skyrocketed and is unstoppable. ”

"I see" Ling Tian suddenly realized, that's right, no matter how strong this Luoyunmen was before, and how strong the limelight was, but within this Mingzhou, and even within this empire, it was these imperial families who had the final say.

Elder Li sighed again and again: "This Haoming Sect has the support of the royal family, and it is only a matter of time before it replaces the Luoyun Sect, besides, the current Luoyun Sect has fallen into a dilemma, and among the new generation of young disciples, the Luoyun Sect is far from the Haoming Sect, and even the Ethereal Sect has the potential to catch up." ”

Ling Tian looked at Leng Yuexi, smiled slightly, and didn't say much.

Ten days later......

"It's done, suffocate me" As soon as the flying boat landed, Leng Yuexi pulled Ling Tian and couldn't wait to get out.

"Ah, it's finally here," Ling Tian sighed as he took a deep breath of enjoyment.

"Elder Li, there's something Ling Tian doesn't understand," Ling Tian turned his head to face Elder Li, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"This Luoyun Sect is in the northernmost part of Mingzhou, the Haoming Sect is in the southernmost part, and the Ethereal Sect is in the very center, so can there be a sect stationed in the easternmost and westernmost directions?" Ling Tian asked curiously and suspiciously.

Elder Li stroked his beard and replied, "Of course, there will be sects stationed, and the westernmost and easternmost stationed sects are naturally the sects ranked 4th and 5th among the top ten sects in Mingzhou. ”

Ling Tian was a little puzzled: "Then why is the Ethereal Sect located in the Joy Castle, while the Falling Cloud Gate and the Haoming Sect are located in the northernmost and southernmost parts respectively?"

"There are two reasons for this: first, most of the disciples of the Ethereal Sect are women, which is relatively popular, and second: the southernmost and northernmost parts of Mingzhou are adjacent to neighboring states, which are prone to war, so naturally Luoyunmen and Haomingzong should be in charge," Elder Li patiently explained.

"Of course, there are often wars between the East and the West, but compared to the North and the South, it is a small thing," Elder Li added.

"Understood," Ling Tian nodded.

In front of the Luoyun Gate, the Luoyun disciples in the five flying boats had all converged. The five elders led by Elder Li have also been assembled.

Four hundred disciples followed behind the five elders and walked into the Luoyun Gate.

And the first feeling that Luoyun Gate gave Ling Tian was solemn and heavy, with a hint of mystery.

You must know that Ling Tian had entered the Haoming Sect to visit Ling Xue under the leadership of Fu Laowei.

At that time, Haoming Sect gave Ling Tian the feeling of being gorgeous and magnificent, but now, compared to Luoyun Gate, he couldn't help but feel that Haoming Sect was too exaggerated and slightly vulgar.

After entering the Luoyun Gate, several elders took the four hundred freshman disciples to the three realms and issued a warrant to each of them.

Obviously, this warrant records the rules that need to be followed in the Luoyun Gate and the general situation of the Luoyun Gate.

Among the four hundred people, only Leng Yuexi, Ling Tian, and a young man with a cold face were assigned to the same area, as for where the others were divided, it was not for Ling Tian to know.

Luoyun Gate, Huafeng Mountain. Ling Tian, Leng Yuexi, and the young man were arranged here, and the residences of the three of them were also adjacent to each other.

At this time, Elder Li, who came to lead the way, said: "Huafeng Mountain is the residence of the disciples who have reached the Kaiyuan Realm in the sect selection competition over the years, and there have only been eight people living here in the past five years, of course, this year's three people are already the most in the past five years."

Ling Tian also felt a sense of desolation when he saw the lonely Huafeng Mountain, "Have all the senior brothers from five years ago left?" Ling Tian asked.

"Let's go, the people who can enter Huafeng Mountain are a group of heavenly pride, how can a small Luoyun Gate restrain their steps? Of course, there are also some disciples who are tired of the martial arts path, and they choose to stay in the Luoyun Gate and enjoy the glory and wealth," Elder Li said with some sadness.

"Okay, the three of you will live here first, you can first familiarize yourself with the rules and current general situation of Luoyun Gate in the next few days, you can also walk around to familiarize yourself with the environment, three days later, Luoyun Gate will hold a welcome ceremony for you, then, you all have to be present, okay, I still have some things to deal with, you can still arrange it!" After saying that, Elder Li turned around and left Huafeng Mountain.

"Ling Tian, Leng Yuexi" Ling Tian smiled and pointed at himself and Leng Yuexi, and said to the young man.

"I know you, one first, one third" The young man was a little shy and scratched his head: "My name is Liuyun, you can call me Ayun." ”

"Liuyun?good name, I saw that you had a cold face at first, and I thought you had a very cold personality, but now it seems that you should be shy and shy," Leng Yuexi said to Liuyun jokingly.

Liuyun scratched his head embarrassedly and did not answer.

"Let's go and pack up first, then look at the warrant, gather here at my place in the evening, and let's go visit the rest of the senior brothers on Huafeng Mountain together," Ling Tian said to the two.

When the other two heard this, they each returned to their lodgings, checked their warrants, and familiarized themselves with the rules.

At this time, Ling Tian also came to the place where he was going to live in this Luoyun Gate in the future.

Lingfu. Ling Tian saw the plaque hanging on his head and nodded with satisfaction.

Walking into the Ling Mansion, Ling Tian found that although this place was not very big, it was still not a problem to live in fifty people, but now, such a large courtyard was inhabited by him alone, and he couldn't help but feel lonely.

Ling Tian casually cleaned up, then walked over to the master bedroom and sat cross-legged.

Afterwards, Ling Tian took out the warrant from the Qiankun bag and examined it carefully.

In the warrant, the first thing introduced was the high-level level distribution of the Luoyun Gate, from top to bottom, the power distribution of each level was clearly written on the door order, but the true degree of it was not something that Ling Tian could understand now.

The top management of Luoyunmen is composed of one door master and three deputy door masters, and all the major matters of Luoyun Gate are discussed and solved by four door masters.

And under the master of the sect, there are several Supreme Elders, as for how many there are, there is no detailed record in the warrant, only it is written that these Supreme Elders, only when the sect is facing the disaster of annihilation, they will wake up from the retreat and save the sect......
