Bailang City, the Ling family.

Early in the morning, the mansion was a busy scene, full of servants coming in and out, busy cleaning and arranging everywhere, the Ling family was also full of lights on this day, as if it was a festival.

Today is the day of the Ling family's annual family competition, whether it is an outstanding child who has been trained abroad or a member who is doing business abroad, they must return to the family and participate in the grand event that is only once a year.

On this day, the head of the Ling family and the elders of the clan, including some of the elders who are in retreat, will attend, and as a dependent Lin family, they will also send representatives to watch, if they find good seedlings, they may immediately be selected into the Lin family as a preparatory genius to cultivate.

The top genius children in the Ling family also got up early on this day and started to prepare, and everyone seemed a little excited.

At this time of year, it is the day that the children of these families are most looking forward to, on this day, the outstanding disciples who are confident, powerful and have made great progress are looking forward to emerging on this day, gaining the favor of the family, and thus stepping onto the stage of higher and wider ranks.

For such a grand event, the Ling family's Council of Elders, including the head of the family, attaches great importance to it, and through such a family competition, you can see the overall level of the younger generation, and you will have a more intuitive grasp of the future development of the family.

As the first person in the power of the Ling family and the core figure of the Ling family, Ling Zhen, the head of the Ling family, also got up early in the morning on this day, and under the service of the servants, he was dressed in full costume and looked extraordinarily grand.

"Family master, don't worry, maybe the young master will come back today!"

The old servant who has been loyal to him has been following Ling Zhen for many years, and he has a grasp of Ling Zhen's demeanor, every word and deed, and it can be seen that Ling Zhen is worried about Ling Yun, in the past, Ling Yun never participated in the clan competition, but hid far away, at least after ten days and half a month before he appeared, however, this year's clan comparison, Ling Yun's body suddenly improved, so that Ling Zhen saw a little hope, but since he entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range more than three months ago, he has not heard from him, and it is difficult to know life and death, which is also a stone that Ling Zhen has been pressing in his heart。

The old servant Mo Di comforted Ling Zhen with a voice.

Ling Zhen waved his hand, his face showed a coldness, and said: "Needless to say, I know, I don't worry about that kid's life and death, the day he is let out, everything is already up to me!"

"Don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the young master will definitely be able to catch up!"

Mo Di had full confidence in Ling Yun.

"Well, I know, Lao Mo, for those little guys in the family now, what do you think of them now?

"I heard that the second master's son Ling Feng has broken through to the Yidong realm, and his cultivation is to chase after the transformation of the fan, he is the first person of the Ling family, followed by the eldest son of the third master, Ling Dong, who seems to have also broken through to the Yidong realm, that is, the recent thing, think about it, the realm should not be very stable, I am afraid that I will be crushed by Ling Feng, the rest of the children have made great progress in the past three months, it seems that they were stimulated by the young master's performance in the martial arts pavilion that day, many of the children have made rapid progress, most of them have broken through to the internal strength realm in a short period of time, and there are many children in the martial arts realm, like several descendants of the lineage, have already stepped into this realm, This year's clan competition is very fierce, with the young master's talent, if he can break through to the internal strength realm in the past few months, it will be no problem to maintain the status of the family lineage!"

Mo Di gave Ling Zhen a detailed introduction to the situation among the younger generation of the Ling family.

Ling Zhen nodded, standing with his hands in his hands, the conversation between the two was still in his study, Ling Zhen silently stared at the picture of a beautiful woman stroking the qin on the wall, his eyes were focused, but he was single-minded, and his mouth continued to talk to Mo Di: "This year, can the Lin family be informed, who will be sent to inspect?"

Mo Di bowed and said: "The head of the family, the Lin family did not inform in advance this year, but that person should be here in a while, according to the old slave's guess, the Lin family is estimated to send a descendant elder of the Lin family to come, this elder is not light in the Lin family, it should be Chong Ling Feng and Ling Dong!"

"I think of the genius of my Ling family, but I don't have the ability to keep it, in the end, it is really a sad thing to be used by others, and now I still have to rely on others to breathe!

Ling Zhen sighed slightly.

Mo Di whispered: "The old slave knows the hardships of the family master, should he forbear or forbear, the Lin family has a strong momentum, and it has become obviously stronger in the three major families, which proves that your choice was correct!"

"That's an expedient measure after all! This time the clan may not be peaceful, it's better to wait and see what happens, and let me go out to meet it!"

Ling Zhen's face turned solemn, and he stepped out of the study first, while the old servant Mo Di respectfully followed.

......

The Ling family is attached to the Lin family, not only has to provide a lot of resources to the Lin family every year, but also all outstanding demon children will also be valued by the Lin family and selected into the Lin family.

In the past, the Ling family had been concerned by the Lin family because of Ling Yun's outstanding performance, and even Ling Yun was accepted by the Lin family that year, and cultivated with the outstanding children of the Lin family.

However, the demonic posture shown by Ling Feng and Ling Dong at the age of sixteen was enough to alarm the party, and it was natural that they were valued by the Lin family.

As the Lin family, the movements of each family attached to it will be grasped in real time, and major events such as the Ling family's annual clan comparison are also extremely cautious, and I also heard that this year, the Ling family has produced two sixteen-year-old geniuses who have entered the realm of Yidong at the same time, and the high-level of the Lin family can't sit still, and sent the elders of the descendant family to the Ling family, and the intention of soliciting can't help but say.

For the attention of the Lin family, the Ling family did not dare to slack off, and gave a high-standard reception to the Lin family, an expatriate elder.

The head of the Ling family personally led the top of the family, and a group of people with serious faces stood outside the gate of the Ling family early and waited.

For this day, the gate of the Ling family is also freshly painted, and the two gilded Ling mansions are even more shining, showing a bit of nobility, and the two stone beasts in front of the door are even more proud and majestic, symbolizing the spirit of the Ling family.

The weather in early autumn was already a little cool, especially early in the morning, standing at the door, independent in the wind, the cold wind was still blowing and the faces of the people were cold, however, every member of the Ling family present was not half lazy and complaining, but all of them cheered up and respectfully waited for the arrival of the elders of the Lin family.

Ling Zhen is the leader, standing at the front, behind him is the second elder of the Ling family, Ling Buyu, as his name suggests, in fact, he usually speaks little, rarely speaks, and beside him is Ling Feiyang, the third elder of the Ling family, the two stand side by side, from the realm point of view, the two sides are not much different, from the subtle eyes, the two should rarely communicate, after all, the sons of the two are now considered to be the top figures in the younger generation of the Ling family, but they are also opponents, which makes the relationship between each other a little delicate.

Behind the two, several descendants of the Ling family stood side by side in the third row, each of them was extremely upright, and they didn't even dare to breathe at will, but deliberately controlled their breath.

In the fourth row, there are members of the Ling family's Council of Elders, there are seven old people with relatively old qualifications and ages, these people are all members of the older generation of the Ling family, some of them have stopped and crossed slowly, so they chose to join the Council of Elders and help preside over various affairs of the Ling family.

This Council of Elders is the Council of Elders at the core level, which can only be entered by elders with a relatively advanced realm, and it can also be regarded as a backbone of the Ling family.

Everyone present didn't dare to slack off on the elders sent by the Lin family to inspect the Ling family, and some people also got the news, knowing that the elder sent by the Lin family this year is quite weighty, and he attaches great importance to the Ling family's clan ratio this year, and he should also bring some instructions from the head of the Lin family.

Not long after, on the official road that entered the Ling family, a row of powerful figures appeared, but it made the Ling family's descendants standing in front of the Ling family's gate stunned.

When Ling Zhen saw the row of figures on the official road, his pupils were slightly dilated, and his expression became extremely solemn.
