Chapter 457: On the eve of the competition
In addition to the high-profile Ling family, the other families in Yuan Tongcheng also came to the scene this time. This is an unprecedented thing in Yuantong City.
Clan competitions are held in each family, but other families generally do not participate, and even if they come, they will not show up, but secretly observe and watch the juniors who can make them pay attention to the re-competition.
Numerous families, large and small, are waiting in their stands for this unprecedented contest to begin.
In addition to these families who can have their own stands, there are thousands of onlookers, and the huge square can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but it is difficult to find a place to foot in the square now.
The crowd of onlookers looked at each other side by side, and although the contest had not yet begun, people were already looking forward to it.
Just when the crowd was in a hurry to find a better position, a high-pitched voice came, and all the voices in the crowd were silenced for a moment, and then at the east entrance of the square, the crowd hula flashed to both sides to make way for a passage.
After that, I saw more than a dozen young men wearing priest robes walking into the arena first, and then I saw Qi Li and several other vice presidents also coming in, and the little trickster who hadn't shown up for a long time followed Qi Li's side, with a pair of big smart eyes turning around and looking around, as if looking for something.
After Qi Li and the others, he thought that the old man in the red sacrificial refining uniform walked into the venue with a steady gait and a calm face.
"Mother, this time the Ling family's face has earned enough, and the people from the Sacrifice Master Guild are also here. There was a burst of surprise from the crowd. Нёǐуа пg e.с О М
"Bullshit, do you think that the people from the Sacrifice Refinery Guild are giving face to the Ling family, and they are for the Holy Star Genius. ”
"That is, I heard that the Holy Star genius Ling Yan is also a member of the Sacrifice Refiner Guild, and he was also given a special sacrifice suit and badge. ”
"Yes, it's really not allowed to be lucky enough to see this competition. ”
For a while, all kinds of voices came from the crowd, and there were similar sounds in every corner of the entire venue, and of course the people of the Ling family could hear it.
I saw Ling Haoyang, who was sitting in the main stand, frowning tightly. The hands holding the armrests trembled with anger.
"Hmm......" Ling Yuan snorted in a deep voice. "What are you going to do? Do you think these people are wrong?"
"Elder Taizu. Hearing Ling Yuandui's voice in an unkind tone, Ling Haoyang hurriedly stood up and hugged his fist respectfully: "Please Elder Taizu to atone for your sins, I shouldn't pay attention to these voices." ”
"Hmm. Ling Yuandui snorted casually: "The Ling family is powerful, but it is not yet big enough for the Priest Guild to come forward, this time they came here because of that little doll of Ling Yan." No matter how it ends, this time Ling Yan little doll you have to give me the clan. ”
"It's all up to Elder Taizu. Ling Haoyang said. After finishing speaking, Ling Haoyang turned his head to look at the side of the Sacrificial Refiner Guild who had already arrived at the stands, and then said, "Elder Taizu, your old man wait in peace first, I'll go over there to say hello, after all, we are the Lord today." ”
Ling Yuanwan neither nodded nor shook his head at Ling Haoyang's words, but closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.
Seeing that Ling Yuandui didn't answer, Ling Haoyang bowed and retreated. Just as he was about to go to the stands of the Priest Guild to say hello, Ling Yuandu, who had closed his eyes, said behind his back: "It's okay if you don't do this kind of useless work, I want to ask the people of the Ling family branch in Shaoyang City what are you going to arrange? They must have already arrived today." ”
Ling Haoyang, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard Ling Yuandui's words, and turned around and said, "Elder Taizu, the branch of Shaoyang City has been expelled from my clan, and we ......"
"You can do it yourself. Hearing this, Ling Yuanwan said impatiently: "Don't do what you should do, you don't think a lot about what you shouldn't do, you can go." ”
"Yes. Ling Haoyang knew that this old man's temper was very strange, otherwise he wouldn't be called an old stubborn man. But since Ling Yuandui mentioned the branch of Shaoyang City, Ling Haoyang didn't dare not care.
So after saying goodbye to Ling Yuandui, Ling Haoyang came to the stands of the Sacrificial Refiner's Guild, and he wanted to arrange for someone to find the branch of Shaoyang City after saying hello to the Sacrificial Refiner's Guild.
However, when he came to the stands of the Priest Guild, he was stopped by a young priest.
"Patriarch Ling, the elder will not be a guest, please go back. ”
"Oh?" Ling Haoyang's eyes suddenly appeared displeased, and he flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "The little priest dares to stop me, get out of the way." ”
Saying that, Ling Haoyang didn't care that the young priest stretched out his hand to stop him and walked directly to the stands.
Although he was a member of the Sacrificial Refinery Guild, the young sacrificial refiner didn't dare to really do anything to Ling Haoyang, after all, where was the strength of the Ling family, if something unpleasant happened to the Ling family because of himself, it was not something that he could take responsibility for as a small sacrificial refiner.
"Patriarch Ling, please stay, we will grow up and ......"
"The Ling family patriarch. Just when the young priest was in a dilemma, Qi Li's voice came and the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Vice-President. ”
"Well, you go, find the people from Shaoyang City and invite them here. ”
"Yes. The young priest was ordered to leave.
"Patriarch Ling, please forgive me for the loss. Qi Li smiled and said with a slight fist.
Although Qi Li's words were very polite, he didn't have the slightest intention of apologizing for what happened just now, and of course Ling Haoyang knew that what the young priest did just now must have been tacitly approved by these people.
As the head of the clan, Ling Haoyang would not lose his courtesy, and he also replied with a fist: "Brother Qi Li has always been good, but I didn't expect the Ling family's competition this time to alarm the guild, so I am here to thank you." ”
"There's no need to thank us, our elders are just here to help our guild's priests, so there is not much need for the Ling family to thank us. I know you must be busy, so I won't leave you alone. Saying that, Qi Li made a gesture to see off the guest.
Seeing this, Ling Haoyang really hated not giving himself a mouthful, and regretted why he didn't listen to Ling Yuandui's words. In the end, Ling Yuandui was right, and his coming was not only useless, but also humiliated.
"Okay, since that's the case, Ling said goodbye. ”
Ling Haoyang is not the kind of person who slaps horses, he just comes to meet him in courtesy, since the other party doesn't care about his courtesy at all, then why do he have a hot face and a cold ass. After finishing speaking, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned to leave.
When Ling Haoyang walked over the stands, he remembered what Qi Li said just now: "The Sacrificial Refiner's Guild wants to let that branch that was expelled from their stand?"
Ling Haoyang's eyes turned cold, even he was rejected by others, a small branch was actually invited to the stands, tens of thousands of eyes in the venue saw this scene in their eyes, if the people of Shaoyang City were really invited to the stands of the Priest Guild, where would the face of the Ling family go?
Thinking that the Ling family would become the laughing stock of others in the future, Ling Haoyang returned to his stand with a calm face: "Come here, no matter what method you use, you must find the group of abandoned sons in Shaoyang City." ”
"Yes, Patriarch. A member of the Ling family replied. "Patriarch, what should I do after I find someone, do I arrest him or ...... it?"
"Give me all ......" Ling Haoyang was furious, but suddenly saw Ling Yuandui looking at him with his eyes half-open and half-closed. After the unfinished words, he pressed back, and muttered for a moment before saying, "After finding it, find a place behind the other branches to settle in." ”
"Yes. ”
The clansmen were ordered to leave, Ling Haoyang first ate the closed door, and then when he thought of the embarrassing situation now, his chest churned with anger, and he slapped the chair he was sitting on, and the chair suddenly broke sound.
Both the Priest Guild and the Ling family had to look for a branch in Shaoyang City, and the Ling family in Shaoyang City had indeed come to Yuantong City under the leadership of Ling Rui.
It's just that in Yuantong City, forces like them are like a drop in the ocean, and they are nowhere to be found in the vast sea of people.
At this time, the Ling family was silently watching the field in a corner on the edge.
Ling Rui put his hand on the pergola and looked at the field, his eyes were full of impatient searching. The three old men next to him also looked forward to the field. One of the old men was none other than the Great Elder who remained in the desert.
In order to catch up with this clan competition, the Great Elder hollowed out most of the family in the desert and got a fourth-order flying demonic beast, and then crossed the desert alone and walked alone into the vast mountains The descendants of the Emperor Clan went through nine deaths before coming to Yuantong City, and it could be seen from his face that the Great Elder was very tired now, but there was no trace of exhaustion in his eyes.
"Brother Ling Feng, why didn't I see Ling Yan?Did you see it?Where is he?" Ling Yuhan jumped behind the crowd and searched inside, his little face even more anxious.
"I haven't seen it either, but don't worry, Ling Yan will definitely come, he will definitely not miss the competition. ”
"Of course I knew he was coming, but now I see him. Ling Yuhan didn't realize what he was talking about at all, if it was usual, a girl would definitely be shy to say such a thing.
"Family Master, hasn't Yan'er arrived yet?" Among the elders, besides Ling Rui, the one who most wanted to see Ling Yan was probably the Great Elder.
At first, it was the Great Elder who indifferently drove Ling Yan out of the Ling family, but later on, he and Ling Yan experienced life and death together in the desert, and to some extent, even Ling Rui was not as deep as the Great Elder's feelings for Ling Yan.
"It shouldn't have arrived yet, right?" Ling Yan let go, but there was no disappointment on his face: "I'm sure Yan'er has arrived, it's not surprising that we can't find so many people, and Yan'er will naturally appear when it comes to the competition." ”
"It's been more than a year since I was separated from the desert, and I still really miss this little guy, hehe. "How can the Great Elder still have the indifferent appearance of the past, just like a kind old man.
