Below that cliff is a large flowing river. At this moment, a man in white is standing by the river, quietly staring at the river in a daze.

"It's really worthy of being his descendant, he actually has such a cultivation talent! With the cultivation of the Body Refining Realm, he can actually enter the inner gate, my Tianyu Sect has been founding for thousands of years, and he is the only inner disciple of the Body Refining Realm! If it takes time, his future will definitely be limitless!"

A relieved smile appeared on the face of the man in white, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he immediately took out a jade talisman from his arms.

"It's been thirteen years, Zhou Tianlong has finally grown up! If he knows the truth, he will definitely be very happy!" The white-clothed man thought secretly in his heart, and then crushed the jade talisman.

At this moment, in a mountain range tens of thousands of miles away from the Heavenly Rain Empire, there was a person who was cultivating.

The man sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff, or rather, suspended in mid-air on the edge of a cliff, with no support on all sides. The man's eyes were closed, and endless heaven and earth energy poured into his body frantically.

The man looked about forty or fifty years old, his face was as red as a flame, his hair and eyebrows were also red, and he was wearing a fiery red robe, which looked like a red cloud suspended in mid-air from a distance.

The fiery red robe was embroidered with a flame pattern, and on the left and right sides of the robe, there was a distinctive pattern. If you look closely, the pattern on the left is a dark blue sea of stars, like the vast universe, and the pattern on the right is a golden word, which is exactly the word "leave".

Suddenly, the man's eyes opened, and two sword-sharp rays of light shone through his eyes.

As the man's eyes opened, an aura like an ancient god suddenly emanated from his body. In an instant, the sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, the mountains were full of winds and dust, birds flew in the woods, and wild beasts fled in all directions. All the demon beasts in the entire mountain range all crawled down, trembling all over, and some low-level demon beasts even bled directly and died instantly.

"It's him!" the man's face was full of shock: "For the first time in thirteen years, he summoned me! Could it be that Zhou Tianlong had an accident......

The man was suddenly shocked, slowly closed his eyes, and his body slowly became nothing, and then disappeared into this space.

Early the next morning, Zhou Tianlong came to the bush again, and after spending half a morning, he finally collected all thirty red-eyed thunder rabbit demon crystals, and then returned to the sect.

Coming to Jia Wu's room in the Beizheng Pavilion, Zhou Tianlong presented thirty demon crystals, and Jia Wu was immediately overjoyed: "Senior Brother Zhou is really amazing, more than 30 people in my Fierce Horse Gang have not been able to capture a single red-eyed thunder rabbit, I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhou to be able to capture thirty red-eyed thunder rabbits alone!"

Jia Wuzhi said, with these thirty red-eyed thunder rabbit demon crystals, he could improve his cultivation by two or three levels. However, the energy contained in this demon crystal is extremely violent, and if there is no extremely high cultivation, it will be difficult to directly refine the demon crystal of the demon beast, so Jia Wu plans to go to Elder Yuqi tomorrow and ask him to refine these demon crystals into pills, and remove the violent energy in the demon crystal, which is also more conducive to his refining.

Immediately, Jia Wu arched his hand at Zhou Tianlong: "Thanks to Senior Brother Zhou this time, I, Jia Wu, have thanked me first!"

Zhou Tianlong shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Jia, it doesn't matter if you thank you or not, it's just what I asked Senior Brother Jia to do, and I hope Senior Brother Jia can agree." ”

Jia Wu immediately nodded: "Senior Brother Zhou, don't worry, within the three years that Senior Brother Zhou is gone, I will definitely do my best to protect Zheng Fei and the eight of them." No matter which gang in the inner gate, if you want to be unfavorable to them, you have to see if I Jia Wu agrees first. ”

At first, what Jia Wu was worried about was just that he was afraid that others would say that he agreed to protect Zheng Fei and the eight of them because he was threatened by Zhou Tianlong, but now that Zhou Tianlong has given him benefits, Jia Wu doesn't have to worry about damaging the reputation of himself and the Liema Gang, so he naturally agreed to Zhou Tianlong's request without hesitation.

Zhou Tianlong arched his hand and said, "Since that's the case, thank you Senior Brother Jia!"

The safety of Zheng Fei's eight people was guaranteed, and Zhou Tianlong also felt that his heart was as easy as a boulder falling to the ground, so he immediately told Zheng Fei the good news, but he didn't say a word to them about going out to practice.

Hearing this, Zheng Fei and the others were also overjoyed. They had always been worried about their revenge for offending too many gangs in the inner gate, but now that Zhou Tianlong could climb the big backer of the Fierce Horse Gang, all the troubles would be completely eliminated, and they were naturally very happy in their hearts.

Of course, as for how he climbed into the Fierce Horse Gang with both soft and hard methods, Zhou Tianlong brought it over vaguely, firstly, he was afraid that Zheng Fei would be worried, and secondly, he felt that there was no need to tell them. Because in Zhou Tianlong's opinion, these eight people, needless to say, Zheng Fei needless to say, the other seven people have already been regarded by him as his own brothers, for the safety of his brothers, shed some blood and were injured, this is nothing at all.

Although Zhou Tianlong didn't say it, Zheng Fei and the others were also clear in their hearts, from the serious expression on Zhou Tianlong's face when he left that day, they could guess that Zhou Tianlong's trip must be dangerous.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Zhou Tianlong was practicing the True Dragon Quenching Technique, when a member of the Burning Horse Gang suddenly pushed the door in: "Senior Brother Zhou, there are a few disciples in the gang, I want to see the nine of you!"

Zhou Tianlong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly notified Zheng Fei and the eight of them to come to the meeting hall of the Burning Horse Gang together. Now, the injuries of Zheng Fei's eight people are basically almost better, and during this time, because of the protection of the Burning Horse Gang, neither the Viper Gang, nor the Sky Wolf Gang nor the Giant Bear Gang have come to trouble them.

However, Zhou Tianlong also knew in his heart that if he could hide for a while, he couldn't hide for a lifetime, since they had offended these gangs, although these gangs did not dare to take action for the time being because of the strength of the Burning Horse Gang, but they could not take action in the future. Therefore, in Zhou Tianlong's opinion, the safest way is to improve his strength, so as not to be afraid of their retaliation. Always relying on the protection of others, that is not Zhou Tianlong's style.

At this time, Jia Wu was not in the hall, and the other Burning Horse Gang members were not there, but in the center of the hall, there were several inner disciples standing.

"Is it you?" Zhou Tianlong was stunned for a moment, he knew all these people, and all of them were disciples of the Great Elder Yu Feinan. Yu Feinan sent people to invite him three times, so Zhou Tianlong also knew a lot about the disciples under Yu Feinan's seat.

"Could it be that the Great Elder is going to call me over again to talk about accepting disciples?" Zhou Tianlong frowned. After noticing Yu Feinan's ambition last time, Zhou Tianlong had no good ideas about Yu Feinan, and he was even more determined that he would not worship Yu Feinan's door.

Regardless of whether Yu Feinan was right or wrong, Zhou Tianlong had a special affection for Sect Master Yu Dongyang from the bottom of his bones. Because he has no parents, and he was brought to the Tianyu Sect by Yu Dongyang, Yu Dongyang is like his parents in a sense. No matter who is right or wrong between Yu Dongyang and Yu Feinan, once there is any conflict, Zhou Tianlong believes that he will not hesitate to stand on Yu Dongyang's side.

"But if he wants to mention the matter of apprenticeship to me, how can he call the eldest brother and them all?" Zhou Tianlong was a little puzzled in his heart.

Those disciples also knew Zhou Tianlong, and they all knew in their hearts that the master valued Zhou Tianlong very much, so they were also very polite to Zhou Tianlong, and they all stepped forward and said: "Senior Brother Zhou, we are here to inform you that tomorrow is the day for the new disciples to hold the apprenticeship ceremony, and I hope that the nine of you will rush to the hall on the third floor of Zhongxing Pavilion early tomorrow morning to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"Apprenticeship ceremony?" Zhou Tianlong was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that the sect master is out of the customs?"

The disciples did not answer, but turned around and left.

Zheng Fei and the eight of them were all a little excited at this time, as long as the apprenticeship ceremony was held, they could worship under their favorite elders, and begin to accept the guidance of the elders, and their cultivation speed would become faster and faster.

Zhou Tianlong was full of doubts at this time, he heard Liu Yuchen say that the sect master could not hold an apprenticeship ceremony if he was not there. Besides, he is determined to worship under the sect master's door, if the sect master is not there, then he may not have the opportunity to worship under the sect master's door.

At that moment, Zhou Tianlong did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly left the Beizheng Pavilion and went to Liu Yuchen.

"Apprenticeship ceremony?" Liu Yuchen looked puzzled: "This apprenticeship ceremony is a relatively important ceremony in the inner door, such a big thing, why don't I know anything about it?"

"Besides, the master hasn't been out of the customs yet, how can the apprenticeship ceremony be held?" Liu Yuchen was even more puzzled in his heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, this apprenticeship ceremony was held privately by the Great Elder!" Zhou Tianlong said.

"What?" Liu Yuchen was suddenly shocked, in the past few days, this Great Elder had brought her a lot of shock.

Zhou Tianlong nodded: "The disciples who came to inform us are all disciples of the Great Elder. Moreover, since you don't know, presumably the Great Elder is silent about this matter!"

"But, why did the Great Elder do this?" Liu Yuchen was a little puzzled.

Zhou Tianlong frowned, did not speak, and secretly thought in his heart: "The reason why the Great Elder wants to hold this apprenticeship ceremony privately must be to take advantage of the other elders' ignorance and take advantage of the fact that the other elders do not know the way to take advantage of the fact that the nine of us are under his sect, so as to improve the strength of his disciples and prepare for him to compete with the sect master in the future." ”

Of course, Zhou Tianlong only guessed half right, Yu Feinan's move was just for him, as for Zheng Fei and the other eight people, Yu Feinan didn't have much interest, and he didn't care if he could worship him or not.

At this moment, Zhou Tianlong was also anxious: now that the sect master had not yet come out of retreat, the Great Elder insisted on holding an apprenticeship ceremony during this time. If the Great Elder insists on accepting himself as a disciple tomorrow, what should he do?
