Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023

Before Ling Feng could answer, Mu Qianxue grabbed his arm, her eyes full of hope as she looked at him. "Big Brother Long, you're staying with Ye Xue, right?"

The Black Dragon Envoy's brow twitched. He turned to Ling Feng. "Kid, this concerns your future. Think it through carefully."

"Thank you, Black Dragon Envoy Lord, for your kindness."

Ling Feng cupped his fist and bowed to the Black Dragon Envoy. "Just now the Purple Dragon Envoy Lord helped me once. I, Long Fei, always repay kindness. Besides, my friend still needs my care. So I'll go with the Purple Dragon Envoy Lord to the Purple Dragon Hall."

Ling Feng truly did not feel comfortable leaving Mu Qianxue alone at the Purple Dragon Hall. After all, he was the one who brought her here. He had a duty to bring her out safely too.

The Black Dragon Envoy let out a sigh. "Very well. But if you change your mind, you can come to our Black Dragon Hall anytime. The Black Dragon Hall suits you best."

"Brother Black, that's not fair!"

Purple Dragon Envoy shot him a glare. "Trying to poach my disciple right in front of me? You have no shame."

"Hahaha! Bai Su, you've taken in such an excellent girl. You're making this old man jealous!"

He cast one last reluctant glance at Ling Feng before leaping away.

Soon, all eight Canglong Envoys had chosen their disciples. The other disciples who passed the beginner selection were assigned to the Eight Great Canglong Sanctums. At last, this round of selection was finished.

The Purple Dragon Hall sat in the southwest part of the Canglong Sacred Domain, not far from the arena where Ling Feng and the others had competed.

Inside the Canglong Sanctum, there were eight Canglong Halls in total, each positioned according to the eight trigrams. At the very center stood the Imperial Palace, where the Canglong Demon Ruler resided. Normally, even Canglong Envoys could not step into the demon ruler's dwelling freely.

Within the entire Canglong Demon Domain, the Canglong Demon Ruler held absolute power over life and death. No one doubted this in the slightest.

After learning more, Ling Feng realized how different the demon race's sects were from human ones. There were fewer rigid rules. Resources had to be fought for. Treasures had to be seized.

This rule suited the demon race's nature perfectly!

Before long, Bai Su led the new disciples of the Purple Dragon Hall to the main hall for the entrance ceremony. This ceremony was extremely important within the Purple Dragon Hall, so all four grand elders attended.

Each of these four grand elders was a high-tier demon emperor with immense strength. There were countless other demon emperors and demon kings present as well.

Only after coming to this sacred land did Ling Feng truly grasp how deep its foundation ran. He found himself looking forward even more to the day he would visit the human race's sacred land, the Dongling Immortal Pool.

The so-called entrance ceremony was really just an oath. The disciples shouted vows of loyalty to the Canglong Sanctum and the Canglong Demon Ruler. After about half an hour, the tedious ritual finally came to an end.

Bai Su swept her gaze across the grand hall, then turned to Ling Feng.

"Long Fei, according to our Canglong Sanctum's rules, each Canglong Envoy can only take one disciple each round. I've already taken Ye Xue. As for you, you can start as an ordinary disciple. With your talent and strength, I believe you'll soon rise to the elite rank or even become a demon king."

Bai Su's tone was calm.

"All right. Thank you, Purple Dragon Envoy Lord."

Ling Feng felt a surge of relief. This suited him perfectly. He had not come to the Canglong Sanctum to take a master. Without a master, he would have fewer restraints.

"Mhmm." Bai Su nodded slightly, then turned to the four demon emperors standing in the hall. "Whose turn is it to take in the newcomers this time?"

A burly man stepped forward. He stood at least two meters tall, muscles bulging like knotted iron. One of his arms was as thick as an ordinary man's thigh.

Behind him swayed a long tiger tail, proof that he belonged to the Fierce Tiger clan.

"So it's Tiger Might Demon King." Bai Su's brow creased slightly. She cast a worried glance at Ling Feng.

Tiger Might Demon King came from the territory of the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. He was one of the five house champions of the Silver Wolf Demon Clan.

Although Tiger Might Demon King now served the Canglong Sanctum, his roots still lay with the Silver Wolf Demon Clan.

"Tiger Might Demon King, since it's your turn, this batch of ordinary disciples entering the Purple Dragon Hall will be under your training."

Bai Su let out a faint sigh and continued. "I expect to see an elite force soon, not a rabble with no discipline!"

Tiger Might Demon King bowed deeply and answered with respect. He swept his eyes over the new disciples and nodded in satisfaction. He was pleased with the quality of this group.

"By the way, Purple Dragon Envoy Lord," Tiger Might Demon King said, as if recalling something. He grinned at Bai Su. "That Silver Wolf Young Master, Yin Xue, was this round's triple champion, right?"

He looked expectantly at Bai Su. He had great faith in Yin Xue's strength.

Bai Su did not reply immediately. Ling Feng, on the other hand, froze. This was too much of a coincidence. He had only followed Mu Qianxue to the Purple Dragon Hall, and now he had run straight into the Silver Wolf Clan's lackeys. Worse yet, they were his direct superiors now!

Life ahead would not be easy!

"That boy Yin Xue has already been taken as a direct disciple by the Red Dragon Envoy. As for the triple champion..."

Bai Su paused, glanced at Ling Feng, then said, "Your young lord fell short of that."

She herself found it ironic. But for Ling Feng, this could be a trial by fire. Geniuses who grew in adversity often stunned the world even more. She looked forward to seeing if Ling Feng could endure Tiger Might Demon King's trials and keep pushing forward.

Tiger Might Demon King blinked and muttered, "Did he lose the first round? His body is not that strong, so losing the first stage makes sense."

Bai Su shook her head. "Yin Xue did not place first in any of the three stages. The real triple champion is right here in this hall." She cast another look at Ling Feng.

Tiger Might Demon King froze, turned his eyes to Mu Qianxue, and gasped. "This cat demon girl? So young and already this remarkable. Could she be from the legendary Netherworld Spirit Cat clan?"

He quickly congratulated Bai Su. "Congratulations, Purple Dragon Envoy Lord, on receiving such a gifted disciple. In a hundred years, our Purple Dragon Hall will surely produce another demon emperor-level expert."

Bai Su paused. She realized he had misunderstood completely.
