Wudong: I, inward cultivation, made Lin Dong cry

Although Lin Yun didn't know Wang Yan's appearance, based on the time and the commotion among the Dao Sect disciples below, he could roughly guess the other party's identity.

The other party seemed to sense his gaze as well, and slightly raised his head to look at Lin Yun's direction.

His gaze also attracted the attention of other Dao Sect disciples.

“Hiss, that seems to be Ying Wuxie!”

“Yeah, yeah, who do you guys think is stronger, Wang Yan or him?”

“Although Ying Wuxie comprehended the Four Great Extraordinary Meridians, I feel that Senior Brother Wang Yan has a higher chance of winning. After all, Senior Brother Wang Yan is the most senior disciple among the young disciples of our Dao Sect.”

“That's true, it seems like this Palace Trial will be very intense.”

“Alas, I hope Ying Wuxie can win. Senior Brother Wang Yan's return for the Palace Trial this time is probably for the upcoming Sect Competition. He wants the command of the Dao Sect's participating disciples, using the power of the Dao Sect to take revenge on Yuan Gate in the Sect Competition.”

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Wang Yan cupped his fist slightly towards Lin Yun and said, “You should be Ying Wuxie who comprehended the Four Great Extraordinary Meridians, right? I won't hold back during the Palace Trial.”

Lin Yun smiled slightly and said, “Me neither!”

The originally departed Ying Huanhuan also appeared on a distant mountain peak, looking at Wang Yan and Lin Yun, and a slight smile appeared when she heard Lin Yun's words.

She knew Wang Yan's purpose for returning, but with Wang Yan's strength, perhaps only one person in the entire Dao Sect could definitely defeat him.

In the next few days, the news of Wang Yan's return spread throughout the Dao Sect, causing quite a stir.

Although some newly entered disciples didn't know much about this Senior Brother Wang Yan, they were all amazed when they learned that the latter was ranked second on the Sect Wanted List.

Compared to the widespread rumors among the Dao Sect disciples, the higher-ups of the Dao Sect remained silent. After Wang Yan returned to the sect, he didn't go to see any elders. He simply returned to his former residence on the mountain peak, closed his doors, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Palace Trial.

Time passed quickly in this atmosphere.

And the boiling atmosphere within the Dao Sect also began to swell, and this swelling finally soared to its peak on a certain day.

Lin Yun also pushed open the door and looked towards the distant giant peak.

“It's finally here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure headed towards the giant peak.

At this time, on these usually quiet giant peaks, there was an astonishing clamor. These sounds gathered together and spread far away, and even hundreds of miles away, they could be clearly heard.

The Palace Trial is the most grand competition held annually by the Dao Sect, and the entire Dao Sect, whether it is the higher-ups or the disciples, attaches great importance to it.

When Lin Yun arrived in this area, looking at this mighty scene, a smile appeared on his face.

“This scale is much larger than Yuan Gate's.”

After sighing, Lin Yun directly landed on the most central giant peak.

Because the number of disciples participating in the Palace Trial is extremely large, several competition venues are set up on the nearby giant peaks. However, in general, the place that truly attracts attention is still the mountain peak where Lin Yun landed, because here, the competitions of the most outstanding disciples among the four halls will be held.

Therefore, the popularity here is far more explosive than other giant peaks.

At this time, this giant peak was already full of people.

As soon as Lin Yun landed, he heard a lot of discussions.

“Look, everyone, Ying Wuxie is here.”

Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Lin Yun's gaze swept around the field, and he saw the areas where the disciples of the four halls were located. At the Sky Hall, he saw two beautiful figures standing at the very front, who were also the most eye-catching in this area, Ying Huanhuan and Ying Xiaoxiao.

He also saw Lin Dong's figure in the crowd of the Wilderness Hall.

Seeing him, Lin Yun also smiled slightly, but due to his identity, he didn't say hello.

After a brief eye contact, he shifted his gaze away.

Just at this moment, a gray shadow broke through the air and landed in the area where the Sky Hall disciples were located.

As soon as this figure appeared, the clamor on the entire mountain peak weakened a bit, and he didn't pay attention to the complex gazes of the crowd. When he landed, he just glanced at it lightly, then sat down cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip lightly when she saw the gray-robed figure, then slowly clenched her jade hand, and a resolute look gradually emerged in her clear eyes.

“Sister, don't worry too much, there's also Ying Wuxie.” Ying Huanhuan, who was beside her, gently took Ying Xiaoxiao's wrist.

Ying Xiaoxiao nodded, revealing a smile. She didn't know Ying Wuxie's true identity and strength, so she didn't dare to place her hopes on others.

If Ying Wuxie didn't have enough strength, even if he comprehended the Four Great Extraordinary Meridians, he might not necessarily be Wang Yan's opponent.

Lin Yun's gaze briefly lingered on the gray-robed figure before shifting to the very center of the platform.

That was the seat of the Dao Sect's higher-ups. At this time, the hall masters of the four halls had already taken their seats, and in the center was Ying Xuanzi with a calm expression.

The atmosphere on the seat was also a bit tense. The hall masters of the four halls looked at each other, and finally glanced at the place where Wang Yan was sitting, and then looked at the position where Lin Yun was.

“Sect Leader, this matter…” Qi Lei, the hall master of the Sky Hall, couldn't help but say in a low voice.

“Act according to the rules. It's almost time, announce the start of the Palace Trial!” Ying Xuanzi didn't even lift his eyelids, and said lightly.

Chen Zhen patted Qi Lei, the hall master of the Sky Hall, and looked at Lin Yun's position, signaling him to rest assured.

Qi Lei had no choice but to nod, stood up, and his sharp gaze swept across the crowd on the mountain peak.

The originally noisy mountaintop gradually quieted down.

“The Palace Trial is only for sparring, not life and death, so stop when you've made your point. If there is any suspicion of killing, the sect rules will never be lenient!”

Qi Lei's booming voice resounded almost throughout this world, and finally echoed on these giant peaks.

“Before coming, everyone should have received the matches from their respective halls. Next, follow what is written on the match and start the Palace Trial!”

As soon as Qi Lei's words fell, the top of the mountain suddenly boiled again. Many disciples flipped their palms, and a jade slip appeared, and then a sky-covering figure burst out and landed on the hundreds of platforms on the top of the mountain.

Seeing this, Lin Yun flipped his palm, and a jade slip flashed out, with the words 'Jia Yi' shining on the jade slip.

After glancing at the platform's match, Lin Yun's gaze swept over, and then his figure swept out, and under the gaze of one after another, he landed on a spacious platform.
