Huo Ling ignored Liu Ruzhou's current thoughts and said, "I will go and invite the clan elders later to see if it is you, Liu Ruzhou, who is slandering me, the young master, or if the fire-type magic I have learned is truly a forbidden technique."
At this moment, the elders and patriarch of the Fire Clan appeared and looked at Wan Jiaoyang.
They all saw it just now; this is the person who can suppress Liu Ruzhou.
In their eyes, the sword immortal Liu Ruzhou was already a very powerful person.
Who would have thought that this person was even more formidable than Liu Ruzhou?
I wonder where Huo Ling got such good luck to meet such a powerful person?
Seeing that the clan chief and elders had arrived just in time, Huo Ling told them about Huo Xiaolong's provocation and Liu Ruzhou's slander against him.
The clan elders and clan leader already knew the cause and effect of the matter, so they asked Huo Xiaolong and Liu Ruzhou to apologize to Huo Ling, and said, "We are all from the fire clan, so we should value harmony."
However, Huo Xiaolong was unwilling, saying, "Huo Ling's fire magic is different from all of ours!"
Huo Ling retorted directly, "You think you're right just because you're weak? You yourself are not talented enough and haven't learned to truly use fire-based magic, yet you still have the nerve to say that?"
Huo Ling is not the clan leader's son. He only secured his position as the young master by winning the annual direct line competition.
However, Huo Xiaolong, who came from a collateral branch, was not convinced.
He felt that he was also very capable, just because Huo Ling was a direct descendant and could participate in the annual competition, which would make him the young master, and he was more capable than Huo Ling.
At this moment, the Fire Clan Chief spoke up, "Stop talking. Huo Ling has solved the Broken Bridge incident, and the higher-ups will reward him. If you're so capable, why don't you go and try it yourself?"
Huo Xiaolong was still unconvinced. He said, "But wasn't the problem at the Broken Bridge resolved?"
“There is another place,” the clan chief said, looking at the clan elder.
The clan elder stepped forward and said, "An ancient tomb has appeared in the Wanglong Mountains. No matter what's inside, even the most sophisticated instruments can't detect it, and no one who went in has ever come out alive. Now, the higher-ups want us, the reclusive families, to take action."
The clan chief nodded in agreement: "Many hermit families will be entering that ancient tomb this time, partly to rescue people and partly to resolve the anomalies within the tomb."
Then, the clan leader sent Huo Ling and Huo Xiaolong together, along with other members of the fire clan.
Because the ancient tomb is dangerous, the clan leader also instructed Huo Ling and Huo Xiaolong to practice fire-based spells diligently recently.
Finally, Wan Jiaoyang led his men away.
Just then, the long sword in Liu Ruzhou's hand emitted a buzzing sound, a sound that indicated the appearance of a divine sword nearby, a sound that would make all other swords submit.
Ahri manipulated the divine sword back into Wan Jiaoyang's hair bun, saying with some regret, "It's such a pity I didn't get to see my master make a move."
Huo Ling heard Ah Li's voice, but after looking left and right, he couldn't see Ah Li. So he asked Wan Jiaoyang, "Senior Wan, where is Ah Li?"
Wan Jiaoyang looked coldly at Huo Ling, and his previous killing intent suddenly reappeared.
Ahri quickly floated out of the divine sword and landed beside Wan Jiaoyang, tugging at his sleeve. "Master, why didn't you teach that person a lesson?"
Wan Jiaoyang gave Ah Li a deep look. She really did like him, didn't she? He had just shown a hint of murderous intent when she came out to save him.
"Ah Li".
As soon as Huo Ling saw Ah Li appear, he took out the candy he had bought on the way and asked, "Ah Li, do you want some?"
Ahri looked at the candy in Huo Ling's hand and shook her head, saying, "Neither my master nor I eat these things. My master has long since abstained from grains, and as a sword spirit, I can't eat these things either."
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling silently crossed out his plan to take Ah Li out to eat.
Wan Jiaoyang stared at Huo Ling and said, "Have you forgotten what the clan leader and elders said? You still have to go to the ancient tomb next."
"No, I remember."
Huo Ling nodded blankly, then Wan Jiaoyang continued, "Then you are not allowed to go anywhere during this period. Focus on your cultivation."
Although spiritual energy is scarce now, Wan Jiaoyang set up a spirit-gathering array in the room and let Huo Ling sit inside to feel the spiritual energy.
In the past, whether Huo Ling was drawing formations or using fire-based spells, the results were less than satisfactory because he couldn't sense the surrounding spiritual energy.
In this battle against Huo Xiaolong, Huo Ling controlled the fireball, which was able to remain lit for a long time and slowly grow larger, thanks to the support of the surrounding spiritual energy.
Ah Li quietly followed beside him, and Wan Jiaoyang looked at her and said, "You'll be with him then."
"I want to stay with him."
Ah Li was somewhat puzzled by Wan Jiaoyang's arrangements, but when she looked at Huo Ling, she found that he seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming cultivation.
Huo Ling said to Ah Li, still a little embarrassed, "Ah Li, I'll have to trouble you to keep me company from now on."
He showed none of the fierce and furious demeanor he had displayed earlier when he was locked in a confrontation with Huo Xiaolong.
Ahri said, "Then good luck."
"good."
Huo Ling clenched his fist, thinking that he needed to work hard so that Wan Jiaoyang wouldn't look down on him, and then he could be bold enough to be with Ah Li.
The fact that we don't mention that illusion doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Sometimes when Huo Ling is sleeping, he dreams of Ah Li under him.
In his dreams, Ahri is willing and will call his name tenderly.
Sometimes when Huo Ling wakes up and finds out it was just a dream, he always feels a sense of loss.
Next, Huo Ling began his secluded cultivation.
Wan Jiaoyang said from the side, "The path of cultivation has always been lonely and dull."
