Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 865 - 635_2

Even Ouyang Xiao, the leading figure of the Outer Palace, looked at Lin Feng with envy.

Being apprenticed to an Elder at the Martial Emperor Realm is something every disciple dreams of, but such a thing is extraordinarily distant for them, as distant as being without any hope at all.

The Elders, who are usually high above, would not spare them a glance.

Yet now, these normally lofty Elders, in order to take Feng Su as a disciple, are surprisingly shameless, disregarding their status!

The crowd was speechless, and everyone couldn’t help but feel a trace of loneliness in their hearts.

The things they can’t even pray for, Lin Feng can choose at will!

This is the gap!

Comparison really can kill with anger!

On the battle platform.

Lin Feng looked over all the Elders, and seeing the eager expressions on their faces, he couldn’t make up his mind.

After a while, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and thought, "Who cares! Just randomly choose one and be done with it!"

Anyway, his goal was just to ’blend’ into the Inner Palace, not really to take a master; it didn’t matter who he chose.

Then, Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at one of the Elders, and opened his mouth to speak.

At this moment, a gray-robed figure appeared in the sky, an elderly man with a thin build.

The gray-robed elder stood with his hands behind his back, walking leisurely on air.

Lin Feng turned and looked at the gray-robed elder, and when he saw the person’s face clearly, he was suddenly shocked, a roar going off in his mind.

This approaching gray-robed elder was none other than the Thirteenth Elder, who had previously visited Lin Yang City with Shangguan Hao.

Seeing this man, Lin Feng was greatly alarmed; if he was recognized, not only would all his plans be in vain, but his life might also be lost here.

Even if the other party didn’t kill him, they might inform Shangguan Hao about his presence!

Lin Feng’s mind raced, and in an instant, dozens of thoughts flashed through it.

Then, Lin Feng immediately suppressed his chaotic thoughts; under no circumstances could he lose composure now, as the other party might not recognize him after all.

In this, Lin Feng felt somewhat confident.

Firstly, when the Thirteenth Elder went to Lin Yang City, Lin Feng was just a fifteen-year-old boy, but now he’s grown into a young man nearing twenty.

With age, his height, physique, and voice have completely changed.

Secondly, due to cultivating the Great Chaotic Five Elements Divine Technique and the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, Lin Feng’s aura was entirely different from four years ago.

Moreover, Lin Feng has now altered his appearance; even though it was a slight change in facial outline and muscles, such simple alterations are the hardest to detect.

Unlike disguise techniques and advanced illusion techniques, which are powerful but hard to escape from the eyes of a Martial Emperor expert, this simplest method of changing facial muscles is the hardest to notice.

So, with several aspects combined, Lin Feng felt he had a good chance of not being recognized by the other party.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the Thirteenth Elder arrived, with his thin figure landing on the battle platform.

"Greetings, Thirteenth Elder!"

The dozen or more Elders on the battle platform saw the Thirteenth Elder’s arrival and saluted him successively.

Thirteenth Elder, as the name implies, is ranked thirteenth among the Elders of the Emperor Xuan Palace; such a high ranking is just below the top ten Elder Kings, and naturally, his status within the Emperor Xuan Palace cannot be compared to that of these ordinary Elders.

"Mm!"

The Thirteenth Elder nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Feng, smiling: "I have also seen your battles, and at such a young age, you possess such strength; your talent is indeed exceptional!"

"The Elder overpraises!" Lin Feng lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty, not daring to meet the other’s gaze.

"Talent is a gift from the heavens, no need to be modest!"

The Thirteenth Elder shook his head slightly and, after a brief pause, said: "Seeing your talent, I too have the intention of taking a disciple. Feng Su, would you be willing to take me as your Master?"

Although the Thirteenth Elder was asking, he believed that Lin Feng would not refuse, nor dare to refuse.

Lin Feng listened, and internally lamented, thinking, "Whatever you fear comes true!"

He would rather apprentice under the lowest-ranked Elder of the Emperor Xuan Palace than acknowledge this Thirteenth Elder as his Master; this was truly running into the line of fire.

Nonetheless, Lin Feng was also a bit relieved, since the other party wanted to take him as a disciple so kindly, it meant the other hadn’t recognized him.

This was a good thing, allowing him some slight peace of mind.

The other dozen Elders, seeing this, were all silent. Since the Thirteenth Elder had taken a liking to Feng Su, they naturally dared not compete with him, only sighing reluctantly as they gave up.

All the disciples below were immensely envious of Lin Feng, even to the point of jealousy.

The Thirteenth Elder, a Martial Emperor Realm Sixth Layer Peak expert, actually wanted to take Feng Su as a disciple, which made them envious to the extreme.

But little did they know, Lin Feng had no desire to take the Thirteenth Elder as his Master.

"Hmm?"

The Thirteenth Elder’s expression darkened slightly at Lin Feng’s silence.

Could it be he’s unwilling?

The Thirteenth Elder’s brow furrowed; as a Martial Emperor Realm Sixth Layer Peak expert, the Thirteenth Elder of the Emperor Xuan Palace has countless young hopefuls wanting to be his disciples, with no opportunity to do so.

It could be said that with just a word from him, young talents willing to acknowledge him as a master could line up from the Emperor Xuan Palace to the North Sea Coast.

But now, he had personally spoken to take Feng Su as a disciple, and the boy was unwilling?

Lin Feng saw the Thirteenth Elder’s expression, and a pang of foreboding sounded in his heart; refusal seemed impossible today.

If he dared to refuse, even if nothing happened, other people might not take him as a disciple.

Furthermore, offending the Thirteenth Elder might make future steps in the Emperor Xuan Palace impossible, not to mention getting into the Inner Palace.

"Elder, please don’t be angry. This disciple is just too excited, overwhelmed for a moment to respond!" Lin Feng clasped his fists and said.

Lin Feng felt helpless but realized he could only take the other as his Master—a short while in the Emperor Xuan Palace wouldn’t be so bad, as long as he could blend into the Inner Palace to meet Xi’er!

The Thirteenth Elder heard this and his expression softened slightly, not giving it much thought. A True Xuan Realm Martial Artist being taken as his disciple, overwhelmed by joy was understandable.

"Master, above, please accept three bowings from this disciple!"

Immediately, Lin Feng proceeded to perform the apprentice ceremony to the Thirteenth Elder.

"Good! Hahaha!"

The Thirteenth Elder began to laugh heartily, stroking his short beard with satisfaction.

"Feng Su, from today on, you will be my second direct disciple!" the Thirteenth Elder said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded heavily, internally thinking this old fellow had another disciple.

After a brief pause, the Thirteenth Elder said, "Feng Su, from now on you don’t need to stay in the Outer Palace; follow me to the Inner Palace for further cultivation!"

"I will follow my Master’s directions!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s heart leapt for joy, hurriedly clasping his hands in salutation, as this was the moment he had been waiting for.

Finally, he could enter the Inner Palace; Lin Feng became quite excited, feeling as if Xi’er was right before his eyes, and he would soon meet her.

After more than four years, he genuinely missed Xi’er and wondered how the shy little girl had changed. Had she grown prettier?

"Hehe! Entering the Inner Palace is the desire of countless disciples; you need not be overly excited. I will diligently teach you in the future!"

The Thirteenth Elder saw Lin Feng’s excited demeanor and didn’t overthink it, assuming Lin Feng was just thrilled about entering the Inner Palace for cultivation.

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Feng thanked the Thirteenth Elder.

"Mm!"

The Thirteenth Elder nodded slightly, "Let’s go then!"

With a wave of his sleeve, the Thirteenth Elder sent a wave of air that swept Lin Feng to his side.

Then, the Thirteenth Elder lifted his foot and ascended into the air with Lin Feng.

The mountain gate of the Emperor Xuan Palace is composed of several dozen peaks; however, the Inner Palace is not located atop these peaks.

The Thirteenth Elder traveled through the air with Lin Feng, disregarding the no-fly arrays of the Emperor Xuan Palace, and in a breath, they arrived at the central peak.

There, Lin Feng witnessed the Thirteenth Elder forming an incomparably complex handprint, pressing it forcefully into the void.

Instantly, the void, like a calm water surface, was stirred, slowly parting to reveal a portal three zhang wide.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was suddenly enlightened, realizing that the Inner Palace of the Emperor Xuan Palace was established within a Plane Space.
