Chapter 865 Joining the Holy Flame Hall

Two of the eight departments have already come out to snatch him up, and the other six departments naturally can't sit idly by either. After all, Lin Xuan has reached the top of the Eight Departments Immortal Tower. Although the Eight Departments Immortal Tower is just a projection, it can already prove Lin Xuan's terrifying talent and ability. If he is properly nurtured, becoming an Immortal Emperor is not impossible.

Lin Xuan looked at the two Immortal Emperor figures in the sky with some surprise. The gap between an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal King was indeed enormous.

The difference in aura and presence alone is enormous.

"You two arrived quite quickly, but this time, our earthquake department also wants to get involved."

A rough voice rang out, carrying a tremendous sense of oppression. It was none other than the Hall Master of Zhentang, Immortal Emperor Wanzhen!

Now, including the outer hall master of the Divine Dragon Palace, a total of four Immortal Emperors from the Eight Immortal Palaces have gathered here.

The scene was quite intriguing, as a newly appointed steward of the Eight Immortal Palaces was being fought over by several Immortal Emperors.

Everyone stared at this scene in disbelief, many with envy, wishing they were the ones playing the music.

Mu Wanrou and her group, who had been rescued by Lin Xuan, were also quite shocked as they looked at Lin Xuan on the platform.

They had sensed Lin Xuan's power and mystery from the beginning, but they never expected him to be so formidable and possess such extraordinary talent.

Mu Wanrou didn't care about anything else and immediately started sending a telepathic message to her master, asking him to come and snatch the person away.

"How about it, Lin Xuan? Our Kuntang is at least in the top three among the eight divisions. You won't be treated badly if you come to my Kuntang."

Heavenly Emperor Tiankun was the first to extend an olive branch.

Upon hearing this, the Great Qian Immortal Emperor merely gave a cold laugh.

"You're quite shameless. What top three? You're more like bottom three. Lin Xuan, come to my Qian Hall. With my Qian Hall's support, you'll have a great chance of advancing to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future. How about it? Think it over?"

"Putting aside everything else, when it comes to protecting our own, no one is more famous than Zhentang. Lin Xuan, once you join Zhentang, as long as you don't commit any heinous crime, I will take the blame for you!"

Emperor Wanzhen spoke very directly and domineeringly, with a hint of thuggishness in his manner.

Upon hearing this, both the Great Qian Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Kun Immortal Emperor glanced speechlessly at the Myriad Zhen Immortal Emperor.

At their level of cultivation, people still value their reputation highly, but Immortal Emperor Wanzhen is an absolute exception.

Wan Zhenxianhuang was born into humble circumstances and was known for his impulsive and reckless nature, often seen as a brute.

Even after cultivating to the current Immortal Emperor realm, Immortal Emperor Wan Zhen still maintains his old style, looking down on everyone and acting recklessly whenever something happens, leaving other Immortal Emperors of the same rank quite helpless.

"Hahaha, you guys actually all came! If it weren't for the other five guys going to the Evil Cave to guard against the evil spirits, all eight of you would probably have come out to snatch people away!"

Suddenly, a powerful voice rang out, and a majestic figure shimmering with golden light appeared on the platform.

Everyone was startled when they saw who it was, and almost everyone stood up.

"We greet the Lord of the Dragon Essence Palace!"

The newcomer was none other than the Fourth Palace Master of the Inner Palace of the Divine Dragon Palace, the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor. Not only was he at the Immortal Emperor level, but he had also been a Fifth Tribulation Immortal Emperor for 100,000 years. The strength of the eight tribal leaders was all below that of the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor.

"Greetings, Fourth Palace Master!"

The three leaders bowed respectfully to Emperor Longyuan. In terms of seniority, Emperor Longyuan was indeed their senior, and in terms of strength, they were indeed no match for him.

"The three of you putting on this show in front of so many disciples, and even the hall master, is simply outrageous!"

The three leaders were somewhat embarrassed by the resounding words of the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor, but what the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor said did indeed make sense.

They are, after all, the heads of the eight departments of the Eight Immortal Palaces. How could they lower themselves to invite Lin Xuan, a mere junior steward who has just entered the sect? It does seem rather beneath them.

"Young friend Lin, my Divine Dragon Palace is the core and cornerstone of the Eight Immortal Palaces. Our Divine Dragon Palace also needs to invite geniuses to join us and fill our future. Your talent is very high. Why don't you come to my Divine Dragon Palace and give it a try?"

The words of the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor stunned the three hall masters and the outer hall master of the Divine Dragon Palace. They all looked at the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor with strange eyes.

So all that you, the old master, said was just nonsense!

Lin Xuan also looked at Dragon Yuan Immortal Emperor with some curiosity.

"What? Our Eight Immortal Palaces Dragon Hall is the core of the entire palace, that much is beyond your doubt."

Thinking that Lin Xuan had some doubts, the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor immediately continued.

Lin Xuan coughed twice and cupped his hands in greeting to the Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I have already made my own choice."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Lin Xuan with incredulous eyes.

The Divine Dragon Palace is the core of their Eight Immortal Palaces, possessing the best resources and the strongest background among the eight Immortal Palaces combined. The eight Immortal Palaces combined cannot rival the Divine Dragon Palace.

However, Lin Xuan's direct rejection of the Fourth Palace Master, Dragon Origin Immortal Emperor, was truly unexpected.

Nangong Yue was getting anxious. She thought Lin Xuan wanted to stay in their Xuan Yue Hall, which was why he rejected the offer from the Divine Dragon Palace.

Nangong Yue was also afraid that Lin Xuan would miss this great opportunity, after all, countless talented disciples within the Eight Immortal Palaces were eager to join the Divine Dragon Palace.

To join the Divine Dragon Palace, the Immortal King realm is the minimum requirement. Nangong Yue once wanted to join the Divine Dragon Palace, but her talent was too far behind, and she couldn't meet the threshold.

Emperor Longyuan was also surprised that Lin Xuan would reject him so cleanly and decisively. Could it be that their Divine Dragon Palace's reputation had not yet been established?

At this moment, the three leaders had new hope. If they could snatch Lin Xuan from the Divine Dragon Palace, it would truly bring them great honor.

Which department do you want to join?

Dragon Yuan Immortal Emperor looked at Lin Xuan curiously. If he didn't join the Divine Dragon Palace, then he would be one of the Eight Tribes.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Xuan still shook his head.

"No, I don't want to join any department. I want to join the Holy Flame Hall."

Lin Xuan pointed in the direction of the Holy Flame Hall, and as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Who would have thought that Lin Xuan would reject the Divine Dragon Palace and the Eight Departments, and actually choose the Holy Flame Hall, one of the Seventy-Two Halls!

Nangong Yue and Nangong Qingyi looked at Lin Xuan with some confusion. If Lin Xuan really only wanted to stay in the hall, then he should have stayed in Xuan Yue Hall. Why would he choose Sheng Yan Hall?

Inside the Holy Flame Hall, all the deacons and disciples were both surprised and delighted that this monstrous deacon who had reached the top of the Eight Immortal Towers was actually going to join their ranks.

Looking at Lin Xuan, Li Hongyi's heart, which had calmed down, was suddenly stirred by a slight tremor. This feeling affected Li Hongyi's ruthless Dao heart.

"Who are you? I feel like I know you, but I have no memory of you..."

Li Hongyi's heart had already been stirred. Although she smiled, she left a very narrow but fatal crack in the indestructible and ruthless Dao heart.

The three leaders of the Sendai were also very puzzled by Lin Xuan's choice. Instead of the Divine Dragon Palace and the three major departments, he chose a branch, and the Holy Flame Hall was one of the nine branches under the Li Department.

Are you really sure?

Emperor Longyuan frowned, utterly puzzled by Lin Xuan's choice.

In the world of cultivation, one should prioritize one's future. Lin Xuan's actions can be considered as ruining his own future.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I want to join the Holy Flame Hall."

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, without any hesitation.

Although the Divine Dragon Palace and the Three Departments are very strong, Lin Xuan possesses a system and has many trump cards, so he naturally doesn't need to worry about resources. In particular, Lin Xuan's breakthrough speed is something that even the Divine Dragon Palace cannot provide for him.

Whether or not Lin Xuan joins the Divine Dragon Palace is not of great significance.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force you. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. But if you need anything in the future, you can come to the inner hall of the Divine Dragon Palace to find me."

Emperor Longyuan was not dissatisfied with Lin Xuan's refusal, after all, Lin Xuan had always belonged to their Eight Immortal Palaces, only he had joined another branch.

As soon as Emperor Longyuan finished speaking, he tossed a token engraved with the name of the Divine Dragon Inner Palace to Lin Xuan, and then disappeared from the spot.

Lin Xuan took the token and put it into his pocket.

The other three leaders, the leaders of the Kun and Qian branches, looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of dissatisfaction. These several Immortal Emperors had gone to great lengths to personally invite him, but Lin Fan had unexpectedly chosen a branch in the end, which made them feel somewhat embarrassed.

However, having already lowered themselves once, the two naturally couldn't bring themselves to argue with Lin Xuan again, and left the scene without saying a word.

The head of Zhentang laughed heartily a few times.

"Good lad, you've got guts. You even rejected old man Long Yuan. Not bad, not bad. Now I feel better. But I respect you. If you need anything, you can come to Zhen Department and ask me for help."

Emperor Wanzhen left behind his words and a Zhenbu token, then vanished from the spot.

Lin Xuan took the second token and put it into his pocket as well.

The elder of the outer hall of the Divine Dragon Palace finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the big shots walk away.

Several powerful Immortal Emperors came to pull him away, and he, as an outer hall elder, was caught in the middle, not daring to utter a single word.

"In that case, from now on, Steward Lin, you will be a steward of the Holy Flame Hall."

After the outer hall elder made the announcement, the final result was set.

To everyone's surprise, the final result was that Lin Xuan actually rejected the Divine Dragon Palace and the three major departments, and joined the Holy Flame Hall instead.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiong's mind began to stir again.

Lin Xuan rejected the three major departments, and the leaders of the Kun and Qian departments must be somewhat dissatisfied. Perhaps we can make an issue of this.

Li Hongyi didn't say much about Lin Xuan's joining, nor did she offer any welcome; she simply nodded to Lin Xuan.

"Now that you have joined our Holy Flame Hall, then you shall officially settle in the Holy Flame Hall in seven days."

After Li Hongyi finished speaking, she left with the people from the Holy Flame Hall.

The other seventy-one members could only manage a wry smile and a sense of helplessness as they watched Li Hongyi's actions.

If their gang had such a prodigy joining them, they would definitely welcome him with open arms, unlike Li Hongyi who treated it like "take it or leave it."

Lin Xuan knew that Li Hongyi had been influenced by the Supreme Ruthless Path, which was a normal phenomenon, so he didn't say anything. Now he should go back to Xuan Yue Hall to explain to the two sisters, Nangong Yue and Nangong Qingyi.

Xuanyue Hall.

Li Qingyue, the head of Xuan Yue Hall, sat in the main seat, while Nangong Qingyi and Nangong Yue were both below.

"Lin Xuan, you have displayed great prowess this time, bringing glory to our Xuan Yue Hall."

Li Qingyue's cheerful words made Lin Xuan feel a little uneasy.

This gave Lin Xuan a feeling of betrayal.

"Of course, I won't ask why you joined the Holy Flame Hall, because you must have your reasons. I just want to tell you that the doors of my Profound Moon Hall are definitely open for you."

Li Qingyue has always been very straightforward. Although Lin Xuan's departure from Xuan Yue Hall to join Sheng Yan Hall made Li Qingyue feel a little regretful, it was not a big deal. After all, changing halls still meant being a member of the Eight Immortal Palaces. As long as Lin Xuan did not betray the Eight Immortal Palaces or their myriad universes, it was no big deal.

"Thank you for your trust and kindness, Hall Master. I did have my own reasons for choosing to join the Holy Flame Hall this time."

Lin Xuan had no intention of hiding the truth about Li Hongyi and himself, because there was no need to hide it at all.

"Oh? May I know?"

Li Qingyue asked with a smile.

Nangong Qingyi and Nangong Yue also pricked up their ears; they were the two who most wanted to know the reason.

Li Qingyue asked the question, largely because she was asking it for her disciple.

Li Qingyue has been teaching Nangong Yue for tens of thousands of years and knows Nangong Yue's thoughts very well. Nangong Yue must have feelings for Lin Xuan.

Romantic love and such things are basically non-existent for a qualified cultivator.

However, cultivators are still evolved humans, and naturally retain human emotions and desires; it is normal for them to have feelings and love.

"Actually, it's not something to hide. I went there for Li Hongyi, the head of the Holy Flame Hall."

"You've taken a liking to her?" Li Qingyue looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of amusement.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's not that I've taken a fancy to her, because she was always my woman."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyue and the others were all stunned.

"Ahem, you can't just say things like that."

Looking at Lin Xuan's confident demeanor, Li Qingyue felt that Lin Xuan wasn't just talking nonsense.

"It's true. Li Hongyi is my confidante in the lower realm, she's my woman, but because of some things, it seems she's forgotten me, and I need to find her."

Lin Xuan remained serious.

Li Qingyue didn't know why, but she felt that what Lin Xuan said seemed to be true.
