Lin Yue glanced over, released his daughter, and smiled, "Go play, little Ning."
After Xiahong Ning had gone off to have a snowball fight with her brother Xiahong Chen, Lin Yue finally took the letter and began to read it.
"Oh? A letter from the Ancient Hall Master?" he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"The Ancient Hall Master?" Baili Fengzhi was also sowhat surprised.
All the Hall Masters of the Ancestor Hall were Saint-level warriors, among whom the Ancient Hall Master was an exceedingly heaven-defying Saint-level warrior. It was said that his path to Harmonization was exceptionally stable, and he even had hopes of Proving, which made his status extraordinary.
However, the Ancient Hall Master was also just a nominal disciple of the Main Hall Master, which is why he still had to address Lin Yue as "brother".
"So it's about this matter."
Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "I had forgotten that this year is the Ancestor Hall's Inner Hall exam."
"Inner Hall exam?" Baili Fengzhi was also slightly startled.
She then rembered that the last Inner Hall exam was already a matter from ten years ago.
The Ancestor Hall held an Outer Hall exam every year, but the Inner Hall exam was once every ten years.
Ten years ago, she and His Highness had only just arrived at Di Hong City for a year. Both of them started from the Outer Hall exam and fought their way up to the Inner Hall exam, with their remarkable performance making history in the Ancestor Hall.
In a decade, she and His Highness had grown to be invincible among the Great Cultivators.
"Your Highness, although the Inner Hall exam only happens once every ten years, does it really warrant the Ancient Hall Master's attention? To the extent that he wrote you a letter specifically for this?" Baili Fengzhi asked in confusion.
"This year is different,"
Lin Yue said, "You might not be aware, but this year, for so unknown reason, many young martial arts geniuses have suddenly appeared in Di Hong City. Almost all are Martial Cultivators with sowhat peculiar backgrounds, seemingly here for the Ancestor Hall's Inner Hall exam."
"Genius Martial Cultivators with mysterious backgrounds?" Baili Fengzhi asked with puzzlent, "Where are they from?"
"That's precisely why it's strange—we don't know," Lin Yue said. "The Ancestor Hall also finds the origins of these geniuses peculiar, suspecting a relation to the Demon Clan, so the Ancient Hall Master has requested to preside over this year's Inner Hall exam."
As the chief among the Hall Masters, the Ancient Hall Master oversaw all the affairs of the Ancestor Hall, as the Main Hall Master was reclusive and rarely seen, only consulted for major matters.
But since the Ancient Hall Master was also his junior, he didn't hold a higher position and couldn't directly assign tasks, so he could only present a letter to extend an invitation.
Over the years, Lin Yue had rooted out more Demon Clan infiltrators than the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt had found in a hundred years. Faced with such matters, the Ancient Hall Master naturally thought of him.
"It seems that the Ancient Hall Master has also heard of your title as the bane of the Demon Clan,"
Baili Fengzhi nodded slightly and then added, "But why would this matter be connected to the Demon Clan?"
Lin Yue casually explained, "A group of genius Martial Cultivators with unclear origins that can't be figured out in Great Yong could possibly co from the Eternal Night. It has long been rumored that the Demon Clan has been keeping a number of the Human Clan in captivity in the Eternal Night—perhaps they're also infiltrators?"
In fact, he had killed quite a few such infiltrators over the years.
"Will Your Highness be going?" Baili Fengzhi inquired.
"I will, it'll be a good opportunity to see the Master."
Lin Yue nodded lightly and said, "But, before that, I need to venture into the Temple of Thousand Gods. I've had so breakthroughs recently, and my current strength should be sufficient to obtain the first-class reward."
"It's said that the rewards from the Temple of Thousand Gods are the greatest opportunities before a Prince's Sealing King ceremony. I wonder what Your Highness will obtain?" Baili Fengzhi said with so anticipation.
"That's unclear,"
Lin Yue said, "After the Inner Hall exam, I'll be traveling the Human World. I hope to co across sothing good."
"Will Your Highness be going alone?" Baili Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.
"I'm safest alone."
Lin Yue shook his head slightly and said, "Concealnt of one's presence in the inner world is comparable to that of a Saint-level warrior. If I take you with , it would be too easy for the Demon Clan to discover us. You stay safe in Di Hong City. Once the preparations from the Blood Sea Saint Mother are ready, and you achieve Harmonization and beco a Saint, you'll be able to help ."
