Chapter 151 Linglan, News from the Demon Blood Cult
On the way back to the Demon Blood Cult, Wu Rao was walking leisurely when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He stopped, slowly turned around, and his eyes fell on the girl who was looking around curiously, like a smart little rabbit.
The girl was wearing a light blue long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding scenery. Her eyes, as bright as stars, were rolling around at this moment, revealing an air of innocence.
Wu Rao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "Ling Lan, should it be called this name? Well, this name suits you very well."
Hearing Wu Rao's words, Ling Lan was stunned at first, and then a bright smile bloomed on her face, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.
She nodded slightly and responded softly: "Thank you, examiner! My father once told me that I was given this name because of my eyes." As she spoke, she raised her jade hand and gently pointed her slender fingers at her clear eyes.
Seeing this, Hong Huang, who was standing aside, also stepped forward and introduced himself: "My name is Diwo. We will be teammates fighting side by side in the future. I hope you will take good care of me, young lady." As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to be a calm middle-aged man, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Ling Lan turned her gaze to Hong Huang, looked him up and down, and giggled, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Di, you look very good too. Not only do you look young and handsome, but you also have an extraordinary temperament." When she mentioned the word "young", she deliberately emphasized her tone and blinked at Hong Huang, still with that innocent and playful smile on her face.
Hong Huang was startled and instantly understood the deep meaning of Ling Lan's words. However, at this moment, he didn't know why the girl emphasized the word "young" to him, so he could only laugh dryly, nodded to Ling Lan, then turned around and continued to move forward, no longer paying attention to this quirky girl.
Seeing that Hong Huang had no intention of talking anymore, Ling Lan shut up and continued to look around at the scenery, but in fact she was thinking about the first meeting between the three of them just now.
Ling Lan and Hong Huang are exactly the same, both are secret undercover agents lurking in the Demon Blood Cult.
As early as her childhood, Linglan had heard many things about the demons. As she grew older and accumulated more knowledge, she further delved into the long history of the Demon Blood Cult.
This series of experiences made her involuntarily closely link the two, and she developed a strong curiosity and suspicion about the truth hidden therein.
In order to uncover the mystery and find out the truth, Linglan resolutely made the same decision as Hong Huang - to plunge into this undercover operation full of danger and unknowns.
The reason why Linglan was able to get involved in matters related to the Demon Blood Cult at a young age has profound background reasons behind it.
It turned out that she came from a prestigious family in the Central Region. This family was powerful and possessed inexhaustible resources.
It is precisely because of such unique conditions that Ling Lan has the opportunity to obtain confidential information about the demons that ordinary people cannot know, including all the inside information about the Demon Blood Cult.
As for why the family allowed Linglan to go to the distant southern region alone, the reasons are actually quite complicated.
First of all, Linglan's status in the family is very important. She is even very likely to become the next generation successor to the patriarch. Given this important identity, the family will certainly not easily stop her from taking action.
Secondly, although Linglan seems to be going alone on the surface, in fact the family has already sent many masters to hide in the dark to protect her safety at all times. The extremely intelligent Linglan is well aware of all these arrangements.
According to legend, the first patriarch of the Linglan family was gifted with a pair of unparalleled divine pupils. Whenever he practiced his skills, his eyes would shine with dazzling golden light, as if he could see through all the cause and effect cycles in the world.
Not only that, these magical eyes are his powerful weapon to defeat the enemy. Wherever his gaze touches, whether it is lush vegetation or hard rocks, it will instantly turn into wasteland and all life will be destroyed.
It was also because of this that the first-generation clan leader, relying on the power of his unique divine eyes, successfully fought his way out of the siege among many extremely powerful masters, and eventually reached the pinnacle of martial arts, becoming a super powerful man famous in the area, and founded a famous family in the vast land of the Central Region.
However, it is regrettable that although he has many descendants, no one can fully inherit the full power of his divine eyes.
In desperation, the first patriarch had to establish an unwritten rule: the younger generation in the clan with abilities closest to his would inherit the family business and lead the entire clan.
This rule has been passed down from generation to generation, and has continued to this day despite the vicissitudes of time. Ling Lan is undoubtedly the most talented person among all the descendants who is closest to the style of the first generation patriarch.
Afterwards, Wu Rao, Hong Huang and Ling Lan finally arrived at their destination after a long journey - a seemingly ordinary tavern.
After Wu Rao whispered a few words with the shop owner, he led Hong Huang and Ling Lan into the deep basement hidden under the tavern.
As soon as they entered the basement, Wu Rao said solemnly, "Due to your current low level, you are not yet qualified to directly enter the location of our bishop. Fortunately, there are not many restrictions on entering branch sects. Next, let me explain to you in detail the strict and complex hierarchy within our Demon Blood Sect."
With Wu Rao's patient and detailed explanation, Hong Huang and Ling Lan finally figured out what the hierarchical system followed by the mysterious Demon Blood Cult was all about.
It turns out that the Demon Blood Cult is divided into five different levels, from high to low: bishop level, elder level, core member level, member level and newcomer level.
Wu Rao, who was answering their questions at the moment, was at the member level. As for Hong Huang and Ling Lan, they were temporarily classified as the most basic rookie level.
As for the conditions for promotion, they are also very simple and clear. That is, promotion is achieved by completing the tasks assigned by the church. The church will issue tasks of corresponding levels to members including core members and below at the same time every week. The more tasks you complete, the faster you can be promoted in the church.
The remaining elder and leader levels are determined by strength. The strongest is naturally the leader level. Those who fail to be successfully promoted to the leader level will continue to stay at the elder level.
