Chapter five hundred and sixty-six, I do have a suitable candidate
At night.
In the courtyard where Gu Tianlao of the Qingling Sword Sect was located, Huang Helou and other leaders of the four major sword sects gathered in the same room.
Several soundproof arrays have been set up inside and outside the courtyard, and they are also covered with soul consciousness at the level of the Heavenly Soul Realm. No disturbance can escape the ears and eyes.
"My proposal just now...if you have any opinions, feel free to tell me?"
Gu Tianlao told the other four leaders about the last wish of Xia Feihong, the second-in-command of the Flowing Light Sword Sect before Lu Feng was brought back, and also informed him of his intention to support unification.
Huang Helou and the other four leaders looked at each other in confusion. They didn't speak for a while, and they all had complicated expressions.
"We will discuss the matter of unifying the Five Meridians and reviving the Flowing Light Sword Sect later," Huang Helou was silent for a long time and was the first to respond.
"The top priority right now is to deal with the sword fighting competition. Do we really want the Dongting Sword Sect to win two championships in a row so easily? If we don't stop it, how can our five sects lose face?"
Xia Yangzhou, the leader of the Blazing Sun Sword Sect, listened to Huang Helou's words, with a hint of anger and anger on his skinny face. Although he was the thinnest among the five, he had the hottest temper.
"Why do you lose face? Don't you all understand in your hearts?" Xia Yangzhou's angry expression revealed a deep reluctance, and he said angrily: "If it weren't for us old bones who couldn't let go of our past prejudices, we wouldn't want to join the sect.
In the circle of influence, the cultivation resources that have been missed for so many years have been wasted. How come the younger disciples in the sect are suppressed like this."
Tian Jishu from the Heart-Taking Sword Sect and Bi Kongjing from the Life-Destroying Sword Sect have always been quiet and reticent, and they only let out a helpless sigh.
They neither support nor oppose whether the five sects will unify and whether the Flowing Light Sword Sect will reappear. Everything is just a matter of chance.
Not long after the split, there was a reunion meeting among the five factions.
Their opinions are still the same as then.
I am not opposed to the unification of the five sects, but if I want to restore the Liuguang Sword Sect of the past, I cannot find someone who can convince them all.
Huang Helou sighed deeply and said with emotion: "We are all brothers from the same sect. How can we still not let go of our grudges after twenty years? When the sect leader was threatened and made wrong decisions, it was only human nature. Besides, then,
At that time, the elders in the sect also agreed with the sect leader's decision and had already prepared for the worst."
"Now that the five sects have declined, the main reason is that they are leaderless!"
"It's not that we don't want to be unified, it's just that who will lead it if unified?"
"Am I coming? Or is Lao Xia coming? No matter who comes, the old guys in the door won't be convinced, right?"
Huang Helou's vicissitudes of life face was full of helplessness.
Among the elders of the five existing sects, he and Xia Yangzhou are the strongest. However, due to their limited strength, they have not opened up a big gap and cannot bring enough convincing power.
Gu Tianlao hesitated for a moment and then said, "I do have a suitable candidate."
Everyone looked at it together.
"Are you referring to Xia Yatou?" Huang Helou's face was deep and hesitant. Finally, he shook his head and sighed, "Although Xia Yatou is the deceased of the sect leader, her talent is outstanding among her peers, but her physique determines her
It will be difficult to practice swordsmanship in this life..."
"Is it possible to let a formation master lead our five major sword sects?"
"Not to mention the face issue, how many forces will believe it if it is spread?"
Gu Tianlao waved his hand and smiled: "Wasn't this proposal overturned by you many years ago? What I want to say is that another person, maybe... will have the answer at this sword fighting conference."
Gu Tianlao did not directly mention Lu Feng's name. Although he could feel that the latter's strength was extraordinary, he had never tested it and did not dare to be completely sure.
Xia Yangzhou was suddenly overjoyed and said excitedly: "You old guy, have you suddenly enlightened? In terms of the talent of the younger generation, I, Pai Zhuo Shixin, can indeed be ranked first. To be honest, he has quietly broken through to the earth soul.
In the middle stage of the realm, within a few years, with that kid's talent, he will definitely be able to break through to the Heavenly Soul Realm. If he is chosen to be the new sect leader after the five sects are unified, we will support him together and help him grow. I fully agree!
"
Gu Tianlao ruthlessly interrupted Xia Yangzhou's joy and said bluntly: "I'm not referring to him."
Xia Yangzhou's smile suddenly faded and he said dissatisfiedly: "Apart from me, Zhuo Shixin, who else can reverse the current situation? Could it be that you want to recommend that boy Chen Duxiao?"
"He? He's still far away," Gu Tianlao smiled meaningfully, "When the sword fight is over, there may be an answer. Today, I just want everyone to be mentally prepared in advance."
The figure of Lu Feng suddenly appeared in Huang Helou's mind. Although he had only seen Lu Feng fight once or twice and could not tell his specific strength, the appearance of Fairy Huan Yin made him vaguely feel that this child was somewhat extraordinary.
"Are you referring to the foreign aid named Lu Feng that you sent here?"
Huang Helou's suspicious eyes fell on Gu Tianlao and reminded: "Even if that kid has something extraordinary, he is still an outsider!"
Xia Yangzhou said disdainfully: "How can a boy in the Five Elements Realm be so special no matter how extraordinary he is? Can he still be on par with those in the late Earth Soul Realm?"
"Furthermore, his relationship with Phantom Sound Valley is unclear. Such a person will never be worthy of such a big responsibility."
Gu Tianlao waved his sleeves and cursed angrily: "Why are you old guys so pedantic!"
"Do we really want the Sword Sect to be destroyed by our generation?"
"Why is a mere identity important?" Gu Tianlao made a random excuse: "I have sent so many young female disciples. Isn't it easy for him to throw away his status as an 'outsider'?"
Tian Jishu, the leader of the Juixin Sword Sect, thought for a while and suddenly spoke: "Lao Gu has been in chaos for half his life, but what he said this time does not make sense. My most beloved disciple died unexpectedly not long ago.
It is reported that it was this little friend named Lu Feng who helped him avenge himself. For this reason, our faction will not treat him as an outsider."
After all, Huang Helou still resisted, "After all, this guy's origin is unknown. Let's discuss this matter later. Instead of choosing him, I would rather support the guy from the Blazing Sun Sword Sect."
A smile appeared on Xia Yangzhou's skinny face, "Old Huang's vision is good this time!"
Huang Helou said again: "Let's wait until the sword fighting conference is over to discuss everything!"
He was still not satisfied with Zhuo Shixin. If he really had no choice but to choose, it would be difficult to lead the sect in a longer-term direction.
…
The next day.
The single-player battle of the Sword Fighting Conference is here as scheduled.
Five disciples from the Chiyang Sword Sect who were participating in the battle lined up on the battlefield, and they were met by five members from the Dongting Sword Sect.
Although Cai Yunjian was still injured, he attended and came to the stage in accordance with the regulations.
The expressions of the two foreign players Wan Chongshan and Guan Changxun were very similar, and there was a bit of casual boredom in their disdainful eyes.
However, the five people from the Blazing Sun Sword Sect were all ready to fight, their eyes burning with burning fighting spirit.
Zhuo Shixin in the middle stage of the Earth Soul Realm, Chi Yuanqing in the early stage of the Earth Soul Realm, and three disciples in the Five Elements and Five Qi Realm.
In previous years, with the lineup of the Blazing Sun Sword Sect, they were fully qualified to take first place.
In this competition, they also deliberately gave up the double battle and focused on the single battle. They thought that the first place in the single battle was already guaranteed, but who could have expected that the Dongting Sword Sect would invite such a powerful person?
of foreign aid.
On the stage, Gu Tianlao announced the detailed rules of the single-player battle. Five participating disciples from the two factions would appear on the stage in order. The loser would step down until all five disciples from one side were defeated...
When he announced the rules, there was already a lot of discussion on the court.
"Will the Blazing Sun Sword Sect be defeated by Wan Chongshan?"
"I think it's possible that Wan Chongshan's strength is simply not something that the Blazing Sun Sword Sect can compete with."
"I just hope that Zhuo Shixin can bring about a miracle. He is the only hope now."
Most of the people in the guest seats looked a bit worried. It was difficult for them to show excitement when they had a high probability of guessing that they would lose the match.
After Gu Tianlao announced the rules, only one person from the Dongting Sword Sect, Wan Chongshan, was left, while the other four returned to the rest area without looking back. It seemed that they had no intention of going on stage.
Zhuo Shixin moved, but was stopped by Chi Yuanqing.
"Senior brother, it's a matter of honor for the five sects. Follow the leader's instructions."
Although Zhuoshi News said it was unwilling to use such a small trick, it had no choice but to comply with the overall situation.
Since it is a wheel battle, he obviously has an advantage by being the last one to fight, allowing other disciples to consume the opponent first.
In the end, the Blazing Sun Sword Sect left behind a disciple of the Five Elements and Five Qi Realm.
Wan Chongshan obviously saw the other party's intention, and the smile on his lips became a little more contemptuous, and he shouted: "Is your sect humiliating itself by letting such powerful disciples go into battle?"
The disciple of the Five Elements Realm had a straight face and shouted loudly: "I'm Yan Yibai, please give me some advice!"
In order to prevent Wan Chongshan from having more opportunities to humiliate others, he took the lead in attacking with his sword.
"You're not worthy yet!" Wan Chongshan smiled disdainfully. The long sword in his hand was not unsheathed. He used only one move to knock Yan Yibai off the stage with his absolute strength. The attack was so vicious that the latter's arm was broken on the spot.
.
Yan Yibai reluctantly left the field. Although he was mentally prepared, he never expected that the gap between them would be so big.
Looking at their fellow disciples who had a broken arm, Chi Yuanqing and others all had extremely angry faces on their faces.
Gu Tianlao maintained order and went to Wanchongshan as usual to ask if he needed a break for a stick of incense.
Wan Chongshan responded arrogantly, "It's just a waste, it doesn't cost much."
The competition continues.
The second disciple of the Blazing Sun Sword Sect came on stage and attacked Wanchong Mountain without saying a word.
Three moves.
He only lasted three moves and fell to Wan Chongshan's sword.
The arm was also broken.
The third person persisted in five moves, but was also defeated.
Likewise, his arm was seriously injured.
Although the three disciples were only injured in their arms, the injuries were extremely serious and it would take at least half a year to recover. Improper treatment could even leave hidden dangers.
Chi Yuanqing's face was gloomy, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"He is trying to destroy the foundation of our practice!"
