Qinglong Sword Peak is straight and steep, like a long sword piercing the sky.
A monstrous sword intent is contained in the rocks and soil of Qinglong Sword Peak.
On the highest peak of Qinglong Sword Peak, there is a ‘Qinglong Sword Palace’.
Qinglong Sword Palace is the residence of Xinzong Lao Ye Shaoqing and the core of Qinglong Sword Peak.
To be honest, before yesterday, this mountain was not called Qinglong Sword Peak, and this mansion was not called Qinglong Sword Palace. As for what it was called before, it no longer matters.
In the future, as long as Ye Shaoqing is still the clan leader, the name of Qinglong Sword Peak will not change.
In the Qinglong Sword Palace, there are ten palace ministers, many imperial masters, and inner sect disciples with outstanding cultivation abilities gathered here.
They are all the wealth left by the previous clan elder.
From then on, it came under the jurisdiction of Ye Shaoqing.
There has been no owner here for several years, but today there is finally a new clan leader.
Today is the day when the new sect elder meets the Qinglong Jianfeng Palace Minister, the imperial master and the inner sect disciples. I heard that it is also the day when Ye Shaoqing accepts his disciples.
After the last sect elder passed away, Qinglong Sword Peak no longer had any direct disciples.
Li Tianming stood in the Qinglong Sword Palace, and Li Qingyu stood beside Li Tianming.
On the high seat, Ye Shaoqing was talking eloquently.
When a new sect leader succeeds to the throne, he must set rules and impose strict punishments.
Even to convince the public.
In this regard, Ye Shaoqing has done a good job. Although he is parachuted into the clan, the overall situation has been decided. There are not many people who do not obey him, at least openly.
"Does this palace minister named Yuan Huitian have any conflict with the master?"
Li Tianming looked at a tall and muscular man in black among the crowd below and asked.
"Yes, Yuan Huitian is the youngest palace minister here and the direct disciple of the previous elder. Many people here want him to succeed the elder."
"However, the master is stronger than him and a little younger."
"In the final election, Master's Three Swords defeated Yuan Huitian, which made most of the elders vote for Master."
Li Qingyu respects and even worships Ye Shaoqing.
Although she had just become a master and apprentice, Ye Shaoqing had often guided her during these years as the imperial master.
"I see."
This Yuan Huitian has been defeated by Ye Shaoqing.
Otherwise, with Yuan Huitian's identity, he would definitely be in trouble today.
After all, he almost grew up here, so he is well-liked by everyone.
"Everyone, let me tell you one last thing. Although I have just come to Qinglong Sword Peak, I will be responsible for everything here from now on."
Ye Shaoqing stood up.
"Yes, Mr. Zong!"
Yuan Huitian is quite decent. Now that the overall situation has been decided, he and nine other palace ministers worship Ye Shaoqing.
After all, he had lost his temper after being defeated by Three Swords.
With their support, the position of the patriarch of Qinglong Sword Peak has been settled.
Ye Shaoqing was very satisfied. He smiled and then waved to Li Tianming and Li Qingyu.
Next, comes the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Taking advantage of today's great joy, I will accept two more direct disciples, namely the chief disciple Li Tianming and the second disciple Li Qingyu. I would like to announce this to the entire sect."
Saying these words in public is tantamount to announcing to the entire Donghuang Sect.
From then on, Li Tianming and Li Qingyu officially became the direct disciples of Qinglong Sword Peak.
Their status is higher than that of all the disciples in the hall.
"Take out the tokens of your Qingshen Mountain disciples." Ye Shaoqing said.
"Yes, Master."
Ye Shaoqing put away the old disciple tokens, and then handed over the direct disciple tokens made from the top spiritual minerals to Li Tianming and Li Qingyu.
"It's a good thing to keep it safe. These are the first and second Qinglong Sword Peak direct disciple tokens in the world." Ye Shaoqing said with a smile.
Of course, the two of them, brother and sister, kept it safe. This thing is an identification mark, but it is a good thing.
As the young master of the Donghuang Sect, even the outer disciples would not be polite to him.
However, as a direct disciple of Qinglong Sword Peak, all inner sect disciples need to be in awe.
Only four Taiyi disciples can suppress one head.
"Elder Zong, I don't accept it! Of these two people, one is too low-level and the other is mediocre. What qualifications do they have to be direct disciples?"
In the main hall, a discordant sound suddenly sounded.
It turned out that there was a thin young man in gray standing next to Yuan Huitian.
Although this young man is thin and small, his eyes are full of sparkle, his aura is thick, and his face is strong. He is particularly eye-catching among all the disciples of Qinglong Sword Peak.
This young man in black is named Gu Yu, a disciple of Yuan Huitian. He is fifteen years old this year and has already reached the sixth level of Guiyi Realm, which is no worse than Li Xuanchen.
He originally only waited for his master to become the sect elder, and he would be his direct disciple.
His talent and strength are worthy of being his direct disciple.
It's a pity that Ye Shaoqing disturbed all this when he came.
"Gu Yu, shut up." Yuan Huitian scolded.
Gu Yu could only lower his head with hatred, but clenched his fists, clearly dissatisfied.
There were also voices in twos and threes coming from the Qinglong Sword Palace.
"It's such a pity for Guyu. He could have become his direct disciple."
"It would be great if the new sect leader is willing to accept him as his disciple. But, I guess Gu Yu will not become a disciple."
"He is a person who respects teachers and values righteousness, and he recognized Yuan Dianqing."
"Even Guyu can't become his direct disciple, so it's really hard for the new sect to convince the public that these two people have been recruited."
"That young sect leader has just emerged recently. He is the illegitimate son of Li Wudi. Yesterday, it was said that he defeated the ninth sect's elder disciple Li Xuanchen. Many people saw him on the spot and were very shocked."
"He doesn't have much to say. It is said that he has the body of reincarnation for five tribulations."
"But Li Qingyu is only at the fifth level of the Guiyi Realm. He is one year older than Gu Yu, so he is really not good at it."
"You can't say that. Many sect elders accept their descendants as direct disciples, and there are even worse ones. I don't think Gu Yu can become a direct disciple, mainly because he is unwilling to become another disciple."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
A few words, even though they were spoken very quietly, could probably be heard.
Moreover, this represents the thoughts of most disciples in Qinglong Sword Peak.
Faced with such chaos, Ye Shaoqing smiled.
He locked eyes with Gu Yu and asked, "Young man, do you think the two of them are not qualified to be direct disciples because they are not as good as you?"
Guyu glanced at Yuan Huitian. Yuan Huitian did not stop him from speaking, so he mustered up his courage and said:
"Yes, Mr. Zong."
"I have never competed, how do you know they are not as good as you?" Ye Shaoqing asked.
"So, Gu Yu begs for a competition to have a chance to prove himself." Gu Yu said loudly.
"If you defeat them, do you want to become my teacher instead of Yuan Dianqing's disciple?" Ye Shaoqing asked with a smile.
Guyu struggled for a moment, feeling that the new sect leader was giving him a chance!
His identity as a direct disciple!
However, he glanced at Yuan Huitian. Yuan Huitian had no expression, but his kindness to his teacher over the years was unforgettable!
He gritted his teeth and said:
"No, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. Even if my master is not a sect elder, he will be my master for life!"
When he said this sentence, many people were amazed.
Being grateful and not embarrassing Master is a kind of courage.
"You don't want to be my teacher, but you also want to prove that you are better than them. Isn't it pointless? If you defeat them, it will only prove that I have poor vision. What good will this do to you?" Ye Shaoqing asked with a smile.
"This..." Gu Yu couldn't answer for a while.
Facing the youngest clan elder, he was still a little nervous.
Ye Shaoqing waved his hand and said:
"Young man, don't be anxious about anything. I also admire your integrity. You are a good apprentice, which makes me envious of Yuan Dianqing."
"However, I will not give you the opportunity to provoke my disciples today. It's not that I have no confidence in them, but it's meaningless."
"But, believe me, you will have the opportunity to see things in the future. Just keep your eyes open and see clearly. When the time comes, be convinced and say sorry to them."
"Understood? Guyu."
Ye Shaoqing's words were extremely cool and unrestrained, and they didn't follow the routine at all.
People originally thought that he would let his disciples defeat Gu Yu to prove his vision.
However, he just didn't want to prove it.
"Mr. Zong, I'll wait then." Gu Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"It won't be long, the 'Taiyi Tower' will be opened soon."
"As two of my direct disciples, they will both represent Qinglong Sword Peak in the 'Taiyi Tower Battle' in five days' time."
"When the time comes, just watch."
"Gu Yu, their opponent is not you."
Ye Shaoqing's words caused a lot of noises and whispers.
Taiyi Tower fight?
Before Li Tianming came, he had never heard of it at all.
Moreover, it will be held in five days?
He looked at Ye Shaoqing doubtfully.
"Elder Zong, is the quota determined just like this?" Yuan Dianqing asked.
"Otherwise, participants in the Taiyi Pagoda competition must become their own disciples."
"Each sect elder has two quotas, and I only have two disciples. Can't I abstain?"
"Besides, Gu Yu is not willing to be my disciple and challenge the Taiyi Pagoda."
Ye Shaoqing smiled.
"All right."
Yuan Huitian really had no choice.
He suggested that Gu Yu seek another apprenticeship, but Gu Yu was stubborn. This was a matter of principle on his part.
However, he knew that compared with the whole sect, Gu Yu's talent was not that outstanding.
Even if you participate in the Taiyi Contest, you may not gain anything.
"In this case, I hope the performance of the two of them will not be too bad and they will not lose the face of Qinglong Jianfeng." Yuan Huitian said.
His words are a worry for the entire Qinglong Sword Peak.
Qinglong Sword Peak has just been established, and the elders of the other thirty-three main peaks have many direct disciples who have guided them for many years, and all of them are peerless geniuses.
Let Li Tianming and the two go fight for Qinglong Sword Peak?
It's normal not to gain anything, it doesn't matter.
I'm afraid of being embarrassed.
"Yes, Taiyi Confrontation, what kind of occasion is that?"
Low-pitched discussions, like flies, resounded in the Qinglong Sword Palace.
This also shows the truth. Ye Shaoqing has just arrived, and it will definitely take time to subdue this group of people.
Ye Shaoqing himself is impeccable, so the only weakness people can find in him is at the disciple level.
As a result, any behavior of Li Tianming and his siblings will be magnified.
If you are not careful, someone will make a big fuss out of this, making Ye Shaoqing, the patriarch of the clan, feel uncomfortable.
They may not be able to drive away Ye Shaoqing.
However, making Ye Shaoqing uncomfortable made him feel comfortable.
