Lin Hai followed the middle-aged man into a spacious room.
Then, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Hai meaningfully with his eyes like lightning, with a half-smile expression on his face.
"May I have your name?"
"Senior, my name is Lin Hai."
The middle-aged man nodded slowly, then said calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the protector of the ten elders of the Chongjian Sect. My name is Chu Hongfei!"
Lin Hai quickly clasped his fists again and said respectfully to Chu Hongfei.
"Disciple, I have seen Protector Chu!"
Chu Hongfei smiled, then his face straightened and he said suddenly.
"How did you kill Miao Fengyuan!"
Lin Hai's heart suddenly jumped, but he pretended to be confused and said innocently.
"Protector Chu, I was not the one who killed Miao Feng!"
"I'm just a Two-Tribulation Loose Immortal, how can I have that kind of ability?"
Chu Hongfei heard this, but remained silent, staring at Lin Hai with a trace of amusement in his eyes.
That look full of mischief seemed to see Lin Hai's heart clearly.
Lin Hai pretended to be at a loss on his face, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart and was well prepared to deal with sudden changes.
Obviously, Chu Hongfei was testing himself.
No one can be sure whether he will eventually take action against himself.
However, after a while, Chu Hongfei suddenly smiled lightly.
"Okay, since you said it's not, then it's not!"
"Uh..." Chu Hongfei's words made Lin Hai stunned, but his inner vigilance did not diminish at all.
It’s unlikely that Chu Hongfei just gave up questioning, right?
However, Chu Hongfei quickly continued.
"Lin Hai, since you were tested by Xuetong and joined our Epee Sect, you will be one of our own from now on."
"To tell you the truth, after you enter the Heavy Sword Sect, you will also belong to the lineage of the ten elders."
"And that Miao Fengyuan is from the lineage of the three elders."
Speaking of this, Chu Hongfei's eyes flashed with a gloating sneer.
"Even if you really killed him, I won't pursue him!"
Hearing what Chu Hongfei said, Lin Hai's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart was a little shocked.
At the beginning, Dugu Qiubai once told himself that after his disappearance, there would definitely be a fight within the Epee Sect.
But Lin Hai didn't expect that the fight had reached such an extent.
Obviously, the third elder and the tenth elder are not the same group.
However, Lin Hai was not sure whether Chu Hongfei was still testing himself.
Hearing this, he still said with a hint of fear.
"Protector Chu, whether you pursue him or not, I am not the one who killed him."
"Okay!" Chu Hongfei
He waved his hand and then smiled at Lin Hai.
"Go out and wait. After the assessment, follow me back to the Heavy Sword Sect!"
"Yes!" Lin Hai agreed and withdrew.
Then, a solemn expression gradually appeared on his face.
Although there was no hostility in Chu Hongfei's words, he even directly explained to Lin Hai that he was one of his own.
But Lin Hai clearly felt that the battle within the Heavy Sword Sect might have reached a fever pitch.
"A lineage of ten elders?"
Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't understand what the ten elders were like, nor what the third elder was like.
Now that you're ready to enter the Heavy Sword Sect, you'd better go find Dugu Qiubai and ask for clarification.
Thinking of this, Lin Hai took out his mobile phone and found Dugu Qiufei's WeChat account.
Little Confused Immortal: Senior, I am ready to enter the Heavy Sword Sect. I will temporarily belong to the lineage of the ten elders. How are the ten elders and are they reliable? How about the three elders? They seem to be hostile now.
Soon, Dugu Qiubai’s message came back.
Dugu Qiubai: People's hearts are separated from each other. When I was in the sect, they were very loyal. It's hard to say what the situation is now. You can judge for yourself when you get into the sect!
"Uh..." Lin Hai looked at Dugu Qiubai's reply, and suddenly his head was filled with black lines.
Damn, judge for yourself?
They are all your subordinates. You didn't even understand them after you had been with them for so long.
Now, you let me, brother, make my own judgment?
Lin Hai had a wry smile on his face and was speechless.
"No one can count on it!"
Lin Hai shook his head. Dugu Qiubai couldn't provide any useful information, so he seemed to have to rely on himself.
Zhou Xuetong was in charge of the assessment, and the progress was very fast. After a few hours, the assessment of this group had ended.
Those cultivators who had given gifts to Miao Fengbao before and passed, had their cards taken back by Zhou Xuetong and were not admitted.
As a result, only nine of all the disciples who participated in the assessment passed.
At the same time, the assessments of other groups also ended one after another.
Finally, Chu Hongfei gathered everyone together.
There are a total of ten assessment groups, and a total of 137 inner disciples have been admitted, which can be said to be one in a million.
"Everyone, congratulations on becoming the inner disciples of the Heavy Sword Sect."
Chu Hongfei put his hands behind his back and said loudly to the many excited disciples below.
"According to the sect's requirements, after you enter the Heavy Sword Sect, you will belong to the branch where your examiner is located."
"Now, I will take you back to the Heavy Sword Sect. What your future success will be depends on you!"
After speaking, Chu Hongfei waved his hand and shouted to everyone.
"Set off!"
Buzz!
The people present, all with a Mahayana or above cultivation level, flew into the clouds and mist in an instant, following Chu Hongfei excitedly as they flew towards the central area of Shun'an City.
What's more, a smoky, fairyland-like mountain below appeared in everyone's sight.
"Everyone, that's our Heavy Sword Sect!"
Chu Hongfei pointed towards the magnificent sect below and said with pride.
Then, the auspicious clouds flew down and landed in front of the mountain gate in an instant.
"What a powerful sword spirit!"
Over the mountain gate of the Heavy Sword Gate, a giant sword several feet long hangs in the air. The sword's light is as sharp as a rainbow and its momentum is as powerful as a rainbow. It makes people feel palpitated just by looking at it.
"This sword is definitely not an ordinary thing!"
Lin Hai raised his brows, stared at the hanging giant sword, and was shocked in his heart.
The Epee Sect is indeed a super sect, and they actually hang such a treasure at the door to prop up the facade.
As expected, he is rich and confident!
"I've seen Protector Chu!"
The disciples guarding the mountain gate saw Chu Hongfei approaching and hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Chu was ordered to take people down the mountain to assess the inner disciples. These are all those who passed the assessment."
Chu Hongfei pointed at the more than a hundred people behind him and introduced them to the disciples guarding the mountain gate.
The guard disciple glanced at everyone, and then nodded.
"The elder on duty has already given instructions. There will be new disciples entering the sect today. Protector Chu, please!"
As he said that, the guarding disciple stepped aside and made a gesture of letting go.
"Um!"
Chu Hongfei nodded, and then waved his hand behind him.
"Everyone come in with me!"
So, Chu Hongfei, along with Lin Hai and other new disciples, swarmed in and entered the Heavy Sword Sect.
"Okay, each group of examiners, take your people and go back to your respective branches!"
"One group, follow me!"
"Group 2, go this way!"
…
In an instant, each examiner took the disciples he had recruited and left in different directions.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin Hai and about twenty others were left.
Chu Hongfei then smiled, glanced at the twenty or so people, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Not bad, very good!”
"This time, we actually gained two groups of disciples."
"If the tenth elder knew about it, he would definitely be happy!"
After saying that, Chu Hongfei glanced at Zhou Xuetong and the other assessor and said calmly.
"You two, take them to rest first, and I'll go see the tenth elder!"
After saying that, Chu Hongfei's figure flashed and disappeared.
