In the early morning, a wisp of mist enveloped the entire mountain peak. Under the golden morning light, the mist covering the mountain top was stained with a coat of seven colors.
At the foot of the mountain leading from the outer courtyard of Lishuijian Sect to the inner courtyard, Yu He and three other elders of the outer courtyard, leading a dozen outer courtyard disciples, were climbing to the top of the mountain in the thick fog.
Along the way, Yu He solemnly warned this group of elite disciples in the outer courtyard that the inner courtyard of Jianzong is no better than the outer courtyard. Not only is the average strength of the disciples extremely high, but the rules are also much stricter than those in the outer courtyard. No matter how arrogant they are in the outer courtyard, entering the inner courtyard
Finally, you must keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and never conflict with the inner court disciples.
Regarding these words of admonition, Yu He and other four elders will give these words to the new disciples who enter the inner courtyard every year. Although they always perform their duties and Chun Chun exhorts, no one of the disciples who enter the inner courtyard every year
Following his teachings, almost all of them were beaten to death, and only after receiving bloody lessons did they restrain themselves.
Seeing that many of the disciples entering the inner courtyard this year were still disdainful of this advice like everyone in the past, Yu He couldn't help but shook his head.
Once you have not entered the inner courtyard, you will not know the fierce and cruel competition in the inner courtyard. Yu He can foresee that in the near future, at least half of the dozen or so outstanding people in the outer courtyard will be sick or even bedridden for a year.
Half a year.
Thinking of the tragic future of other students, Yu He couldn't help but think of Ye Feng's extremely bright future, which made him jealous. Although until now, he still doesn't know the content of the letter Hai Wuya took out at that time, but he knows that in
With Hai Wuya's support, Ye Feng's decision to enter the Li Shui Sword Tomb to practice has been confirmed.
Looking at Ye Feng, who was following behind everyone without saying a word, Yu He's eyes were full of undisguised jealousy and envy. He knew in his heart that as long as he climbed to the top of the mountain, Ye Feng would be picked up by someone.
From then on, when everyone meets again, even Longman will have a big gap with him.
After nearly an hour of climbing, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the dense mist gradually dissipated under the impact of the morning light.
On the flat open space, three men wearing elders' attire stood with their hands clasped behind their backs, exuding an overbearing aura.
Seeing Yu He and others, the eyes of the three elders flashed with gleams at the same time.
One of the elders, who was tall and burly and looked like he was no more than fifty years old, appeared in front of Yu and others in a flash.
"Who is Ye Feng?" the elder asked in a low voice.
Seeing this elder coming with a bad look on his face, many disciples from the outer courtyard were stunned for a moment.
"I am!" Ye Feng took a big step and came to the front of the crowd.
Facing Ye Feng, who had a straight chest and exuded an awe-inspiring and non-intrusive aura, the elder's eyes lit up. However, this hint of approval was replaced by a stern look in an instant. He stopped talking, and the sleeves of his robe were light.
With a slight shake, he struck Ye Feng with a palm.
The seemingly light palm actually contained extremely mysterious sword skills. Facing this sudden palm, Ye Feng had an illusion in his heart. No matter whether he used the electric light step or not, he could not avoid it in any direction.
Seeing the palm shadow in the void getting closer and closer to him, with no way to avoid it, Ye Feng's heart suddenly trembled. He gritted his teeth suddenly, pulled out the murderous sword from behind, and stabbed the opponent's palm.
In the void, three sword flowers covered nearly one cubic meter of space. At this moment, it was no longer that Ye Feng could not avoid this palm, but that no matter which direction the palm fell, it was bound to collide with the long sword in Ye Feng's hand.
.
Realizing that Ye Feng's sword skills were strange, the elder couldn't help but let out a surprised sigh. His attacking palm did not flinch, but instead moved forward again and directly met the long sword in Ye Feng's hand.
A "Clang" sound sounded like the clash of gold and iron, and the elder's palm collided with the long sword stabbed by Ye Feng. In this collision, there was no blood flowing as expected, but instead a strange scene of the sword breaking.
The sound fell, and the long sword in Ye Feng's hand was broken into half. And the broken sword tip was attached to the palm of the elder, spinning rapidly, making a sizzling sound.
"Not bad, not bad." The elder who attacked Ye Feng suddenly laughed.
He casually touched the tip of the sword adsorbed in his palm, and the half-severed sword, which was enough to penetrate the boulder, immediately turned into a ball of iron filings under the pressure.
"Ye Feng, come with me. The sect wants to see you!" the elder said loudly.
Having said this, he no longer gave Ye Feng a chance to ask questions, turned around and walked away.
Behind that elder, the other two elders glanced at Ye Feng meaningfully. Seeing Ye Feng staring blankly at the broken sword in his hand, they both laughed at the same time.
"What, do you think it's embarrassing to have someone's sword broken? To tell you the truth, the person who just broke the sword in your hand was Elder Chen Ling from the inner courtyard. This is the first time in so many years that I have seen someone break Chen Ling's sword.
Ling was forced to the point where he had to break his long sword to neutralize the opponent's moves." The elder standing on the left with a scar the size of a copper coin on his face said.
"Perfection Sword Chen Ling? The person who attacked Ye Feng just now was Perfect Sword Chen Ling!" After hearing the elder's explanation, everyone present was stunned except for Yu He and other people who knew Chen Ling.
Perfect Sword Chen Ling is the third-ranked master among the elders of the Li Shui Sword Sect. In addition to his own strength, he is also proficient in a sword skill that is specialized in removing the opponent's weapons - Perfect Sword Technique.
It is said that everyone who fights with Chen Ling will have his sword removed with skill. So far, few people can force him to the point where he has to break his opponent's weapon.
At this moment, not only Lin Huaiyu and Lu Fei, but also Lang Wen looked at Ye Feng with surprise.
They could see that Chen Ling was testing Ye Feng just now. However, even if it was just a test, it was enough to surprise them.
No one understands Chen Ling's status in the Lishui Sword Sect better than Lang Wen. Looking at the entire Sword Sect, apart from Hai Wuya and Li Yuanhang, the strongest person is Chen Ling.
It is absolutely a supreme honor to allow Chen Ling to test. Even in the inner courtyard, there will never be more than three people with this qualification. However, Ye Feng, a new disciple, with so much virtue and ability, has just entered the mountain.
, which attracted Chen Ling's attention.
Jealousy, envy and other emotions took turns to arise in the hearts of this group of outer courtyard disciples. When they heard that not only Chen Ling valued Ye Feng, but also Hai Wuya wanted to summon Ye Feng, this group of people felt like the world was spinning.
Hai Wuya is the current sect leader of the Lishui Sword Sect and one of the top ten powerful men in the Yin Shang Kingdom. Many disciples who have been in the inner courtyard for several years have yet to see his face.
But now, Ye Feng has just stepped into the inner courtyard. Not only did he meet Chen Ling, he also received an appointment from Hai Wuya. With such treatment, how could he not make everyone jealous.
Ye Feng followed Chen Ling and the others towards the Presbyterian Hall. When he, Chen Ling and others disappeared at the corner of the square, many newly promoted outer courtyard disciples recovered from the shock.
Langwen looked at Yu He, who was still looking straight at Ye Feng's disappearing direction, and asked in a low voice: "Great Elder, who is this Ye Feng, and why was he treated like this as soon as he entered the inner courtyard?"
Hearing Lang Wen's somewhat sour question, Yu He snorted coldly.
He looked back at Lu Fei and Lin Huaiyu, who also had longing expressions on their faces, and said sourly: "I don't know Ye Feng's background, but I know that the sect master has taken a fancy to him. This time, even if he is not
If the sect master accepts him as a disciple, he will also receive special care, and his future future will definitely be far beyond that of ordinary people."
Yu He's affirmative reply stunned everyone in Langwen. Lin Huaiyu, who was originally very hostile to Ye Feng and wanted to get rid of him, was so shocked when he heard Yu He's words that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
good.
He is a young marquis, with a distinguished background and awe-inspiring people. However, compared with the disciples of masters like Hai Wuya, his title is not worth mentioning. Not to mention that he is a hereditary marquis, even if he is a prince or minister, in
In front of a super master like Hai Wuya, he will become worthless.
Everyone looked at each other, and all they saw in each other's eyes was shock and confusion. After about half a stick of incense, everyone woke up to Yu He's shouts, and even then, everyone's expressions remained unchanged.
Shocked look.
Under the leadership of Yu He, everyone in Longwen was taken to the four-sided courtyard in the inner courtyard specially prepared for new students.
Seeing that the courtyard was only a few hundred square meters in size and the houses were only three rooms, everyone in Langwen had a look of astonishment on their faces.
Even in the outer courtyard, their living environment is more comfortable than here. They don't understand why they are treated like this in the inner courtyard where the conditions are dozens of times better than those in the outer courtyard.
"Great Elder, did you take us to the wrong place?" Lin Huaiyu frowned and said slightly dissatisfied.
After hearing Lin Huaiyu's question, Yu He and the other three elders looked at each other and smiled slyly.
The elder supervisor glanced at the simple and dilapidated building, and said with a sly smile: "That's right. This is the first place where the promoted disciples of all generations settled after entering the inner courtyard. Half a month! You only need to live here for half a month.
, after this period of time, someone will naturally arrange a place for you."
"You want to live in this ghost place for half a month?" Lin Huaiyu kicked the broken barrel in front of him and complained dissatisfiedly.
Beside him, Lu Fei, holding a long sword, walked into the middle room without saying a word and sat down on the dusty bed.
Among the group of people, the most calm and composed one was undoubtedly Longwen. He looked askance at the four elders with strange faces, his eyes flashing with gleams.
Longwen knew very well that the elders of Jianzong were by no means the kind of people who just had nothing to do. The reason why they made such an arrangement must have a hidden meaning that is difficult for ordinary people to fathom.
