The originally dead mountain peak seemed to come alive at this moment. Even the silent air on the mountain peak began to boil.
Countless Shenxiao Sect disciples cheered and applauded.
First it was the outer sect disciples, and then a large number of inner sect disciples also flew out from the inner sect's restrictions. One by one, they were suspended in the void, with smiles on their faces, and joined in the cheers.
More and more disciples appear...
Then, vast streams of immortal energy spread out in the void. Above the sky, one of the "Void Immortals" from the inner sect also appeared in the void. Even the ninth-level Dao Fruit and the tenth-level Holy King also appeared in the sky.
Appeared.
Lin Xi even spotted Li Fending and Kong Jingshi in the crowd.
All the crowd joined in the cheers.
"Lin Xi!"
"Lin Xi!"
"Lin Xi!"
"Lin Xi!"
…………
Shenxiao Mountain roared with joy, and the same voice echoed in the sky, on the ground, and in the entire space.
"Senior Brother Lin, welcome back!"
"Senior Brother Lin, well done!"
"Senior Brother Lin! You are our hero!"
…
Voices came from all directions.
The expected Changchu Lao group did not appear, nor did the expected punishment. No matter what decision the senior leaders of the Shenxiao Sect would make in the end.
At this moment, all the disciples of Shenxiao Sect were expressing their respect and support for Lin Xi with their actions.
For the first time in history, the entire Shenxiao Sect welcomed an ordinary disciple in the same way as a hero! Even many Void Immortals and Holy Kings joined in!!
In her own way, Lin Xi won the respect and admiration of these Shenxiao Sect disciples!
Looking at the sharp eyes in all directions, Lin Xi felt uncomfortable for a moment, and then slowly calmed down, feeling a little moved and a little warm in her heart.
Seeing the affirmative looks behind these cheers, Lin Xi suddenly understood what they wanted to say.
No matter what the sect decided in the end, at this moment, Lin Xi felt that all the efforts were worth it.
"Lin Xi."
A familiar voice came into my ears. Along with the sound of wind, a clear rainbow crossed the space and appeared in front of Lin Xi.
"Sister Qinglian! Yaoxue!"
Lin Xi looked at the familiar figures in front of her and blurted out.
"Lin Xi, your trip to the northern ice field this time caused quite a stir! I've heard about it all in the sect!"
Shangguan Yaoxue's eyes were bright, she shook her head, her little face flushed with excitement, as if it was her own honor:
"As soon as my senior sister and I heard that you were back, we hurried over to greet you. - By the way, where is that guy Motu? Pour it out quickly."
Whoosh!
There was a flash of light, and the hell demon dragon swung out of Lin Xi's sleeve.
"Beautiful little mistress, Motu is here."
The Hell Demon Dragon drooled and lay on the ground with a flattering look on his face.
"Wow, you mangy dragon went to the northern ice field, and you are so powerful!"
Shangguan Yaoxue looked surprised and took the Hell Demon Dragon directly into her hand:
"Hurry up and tell me everything about your time in the northern ice field, whether it's about your master or not..."
Saint Qinglian looked at Yao Xue who was ravaging Motu crazily, shook her head, withdrew her gaze, looked at Lin Xi, smiled at the corner of her mouth, like a lotus blooming quietly in the water, and whispered:
"Lin Xi, you just came back, so you may not know yet. What happened to you at the Gate of Storms has caused a stir in the sect. Contrary to usual, this time, all the disciples of the sect are on your side.
I heard that even some senior brothers and sisters from the Void Immortal, Dao Fruit level, and even Saint King level in our sect often go to Mr. Chang Cun to inquire about your situation. Many senior brothers even said they would go to the north to help you.
I will take you back. This matter was stopped by Elder Chang, so I had to stop it. - Lin Xi, you really did the right thing this time. Even if others don’t say it, at least Yaoxue and I are on our side.
On your side."
"Thank you, senior sister."
A warm current surged through Lin Xi's heart. He was alone at the Gate of Storms and didn't know what was going on in Shenxiao Mountain. At this moment, when he heard Saint Lotus mention it, he realized that many Void Immortals, Dao Fruits, and even Holy Kings had tried
Going to the Storm Gate, I couldn't help but feel secretly moved:
"Actually, I just did a little bit of what I should do."
"Haha, this is not just a little thing that should be done. You have done things that many people want to do but dare not do or cannot do, and you have even done it better than us!"
Saint Qinglian smiled and said:
"Junior brother, even I have to admire you this time! From now on, your reputation in the sect is probably not as good as that of many true disciples. This is also a good thing. If nothing else, at least Long Bingyan no longer dares to be so blatant.
I've dealt with you!"
"Actually..., I have already met Long Bingyan at the Gate of Storm this time."
Lin Xi's eyes flashed and she said.
"ah!!"
Saint Qinglian's body trembled, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.
"Let's talk about these things back indoors later. It's not a good place to talk."
Lin Xi looked around and said.
Saint Qinglian nodded, with a smile on her face, indicating that she understood.
"Let's go!"
Lin Xi jumped up, and just as she flew not far away, a figure roared towards her.
"Um?"
Lin Xi blinked: "He is a disciple of the Dharma Protector Hall."
Saint Qinglian and Shangguan Yaoxue also noticed, and they all looked at this disciple of the Dharma Protector Hall.
"Lin Xi, Chang Nao has an order, telling you not to talk nonsense!"
The disciple of the Dharma Protector Hall looked away, but his words were addressed to Lin Xi. As soon as his voice fell, he immediately passed Lin Xi, and the time he stayed before and after was so short that it made people mistakenly think that it was just from now on.
If you pass by the same person and don't pay careful attention, you won't even notice that this person has been there.
This was because Lin Xi's return to the mountain was too loud. Even the disciples of the Dharma Protector Hall did not dare to offend the public at this time.
"Old Chang? Humph! Is it Li Zhongdao?..."
Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she sneered in her heart:
"The senior leaders of the sect have not made a decision yet. At this time, are they afraid that I will incite other disciples?"
"The matter involves the other three sects. It seems that the sect is also afraid that you will deliberately encourage our disciples at this time, thus deepening the conflict with the three sects."
Saint Qinglian was thoughtful, with a worried look on her face. She could hear clearly what she just said.
"Sister, you are wrong."
Lin Xi shook her head and said calmly:
"Look at the senior brothers, senior sisters, and junior brothers around you. Am I really the one who instigated them? People's hearts are where they are. I can't instigate anyone. All I do is wake them up."
Saint Qinglian was stunned for a moment, glanced at the sea of cheering people, lowered her head, and was thoughtful in her heart.
"A sect that only knows how to show weakness and doesn't even protect its members will collapse sooner or later. Li Zhongdao doesn't want me to say it here, so I just want to say a few words."
A bright light flashed across Lin Xi's eyes, and then she stopped.
His eyes slowly swept across the empty land, and Lin Xi felt a myriad of emotions in his heart. When he was at the Storm Gate, he saw many disciples who turned a blind eye and were extremely indifferent. At that time, he was extremely angry and had many emotions.
He was like a lonely fighter, fighting against the three sects alone for the sake of the two Shenxiao Sect disciples.
But when everyone finally stood by his side, even willing to live and die together, Lin Xi knew that he was wrong.
He is not fighting alone, there are thousands of people around him. They are at the Storm Gate and also on this God's Night Mountain.
They are not indifferent, they just need to awaken the sleeping memories in their hearts.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xi faced the peaks of Shenxiao Mountain and bowed deeply.
Everyone was looking at Lin Xi. Seeing his action, the cheers immediately became smaller and they all looked at him silently.
"Dear fellow disciples and fellow apprentices!"
Lin Xi's voice was like thunder, resounding between heaven and earth: "I have a few words to say."
He stretched out his arm, waved his hand, and gave a slight signal.
In an instant, the world became quiet. Unknowingly, everyone became quiet. Thousands of eyes looked from all directions and focused on Lin Xi.
These Shenxiao Sect disciples expressed their respect for Lin Xi in this way, and at the same time looked forward to his first words when he returned to the sect and faced everyone.
"Today, I am very touched. It is not because of the treatment I received when I returned to the sect, but because I feel the same thoughts in your eyes."
With one sentence, everyone immediately showed a look of concentration.
"Every senior brother started out as a junior disciple. Every true disciple started out as an outer disciple. In the past, many of us had the same experience. We were all taught by people from other sects.
They have been oppressed and robbed by people from their sects, and some even died directly at the hands of disciples from other sects..."
In an instant, the atmosphere became a lot heavier, and the light in everyone's eyes couldn't help but dim. Even some "virtual immortals" fell silent and showed listening expressions.
"Is our Shenxiao Sect worse than other sects? Not bad! Doesn't our Shenxiao Sect have any masters? Yes! Does our Shenxiao Sect have fewer unique skills than other sects? Quite a few! But why do we have to compete with other sects?
In the conflicts between the two countries, if you repeatedly tolerate and give in, can you gain peace by being patient and giving in?"
Lin Xi said in a deep voice, his eyes slowly sweeping over a disciple of the famous God Xiao Sect.
Everyone was silent, showing their deep thoughts.
"The education we received in the past was to give in, give in, and give in again. But if giving in is effective early on, and if giving in can win the respect of others, then what happened at the Storm Gate today?"
Lin Xi took a deep breath, and the loud voice slowly sounded in the world, deafening:
"Respect is earned by oneself, not by charity from others!!"
"I hope that one day, when the Storm Gate thing happens again, the person who came to the rescue will never be treated like this again when he returns to the sect. Everyone will treat it as a normal thing.
At that time, our Shenxiao Sect can truly win the respect of others!"
…
Lin Xi bowed deeply and ended his speech.
The world was quiet, and many people seemed to have not yet reacted to Lin Xi's words. Then I don't know who it was, the first one applauded, then the second, the third, the fourth... and more and more
, in the end even Saint Qinglian applauded.
"Junior brother, I have only heard people describe what happened at Storm Gate, and I have never seen it myself. But at this moment, I really admire you."
A strange color flashed in the eyes of Saint Qinglian, and she said sincerely.
"Lin Xi, what you said is really good."
Although Shangguan Yaoxue didn't quite understand what Lin Xigang said, she saw everyone's reaction and knew that what he said was good, so she couldn't help but praise it.
"Okay, what needs to be said has been said. Let's go back!"
Lin Xi said calmly. The excitement around him was clearly different from the silence in his heart.
call
As the wind blew, a vast celestial spirit fell in front of Lin Xi.
"What a good 'respect is earned by oneself, not given by others!' Junior Brother Lin Xi, if you need anything in the future, just come to me directly."
A virtual immortal landed in front of Lin Xi, with admiration in his eyes. He flicked his finger, leaving a talisman behind, and then floated away.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then put the talisman away.
Then a large number of Shenxiao Sect disciples came from all directions. There were also Xuxians, Daoguo experts, and even Holy Kings. Lin Xi received a large number of talismans, invitations, and goodwill.
Lin Xi greeted these one by one.
"Senior Brother Lin!"
There was a sound, and three or four Shenxiao Sect disciples rushed over like a torrent.
"It's you!"
Lin Xi's eyes flashed and she quickly recognized these people.
These thirty or forty Shenxiao Sect disciples were the same Shenxiao Sect disciples who fought with Lin Xi at the Gate of Storms. However, these people came back much earlier than Lin Xi.
"Senior Brother Lin, you are finally back!"
"I miss us so much!"
"We almost thought you wouldn't come back!"
"Nonsense! I firmly believe that Senior Brother Lin Xi will definitely come out!"
…………
Seeing Lin Xi, everyone looked excited.
"Ha ha."
Lin Xi also laughed: "It'll be good if everyone comes back. Let's go! Go to where I live!"
These Shenxiao Sect disciples experienced the "Storm Gate" together with Lin Xi. Even though they knew that they were no match for the disciples of the three sects and might die, these people were still willing to stand up, fight side by side with Lin Xi, and live together.
Die together!
In one sentence, “If we have shared the common experience of adversity, we are brothers of life and death”!
For Lin Xi, seeing these senior brothers again naturally gave her an extra sense of intimacy!
From the outer gate to the inner gate, Lin Xi walked for a long time in a short distance before crossing the inner gate's forbidden brilliance and disappearing into the forbidden brilliance of the inner gate...
…
"Respect must be earned by oneself, not by charity from others!"
On Shenxiao Mountain, high in the sky where all Shenxiao Sect disciples could not see, a white-haired old man named Crane-haired Tonghe stood in the sky, silently watching Lin Xi and his party until Lin Xi and others disappeared.
The inner door is restricted.
It is hard to imagine that right here, not long ago, many elders were discussing the need to punish Lin Xi. However, after Lin Xi made that "speech", all the controversies suddenly disappeared.
.
"Now, do you have any other opinions?"
The white-haired old man in the middle.
An old man was silent and his eyes were deep in thought.
"Very good, it seems that everyone has made a decision on Lin Xi's punishment."
The old man smiled slightly, then turned around and disappeared into the void.
