Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four: All Faction Competition
The ten inner gate halls are located in the center of the Sword Sect.
There are pavilions, majestic palaces, and exquisite buildings, all of which are home to inner disciples and inner deacons.
Not only is the environment elegant, it is also covered by a large spirit gathering array.
Therefore, the aura there is far greater than the outside.
Although it's not as scary as the Ice Pond, it's still a pretty good place to practice.
The outer gate is located in front of the Sword Sect.
The aura is only slightly higher than the places outside, which is better than nothing.
It occupies a vast area, but it is the residence of more than 10,000 outer sect disciples and outer sect deacons. It is much simpler.
At this time, on the mountain behind the outer gate, an arrogant young man was sitting cross-legged in meditation, facing the sun, his handsome and free and easy face looked very peaceful.
The young man is Xiao Yi.
Three days have passed since the last enlightenment in the Forest of Steles.
The Forest of Martial Arts Steles is located at the inner gate.
After he left, he returned to the outer door area.
As early as when they passed the second round of assessment, those three hundred people were already formal disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect.
The third round of assessment only determines whether you can enter the inner gate.
However, there were only 280 people who originally came to the outer gate area, but now there are 281 people.
There is more Xiao Yi.
For the past three days, he has been practicing alone on the back mountain.
Although the residence of the outer disciples is not as elegant as the elegant buildings of the inner disciples, it is not bad.
It's just that he prefers the quiet place in the back mountain.
Suddenly, four figures suddenly came towards him quickly and finally stopped in front of him.
It was Lin Jin and the other four.
"Xiao Yi." Lin Jin and others looked at Xiao Yi's arrogant figure, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"If you don't practice well in the inner sect, what are you doing in the outer sect area?"
In the end, it was Xiao Yi who opened the conversation first, stood up calmly, and asked with a smile.
"We..." Lin Jin wanted to say something.
But Xiao Yi found that their faces were pale and they didn't seem to be in good spirits. He frowned and interrupted, "What's going on? Are you injured?"
"Gu Changkong is making things difficult for you?" Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Three days ago, he knew that Gu Changkong was not a kind person, and he had a sharp tongue and a ruthless mind.
And he is the center of the incident and a thorn in Gu Changfeng's side.
If he doesn't end the matter immediately, Gu Changkong will find more ways to make things difficult for Lin Jin and the others.
Therefore, he did not make any excuses, put down Gu Changfeng's things, and left without hesitation.
The purpose was to block Gu Changkong's mouth and to prevent Gu Changkong from having more excuses to deal with Lin Jin and the others.
He knew very well that Gu Changkong was only the chief of the sword hall, and even if he had certain power, he could not influence other inner halls.
As long as he was in the Forest of Martial Arts Steles, Gu Changkong had no chance or excuse to deal with Lin Jin and the others.
Once Lin Jin and the others successfully entered the inner gate, Gu Changkong would no longer be able to make things difficult for them.
Xiao Yi has always been thoughtful and intelligent, and has his own plans for everything he does.
At this time, Lin Jin shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just that we went to find Gu Changkong and have a fight."
"But in the end, as you saw, there was nothing you could do to get him."
"Idiot." Xiao Yi scolded, "Then Gu Changkong, according to my estimation, is at least at the seventh level of Dongxuan. How can you be his opponent?"
After saying that, Xiao Yi took out four life elixirs, gave them to the four of them, and said, "An Xin is practicing in the inner sect. I will handle my matters myself."
"Sorry." Lin Jin said suddenly.
"Sorry for what?" Xiao Yi scolded with a smile.
Xiao Yi knew Lin Jin's strong character very well, and this was the first time he saw Lin Jin's expression.
Lin Jin said seriously, "Xiao Yi, you say that we are fools. But you know very well that we are not fools. We naturally know why you left without hesitation three days ago."
Liu Yanran looked directly at Xiao Yi and said, "I know your temper very well. If you don't take care of us, you will never leave easily."
Xiao Yi waved his hand and chuckled, "It has nothing to do with you, don't think too much about it."
"No." Liu Yanran suddenly walked up to Xiao Yi and said softly, "Xiao Yi, I finally know why you didn't tell us what your martial spirit was during the first assessment."
"You have always had extraordinary strength and extraordinary swordsmanship, but we never imagined that your martial spirit was actually a fire-controlling beast."
"I don't mean to look down on you, but you already have low martial arts qualifications, and now you can't enjoy the sufficient training resources of the inner sect. This will undoubtedly make things worse for you."
Liu Yanran said, her eyes full of guilt.
But the next second, her eyes immediately burst out with strong murderous intent.
"The Sky Splitting Sword Sect will hold a competition every five years to select the chief disciple of the entire sect."
"The chief of the whole sect is superior to the chiefs of the ten inner sects. He must defeat all the disciples of the inner and outer sects to be qualified."
"As far as I know, Gu Changkong is nothing special. Among the ten inner sects, his strength is only ranked third."
"Counting the days, the full-faction competition every five years will be held exactly two years from now."
"Two years later, I will remove Gu Changkong from the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect."
She almost said the word "removal" through gritted teeth.
Liu Yanran has always been a gentle woman with stunning appearance and quiet temperament.
His conversation is gentle, like fluttering catkins, which makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze and feel comfortable.
For her to be so murderous means that she is extremely angry and puts Xiao Yi in a very high position in her heart.
At this time, Lin Jin also said seriously, "Now, I have entered the Sword Hall; Tieniu and Qin Feiyang have entered the Beast Hall, and Yanran has entered the Wanmu Hall."
"In the competition between the whole sect in two years' time, with Xiao Yi's strength, even if you don't get first place, you just need to shine."
"The four of us will definitely allow you to return to the inner gate."
"Uh." Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Actually, for me, it's the same wherever I practice."
"I will resolve the matter with Gu Changkong myself. However, I have more important things to deal with, so I will ignore him for the time being."
"What's more important?" Lin Jin looked confused.
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about me, just practice in the inner sect with peace of mind."
"Okay." Lin Jin agreed, "Actually, I came here today just to tell you."
"The cultivation of the inner sect is very strict. Next time, we will have to break through the Cave Mystic Realm before we can come out to find you, which will take at least a few months."
"It's okay." Xiao Yi shrugged.
"Xiao Yi, if someone bullies you while we are away, write them down. When I come out, I will teach them one by one for you."
It was Qin Feiyang who spoke, and he never said anything.
He usually likes to be cool and pushy, but he is very loyal. Today, he didn't know what to say. He only said those words when he was about to leave.
"Okay." Although Xiao Yi felt that no one could bully him, he still nodded.
Within a few breaths, the four of them left in an instant. They must have cultivated hard in the inner sect and should not waste time casually.
Xiao Yi also sat down cross-legged to practice again.
He didn't lie before. For him, it is indeed the same wherever he practices.
His original purpose of coming to the Sky Splitting Sword Sect was not to enter the inner gate at all, but just to relax for a while.
From beginning to end, what he lacked most was time.
No one knows how terrifying his talent is. And no one knows that it only took him half a year to jump from the first level of the mortal realm to the ninth level of the innate realm.
It would be best to have the support of cultivation resources from the inner sect; if not, it would not be a big problem.
As for the so-called big event in his mouth, it is naturally a trip back to the Xiao family in a year.
Of course, he will never forget his grudge with Gu Changkong.
"Heh." Xiao Yi suddenly opened his eyes and smiled coldly.
