Chapter Seven Provocation(1/2)
"Jing bell? What happened?" Lingling looked at the direction of the bell and asked curiously.
Liu Xia shook his head and said: "I don't know. Lingling, I am a disciple of the master. When the bell rings, I have to gather at Lingyun Hall, otherwise others will gossip about me."
Lingling pouted and said pitifully: "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you. You must take me fishing tomorrow. I'll eat vegetables every day. I'll lose weight after eating them."
Liu Xia glanced at her disapprovingly, and his eyes happened to fall on her newly developed small breasts.
"You're thinner there? Why didn't I see it?"
Lingling didn't know it and shouted: "It's obvious that I have lost weight."
Suddenly she raised her head and saw Liu Xia's leering eyes. The little girl blushed and stamped her foot: "Uncle pervert. I'm ignoring you." After saying that, she ran away as if running away.
"Be careful, don't fall."
"Dang...dang...dang!"
At this moment, another rapid sound of bells came, and Liu Xia's face changed immediately.
If the bell rings twice in a row, something must have happened.
Liu Xia didn't have time to think too much and hurried back to the house.
He stretched out his hand to control Tianquan, pretending to resist up to his shoulders.
He turned around and hurriedly ran towards the main hall.
As soon as we arrived at the square, we saw the disciples of the Yun Sect pouring in from all directions, and the deacons and elders also gathered towards the place with confused expressions on their faces.
Mixed in the crowd, Liu Xia just stepped into the hall.
Swish
The huge hall became extremely quiet for an instant. Hundreds of pairs of eyes fell on Liu Xia, and everyone was stunned.
"What are our head disciples doing? Are they unable to cultivate spiritually and switch to martial arts?"
"Grandstanding and embarrassing!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, everyone, you don't know, our disciples are preparing to go down the mountain to kill pigs."
"Ha ha ha ha……."
There was a burst of laughter all around.
Liu Xia has become accustomed to this kind of cynicism.
He sneered, ignored everyone, walked straight to the position of the disciple, and threw Tian Quan to the ground.
"Boom"
The heavy Tianquan instantly smashed the floor on the ground, and spider web-like cracks extended in all directions.
The hall suddenly became quiet again.
"Dang...dang...dang."
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, the third round of alarm bells suddenly rang.
The main hall that had just calmed down suddenly became noisy and noisy, like a vegetable market.
Liu Xia was also a little surprised. With three rounds of alarm bells, could there be a strong enemy invasion?
At this moment, many elders, deacons and disciples of the elders hurriedly entered the hall, and there were more and more people.
Liu Xia grew up in Jian Yunzong and knew everything about Jian Yunzong.
Jian Yun Sect is located under Wangjian Feng in the northwest of Dragon Soul Continent. It has been more than 300 years since its founding and it is said to be quite famous in the northwest area.
Within the sect, the headmaster is the most noble, and the rest are the elders.
Elders are generally appointed by direct disciples of the Yun Sect.
There are currently seventy-six members in the Board of Elders.
Some of the elders hold real power, such as the Elders of Chuan Gong, the Elders of Discipline, etc. Most of the elders have just a false name. Some elders even wander around all year round, and Liu Xia has never seen them at all.
Elders who hold real power usually have three to five deacons under their names. These deacons are usually the direct disciples of the elders, and they work together to share the chores for the elders.
As for the disciples of Jian Yun Sect, they are divided into four levels.
The first level is to teach the disciples.
There are usually two disciples of the headmaster. They are the direct disciples of the headmaster. They are basically the future successors of the Jian Yun Sect and are on an equal footing with the elders.
Of course, Liu Xia is a special case. Counting Tian Yuan, Yuan Tianfei, and Ling Yun, there were a total of three disciples during the tenure of the master.
The second level is direct disciples.
Each elder can select three to five from among the many entry-level disciples as his direct disciples, who can later fill the position of elder.
The third level is the entry-level disciples.
Introductory disciples are the best ones selected from among the registered disciples, and can learn and practice from many elders.
The fourth class is named disciples.
There are tens of thousands of registered disciples of Jian Yun Sect. Generally, you only need to pay a certain amount of offerings to become a registered disciple of Jian Yun Sect.
These people do not usually practice in the Jian Yun Sect. Some are rich and only want the prestige of the Jian Yun Sect, some do it to keep fit, and some are tenants of the Jian Yun Sect.
Every year on the tenth day of March, the Jianyun Sect holds a discipleship ceremony. After the ceremony, those who want to enter the Jianyun Sect can pass the assessment and become entry-level disciples.
The most valuable thing in Dragon Soul Continent is not gold and silver, nor the various scarce materials, but the skills.
Most of these skills are controlled by sects or families. If you want to become a strong person and be lucky enough to enter a sect, it is probably the dream of every child in Dragon Soul Continent.
Of course, Jian Yun Sect can only be said to be quite famous in the northwest area. Compared with Cihang Yin Sect, Luoyue Tingyuxuan and Tongtian Temple, which are famous in Dragon Soul, they pale into insignificance.
These three sects are the backbone of Dragon Soul Continent. Almost all the famous and powerful people in Dragon Soul Continent have practiced there. Rumor has it that they even control the change of imperial power.
Seeing that Yun Zong is also a big man, it is nothing new to see people coming to seek revenge or provocation.
However, it is very rare to ring the bell three times in a row today.
Liu Xia had only encountered this situation once, and that time he had a grudge against the Tianwu Sect. The Tianwu Sect mobilized all of them to besiege the Jian Yun Sect, and ended up with the Tianwu Sect exterminating the sect.
All told, this has not happened for eight years.
"What is it for this time?"
As soon as Liu Xia thought of this, he heard someone shouting outside: "The master is here."
In an instant, the bustling hall fell silent.
Yuan Tianfei wore a dark black coat and entered the hall as if there was no one else around.
Elder Tianyuan followed behind him, but he, who was always kind, looked sad today.
Seeing this, Liu Xia couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. It seemed like something big had happened.
Yuan Tianfei walked straight to the headmaster's throne. When he passed by Liu Xia, he glanced out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the power of heaven, he still looked up at him in shock.
However, when he saw that Liu Xia still had no spiritual power, a contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Xia naturally saw all this.
"See Headmaster."
When many elders saw Yuan Tianfei sitting down, they all saluted.
Yuan Tianfei looked around and said in a deep voice: "Bring it up."
At this time, Liu Xia saw Liu Tianshou and several other deacons carrying three stretchers into the main hall.
Along the way, bright red blood flowed from the stretcher to the ground, leaving a shocking blood stain on the clean hall.
The people on the stretcher had their heads covered with white cloth, and they were obviously dead. The white cloth covering them was mottled, and it looked like their death was very miserable.
At this moment, there was deathly silence in the hall.
"Everyone, half an hour ago, these three corpses were found by the stream at the foot of the mountain. Elder Discipline, go check their wounds!"
As soon as Yuan Tianfei finished speaking, a thin old man flashed out, cupped his fists and saluted: "As ordered."
The Discipline Elder walked to the corpse, slowly opened the white cloth, and squatted down to look at it one by one.
About a quarter of an hour later, the Discipline Elder stood up, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Headmaster, one of these three disciples has a broken rib cage, the other has his limbs broken, and there are obvious bruises on his neck.
It should have been done by a martial artist. Although the other disciple had no physical injuries, judging from my many years of experience, his heart should have been shattered by a master. It seemed like it was caused by the Heart-Destroying Palm."
The words of the Discipline Elder were like a bowl of ice water poured into boiling oil, causing the entire hall to explode in an instant.
The Heart-Destroying Palm is a secret that Guixin Villa has not told. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Guixin Villa has always been at odds with Jian Yun Sect.
"Headmaster, my subordinates think that we should immediately summon the elders who are traveling abroad and the disciples who are in seclusion."
"My subordinates also think so. The enemy is obviously well prepared this time, and it doesn't look like a temporary conflict."
"cough!"
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.
Yuan Tianfei stood up and said to Elder Tianyuan: "Brother, what do you think?"
