Chapter 35 Promoted directly from an outer disciple to a second-rank disciple
"That person is... Han Dian?"
Lie Tao's expression changed and he blurted out subconsciously.
Wu Ao next to him couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"It's really him!"
Seeing that someone recognized the killer in black, Xiao Nuo stood up and stared at Lie Tao and Wu Ao.
When they met Xiao Nuo's eyes, their expressions changed again.
Lie Tao quickly explained: "We just know him and have no other relationship with him."
The two of them were also frightened by Xiao Nuo, fearing that the other party would think that they had called these killers.
"Who is Han Dian?" Luo Ning also asked curiously.
"I used to be a disciple of Juexian Palace, but later I violated the sect rules and was expelled from the sect." Lie Tao explained.
Wu Ao then added: "But later I heard that he joined the 'Ten Miles of Misty Rain Tower'."
"Shili Yanyu Tower? The most mysterious killer organization?" Luo Ning exclaimed.
Although she didn't know Han Dian, she had heard of the 'Ten Miles of Misty Rain Tower'.
Li Ran narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "The entire organization of Shili Yanyu Tower is said to be very mysterious, and their strongholds are distributed in various major areas of the Eastern Wasteland. Many nobles of the imperial dynasty have been assassinated by them."
"So, weren't those people just assassins of the 'Shili Yanyu Tower'?"
Luo Ning said.
When everyone was shocked, the eyes they looked at Xiao Nuo became more reserved.
Xiao Nuo's expression didn't change much. He already knew that these killers were brought by Zhou Yufu.
However, what a few people said is not without any value. If the transaction records of Zhou Yufu paying for her life can be obtained from the 'Shili Yanyu Tower', then her time in the Piaomiao Sect will be over.
But this idea is more difficult. Xiao Nuo has never come into contact with the killer organization "Shili Yanyulou".
Even if they knew their stronghold, it would probably be difficult to obtain evidence.
The most important thing in Shili Yanyu Tower is credibility. If a killer organization doesn't even have credibility, who would be willing to pay thousands of dollars for it?
Without saying anything else, Xiao Nuo turned and left alone.
Luo Ning quickly followed: "Wait a minute, let's go together!"
Luo Ning didn't think it was Xiao Nuo's problem at first, but he just felt that the Huagu Mountain Range was very dangerous.
It's a ferocious beast and a killer. In this kind of environment, it's natural to find someone stronger to rely on.
…
Piaomiao Sect!
Nirvana Hall!
After more than a month, Xiao Nuo returned to this relatively familiar place.
No matter what happens, time is always good medicine. One month has passed, and almost everyone in the Nirvana Hall has gotten over the sadness of "Lu Zhu's death".
At least in Xiao Nuo's view, Nirvana Palace is not as gloomy as before.
Nirvana Hall.
On the top of the seventh coffin, a bouquet of white flowers stands out.
Lou Qing, Lan Meng, Chang Qing, Guan Xiang and others did not speak.
Because everyone knows who placed the flowers.
"The acting palace master is back." Guan Xiang said.
Lan Meng nodded slightly.
"Why don't you see us?" Chang Qing asked.
"Maybe you don't want us to see you look sad!" Lan Meng replied.
Several people fell into silence.
At the same time, Xiao Nuo, who had just returned, also appeared outside the Nirvana Hall.
Xiao Nuo was a little surprised that everyone was here.
"Junior brother? When did you come back?" Guan Xiangxiang saw Xiao Nuo, his eyes lit up, and he went to greet him.
"Just a moment!"
"There has been no news for a month, and we are all worried to death. Chang Qing and I are planning to go to the Bone Mountains to look for you tomorrow!" Lan Meng also walked up with a smile. As she spoke, she patted Xiao Nuo's shoulder:
"Huh? Why do you feel that your body has become much stronger?"
"Really? I also think that my junior brother's temperament is different." Guan Xiang also looked at Xiao Nuo from the beginning.
Xiao Nuo smiled slightly and said nothing.
Then, Xiao Nuo raised his left hand, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"I picked this from the Huagu Mountains and brought it to Senior Brother Lu Zhu!"
Everyone's eyes were touched.
Although Xiao Nuo and Lu Zhu only met once, the scene before each other's death has always been buried in Xiao Nuo's heart.
Especially after learning that the seven senior brothers and sisters in the Nirvana Hall were all killed by Feng Hanyu, Xiao Nuo felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.
When he came back, Xiao Nuo also brought some of his thoughts with him.
"I'm interested!" Lan Meng said with a smile in her eyes: "Senior Brother Lu Zhu will be very happy if you know what's going on."
Xiao Nuo nodded, then walked into the main hall and placed the bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of Lu Zhu's coffin.
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo also saw another bouquet of white flowers on the coffin lid. The bouquet of white flowers was still very fresh and had obviously been put there not long ago.
At this time, Lou Qing at the door spoke.
"It's getting late, everyone should go about their own business!"
Everyone agreed and then prepared to disperse.
Then, Lou Qing thought to Guan again: "Tell Junior Brother Xiao Nuo about the examination of the inner disciples. In a few days, the examination of the inner disciples will be coming. Both of you should participate!"
"So fast?" Guan Xiang was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Xiao Nuo can defeat Lianyuan Chengqian. This test is not too difficult for him." Lan Meng said.
As she said that, she cast an approving look at Xiao Nuo.
Everyone in Nirvana Palace already knew that Xiao Nuo was the number one newcomer, and also learned from Guan Xiang that Xiao Nuo had defeated the genius Yuan Chengqian of Yuanlong Palace in public...
Therefore, Lou Qing, Lan Meng and others are very concerned about Xiao Nuo's plan and directly ask him to participate in the inner sect assessment this time.
"That makes sense!" Guan Xiang replied.
Afterwards, everyone left the main hall.
As Guan Xiang walked away, he said to Xiao Nuo: "With your strength, you can definitely become an inner disciple. I will take you to sign up early tomorrow morning!"
"You want to participate too?" Xiao Nuo asked.
"Yes! Senior Brother Lou Qing just said that."
"Aren't you already a third-grade disciple?"
"Oh, it's like this. This assessment is divided into two stages..." Guan Xiang explained to him: "The first stage is to step onto the 'Dengxiao Platform', where outer disciples and third-grade disciples participate together.
If an outer disciple successfully sets foot on the 'Dengxiaotai', he can be promoted to a third-grade inner disciple. If he fails, he can only wait until next time..."
Guan Xiang paused and said in a more solemn tone: "If the third-grade disciple also fails, he will be demoted to an outer disciple."
Xiao Nuo was a little surprised: "The third-grade inner sect disciple failed and is actually going to be demoted?"
"Yes! The competition in the Piaomiao Sect is actually very fierce. I have seen many people jumping back and forth between 'outer disciples' and 'third-grade disciples'. If I am not careful, I may be demoted to an outer disciple."
.”
Guan Xiang curled his lips and lamented that life is not easy.
Xiao Nuo smiled: "Then what is the second stage?"
Guan Xiang replied: "Stepping onto the 'Dengxiao Platform' is the first stage, and then passing through the 'Dengxiao Platform' to enter the 'Illusory Demon Tower'. This tower has seven floors, and each floor is guarded by phantom demons... and through the Phantom Demon Tower
The ten people who spend the shortest time will be promoted to second-grade disciples!"
"Direct promotion to the second level?" Xiao Nuo was a little surprised.
"Yes!" Guan Xiang affirmed: "But only the top ten can be directly promoted to the second level. The others, even if they pass the test of the Phantom Demon Tower, are still third-level disciples..."
Then, Guan Xiang patted Xiao Nuo on the shoulder.
"Junior brother, come on, I'm optimistic about you. You can leap directly from an outer disciple to a second-grade disciple."
"How difficult is it? Has anyone succeeded before?" Xiao Nuo asked casually.
"Yes! That Liang Xingchen from the Juexian Palace and Yuan Lixue from the Yuanlong Palace were directly promoted to the second level from outer disciples..."
