Chapter 93 Barbarians in the Wasteland Ghosts and Gods
Not long after Elder Hua Ruoxi left, messenger symbols flew all over the mountain.
Soon, the deacons and elders from each peak appeared one after another, summoning the young disciples to gather in the main hall of the mountain gate!
Cao Xiu and others followed the orders and followed behind the deacon of Lingxiu Peak, flying towards the mountain gate.
As for those disciples who do not yet have flying magic weapons, they can only use divine movement or other magic to run wildly on the ground.
Looking at the many disciples who were left behind, Cao Xiu secretly felt grateful.
Fortunately, he discovered the cold crystal chalcedony veins in Xiaohan Mountain by chance, which allowed him to make a fortune. Otherwise, if things had developed as usual, he would definitely be one of the people below now traveling on two legs!
In fact, among the disciples who have been in school for less than ten years, there are only a few disciples who own flying magic weapons or mounts. After all, the cheapest flying magic weapon is worth two to three hundred spirit stones.
With so many spiritual stones exchanged for elixirs and elixirs to improve one's cultivation, as long as the realm is reached, taking on two more tasks will make the money back. There is really no need to waste resources just for the sake of appearance.
After Cao Xiu, Chen Xu and others landed on the square in front of the main hall of the mountain gate, they quickly stood among the disciples of their own Lingxiu Peak.
Then they waited for more than half an hour, and all the young disciples who were still in the sect and had not gone out gathered together.
Some mountain peaks were too far away, so the elders simply used large flying magic weapons to send the disciples there, but it didn't take too long.
Gradually, more and more disciples gathered in front of the hall.
As there were more people, the noise gradually became louder.
Many disciples were greeting each other, and then asked about the reason for summoning disciples this time.
After all, in the past, when it came to the outer sect competition, the sect would not make such a big fuss. They would just let the elders of each peak give orders and select outstanding disciples layer by layer.
But now the number of disciples gathered is close to 20,000, which is almost 30% of all outer disciples.
There must be a reason for such a huge momentum!
It's a pity that the vast majority of the outer sect disciples know nothing about it. Even if a few talented and well-respected outer sect disciples know a little bit of news in advance, they don't dare to spread it randomly until the sect announces it.
Just when the disciples were filled with confusion, suddenly, a group of elders walked out of the main hall of the mountain gate.
As the elders walked out, powerful auras rose up, immediately suppressing the originally noisy sound.
The disciples gradually became quiet and bowed to the elders.
The leading elders were obviously from the inner sect, otherwise they wouldn't have had so many outer sect elders follow behind them like stars holding the moon in their arms.
Cao Xiu stood behind the crowd and took advantage of his height advantage to look up and found that he actually knew some of the elders from the inner sect.
Who is that elder who is quite conspicuous in his purple robe, if not the Qi Lingyun whom I met in Xiaohan Mountain?
But at this time, he didn't dare to come forward and reminisce about the past.
Standing in the center is an old man with a majestic face.
Although his hair is gray and there are many wrinkles on his face, no one dares to regard him as an ordinary old man. In addition to the majestic and majestic aura rising from his body, his eyes are as sharp as swords, revealing that people dare not The direct gaze was so sharp that wherever the gaze passed, a slight chill came over one's body, as if the sword energy had swept across the body!
He stood quietly on the stage, his eyes sweeping across the audience, and his majestic aura suppressed the 20,000 people in the audience into silence!
After a moment, the old man nodded to the group of outer sect elders gathered behind him: "This group of disciples looks pretty good, and many of them have extraordinary auras. You have worked hard!"
"It is our duty to serve the sect. I dare not praise you like this when the elders do it!"
Several outer elders quickly became humble, but they were obviously very happy because of this elder's approval.
"Yes, you have cultivated disciples well. These are all achievements. The sect master and the elders will see your efforts in their eyes, and you will be rewarded in the future!"
"Yes, I will definitely live up to the sect's trust!"
Many outer sect elders responded in unison.
"good!"
The old man was obviously a prominent person among the elders of the inner sect, otherwise he would not have stolen the limelight from Qi Lingyun and others.
He encouraged the outer sect elders with a few words, then stood on the high platform and turned to look at the many disciples!
"This is the deputy master of the Dou Fa Hall, Zuo Xantian!"
He looked down, and his sharp gaze made all the disciples feel their hearts tighten, as if the other party was staring at them.
"Recently, it's time for the outer sect competition again, but now the situation in the cultivation world has changed. As one of the largest sects in Yunzhou, our Daluo Sect cannot stay out of the matter, so we have to make changes!"
Zuo Xantian's expression was indifferent, but his words were shocking: "The barbarian tribes in the extreme northern wilderness have gradually changed their beliefs in the past thousand years, and now they have completely surrendered to the Netherworld.
If you just believe in ghosts and gods, that's it. There are countless methods of cultivation in the world, and we can't tolerate them.
But in order to gain strength, they attacked the south in a large scale, slaughtered creatures, sacrificed blood to the common people, and used various cruel methods to sacrifice our human race to the ghosts and gods in exchange for rewards from the ghosts and gods!
This move is against the laws of heaven and harmful to the common people. Even if it is not for the orthodoxy of our Taoist sect, but only to protect the descendants of our human race, we must not allow those believers of ghosts and gods to become increasingly rampant!"
Having said this, he paused for a moment and glanced at the reactions of the disciples in the audience.
Seeing everyone's expressions of indignation, he nodded with satisfaction: "Therefore, the sect has decided to join hands with other sects to annihilate the barbarians in the wasteland and expel the ghosts and gods of the underworld.
Therefore, the original sect competition was changed to an outing trial.
The subjects of the trial are tribes that believe in ghosts and gods!
This time, the sect has decided to relax the number of inner disciples it can recruit. It will no longer be determined by the strength of your personal cultivation, but by the merits you have made by killing the followers of ghosts and gods.
Moreover, the sect has not set a specific number for recruiting inner sect disciples. The specific number of people who can pass the trial and enter the inner sect depends on your respective achievements!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples who were surprised because the sect changed the process of the competition could no longer hold back.
Especially the words of allowing the disciples to develop freely, and finally recruiting inner disciples based on their merits, made those disciples who were not high in cultivation but quite ambitious feel ecstatic in their hearts.
Otherwise, if we were to fight in the ring with those disciples who had profound knowledge and rich experience, they would definitely not be their opponents.
But now, the sect has given all disciples a chance.
This method of judging only by merit, regardless of the level of cultivation, is more in line with the thoughts of the vast majority of disciples.
As for those disciples who were already advanced in cultivation, they were not disappointed.
Because of the normal competition, the inner sect only recruits a dozen or so people at a time, and most of them still have no chance. It is not as good as the chance of participating in the trial.
Disciples with ordinary cultivation levels all have the spirit to enter the inner sect. How can they, who are already strong and powerful, still be weaker than others?
What's more, this trial is mainly focused on young disciples. If the war escalates in the future and old disciples who have been in the outer sect for decades also participate, their advantage will no longer exist.
Therefore, these monks who are among the best among the young disciples are gearing up to achieve good results in this trial and take advantage of the opportunity of the sect to expand the number of disciples and join the inner sect. Otherwise, they may not be able to do so well in the future.
