"Ancestor Mingjian, Xu Luo has deceived many seniors before, please punish me, ancestor!"
In front of this Patriarch Qingren who acted unconventionally, Xu Luowei was really at a loss what to do. He could only honestly admit his mistake first and then talk about it. Of course, the most important thing was that he couldn't do it.
Although he had no ill intentions toward the Qihuo Alliance from beginning to end, he could still be considered as deceiving everyone in the Qihuo Alliance. Even Yan Zhenren and Qiu Jieyi were confused. This was indeed a bit regretful.
After Xu Luo finished speaking, he specially saluted Qiu Jieyi. As for Yan Zhenren, he had already patted him on the shoulder as soon as he moved, shaking his head slightly to indicate that he didn't mind.
Xu Luo looked at him in surprise. Master Yan frowned slightly and then babbled in the direction of the smiling Ancestor Qingren beside him.
"Okay, you two don't wink there, I'm not that unreasonable.
Mr. Xu Luo, although you are from outside the land, since you are already engaged to Xixi Xiaonizi, I will treat you as one of my own descendants."
Ancestor Qingren was not angry and kicked Master Yan in the butt with just enough force to push him aside.
Yan Zhenren didn't care. Apparently he had been beaten many times before. He reached out and patted his butt, then picked up the cigarette stick and started puffing away.
Patriarch Qingyun frowned slightly when he saw Xu Luo's reserved face, then showed a sudden look on his face and yelled at the real people with bright eyes around him.
"Now that everyone has seen it, get out of here! This trip to Shenmu Island will be led by Xu Luo, and you can discuss the rest of the entourage on your own!"
Many real people looked obviously resentful at this time, but Patriarch Qingren glared, and everyone immediately disappeared in Xianwu Pavilion.
Only Master Yan pretended not to hear and stayed shamelessly. As for Jinghai, he had always regarded the sect's affairs as his own business and had never thought about leaving.
When Qin Xuanji saw no one else, he stopped pretending and showed a happy smile.
"Although I don't know how your kid got here, I think it's not a good feeling to be there."
At this time, Xu Luo stopped pretending to be crazy and simply talked about his experiences in the past few years in a few words.
Qin Xuanji and others only listened to the general idea, but they could already imagine how dangerous this experience was. Master Yan let the green smoke curl up on his face, his eyes filled with emotion.
Qin Xuanji's eyes changed for a while, he looked at Xu Luo for a moment and finally sighed.
"I understand a little bit about the reason for your terrifying fighting power. I have really suffered a lot from you these past years.
That’s all, since you’ve come to the Begging Alliance, I hope you can regard this as your starting point and destination in the Fairyland, do you understand?”
Xu Luo didn't hesitate at all this time and nodded sharply.
"Even if it's just for Xixi, the Begging Union will definitely be my home. Senior, don't worry."
Qin Xuanji nodded happily.
"Since the ancestor has appointed you as the chief, I only care about one thing now. How far is your boy's combat power now?"
Xu Luo pondered for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Patriarch Qingren no longer looked playful at this moment and nodded seriously.
"Don't hide it. The trip to Shenmu Continent is related to our Begging Alliance and even the future of the human race. We can't take it too seriously.
You can rest assured that no one in the Beggar League will dare to have any plans against you while I am here."
Hearing the caution in their words, Xu Luo took a long breath and stopped pretending, looking directly at Yan Zhenren.
Several others were stunned at first, but then after understanding what Xu Luo wanted to express, they all expressed ecstasy, even Yan Zhenren, who was used as a reference, was no exception.
Ancestor Qingren even laughed wildly without any scruples.
"Okay, okay, you kid really hid it deep enough!
Xuanji, please take Xiao Luo back to the Upper Court first, explain to him the rules of our Begging Alliance, and then bring him to Lingyun Peak to see me.
During this period of time, all the materials and spiritual objects needed for Xuluo's cultivation are everywhere. If you can't find them, come to Wantan Lin to look for them..."
Before he finished speaking, the figure of Patriarch Qingren had turned into dots of light and dispersed, and he left just like that!
Seeing the surprised look in Xu Luo's eyes, Qin Xuanji couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
"You kid takes yourself too seriously. What kind of status does Patriarch Qingren have? He came down from Lingyun Peak specifically for this assessment. Do you still want him to accompany you for an initiation ceremony?"
Having said this, a cold look suddenly appeared on his face.
"What's more, Ying Wuque died in your hands during this assessment. Although Duan Shui escaped from Junior Sister Jingshui, the price was not small.
How can the film department give up after suffering such a big loss? I estimate that Patriarch Qingren will have to fight a few more times to calm down."
Xu Luo didn't look surprised at all. As long as you have been hanging around in the world for a while, you will understand that this is the most normal process. Otherwise, why would everyone be trying to get into the big sects and powerful forces?
The more powerful and influential disciples come out, no one will mess with them unless they are completely cornered and have no way out.
What I'm afraid of is that when the baby is young, the old baby will come.
Seeing that he still had the same calm expression, Qin Xuanji nodded secretly, turned around and looked at Master Jinghai next to him.
"Senior brother, I would like to trouble you to finish the assessment. I will take Xu Luo to the Ancestral Master Hall first."
Master Jinghai responded happily.
"Don't worry, Sect Master, it's a good thing that Xu Luo is causing such trouble. At least the people of Black Turtle City will have to suffer less for a long time."
The old man's speech was obviously very respectful now, and he even nodded slightly towards Xu Luo with a smile as he spoke. It was obvious that his appearance had made Master Jinghai completely fall in love with Qin Xuanji.
Only then did Yan Zhenren, who had remained so shameless just now, stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his butt.
"Old smoker, please go with senior brother Jinghai. Xu Luo, if you have free time at Lingyun Peak in the future, come to the lower courtyard to see the old man."
Xu Luo didn't dare to be careless about this respectable old man, so he quickly saluted and agreed.
After everyone had left, Qin Xuanji revealed a wry smile and sighed subconsciously.
"This time, I really have to thank you for showing up in time, which can be regarded as relieving me of a big trouble."
Xu Luo said a few humble words and then quickly asked about the current situation of Gu Xixi and Jinu. Qin Xuanji frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Since that little girl went into seclusion in Qingyu Cave, there has been no news. That's all. Now you still know very little about the affairs of the Upper House, and I can't explain it to you.
Let’s go, come with me to the Patriarch’s Hall first, and I’ll explain it to you in detail after entering.”
Although Xu Luo felt a little impatient, he did not dare to say that he had been peeping in Xianwu Pavilion these days. He knew everything that your old man knew.
In addition, he was really curious about the so-called Upper Court Ling Yunfeng, so he didn't rush to ask any more questions.
Qin Xuanji threw out a jade ring that looked like a spiritual object, and the two of them disappeared in Xianwu Pavilion instantly.
When the clear scene returned to Xu Luo's eyes, what came into view was the Hongqiao he had seen when he sneaked in late that night.
It was daytime at this time, and the warm early winter sun shone on the crystal clear bridge, reflecting the colorful light and making it dazzling.
Xu Luo showed a hint of surprise and subconsciously turned around to look around.
The towering Five Fingers Peak formed a ring and surrounded the valley in the middle. Even though it was already winter, the valley was still full of spring, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants vying for beauty, and countless rare birds and animals that he couldn't even name.
Traveling through the mountains and forests.
The lush green, accompanied by a kind of purple mist, extends upward from the valley towards the mountain peak, and then halfway up the mountain, the green seems to have been chopped with a knife, and there are large tracts of white snow.
"The Upper Court is known as Lingyun Peak to the outside world, but it is actually divided into five peaks. Lingyun Peak is the main peak with the most abundant spiritual energy. Gongde Building, Qingyu Cave, and the Patriarch Hall are all located on this peak, and it is also the residence of the sect masters of all generations.
The top of the mountain is the place where the ancestor of the Sanxian Immortal of the sect cleanses and cultivates. No one is allowed to break in without being summoned.
Si Guofeng is the master of Jinghai you just met. He is in charge of the discipline and punishment of the sect. If the disciples make mistakes, most of them will be imprisoned here.
Master Jinghui, the leader of Lone Star Peak, is the best at refining elixirs and making weapons, and has a good temper. He is the good old man that all disciples are most willing to deal with..."
Qin Xuanji did not use the escape technique again, but led Xu Luo slowly forward along the Hongqiao step by step.
Xu Luo couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard Jinghui's name. He hoped that this senior's temperament was exactly the same as what you said, otherwise he might not be able to reap any good fruits.
"The remaining Zhenhai Peak is mainly for collection of classics and teaching, and there is no fixed leader. Each real person takes turns to be on duty, and the time is not fixed.
During this period, Master Jingchi of the Qi family should be guarding him. If the disciples have any doubts about the practice of the exercises, they can ask for advice at any time!"
When he said this, Qin Xuanji suddenly stopped and looked towards the mountain peak where his middle finger should be.
This mountain peak was different from the other four peaks. It was shrouded in a blood-tinged cloud from beginning to end. Qin Xuanji stared at it for a long time before sighing.
"That's Zhan Tian Peak. It's also the only peak in our Begging Alliance dedicated to killing and killing monsters. It can be said to be a gathering of the best of the sect. It's a pity..."
Halfway through, he stopped talking, but Xu Luo also vaguely guessed it.
In this ghostly place of the Fairyland, Zhan Tian Peak, which is responsible for killing people, must be the peak with the heaviest casualties. To put it simply, the quiet and peaceful scene in the Upper Court was earned through their bloody fights.
As long as they are not arrogant idiots, anyone who sees this peak will naturally respect him.
Qin Xuanji murmured again while continuing to walk forward.
"Zhantian Peak is also the only peak headed by Sanxian Ancestor. It is also the peak with the strangest rules. All new disciples who first enter the Upper Academy must persist at Zhantian Peak for three years. After that, they can be transferred to Zhantian Peak based on their temperament and hobbies.
The cultivation level is assigned to other peaks.
If old disciples want to re-enter Zhantian Peak, they must complete corresponding tasks before being allowed to do so.
If one day Zhan Tianfeng takes the initiative to recruit people, then there will be no other peak factions in the entire Begging Alliance, and everyone must spontaneously obey the orders of the leader of Zhan Tianfeng, because that will definitely be the moment when the sect is in danger."
Xu Luo's heart moved and he couldn't help but look back. As expected, this would be his first stop when entering the upper courtyard.
Qin Xuanji, who was walking in front, shook his head and laughed as if he had eyes on his back.
"Don't worry, you disciples who are going to Shenmu Continent may not have a chance to see Zhan Tian Peak.
You will set off on the journey at the summer solstice next year at the latest, and you need to stay at Lingyun Peak as much as possible during this period. There will be dedicated real people who will teach everyone experience and magic based on their shortcomings."
The two of them soon followed Hongqiao to the halfway point of Lingyun's main peak, and a continuous stretch of pavilions and pavilions appeared in front of them along the mountain.
From time to time, when disciples passed by the two of them, they would respectfully salute Qin Xuanji. At this moment, Qin Xuanji no longer acted like he did in front of those real people, but instead returned the salutes with a gentle face.
The bluestone steps are like a long winding dragon running through the houses and palaces, and clear snow water flows slowly along the side of the steps.
The two of them climbed up the stairs, and Qin Xuanji also took the opportunity to tell Xu Luo some of the rules of the Upper House. After nearly two hours, they finally arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
The two Body Cleansing Realm disciples guarding the door immediately bent down and saluted when they saw Qin Xuanji. Qin Xuanji waved to them, and then looked at the large characters of Ancestral Hall with flying phoenixes above the door lintel, his eyes full of emotion.
"These three words were left by my ancestor of the Qin family, Mr. Yu Hao!
At that time, he felt that it was difficult for the human race to survive in the Kukai Sea, so he used his great supernatural power to imprison the entire Kukai Sea and set up talisman formations, thus leaving the last place for our race to thrive.
At that time, the power of our ancestors was astonishing, and the sect was full of talented people. However, the Kagebu, who also lived in the Kukai Kukai, didn't even dare to let out a single fart.
But current events have changed, and now the Shadow Club, which ran away with its tail between its legs, appears openly in Black Turtle City, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Xu Luo was already completely shocked by his words. Imprisoning the entire Shattered Konghai was something that a human could do?
What kind of realm is this founder of the Begging Union? Although Xu Luo has never seen the Sanxian ancestor take action in person, he can be sure that the Qingren ancestor definitely does not have this ability!
Qin Xuanji reached out and pushed open the door, but to Xu Luo's surprise, there was only a dilapidated thatched hut in the empty hall.
The skylight above passes through the glazed tiles, and the star beads inlaid on the surrounding walls cast a little bit of gleaming white, illuminating the vast hall as bright as day.
In other words, the entire grand hall was like a big cover, carefully protecting the dilapidated thatched hut.
Seeing the surprise on Xu Luo's face, Qin Xuanji coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"After all, the ancestor has passed away many years ago, and the things left behind, no matter how strong they are, are decaying day by day.
The seventh-generation sect leader thought of a way to build a large hall outside to cover people's ears and eyes, and secondly, with the blessing of the talisman array, the hut can be better protected."
"In other words, the real Patriarch Hall is this... um, small house in front of you?"
Qin Xuanji laughed.
"This old man will keep you out for a while, now it's your turn to go in.
If the Patriarch approves you, a vision will appear. If not, haha, then it can only be said that you are destined to have no connection with my Upper House."
