The lake was rippling, and the outer disciple who was in charge of paddling the boat pushed the oar, causing the boat to leave the lake shore and sail slowly towards the sect.
Jiang Li and his party of more than 20 people took four small boats respectively. He and Qi Changsheng, Lu Wangji, Jiang Luo and Jiang Yang were in one boat, and the rest of them took the other three boats.
Qi Changsheng looked at the outer disciple who was punting the boat and asked curiously: "Is there someone dedicated to punting the boat in and out of the sect today?"
You must know that in the past, they had to punt their own boats in and out of the sect.
Every outer sect disciple has more or less mastery of punting skills, just like every disciple of the Dinghu sect knows water skills.
The outer disciple who was holding the boat had his head lowered, and he was wearing a large bamboo hat on his head. He looked strange. Because it was already August, the season was entering autumn, the weather was getting cooler, and the sunshine was no longer as strong as in summer.
, the disciples of the Dinghu Sect all have cultivation bases, so they should not be afraid of this light.
It is said that none of the disciples in the other three ships wore hats, but this one not only wore one, but also deliberately lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face.
Hearing Qi Changsheng's inquiry, he said in a deep voice: "It's not like those busybodies who have nothing to do with it. They said that they wanted to take into account that the colleagues at the meeting did not know how to punt the boat, so they specially sent a disciple to steer the boat. I didn't even think that I could come to participate in the sword discussion conference.
Yes, everyone has their own cultivation. If they don’t know how to punt a boat, don’t they know how to use Qi or magic? I think those guys are just difficult to deal with.”
He was chattering a lot, and his voice was quite strange. He sounded like he was quite young, at least thirty.
"this······"
Qi Changsheng, who has always been good at talking, was at a loss for words, "Junior brother, it's a bit uncomfortable for you to talk like this, isn't it?"
Generally speaking, this kind of thing has to go through the elders of the Sixth Hall. The elders may not need to handle it personally, but they must be informed. In other words, this outer disciple also scolded the six elders.
This attitude is simply not too brave.
"You just said it, what can you do to me?" The outer disciple said as if he didn't care.
【This voice... sounds a bit familiar.】
Jiang Li at the stern of the boat looked at this heroic outer disciple, his eyes sizing up and gradually showing suspicion.
The Emperor's Qi Watching Technique was used naturally, and a bloody man appeared in Jiang Li's eyes.
A person is made up of blood. His qi and blood are so strong that they can be condensed into substance. Especially when he is extremely restrained, it will flow like a river of blood. If such strong qi and blood burst out, it would be so powerful that it would be terrifying.
It's as good as the sun.
Among the Dinghu Sect, apart from the leader, there is only one person who can theoretically have such powerful Qi and blood.
"Uncle Guan?" Jiang Li called tentatively.
"No." The man in the outer green robe shouted decisively.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes looking as if they were real from under his bamboo hat, and a feeling of horror crawled up Jiang Li's back.
There is no mistake, it is him, Kaiyang elder Guan Wuyang.
A strange phenomenon loomed above Jiang Li's head, and three flowers gathering on his head loomed. He calmed his mind with [Seeking to Return to True Truth], and then asked with some surprise: "Uncle Guan, are you... being punished?"
Elder Kaiyang beheaded first and then punished. Obviously, he was going to be criticized by other elders, but Jiang Li really didn't expect that this method of punishment was so... strange?
It’s as strange as Elder Kaiyang’s imagination.
Elder Kaiyang was also quite surprised because Jiang Li was able to calm down under his gaze.
One of the Dao Fruits he contains can greatly enhance the intimidating power of his gaze. Even if Elder Kaiyang has not shown his true intentions before, it is enough to make a seventh-grade or even sixth-grade person remain silent and dare not say a word.
But Jiang Li actually accepted it.
However, even so, he would not admit it.
"I told you, I am not your concern..."
Under the bamboo hat, the facial muscles are squirming, and it will turn into another face in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, a little starlight appeared between the eyebrows, suppressing the changes in the flesh and blood on the face, and returning the face to its original appearance.
'The ban is in effect again! Damn, that bitch Tianxuan is back! Also, Jiang Li is back, how can that bitch not come back?'
Elder Kaiyang cursed secretly in his heart, then no longer suppressed his voice and sighed in his original voice: "Okay, I am your Uncle Guan."
"Boy, I haven't seen you for more than a month, but my strength has improved. Not only has I been promoted to the seventh rank, but I also have this strength... Tsk tsk."
The eyes under the bamboo hat glanced at Jiang Li, and Elder Kaiyang clicked his tongue.
His temperament has become a bit weathered, and there are gray spots on his temples. It seems that he has suffered a trauma that damaged his vitality, making his original pretty face look a little more mature.
However, compared to his strength, the changes in appearance are not worth mentioning.
With a strength comparable to that of the sixth grade, and a state of mind that is not afraid of his own gaze, the rumors are true. This boy is really qualified to compete with Zhong Shenxiu and Yuan Zhen.
"Open-" Qi Changsheng on the side finally reacted at this moment.
He has also met Elder Kaiyang. When he went to Lunjianhai to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference, Elder Kaiyang led the team. Now that Elder Kaiyang has changed back to his original voice, of course he reacted immediately.
But before Qi Changsheng could say anything, Elder Kaiyang glanced over and saw that everyone on the boat, except Jiang Li, was dumbfounded, sitting there stiffly, motionless, not even blinking.
‘Guan Sheng Emperor’s Dao Fruit Ability...’ When Jiang Li saw this, his heart was filled with fear.
As a disciple of Tianxuan, he naturally knows something about the other elders, including the Dao Fruit of several elders. Elder Kaiyang accommodated the Dao Fruit of Emperor Guan Sheng when he was at the fifth level.
If Guan Gong doesn't open his eyes, if he opens his eyes, he will kill someone.
What Elder Kaiyang demonstrated at this moment was the Taoist magical power evolved from these words.
Qi Changsheng and others were not like Jiang Li who had the three flowers gathered at the top and sought to return to their true nature to stabilize their minds. Facing such gazes, their body and mind subconsciously protected themselves and froze completely. At the moment, they were afraid that they were not even conscious.
Not awake anymore.
After stopping everyone with one glance, Elder Kaiyang looked sideways at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li immediately said: "Today, I have only seen Uncle Guan."
Elder Kaiyang's real name is rarely known in the sect. For a big man like him, Kaiyang Wuqu is more famous than Guan Wuyang and has long since replaced his real name. Therefore, when Qi Changsheng mentioned "Uncle Guan" earlier, he didn't know it at all.
react to.
The same example is Jiang Li's master Tianxuan.
Until now, Jiang Li still doesn't know Tianxuan's real name.
Saying "Uncle Guan" instead of Elder Kaiyang is to show that today's matter will not be leaked.
"Um."
Elder Kaiyang nodded with satisfaction, then shook his head and sighed, "The more I look at you, the more I like you. Compared to you, my stupid apprentice is far behind."
Thinking about his disciple, Elder Kaiyang felt an indescribable feeling of melancholy.
"The disciple also feels that he has a affinity with Master Guan, but it is a pity that the disciple does not follow pure martial arts and has no chance to join Master Guan's sect."
When Jiang Li said this, he looked regretful, "If this disciple could get some teachings from Uncle Guan, he wouldn't have had to worry about dealing with Zhong Shenxiu when he fought against him before."
This is of course a lie. If Jiang Li was in his prime, he would never worry about dealing with Zhong Shenxiu. The outcome may still be hard to say, but he would never avoid fighting.
Especially after learning Fenghou Qimen, Jiang Li felt that his chances of winning had at least increased by 10%.
However, this did not affect Jiang Li's desire to learn one and a half moves from Elder Kaiyang.
His martial arts fights are all supported by Yinglongbian and Tianzi Wangqi Technique. He looks like a martial arts expert, but in fact he is a master. Naturally, he hopes to improve his martial arts.
In this way, you won't have to worry about being unable to defeat Tianxuan in the future.
"You can climb up along the pole." Elder Kaiyang scolded with a smile.
He stopped the boat and touched his chin, "But it's not impossible, as long as you can do what I ask."
"What's the request?" Jiang Li asked.
"It's very simple."
Elder Kaiyang slowly turned around and looked at the approaching island, "Depress his energy, lest he not practice martial arts all day long and run to Tianshu Palace."
Jiang Li also immediately looked forward and saw a young man in red robe standing on the edge of the island holding a long knife.
Ling Wujue.
Jiang Li recognized the other person at a glance.
Moreover, Jiang Li also knew that the other party was most likely waiting for him.
Within the Dinghu Sect, voice communication is an extremely simple matter. Only one disciple who has accommodated the Gongcao Daoguo can achieve one-way communication within the sect. If both of them have accommodated the Gongcao Daoguo
, then you can chat on the phone.
Jiang Li returned to the sect without much concealment. He had previously seen his fellow sect members who seemed to be performing meritorious deeds from a distance. Ling Wujue had obviously received a message from them and was waiting for Jiang Li here.
The question is, what is Ling Wujue’s purpose?
Test? Welcome? Or do you want to test Jiang’s current strength?
Jiang Li subconsciously thought about it, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no need to think about it too much.
No matter what the purpose is, Jiang Li can easily deal with it, because he is now at the seventh level, because his strength is higher, and because this is a sect, and Jiang Li is different from the past. Some things do not need to be calculated or calculated.
Need to be more careful.
"How serious is the injury?" Jiang Li asked directly.
Instead of thinking about Ling Wujue's purpose, it would be better to ask Party A's requirements.
"The brat still doesn't know that his master has gone to punt the boat and has been running to Tianshu Palace all day long. Just treat his injuries and prevent him from going out for three days." Elder Kaiyang pressed the bamboo hat, as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Said, "After all, in three days, it will be almost time for him to be promoted."
Promotion?
Jiang Li secretly paid attention.
As far as he knew, the sixth-grade Dao Fruit of the Dinghu Sect that was most suitable for martial cultivation was the Lingguan Dao Fruit.
The Spiritual Officer is the Taoist protector god of Taoism. The promotion ceremony of the Spiritual Officer's Taoist Fruit is naturally related to the Taoist Fruit. The promotion ceremony of this Taoist Fruit is the successful promotion of a Taoist monk of sixth grade or above who is the Protector.
Elder Kaiyang said this at this time...
‘Is it possible that Yun Jiuye is going to be promoted?’ Jiang Li immediately thought of this possibility.
