The announcement of the results of the Xuan Qiong Tower trial immediately caused an uproar, not only shocking many of the temple masters and elders, but also the large number of disciples from various temples who came to watch, also showed expressions of disbelief.
The disciples of the Eight Temples who had just been sent out of the Xuan Qiong Tower now gathered behind their respective temple masters.
Perhaps due to the incident that occurred in the Xuan Qiong Tower, the temple leaders did not stay long. After briefly counting the number of people, they began to lead their disciples towards the teleportation array not far away.
Shi Mu walked slowly forward with the disciples in the Lihuo audience. Like the disciples around him, his face was slightly happy, but his ears were not idle at all, and he listened attentively.
"I didn't expect that the total number of disciples selected from the three temples of Gentian, Zhenlei and Kanshui, who are usually the strongest, would be less than that of our Lihuo Temple!" said an elder from Lihuo Temple named Chi next to Peng Yue at the front of the team.
"Haha, after this battle, Sanguan lost nearly a hundred heavenly disciples. It can be said that their vitality has been greatly damaged. I am afraid that my status in the sect will be greatly affected in the future." Another elder said.
Not far from the teleportation array, all the spectator teams stopped in unison.
Yun Mengze, the master of Duize Temple, walked up to Peng Yue, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Master Peng."
"Same joy, it's just a fluke." Peng Yue said expressionlessly and glanced at Wen Hua beside him.
"Guanzhu Peng is too modest. Although Nephew Wen Xian left the tower unexpectedly, his command in the face of crisis has impressed us deeply." Not far away, another middle-aged man came over and said
So said.
"Master Xiong has given you too much praise. On this trip to the Holy Ruins, you and I, as disciples, need to work together well." Peng Yue glanced at the other person, and a smile flashed in his only eye.
Shi Mu took a look at this person and saw that his body was like an iron tower. Coupled with what Peng Yue said, he immediately recognized this person as Xiong Zhen, the master of Kundi Temple. He had heard Wen Hua mention it accidentally.
I have a good relationship with Peng Yue.
The owners of the other two temples also came over and congratulated each other.
Shi Mu and the other disciples stood obediently with their hands down.
Although this uprising of phantom beasts was an accident, the Five Views were a blessing in disguise. Instead, they received far more places in the Holy Market than expected, so they were naturally overjoyed.
After all, the more disciples who enter the Holy Ruins, the more benefits they can get, which will directly affect the strength rankings of various schools for a long time to come, especially if the legendary Haotian Pavilion is really opened, what will happen to the Holy Ruins?
Traveling is an excellent opportunity.
At this moment, not far away, there was another sound of footsteps.
Shi Mu glanced around and saw Qian Tianguan and other three temple masters and several elders walking over from the square with rather unkind expressions.
Behind him, Mo Qinghui, a dozen disciples including Wan Hucong and Shui Fengyue followed with their heads lowered, looking rather ugly.
"Huh, if you didn't have evil intentions, how could you have ended up in this situation? It's all your own fault." The elder named Lihuo Guanchi snorted.
Ji Wentian stiffened when he heard this, stopped, glanced at the elder named Chi, and said coldly: "In the Kunlun Holy Ruins, facing the disciples of the other two holy places, I hope your disciples will have the same good experience as this time.
Good luck."
"Haha, I don't have to worry about Master Ji anymore." Yun Mengze said with a slight smile.
"Don't let me know who did it, otherwise, huh!" Ji Wentian's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes quickly swept over the five temple masters and their disciples like lightning. His voice was filled with murderous intent, and he seemed extremely angry.
Many disciples suddenly felt their hearts tremble and did not dare to look at him.
When Shi Mu glanced at the other party's eyes, he felt as if he had seen everything.
Fortunately, his gaze only glanced at him, which made him feel a little relieved and glanced at Yan Luo not far away.
But seeing Yan Luo also looking frightened, Shi Mu couldn't help but feel like laughing.
"Master Ji Guan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that our disciples set up a spirit-summoning formation, causing the phantom beasts to riot?" Peng Yue said calmly.
"Peng Guanzhu, there is no need to be angry. Holy Master, he has entered the Xuanqiong Tower, and the truth will be revealed soon." A sinister voice came from beside Peng Yue.
Shi Mu followed the call and found a white-faced man with a rather feminine appearance. He was the master of Kanshui Temple, Shui Wude.
"That's right, the Holy Lord will naturally find out whose proud disciple the person who arbitrarily set up a large formation and attracted a huge wave of phantom beasts is." Yun Mengze said leisurely.
"It's true that our disciples set up the formation, but now have any of your Five Views disciples actually died in the pagoda? Why are all the people who are alive and dead but not dead in the pagoda, all our Three Views disciples?" Another man with a long beard and a yellow face said
The young man walked up to Shui Wutuan and said.
Although Shi Mu did not recognize this person, he could roughly guess his identity. He should be Lu Yangli, the master of Qantian Temple.
Nowadays, the three views that failed in Xuan Qiong Tower are in vague opposition to the other five views.
Before the teleportation formation, the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
At this moment, a ray of golden light slowly descended from high in the sky, then fluctuated, and a thin old man wearing Bagua Taoist uniform with white beard and hair walked out.
Shi Mu took a closer look and realized that this person's aura was very powerful. He was actually a saint-level expert, and his cultivation level was far above that of the eight temple masters and elders present.
"As the masters of the Eight Views in the inner courtyard of our Lichen Holy Land, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by the younger disciples here?" The white-haired old man said in a deep voice with a sullen look on his face.
"Greetings to Elder Yin!" After seeing this person, the elders immediately bowed and saluted.
"Okay! Since the Holy Master has personally entered the tower to investigate, he can make a clear conclusion. Now that the Kunlun Holy Ruins is about to open, everything should be based on this. Go back and arrange various matters. Don't stay here." Elder Yin waved his hand.
commanded.
"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison.
Ji Wentian turned around and glared at Wan Hucong and the others, and shouted in a low voice: "Go back with me."
Those people responded and quickly followed.
Shui Wuduan and Lu Yangli also left the square with their disciples with pale faces.
The remaining five temple masters and elders said goodbye to each other and left with their disciples.
Here at Lihuo Temple, Shi Mu, Yanluo and the others quickly returned to Lihuo Temple and arrived at the main hall of Lihuo Temple.
"Haha, you did a great job in this Xuan Qiong Tower trial. I, Lihuo Guan, came out on top, which is a great relief for my teacher!" Peng Yue sat on the main seat, laughing, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Master's teachings are good!" All the disciples present said in unison.
"Wen Hua, Yang De, Fang Tongxi, you guys have provided good guidance in the Xuanqiong Tower. I will reward you well as my master later," Peng Yue said.
"Thank you, Master." Yang De and others were overjoyed and quickly saluted and thanked them.
"Master, this disciple has been eliminated from the tower. He really has no face to receive the reward." Wen Hua smiled bitterly and said with a face full of shame.
"It was an accident that you failed this time. I saw clearly from the outside that you were seriously injured when you were attacked by those phantom beasts in order to cover the escape of other disciples. Not only did you fail, but you actually achieved merit. You deserve this reward and don't need it."
Say it again." Peng Yue said.
"Yes." Seeing this, Wen Hua said nothing more.
"You performed very well this time. You can be ranked among the top 100. You will be rewarded later." Peng Yue then looked at Shi Mu and other selected disciples and said.
"Thank you, Master." Shi Mu and others bowed and saluted, with joy on their faces.
"This trial is just a trivial matter. What is really important is that the Kunlun Holy Ruins are about to begin. You should prepare well these days. If you can gain something in the Kunlun Ruins and make great contributions to the Lichen Sect, the sect will definitely not
I have treated you badly, and I will be proud of you as my teacher." Peng Yue said.
"Yes." Everyone who was selected looked solemn and agreed loudly.
"Okay, you are all tired after fighting in the secret realm for many days, so go down and rest. By the way, Lei Ji, Lin Tao, you two stay." Peng Yue waved his hand and said.
"yes."
When Shi Mu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to look at Yan Luo who was standing aside. He tried his best to keep his face from showing any strange expression.
Everyone in the hall agreed again and walked out of the hall.
When Ximen Xue walked out of the hall, he looked back at Shi Mu and the two, with a strange look in his eyes, and turned around and walked out.
"Could it be that our identities have been discovered?" Shi Mu's weak voice sounded in Yanluo's heart.
"I don't know, just adapt to circumstances." Yan Luo replied via voice transmission from his heart.
A light flashed deep in Shi Mu's eyes, but his face remained calm.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the hall walked out, leaving only the three of them in the hall.
"Master, you asked us to stay, what do you want us to do?" Shi Mu bowed and saluted.
"It's not that big of a deal. You two are only at the early stage of Tianzhi, but you were able to perform like this in this trial, which really impresses me." Peng Yue glanced at the two of them for a few times, and said pleasantly.
said.
"Master's eyes are as bright as a torch. The two disciples went out to sea for training a few days ago. They had some adventures and their strength has indeed improved somewhat." Shi Mu said with thoughts in his mind.
"Oh, I'm very interested in knowing what kind of adventure can change your strength completely." Peng Yue's voice suddenly cooled down, and before he finished speaking, he waved one hand.
White light suddenly flashed around the hall, instantly covering the entire hall.
Just as the white light covered it, a ray of silver light flew towards me at lightning speed, but unexpectedly hit the white light and was blocked.
There was a loud "bang" sound, the silver light dissipated, and Shi Mu and Yanluo staggered out.
"Oops!" Shi Mu looked at the white light curtain around him with shock in his eyes.
"It really surprises me that I actually know the Daluo Void Escape Technique. Fortunately, the formation around my main hall can isolate the power of internal and external space. Otherwise, you two boys would really have been able to escape." Peng Yue said in Peng Yue's eyes.
The look of surprise disappeared in a flash, and he said in a cold voice.
As soon as these words came out, Shi Mu felt shocked.
Yan Luo's expression did not change, his eyes narrowed slightly, and two cold lights as sharp as knives suddenly shot out from them.
"However, with your great ability, I will not let the person who killed my nephew Peng Jiong and beloved disciple Qin Gang escape at the same time!" Peng Yue roared.
