Luo Tian can defeat Zhu Hongyu. Even if he cannot use many methods, he can still win.
But it's not necessary.
Luo Tian wants to be outstanding, but he can't be too outstanding, otherwise there will be risks.
Once he defeats Zhu Hongyu, his final ranking will be in the top ten. It will be too eye-catching and will be focused on by the top officials of Emperor Wu.
Some time ago, many potential killers were uncovered and executed one by one, and the bodies are still hanging.
"Referee, my injury is too serious and I will not participate in the next competition."
Luo Tian said to the referee.
Luo Tian's goal was just to achieve a certain level of fame, and now he has achieved it.
So he chose to be lazy and did not participate in the next foreign sect competition.
The less you reveal, the less likely you are to be suspected.
"Um."
The referee nodded slightly, feeling pity.
Mei Qianzhe's strength can enter the top fifty, or even the top thirty.
But unfortunately, the fight with Zhu Hongyu was too fierce and the injury was too serious to continue competing. If there was no accident, Mei Qianzhe would be ranked 100th.
However, the referee did not look down upon Mei Qianzhe, but was extremely optimistic about Mei Qianzhe's future.
Maybe in the next external sect competition, Mei Qianzhe can shine dazzlingly and have no regrets.
…
Two days later, the external sect competition came to an end.
Luo Tian ranked 100th.
However, many of the disciples who ranked ahead of him treated Luo Tian very seriously.
Rong Wu's ranking was higher than Luo Tian's, and he didn't come to show off or ridicule.
As for Zhu Hongyu, he was also hit hard by Luo Tian, which affected his subsequent performance, and he ranked eleventh.
After falling out of the top ten, he felt extremely regretful and thought that Luo Tian was responsible for everything.
"Senior Brother Mei is great. Although you are ranked one hundred, many disciples believe that you will definitely be in the top fifty."
Xu Can said with a flattering look.
In his opinion, Mei Qianzhe must also regret that he was too seriously injured and could not compete. If he can make Mei Qianzhe happy at this time, he will definitely be taken seriously.
"Senior Brother Mei, are you going to become a disciple next?"
Xu Can asked next.
“Of course I want to go!”
Luo Tian nodded.
After every external sect competition, many disciples will rely on their performance or ranking in the competition to seek apprenticeship while the iron is hot, and the success rate is also higher.
Why did Luo Tian take the risk to participate in the external sect competition? It was for this reason!
After separating from Xu Can.
Luo Tian went directly to become a disciple.
His target is... the great elder "Li Xiongyun"!
How could the Great Elder and Lie Gan turn their passivity into initiative, draw out the assassin from the dark, and successfully kill them?
In addition to this being their territory, there is also a crucial point. Both grandfather and grandson know very well that the killers’ target is Lie Gan!
Therefore, focus on observing every move of everyone around Lie Gan, especially those who were not familiar with him before and suddenly come close to Lie Gan, they are all the focus of attention.
At the Yunqiao party.
Luo Tian once wanted to get closer to Lie Gan, but failed. He was almost included in the focus of Lie Gan and the great elder.
After a period of thinking, Luo Tian changed his strategy.
Instead of approaching Lie Gan, he approached Lie Gan’s grandfather, Lie Xiong Yun, the great elder of Ziyang Sect!
I am afraid that it would be difficult for this great elder to imagine that the killer would go in the opposite direction and come close to him, a powerful person with high authority!
Luo Tian arrived outside the great elder's residence.
"Please tell the Great Elder that Mei Qianzhe, a disciple of the outer sect, sincerely worships him as his teacher!"
Luo Tian said to the guard outside the door.
The guards have long been accustomed to it. In the Ziyang Sect, dozens of disciples come to worship as their master every year.
…
In the study room.
"Grandpa, there are two people beside me. I suspect they may also be killers."
Lie Gan said respectfully.
The Grand Elder of the Ziyang Sect opposite, Lie Xiong Yun, has a reddish complexion, thick eyebrows and beard, and a slightly chubby figure.
He sat quietly, like a huge mountain, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
It is also a volcano, and it seems that once it erupts, it will destroy the world.
Lie Xiong said: "As long as you think there is a problem, grandpa will send people to monitor it. Once confirmed, he will be killed directly!"
In recent days, they, grandfather and grandson, followed this idea and uncovered killers one after another.
at the same time.
Every time a killer is killed, the deterrence will be increased by one point, which can scare other killers and prevent them from taking on this task.
"Give me enough time to investigate the person who issued the reward, and then it will be his nightmare."
Lie Xiongyun said coldly.
The grandfather and grandson didn't know who posted the reward.
Lie Xiongyun offended many people, not to mention Lie Gan. He was arrogant, domineering, lustful, and played with many women to death.
"You should restrain yourself from now on and don't cause casualties!"
Lie Xiongyun admonished Lie Gan, thinking that Lie Gan was more likely to cause the fire and burn himself.
"Yes, my grandson will remember it."
Lie Gan nodded quickly.
"Report to the Great Elder that there are disciples from other sects outside who come to be their disciples."
Outside the study, the butler's voice came.
"who is it?"
Lie Xiongyun asked.
As the great elder of the sect, to secure this position, he needs sufficient connections and influence, especially within the Ziyang Sect.
In addition to recruiting, the best way is to cultivate potential disciples and let them hold certain positions in the sect to expand their own power.
If his power is large enough, he may become the leader of Ziyang Sect in the future.
"Mei Qianzhe," the steward said.
"Grandpa, I know that although this person is from the Plum Clan, his talent is average. There are many geniuses in the Plum Clan who are better than him."
Lie Gan looked down on Mei Qianzhe a little.
"How did this person perform in this competition?"
Lie Xiongyun asked the housekeeper.
"Number one hundred," the steward said.
Lie Gan smiled disdainfully.
You are ranked 100th in the external sect competition, and you also want to take the great elder as your teacher?
The Great Elder can definitely choose the ninety-nine more outstanding geniuses in front of him.
"However, in this competition, Mei Qianzhe fought against Zhu Hongyu and severely damaged him, causing Zhu Hongyu to fall out of the top ten and rank eleventh."
"It was also because of this battle that Mei Qianzhe was severely injured and did not participate in the next competition, so he ranked one hundred."
The butler continued.
He is the great elder's confidant. He pays close attention to various things in the sect and collects intelligence.
"Fight against Zhu Hongyu and severely injure him?"
Lie Gan was a little surprised.
He knows Zhu Hongyu relatively well. Although he was once defeated by him, his strength is still good.
"This Mei Qianzhe has only been in the sect for a few years..."
Lie Xiongyun whispered.
He was considering whether to accept a disciple or not.
…
Luo Tian waited for a while outside the Great Elder's mansion.
Suddenly, he felt something.
Only three figures were seen walking out. The person at the front was the Great Elder Lie Xiongyun, and on the left and right were Sunzi Liegan and the housekeeper.
"Meet the great elder and meet senior brother Liegan."
Luo Tian salutes.
The next moment, he felt the gaze from the great elder, and an invisible terror descended on him, making Luo Tian seem to be suppressed under the giant mountain, unable to move.
At the same time, the Great Elder's gaze seemed to peel back the layers of Luo Tian, peering into all his secrets!
Fortunately, Luo Tian had already expected this.
Before becoming a disciple, he asked the Heavenly Book how to hide the secret from the Wuji Realm Martial Emperor.
There are several methods, one of which is based on the Art of Creation, which can evade Emperor Wu's observation in a short period of time.
After three breaths passed, Luo Tian felt the great elder withdraw his scrutinizing gaze.
never mind.
Luo Tian was relieved in his heart.
At this time, Lie Xiongyun said: "You are not worthy of being my disciple."
