In a magnificent hall at the highest point of Xuanjian Peak, a group of people gathered in a hall and seemed to be arguing about something.
"Elder Mingdao, you must give an explanation to my Xiang family today!"
This is the meeting hall of Xuanjian Sect.
In the hall, a lean old man dressed in Chinese clothes stood proudly with a gloomy expression.
On the chest of the gorgeous dress, there is a gilt word "xiang" embroidered on it.
Behind him were two other young men in purple gowns, both with cold and arrogant expressions on their faces.
Like the old man, their gowns also have the word "xiang" embroidered on them.
At this moment, the lean old man smiled faintly and continued: "The Nie family's Tsing Yi disciples injured four of my Xiang family's gold-clothed disciples for no reason. According to the iron law of the sect, this is simply the following offense, which is treason!"
It turned out that this lean old man and the young disciple behind him both came from the Xiang family, one of the three major families.
This family, together with the Baili family and the Nie family, are the backbone and humeral strength of Xuanjian Sect.
In past foreign wars, the three major families were often in the same spirit and advanced and retreated together.
In addition, the three families all belong to the Xuanjian Sect, so the three families have the same level classification and settings as other Xuanjian Sect disciples.
Disciples of Xuanjian Sect are divided into four levels from strong to weak: purple, white, gold, and blue.
Because of their different levels, they will also wear clothes of different colors to represent their respective identities and strengths.
The disciples in purple are the strongest, second only to the elders in the sect!
Then came the disciples in white and gold.
The Tsing Yi disciples are the weakest.
Most of these Tsing Yi disciples are new disciples, or disciples with poor talent who have been unable to improve their strength for a long time.
There is an empty chair at the highest point at the front of the meeting hall.
This top position belongs to the sect leader—the head of the Nie family and Nie Heng’s father, Nie Tianyang!
But now, this top spot has been vacant for almost three years...
Under the highest chair, four old men from the Xuanjian Sect were sitting.
After hearing the words of the lean old man, the four elders had different expressions, but their eyes were all looking at the same young man.
This young man looked to be about eighteen years old. He was kneeling in the hall, his head lowered, and his green clothes were in tatters.
"Zi Wei, did you really hurt the golden-clothed disciple of the Xiang family?"
An octogenarian man finally spoke, looking down at the young man kneeling on the ground, and asked: "Do you know your guilt?"
Hearing this, the Tsing Yi disciple named Zi Wei suddenly raised his head and lost his voice: "Elder Mingdao, the reason why this disciple took action is because they did evil first. They also said that the Nie family has no one left, and even said that the leader of Xuanjian Sect has...
…”
Elder Mingdao frowned slightly and asked, "What has happened?"
"Already..." Zi Wei slowly lowered his head and bared his teeth and said, "Already...died in battle!"
Hearing this answer, Elder Mingdao took a deep breath, looked around deeply at the other three Xuanjian Sect elders around him, and then chose to remain silent.
"Hahaha... It's really ridiculous. The occasional joking between disciples can be used as an excuse to hurt each other, right?"
Seeing this, the lean elder of the Xiang family raised his head and smiled, stroking his beard and said proudly: "Elder Mingdao, as the second elder of Xuanjian Sect, neither the sect leader nor the first elder is here. It seems that you can only give us an explanation.
Bar!"
The sect leader and the great elder of Xuanjian Sect are really not in the sect.
More than two years ago, they led thousands of elite disciples in the sect and followed a Northern Expedition army of the empire to the extremely cold land in the north of the empire.
Haven’t returned yet…
In this case, among the many elders of Xuanjian Sect, the second elder is the most powerful.
Seeing the other party's aggressiveness, Elder Mingdao shook his head helplessly: "Elder Chihu, in your opinion, how should I give you an explanation on behalf of the Nie family?"
Hearing this, Ziwei suddenly raised his head again and looked at Elder Mingdao in disbelief, his fists trembling slightly.
He couldn't believe that Elder Mingdao, who was very close to the Nie family, had no intention of supporting him.
And the second elder just assumed that he had done something wrong without asking the whole story?
"snort……"
With a cold snort, the elder named Xiang Chihu flashed a cold look in his eyes.
"Let's do this, get rid of this troublemaking boy, and give one of the spiritual mineral veins under the control of the Nie family to my Xiang family, and forget about it!"
What……
Xiang Chihu actually wants Elder Mingdao to destroy Zi Wei, and even further seizes a spiritual mineral vein under the control of the Nie family!
You must know that in this world, the real strong ones are warriors.
If a martial artist wants to gain great strength, in addition to their talent and hard work, they also need to see whether they can get help from other aspects.
For example, the guidance of strong men, the assistance of elixirs, and whether there are spiritual stones to help you obtain stronger and more pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, so as to enhance your own strength.
It can be said that - obtaining and smelting spiritual stones is one of the best ways to help warriors increase their strength.
The spiritual mineral veins produce spiritual stones, which are extremely valuable to warriors.
Precisely because of the incomparable importance of the spirit mineral vein, at this moment, the two Xuanjian Sect elders beside Elder Mingdao immediately stood up.
"Chihu, are your Xiang family too overbearing?"
"Elder Chihu, each of your three aristocratic families only owns three veins of spiritual minerals. Now you actually plan to take advantage of the sect leader's absence to seize one of his mineral veins? Isn't this too much?"
"Hahaha...is it too much?"
He raised his head and smiled. When he lowered his head, Chihu still stroked his beard gently and said in a cold voice: "It seems that this matter cannot be resolved! In this case, I have to remind you three!"
"What are you talking about?" Elder Mingdao also stood up, his figure even more stooped, and his hands seemed to be withered.
Looking at Elder Mingdao, Elder Chihu said in a dark voice: "Is the Nie family still capable of guarding the three spiritual mineral veins?"
Rumble…
With just one sentence, Elder Mingdao and the other two elders seemed to understand something, and their expressions suddenly became extremely serious!
Only one other elder remained silent from beginning to end, his expression as calm as water!
Can you hold it?
The sect leader and the great elder who also came from the Nie family are not here. They led thousands of elite disciples in the sect to join the army in the Northern Expedition more than two years ago, and there was suddenly no news a few months ago.
After losing two strong men, most of the thousands of elite disciples who joined the Northern Expedition came from the Nie family, so that the Nie family's current strength has long since declined!
However, the Xiang family did not send anyone to participate in the Northern Expedition, so their strength was already superior to the other two major families of the Xuanjian Sect.
In this case, if the Xiang family really wants to find an excuse to snatch the Nie family's spiritual mineral veins, how can the Nie family hold on?
What's more, the Xiang family seems to have found an excuse now.
Once the Xiang family uses this excuse to fall out, they may not only seize one spiritual mineral vein, but may even directly seize the entire jurisdiction of the three spiritual mineral veins under the jurisdiction of the Nie family...
If this is the case, what should we do?
Elder Mingdao fell silent.
The expressions of the other two elders became more solemn, they looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Only the elder who had always been silent remained silent, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.
But at this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Xiang Chihu, are you thinking too beautifully?"
Who is it?
Hearing this, the three elders Mingdao all looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Elder Chihu and his companions also turned around and looked at the huge open red door.
Under the red door, a young man in green shirt walked slowly.
It’s Nie Heng!
Under the scorching sun outside, his skin looked even fairer, his handsome face had a strong nose, and his seemingly clear eyes had a vaguely deep luster.
This luster is like a sword or a star!
Without paying any attention to Elder Chihu, Nie Heng walked towards the kneeling Zi Wei: "Did you do something wrong?"
Hearing the question, Zi Wei bit her lip tightly, and when the blood flowed down, she finally said: "Back to the young sect master, my disciple is right!"
After receiving such an answer, Nie Heng smiled faintly and asked: "Since you are right, why kneel down?"
Since you are right, why kneel down?
That means no need to kneel!
Hearing this, Zi Wei's eyes slowly widened, and then he immediately stood up and stood respectfully beside Nie Heng.
Then he turned to look at Xiang Chihu. Nie Heng still had a smile on his face: "Elder Chihu, do you know the ancient teachings of my Nie family?"
Looking at Nie Heng, Xiang Chihu frowned slightly and asked: "What ancient saying?"
Lifting his chin slightly, Nie Heng's smile remained as calm as water: "Xiongxiong Xuanjian, clang the Nie family. Anyone who offends my sect will be destroyed. Anyone who offends my Nie family will be destroyed, and his family and descendants will be destroyed."
Our clan and our clan will never cease fighting until the end!"
