Chapter seven hundred and sixty fourth receiving the messenger
When Dantian was reborn, he had a true energy that far exceeded that of a half-immortal. Unexpectedly, it would become an obstacle for him to break through to the Feixian.
However, after a night of breakthroughs, it was already dawn and we needed to meet the head of the Shangguan family.
Judging from the fact that he insisted on fulfilling his past promises and marrying into the Yuan family against all opinions, he is worthy of praise.
Half an hour later, a maid brought breakfast.
After eating, they gathered together and were taken to the Shangguan family's reception hall.
The head of the Shangguan family seemed to be sitting.
Along with them, there are also the core figures of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yunque, and Shangguan Qing'er.
The head of the Shangguan family has a white, beardless face, a majestic look, and is not angry.
Shangguan Yunque and Shangguan Qing'er each sat at the bottom, looking serious and very respectful.
The head of the Shangguan family looked at him with sharp eyes, as if he could penetrate people's hearts.
Su Yu was secretly surprised that the master of the Shangguan family had reached the level of a god master, and he was still a mid-stage god master!
His breath was completely invisible, but he gave people a suffocating feeling like a mountain.
The young geniuses he swept across were all filled with anger and depression.
He glanced at everyone with a dull gaze, expressionless, until he landed on Su Yu, he paused for a moment, and then swept past.
"Yes, I believe that you can create great achievements even if you work hard." The head of the Shangguan family said: "I have ten places here for you to stay in the Shangguan family and be trained by our family. What do you think?
.”
Well? A strange color appeared in the depths of Su Yu's eyes. He was supposed to recommend them to enter the Scarlet Blood Palace, so why did he change his mind and let them stay in the Shangguan family?
Although the Shangguan family is powerful and can obtain a lot of cultivation resources after taking office, how can it compare with the ** sect?
What's more, is the Scarlet Blood Palace still the giant among the **** sect?
There is a chance to join the Scarlet Blood Palace, but if you stay in the Shangguan family, your future will be limited.
Zhang Fan thought deeply: "Sir Shangguan, can you explain to us the reason?"
If this matter is different, they may lose the opportunity to enter the Scarlet Blood Palace.
The head of the Shangguan family stared at Zhang Fan and nodded slowly: "Okay."
He didn't have to answer, but he did it anyway.
"You are all very talented, and a few of you can enter the Scarlet Blood Palace, but the situation in the Eighteen Cave Paradise Paradise has changed." The head of the Shangguan family said: "The eight bird stations of our Shangguan family were attacked at the same time, and the dog almost died because of it.
There are also many industries that have been destroyed by unknown forces."
"I communicated with other family forces and learned that not only our Shangguan family, but also other large family forces were attacked by unknown forces. Among them, the Ximen family was wiped out by a mysterious person overnight, leaving no heirs."
Zhang Fan's pupils shrank: "The destruction of the Ximen family? In the Eighteen Cave Paradise, there are countless superpowers, each with their own ranking. Among them, the Shangguan family ranks second and the Ximen family ranks third. But such a superpower that controlled hundreds of millions of territories was destroyed overnight.
?This, what kind of handiwork is this? Those with such power are at least from the Eighteen Cave Heavenly Paradise Sect."
The rest of the people were also extremely shocked and felt terrified.
A powerful family that has stood for hundreds of years will perish if it is said to perish.
"The Eighteen Cave Paradise has penetrated into a powerful dark force, which is gradually encroaching on the forces outside the Eighteen Sects. Unfortunately, our Shangguan family has also become one of the targets." The head of the Shangguan family looked solemn: "Therefore, for my Shangguan family,
The bloodline of the family will not be cut off overnight like the Ximen family, so we decided to send as many younger members of the Shangguan family as possible to the Scarlet Blood Palace, so as to avoid the disaster of annihilation."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan and others' expressions instantly turned ugly.
"The number of places recommended by my Shangguan family is limited, so I can only aggrieve you. If there is another opportunity in three years, I will try my best to recommend you. And if you are willing to stay, my Shangguan family can also cultivate you carefully, which can be regarded as compensation for you.
"
really!!
Their quota was deprived by the disciples of the Shangguan family.
"I'll give you a day to think about it. Before I receive the envoy tomorrow, I hope you can give me an answer. You can decide for yourself whether to stay in the Shangguan family or to move forward." The head of the Shangguan family waved his hand and returned to the back hall with some helplessness.
Shangguan Yunque looked at Su Yu and Yuan Yingying, then followed them bravely.
"Father, the child has agreed to recommend Brother Su and Yuan Yingying. Can you give them two places? There are only two or three people in the clan who can successfully pass the Scarlet Blood Palace examination, so why waste the places?" Shangguan Yunque said.
The head of the Shangguan family turned around with a look of helplessness on his face: "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to. Keeping one's word is a husband's principle, but this time it is a matter of life and death for the family, so we have to make an exception."
"However, Brother Su was very kind to the child. If he hadn't reminded me, I might have died in the hands of evil people. Those people clearly came for me." Shangguan Yunque felt uneasy.
The head of the Shangguan family sighed: "I can't decide this matter alone. Those old guys in the clan, in order to preserve their own bloodline, forcefully fight for quotas, even if they know they will fail, they still try. The resistance is too great."
"If a father insists on going his own way, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people. In this moment of family crisis, it is even more dangerous to be upset and divided in the heart. Therefore, I can only feel sorry for the younger generation of this generation. If Su Yuxian and Yuan Yingying are willing to stay in the Shangguan family, take more care of them.
That’s it.”
Shangguan Yunque's struggle was hopeless, and his eyes were full of despair.
After thinking for a long time, he rolled his eyes slightly and said goodbye.
Shangguan Qing'er was practicing in the garden. There was a drop of water between her eyebrows, emitting dense water vapor, which made Shangguan Qing'er fall into a hazy state.
"Sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. I have already cultivated the secret of water to the introductory level of making something out of nothing. I'm really not as good as you. I haven't been able to comprehend any of the secrets so far." Shangguan Yunque came up behind his sister.
Shangguan Qing'er opened her eyes, turned around, pursed her lips, and rolled her eyes: "You are idle all day long. Dad has spent so much effort to make you an intern disciple of the inner sect, but you are traveling around and making friends. It's weird.
Who can win? If you were half focused on martial arts, you would have broken through to the God Lord long ago. Your talent is not low."
Shangguan Yunque laughed at this.
"Okay, just tell me what you have to say. I'd like to express my gratitude to you if you have nothing to do." Shangguan Qing'er stood up gracefully, her slim figure wrapped in palace clothes with clear lines.
Shangguan Yunque coughed lightly: "I just want to ask, which elder is responsible for guiding my Shangguan family this time?"
Shangguan Qing'er said suspiciously: "You never care about this, why do you ask?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? You are the registered disciple of the Palace Master. You can browse the recruitment status at any time. I don't believe you haven't paid attention to who came to my Shangguan family this time." Shangguan Yunque urged.
Shangguan Qing'er rolled her eyes at him, rolled her eyes, and said mysteriously: "This year, he is not an elder, but an outer disciple who has accepted the task. Do you treat it as a task?"
"Disciple?" Shangguan Yunque frowned: "For such a big thing as recruiting disciples, who among the ordinary disciples is qualified? And he is an outer disciple... Hey, are you talking about the four demons from Demon Mountain?"
Shangguan Qing'er smiled half-heartedly: "That's the right answer. She is the demon from Demon Mountain, and she is also a female demon! She will be the one responsible for guiding him this year."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yunque's lips twitched and his pupils shrank. He was very afraid of the so-called four demons. Even though he was already in the inner sect, he was still afraid of these four in the outer sect.
"Brother Su, it's not that I won't help you this time, I really don't dare to help you. Those four monsters are more perverted than the last. I can't even run away when I see any one of them." Shangguan Yunque's mouth turned bitter.
He originally wanted to find out the identity of the envoy, introduce Su Yu and the two of them to the envoy in advance, and quietly take them away.
Who would have expected that those who appeared would actually be people from Demon Mountain.
Even Shangguan Yunque cannot afford to offend the four people in Demon Mountain.
——
In the wing, a group of geniuses came back silently, most of them with ugly faces.
The sudden blow caused them to fall into great confusion. Should they stay in the Shangguan family or leave?
They don't have to count on the number of places in the assessment. The Shangguan family's current situation makes it impossible for outsiders to take advantage of them.
"Damn it! I have worked hard for three years, but in the end, I still have to become a vassal of the Shangguan family. My ambition in life has nowhere to go." A second-grade flying immortal subconsciously beat the courtyard wall, very unwilling to do so.
Next to me, a woman who was also a second-grade Feixian sighed weakly: "Hey, maybe this is fate. It may not be a blessing for us to stay in the Shangguan family."
The woman's words comforted many people's hearts.
"Speaking of which, although there are many of us and we seem to be very powerful, there are only two or three people who are completely sure of succeeding in the examination. After all, the Scarlet Blood Palace's examination for recruiting external disciples is famous for its harshness. We at the Central University
Some people are just lucky, it would be better to stay in the Shangguan family than to be sent back to their hometown after failing the assessment."
The source of disciples in the Scarlet Blood Palace is external recruitment, which only accounts for 10%.
More than 90% of them are collected from within the seven major sects under its jurisdiction, such as the Soul Seizing Hall and other sects.
Every three years, a seven-sect competition will be held. Disciples of the lower sect (lower sect: the abbreviation of the seven sects under its jurisdiction) who perform well can voluntarily join the Scarlet Blood Palace.
In the Scarlet Blood Palace, this is equivalent to an internal move.
The internally recruited disciples come from the seven major lower sects. Regardless of their innocence or talent, they have already passed the next sect's assessment in advance and have time to test, so the recruitment conditions are very relaxed.
Internal recruitment is more labor-saving and convenient than external recruitment, and the potential of the disciples recruited is very amazing, so internal recruitment is more favored by the Scarlet Blood Palace.
On the contrary, external recruitment is particularly harsh. If ten people out of a hundred people can pass the test successfully, the passing rate for men will be considered good.
Among the twenty so-called geniuses, the only one who actually saw a chance to enter was Zhang Fan.
If he really had to make up the numbers, Su Yu had some hope.
Others can only rely on luck.
"No need to think about it, I choose to stay at Shangguan's house. It is much better than getting nothing." The crowd quickly accepted their fate.
Only Zhang Fan, Su Yu and Yuan Yingying did not make a choice.
"Brother Su, why don't we go back to Cangshanling and continue refining alchemy? With Brother Su's ability and my alchemy talent, as long as we persevere, we can be self-sufficient in terms of resources, and we don't have to live under the roof of the Shangguan family." Yuan Yingying returned.
In Su Yu's room, he held his chin with his hands and stared at the flickering candlelight, with disappointment hidden in his beautiful eyes.
The family's hope is all tied to her, but she has to go back like this.
Su Yu pondered and shook his head slowly: "No, if what the Shangguan family said is true, and all small forces outside the Eighteen Sects have been attacked, Cangshan Ridge will inevitably have this day. Returning to Cangshan Ridge is not the best strategy."
