The distant and ethereal bells echoed between heaven and earth. When the disciples of Sixiang Peak heard the morning bells and evening drums, they immediately packed up their clothes and rushed out from their respective mountain gates, heading straight to the main hall of the Liuyun Sword Sect and locking the swords.
More than 8,000 disciples gathered in the square, neatly arranged in five square formations, like a well-disciplined army, making no sound, and very impressive.
Led by Sect Master Murong Xuan, a group of Xiantian elders stood above the square, looking at the densely packed group of disciples below with serious expressions. The atmosphere seemed extremely serious.
Lu Chen happened to be walking up from the bottom of the mountain. Seeing this familiar scene, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
I haven’t seen such a scene in a few days, and I feel quite nostalgic.
"Lu Chen!" Someone in the crowd in the square suddenly shouted, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was Qu Qingyang's voice.
As Qu Qingyang shouted, more than 8,000 disciples turned their heads and looked at Lu Chen, who had just returned to the sect from down the mountain, and all of them exclaimed.
"It's Junior Brother Lu who's back!"
"I'm so handsome!"
"No. 1 on the Hidden Dragon List, that's amazing!"
Facing the scorching eyes full of admiration, Lu Chen was suddenly startled, wondering, what's going on with everyone today?
After a while, he remembered what happened a few months ago. The Qianlong Competition seemed to have ended. If he guessed correctly, he should have won the first place, which was a great win for the sect.
, that’s why everyone shows this expression!
Qu Qingyang was too flamboyant, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know he was back, so he didn't know how to keep a low profile.
Facing countless admiring looks, Lu Chen was as calm as water, with a calm expression, and strode through the crowd. His whole body was majestic, and he was not affected by the many looks at all, as if he took fame and wealth very lightly.
When Murong Xuan saw this scene, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded secretly in his heart: "Honour or disgrace is not surprising, he is a talent that can be made!" He ranked first on the Qianlong List and became famous all over the world. Obtaining such a huge honor, if it were any other
Disciple, I'm afraid my tail will be raised to the sky.
But when Lu Chen faced the adoring and excited eyes of the sect disciples, he didn't have a trace of arrogance. His expression was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened. His mind was extremely determined and he was not surprised by honor or disgrace. Even if Murong Xuan saw this state of mind,
They all secretly praised him.
After a while, Lu Chen came to Murong Xuan and said respectfully: "Lu Chen, disciple of Qinglong Academy, meet the sect master and elders!"
"No need to be polite, just come back!" Murong Xuan waved his hand and said pleasantly.
"Yes!" Lu Chen responded.
Murong Xuan said with a smile: "This time, you did a good job and gave the Liuyun Sword Sect a good fight. I didn't expect that you would be silent and become a blockbuster. It's amazing!"
As the leader of a sect, he has extremely strict requirements for his disciples and rarely praises his disciples. But this time Lu Chen's amazing performance made him so satisfied that he couldn't help but praise him.
.
"It's the duty of a disciple!" Lu Chen was a little flattered and said humbly. He could bear the huge grievances and blows back then, and he can naturally bear this great honor today.
Many elders on the side looked at Lu Chen and smiled with praise.
Lu Chen's performance this time was so dazzling and outstanding. He broke through to the innate realm at the age of twenty-one. Looking at the training history of Liuyun Sword Sect, he was also an unprecedented genius. You know, he was so stunning and decisive back then.
The Peerless Sword Master reached Xiantian by chance only after he reached thirty years old, but Lu Chen achieved Xiantian nearly fifteen years faster than him.
Even looking at the long history of Kyushu, he is still a very dazzling genius.
What this means, the elders present know it better than anyone else.
A breakthrough to innate talent at such an early age has terrifying potential and unlimited future. With such a genius born in the sect, there is no need to worry about the sect not being prosperous in the future.
What is even more exciting is that in front of the whole world, Lu Chen defeated Ximen Qiuze, who had also entered the innate realm, and challenged all the top forces in the land of Kyushu with his domineering genius, and conquered the people of the world with his absolute strength. This kind of
The shocking feat is unprecedentedly magnificent and is the pride of everyone in Liuyun Sword Sect.
At this moment, Murong Xuan's expression changed and he shouted: "Su Xingbai, Li Feng, Teng Qinglei, Murong Ziyun, you four, come here!"
Su Xingbai, Li Feng, Teng Qinglei, and Murong Ziyun all smiled bitterly when they heard the sect leader's angry voice. They had no choice but to walk out of the crowd and began to prepare for the sect leader's rebuke.
"The four of you are all geniuses of the sect. The sect has high hopes for you and spends a lot of resources to cultivate you. However, your performance this time is really disappointing!" Murong Xuan looked at the four people below with a stern tone.
Quietly felt a little more depressed, and the more than 8,000 Jian Sect disciples did not dare to take a breath.
Li Feng, Su Xingbai, Teng Qinglei, and Murong Ziyun all looked a bit ugly. In front of everyone in the sect, the sect leader actually used such a stern tone to reprimand these arrogant geniuses. This was really disappointing.
The person is a bit embarrassed, and is afraid that he will not be able to hold his head high in the sect in the future.
Murong Xuan looked around the audience and continued: "I usually see how arrogant and arrogant you all are and think highly of yourself. I really thought you still had some abilities. I didn't expect that in the end, just like before, you were on the Qianlong List one after another.
Even if you can’t make it into the top twenty, the sect has given you a chance, but the result is still so disappointing!”
"As the sect leader, I have always made clear rewards and punishments. From today on, I will deprive the four of you of your status as core disciples and demote them to elite disciples. All of you will enter the Four Elephant Peaks and cultivate diligently. Murong Ziyun, your chief
The identity of the first disciple will also be taken away!"
"If Lu Chen hadn't turned the tide, our Sword Sect would have lost all face by you!"
"This time, Lu Chen is the biggest contributor to our Sword Sect. He used his absolute strength and talent to defend the glory of Sword Sect, blocking the faces of all those who dared to mock our Sword Sect, and allowing our Sword Sect to stand out in front of the people of the world.
Make a splash!”
"I announce that from today on, Lu Chen will be the chief disciple of my Sword Sect and lead the training of his disciples!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
The sect leader must have been too cruel. He scolded the four geniuses of the sect in front of everyone in the sect, and also deprived them of their status as core disciples. Instead, they changed their original status
The unknown Lu Chen was praised to the heavens, which is really unexpected.
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. The sect leader really thought highly of him. He didn't hesitate to belittle his proud disciple, and in turn praised himself. He actually came here.
A set. But to be honest, this set is quite useful.
"Lu Chen, senior brother!" Qu Qingyang waved his fist and shouted, looking very excited.
Following his shout, more than 8,000 disciples immediately shouted loudly: "Lu Chen!" "Big Brother" "Lu Chen" "Big Brother"
The earth-shaking sound resounded in the sky above Suo Jianfeng, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high and exciting.
"The years of Jian Zong's decline have been like a big stone weighing on everyone's hearts, making people breathless. Thanks to Lu Chen, the lucky star, the days of decline have passed, and Jian Zong should prepare to welcome glory!" Murong Xuan felt
Cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami came from below, and a smile bloomed on the majestic face.
Indeed, before Lu Chen became famous all over the world, Liuyun Sword Sect had always been looked down upon by others, and even declined to the point where it was almost withdrawn from the ranks of the eight major sects.
It was Lu Chen who rose like a comet, bringing unprecedented hope to the declining Sword Sect.
After the sect leader made these announcements, he allowed the sect disciples to cheer for a while and then asked them to retreat.
Lu Chen has made great achievements, and naturally, his identity and status in the sect have now risen to a very high level, second only to the sect master and many innate elders.
Due to his different status, the accommodation conditions were naturally changed accordingly. At the instruction of the sect master, he moved directly from Qinglong Courtyard and moved directly into an elegant courtyard next to the Suojianfeng Side Hall.
There are twenty servants arranged in the courtyard, a separate practice room, and some living utensils are all ready.
Even geniuses like Murong Ziyun had never enjoyed this level of treatment before. Lu Chen really stood out this time.
At around noon, Lu Chen moved into his own courtyard, which contained many rockery pavilions, pavilions and fish ponds. After looking around for a while, he couldn't help but secretly sigh: "Sure enough, no matter how much effort you put in, there will be great rewards!
The old man, the sect master, is really interesting."
Qu Qingyang followed and walked in. His eyes were dazzled when he saw the elegant environment inside, just like when grandma went to the garden. After a while, he said to Lu Chen with some envy: "Lu Chen, you kid is so good this time
You are considered to be a distinguished person. You will really enjoy living in such a big house with servants!"
"Enjoyment? Your idea is wrong. We martial arts practitioners cannot be greedy for enjoyment. If we don't advance in the path of cultivation, we will retreat!" Lu Chen said gently.
Hearing this, Qu Qingyang nodded: "That's true, but then again, when you should enjoy it, you should enjoy it. Who can bear it if you work hard all day long!"
"You guys are not bad in talent, but why are you so poor in strength? You just like to care too much about these frivolous things. Remember, in this world, strength is the last word!" Lu Chen laughed and scolded Qu Qingyang.
This kind of character also feels helpless.
Qu Qingyang listened with his left ear and said with his right ear: "Yes, you are right!"
"You live here alone, aren't you lonely? You usually don't have anyone to talk to you, that would be too boring."
"Haha, how about you move in? There are plenty of rooms here anyway!" Lu Chen shook his head and laughed.
Qu Qingyang was thick-skinned enough. When Lu Chen said this, he hit the snake with a stick and said with a shy smile: "I just said it casually, since you said so, I can't refuse, right?
