"Why, do you think there is something wrong with this sect leader's decision?" When everyone was confused, the sect leader Liao Yan said calmly again, with a look of pride flashing on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his decision to kill two birds with one stone.
"Sect Master, you must not do it. The two of you just killed my direct disciple, and you ask me to take him under your command again. This...this...how does this make me behave?" Xiao Zhenhai was the first to jump out to object. At the moment, he and he
The grudge between the two boys has not yet been cleared up, so it is impossible for them to become master and apprentice.
"That's right, I don't want to accept these two vicious boys as my disciples!" Lu Hao also disagreed, for the same reason as Xiao Zhenhai.
Although there was no serious enmity between them and Shen Chen, after all, they had a falling out so quickly that there would no longer be a master-disciple relationship.
"I hope the sect leader will think twice. After this battle, the two elders must have a grudge against the two little guys and may not treat them sincerely in the future. If the sect master is willing to make an exception, Situ Ya is willing to accept them!"
"Sect Master, I'm afraid this matter is not in line with the rules of the Liuyun Sect. The sect rules state that the direct disciples of the five elders must be at least the sixth level of the Blood Fusion Realm..."
Situ Ya and Chen Fanghao also made suggestions one after another. They had different starting points, but they were both opposed to Shen Chen. Wang Yue became a disciple of Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao.
Situ Chuan was the only one on the side who didn't say anything. The old man stroked his beard and chuckled, seeming to have guessed the sect master's intention.
As the parties involved, Shen Chen and Wang Yue were unable to say anything at this time.
To be honest, the two of them were unwilling to join the sect of those two old foxes, and no one wanted to fall into a pit of fire, but Shen Chen knew very well that if he and Wang Yue made a fuss at this time, it would be equivalent to not giving the sect leader face.
, and Liao Yan has obviously been helping them just now. Even if Shen Chen is ignorant, he should know the seriousness of the situation.
After finally being able to calm down the dispute, Shen Chen did not want to make the matter bigger again. Although he was not afraid of Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao, he did not want to confront two old guys at the eleventh level of the Blood Fusion Realm. Otherwise, he would only suffer in the end.
.
Wang Yue had always followed Shen Chen's footsteps. Seeing that his elder brother did not make a sound, he also pretended to turn a deaf ear and allowed a group of elders to argue.
However, this chaotic situation did not last long, and soon Liao Yan spoke up and made a final decision on the matter.
"This matter has been decided by me. You don't need to say anything. From today on, inner disciple Shen Chen will belong to Elder Xiao's sect. Inner disciple Wang Yue will belong to Elder Lu's sect. After the death of Lin Hai and several disciples, who will be the next one?
Don't mention it again!" Liao Yan said lightly, his tone was not high, but there was an unquestionable meaning in his tone.
"Haha, Article 172 of the Liuyun Sect's sect rules stipulates that unless the five elders unanimously agree, anyone who disobeys the sect leader's order will be killed without mercy! I have no objections to the sect leader's arrangement!"
Later, Situ Chuan was the first to speak up and support Liao Yan. After he expressed his stance, there was basically no room for maneuver in this matter. The lack of one of the five elders was no longer enough to change the order of the sect leader.
"Well, I also agree. The so-called rules are dead and people are alive. This is indeed the best of both worlds!" The bloodthirsty lion nodded immediately, with a look of regret flashing in his eyes. Naturally, he also hoped that Shen Chen was accepted as a disciple, but now, it is no longer possible.
"Okay! I hope the two elders can put aside their past grudges and treat these two little guys sincerely and kindly!" The disappointment in the eyes of Situ Ya, the jade-faced demon fox, was the strongest. Shen Chen was her most valued disciple. Even Phantom Foxtrot gave She chose the latter, but now, Shen Chen passed her by.
"well…"
Seeing that the situation was over, Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao looked at each other and sighed.
However, Xiao Zhenhai, the bloody-handed madman, was still a little unwilling. He turned to Liao Yan with an ugly face and said: "The sect master has made this arrangement, and I dare not violate it. However, I have spent my whole life respecting only heroes. It is not easy to inherit my mantle." , If the successor is a mediocre person, I am willing to die to disobey him!"
"Yes, I don't want to teach what I have learned throughout my life to mediocre people. At worst, Elder Xiao and I will voluntarily give up our positions as elders, retire to the back mountains, and spend the rest of our lives guarding the Liuyun Sect. In this way, we can be considered worthy of our ancestors. Come on!" The green-faced wolf was equally tough and refused to compromise.
Their intentions were very obvious. They did not dare to violate the order of the sect master, but they also had to stick to their own principles.
In fact, Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao's behavior was normal. In Tianlong Continent, no warrior was willing to pass on what he had learned throughout his life to an incompetent junior. The more powerful the warrior, the more stringent the requirements for the selection of disciples.
"Well! The wishes of the two elders are understandable. How about this? We will make a bet here today. Within three months, both Shen Chen and Wang Yue will do everything possible to rank among the top five inner disciples. , Such an achievement should not be an insult to the two elders, right?" Sect leader Liao Yan thought for a while and said.
"To be among the top five of the inner sect, they are all the best among the people within a thousand miles of Luo Yuncheng. Of course, we have no objection, but... what if the two of them cannot be among the top five of the inner sect in three months?" Xiao Zhenhai said solemnly.
"Yes, what if you can't do it?" Lu Hao also agreed.
The sect master has made reasonable concessions, so they can no longer stubbornly insist on it. Moreover, the two elders are convinced that it is almost impossible to be among the top five in the inner sect within three months against the two boys at the fourth level of the Blood Fusion Realm. Completed tasks.
You know, although Liuyun Sect is an ordinary sect in Luo Yuncheng, there are also many outstanding disciples, and the inner sect is even more distinguished. Although they don't know how those two boys killed Lin Hai before, they are among the top five in the inner sect. They all know the difficulty of it.
With this premise, Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao are not afraid of the two boys fishing in troubled waters, and can even create some difficulties for the two boys in an open and honest manner...
"Haha, if they fail to rank among the top five of the inner sect in three months, without the two elders having to say anything, this sect leader will personally destroy their third-level cultivation and then expel them from Liuyun Sect!" Liao Yan laughed playfully! road.
"Sect Master, are you serious about what you said?" Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao were overjoyed.
“I am absolutely not lying, everyone present can testify!”
"Okay, it's a deal!"
…
When they left the main hall of Yunlan Peak and returned to their residence, both Shen Chen and Wang Yue had ugly expressions on their faces.
The previous bet basically cut off their escape route. In the next three months, if they could not rank among the top five in the inner sect, they would not only be expelled from the sect, but their cultivation would also be brought back to its original form. To the point where he was at the first level of Blood Fusion Realm when he first came to Liuyun Sect.
Anyone would be unhappy with this kind of thing, but Shen Chen didn't blame the sect leader. He knew that if Liao Yan didn't do that, the two elders might not really leave in anger, but there would definitely be cracks in the sect's senior leadership.
This is what Liao Yan, the leader of Liuyun Sect, does not want to see. All Liao Yan can do is to buy time for him and Wang Yue.
"Brother! Are you sure you will be able to join the inner sect in three months?" On the wooden bed, Wang Yue tossed and turned, turning to ask Shen Chen beside him, his tone a little guilty.
"I don't have a problem. It's you that I should be worried about right now!" Shen Chen was speechless. This guy knew what he was asking and obviously wanted to help him be brave.
Immediately Shen Chen said casually: "Don't worry, I will definitely take one of the top four positions, and leave the fifth to you."
Before that, Shen Chen had successfully killed Lin Hai, who was ranked fifth in the inner sect, with his own strength. Now that his cultivation level has greatly increased, if Lin Hai can survive, he can also defeat him easily. Next, he will face The disciple who used to be ranked sixth and was now automatically promoted to fifth after Lin Hai's death, Shen Chen, is naturally not to mention.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Shen Chen to obtain the fifth rank in the inner sect.
But if he really does this, what will Wang Yue do? Shen Chen occupies the fifth place, we can't let Wang Yue challenge Shen Chen again and then brush him off, right?
Therefore, Shen Chen's lowest goal right now must be the top four in the inner sect!
"Well! Since you are so confident, brother, I won't embarrass you!" Wang Yue nodded heavily.
…
After the bet made by the sect leader Liao Yan and the two elders, what happened in Yingchoujian finally came to an end.
In the next few days, the news of Lin Hai's death spread like wildfire throughout the Liuyun Sect. In just four or five days, everyone knew about it.
"What, Senior Brother Lin Hai is dead?!"
"Which Lin Hai? It can't be that senior brother Lin Hai from the inner sect, right? How did he die?"
"Oh, I'm really jealous of talents. I heard that Senior Brother Lin Hai died under the siege of the Armored Rhinoceros. Being able to provoke the Armored Rhinoceros alone, Senior Brother Lin Hai will be proud even if he dies."
Once the news spread, naturally all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky. Under Yunlan Peak, in the square in front of Zixia Palace where outer disciples often gathered, nearly a thousand outer disciples discussed various versions of the story.
Since they were in the outer sect, they naturally had limited access to information from the inner sect, so there would inevitably be discrepancies. However, some guys were so blind that rumors spread everywhere.
However, soon, some well-informed people also spread the truth.
As soon as Shen Chen's killing of Lin Hai was revealed, there was an uproar among the outer disciples and deacons.
"Tch, what are these guys talking nonsense? Senior Brother Lin Hai was obviously killed, okay? I heard that the person who killed him was the inner disciple Shen Chen who had previously fought a draw with him..."
"What? This...this...how is this possible?!"
"This is impossible, that's Senior Brother Lin Hai!"
"That's right, as the disciple and successor of Elder Xiao, the bloody-handed madman, who can kill him?"
"Hmph! What's impossible? Senior Brother Lin Hai's remains have been buried. How can this be false? Don't look at Senior Brother Shen Chen like you are a frog in a well. He did stay at the outer gate a month ago. , but now it’s no longer what it used to be!”
"Wow, Senior Brother Shen Chen is really awesome and ruthless!"
"Tsk, tsk, it's only been more than a month since I entered the inner sect, and I've made such a move. Senior Brother Shen Chen's future is boundless..."
Just as the news was spreading wildly among the outer disciples, in the house where the outer disciples lived, a burly young man was huddled in the corner, his eyes full of fear, and his whole body was shaking slightly. trembling.
It was Liu Yong who had been defeated by Wang Yue and transferred to the outer sect.
"Senior Brother Lin Hai is dead...dead...dead...killed by Shen Chen..." Liu Yong's face was dull and pale, and he was mumbling something tremblingly, as if he had lost his soul.
Lin Hai's death had a great impact on him. At this point, Liu Yong finally realized that he had provoked a ruthless character who could not compete with him...
The outer sect is spreading wildly about Shen Chen's various deeds, but in the inner sect, these inner sect disciples are relatively calm. Although that incident also shocked them, most of the inner sect disciples took it as an example. Buried in my heart.
In addition, the most discussed topic among the inner disciples right now is the bet between the sect leader and the two elders.
After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. After Lin Hai's death, some subsequent situations also caused a lot of commotion among the inner disciples. Many people wanted to know how the higher-ups were going to handle this matter. After all, many brothers died. .
In order not to cause unnecessary criticism, the sect leader Liao Yan later spread the word about the bet through the mouths of some important disciples. As a result, most of the inner disciples have now turned their attention to the bet.
"Do you think Shen Chen and Wang Yue can be among the top five inner sects in just three months?"
"I think this matter is very suspenseful. Senior Sister Zhong Ling, who is ranked fourth, is at the seventh level of the Blood Fusion Realm. She has always been on top of Senior Brother Lin Hai, and her ranking has never wavered. It is extremely difficult for them to get two top five rankings! "
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhong Ling is much more powerful than Senior Brother Lin Hai, but Senior Sister Zhong Ling is not as sharp as Senior Brother Lin Hai. She has always been very low-key."
"Calculating the time, many senior brothers and sisters in the inner sect who are ranked high in the inner sect are about to come back after going out for training. In three months, it will be the day of the sect's five-year competition. No wonder the sect master chose the time at that time...
