Chapter 1668 Why is it impossible?
"Going to Guide Ancient City is my decision and order, not something I discussed with you." Ben Zhenying said calmly.
Those words spoken in an extremely calm tone were like lighting a gasoline barrel. Not only the old man who had argued with Ben Zhenying before, but several other elders also showed indignation. They all spoke out, some scolded, some advised, and some advised Ben Zhenying as an elder. The implicit meaning of their words was to tell Ben Zhenying not to insist on her own way, otherwise it would inevitably harm tens of thousands of disciples of Ertian Feixian Palace, and might even destroy the foundation that Qi Yakai had worked so hard to establish.
Looking at the elders who were talking excitedly, Ben Zhenying was about to say something, but suddenly saw a female swordsman in white clothes walked in, so she closed her lips and looked at the female swordsman.
"Elders, can you listen to me?" The female swordsman said to the elders.
"Bai Shimei, you've come at the right time. Come and persuade your senior brother. He is going to destroy the foundation that the Sword Saint has worked so hard to build..." When the elders saw the female swordsman, their eyes immediately lit up and they invited the female swordsman to join their camp to persuade Ben Zhenying together.
Qi Yakai has many disciples, but the only two who can truly inherit his true teachings are Ben Zhenying and Shiraishi Mei. Although Ben Zhenying inherited the position of Palace Master, Shiraishi Mei still has a very high status in Ertian Feixian Palace and has a good relationship with Ben Zhenying. Ben Zhenying should consider what she says more seriously.
"Elders, the Palace Master's decision is correct. We should go to the ancient city of Guide instead of the six major families." Bai Shimei's words stunned the elders.
"Bai Shimei, why are you going crazy with the Palace Master?" The elders looked at Bai Shimei in confusion.
"I'm not crazy, and the Palace Master is even less crazy. Guide Ancient City is our best choice, not the six major families." Bai Shimei said in a firm tone.
"Why?" The elders were even more puzzled. They really couldn't think of any reason why they would not choose the six major families, but choose a small ancient city of Guide that was affiliated with the An family.
"Because Zhou Wen is there." When saying this, there seemed to be a light flashing in Bai Shimei's eyes.
The elders looked stunned. This was the second time they had heard this sentence today. First, Ben Zhenying gave such an answer, and now Bai Shimei gave the same answer. The two mainstays of Ertian Feixian Palace both gave such answers, which was really hard for them to believe.
"Zhou Wen is indeed a character. There are also rumors in the outside world that he is the Thief King. Not to mention that he may not be the Thief King. Even if he is really the Thief King, the fact that he was not chosen by the other dimension only proves that his potential is limited. It is not worth it for us to bet the foundation of Ertian Feixian Palace on him..." An elder persuaded.
"The Third Elder is right. Besides, what kind of place is Guide Ancient City? It's full of strange dimensional realms, and the environment is just as harsh as the sea, if not more so. In the future, when the dimensional realms are largely unleashed, the situation may be even more difficult than at sea. To join them is like walking out of a wolf's den and into a tiger's lair, isn't that?"
"Absolutely not. Even if we were to consider going to Guide Ancient City, we should have contacted the An family in Luoyang directly. Wouldn't it be a step down if we just went to Guide Ancient City?"
"Guide Ancient City is definitely not a good place..."
The elders all started talking at once to persuade Bai Shimei. No matter how good the relationship between Bai Shimei, Ben Zhenying and Zhou Wen was, they did not think that it was a place worth gambling the foundation of Ertian Feixian Palace.
"What if Zhou Wen is the Human Emperor?" Bai Shimei suddenly said.
The elders who were originally talking excitedly suddenly became quiet, staring at Bai Shimei as if frozen, and even forgot to close their mouths while talking.
"What did you say just now?" An elder thought he must have heard it wrong, and asked Bai Shimei.
"If Zhou Wen is the Human Emperor, is he worthy of trust?" Bai Shimei said.
"Bai Shimei, don't talk nonsense just to convince us. When the Human Emperor killed Emperor Tian, Zhou Wen was less than twenty years old and his hair hadn't even grown out yet. How could he be the Human Emperor?"
"That's right, Zhou Wen can't possibly be the Human Emperor. Don't think you can fool us into agreeing to go to Guide Ancient City."
"Even if Zhou Wen is truly the Human Emperor, he wasn't chosen by the alternate dimension. It's unclear whether he can still compete with the spokesperson. Furthermore, two fists can't defeat four hands..."
Bai Shimei was stunned by what she said. She originally thought that as long as she told the elders the secret that Zhou Wen was the Human Emperor, she would definitely get their support, but she didn't expect this result.
Shiraishi Mei didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at Honma Sakura with a wry smile.
Ben Zhenying had guessed this would be the result a long time ago, so he had not revealed the secret that Zhou Wen was the Human Emperor. Firstly, it was useless, and secondly, it would easily cause trouble for Zhou Wen.
"Do you elders know why the sword art created by my master is called Ertian Feixianliu, and why this place is called Ertian Feixian Palace?" Seeing Bai Shimei's pleading eyes, Ben Zhenying spoke slowly.
"The Sword Saint once said that he received guidance from a master, so he was able to create the Ertian Feixianliu. As for why it is called Ertian Feixianliu, he never said..." An old man said thoughtfully.
Ertian Feixian Palace teaches everyone, and most of the disciples are actually recruited from other forces. There are not many disciples who are truly taught by Qi Yakai.
Especially in recent years, as the living environment overseas has become increasingly harsh, many small forces have flocked to the Ertian Feixian Palace in order to obtain Qi Yakai's protection.
Most of these elders were once the leaders of a region, and were not Qi Yakai's fellow disciples.
"You are right. Master was indeed able to create the Ertian Feixianliu due to the guidance of a master. Back then, I was just a teenager and followed Master to the mainland to practice. In the peony garden in Luoyang, I met an unparalleled powerful man." Ben Zhenying said.
"I know about this. It happened before the Ertian Feixian Palace was established. The Sword Saint went to travel on the mainland. At that time, the Sword Saint had reached a bottleneck in the way of the sword. He was only half a step away from creating the Ertian Feixian sword style. It was because he met that strong man and was defeated by him that he gained some insights. After returning, he created the Ertian Feixian style. The Palace Master, you should be talking about that time, right?" The elder with a yellow face recalled.
Ben Zhenying nodded slightly: "Exactly. Do you know who my master and I met at that time?"
"Of course he is a senior and respected master." said the yellow-faced elder.
"What if I say that the person we met was just a teenager about my age at the time, only fifteen or sixteen years old?" Ben Zhenying swept her eyes across everyone's faces and spoke word by word.
"Impossible!" The elders shouted in unison. They naturally refused to believe that such a thing could happen.
It was simply a fairy tale that a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old defeated Qi Yakai, who was already a half-step sword saint at that time.
"Why not?" A voice came from outside. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the voice. They all looked outside the door and saw Qi Yakai in plain clothes walking slowly towards them.
I didn’t expect that there were so many friends waiting for Twelve. Seeing everyone’s encouragement, I was moved and felt unworthy at the same time.
I would like to thank my friends for their monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and rewards. I would also like to thank the clown who wants to go to heaven for becoming the leader. I just want to ask, who is heaven?
