"The auspicious time has arrived, respectfully welcome the Sword Master from the Palace!"
As soon as this word fell, the 100,000 formal disciples standing solemnly in the field all knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Welcome to the Sword Master of Lidian!"
"Welcome to the Sword Master of Lidian!"
“…”
At the same time, the servant disciples on the viewing platform also prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting loudly.
"Welcome to the Sword Master of Lidian!"
“…”
“Dangdangdang…”
Eight heavy bell sounds resounded through the mountains, mixed with the shouts, causing Lu Mufeng and others, the only ones watching the ceremony, to not dare to speak anymore, for fear of disturbing the scene.
After the shout, a figure flashed on the throne at the highest point of the square, and a graceful figure in white appeared.
The beautiful figure was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly. Only a pair of cold eyes were left, looking down at the entire scene.
With just one glance, Lu Mufeng felt as if he was being stared at by some extremely terrifying existence. He felt cold all over and was unable to move.
He froze for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, worrying about himself.
lunar!
That must be Taiyin!
Although the woman sitting on the high platform looked like the female cultivator who broke through the illusion and rescued them, the look in her eyes was definitely not that female cultivator's.
Jiang Yi also turned his head away like Lu Mufeng, but his movements were much calmer than Lu Mufeng's.
He was very familiar with Xiang Sheng's personality, so how could he be inferior to others?
I just don't know who Xiang Sheng is trying to target by playing this trick on him this time.
Thinking of this, he sighed silently.
It seems like I can never be of any help.
At the same time, in the main peak square.
The more than 100,000 formal disciples in the field were not very old, and when they saw the Sword Master appear on the throne, they did not think there was anything wrong.
The core disciples from each branch on both sides of the square who had participated in the Wind Sword Master Ceremony were all stunned.
Palace Master Feng sat firmly on the high platform back then, upright and honest, and there was no such thing as hiding his face.
Are all the rumors circulating outside true?
Before they could think about it, the various major vein leaders had already stood up. Except for the eight major veins who stood and saluted, the other vein leaders all knelt on the ground like formal disciples and said loudly:
"Meet the Sword Master of Lidian!"
“…”
The elders from each branch had no objection, so the core disciples naturally did not dare to act presumptuously and quickly knelt down.
"Meet the Sword Master of Lidian!"
"Meet the Sword Master of Lidian!"
“…”
The loud sounds dispersed the clouds in the sky and cleared up the sky.
Golden light sprinkled on the throne, as if it was covered with a layer of golden clothes.
When the shouting died down, the vague figure sitting quietly on the throne finally spoke:
"Good, everyone get up."
This voice seemed to carry a smile, but it also made people feel inexplicably cold, as if a knife wrapped in cold wind was scraping past the ear, causing many formal disciples with low cultivation to shiver.
There were also a few core disciples who were less cunning and their expressions changed slightly, as if they were dissatisfied.
At this time, the elder in charge of ceremonies stepped forward and seemed to be asking something.
The blurry figure just waved her hand, as if to shoo away a fly.
The ceremonial elder's face looked a little grim, but it returned to normal in just a moment. He took a step forward and said loudly:
“Sword Master’s Reward.
Menial disciple, one top-grade spirit stone.
Outer disciples, one hundred high-grade spirit stones.
Inner disciples, 500 high-grade spirit stones.
Core disciple, three thousand high-grade spirit stones.
True disciple, top-grade spirit stones from all directions.
I hope you will practice diligently, never give up your ambition, and finally walk on the true path!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples knelt down again to express their gratitude.
"Disciple kneels to thank Master Sword Master for his praise!"
"Disciple kneels to thank Master Sword Master for his praise!"
“…”
The Sword Master Ceremony came to an end with voices kneeling in thanks. The blurry figure on the throne disappeared instantly after the elder presiding over the ceremony said, "The ceremony is over."
Seeing this, the core disciples became increasingly dissatisfied.
There are so many things they are dissatisfied with that they don't even know where to start.
The routine rewards for the Sword Master Ceremony were already limited, and the share given by Uncle Master was not low.
But the words of encouragement after the reward should be given by Uncle Li himself. How can the elder in charge of ceremonies do it for him?
Furthermore, their sword-cultivating disciples, whether from the inner or outer sects, are divided into ordinary disciples and sword-cultivating disciples. How can the rewards be generalized?
The last time Uncle Feng was promoted to Palace Master, the rewards were distributed very finely, not as roughly as today.
Moreover, after the reward, the new sword master should select two or three of Li Zhen's disciples and core disciples to be personally taught.
This step is what they have been looking forward to the most since the news of the Sword Master Ceremony spread.
Unexpectedly, Master Uncle Li actually canceled this step!
He didn't care about his identity as "Sword Master" at all.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they cannot change the facts. They can only hold their breath and exit in an orderly manner.
In the Yuan Jianmai viewing seats, Fang Qingcang looked up at the empty throne high up, his brows furrowed, with doubt and even a little confusion in his eyes.
More than a year ago, he had come into contact with this new sword master and gave him an extremely precious healing pill.
He had always had a very good impression of him, but seeing his behavior today, he remembered the rumors that had been circulating around the city recently...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiang Jianjue who was sitting quietly not far away.
Did this child know at that time that He was Taiyin?
He couldn't help but think about it, but in his impression, this kid shouldn't be so despicable.
Or... Xiang Jianjue hid it too deeply, and even he couldn't see it?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.
Fang Qingcang sighed secretly, rumors can hurt people.
He turned his gaze and saw Li Changting beside Xiang Jianjue.
Seeing that he was still happily talking in a low voice with Xiang Jianjue, looking completely unconcerned, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
This little bastard, it’s already this time, and he’s still so heartless?
"Changting!"
Suddenly hearing this angry shout, Li Changting's eyelids jumped, and he immediately put away his smile, stood up and said seriously:
"Master, what are your instructions?"
Fang Qingcang looked at Xiang Jianjue, and after a moment of silence, he finally suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Take the people back to the mountain!"
Li Changting quickly responded and asked his disciples to leave.
Xiang Jianjue also stood up, but before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at the throne on the platform.
The disappointment in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
At the same time, in the Xuanjianmai viewing area.
Pei Shi exchanged glances with his fellow junior brothers and sisters who had been trapped in the illusion valley together, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
They were rescued by Xiang Sheng and were the least likely to believe the rumors from the outside world. However, everything that happened today seemed to confirm the rumors from the outside world.
"Uncle Li, could it be that he was harmed by Taiyin?"
Pei Shi felt heavy in his heart and couldn't help but think in a bad direction.
He looked up at the tall figure sitting in the front row.
Master also knows about the illusion in the valley, so doesn’t he have any doubts in his heart?
Unfortunately, the current situation is not suitable, so I can only go back and ask my master again.
