Song Hongyan looked at Li Zhiming, waiting for Li Zhiming's answer.

Li Zhiming felt a headache when he heard the title "Qilinzi".

He doesn't like to be high-profile. He prefers to practice quietly and become stronger silently.

But this is the sect master's reward after all. It would be somewhat ungrateful if I refused it.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Master. I will work harder in the future and contribute my strength to the sect."

Li Zhiming bowed in thanks.

"Okay, this is your token, take it."

Song Hongyan stretched out her hand, and a purple gold jade pendant floated towards Li Zhiming.

Li Zhiming took the token with both hands and bowed.

The moment his hand touched the token, he felt a warmth coming from it.

The true energy in his body accelerated involuntarily. This was obviously not a simple jade pendant, but a spiritual weapon made of precious jade!

"The leader of a sect is indeed generous!"

Li Zhiming showed a look of delight and put away the Qilin jade token, which symbolized his noble status.

Immediately afterwards, Song Hongyan continued to give orders.

"From now on, Zhenyuan Sect will be closed for half a month."

"Please ask all the peak masters to quickly recall all the disciples under your command who are outside. No disciples are allowed to go out during the closed sect period!"

"Where is the head of the Punishment Hall?"

"I am here."

Mu Rujie bowed.

"From now on, recheck and count all the names of the sect members in the past fifty years. Remember, this includes not just the disciples, but everyone!"

"clear!"

Mu Rujie nodded.

This is a preparation for a thorough self-examination to uncover all the spies hiding in the Zhenyuan Sect.

After Song Hongyan finished speaking, her eyes swept over everyone below.

Now that this order has been issued, the rats hiding in the sect will definitely not sit still and wait for death, they will definitely take action.

If we don’t act now, we will be doomed to fail after closing the sect and conducting self-inspection.

If we act tonight, there is still a glimmer of hope.

But Song Hongyan grasped the hearts of these people and forced them to take action.

As early as a few days ago, after the news came out from the trial road, he had already made plans in secret.

Under the investigation of the Black Armored Guards, she had quietly pulled out six spies.

Next, there will be a big purge!

She wants to completely wipe out the Zhenyuan Sect!

After Mu Rujie received the order, Song Hongyan continued, "The distribution of rewards for this trial road will be handled by the Elder Council. All disciples are requested to go to the Elder Council of Zhongshan Peak within three days to claim their own rewards."

"In addition, the top ten disciples in this trial will go to the sect's inheritance site one month later to receive the inheritance."

"clear!"

All the disciples said in unison, each showing excitement.

Aren’t they participating in the Trial Road just waiting for this moment?

After everyone calmed down, Li Zhiming bowed and said, "Master, I have something to report."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"This is an iron coffin found on the Trial Road. There is also a corpse inside. Please take a look, Sect Master."

Li Zhiming took out the iron coffin.

The moment the iron coffin appeared, the faces of all the sect leaders became solemn.

Because they could tell at a glance that this iron coffin was no ordinary object.

"The iron coffin in the road of trial?"

"There is such a thing on the Trial Road?"

“…”

Song Hongyan fell from the sky and landed in front of the iron coffin. She lowered her head to check it out and her expression became more solemn.

Then she looked at Li Qingyue.

Li Qingyue nodded.

“…”

Song Hongyan understood what he meant and knew that this was the coffin of Zheng Qitian, the first deputy leader of Zhenyuan Sect.

Few people in the sect knew about Zheng Qitian.

Now, those who know about Zheng Qitian’s incident are all the elders of Zhenyuan Sect, such as the Great Elder, Shi Bujue, Yang Huan and the like.

"This thing is not ordinary. I will investigate it carefully. If it is very valuable, I will reward you handsomely."

Song Hongyan said simply, and then put the iron coffin away.

"That iron coffin, could it be...?"

Shi Bujue frowned slightly, as if he remembered something.

"Li Zhiming, if you have anything else to say, just tell me."

Song Hongyan said.

“What to do with these people?”

Li Zhiming looked at Huang Yun.

"Leave these two to me, and the rest will be in the charge of the Punishment Hall."

Song Hongyan ordered.

"Yes, sir."

"Third Commander, arrest him!"

Mu Rujie gave the order.

Xiao Miaomiao waved his hand, and the disciples from the Punishment Hall behind him went up to take away all the disciples except Xuan Tianchen and Huang Yun.

"Everyone, the road of trial ends here."

"I believe that you have all gained a lot from this trial. I hope you will continue to practice diligently and forge ahead."

After Song Hongyan finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot.

"Everyone, disperse!"

The great elder Qiao Wanli waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, all the disciples left.

"Huh...it's finally over."

Qin Chuan let out a long sigh of relief, put his hands behind his head, and looked relaxed.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Li, for becoming the sect's Qilin Son. You will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Junior Brother Li, congratulations."

Li Changfeng and Liang Meng came over to congratulate them.

"It's just luck that I'm appreciated by the sect leader," Li Zhiming said modestly.

“This is not luck.”

"Besides, luck is also part of strength, isn't it?"

Li Changfeng smiled, then he took a step back and saluted, "Junior Brother Li, the trial road has ended, I will take my leave now. I will definitely invite you to Danfeng for a drink when I have time."

"good."

Li Zhiming nodded.

At this time, Li Qingyue passed by Li Zhiming.

She turned her head and looked at Li Zhiming, her long hair fluttering slightly, her blue eyes as bright as lake water, "Li Zhiming, you won the trial road, but the competition between us has just begun!"

After Li Qingyue said this, he jumped up and flew towards Zhongshan Peak.

After returning to Qingluan Peak, Li Zhiming did not stop for a moment, but went straight to the cave he had opened in the back mountain to meditate.

[Whether to use Qi, blood and true Qi]

【whether】

Li Zhiming sat cross-legged and nodded yes without hesitation.

[200w true energy is being injected...]

[200w Qi and blood are being injected...]

Li Zhiming felt two forces surging into his body, and a feeling of comfort went straight to the top of his head.

He closed his eyes and began to absorb massive amounts of blood and true energy.

…

Tang Empire, western border, Black Cloud Mountain.

In the deep mountains and forests where few people go, there is a series of wooden houses hidden.

This building is surrounded by a space barrier, and even the first-class demons entrenched here dare not get close to it!

The wooden house located in the center of the terrain was dark.

"My Lord, there is news from Zhenyuan Sect."

A light female voice came from outside the house.

"Come in."

Squeak~

The door opened, and a woman in a tight black robe knelt on one knee, "Master, we lost thirty of the eighty-six hidden pieces placed in Zhenyuan Sect."

"Zhenyuan Sect...?"

"Thirty, are you sure?"

A vicissitudes and hoarse voice came from the darkness, with some doubts in it.

"Confirmed, all twenty-four of the soul jades were shattered at an early time."

"The other six pieces shattered a few days ago, and another eight soul jades have dimmed. I'm afraid they are in danger as well." The woman replied.

"This period of time is when the Zhenyuan Sect's trial road is open. Has our plan in the Zhenyuan Sect failed?"

"It probably failed. If it succeeded, there should have been news of it long ago."

"What's going on over at Zhenyuan Sect?" the man asked again.

"The sect is closed."

"Close the sect..."

"Abandon all the pawns of Zhenyuan Sect, and withdraw all the people around Zhenyuan Sect."

"Our arrangements in Zhenyuan Sect are no longer meaningful. You must gather people immediately and prepare to go to the Northern Wilderness. The first target is still Li Zhiming!" the man said slowly.

"There is something I don't understand."

"explain."

"Why does the Lord insist on capturing Li Zhiming alive?"

"Because he has what I need."

"Is it the things you have comprehended in Zangbei Valley?" the woman asked again.

"You are very clever."

"Go and prepare. Once Zhenyuan Sect lifts the blockade, you will immediately lead your people to the Northern Wasteland."

"I will give you two guardians and four elders. You are only allowed to succeed, not fail!"

"Remember, wherever Li Zhiming is, the primary goal must be to capture him alive!"

The man reminded, emphasizing the three words "Li Zhiming" on purpose.

"I understand!"

When the woman heard the two guardians, her expression suddenly changed.

She left the room in a hurry, with turmoil in her heart.

"What on earth did Li Zhiming get from the depths of the Monument Valley?"

"The Lord is actually sending four elders and two guardians to encircle and suppress Li Zhiming!"

The woman was filled with doubts.

You know, the elders are all second-grade fighters, and the protectors are first-grade warriors, and some of them have even stepped half a foot into the realm of grandmaster!

Isn't it like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut to use these people to deal with the younger generation of disciples of Zhenyuan Sect?

After the woman left, the man in the cabin murmured softly.

"The third-order stone tablet, Taiqing Heart Method, I must get you!"
