The Black Armor Guards are subordinate to the clan leader and only obey his orders.

They are the real elite among the elites. Each of them is a berserker with a hot temper and strong combat power.

The leader in front of him was naturally a black-armored guard captain, whose status was equivalent to that of a direct disciple.

A milky white light flashed across Li Zhiming's eyes.

By attaching the primordial energy to the eyes, one can detect the other person's realm.

Li Zhiming has tried this method many times and it has always worked for him.

Sixth level perfection!

As expected, he is the captain of the Black Armor Guard, quite interesting.

"Captain of the Black Armor Guard, Xiao Yong!"

The man folded his arms and held his head high and spoke with a confident and proud tone.

"Who are you and do you know where this place is?" Xiao Yong asked.

"Captain Xiao, what you said, since I'm here, how could I not know where this place is?" Li Zhiming said with a faint smile.

"Oh, are you also a direct disciple? Why have I never seen you before?" Xiao Yong asked.

"I was just promoted to a direct disciple today, so Captain Xiao naturally has never seen me before."

"I am Li Zhiming, the new disciple of Qingluan Peak."

Li Zhiming showed his identity token, his voice powerful and full of momentum.

"Li Zhiming?!"

"Li Zhiming!"

"Li Zhiming?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples who were watching were stunned for a moment, and then looked shocked.

"Li Zhiming, isn't he the traitor who was caught earlier and demoted to a menial servant in Xuyuan Prison after his cultivation was abolished?!"

"I just saw the notice today. Li Zhiming was slandered. He has been reinstated as a disciple. But how did he become a direct disciple?"

"There's something fishy going on!" Someone spread his hands.

"I've heard about this. Li Zhiming performed outstandingly in Xuyuan Prison, especially during the Xuyuan riot some time ago. Li Zhiming made great contributions and was highly regarded by the elders of Xuyuan Prison. After his status was restored, Qingluan Peak promoted Li Zhiming to be a direct disciple in order to commend him. That's roughly it." A disciple made a very detailed analysis.

"But, Li Zhiming's cultivation has been abolished after all. What's the point of promoting him to be a direct disciple? It's better to leave the position for someone more useful."

"Who knows, maybe Qingluan Peak places more emphasis on friendship."

"Nonsense, if we really value friendship and loyalty, when Li Zhiming was suddenly tried by the Penalty Hall, there wouldn't be only one person from Qingluan Peak who stood up to speak for him."

Everyone was chattering and discussing non-stop.

"Li Zhiming..." Xiao Yong narrowed his eyes.

"So it's you. You've been quite famous in the past six months. You were first found to be colluding with evil heretics, and were tried by the Punishment Hall. Your cultivation was abolished, and you were later demoted to a menial servant in Xuyuan Prison."

"As a result, he was appreciated by the elders in Xuyuan Prison, and later made contributions during the riot. Today, he was rehabilitated and his status and reputation were restored."

"This experience is quite legendary."

"But your cultivation has been abolished. How can you become a direct disciple?"

"Don't blame me for looking down on you. It is impossible for someone without sufficient talent and realm to become a personal disciple, so I have reason to suspect that your token is a fake!"

Xiao Yong walked to Li Zhiming's face, stared into his eyes with a smile, trying to see any trace of lies in Li Zhiming's eyes.

But Li Zhiming just smiled faintly, his eyes were as calm as water, without any ripples.

"It's quite interesting. You are quite good at pretending."

Xiao Yong snatched the token from Li Zhiming's hand.

Li Zhiming did not resist, but just smiled at Xiao Yong, waiting for the slap in the face.

Xiao Yong held the token in his palm, injected true energy into it, and then exerted force suddenly.

The imagined token shattering did not occur.

Xiao Yong's brows tightened slightly.

After a moment, he opened his palm, and the token made of gold and jade was intact, and the surface was still shiny.

“It’s actually true.”

Xiao Yong's face gradually became ugly.

"Captain Xiao, have you finished reading it? Give it back to me."

Li Zhiming smiled and stretched out his hand.

The slap in the face came so quickly that Xiao Yong felt like he had eaten a fly.

But he refused to give in and decided to put up a fight.

"Haha, just because I can't crush it doesn't necessarily mean it's true."

"I'll take this token first. I'll return it to you after I send it to the Punishment Hall for inspection."

Xiao Yong shook the Qingluan Golden Order in his hand.

"?"

When Li Zhiming heard this, his eyes changed slightly.

It's really an act of provocation.

"Bring it here!"

Li Zhiming's palm was as fast as lightning, and a black shadow flashed by.

The Qingluan Golden Order in Xiao Yong's hand disappeared.

“So fast?!”

Xiao Yong looked solemnly at Li Zhiming's hand. The Qingluan Golden Order had been taken back by the other party.

This speed must be at least the middle stage of the sixth rank!

"Captain Xiao, you know very well whether this token is real or fake."

"Of course, if you really want to play dumb, that's not impossible."

"I just need to place the token on the barrier of this formation, and the truth will be clear."

“…”

Xiao Yong's face became more and more ugly.

I was a little impulsive today. It was unbelievable that Li Zhiming could recover his strength in such a short time.

"So what if your token is real?"

"You should know that the young master entered three days ago, and we were ordered to protect his safety."

"So, you can only go in when the young master comes out."

Xiao Yong thought for a moment and came up with another idea.

"It seems that Captain Xiao is not convinced."

"However, the deep part of this Monument Valley can be entered by anyone who is a direct disciple. Why can the young sect master enter but I can't?" Li Zhiming asked.

"Haha, you really can't get in." Xiao Yong replied with a laugh.

"Then why do I have to go in today?!"

As soon as Li Zhiming finished speaking, he raised his hand and injected true energy into the Qingluan Golden Order, preparing to open the formation barrier.

"Bold lunatic!"

"You dare to break in by force. We have reason to suspect that you are a spy who is deliberately plotting to murder the young master!"

Xiao Yong's expression suddenly changed, and a strong aura burst out from his body.

Huh~!

The fluctuations of true energy created a gust of wind that blew up Li Zhiming's hair and clothes.

The coldness in Li Zhiming's eyes grew stronger.

It seems that a battle is inevitable today.

It just so happens that I can use this black-armored guard captain to practice and see the results of my training in Xuyuan Prison!

"Captain Xiao, do you think that Zhenyuan Sect is owned by your family?"

"I have the personal disciple token. I can go in if I want. Who dares to stop me?"

Li Zhiming's voice was cold, and an equally violent wave of true energy slowly spread out, carrying the chill in the air.

The situation suddenly became tense.

The surrounding space froze, and the atmosphere was as tense as a guitar string that was about to break!
