Jiang Zhenye coldly surveyed the eight guardian elders in the hall. Even at this moment, they remained as steady as a rock, unmoved. No wonder the two younger Zhou family members mocked him for being a victim. At this moment, he himself felt like a victim.
The Suzaku Divine Sect is a large and powerful sect that needs to be guarded by people with high cultivation. As long as the sect disciples are promoted to the Danyuan realm, they will automatically be promoted to become sect elders and enjoy the offerings of the sect elders.
The more Danyuan Realm elders a sect has, the stronger the sect is.
As long as he advanced to the Dan Yuan realm after more than 200 years, he would have at least 500 to 600 years to live. If nothing unexpected happened, he could basically rely on the sect to support him until his death.
Elder Feng looked around, feeling disheartened for his fellow apprentice and the sect. He shook his head and said, "Brother, since Elder Lu is unwilling to go, I will go. However, remember to assign his share of the next few months to my name."
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Feng."
Elder Feng gave Elder Lu a provocative smile, then flashed to the center of the hall. He stomped his foot lightly, activating the teleportation array. The next moment, he appeared in mid-air at the entrance to the mountain.

Zhou Yanzhi looked at the latecomer, who was about forty years old and in the late Danyuan realm, with an expressionless face.
Elder Feng laughed, "Don't be surprised, nephew Zhou! The Dan Yuan realm elders in the sect have all worked hard to climb to the top through years of hardship, and now they all want to rely on the sect's offerings to support their retirement and families. Physical work like this should still be done by the young."
Zhou Yanzhi smiled faintly: "So, it's not easy to find a young talent like Elder Feng!"
"That's right. You work a lot but get paid very little, and you're constantly being schemed against! Sigh, people are jealous of your high cultivation level, your talent, your good looks, your young age, but they're not jealous of you for working so hard! Haha!"
"Elder Feng is such a joke. I've heard that the Suzaku Divine Sect is the largest sect in the Southern Wilderness, and all the elders are highly respected. But after hearing what you said, it seems that the elders in my sect have become petty and intolerant."
"Oh, look at this, they're talking too much! Nephew Zhou, don't give up because of this! I'm telling you, every sect is actually like this now."
"In this case, isn't it necessary to occasionally experience a sneak attack from the Demon Sect?"
"That's not true. The problem is, if they refuse to come out, it will be very difficult for the Sect Master. In the end, he can only let the disciples below him wait for him. Those talented people who once followed them are gone just like that."
"Just taking the money without doing any work?" Zhou Yanzhi raised an eyebrow. "Sect Master Jiang is really generous!"
"I also think he's quite generous. Just look at that guy in our sect, who kept over a hundred concubines at once! He doesn't have much income himself, so what do you think he's doing? By the way, City Lord Zhou probably doesn't have such a problem."
☆
Zhou Yanzhi nodded. "Of course. In my Nanming City, and in my grandfather's place, useless people who don't want to die as an atonement can simply return home to retire. Nanming City doesn't support useless people. Since reaching the Danyuan realm is just to live a few more days, then their goal has been achieved. The sect has no grudges against them. If they continue to stay in the sect, won't they drag the sect down?"
"Yes, a little kindness, a peck of rice, a grudge! Overeating, one always imagines things one shouldn't." Elder Feng sighed, his figure suddenly rising high into the air, a giant sword blazing with white flames appearing in his hand. His body seemed to be shimmering with a shimmering white flame as well. "I've heard that nephew Zhou is a master of formations. Today, I'll show him the Flame Sword Technique of my Suzaku Divine Sect. We can't let nephew Zhou come in vain."
"Chirp--" A loud and high-pitched bird song pierced the sky.
Xiao Yu raised his head, one of his wings spread out, and the white Vermillion Bird covered the sky, carrying boundless pressure and fierce momentum. As Elder Feng waved his hand, he shot away with his giant sword.
In the blink of an eye, a white Vermilion Bird with a wingspan of at least ten miles flew over the mountain gate and collided with the blazing Yin Fire. When the white flaming Vermilion Bird gradually disappeared, the Yin Fire outside the mountain gate was also almost extinguished.
"Junior Brother Feng, let me help you." Another figure appeared.
This person is obviously also a sword cultivator, but the one above his head is a red Vermillion Bird.
Following the white Vermilion Bird, this Vermilion Bird that looked like a fire phoenix screamed and flew out of the mountain gate. In the blink of an eye, the Yin Fire outside the mountain gate disappeared completely.
☆
The sect's main hall.
The silver-haired elder said, "I heard that the Ghost Refining Sect has a spiritual-level magic weapon called the Taiyin Fire Wheel, which releases Yin Fire."
The clan leader looked over with an indifferent expression: "I heard that it broke down three hundred years ago and its power has greatly decreased."
The silver-haired elder said: "It doesn't look like it's broken."
Elder Hai: "If the news back then is true, could it be that the Ghost Refining Sect has produced a fifth-level weapon refiner?"
☆
After the second wave of attacks, there was no movement outside the mountain gate for a long time.
Elder Feng sat cross-legged on his flying sword, swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill like eating beans, and said, "Are we going to fight or not?"
A sword cultivator, who looked about the same age as Elder Feng and exuded a twilight aura, stared blankly outside the mountain gate, saying, "Calm down."
Elder Feng's expression froze, and gradually turned resentful.
Zhou Yanzhi's spiritual sense swept across the mountain gate. Twenty miles away, he could sense subtle fluctuations in Yin energy. It seemed the two Dan Yuan realm sword cultivators from the Suzaku Divine Sect had a certain intimidating effect on them, and they wouldn't act rashly for a while.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yanzhi threw a warning array plate outside the mountain gate, and then pulled Xiao Yu to fly to his own training room.
