Chapter 70 Who are you here for?
Lingzhi walked slowly towards the elder of Qi Sect, without a trace of mercy in his eyes.
In today's weapon duel, she did not ask the elders of the Weapon Sect to make any bets. This was not an unintentional act, but it was not intentional either.
In a weapon gambling game, if the party who does not bet wins, it is fine. But if it loses, it will suffer a several times heavier mental blow because it has no material price to pay.
The decision-making power has always been in the hands of the elders themselves. She just... watched the elders fall into the abyss and did nothing.
She didn't need to get any bet from the elder, because even if she wanted nothing, the elder of the Qi Sect would lose everything in this fight.
Being defeated in public by a disciple whom one had always looked down upon and oppressed was a blow that no one could easily endure.
Ups and downs are the best test of a cultivator's character. Although the elder of the Weapon Sect always says that she has a bad character, only when the critical moment comes will we know who has the bad character.
Not to be pleased with things, not to be sad with oneself, not to be proud of victory, not to be satisfied with defeat, that is the description of the Seven Mysterious Minds.
The elder of the Weapon Sect did not have the Seven Mysterious Mind, and under the huge blow, his spirit was clearly on the verge of collapse.
The spirit branch delivered the final blow without mercy:
"Elder Yu, or rather, Master... since I entered the Weapon Sect, I have never received any instruction from you. I learned the methods and techniques of refining weapons by secretly watching my senior brothers and sisters refine weapons. I also looked up the subtle differences in the materials used to refine weapons by reading the classics bit by bit!
"You said that I have low talent and bad character. I don't blame you, but you taught me the wrong tempering method, which wasted so many years of my life and greatly affected my practice. Your behavior is really disgusting!"
"Today I voluntarily sever my ties with you. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!"
A lot of crying.
The disciples present were all dumbfounded, especially those from the Weapon Sect.
If the fighting weapon incident had not happened, perhaps someone would have stood up to question Lingzhi, but now, no one dared to do so.
In other words, everyone has realized that what Lingzhi said must be true.
The rumor that "Fifth Junior Sister is not good at refining weapons, and has the name of a true disciple but not the reality of it" had spread throughout the Qingyun Sect a long time ago. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this must have been the work of the elders of the Weapon Sect.
And today, Lingzhi used his strength to shatter the rumors, and also shattered the dirty secret that the elders of Qi Sect had covered up for years, making the truth known to the world.
Some disciples of the Qi Sect turned their eyes to Yu Hui. At this moment, Yu Hui could be said to be the last person who could speak for the Qi Sect elders.
Unfortunately, Yuhui is clearly unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
When the elder of Qi Sect was defeated, he hid aside, looking as if he was a head shorter, with a look of pity written all over his face.
The second elder of the Sword Sect sighed:
"Old Yu, you are nepotistic, you confuse right and wrong, and you even seem to be colluding with his inner disciples to murder the true teachings. Today, I will act on behalf of the Immortal Venerable and suspend your position as an elder. Considering that you have contributed to the sect for many years and have done your best for the Qi Sect, the final decision should be left to... the Immortal Venerable, the head of the sect."
This approach is reasonable and acceptable to everyone.
Among all the people present, only one person felt a pang in his heart after hearing these words.
It is Nanwang.
Of course it is Nanwang.
What do you mean leave it to the Sect Master Immortal Venerable to decide? Where is the Sect Master Immortal Venerable? The one sitting in the Panlong Palace is Nuonuo...
“Haha, hahaha, hahahahahaha—”
The elder of Qi Sect suddenly laughed strangely. His laughter was extremely sharp and not like that of an ordinary person.
The next second, his eyes turned red and a strong demonic power emerged from his body.
"not good!"
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder frowned and unsheathed the Yangyan Sword in his hand.
Nan Wang was standing right in front of the Great Elder. He was caught off guard and looked directly at the blade of the Yang Yan Sword. The next moment, everything went dark before his eyes.
For a moment, Nan Wang felt that what he saw was not a sword at all, but the sun.
The burning pain went straight from his eyeballs to his temples, excruciatingly painful. Nan Wang closed his eyes quickly enough, but he couldn't escape this.
——The blade of the Yangyan Sword is comparable to the sun.
Such a simple descriptive sentence in the original novel almost blinded Nan Wang's eyes when it came to reality.
The place was in chaos at the moment and no one cared about Nanwang.
It took him a while to recover his sight, but his mind was already active:
[There is something wrong with this Qi Zong elder. He must have been invaded by Bai Futu! ]
[Bai Futu's Abandoned Tail Reincarnation can also be used to invade living people with fragile minds. The elder of the Weapon Sect must be a hidden chess piece she has been hiding for many years! ]
[If you want to destroy Qingyun Sect, you can't just rely on those new disciples. Bai Futu must have a puppet who holds real power in Qingyun Sect. Someone has analyzed this a long time ago! It's true! ]
After a long time, when Nan Wang could finally see clearly, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
He thought he could see the Yang Yan Sword piercing through the elder of the Weapon Sect, but the Yang Yan Sword was still firmly in the hands of the elder and was even sheathed.
In its place is an unparalleled magnificent lotus platform.
The lotus stand blossomed in the air, and the overlapping petals protected the elder of Qi Sect inside, making him as solid as a rock.
A moment later, a graceful woman appeared on the lotus platform.
The woman was beautiful as a fairy, had a distant look, and was dressed strangely.
She was wearing a black dress and a black headband, and her entire body was in black, except for a small snow-white flower on her chest.
All the disciples and elders in Qingyun Sect were dressed in the same uniform, so it was obvious that this person was not from the sect.
However, today's meeting is an internal meeting of the sect, and no outside guests are invited. The sect's formation has never been opened before.
The woman introduced herself:
"I came here today with the intention of just congratulating you, but I didn't expect to come at such an unfortunate time and encounter such a scene... You are my disciple, old friends, please give me some face this time."
Having said that, the woman took off the gold bag from her chest and threw it away.
The prize flew in a parabola in the air and landed on the table in the referee's booth. No one dared to catch it.
After a long while, the Sword Clan's Great Elder snorted and used the scabbarded Yangyan Sword to pick up the golden bag.
A Qingyun Sect disciple card fell out.
“I’ll go!”
Zhan Chenming let out a low cry of surprise.
Nan Wang, who was confused, asked in confusion: "Who is this? Why did she say that Elder Yu was her disciple?"
"She is the one we talked about before..." Zhan Chenming lowered his voice and said, "The previous elder of the Qi Sect, Mu Yuanyao."
Nanwang was shocked: "Oh my god, the reinforcements from the Qi Sect elders are too far away. How can they be called back even those who have already left the sect?"
Zhan Chenming glanced at him with a complicated expression and said slowly: "That's not necessarily true."
Nanwang said: "What do you mean by uncertain?"
Zhan Chenming said: "People may not come here just for Elder Yu."
"What, it's not for Elder Yu, then, then could this be..."
Nanwang's little brain turned and he said in surprise:
"Could it be that he had a secret affair with our elder? No wonder, he kept his disciple card even after he left. This is really going to be interesting. By the way, what sect did this Taoist friend Mu go to after leaving the sect? Is it a famous sect? Maybe I know."
As he spoke, he took out some melon seeds from his storage bag, ready to watch the show while eating them.
Zhan Chenming looked at Nanwang with an indescribable feeling: "Indeed... he is quite famous, you will know in a moment."
In the center of the square, the lotus stand and the elder of the Qi Sect placed inside it kept shrinking, and finally shrank into a gem the size of a fingernail, which was embedded in the silver-white bracelet on Mu Yuanmo's wrist.
This skill of shrinking a living person amazed all the disciples present.
There are seven grooves on the Mu Yuan Yao bracelet, and with this new lotus, only three grooves are filled.
Everyone can see that Mu Yuanyao's bracelet is extraordinary and is undoubtedly a magical weapon of immortal grade.
The two elders in the referee's seat stood up, and Yan Huai and Elder Danzong in the audience also stood up and walked towards Mu Yuanyao.
Mu Yuanyao was the previous elder of the Qi Sect. Most of the new disciples might not know Mu Yuanyao, but these inner sect elders were all his colleagues.
The Sword Sect's Great Elder lifted the rope on the golden bag with his Yangyan Sword and threw it aside as if in disgust. When he put away the sword, he dropped the disciple token and let it fly towards Mu Yuanyao.
The other elders looked at each other and did not make any comment.
The elders remained silent, and the disciples who were watching were as quiet as chickens, not daring to make a sound.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mu Yuanyao was no longer a member of Qingyun Sect, and she should not be holding the Qingyun Sect's disciple card any longer. In fact, her disciple card was not just an ordinary disciple card, but a disciple card for a true disciple and inner sect elder.
The story from a hundred years ago has lost most of its color in the long river of time, but there are still some remnants that can be seen by the outside world——
The current spiritual branch is the Mu Yuanyao of that year.
The last-ranked and most favored disciple of Qingyun Sect eventually left the sect that loved her so much.
The great elder's stubborn good intentions failed to impress Mu Yuanyao.
She raised her hand to hold the disciple card, and with a move of her spiritual power, she sent the disciple card back to the table of the great elder.
The Great Elder's expression changed slightly, and when he wanted to speak, he was stopped by the Second Elder.
The second elder shook his head helplessly.
"My fellow Taoists, I am sorry to bother you today. I would like to present you with two secret treasures. I wish that the Qingyun Sect will have longevity and prosperity for generations to come."
Du Yuanyao took out a pitch-black dagger from his storage bag, held it up with his spiritual power, and presented it to the great elder: "This item is called 'Red Dust Break', it can break formations, remove evil, remove curses, and destroy monsters."
The great elder turned his head away, clearly indicating that he refused, would not look at, and did not approve.
The second elder took the dagger in place of the first elder and managed to calm the situation: "Master... Fellow Daoist Mu has come a long way. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me."
Mu Yuanyu smiled and turned to walk towards the other side of the referee's seat: "As for the other thing..."
Nan Wang watched Mu Yuanru getting closer and closer to him until he was standing right in front of him.
He was so frightened that he couldn't move, and the melon seeds in his hand fell onto the table.
Chu Songping stood up, and Zhijing wrapped around his body like a moving python. If Mu Yuanru made any unusual movements, he could take action at any time.
Mu Yuanyun stared at Nanwang steadily, his eyes filled with nostalgia and sadness. The complex emotions finally turned into a long sigh:
"This sword is called Guantian. It is the sword I promised to pass on to the fourth disciple."
"Today we meet again after a long separation, but unfortunately things have changed and nothing has happened... Wu Ge from the Ghost Corpse Cult came to congratulate, congratulations on the appearance of the fourth true disciple of Qingyun Sect."
Nan Wan: "???????"
