Chapter 27 Robbed in the Street
"Master, you seem to know a lot about what's going on inside there. Have you been in there before?"
Seeing his young disciple asking questions, Master Wu Chen softened his tone and said with some nostalgia: "When Master was your second senior brother's age, he also went in. At that time, the Forbidden Mansion was open to anyone. All sword cultivators could enter and look for their own opportunities. Some people realized the sword intent there, some obtained spiritual swords, and some even broke through to the second level directly."
"That is the holy land in the hearts of all sword practitioners. You must use your heart to comprehend it when you go in. You must not waste this opportunity."
Zhong Linger heard the problem, "Master, in the early years, everyone could enter the Sword Ancestor's Mansion, why is the number of people limited now?"
True Man Wu Chen paused, and True Man Wu Feng's unhappy voice sounded, "In the early years, the Sword Ancestor's Mansion appeared randomly, but since it appeared in the back mountain of Tianji Academy, it has been fixed there and became the property of Tianji Academy. From then on, if you want to enter the Mansion again, you must get the consent of Tianji Academy."
Zhong Linger opened her eyes wide. It was possible to do this. "Master, in the world of immortal cultivation, as long as it is an ownerless thing, whoever gets it will own it. For example, if our Taiqiong Sect gets it, it will belong to our Taiqiong Sect, right?"
Master Wu Chen patted his little disciple's forehead and said, "You wish for that. The Tianyuan Secret Realm is a small world hidden in space, nurtured by the heaven and earth and protected by the way of heaven. It is not something that one sect can obtain. Usually, it takes more than five sects to join forces."
"As for the Sword Ancestor's Mansion, that was the Sword Ancestor's private space. Tianji Academy invited a great master who was proficient in space magic and spent countless resources to fix this mansion. Although they restricted the number of people who could enter, they also left it in Dongzhou. So it's hard to say whether it's good or bad. You just need to look for opportunities and don't think too much about other things."
"Oh, I just heard that the time to enter the Sword Ancestor's Mansion has been changed to five days later."
Zhou Yizhuo suddenly spoke up, his tone lazy and nonchalant. Seeing his master looking at him in confusion, he raised one corner of his mouth, "Master, don't you know that Tianji Academy said they have to wait for the disciples of Lingjian Sect and Tianyu Sect who entered Tianyuan Secret Realm to come out, so it has been postponed."
Taoist Wu Chen's expression turned very ugly, but he didn't say anything in the end. He asked his disciples to go back and practice, and only locked himself and Taoist Wu Feng in the room.
After several people came out, Bai Luochen stopped Zhou Yizhuo who was about to leave and said solemnly, "Tell me, what happened just now?"
Zhou Yizhuo shook off his hand and said while adjusting his clothes: "What else could it be? Master came to tell the people from Tianji Academy that there were still many disciples in the Tianyuan Secret Realm who had not returned yet. He wanted to postpone the time for a few days, but was rejected. That's why he rushed to the entrance of the secret realm to pick you up."
"Who knew that it wasn't that Tianji Academy couldn't postpone it, but that Master's reputation wasn't big enough. The Lingjian Sect and Tianyu Sect only had their elders come forward, and they agreed."
Ouyang Ruochen and Bai Luochen's faces turned ugly, and the young disciples were indignant, thinking that Tianji Academy was unfair and looked down on Taiqiong Sect.
Zhong Linger's expression was calm. What was this? This was a typical case of a weak country having no diplomacy. The one with the highest cultivation level in Taiqiong Sect was the master who was in the fusion stage. Unlike other sects that had even higher-level supreme elders in charge, the several peak masters were not well-known. The only disciples below were the Taiqiong Shuangjiao, but now one of them was killed. Only the eldest brother, who was the best of his generation, could hold up the sect.
Among the five major sects, Taiqiong Sect has the least number of disciples. The other four sects have at least 50,000 to 60,000 inner and outer sects combined, while Taiqiong Sect has only 5,000 to 6,000. Moreover, the disciples are always traveling outside all year round, collecting resources everywhere. It is no wonder that the reputation of the poorest sect is well-known to everyone, so it is no wonder that it is despised.
Many people have questioned the strength of Taiqiong Sect as one of the five major sects, so the sect competition has become a key node. After all, it is related to the distribution of interests among the twelve major sects in Dongzhou. This was the case in previous lives. Taiqiong Sect could not get good resources and eventually declined until it was wiped out.
However, the disciples could only criticize the adults verbally, then let it go and dispersed to do their own things.
Ye Qinglan dragged Zhong Ling'er and Qi Haoran out shopping. The three-person team was not harmonious. Qi Haoran ignored Zhong Ling'er, and Zhong Ling'er was unwilling to get close to the fifth senior brother. Ye Qinglan continued to liven up the atmosphere, but the atmosphere was weird.
"Sister Ling'er, it's really you!"
A gentle and kind voice sounded behind her, making Zhong Ling'er's hair stand on end, and she instinctively wanted to run away.
She turned around stiffly, and sure enough, the person coming was her cousin Zhong Yuxue.
After not seeing her for a few days, she has become more beautiful and confident, and her aura has become much stronger. I guess she is not far from reaching the golden elixir stage.
Glancing at the people around her, sure enough, Lu Mingyu was following beside her, Qin Dongxu and Leng Qingyu were walking side by side behind her. Three of the four biggest bootlickers had arrived. No wonder she was so gentle and so proud.
"Sister, how have you been doing recently? You must have suffered a lot. Look, you have lost weight."
Zhong Yuxue reached out to touch her, but Zhong Ling'er shook her head away.
"Friend Zhong, I have severed my relationship with the Zhong family. Don't call me sister anymore. Also, don't touch me. We are not familiar with each other."
Zhong Yuxue's hands froze for a moment, then dropped in disappointment, with two small pools of water in her eyes. She suppressed her sadness and said, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? You are still so young, what will you do without your family?"
"You can't do this. You should leave Taiqiong Sect and go to Lingjian Sect with your sister. Master has promised to accept you as an inner disciple. Be good and stay with your sister. Your sister will take good care of you."
Zhong Yuxue grabbed Zhong Ling'er tightly and dragged her towards her, not even noticing that her nails were digging into Zhong Ling'er's flesh.
Zhong Ling'er felt pain at first, and then the feeling of being restrained appeared again, causing her feet to unconsciously walk towards Zhong Yuxue. Although she was shouting "no" in her heart, she couldn't make a sound.
Seeing that his junior sister was dragged away by her cousin in a few words, Qi Haoran was not happy. He grabbed Zhong Ling'er's other hand and pulled it hard, "Zhong Ling'er, what do you mean? If you want to leave Taiqiong Sect, you should make it clear. How can you just walk away like this?"
Ye Qinglan also reacted and stepped forward with open arms to stop Zhong Yuxue.
"You can't take Junior Sister away. She is a disciple of our Taiqiong Sect."
Lu Mingyu pushed Ye Qinglan away impatiently, "Don't block the way. Why do you want to interfere in the affairs of these two sisters?"
Qin Dongxu came forward, separated several people, and asked what happened. After hearing that Zhong Yuxue was going to take her sister back to the sect, he chuckled and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. As long as Sister Ling'er wants to join our Lingjian Sect, our Lingjian Sect will naturally welcome her."
