1772 Flying Willow catkin sword (1)
This personâs words were extremely rude. Although his words were meant to elevate Huang daoranâs status, it was extremely inappropriate to say it in this situation. Not only was he not giving face to Zhao Hai, but he was also not giving face to Huang daoran and Feng baiming. Therefore, everyone in the hall fell silent after hearing his words. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
An old man in a navy blue cultivatorâs robe was sitting there. Qing Xuan and Feng baiming could not help but frown when they saw this man because they were too familiar with him. This man was the great elder of the inner hall of Xuan Qing sect. He was in charge of the courage education of all the disciples in Xuan Qing sect and was also the most important person in Xuan Qing sect, the supervisor of the Scripture Hall.
The Scripture Hall was the place where all the Scriptures and secret manuals of the Xuan Qing sect were stored. It was very important. This great elder was also the most senior great elder in the Xuan Qing sect. The reason why he was still a master of the nascent Soul Stage was not because he was not strong enough, but because an enemy had infiltrated the Xuan Qing sect once. When they were planning to steal the Scriptures from the Scripture Hall, he had discovered it. With the strength of the nascent Soul Stage, he had a hard fight with a master of the crossing tribulation stage. In the end, he was seriously injured, but he had still managed to escape. He was injured by the Grand Elder who came after him and did not succeed.
However, he was seriously injured and had no hope of advancing to the dujie stage. It was because of his status that he had a very high status in the Xuan Qing sect. Even some Grand elders had to give him face.
In addition, he had been in charge of teaching the core disciples and distributing secret manuals all these years. It could be said that he was half a master to the core disciples. His disciples were all over the world, so his status in the Xuan Qing sect was naturally special.
As soon as they heard him speak, both Qing Xuan and Feng baiming were put in a difficult position. This was because they could not afford to offend this old man. They had to consider all aspects of this matter.
Zhao Hai glanced at the elder and noticed Qing Xuan and Feng baimingâs attitude. He did not mind and smiled, â &Quot; this elder is right. The Xuan Qing sect is such a big sect. It is already my good fortune to be able to meet the Qing Xuan sect master and all of you. This elder does not need to be wary of me. &Quot;
Zhao Haiâs words carried a hint of harshness in them. He immediately retorted the first elderâs words. Moreover, Zhao Haiâs words made the first elder seem petty.
The Grand elderâs expression changed when he heard Zhao Haiâs words. He said angrily, â âKid, what did you say?â
âIâm saying that itâs my honor to be able to meet the sect master and the elders. Thereâs no need for you to remind me again,â Zhao Hai said with a smile. As soon as Zhao Hai said this, the elders exploded. Zhao Hai was slapping them in the face. They were used to being arrogant, so they couldnât stand this.
The Grand elderâs face turned green with anger, and he only managed to calm down after a while. He snorted coldly and looked at Zhao Hai, &Quot; young man, you donât know how high the sky is. Let me teach you a lesson today. Zhao Hai, I heard that youâre quite strong. A few of our Xuan Qing sectâs useless disciples would like to see you for themselves. Do you dare to accept the challenge? â
âIâve long heard that the Xuan Qing sect is an authentic xuanmen sect in the cultivation world. Iâd like to learn a thing or two from you,â Zhao Hai said with a smile.
The great elderâs hair and beard stood up as he laughed,âGood, good, good. Young people nowadays are getting more and more courageous. What do you think, immortal Huang?â
Huang daoran looked at the great elder and said in a deep voice, â âYoung man, itâs good to let him know the immensity of the heavens and earth.â After saying that, he turned around and talked to Feng baiming. Obviously, he didnât care about this matter anymore.
The great elderâs eyes flashed with a trace of anger. He then turned to Qing Xuan and cupped his fists, â &Quot; sect master, please allow your disciples to compete with Mister Zhao Hai. &Quot;
Qing Xuan looked at the great elder and nodded, â âGreat elder will make the arrangements.â The Grand elderâs eyes flashed with joy. He glanced at Zhao Hai and turned to leave.
After the great elder left, Zhao Hai turned to Qing Xuan and cupped his fists, â &Quot; sect master Qing Xuan, Iâm sorry for offending you today. Please forgive me. &Quot;
Of course, Qing Xuan knew why Zhao Hai had done this. This was something he had discussed with Feng baiming. Qing Xuan waved his hand at Zhao Hai and said,âSir is too polite. Sparring is a very normal thing. Sir, please donât mind it.â
âMaster, Iâm going to see the Xuan Qing sectâs wondrous techniques,â Zhao Hai turned to Huang daoran and said. Huang daoran waved his hand and continued to talk to Feng baiming as if he didnât care at all.
At this moment, a commotion could be heard from outside. Zhao Hai looked at Qing Xuan and Qing Xuan smiled, â âPlease, Sir. Today, please let him know that thereâs always someone better!â After saying that, he led Zhao Hai out, but Huang daoran and Feng baiming didnât follow.
After everyone had left, Huang daoran used a protective shield to cover the two of them. He then said to Feng baiming, â &Quot; blacksmith, I think that old man was really angered by little hai. It wonât be a big deal, right? â
Feng baiming shook his head and said, â donât worry. Iâve talked to the other Grand elders about this. Weâll keep an eye on them. Itâll be fine. As long as little hai doesnât use too much force, there wonât be a problem. &Quot;
Huang daoran nodded and sighed, â âNow I know why your sectâs core disciples are so arrogant. With such a protective great elder, itâs hard for them not to be arrogant.â
Feng baiming smiled bitterly and turned to Huang daoran, â âShould we go out and take a look? At that time, we can have a good chat. I really donât feel at ease staying in the house.â
Huang daoran rolled his eyes at Feng baiming and said, â âYouâre worried about little hai injuring them, right? Forget it, letâs go.â
The two of them stood up and walked out of the door. At this time, Zhao Hai was already standing on the square in front of xuanqing Palace. In front of him stood more than 20 cultivators in navy blue cultivators âuniforms. The ages of these cultivators varied. The oldest was in his forties, while the youngest looked less than 20 years old.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that you couldnât judge a cultivatorâs age from their appearance. Some of the cultivation techniques that cultivators practiced had a very good way of maintaining their beauty. If you relied on appearance to judge his age, you would be at a disadvantage.
Mo Sheng had been standing behind Zhao Hai like an iron tower. However, mo Sheng clearly didnât know what was going on. He looked at the cultivators of the Xuan Qing sect with a curious gaze. He had seen many of them before, but he couldnât remember many of them with his memory.
The cultivators were looking at Zhao Hai angrily. They didnât know what the Grand Elder had said to them. The Grand Elder was standing in front of them, looking at Zhao Hai with a smile. It was obvious that he wouldnât say anything good about Zhao Hai. He was happy that he was going to teach Zhao Hai a lesson.
Zhao Hai didnât mind. He turned to mo Sheng and said, &Quot; mo Sheng, stand at the back first. Iâll play with them. Youâll see how we do it later. Donât come and help, weâre just playing. &Quot;
When mo Sheng heard Zhao Haiâs words, he also took it seriously. He touched his head and said,âBig brother hai, why didnât you call me along?â
Zhao Hai smiled wryly. &Quot; alright, Iâll call you next time. You can wait at the back first. Iâll play with them for a while, then Iâll take you to eat something good. &Quot;
When mo Sheng heard Zhao Haiâs words, he quickly said,âI want to eat chicken!â
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; alright, letâs eat chicken. You can eat as much as you want. Be good and go to the back first. &Quot; &Quot; yes, â mo Sheng replied. He turned around and stood a dozen meters behind Zhao Hai.
The cultivators heard the conversation between Zhao Hai and Mo Sheng. Those who knew mo Sheng knew that Zhao Hai was just trying to coax him, but those who didnât thought that Zhao Hai was mocking them. Their faces turned even uglier.
Zhao Hai looked at them and cupped his fists, â &Quot; Iâm Zhao Hai. Iâve come to the Xuan Qing sect to pay my respects to the Qing Xuan sect master. Iâm very honored that the great elder is willing to allow me to learn from you. &Quot;
The Grand Elder glanced at Zhao Hai and snorted, â &Quot; alright, thereâs no point in saying all this now. Zhao Hai, Iâll let you know today that thereâs always someone better than you. Donât think too highly of yourself. &Quot;
âI was just about to ask for advice,â Zhao Hai replied with a smile. The great elder snorted and turned to look at those core disciples. He said in a deep voice: âWhoâs going to exchange a few moves with Zhao Hai?â
Among those core disciples, someone immediately said: âI, let me do it.â A few people walked out. The great elder looked at them and frowned slightly. Among the core disciples, these peopleâs strength could only be considered average. He was really worried if they were to fight Zhao Hai.
Although the first elderâs words implied that he didnât put Zhao Hai in his eyes, he was very clear that Zhao Haiâs strength wouldnât be too weak if he blocked Huang daoranâs attack. Even if Huang daoran went easy on him, he was still a dujie-stage cultivator. Even if he casually attacked, the power would be astonishing. Zhao Hai blocked it, which in itself showed Zhao Haiâs strength. If they sent someone weaker, Zhao Hai wouldnât be able to block it. He was afraid that he would not be Zhao Haiâs match. Today, he wanted to teach Zhao Hai a lesson. He did not want to lose, as that would only make him lose even more face.
At this moment, a young cultivator who looked to be in his twenties stood up and cupped his fists to the great elder and the other cultivators. &Quot; âFellow junior brothers, let me have the first round.â Although this person looked younger than the few people who had stood up, he had called them brothers and junior brothers. Those people did not seem to object at all, so it was obvious that his status was not low.
In the cultivation world, senior and junior brothers were not determined by age, but by strength. You were the senior brother last year, but you lost today, so you can only be the junior Brother. This kind of competition system was one of the driving forces for cultivators to work hard.
When the cultivators saw this young man stand out, they all bowed to him and said, â âIf thatâs the case, Iâll let senior brother win this round.â After saying that, he retreated.
When the great elder saw this young man step forward, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, â &Quot; alright, then Iâll let you take the first round, Liu Feiyang. &Quot;n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this name, Zhao Hai couldnât help but raise his eyebrows. He had heard of this Liu Feiyang before. His nickname was flying Willow catkin sword. He was one of the most famous core disciples of the Xuan Qing sect.
Liu Feiyang stood up and cupped his fists at Zhao Hai. &Quot; âFeiyang has long heard of Misterâs great name. It is Feiyangâs great fortune to be able to exchange a few pointers with Mister today.â
