Regarding the power of the sect, is it the sect leader or the chief steward who is in charge?
Everyone is also very curious, especially the sect leader, the top powerhouse in the Nascent Soul realm. Will he stand on Li Kui's side, or on Guo Zhen's side?
Chen Ke laughed and said, "I just came over to take a look. What do you need me to do?"
When outsiders saw Chen Ke coming in, they straightened their bodies and became energetic. Only Zhao Xinyi lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Chen Ke for fear that Chen Ke would wear small shoes for him.
Chen Ke didn't care about Zhao Xinyi. If he had, Zhao Xinyi would no longer be around at this moment.
Li Kui said: "I would like to ask the sect master to order Guo Zhen to station at Wenjian Pavilion on behalf of Lingkong Mountain. It will not take five years, but half a year later he will return and become the official elder of Lingkong Mountain."
"Okay, Guo Zhen, what do you think?" Chen Ke asked. He would not force anyone. Since this is a trial in Lingkong Mountain, Chen Ke would respect Li Kui and cooperate with Li Kui's mission.
After hearing this, Guo Zhen cupped his hands and said: "Since it is the order of the sect leader, Guo Zhen should obey it."
Chen Ke nodded slightly and said: "This is just a trial, it won't kill you, just don't worry. But going to Wenjiange is not a trial, but a trial task after you enter the sect. Trial and Trial The tasks are different. The trial is a kind of identification for outsiders, and failure is allowed. But if your trial task is purposeful, you will be punished by Li Kui if you fail."
"My subordinates know." Guo Zhen said.
Li Kui said: "You agreed? Let me tell you, if you are killed by Wenjian Pavilion, Lingkong Mountain will not stand up for you, or even admit that you are a disciple of Lingkong Mountain."
"I remember." Guo Zhen nodded and said.
Li Kui said: "Very good, since you agreed, I won't say anything more. I hope you can understand one thing. This matter can be urgent or slow. You need to seize the opportunity yourself. I will give you a chance to regret it now." , if you refuse the sect master’s request, there will be another trial, but if you agree, your life safety cannot be guaranteed.”
Chen Ke said: "Don't pay attention to me, I'm just a tool. It was Li Kui who came here to issue orders."
Chen Ke made a joke, but no one echoed it.
At this moment, many outsiders truly understood how much power this Taoist friend Li Kui had who received them. This status and identity were really intimidating.
One sentence can determine a person's fate. It seems that he has more say and more power than Chen Ke in Lingkong Mountain.
If there is nothing wrong in saying this, Li Kui does have more power than Chen Ke, because Chen Ke doesn't want any power at all.
Lingkong Mountain is his, does he need to manage Lingkong Mountain? The answer is no, he just needs to stroll around and leave the affairs of Lingkong Mountain to the people below.
Having become the master of Lingkong Mountain and having to deal with so many sect affairs, Chen Ke felt that his role as the master of Lingkong Mountain was really boring.
The purpose of holding power is to be free, not to vent your power and show your uniqueness.
This was not what Chen Ke had in mind, so Li Kui actually had more power than Chen Ke in Lingkong Mountain. Some sect disciples dared to talk and laugh with Chen Ke, but they did not dare to play casually with Li Kui.
Power is the real invisible cloak that isolates people from each other.
Guo Zhen said: "I promise, since the sect master asked me to do it, I will do it. If he really dies, it is just Guo Zhen's incompetence and has nothing to do with the sect master or Lingkong Mountain!"
"Haha, very good!" Li Kui laughed a few times, as if Guo Zhen had fallen into a trap, and all the outsiders looking around felt cold.
When they came together with Guo Zhen, Guo Zhen was very famous. He was favored by Chen Ke, the master of Lingkong Mountain, and was accepted as his disciple. He also wanted to control Lingkong Mountain and carry out reforms.
As a result, after entering Lingkong Mountain, they encountered the largest main force in Lingkong Mountain. Li Kui, the leader of the establishment faction, launched a crazy counterattack, but failed to win and was sent to the frontier.
Life and death are not guaranteed.
Fairy Lotus looked a little angry from behind. She felt that Li Kui was deliberately suppressing Guo Zhen. He could obviously choose other tasks, but he was given such a dangerous task.
"Okay, when you come back from Wenjian Pavilion, you will take over the position of deputy chief steward of Lingkong Mountain under me." Li Kui said directly, "You are allowed to come back if you can't stand the pressure of Wenjiange Pavilion, but the position of deputy chief steward is gone. , allowing you to be an ordinary disciple."
Li Kui's killer move is here. He will not kill Guo Zhen at once, but give Guo Zhen a gentle trap. If you encounter resistance outside, you can return to Lingkong Mountain. Lingkong Mountain will not punish you, but the power and high position allowed by the sect leader will not be lost.
After talking about it for so long, what seemed to be Li Kui's killing move was actually not Li Kui's killing move, but the trial at Lingkong Mountain. The real killing move was this kind of hidden needle.
If you relax a little, problems will arise, and what appears under pressure is often escape.
Wenjiange indeed did not dare to kill Guo Zhen, but it would definitely not make Guo Zhen's life easy. Guo Zhen's life in Wenjiange must be difficult. If he couldn't bear it and felt that he was under a lot of pressure but was being punished by Lingkong Mountain, he would not dare to retreat. And once Li Kui gives Guo Zhen a punishment that can be weakened, that is, the reward for previous success is gone. This comparison will make Guo Zhen feel that he can handle this problem by himself, which will lead to Guo Zhen Zhen chose to give up the trial mission.
Once Guo Zhen gave up, it would prove that all his efforts were in vain. This is the root of Li Kui's victory. A person with an unstable temperament will shrink when faced with pressure. How can Lingkong Mountain be reformed?
You must know that each of the major palaces in Lingkong Mountain contains strong men in the late stage of the Condensation Realm. If Guo Zhen wants to reform Lingkong Mountain, he must first take action on these palaces.
To attack these palaces is to fight against these powerful men in the late stage of the Condensation Realm.
This is not outside. Outsiders may be afraid of your Lingkong Mountain name and dare not do anything. But this is Lingkong Mountain. They are all disciples of Lingkong Mountain, and they are all the first ones. How could they be afraid of Guo Zhen? People who join later.
Especially Chen Ke would not pay much attention to such trivial matters. Without reinforcements, Guo Zhen could only do it on his own.
The matter is so simple. If Guo Zhen wants to solve the problem, he can only have a heart that will not flinch in the face of huge pressure.
Chen Ke said: "If you want to take power in Lingkong Mountain, you have a long way to go to reform. You have to work hard on your own. I can do very little to help you, but I will definitely guarantee your safety and practice."
After hearing this, Guo Zhen was slightly shocked and said, "Thank you very much, Master."
"No need to be polite. From today on, you are a member of Lingkong Mountain. Get ready to carry out the trial mission given to you by Manager Li." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Yes!" Guo Zhen nodded.
Immediately, a disciple came over and led Guo Zhen down.
Li Kui looked at the group of outsiders and said, "Next, Fellow Taoist Lotus."
Fairy Lotus walked out of the crowd and looked at Chen Ke with a pair of almond eyes. Chen Ke nodded slightly and smiled. Fairy Lotus also nodded slightly and walked to Li Kui's side.
"Fellow Taoist Li Kui." Fairy Lotus said hello.
Li Kui said: "Fellow Lotus Master, please sit down. You have also read the trial mission just now. I actually have nothing special to say, but this requires a silent barrier."
"Okay." Lotus Fairy nodded.
Li Kui looked at the practitioner next to him who was in the late stage of the Condensing Core Realm. He took a little action and formed a barrier to cover Li Kui, the Lotus Fairy, Chen Ke, and Wen Yu.
Li Kui said: "Actually, Lingkong Mountain relies on war to support war, so it doesn't need many female disciples, but I think you have a good physique. Do you have a Yin physique?"
Fairy Lotus nodded and said, "Exactly, because there are very few Taoist methods related to Yin spiritual veins, my practice is a little slow."
In addition to her natural wood spiritual veins, Lotus Fairy also has a yin spiritual vein. Her wood spiritual qualifications are mediocre, but her yin spiritual veins are more outstanding. However, there are very few such yin spiritual veins in the monastic world. There are very few Tao methods that lead to Yin spiritual veins. The Refining Fairy does not have the Tao methods of Yin spiritual veins, which makes her always in the early stage of the Dan Condensation realm, and she has to stabilize the realm from time to time.
If there is a good Yin spiritual pulse method, Fairy Lotus may not be unable to cultivate to the middle stage of Condensing Pill Realm.
"It is indeed difficult to find Yin spiritual veins, but I heard that Yin spiritual veins are also a very good Furnace spiritual vein, especially when paired with Yang spiritual veins." Li Kui said slowly.
Fairy Lotus's face became a little ugly. If this was not the main hall of Lingkong Mountain, she would have left long ago.
Wen Yu poked Chen Ke from the side with his white and tender fingers, and said through a message: "How come you, Lingkong Mountain, have gained the power of evil and specifically recruited Luding?"
"Don't accuse good people unjustly. I didn't recruit them. Li Kui and the others didn't care about me." Chen Ke said.
"Fellow Taoist, this joke is not funny." Fairy Lotus said with a low face.
Li Kui said: "Fellow Taoist, don't get me wrong. I'm just taking precautions. If the sect master is injured in the future and needs you to be his cauldron, can you be his cauldron?"
"Look! He said it wasn't for you. I want to tell senior sister." Wan Ying immediately grabbed Chen Ke's sleeve and warned him.
Chen Ke was helpless. He didn't ask Li Kui to recruit any furnace at all. This was just a trial.
Fairy Lotus turned her head and glanced at Chen Ke, lowered her head slightly with a shy expression and said, "If it's really him, that's okay..."
"Fairy Lotus, you have to think carefully, this matter is not a joke to you. If you agree, if the sect master is injured in the future and needs a furnace, we will send you there to express condolences to the sect master. By then, your cultivation will, It is very likely that it will be sucked away by the sect leader." Li Kui said seriously.
Fairy Lotus nodded and said, "I know, I've already thought about it."
"Congratulations, you passed this test. But the mark of your furnace may still exist, because if this happens, I will send you there." Li Kui said.
