In the Duanxian Hall, the four peak masters took their seats in order of priority.
Taoist Wuji had a kind appearance and laughed heartily: "We haven't gotten together for a long time to talk about old times. Today is an opportunity."
Qingxuan said: "Yes. The three of us met twice at Maya Palace a few days ago, but we didn't have a good talk."
There was a cunning look in the corners of Master Yulong's eyes. "Yes, but the apprentice was eventually snatched away by the junior sister."
Master Jingxin glanced sideways at the two senior brothers, "You still have the nerve to say it."
Taoist Wuji naturally knew who the disciple they were talking about was. Regarding that hot potato, Master Xianyun Taoist had only four words to make his decision, "Let nature take its course."
Taoist Wuji deliberately changed the topic. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you know who will be attending this celebration?"
"Master is coming out of seclusion?" Master Jingxin was the first to guess.
"It's not our master, it's senior Feng Lan."
"Blue Rock Peak mainly goes down the mountain?" Master Jingxin asked curiously. Although Lanyan Peak and Xingkui Peak were only one step away, she had only met Feng Lan a handful of times during the hundreds of years she had been in Wuji Sect. That person was really mysterious.
Master Yulong also asked: "Senior Feng Lan is completely aloof from the world. How can we invite him to a celebration party?"
Taoist Wuji smiled and stroked his long beard and said: "Because this is what the master meant. This time the disciples went to the south to support the Hidden Immortal Valley and made great achievements, the master decided to open the sword tomb for them. Then senior Feng Lan will also Aren’t you going to show up?”
Master Jingxin: "Is the Sword Tomb going to be opened?"
Master Qingxuan: "This time, Master really spent a lot of money to reward his disciples."
Master Yulong: "The Sword Tomb has not been opened for more than a hundred years."
At that moment, every peak master began to think about it. After all, if his disciples could enter the Sword Tomb, comprehend some skills, or obtain a high-level magic weapon, it would be a great blessing.
Taoist Wuji smiled and said: "Haha, after the sword tomb is opened this time, all the disciples who have returned from the south can enter. And the second floor of the sword tomb will also be opened. But who can enter the depths of the sword tomb is not ours to decide. That’s right, Feng Lan alone has the final say on matters on Blue Rock Peak.”
All the real people nodded in agreement. They also knew that the Sword Tomb at Blue Rock Peak was completely controlled by Feng Lan. Although they hope that their disciples will have this blessing, they can't help them much.
Taoist Wuji continued: "There is another important news to tell you." At this point, his face suddenly became a little heavier.
"Master is about to face the critical moment of soul calamity."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Soul calamity, what this means is self-evident. Cultivators are meant to go against the will of heaven. They must face heavenly calamity if they cultivate to extremely high depths. Once they have crossed it, Taoist Xianyun will step onto a new level on the road of cultivation. Once they fail, they will end up with physical consequences. The path of death disappears.
This news made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly become extremely heavy.
Master Jingxin said: "This is the greatest joy of Wuji Sect. Master will definitely survive the soul calamity."
Master Qingxuan said: "Yes, Master has made full preparations for this day. The catastrophe will definitely be overcome."
Yulong asked: "When?"
"Master said that the catastrophe will come in no more than a year at most. His old man has found the best place to survive the tribulation. So in a few days, Master will leave the Wuji Sect and wait for the catastrophe there. 's arrival."
"Let's go too."
"Master said that he will only take his godfather with him. We can't help much if we go."
Several peak masters fell into silence for a while.
…
At noon, a team of nearly a hundred disciples came galloping from the Maya Palace. They are all elite disciples of Wuji Sect. All of them are immortal and full of energy. The leaders were clearly thirteen women, wearing Taoist robes and plain clothes, descending from the sky like fairies.
"Look, it's Xing Kui's Thirteen Swords."
The girls at Xing Kuifeng cheered even more excitedly.
"Sister!"
"Senior Sister Zhilan."
"Senior Sister Xu Jing"
…
A group of people walked past the junior disciples and greeted the junior brothers and sisters they had not seen for two years warmly, and the whole square was boiling.
At this time, a middle-aged man strode out from the Duanxian Hall. He was Xiao Yu, the eldest disciple of Taoist Wuji. Xiao Yu said loudly: "The four peak masters ordered the returning disciples to go to Duanxian Hall to discuss matters."
Everyone followed the instructions and walked into the Duanxian Hall together.
Each of these powerful monks must bow before Xiao Yu.
"Senior Brother Xiao, long time no see"
"Hello, Senior Brother Xiao."
Xiao Yu returned the favor with a smile. He is the most senior disciple in the Wuji Sect. Apart from several peak masters, he also has the highest status in the Wuji Sect.
Lin Xue and Xiao Yu from Xingkui Peak met each other's eyes. They looked at each other affectionately, their eyes met, and Lin Xue also walked in.
After everyone bowed, Master Jingxin looked at his thirteen disciples returning safe and sound, and there seemed to be red threads in his eyes. She immediately said: "Get up quickly, just come back." As she said that, she walked forward and looked at the thirteen beloved disciples carefully.
The thirteen women were usually in the Wuji Sect, and Master Jingxin doted on them like daughters. This time, they were sent away to fight for two years. They all missed their master day and night, and they immediately gathered around them. Hug me, cry me, cry, no manners.
The two peak masters, Yulong and Qingxuan, were naturally not as rude as Master Jingxin, but they were affected by her emotions at the moment. He also walked up to his disciples to greet them. The atmosphere in the entire hall was filled with warmth. Even Xiao Yu, who was standing by the door, felt warm in his heart. Then he couldn't help but fix his eyes on Lin Xue...
As the current actual helmsman of Wuji Sect, Wuji Dao Zun still has to take care of it.
He sat upright, assuming the posture of an elder, and said in a deep voice: "The monsters in the south are causing trouble. As a true sect of cultivation, our Wuji Sect has no shirking responsibility. In the past two years, you have fought against the monsters and brought glory to the sect. You also defended the sect. Southern Xinjiang Continent. You are indispensable."
In the hall, Zhao Xin of Broken String Peak said: "Master, it is our responsibility to resist the monsters. What's more, the experience of the past two years has also been a training for us."
Xia Zhilan from Xingkui Peak said: "Yes, uncle. The battles with monsters in the past two years have greatly increased our strength."
Taoist Wuji was very satisfied with the answers of his disciples. He smiled and said: "You have indeed grown a lot. This time, the master has also given you disciples a big reward. The master has decided to open a sword tomb for you."
Sword Tomb can be said to be the cornucopia of Wuji Sect. There are countless powerful magic weapons, rare techniques and superior martial arts inside. Over the years, the sword tomb has been given a mysterious color by its disciples. It is said that there is a good fortune in it that can allow people to reach heaven in one step.
Xia Zhilan has the most straightforward personality among the Thirteen Swords of Xingkui. She immediately asked Lin Xue: "Sister, you are the only one who has entered the sword tomb once on Xingkui Peak. What is it like inside?"
When Xia Zhilan asked, she immediately attracted many pairs of eyes.
Lin Xue said: "I have only entered the first level. There are many magic weapons inside."
Master Jingxin said: "The real good things in the Sword Tomb are all in the depths. This time the second level of the Sword Tomb will also be opened. You all have a chance to get a place to enter the depths."
Master Yulong said: "I guess the master of Blue Rock Peak will select you based on your cultivation level."
The disciples in the audience began to feel excited. Especially the disciples with the highest cultivation levels, such as Zhao Xin and Lu Fang.
Xu Jing from Xingkui Peak said: "Uncle, this choice is unfair to us at Xingkui Peak."
As we all know, Xingkui Thirteen and Ten Swords can defeat the god-transforming monks together. But fighting alone, these girls are not the strongest among Wuji Sect disciples, and the most powerful senior sister Lin Xue is not ranked among the top ten among all the first-generation disciples.
Master Jingxin smiled and said: "The master of Blue Rock Peak has always been eclectic in his actions, and he may not choose based on his level of cultivation. All of you present have a chance to be selected."
Qingxuan said: "It is more reasonable for each of our peaks to share the quota equally."
Taoist Wuji smiled and said: "We can't make the decision on this matter. In the end, it's up to Senior Feng Lan to make the decision." After speaking, he turned to his disciples in the audience and said, "Even if the Disciples of Broken String Peak don't have the chance to enter the Sword Tomb, I will also reward you generously."
The Duanxian Peak disciple said: "Thank you so much, Master"
The rest of the peak masters still can't see the intention of the senior brother. Not to be outdone at the moment, they both made promises of serious injury.
Master Qingxuan said: "Okay, don't just be happy. Let's talk about the current situation in the south in detail."
Lu Fang said: "Let me tell Master, the monster chaos in the south has subsided now, but...according to the monks in the Hidden Immortal Valley, the beast tide has only retreated temporarily. It will inevitably break out again. So most of our disciples stay in the Hidden Immortal Valley. , to prevent any more monsters from crossing the border.”
Taoist Wuji: "Well, you handled this matter very well. The monsters in the Dead Forest in the south have not attacked our human territory on such a large scale for thousands of years. Why is it this time?"
Disciple Zhao Xin replied: "Master, according to the guesses of the monks in the Hidden Immortal Valley, this beast tide is due to a huge change in the Death Lake Forest."
"What happened?"
"We are still investigating, but if we want to know the specific situation in the Beast Realm, we need to go deep into the Death Swamp Forest."
Master Jingxin said: "That's too dangerous. Humans must never go deep into the beast's realm."
Taoist Wuji sighed, "Hey, if the Southern Beast Territory is in chaos, the consequences will be disastrous."
