But on the fifth day, Li Huanzhen finally learned the cause of the incident.
He had nothing to do on this day, practicing sword control, flying in the foothills between Sifang Peak and Law Enforcement Peak, and met several Xuanji disciples, and one of them was Wan Changsheng, a disciple of Qu Mingfeng who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony with him. Later, they also supported the Dongzhou Corpse Rebellion together.
"Hey, isn't this Li Huanzhen? How dare you return to Xuanji!" Wan Changsheng said with a sneer when he saw Li Huanzhen.
"Why don't you dare." After hearing Wan Changsheng's sarcastic words, Li Huanzhen retorted.
"You colluded with the devil to assassinate Uncle Mu. My master has already found out the truth, and you still dare to speak out nonsense here!" Wan Changsheng revealed a shocking piece of news.
"It was him who killed my master!" said a disciple from the Weapon Refining Peak.
"Perhaps he is the insider who infiltrated Xuanji, the evil heretic!" A disciple also started to make noises.
"That's right, he actually survived in the dangerous southern wilderness, and was picked up by Senior Sister to bring Xuanji back. There must be something fishy in it!" said a disciple.
. . .
For a time, everything was said, including sarcastic words and sarcastic comments, adding insult to injury.
Li Huanzhen felt all this while being ridiculed by the disciples around him. His mind was very confused. He didn't know what he was talking about by colluding with the devil to kill Mu Donglai. He was stunned in place without saying a word.
In the end, Li Huan really returned to Shangqing Peak. He didn't visit anyone that day. He felt that he needed to be quiet and think about something carefully.
Late at night, in the cold Zuixian Courtyard, a few rays of starlight shone, making it dim and quiet.
"Cough cough cough cough..." Li Huanzhen suddenly coughed a few times and coughed up blood, which dyed the bluish-white clothes of Xuanji disciples into a miserable color. He wiped the bloodshot eyes from the corners of his mouth, looked up at the stars, and was in a daze. His true energy was going retrograde, but he didn't care about it. He just sat there and felt his eyes go dark and fainted. . . .
When he woke up, it was already the seventh day, and his master had not come back yet. Senior Brother Lu had a lot of work and no time to see him. A feeling of loneliness that he had never felt before crept into his heart, and his whole person began to feel confused.
Li Huan really didn't know how he came to Xuanji Peak. When he and many disciples of Xuanji stood under the competition list, he saw his today's opponent - Chen Siquan written next to his name.
Ever since he woke up in the morning, he felt nervous for some reason. Although he knew that he was probably here to see something, he still had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Along the way, he heard the disciples pointing fingers from behind. With his rumors and Wan Changsheng's slander against him, he felt that the suppressed anger in his body was about to be uncontrollable.
"Junior Brother Huanzhen, you are here!" At this time, Lu Yibai walked out of the crowd and walked to Li Huanzhen, who was alone. "I originally planned to go to Shangqing Peak to find you, but my master kept me here to maintain order."
He changed his mind to calm down and quietly asked Lu Yibai who was standing next to him, "Senior Brother Lu, have you heard about the rumors about me in the sect?"
"I heard it, but it's true, junior brother, the master and the others didn't say you were a demon. It was just a mess that Uncle Zhao found somewhere. And whether it's Nanhuang or Dongzhou, I'm always with you. We have experienced it together. If you are a heretic, then I am too. Don’t take it to heart. Just concentrate on participating in the trial. When uncle Shi comes back, these rumors will disappear!" Lu Yibai said: "It's true. Junior brother, don’t be nervous, this senior brother Chen Siquan comes from the same lineage as me and is also the apprentice of my master Yang Wanliu. It doesn’t matter, I am very nervous when I participate in the trial for the first time. Just get on the ring and it will be fine."
At this time, a disciple standing aside came over and said with a malicious smile: "Hey, brothers, why don't we make a bet. Let's bet on Xuan Jing to see how the outcome is this time!"
"Okay, okay, I bet that Senior Brother Chen will win!"
"Me too!"
"Me too, by the way, I'll do double duty!"
"count me in."
Lu Yibai was furious, pointed at everyone and said, "What are you doing? Junior Brother Li's competition is about to begin, why don't you attack him?"
Li Huanzhen was extremely grateful and shouted: "Senior Brother Lu"
Lu Yibai: "Junior Brother Liu... I'll pay five for the bet you made just now!"
"..." Li Huazhen looked helpless.
Perhaps everyone, including Lu Yibai, thought that this was a person with no hope at all.
During the trial meeting, Xuanji's palm peaks would all sit down to watch the ceremony, otherwise it would be difficult to control the young disciples if they were young and energetic and ruthless.
A total of forty-nine people participated in this year's Dao Trial. Among them, there was one more Li Huanzhen, who was an elite disciple selected from each peak. The trial was held in four rounds. All group duels were held at the same time, and the strongest one was finally determined. disciple,
The top eight disciples will receive rewards from their masters, either rare magic weapons or high-grade elixirs. The strongest disciple in the previous session was Gu Yizhi. Originally, he was also a popular candidate for this session, but there are important masters. I couldn't get back from the door task, so I missed this question trial.
Therefore, the most popular candidate this time is senior sister Luo Yueran.
Li Huanzhen and Chen Siquan are not popular candidates for the Wenwen Trial, so most of Xuanji's disciples are watching the competitions of Luo Yueran, Qi Yuankai and other Xuanji elite disciples at the main trial stage, while Li Huanzhen and his friends are doing this marginal trial. There were only a dozen or so better disciples of Yi Shangfeng and Chen Siquan standing on the stage, watching.
Although Lu Yibai bet on Chen Siquan to win, he still cheered for Li Huanzhen from the bottom and was the only one cheering for Li Huanzhen in the audience.
The host of Li Huanzhen's event was Zhou Yanshan of Dengshi Peak Zhangfeng. Li Huanzhen and Chen Siquan walked over, came to Zhou Yanshan, bent down and gave a salute, saying: "Uncle Master."
Zhou Yanshan turned his head to look at them, nodded, and said solemnly: "Master Xuanji is here. Now our descendants Chen Siquan of Yishang Peak and Li Huanzhen of Shangqing Peak are participating in the Dao Trial. You two can show what you have learned." , but you must remember to hit the mark, do not kill, do not cause death, if one side admits defeat, or falls off the stage, it is the loser. Before the competition, pay homage to Grandmaster Xuanji."
The two of them responded and paid homage to the stone statue of Xuanjizi in the distance.
Then the two of them stepped into the trial stage. Li Huanzhen's face turned red and he quickly bowed and said, "Li Huanzhen, please ask Senior Brother Chen for advice."
Chen Siquan smiled and said: "Don't dare. There are many talented people in the world. Although Junior Brother Li is young, before the competition, he still stood on the stage with a calm expression. There was no anxiety or timidity. He was much better than I was back then. There are too many, I admire them."
Li Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, senior brother, I was actually in a daze just now."
