Chapter 178
Fantasy Sword Sect.
The first time Xiao Zhan heard this name was when he first met Fang Yu.
At that time, Fang Yu was chased by Li Yu from the famous Sword Sect to Huangzhou. Xiao Zhan met him and helped Fang Yu fight away Li Yu.
At that time, Xiao Zhan asked who was the most powerful in Qingzhou.
Fang Yu said at the time that the most powerful one was the master of the Fantasy Sword Sect, who was at the peak of the God King Realm a hundred years ago.
But Xiao Zhan can now be sure that the peak of the God King Realm is by no means the most powerful in Qingzhou.
Because Bai Qishan, who is now in charge of Huangzhou and guarding the treasure house of Huangzhou, is the pinnacle of the God King Realm.
And Bai Qishan said personally that there are two people in the Qingtian Sect alone that he cannot beat.
Unlike the Qingtian Sect, which occupies a vast area, the Huanjian Sect is located on a volcano that is ten thousand feet high.
This volcano is black and towering like a cloud.
Standing in the distance, you can only see the lower half of the volcano. Many Huanjian Sect disciples are patrolling and no one is allowed to get close without permission.
And through the clouds and mist, I could vaguely see the shadow of a huge fiery red sword protruding from the crater, reaching as high as the top.
Xiao Zhan quickly approached the huge volcano and was stopped about ten miles away.
What appeared in front of Xiao Zhan were two men wearing white clothes and holding long swords.
They looked at Xiao Zhan and asked in a routine manner:
"Brother, why do you want to come to our Fantasy Sword Sect?"
Seeing that the other party was very polite, Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and said:
"Two senior brothers, I have always admired the reputation of the Fantasy Sword Sect, and I also want to join the Fantasy Sword Sect."
One of the disciples frowned, shook his head and said: "Our Huanjian Sect has been busy with many affairs recently, and we do not plan to recruit disciples for the time being. You should come back later."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Two senior brothers, I came from Qingfeng City, which is far away."
"Qingfeng City?" The two Fantasy Sword Sect disciples frowned instantly:
"Qingfeng City is the closest to Qingtian Sect. Why don't you try to join Qingtian Sect instead of coming all the way to our Fantasy Sword Sect?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Although Qingtian Sect has a great reputation, one of my relatives was kidnapped by Qingtian Sect and his life and death are still uncertain. Therefore, I hate Qingtian Sect."
The two Fantasy Sword Sect disciples looked better, nodded and said:
"Our Fantasy Sword Sect has indeed been preparing for some things recently, and matters such as recruiting disciples have been stopped."
"But we can help you ask. Just wait here. We will answer you within a day."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said thank you, "Thank you two senior brothers."
The two Fantasy Sword Sect disciples nodded, then turned around and left quickly.
Xiao Zhan found a stone, sat down cross-legged, and then began to talk about his luck.
Most of the day passed, and the two disciples appeared again.
Xiao Zhan stood up, clasped his fists, and asked with a smile: "How are you two senior brothers?"
One of them laughed and said:
"Although our Huanjian Sect does not recruit disciples now, Elder Zhao heard that a relative of yours was arrested by Qingtian Sect, and he sympathized with you."
"Junior brother, come with us. We will take you directly to Elder Zhao. If you pass his assessment, you can join our Fantasy Sword Sect."
Xiao Zhan thanked them and followed the two of them towards the Fantasy Sword Sect.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the foot of the huge volcano.
Only then did Xiao Zhan see that on this huge volcanic peak, palaces and houses were built with volcanic rocks, which looked extremely spectacular.
There is also dark and hard volcanic stone under your feet, and you can even feel the temperature emanating from the mountain.
"Junior brother, we don't know your name yet."
Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and smiled:
"I'm Xiao Wuming."
The two Fantasy Sword Sect disciples also smiled and nodded, and introduced each other.
One of them is named Kong Wu and the other is Huang Che. They have joined the Fantasy Sword Sect for five years.
Not long after, Xiao Zhan was brought to a dark palace halfway up the mountain by the two of them.
The two of them took Xiao Zhan into the palace and saw an old man wearing a white robe with white beard and hair, frowning at the list of names piled up like a hill in front of him.
Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and shouted, "Elder Zhao."
Elder Zhao raised his head and glanced at Xiao Zhan, then withdrew his gaze and said slowly:
"You shouldn't be recruiting disciples right now, but for the sake of your sincerity, I can give you a chance."
"In special circumstances, there is no need to take complicated assessments."
"I will give you a task. If you complete it, you will join our Illusion Sword Sect."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Elder Zhao, please speak."
Elder Zhao picked up a roster of disciples and threw it to Xiao Zhan with a flick of his wrist:
"The disciples on the list are all in the Dan Lake realm, and the one who has joined our Fantasy Sword Sect has been at least ten years old."
"You go to their residence and inform them to gather here at noon tomorrow and I will give them anything I have."
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, not quite understanding what kind of mission this was.
However, Xiao Zhan still nodded, said thank you and exited the palace.
Kong Wu and Huang Che looked at the list in Xiao Zhan's hand, and their expressions suddenly turned ugly.
"Junior brother Xiao Wuming, the senior brothers here are all in the Dan Lake realm and are basically in retreat. It's probably not easy for you to wake them up."
"Yes, Junior Brother Xiao, the people on this list are all the top geniuses of our Fantasy Sword Sect."
"If you wake them up for seclusion, they might attack you in anger."
Xiao Zhan was stunned, "How about asking two senior brothers to accompany me?"
Kong Wu and Sun Ce trembled and waved their hands quickly:
"Junior Brother Xiao, please do what you can."
"If things don't work out, then you just give up and it won't be too late to join the Illusion Sword Sect after a while."
After saying that, Kong Wu and Sun Ce ran away as if they were running away.
Xiao Zhan was still wearing his own clothes at this time, which formed a sharp contrast with the disciples of the Huanjian Sect passing by, attracting a lot of attention.
A female disciple happened to be passing by and frowned slightly:
"Junior brother, where is your disciple uniform?"
"If you don't wear disciple uniforms in the sect, you will be deducted points."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'm not a disciple of the Fantasy Sword Sect yet. Elder Zhao asked me to wake up everyone on the roster from retreat, and then I can join the Fantasy Sword Sect."
The female disciple was full of surprise. She took the roster from Xiao Zhan's hand, took one look at it and laughed:
"Junior brother, you should go back honestly and come back to our Illusion Sword Sect in a while."
"These senior brothers on the roster don't have very good tempers."
As she spoke, the female disciple pointed in a direction:
"That's where the core disciples live. There are names in front of each courtyard. If you want to try it, go ahead."
Xiao Zhan thanked him and walked quickly towards higher ground.
More than half an hour later, Xiao Zhan walked to a relatively flat place.
Xiao Zhan searched for a while and finally saw a sign at the entrance of a courtyard with the name "Jiang Jun" written on it.
Xiao Zhan tried to shout:
"Senior Brother Jiang, Elder Zhao asked you to gather at his place at noon tomorrow."
"Senior Brother Jiang?"
Thinking that the other party was in retreat, Xiao Zhan waited for more than an hour and shouted again:
"Senior Brother Jiang? Elder Zhao..."
"Get lost! If you beep again, I'll tear your bones apart!" An impatient roar came from the room, carrying a strong pressure that made Xiao Zhan frown.
"Senior Brother Jiang, Elder Zhao asked you to meet at his place at noon tomorrow."
"I've brought you the news. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.
There was no sound in the room. It was obvious that Jiang Jun was not angry at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan searched for a while and came to a courtyard again.
The owner of this courtyard is Chen Xue, a senior sister.
Xiao Zhan also shouted softly:
"Sister Chen Xue, Elder Zhao asked you to..."
"Noisy!" A clear scolding sound came from the house, "Didn't you see the 'retreating' sign at the entrance of the courtyard?"
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Chen Xue, things happened for a reason. Elder Zhao asked you to meet at his place at noon tomorrow."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, a red figure suddenly rushed into the yard, "Stop!"
Xiao Zhan paused and looked at the woman in red.
She had short hair that just fell to her shoulders and exuded a strong aura. She asked coldly:
"Did Elder Zhao say what happened?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I didn't say."
Chen Xue said softly, looked at Xiao Zhan, and said:
"In the past, we disciples who are in retreat would not be assigned temporary tasks. What happened this time?"
"Who else did Elder Zhao ask you to notify?"
Xiao Zhan did not speak, but slowly walked to Chen Xue and handed the roster in his hand to Chen Xue.
Chen Xue opened it and took a look, then frowned.
Because the people on the roster are all core disciples, each of them is in the Danhu realm, and some are even senior brothers and sisters who are much more powerful than Chen Xue.
"It seems the matter is serious."
Chen Xue threw the booklet to Xiao Zhan and rushed towards the main hall where Elder Zhao was.
Xiao Zhan nodded. It seemed that Chen Xue still knew his priorities.
After searching this area for a while, Xiao Zhan was stunned but couldn't find anyone else's residence.
After asking a young man, I found out that not all core disciples live here.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xiao Zhan made inquiries and came to a street behind the Huanjian Sect.
There are many disciples of the Fantasy Sword Sect living here, forming a street. Many people will trade the ferocious beasts, genius treasures or other things they have obtained.
Xiao Zhan walked into a restaurant, looked around, and then found two men drinking in a corner.
The two men, both around thirty years old, were drinking and talking about something with a smile.
One of them has a strong build and dark skin, while the other has a face as white as jade and an elegant demeanor.
Xiao Zhan slowly walked to them, cupped his fists and said:
"Senior Brother Yan Xu, Senior Brother Hu Ge."
The two of them turned to look at Xiao Zhan at the same time.
Yan Xu, who had an angry look on his face, smiled and nodded, and asked, "Junior brother, what can I do?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and said truthfully: "Elder Zhao asked you two to go find him at noon tomorrow. There are important tasks to be arranged."
The dark-skinned Hu Ge frowned:
"Important mission, how important it is, is it important that we drink?"
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly.
"Just kidding," Hu Ge laughed loudly, and he and Yan Xu stood up and said, "Okay, we get it."
Xiao Zhan nodded, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's back, Hu Ge raised his eyebrows and asked Yan Xu:
"Did you feel it?"
Yan Xu nodded, with a flash of doubt in his eyes, "This junior brother is only at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, but the way he looks at us doesn't contain any unnecessary emotions."
"And I sensed an aura of danger from him."
Hu Ge smiled and nodded, "It seems that our Fantasy Sword Sect is about to produce another genius."
With that said, the two of them walked side by side towards the main hall where Elder Zhao was.
Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but frown.
There are only a few hours left until noon tomorrow.
But most of the people on the roster have not been notified yet.
This won't work!
If he fails to pass Elder Zhao's assessment, then he will have no chance to stay in the Huanjian Sect, let alone the Sutra Storage Pavilion of the Huanjian Sect. How will he get back the remains of the Lord of the Wild State?
Putting away his thoughts, Xiao Zhan began to think.
Like now, one notification after another is obviously too late.
Because I don’t even know where they are.
For now, we can only think of some way to get them to show up.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan came to the largest restaurant on the street again.
Xiao Zhan walked to a group of young people who were toasting and drinking, then took out a True Essence Stone exchange coupon and placed it on the table, cupping his fists and saying:
"I'll pay for your drinks."
The eight people at this table all looked at Xiao Zhan with doubts in their eyes.
One of them asked curiously: "This junior brother is so cool, why does he invite us to drink for no reason?"
Xiao Zhan sat down cross-legged and said in a deep voice: "I just joined the Huanjian Sect's disciples today. It's normal for you senior brothers not to know me."
"I just feel bored and want to meet some senior brothers for a drink."
Everyone looked at the True Essence Stone redemption coupon on the table. Good guy, the denomination was actually one thousand True Essence Stones.
You know, their meal of wine would cost them dozens of True Essence Stones even if it broke the sky.
With his wealthy appearance, he clearly belongs to a wealthy family.
Thinking of this, a senior brother took a wine bowl, filled it up for Xiao Zhan, and asked casually:
"What are you upset about, junior brother?"
Xiao Zhan explained the assessment that Elder Zhao gave him.
After listening, these eight people were stunned.
"So, you are not a disciple of our Fantasy Sword Sect yet?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's why I'm upset."
"Brothers, do you have any good ways to help me?"
