"Master, today is the day for outer disciples to go to the back mountain of the sect for trials."
Fairy Qinglian replied, "However, in the back mountain, there appeared a golden leopard king who had been dormant and was not discovered by us when we were clearing the back mountain. His actual combat ability was comparable to that of a cultivator who had just entered the Jindan stage, causing heavy casualties to the younger generations of my sect."
"oh?"
The head of the sect raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Is there such a thing? It seems that in the future, the cleaning operations in the sect's back mountain will have to be more frequent and detailed."
"Yes."
Elder Zou said at the side: "In this incident, there are two disciples who have performed outstandingly."
Hearing this, Lin Li, who had always felt that it had nothing to do with the matter, finally perked up and began to feel a little bit of anticipation.
have no idea…
Master, what reward will you give me
"Tell me about it."
The headmaster nodded but did not end his meditation.
It seems that he has been in meditation for a long time.
"Among them, the one who performed most outstandingly was Lin Li."
When Luo Zhiyuan heard Elder Zou mention Lin Li first, his eyes dimmed for a moment, but there was no longer any trace of jealousy.
After all, this is true!
Lin Li did not compete for the credit, but as an outer sect disciple in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he killed the Golden Leopard King, which was indeed a remarkable achievement!
Elder Zou said: "He is a new outer sect disciple who was admitted today. His cultivation is at the middle stage of Qi Refining. However, he saved the life of a fellow disciple in the accident in the back mountain, and also..."
When he said this, the young junior fellow who was saved by Lin Li, who was standing beside him, probably didn't know the rules, and quickly corrected him: "No, no, no! Elder! You are wrong!"
"oh?"
Elder Zou's face darkened, but the head of the sect said with interest, "Elder Zou is always meticulous, but he still makes mistakes? How bizarre! Little disciple, tell me, what did Elder Zou say wrong?"
"Reporting to the Master!"
The junior brother clasped his fists and bowed, saying respectfully: "Brother Lin Li, I was not the only one he saved! In fact, he saved nine brothers. Unfortunately, three of them were later bitten to death by the Golden Leopard King. Now, except for Brother Luo, the six brothers here were all saved by Lin Li alone. If you don't believe me, you can ask other brothers!"
"hiss?!"
Even the well-informed headmaster, who was as white-haired as a beard, could not help but gasp in surprise at this moment, and then asked in confusion: "Lin Li, you are only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, how can you save the lives of so many fellow disciples, and kill the Golden Leopard King who is in the great perfection of Foundation Establishment?"
This is really unbelievable and completely beyond common sense!
"My Lord, I just saw injustice and drew my sword to help. I just happened to meet some brothers who needed help on the road."
Lin Li said modestly, "As for the Golden Leopard King, it was all thanks to Senior Brother Luo, who bravely fought against it head-on, consuming a large number of talismans and being seriously injured in the fight. It took a lot of time for us to wait for the two Jindan-stage seniors to come to our aid. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have all died before the two sect seniors arrived. In addition, it was also all thanks to the two Jindan-stage seniors that the Golden Leopard King was seriously injured. I was lucky enough to use my weapon to cut open the Golden Leopard King's abdomen while it was not paying attention, and took the opportunity to drill into its body and destroy its internal organs."
"I see."
The headmaster nodded with sudden realization.
Luo Zhiyuan, with a dim look in his eyes, looked at Lin Li with great satisfaction and gratitude, thinking that it was not in vain that he had just spent so many talismans and was seriously injured in the fight with the Golden Leopard King! This kid Lin Li is a man worth making friends with!
“Brother, Lin Li is right. The second disciple I mentioned just now who performed particularly well in this unexpected incident is Luo Zhiyuan, an inner sect disciple in the late foundation building stage!”
Elder Zou said: "I beg the head brother to reward them generously and inform the whole sect, ordering all the disciples to learn from them! Only in this way can the disciples of the five sects cherish each other and help each other!"
"I would like to add one more thing. I would also like to order Elder Hong of the Dan Sect and Elder Sheng of the Qi Sect, who were in charge of searching the mountain twice before, to reflect on their mistakes! If it weren't for their poor search, which led to a Golden Leopard King in the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage being released into the back mountain, then Luo Zhiyuan, who is in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, would have been enough to take charge!"
Fairy Qinglian said.
"I am aware of both of your suggestions."
The head of the sect said, "You guys go back first. Today, lead the disciples to clean up the mess in the back mountain, bring back the bodies of the disciples who unfortunately died, and bury them properly. Tomorrow, hold a general meeting of the entire sect!"
"Yes, Master!"
…
After leaving the main hall of Tongtian Peak, Fairy Qinglian said, "Now that the matter is settled, I will return to the cave in Tongtian Peak. Brother, please send these disciples back to the mountain gate."
"No problem."
Elder Zou nodded, then he raised his flying sword and led Lin Li and other disciples down the mountain.
If it were not for this, Tongtian Peak is three thousand meters high and covers a very large area. It would take a whole day to go down the mountain and return to the mountain gate where the outer disciples are.
However, now with Elder Zou flying on his sword with everyone, it only took a moment for everyone to fly away from Tongtian Peak and arrive at the mountain gate of Xuantian Sect.
The mountain gate was built at the starting point of the Xuantian Sect’s spiritual vein, and behind it were the Five Peaks of Xuantian.
In addition to cultivation, outer disciples are also responsible for the daily maintenance of the sect.
In fact, the mountain gate of Xuantian Sect does appear to be more vast and densely packed than the buildings on the five peaks of Xuantian.
At the mountain gate, in addition to the outer disciples in charge of affairs, there are also a large number of mortals. As a subordinate department of Xuantian Sect, they are responsible for a series of tasks such as procurement, miscellaneous chores, and cooking.
These mortals within the mountain gate are governed by outer disciples in Xuantian Sect. However, once they leave Xuantian Sect, they all hold high status among the secular mortals in the entire Zhao State!
At the very least, they are all local tyrants!
When they came here, naturally, they also had some delusional dreams of seeking immortality.
As long as one can learn a few moves in the Xuantian Sect and return to the secular martial arts world, he can be called a famous martial arts master!
After dropping Lin Li and the others off at the mountain gate, Elder Zou, along with Luo Zhiyuan, who was also a disciple from the Tongtian Peak Sword Sect, took off from the ground and flew high into the sky.
This scene was seen among the endless stream of people coming and going at the mountain gate, and it immediately attracted people's amazement and they shouted "The Sword Immortal has appeared".
