Ziyan Sect is one of the two fourth-grade sects in Dongxuan Mountain.
Compared with the third-grade sects, the fourth-grade sects have completely different strength and background. In the entire grave sea, it is the absolute overlord and enjoys many resources.
There are many talented people in the sect, so the assessment requirements for outsiders are naturally more stringent.
Palace Master Mo's reminders and suggestions to Xiao Chen were not intentional, he was really telling the truth. If it is someone close to you, he will be more severe or even reject it outright.
However, after Xiao Chen said that they were neither relatives nor friends, he naturally would not bother to say more.
In the Ziyan Palace.
The young man leading the way, holding the palace master's handwriting, was chatting in a low voice with an old man with a white beard.
With a little exercise, Xiao Chen could easily hear these contents, but he did not do so.
Since the other party intends to control it, then it is up to the other party.
After a while, the white-bearded old man nodded slightly, asked Xiao Chen to come over, and said softly: "Our Ziyan Sect has always upheld the rules of Dongxuan Mountain, so we will give you this opportunity."
Xiao Chen said calmly: "Thank you."
"Don't be too happy yet. This recommendation letter won't allow you to enter the Purple Flame Sect, and there won't be any discounts on your assessment requirements."
Xiao Chen nodded without any complaints: "I don't need any special care, just give me this opportunity."
"It's a good thing for young people to have confidence, but if they are too ambitious, then..."
The white-bearded old man stopped at this point and said casually: "Let's wait a few days. After a while, the Ziyan Sect will branch out in various places in the grave sea and send some elites to directly enter the sect. By then, I’ll send you to Dongxuan Mountain with them.”
"They are originally the elites of the Purple Flame Sect's helm. They broke out after many competitions, so they do not need to be assessed. I hope you can understand this."
"I understand. Then I won't waste senior's time. I'll go down first."
Whitebeard looked at Xiao Chen and nodded slightly. Although his strength was low, his mentality was quite good.
But I wanted to join the Ziyan Sect, but I chose the wrong sect.
…
Seven days later, the elite disciples from the Ziyan Sect branch and Xiao Chen came. We took the same boat and headed to Dongxuan Mountain under the leadership of the old man with a white beard.
On the deck, elite disciples from various divisions gathered together and chatted happily, each looking very excited.
Knowing that he is going to enter Dongxuan Mountain to practice, anyone will be excited, and that may be the reason why he can reach the sky in one step.
Xiao Chen was not very optimistic. This group of people had just entered Dongxuan Mountain. When they entered the main helm, they would definitely be suppressed a lot.
On weekdays, when they are at the helm, they are all top-notch figures, but when they reach the general helm, they are mediocre. It is difficult to change this mentality.
It takes a long time to adapt.
Three of them had very good cultivation and were favored by Xiao Chen.
A sword-wielding man in purple clothes named Bai Feng, whose cultivation reached the peak of Xiaoyuan Dan. His swordsmanship is quite exquisite, and what is even more rare is that he has understood 90% of the sword soul.
In the vast world, it is considered very remarkable. Most swordsmen can be proud of themselves if they can cultivate their sword intent to the peak.
However, the man in purple can reach a higher realm, surpassing the sword intention and condensing the sword soul.
There is another person, a young man who wields a knife, with a stern face and quite arrogance, named Leng Yuan.
The remaining one is a woman named Yang Qing, whose cultivation is also at the peak of Xiaoyuan Dan. He majored in ice attribute techniques, but he didn't give off the feeling of being cold and cold.
On the contrary, he has a smile on his face and is quite popular.
If I'm not mistaken, this woman is the strongest among the three, but she doesn't like to show off in any particular way, so it's hard for outsiders to see that.
Pay attention to these three people, there is no other purpose, mainly just to take a look at them casually out of boredom.
He is not worried about the Ziyan Sect's assessment, he will definitely pass it.
The worry is whether senior Zhi Feng is still in the Ziyan Sect. If he wasn't there, his trip would be in vain.
Without a close senior, he might have sacrificed himself under the pressure of the Black Lotus Leader.
There are many rumors about the mysterious leader. The most horrifying rumor is that he once fought with a master monk who was a king of Buddhism and escaped with his life.
After three days of sailing, everyone at the helm has become familiar with each other. There are quite a few among them, competing with each other and each having their own discussions.
On this day, under the cheers of everyone, the strongest swordsman Bai Feng and the strongest swordsman Leng Yuan were ready to have a duel.
Let's see who is the strongest elite going to Dongxuan Mountain this time.
The two stood still and bowed, and Bai Feng chose to attack first.
Prepare to rely on yourself to understand the advantages of the sword soul, seize the opportunity, and not give the swordsman Leng Yuan a chance to counterattack.
The sword light flashed, and Bai Feng condensed the sword soul. Every move contained powerful momentum.
The entire sword power was continuous and heavy, yet as fast as the peak, with no flaws visible.
On the other hand, Leng Yuan's thick-backed sword with a rather domineering and fierce shape in his hand seemed particularly bulky compared to Bai Feng's elegant sword light.
The situation was just as Bai Feng expected. He was firmly in his own hands. He would gain the upper hand every step of the way.
On the field, there were cheers of applause.
"Senior Brother Bai's swordsmanship is really exquisite!"
"After understanding the sword soul, it's just different. I wonder if Senior Brother Leng still has a chance to make a comeback."
"It's impossible. They've been suppressed like this. What chance will there be?"
At this moment, Yang Qing, whose cultivation level was almost the same as that of the two people on the field, walked up to Xiao Chen and said, "Master Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Chen felt a little surprised and said honestly: "I don't have any opinion."
Yang Qing was slightly confused and said: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen said in a deep voice: "This sparring is too casual, and neither of them can actually give their best. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control, and there will definitely be damage. Based on this sparring alone, it cannot be said that the true strength of the two people is strength."
"It's a joke. Since both of them are in control, it is enough to show that the competition is fair. Why can't we distinguish between superior and inferior?"
Before Yang Qing could answer, a disciple who had a good relationship with Bai Feng shouted coldly.
Xiao Chen said calmly: "That's because you don't understand swordsmen. The swordsmen who fight in life and death and the swordsmen who usually compete are two different concepts."
While talking, the winner was decided in the competition on the stage.
The swordsman Leng Yuan took the initiative to admit defeat and sheathed his sword.
Bai Feng politely conceded, but there was not much joy of victory on his face, because he also heard what Xiao Chen just said.
Xiao Chen's words made him feel very unhappy in this competition, as if he was invincible.
"With your level of cultivation, are you qualified to talk about swords? If there is a chance, if there is a life and death fight, do you want to say that you can defeat me?"
Bai Feng looked at Xiao Chen and sneered coldly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Yang Qing frowned slightly. Senior Brother Bai's belly was a bit too small.
"Actually, there are opportunities now. I can enter a life-and-death struggle anytime, anywhere."
In the midst of the roar of laughter, Xiao Chen said something salty, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with incredible expressions, everyone knew it. Bai Feng just made fun of him casually and didn't take him seriously at all.
But no one expected that Xiao Chen would take it seriously.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words that he could fight life and death anytime and anywhere, swordsman Leng Yuan's eyes lit up and he showed a trace of suspicion.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, please stop joking, you can see that Senior Brother Bai almost took it seriously."
Yang Qing saw that something was wrong with the situation and quickly tried to smooth things over.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I never joke, at least not to strangers."
Bai Feng's face suddenly darkened, he took a step forward and said angrily: "You are laughing at me, okay, I'll give you this chance. Now I'm here, you try to chop me with a knife. Come on! If you don't do it, It’s grandson…”
Wow!
A flash of knife light was seen, which stung the person's eyes and made him unable to see clearly. When the light of the sword disappeared, Bai Feng took off into the air, flew out of the ship, and landed in the sea of stars.
The people on the deck looked shocked and dumbfounded.
Xiao Chen looked at Yang Qing and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I really rarely joke."
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment, but he still hadn't realized what was going on.
It took a long time for someone to wake up, and quickly ran to the side of the boat, shouting Bai Feng's name loudly, because they had no idea where Xiao Chen had sent him flying.
