"Offended Prince Ning? You are talking about the head of Fengyu Holy Monastery, Prince Ning Zhao Jieli. How can he, a small family from a remote town, have the courage to offend Prince Ning?"
Bai Qiufeng was stunned when he heard this, showing an expression of disbelief.
The biggest threat to the Dragon and Tiger Sect in the Northern Jin Kingdom was actually not the two wealthy families, the Li family and the Jiang family, but the royal family far away in Wudu City.
In the Northern Jin Dynasty, powerful sects were often on one side, with aloof status and disobedient to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Especially a sect like the Longhu Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years and ranks among the top in strength in the entire northwest territory, will not take the Northern Jin Dynasty's court seriously.
Over the years, many sects have risen strongly, either becoming kings of the mountains, or dominating one area, imitating the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and ostensibly submitting to the Northern Jin Dynasty. In fact, they have formed their own system, owning their own towns and cities, and exerting influence over the Northern Jin Dynasty. The court's orders were ignored.
The royal family of the Northern Jin Dynasty naturally dared not speak out against these sects. Although the imperial power was powerful, it only affected civilians and ordinary organizations. Most of the sects like the Dragon and Tiger Sect had a certain background. There are powerful people in the gate who are very powerful, and they don't dare to provoke them easily.
Because of this, the imperial court began to establish Fengyu Holy Temple in Wudu City, the capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty. It was cultivated as a direct sect of the imperial court. It spent a lot of financial and material resources to recruit experts from northern Xinjiang. Finally, in the past hundred years, Fengyu Holy Temple was established. The Holy Academy developed into a huge sect that stood side by side with the Dragon and Tiger Sect.
Although the Dragon and Tiger Sect has a profound foundation and has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, it has never been able to develop because of its complacency and settled in a corner. It was pressed step by step by Feng Yu Shengyuan and was almost forced to a desperate situation.
If Bai Qiufeng hadn't taken the risk to win over some aristocratic families in time to increase his financial and material resources, he would have been cannibalized bit by bit by Fengyu Holy Court.
"Is it possible that people like the Ye family don't know that they have offended such a giant as Prince Ning?" Bai Qiufeng still couldn't believe what Bai Chengfeng said.
Bai Chengfeng also said solemnly: "If I don't investigate Ye Feng's background, I will definitely not accept him as a direct disciple. Therefore, I have sent people to Silver Moon City, where the Ye family is located, to investigate Ye Feng. The details of the family are only about the Ye family, which is indeed not very detailed. According to the information I have obtained so far, I only know that the Ye family has been in Silver Moon City for a long time. It seems that it was as early as the founding of the Northern Jin Dynasty. Already exist in that area!”
"It seems that King Ning is so interested in a mere Ye family. He must have discovered some unknown secret. Chengfeng, please send more people to pay attention to the movements of the Ye family at any time. Wudu City should also be extremely careful Pay attention, if Prince Ning does anything, you must report it to me in time!"
"Yes!" Bai Chengfeng became unusually serious in front of his brother.
"The Li family and the Jiang family are free to do whatever they want for the time being. They just need to be careful not to let important departments like the Treasure Pavilion fall into their hands!" Bai Qiufeng continued.
"Don't worry about this matter. All the core departments in the Dragon Tiger Sect have our confidants. Once the Li family and the Jiang family make any rash moves, we will definitely find out immediately. However, we must not alert the snake now. If we let The Li family and the Jiang family realized that we were going to deal with them, so they gave up their support for the Longhu Sect and switched to the Fengyu Holy Academy, which would be a great disadvantage to us!" Bai Chengfeng said with a solemn expression.
Bai Qiufeng hesitated for a moment, suddenly remembered an extremely important fact, and asked quickly.
"This nine-sect trial is of great importance. You have chosen the candidates to participate in the trial. The Li family and the Jiang family are going to take six places. We still have four places in our hands. These four places are up to It’s very important. If we can win the first place, it will be easier to deal with these problems in the future!”
Bai Chengfeng nodded and said: "I have determined two of the places, namely Ye Feng and Ning Jie. The cultivation of these two people has made great progress in recent times, and they should be able to get good names. , let the sect master decide the remaining two places!"
Afterwards, the two brothers of the Bai family secretly discussed the matter of the nine sect trials in detail. It was not until a glow appeared in the sky that Bai Chengfeng quietly left the sect master's palace.
After returning to the Treasure Pavilion, Bai Chengfeng found Yang Han without stopping.
As Ye Feng expected, he had high hopes from the sect master and Bai Chengfeng. If he could get a good ranking in this trial, Bai Chengfeng would never stand by and watch his family.
However, before that, Bai Chengfeng had other plans for Ye Feng, which was why he immediately found Yang Han.
Although Yang Han was quite surprised and puzzled by Bai Chengfeng's order, he never liked to meddle in other people's business, let alone ask questions about it, so after learning Bai Chengfeng's order, he immediately rushed to bed. Huyuan, go to Ye Feng to discuss the matter.
"Since Senior Brother Yang is here, please come in. The house is humble and simple, so please don't take offense to Senior Brother Yang!"
Yang Han had just walked to the door of Ye Feng's stone house and was hesitating about how to tell Ye Feng about this. Ye Feng's voice had already come out.
Yang Han was not surprised by this. He opened the door and walked into the stone house. He saw a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, smiling and sitting cross-legged on a simple wooden board in the stone house.
"Junior Brother Ye lives in such a ghost place?" Yang Han was greatly surprised by the environment Ye Feng was in. He never thought that a genius disciple whose cultivation level was comparable to his own would have such a bad cultivation environment.
"What happened here?" Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this, looked at the furnishings in the stone house, and said somewhat speechlessly, "Senior brother, I feel extremely lucky to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the Dragon Tiger Sect. And although this place is simple and remote, no one will disturb my practice!"
"We don't even have a decent bed. Let the outsiders know how our Dragon and Tiger Sect treats the disciples with outstanding qualifications and talents in our sect. Who else will come to our Dragon and Tiger Sect? No, wait until we go back." From now on, I will definitely report this matter to Master and find you a new place to live!" Yang Han said reluctantly.
Yang Han's words made Ye Feng feel warm in his heart. He didn't expect that this senior brother, who seemed to be ordinary and careless about worldly matters, would actually pay so much attention to his daily life.
In fact, Ye Feng's requirements for the practice environment are not as strict as those of other disciples. Yang Han was not a nosy person originally. He was so annoyed with Ye Feng's residence this time because he favored Ye Feng. In addition, They all become disciples of the same master, so their relationship is naturally extraordinary.
In terms of the character of protecting one's shortcomings, this senior brother is quite similar to Bai Chengfeng.
Although Ye Feng didn't want to trouble Yang Han, he couldn't continue to argue with him about this matter.
"Elder brother came to my place early in the morning, didn't he just come to see where I live?" Ye Feng said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Uh!" Yang Han was startled when he heard this. It wasn't until Ye Feng reminded him that he remembered the purpose of coming to find him this time.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot important things!" Yang Han turned around, locked the door again, then walked up to Ye Feng with a serious expression, and whispered: "Junior brother Ye is very worried about this external event. What does Mendabi think?"
"Outer sect competition?" Ye Feng didn't expect that the senior brother would come to him because of this matter. "What do you think of the outer sect competition? I really haven't thought about this. Among the outer sect disciples, isn't that the one with the highest cultivation level?" Zhao Wan, there are also some so-called top ten masters, their cultivation levels are all around the martial arts realm, and they cannot pose a threat to me at all!"
"Humph!" Yang Han sneered, shook his head and said, "If you were an outer sect master and it was so simple, you would be totally wrong!"
"Could there be any unexpected changes in it?" Ye Mo said in confusion, "Elder brother, please stop showing off!"
"The truth is indeed not as simple as you think!" Yang Han seemed to have remembered something, and said in a somewhat excited tone, "Back then, I also practiced in the outer sect to the third level of Yuanwu Realm early. I thought I could easily obtain the outer sect. At the top of the sect competition, unexpectedly, two or three outer sect masters above the Yuanwu Realm suddenly appeared in the middle of the competition. One of them was even at the fourth level of the Yuanwu Realm. In the end, with my strength at the third level of the Yuanwu Realm at that time, I won Only ranked third in the entire outer sect competition?"
"Surprisingly, Senior Brother means that among the outer disciples, there are many disciples who hide their cultivation every year and only show their skills during the outer sect competition?" Ye Mo asked in surprise, "Why are these disciples hiding their abilities?" If they do this, don’t they want to join the inner sect earlier and get the generous treatment from the inner sect?”
"Actually, this matter is easy to explain!" Yang Han sighed, "The reason why these outer sect disciples who are willing to hide their cultivation only show off their skills during the outer sect competition is mostly for the rewards of the sect and to join. As long as the martial arts hall to which the sect belongs is among the top ten, these disciples will become the focus of the three major martial arts halls and will be directly admitted to the martial arts hall for training. The treatment of the martial arts disciples is much better than that of the inner sect disciples. It is also for this reason that he became a blockbuster in the outer sect competition!"
"Besides this, there is another more important reason: the Jiang family and the Li family. They have arranged some disciples with good qualifications and excellent cultivation in the outer sect. Once the competition begins, they will specifically let these disciples The disciples went out to fight and took the opportunity to injure some well-qualified civilian disciples recruited by the Dragon and Tiger Sect, which would affect their future practice. In this way, the Bai family, to which the sect leader belonged, would not be able to receive better disciples to strengthen itself. The strength!"
When Ye Mo heard what Yang Han said, there was indeed a lot of excitement in his heart. His expression soon became gloomy. He didn't expect that the Li family and the Jiang family could do such a nasty thing in order to control the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Absolute means!
