The house is very big, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, we reached a hall. In the hall, a group of people were sitting. One of them, a young man, was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, chatting and laughing with everyone.
Master Chen and his entourage came over. The young man on the couch recognized Zhang Chengcheng at a glance. He stood up suddenly and laughed loudly: "Little girl, since you ran away, you actually dare to come to my door!"
Zhang Chengcheng had someone supporting him and angrily scolded him: "Shameless thing, let my senior sister go now."
Master Chen took a step forward and said calmly: "Master Chen, the dean of the Tiangang Sect, is here to pay his respects. I haven't asked the name of the owner yet."
"You dare to break in without your name. You are very courageous."
A voice seemed to come from all directions. As soon as he heard this voice, Master Chen's expression changed and he shouted: "Your Excellency, your voice sounds familiar, who is it?"
"Brother Chen is so forgetful, don't you remember my little brother? Back then, in the ring, I beat you to the point of vomiting blood with three moves."
Master Chen immediately thought of something, his face turned pale, and he said: "Xu Baji! You actually live here!"
Hearing Xu Baji, Ye Ming also remembered that the other party was known as the number one disciple of authority, and he was the strongest among the disciples of authority at the moment. It was said that his cultivation was not lower than that of his master, and he was a top-grade Tianzun.
The other party laughed "haha": "It's really rare for old friends to get together."
Master Chen took a deep breath and said: "Xu Baji, that man named 'Hua Shao' kidnapped my niece, I hope you can let her go."
"My third son kidnapped someone? Haha, he kidnaps several people and takes them home every day. I never ask questions." The other party seemed to be quite proud of what "Hua Shao" did.
Master Chen knew that it would not be easy to leave today. He said: "Xu Baji, if you are worried, I will go back and report to the upper court to see how the upper court handles it."
"Report to the Upper House? You don't have to go, I am the elder of the Upper House." Xu Baji said with a smile.
Ye Ming secretly called him unlucky, he didn't expect to meet such a person. He secretly asked Master Chen: "Brother, what should we do?"
Master Chen: "There is no need to panic. You are an elite disciple. If you are in danger, someone will protect you."
Ye Ming blinked: "Senior brother, are you saying that someone is protecting me secretly?"
"That's right. At least in the territory of Tiangangmen, there will be experts to protect you." Master Chen said.
Ye Ming: "Senior brother, if I injure this Xu Baji family member, is that okay?"
"Even if you kill Xu Baji, it won't be a big deal." Master Chen said.
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He took a step forward and said, "I have also stayed in the upper courtyard for a few days and have never seen Brother Xu."
The other party snorted: "I guessed right, you are the youngest dean, Ye Ming, right? Why, are you here to ask for someone too?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "The person that 'Master Hua' kidnapped is my daughter. I hope Brother Xu will let her go."
"Sorry, our Xu family only kidnaps people and does not release them." The other party said coldly, "You can discuss with my son whether to release people or not."
The young man was his son. Ye Ming smiled "hehe" and strode into the hall. When he came to the soft couch, he stared at the young man and said, "Why did you tie up my daughter?"
The young man grinned, pointed at Ye Ming and said, "I thought her father was some powerful figure, but it turned out to be a young monk. Hehe, why did you ask me to let him go? Are you also the dean of the school?"
Ye Ming asked: "Will you let it go?"
"Don't let go! The beauty I tied is mine, even if the king of heaven comes, it will be useless!"
"brush"
Ye Ming suddenly moved. He picked up the young man with one hand and put his hand on his neck. With just a little force, he could strangle him to death.
"Be bold!"
Xu Baji was furious, and a figure rushed into the hall. It was a young man in fine clothes. He stared at Ye Ming with cold eyes: "Are you looking for death?"
"Try to kill me." Ye Ming also stared at him without fear.
"Death!" Xu Baji stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Ming's eyebrows. As a Heavenly Lord, Ye Ming had no room to fight back in front of him.
Who knew that as soon as he took action, there would be an invisible light curtain between him and Ye Ming. His pointer was directly dissipated on the light screen.
Xu Baji was shocked and shouted: "Who is it?"
Ye Ming kicked out and broke one of young Hua Shao's legs, causing him to scream loudly in pain.
Xu Baji said angrily: "If you dare to hurt my son, I can't spare you!"
"Kacha" Ye Ming kicked the opponent's second leg and asked the young man: "Where is my daughter?"
The young man didn't expect Ye Ming to dare to hurt him. He was afraid of being hurt again, so he shouted: "It's in the room behind me."
Ye Ming walked directly to the wall, kicked a hole in the wall, and saw Ye Lanlan who was tied inside and in a coma.
Ye Ming was angry and stretched out his hand. All the muscles and bones in the young man's body were broken and he became a cripple.
Xu Baji's eyes were like fire, and he shouted: "You are so bold!"
Ye Ming threw the boy away, picked up Ye Lanlan, looked at Xu Baji with a provocative look, and said: "Xu Baji, when I step into the throne, I will kill you first!"
Xu Baji was so angry that he took a step forward and rushed to the light curtain, trying to break it. But at this moment, a voice sounded: "Mie Tang, No. 3 is here."
As soon as he heard the word "Mietang", Xu Baji trembled all over and white hairs of sweat began to fall from his forehead. He shouted, "I didn't know that the master of Mietang was here. I'm disrespectful."
The man stopped talking, but Xu Baji didn't dare to ask anymore.
Master Chen came over at this time and said, "Junior brother, let's go."
The group of people left in a swaggering manner, leaving the young man still screaming. He cursed: "Dad, why don't you catch up and kill him?"
Xu Baji walked up to his son expressionlessly and said calmly: "You usually cause trouble and don't care about it as a father. But today you provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked."
The boy stopped crying and asked, "Who is he?"
Xu Baji said: "The person who can be protected by Mietang is either an elite disciple or a key figure."
The young man screamed: "Is letting him go for nothing?"
Xu Baji sneered: "Don't worry, others will avenge you. As long as this news is released, this Ye Ming will definitely die. I don't know how many forces will want to get rid of him!"
The young man understood immediately and said with a smile: "I know, the other Nine Star Sects don't want Ye Ming to live."
After Ye Ming took Ye Lanlan away, Master Chen suddenly sighed and said, "Junior brother, I was careless today. If the people from Mie Tang came out to protect you, it would be equivalent to exposing your identity."
Ye Ming: "Senior brother is saying that Xu Baji will leak my identity? Isn't he afraid of being punished?"
"Who can prove that he leaked the information? Once this kind of thing happens once, it will be impossible to keep it top secret." Master Chen looked worried, "So junior brother is only afraid of danger in the future."
Ye Ming didn't take it seriously and said: "Brother, since it will be exposed sooner or later, I think you might as well push me to the bright side."
Master Chen nodded: "According to the confidentiality rules of elite disciples, once Mietang takes action, your confidential identity will be automatically cancelled. Soon, the Tiangang Sect will be made public. You, Ye Ming, are an elite disciple."
Ye Ming blinked: "Has something similar happened before? An elite disciple's identity was revealed."
"Of course it happened, and it happened more than once. However, the fate of those elite disciples who were exposed was not very good. Some were killed. Others simply became anonymous and completely disappeared from this world. In the end, all Those who have to survive with all their tails are less than half."
Ye Ming rolled his eyes: "The majestic Nine Star Sect can't protect its own disciples?"
Master Chen thought for a moment and said: "If I were the Tiangang Sect, I would make my junior brother a trump card and focus all the attention on you. In this way, I can protect other elite disciples and distract the hostility. The attention of the forces.”
Ye Ming smiled bitterly, he felt that this didn't seem to be a good thing.
Ye Ming still returned to the inn. Except for Ye Lanlan, everyone else arrived one after another. At this time, Ye Shaobai was entertaining everyone.
Seeing that Ye Lanlan returned safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Ming asked everyone about their situation in recent years and found that everyone was developing well. About thirty people had become true disciples of various sects, and most of them were inner disciples. There are also a very small number who have been designated as elite disciples in the sect, but just like in Tiangang Sect, they are kept secret.
In this gathering, one is to understand everyone’s practice status, and the other is to share some money and practice resources with everyone.
Ye Ming got three thousand small whitebait, which was a good thing. He gave two to each person. Of course, those like Ye Shaobai would naturally have to share more, ten pieces per person.
In addition to the silver fish, Ye Ming also distributed 100 billion Tiangang coins to each person, as well as some talisman money condensed from divine stones for cultivation purposes.
Ye Ming knew that this kind of gathering could not last too long, otherwise it would attract the attention of all parties. If someone discovered that their family was evenly distributed among the eight nine-star sects, it would be difficult to explain.
So that day, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective places.
Just as Master Chen said, the next day, Ye Ming found his name appearing on the bulletin board of Tiangang Gate. It was announced above that Ye Ming is now an elite disciple of Tiangang Sect and enjoys the treatment of a cardinal elder.
I don’t know how many people are envious of this. You must know that the cardinals and elders of Tiangang Sect can get one thousandth of the profits of Tiangang Sect every year.
A profit of one thousandth may not sound too intuitive. The Tiangang Sect is very powerful, and its annual profits exceed those of the ten capitals. One percent is one hundred billion Tiangang coins!
In addition to this treatment, the cardinals and elders also have the right to enter the Tiangang Sect's treasure house and use any skills, magic weapons, etc. as needed, and can keep interest-free accounts until they have enough money to pay.
Also, the cardinals and elders can obtain a piece of land for free every year, and the area of the land is one percent of the newly developed land area in that year.
The above are just some of the main benefits, there are other subtleties, which are very comprehensive.
As soon as the announcement came out, Mr. Zhong Xuan found Ye Ming and told him that he would represent Tiangang Sect in a small competition tomorrow.
This is the benefit after the elite disciples are announced. They no longer have to hide their strength or identity, and they can go out when there is a mission.
