The elders of the Zongmen did not deliberately conceal this move, and the news of Baili Shu's return to Jiuxuanmen quickly spread throughout the entire Jiuxuanmen. After the Qingming Pagoda incident in Bingzhou, Jun Wanbai and the others all returned to the sect, except for senior brother Bailishu who was nowhere to be seen. It's not that there are no disciples of Jiuxuanmen wondering where the elder brother went, but Jun Wanbai and others who went to Bingzhou and returned together were ordered not to disclose what happened in Bingzhou and the party, and the elders of the sect kept silent about it. Therefore, the sect's disciples can only speculate in private.
Then there was the upheaval of the Qi and Qin Dynasty, and the purge of the Zongmen during this period.
Familiar brothers and sisters turned into complete strangers in a blink of an eye. During this cleansing, it was impossible for the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect not to be at a loss. In a daze, not knowing when to start, the disciples of the sect began to look forward to the return of the elder brother Bailishu—that figure who was calm and indifferent at any time, but stood in front of them from beginning to end, made people subconsciously believe that, no matter what No matter when, that person will not change.
Now, Baili Shu is back.
On the road from the mountain gate to Biyong Pavilion, the main peak of Jiuxuanmen, the disciples of Jiuxuanmen met Senior Brother Baili who had disappeared for a long time.
"I actually met Senior Brother Baili."
A disciple of Xuanshuang Peak peeked at the group of people coming from the front, and said to his friend in a low voice.
Senior brother Baili, who had disappeared for many days, returned to the sect, but no one dared to go up to say hello to senior senior brother.
At the end of winter near the beginning of spring, the cold wind blowing down from the distant grasslands of the Wild Spirit Dynasty encountered the rolling Silver Ridge Mountains where Jiuxuanmen is located, and it turned into the last snow of this long winter here. Snowflakes fluttered in the air, and the elders in black robes embroidered with the logos of various peaks and veins walked solemnly in the snow.
The expressions of the elders were incomprehensibly solemn to the disciples. Even the elders, who were usually unprincipled and liked to bet with their disciples, were so serious at this moment that they looked like a drawn knife. This is a scene that the disciples of Jiuxuanmen have never seen before. The most powerful person in the entire sect put on a formal attire just to welcome the return of one person.
Among the elders in black robes was a thin young man, wearing white robes alone, with a calm expression, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The female disciple of Xuanshuang Peak who was standing beside her responded in a low voice, and she looked at the young man who was approaching surrounded by a group of elders from the Nine Profound Sect—she had met Senior Brother Baili once.
It was not long after Bailishu had just finished his retreat, and at that time, brother Shen Changge, the chief of Ganmai, had not yet betrayed the sect. On a sunny afternoon, the young man in a white robe stood in front of her small stall with lonely eyes, and reached out for a roll of notes on secular customs.
She plucked up the courage to tell the senior brother of the sect that if the senior brother wants it, he doesn't need money.
In fact, she didn't know what she was talking about at that time, she just looked at the man standing in front of her with snow-covered brows and downcast eyes looking at the notes, inexplicably wanting to say something.
The young man said thank you in a low voice, but still put a spirit stone and turned to leave.
How can someone seem to be alone even when standing in a crowd? The thin back looks like a quiet sword. The man looked cold, but when he looked down at the notes, she clearly felt that the man was so melancholy and full of thoughts—how could this be? Senior Brother Baili is the big brother of Jiuxuanmen, how many people worship him, and how many people fall in love with him, why does such an excellent person look so lonely and sad
Sometimes, she couldn't help but think about that afternoon when she met by chance, thinking about the back figure that turned and left.
This is a bit silly, because it has nothing to do with me.
After so long, she saw the young man who was the senior brother of the sect again.
For ordinary disciples, the head of the sect who is like a god, those elders of the sect who came out of retreat after the recent turmoil, those top figures of the sect who are rarely seen on weekdays and almost only exist in the chats of the disciples wear The formal attire that he only wears when receiving the heads of other fairy sects has a serious face. Among the backbones of these Nine Profound Sects, there is only one person, whose clothes are as white as snow. The people with the highest authority in the entire sect were scattered around him, leading the way solemnly and silently.
Among those people, Baili Shu, the highest-ranking disciple of the younger generation, was only a senior brother of the sect in name, and his figure was thin.
They passed in front of all the stunned disciples of the Jiuxuanmen. The Jiuxuanmen, the first sect of the Immortal Sect, showed its highest etiquette to welcome the return of a disciple. Everything looks like when Yi Heping returned to Jiuxuanmen with the indifferent young man, the whole sect was shaken because of one person, the sect's great ability ended the long retreat and walked out of the dust for the arrival of one person Dongfu.
The elders of the sect surrounding the young man in white are now like a chilling long knife. This sect that has been silent for a long time during the sudden change of the Qi Qin Dynasty has finally revealed its fierce side. The team that came from the mountain gate and walked through half of the Jiuxuanmen to the main peak of the Jiuxuanmen was like a knife unsheathed.
In the silence, the disciples of Jiuxuanmen seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.
The female disciple of Xuanshuang Peak is now an inner sect disciple. After the team that symbolized the highest strength of the Nine Profound Sect passed by, she couldn't help but look back at the back of the young man in the crowd. It is like bamboo, and the sleeves of the robe are flying like cranes.
……………………………………………………
While the disciples of Jiuxuanmen were arguing endlessly about the return of senior brother Bailishu who seemed to be announcing something, on the main peak of Jiuxuanmen, in Biyong Pavilion, a secret meeting was going on. held.
All the elders in Nine Profound Sect who could be described as "core" participated in this meeting.
This meeting is long overdue.
This is a meeting that will determine the fate of the sect, so at this meeting, every elder is wearing a black robe, the cuffs of the robe have the logo of their respective peaks, the weapons used by each elder, Whether it is a knife or a sword or anything else, it is placed on the low table in front of the seat.
Offering a sword that is equivalent to life, this weird behavior is not a demonstration, but a kind of oath, which means that they have nothing to gamble on, only the weapons in their hands are left. They can draw their swords for the sect at any time, regardless of life or death.
Before that, they were all waiting for this meeting to deliver the sword equal to life.
However, before this meeting could not be held.
Because one of the most important people is missing.
Among the black clothes full of seats, Baili Shu in white was particularly eye-catching. In this solemn hall, most of the faces looked extraordinarily old, and the youngest elder, He Zhou, could only sit at the end of the seat even as the master of the Hanyu Saber under such circumstances.
However, Baili Shu, who was wearing a white robe, was not sitting at the end of the banquet.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and sat on the most honorable head with a calm expression.
In front of Bailishu, on top of the short table, a longbow wrapped in cloth strips was placed flat on it.
No one raised any objection that such a young face sat in the most prestigious seat. Yi Heping and the oldest one among the elders—the one who scolded Yi Heping bloody that day sat on the left and right sides respectively. The hall was very quiet, and everyone was sitting upright.
It was so quiet that even the sound of snow falling outside the pavilion became clear.
In the silence, as the head of the sect, Yi Heping stood up, and he adjusted his black robe—this should be the first time Yi Heping wore this black robe in front of people, and he was slightly different from others. The difference is that Yi Heping's black robe is embroidered with a weird symbol.
That symbol is a kind of text in the era of chaos, which means Jiuxuan.
After straightening out his black robe, Yi Heping bowed deeply towards the thing placed in the center of the hall—it was a spirit tablet that seemed to have nothing special about it.
The letter on the spirit card: the position of the elders and disciples of Jiuxuan.
This spirit card represents all the elders and disciples of the Nine Profound Sect who have left the sect in black robes and never returned since ancient times.
Everyone stood up and bowed.
After everyone sat down again, Yi Heping looked around, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Nine, Infinity, Xuan, there are thousands of ways, from which Jiuxuanmen comes. And our Jiuxuanmen has always been based on Guarding the secrets of the era and inheriting the mission of the former martyrs is our own responsibility. This is why Jiuxuanmen will be the first of the eight sects of the immortal sect. This is our glory and our dignity. The elders and disciples drew their swords boldly to defend the dignity of the sect, and shed the last drop of blood for the sect."
"Therefore, Jiuxuan is the unparalleled Jiuxuan in the world."
This was originally a sentence full of pride, but Yi Heping said it in an extremely calm tone, and it became a statement of an irrefutable fact.
"We have always been so proud and proud. In other words, not only us, but every immortal sect is so proud. As immortal cultivators, we should be the guardians of this land, even if we pay for it again and again. The price is not hesitating. But..." Yi Heping's voice was suddenly cold, "Hundreds of years ago, Jiuxuanmen discovered that the turbulent turbulence of impermanence is sweeping."
Bailishu sat at the head, listening to Yi Heping's narration calmly.
He raised his eyes slightly and looked out of the hall.
The white snow fluttered and fell all over the sky.
He didn't care what Yi Heping said, in fact, the content was nothing more than that, and everyone knew it. Dynasty is challenging Xianmen. But now, Xianmen decided to meet this war.
