Chapter 1772 - 1772 Flying Willow catkin sword (1)
An old man in a navy blue cultivator’s robe was sitting there. Qing Xuan and Feng baiming could not help but frown when they saw this man because they were too familiar with him. This man was the great elder of the inner hall of Xuan Qing sect. He was in charge of the courage education of all the disciples in Xuan Qing sect and was also the most important person in Xuan Qing sect, the supervisor of the Scripture Hall.
The Scripture Hall was the place where all the Scriptures and secret manuals of the Xuan Qing sect were stored. It was very important. This great elder was also the most senior great elder in the Xuan Qing sect. The reason why he was still a master of the nascent Soul Stage was not because he was not strong enough, but because an enemy had infiltrated the Xuan Qing sect once. When they were planning to steal the Scriptures from the Scripture Hall, he had discovered it. With the strength of the nascent Soul Stage, he had a hard fight with a master of the crossing tribulation stage. In the end, he was seriously injured, but he had still managed to escape. He was injured by the Grand Elder who came after him and did not succeed.
However, he was seriously injured and had no hope of advancing to the dujie stage. It was because of his status that he had a very high status in the Xuan Qing sect. Even some Grand elders had to give him face.
In addition, he had been in charge of teaching the core disciples and distributing secret manuals all these years. It could be said that he was half a master to the core disciples. His disciples were all over the world, so his status in the Xuan Qing sect was naturally special.
As soon as they heard him speak, both Qing Xuan and Feng baiming were put in a difficult position. This was because they could not afford to offend this old man. They had to consider all aspects of this matter.
Zhao Hai glanced at the elder and noticed Qing Xuan and Feng baiming’s attitude. He did not mind and smiled, ” &Quot; this elder is right. The Xuan Qing sect is such a big sect. It is already my good fortune to be able to meet the Qing Xuan sect master and all of you. This elder does not need to be wary of me. &Quot;
Zhao Hai’s words carried a hint of harshness in them. He immediately retorted the first elder’s words. Moreover, Zhao Hai’s words made the first elder seem petty.
The Grand elder’s expression changed when he heard Zhao Hai’s words. He said angrily, ” “Kid, what did you say?”
“I’m saying that it’s my honor to be able to meet the sect master and the elders. There’s no need for you to remind me again,” Zhao Hai said with a smile. As soon as Zhao Hai said this, the elders exploded. Zhao Hai was slapping them in the face. They were used to being arrogant, so they couldn’t stand this.
The Grand elder’s face turned green with anger, and he only managed to calm down after a while. He snorted coldly and looked at Zhao Hai, &Quot; young man, you don’t know how high the sky is. Let me teach you a lesson today. Zhao Hai, I heard that you’re quite strong. A few of our Xuan Qing sect’s useless disciples would like to see you for themselves. Do you dare to accept the challenge? ”
“I’ve long heard that the Xuan Qing sect is an authentic xuanmen sect in the cultivation world. I’d like to learn a thing or two from you,” Zhao Hai said with a smile.
The great elder’s hair and beard stood up as he laughed,”Good, good, good. Young people nowadays are getting more and more courageous. What do you think, immortal Huang?”
Huang daoran looked at the great elder and said in a deep voice, ” “Young man, it’s good to let him know the immensity of the heavens and earth.” After saying that, he turned around and talked to Feng baiming. Obviously, he didn’t care about this matter anymore.
The great elder’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger. He then turned to Qing Xuan and cupped his fists, ” &Quot; sect master, please allow your disciples to compete with Mister Zhao Hai. &Quot;
Qing Xuan looked at the great elder and nodded, ” “Great elder will make the arrangements.” The Grand elder’s eyes flashed with joy. He glanced at Zhao Hai and turned to leave.
After the great elder left, Zhao Hai turned to Qing Xuan and cupped his fists, ” &Quot; sect master Qing Xuan, I’m sorry for offending you today. Please forgive me. &Quot;
Of course, Qing Xuan knew why Zhao Hai had done this. This was something he had discussed with Feng baiming. Qing Xuan waved his hand at Zhao Hai and said,”Sir is too polite. Sparring is a very normal thing. Sir, please don’t mind it.”
“Master, I’m going to see the Xuan Qing sect’s wondrous techniques,” Zhao Hai turned to Huang daoran and said. Huang daoran waved his hand and continued to talk to Feng baiming as if he didn’t care at all.
At this moment, a commotion could be heard from outside. Zhao Hai looked at Qing Xuan and Qing Xuan smiled, ” “Please, Sir. Today, please let him know that there’s always someone better!” After saying that, he led Zhao Hai out, but Huang daoran and Feng baiming didn’t follow.
After everyone had left, Huang daoran used a protective shield to cover the two of them. He then said to Feng baiming, ” &Quot; blacksmith, I think that old man was really angered by little hai. It won’t be a big deal, right? ”
Feng baiming shook his head and said, ” don’t worry. I’ve talked to the other Grand elders about this. We’ll keep an eye on them. It’ll be fine. As long as little hai doesn’t use too much force, there won’t be a problem. &Quot;
Huang daoran nodded and sighed, ” “Now I know why your sect’s core disciples are so arrogant. With such a protective great elder, it’s hard for them not to be arrogant.”
Feng baiming smiled bitterly and turned to Huang daoran, ” “Should we go out and take a look? At that time, we can have a good chat. I really don’t feel at ease staying in the house.”
Huang daoran rolled his eyes at Feng baiming and said, ” “You’re worried about little hai injuring them, right? Forget it, let’s go.”
The two of them stood up and walked out of the door. At this time, Zhao Hai was already standing on the square in front of xuanqing Palace. In front of him stood more than 20 cultivators in navy blue cultivators ‘uniforms. The ages of these cultivators varied. The oldest was in his forties, while the youngest looked less than 20 years old.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that you couldn’t judge a cultivator’s age from their appearance. Some of the cultivation techniques that cultivators practiced had a very good way of maintaining their beauty. If you relied on appearance to judge his age, you would be at a disadvantage.
Mo Sheng had been standing behind Zhao Hai like an iron tower. However, mo Sheng clearly didn’t know what was going on. He looked at the cultivators of the Xuan Qing sect with a curious gaze. He had seen many of them before, but he couldn’t remember many of them with his memory.
The cultivators were looking at Zhao Hai angrily. They didn’t know what the Grand Elder had said to them. The Grand Elder was standing in front of them, looking at Zhao Hai with a smile. It was obvious that he wouldn’t say anything good about Zhao Hai. He was happy that he was going to teach Zhao Hai a lesson.
Zhao Hai didn’t mind. He turned to mo Sheng and said, &Quot; mo Sheng, stand at the back first. I’ll play with them. You’ll see how we do it later. Don’t come and help, we’re just playing. &Quot;
When mo Sheng heard Zhao Hai’s words, he also took it seriously. He touched his head and said,”Big brother hai, why didn’t you call me along?”
Zhao Hai smiled wryly. &Quot; alright, I’ll call you next time. You can wait at the back first. I’ll play with them for a while, then I’ll take you to eat something good. &Quot;
When mo Sheng heard Zhao Hai’s words, he quickly said,”I want to eat chicken!”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; alright, let’s eat chicken. You can eat as much as you want. Be good and go to the back first. &Quot; &Quot; yes, ” mo Sheng replied. He turned around and stood a dozen meters behind Zhao Hai.
The cultivators heard the conversation between Zhao Hai and Mo Sheng. Those who knew mo Sheng knew that Zhao Hai was just trying to coax him, but those who didn’t thought that Zhao Hai was mocking them. Their faces turned even uglier.
Zhao Hai looked at them and cupped his fists, ” &Quot; I’m Zhao Hai. I’ve come to the Xuan Qing sect to pay my respects to the Qing Xuan sect master. I’m very honored that the great elder is willing to allow me to learn from you. &Quot;
The Grand Elder glanced at Zhao Hai and snorted, ” &Quot; alright, there’s no point in saying all this now. Zhao Hai, I’ll let you know today that there’s always someone better than you. Don’t think too highly of yourself. &Quot;
“I was just about to ask for advice,” Zhao Hai replied with a smile. The great elder snorted and turned to look at those core disciples. He said in a deep voice: “Who’s going to exchange a few moves with Zhao Hai?”
Among those core disciples, someone immediately said: “I, let me do it.” A few people walked out. The great elder looked at them and frowned slightly. Among the core disciples, these people’s strength could only be considered average. He was really worried if they were to fight Zhao Hai.
Although the first elder’s words implied that he didn’t put Zhao Hai in his eyes, he was very clear that Zhao Hai’s strength wouldn’t be too weak if he blocked Huang daoran’s attack. Even if Huang daoran went easy on him, he was still a dujie-stage cultivator. Even if he casually attacked, the power would be astonishing. Zhao Hai blocked it, which in itself showed Zhao Hai’s strength. If they sent someone weaker, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be able to block it. He was afraid that he would not be Zhao Hai’s match. Today, he wanted to teach Zhao Hai a lesson. He did not want to lose, as that would only make him lose even more face.
At this moment, a young cultivator who looked to be in his twenties stood up and cupped his fists to the great elder and the other cultivators. &Quot; “Fellow junior brothers, let me have the first round.” Although this person looked younger than the few people who had stood up, he had called them brothers and junior brothers. Those people did not seem to object at all, so it was obvious that his status was not low.
In the cultivation world, senior and junior brothers were not determined by age, but by strength. You were the senior brother last year, but you lost today, so you can only be the junior Brother. This kind of competition system was one of the driving forces for cultivators to work hard.
When the cultivators saw this young man stand out, they all bowed to him and said, ” “If that’s the case, I’ll let senior brother win this round.” After saying that, he retreated.
When the great elder saw this young man step forward, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, ” &Quot; alright, then I’ll let you take the first round, Liu Feiyang. &Quot;
Hearing this name, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He had heard of this Liu Feiyang before. His nickname was flying Willow catkin sword. He was one of the most famous core disciples of the Xuan Qing sect.
Liu Feiyang stood up and cupped his fists at Zhao Hai. &Quot; “Feiyang has long heard of Mister’s great name. It is Feiyang’s great fortune to be able to exchange a few pointers with Mister today.”
