Back in the dormitory, Zhan Chen practiced swords while paying attention to the news from the inner disciples.

After a flicker and half a month passed, Zhan Chen had mastered all the forty-nine swordsmanship of the "Golden Hidden Sword Sutra", and this set of swordsmanship was now in his hands to exert the power of the Xuan-level supreme swordsmanship. However, there is clearly still a long way to go for it to continue to improve.

The entry of swordsmanship began to slow down, and Zhan Chen's desire to ascend to the inner gate began to be urgent, but there was no news from him for a long time.

He couldn't help but start muttering in his heart again: "Hmph! It seems that Wang Muxie just dealt with me casually at the beginning, I'm afraid he didn't solve any problems for me at all, then again, he was hostile to me from the beginning, so I want to count on him, I'm afraid I won't want to join the inner door in this life." ”

"It seems that I have to work my own, since you are indifferent, I will exert the power of public opinion!" A fine light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes.

So in the next few days, he broke his previous low-key posture and began to visit friends, making friends and making friends with many ordinary martial artists. And in this way, the news that he had broken through the realm of the Martial King also spread, and began to ferment in the entire outer gate.

"Eh, you know what? Zhan Chen has already broken through the Martial King. ”

"How come? It's only a few days before the end of the martial arts competition. ”

"The news is true, I don't believe you will know it when you see him. ”

"So, wouldn't he be able to join the inner gate?"

"Yes, Elder Wang personally promised, can this still not be counted?"

"Hey, we've got a good show to watch this time. ”

......

There were such remarks everywhere, and everyone focused their attention on this matter, and the parties involved, Zhan Chen and Elder Wang Muxie, were also pushed to the forefront.

Xuan Ming Peak, the Elder's Courtyard, Wang Muxie slapped the stone table fiercely and snorted coldly. The poor stone table was reduced to powder in an instant.

And at the bottom of him, it was his protégé Liao Fengjian who stood up, and he didn't dare to come out at this time.

"It's so unbelievable! That Zhan Chen actually made a big fuss, does he really think that I don't dare to make a move on him? It's just a martial king, and if he dies, he will die in vain!"

"Teacher, I'm afraid that this will cause more controversy in the outer gate, which is actually not good for you, and the relationship between Zhan Chen and the Holy Maiden is also extraordinary. ”

"Do you already have any information?"

Liao Fengjian took out a jade slip from his Qiankun bag, handed it to him and said, "Teacher, this is something I have sorted out, please take a look." ”

Wang Muxie took the jade slip and looked at it carefully, and it took a long time before he withdrew his divine sense, and muttered in his mouth: "He was actually brought back by the Holy Maiden herself, but in three years, he was able to break through from a martial artist to the current martial king, what kind of speed is this? It seems that there must be a secret in his body." ”

Liao Fengjian said: "Not only that, but he was also given the Holy Maiden Order by the Holy Maiden, you must know that the Holy Maiden Order is not trivial, since he is willing to give him such an important thing, it means that he is very favored in front of the Holy Maiden, which is what I am most worried about." ”

"Yes!" As soon as she thought of this holy woman, Wang Muxie felt a headache, she was famous for her domineering in the sect, and she didn't even pay attention to the top ten elders in the bottom few ranks, let alone sell her face.

And the woman also has a characteristic, that is, she is extremely protective of her shortcomings, if she knows about this matter, it will definitely not be over, and he began to hesitate.

Liao Fengjian saw that his teacher was in a dilemma, and he also began to think. Suddenly, a brightness flashed in his eyes, and he raised his head and said, "Teacher, maybe we can use others to get rid of this Zhan Chen." ”

"Oh, tell me about it. ”

"When I was investigating Zhan Chen's information, I found that Pang Scorpion, the steward of the Calendar Demon Hall, seemed to have a grudge against that Zhan Chen, and Zhan Chen hadn't participated in the mandatory tasks assigned by the outer gate for more than a year. ”

Wang Muxie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What you want to say is that we can use the hand of Pang Scorpion to assign that Zhan Chen to the outside of the sect, and then take the opportunity to get rid of him?"

"Not bad!"

"Hehe, Liao Fengjian, what you said is so good, Zhan Chen has not joined the inner gate yet, he is still a disciple of the outer gate, he is a disciple of the outer gate, how can he join the inner gate without fulfilling his obligations? This is just within the system, we can use it to reject that Zhan Chen, so that no one can say. ”

"Master Wise!"

"Okay, go and bring that scorpion to me right away!"

"Yes!"

......

After Zhan Chen released the news, he didn't care anymore, and went to practice swords as usual every day, he believed that there would be news from above, but he waited slowly, and what he was waiting for was not the news from the disciple's place, but the news from the Demon Hall.

With doubts in his heart, he still went to see Pang Scorpion, and asked in front of him: "Manager Pang, what are you looking for me?"

Pang Scorpion was disgusted when he saw Zhan Chen, and he counted the two accounts of his humiliation and his brother's death on Zhan Chen's head, so he said coldly as soon as he spoke: "Zhan Chen, do you still dare to ask me? Have you forgotten your obligations as an outer disciple? That is the mandatory task every other year, and now that the time for reporting has passed, you are still reasonable." ”

"What? I have to complete the mandatory task again? I have already broken through the Martial King and am about to join the inner gate!" Zhan Chen immediately quit. What are you kidding, with Pang Scorpion's disgust with himself, he has to toss him.

"But you're not an inner disciple yet, so you have to obey me!" Pang Scorpion sneered.

Zhan Chen was speechless for a moment, it was indeed like this.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Pang Scorpion pretended to open the task roster in his hand, swept it, and said, "You will be in charge of this task, go to the Northern Cold Land to guard the border for a year." ”

"A year?"

"Yes, you will be on the road next week, you have to remember clearly, as long as you are still an outer disciple, you have to do what I say. Pang Scorpion warned him in a strange way.

Zhan Chen's heart suddenly became angry, the Northern Cold Land, as soon as he heard this name, it was a dangerous place, and he had to defend it for a year, so he didn't have so much time to delay.

So after leaving the Calendar Demon Hall, he had to go to the inner door disciple again, but the reply he got was: he had to complete this mandatory task before he could get the opportunity to join the inner gate.

After leaving the disciple's place, Zhan Chen went all the way down the mountain, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "Hmph! If you don't want me to join, just say it, and make up so many reasons." ”

After that, he fell into deep thought again, and it seemed that in order to solve this matter, he had to go to Yin Meiru for help. Yes, now I'm afraid that only she can help herself, otherwise I'm afraid that if he waits for his head to break through, he won't have the possibility of joining the inner door, and he will be calculated by others in vain.

After getting off the Shadow Peak, he immediately went up to the Holy Maiden Peak, asking to see Yin Meiru.

As soon as Yin Meiru heard that Zhan Chen was coming, she naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately let him in, drank and retreated, and jumped into his arms.

Zhan Chen was still a little uncomfortable, and it took a lot of effort to coax her away, and said, "Mei'er, I came to look for it today because I want to ask you for help." ”

"Just say anything. ”

At this time, Yin Meiru's eyes had been filled with Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen just wanted the sun in the sky, and she was afraid that she would take it.

"Isn't it a matter of joining the inner door, but I have encountered some resistance. ”

"I know about this, why? They won't let you join?" Yin Meiru said with concern.

"Yes, what other mandatory task is required of me by the inner disciples, is to go to the Northern Cold Land for a year. ”

"What? Northern Cold Land? Who assigned this task!" Yin Meiru was so excited that she was about to jump up, that kind of place was extremely dangerous, and she wanted to be separated from her lover for a year, which was worth it?

Zhan Chen didn't say anything, because all his meanings were reached.

Sure enough, I heard Yin Meiru say in a cold voice: "Ah Chen, you come with me, I want to see how big a score can be put on the inner disciples!" After that, he turned around and walked out.

Following her, a trace of helplessness flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, to be honest, he really didn't want to take advantage of Yin Meiru's feelings for him. However, this is the truth, if you don't rely on her in the Demon Luo Sect, you really can't move an inch.
