Yunxi thought about the past, and her beautiful black eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Yun Zhongtian stared at her, feeling distressed, holding her hand unconsciously forcefully, silently comforting.

The main hall of the Cloud Illusion Palace, the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing.

In today's Holy Lady Election, in addition to the more than 30 school-age women who participated in the Holy Woman's Election, the rest of the important masters of the Cloud Illusion Hall all gathered together to participate in the grand event.

In addition, there were also masters from the Yun Clan's inner sect present, there were three heavyweights, one of them was Yun Zhongtian's master Yun Xianglan, and the other two were a man and a woman, the man's face was wearing a silver iron mask, which was quite mysterious;

Behind the three masters, there were one or two entourages, among which the man wearing a silver iron mask stood behind a man who also wore a silver iron mask. These two people are accommodated in the main hall of the Cloud Illusion Palace, where women are the majority, adding masculinity and freshness to the scene, which makes people shine brightly.

Among them, the older woman, named Yun Linzhi, was known as Elder Zhi, and enjoyed a certain reputation among the masters of the Inner Sect. After she swept around, she showed impatience: "The hour is almost up, and the election of the Holy Maiden can begin." ”

The palace master covered his face with a white cloth, covering half of his face so tightly that he could not see the face below, but he could imagine how miserable it would be if not even a thin veil could cover his ugly face.

Hearing Elder Zhi's words, the palace master nodded at her and got up: "This seat announces that the Holy Maiden election has officially begun!"

The singing and dancing dispersed, and the participating women gathered towards the center of the hall, with uniform costumes and different spirits. They are all one in a hundred in terms of temperament and appearance, whether it is in the Yun Clan or in the entire Longxiang Continent, but some people are full of confidence, some are worried, and some people don't seem to have much confidence.

The Holy Maiden General Election is about to be selected among these thirty or so women, and then sent to the Yun Clan's Inner Sect, where they will be trained by the masters of the Inner Sect and become the heir of the next Yun Clan's Palace Master. This is a shortcut, a broad road, once selected to become a saint, then this person's future is a bright future!

Therefore, although some people have the self-knowledge that they cannot be chosen to become saints, they still cannot resist this great temptation and come to the election.

Among the more than 30 participating women, there are also several biological daughters of the palace master, the eldest miss, the second miss, the fourth miss and the eighth miss, the four of them are in the center of the front row of the queue, and the other women are centered on the four of them, showing the trend of stars and moons, surrounding the four women.

Among all the participating women, the four of them are the most optimistic, because they not only inherit the fine blood of the palace master, but also each of them has talents and stunts, and they can be admired as saints.

After the palace lord announced the start of the saintess election, everyone tightened their minds and waited for the palace master to continue to announce the content of today's competition.

"Wait a minute! The people who participated in the election of the Holy Maiden have not all arrived, so it is too early to start now?" A voice interjected, and the person who spoke was Yun Zhongtian's master, Yun Shanglan.

Yun Shanglan is around fifty years old, and she is the youngest and most potential master among the masters of the Inner Sect, she was appointed to preside over the election of the Holy Maiden, and she privately hopes to help her apprentice to help her sister ascend to the throne and become the new generation of saints of the Yun Clan. In both public and private, she thinks it's a good thing.

"Sister Lan, the time we agreed on earlier has arrived, and even if someone hasn't arrived, we have to disqualify her from the competition. She can be late for such an important scene, which shows that her lack of attention to the election of the Holy Maiden is a blasphemous act. We will not allow such people to participate in the election of the Holy Maiden!"

The palace master and Yun Shanglan used to be sisters in the same sect, so they called her Sister Lan, the difference is that Yun Shanglan went to the inner sect, while the palace master stayed in the Cloud Illusion Hall and became the current palace master.

It's a pity that the Tao is different, and they are destined to not go anywhere.

Yun Xianglan frowned, and said unhappily: "The reason why Yunxi didn't arrive on time is that someone deliberately stumbled her halfway and didn't want her to arrive as scheduled, right?"

"Sister Lan, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you suspect that this seat sent someone to stop her?"

"Isn't it?"

The two went head-to-head.

Elder Zhi coughed lowly, interrupting the confrontation between the two, and said in a cold voice: "The hour has come, but anyone who is late is not eligible to continue to participate in the competition, so it's decided!"

She made the final decision, which is equivalent to cutting off Yunxi's back road.

Yun Shanglan frowned and argued, "Elder Zhi, can you wait a little longer?" I believe that the last person will arrive soon. ”

"Elder Lan, are you suspicious of being honest with this person by protecting this person like this?" Elder Zhi sneered sarcastically, in her opinion, Yun Shanglan was still young and had shallow qualifications, but she was able to sit on an equal footing with her and be sent to serve as the messenger of the Holy Maiden's election, and she was unhappy in her heart.

"Private Tan?" Yun Shanglan said unhappily, "Elder Zhi, you don't want to spew blood! I, Yun Shanglan, sit upright, how can I be private? If I am private, the four daughters of the palace master are participating in the holy women's election together today, and the palace master is in a hurry to announce the start of the general election, and is unwilling to wait for the people who come later, this is the suspicion of private frankness. Isn't she afraid that someone else will come and take away her daughter's chance?"

"Sister Lan, I call you sister, that's angry with you, don't think that this seat is really afraid of you. Okay, in order to avoid suspicion, this seat will give you another tea time, if no one arrives during the tea time, then the holy women's election must begin. The palace master gritted his teeth and said, it was just a cup of tea, and the few obstacles she set up would definitely be able to drag Yunxi and make her unable to come.

"Thank you very much. Yun Shanglan glanced at the two masters behind her, "Go and see, are people here?"

"Don't look at it, I'm already here. Before the two masters could go and inspect, Yunxi stepped into the main hall.

In the entire hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Yunxi at this moment. She walked calmly, her body was light, and the streamer at her waist accompanied her steps, like clouds shuttling through the blue sky. When she raised her eyes to look at the person on the main seat of the main hall, her beautiful eyes were instantly shining, and she smiled shallowly, that grace, that posture, peerless!

The masked man sitting on the right side of the main hall has not said a word since he entered the main hall, and he has always been silent and golden, but at this moment, his lazy sitting posture suddenly tensed, and a pair of eyes that emerged from the silver iron mask stared at Yun Xi's face tightly, and unknown love swirled in his eyes.

The man behind him was also looking at Yunxi with a smile in his eyes.

Yunxi didn't notice their gaze, just looked straight at the palace master, stepped forward step by step, and stopped in the center of the main hall ten steps away.

"Sorry, I had some trouble on the way, so I was delayed. ”

"Trouble?" the palace master's tone was mocking, and his eyes were cold and full of hatred.

"Yes, trouble. However, I have solved all these troubles one by one. I would also like to thank the palace master for giving me a cup of tea. Yunxi smiled sweetly, but this smile was enough to make the palace master vomit blood.

All the troubles are solved...... Don't......

The palace master stared at Yunxi silently with gloomy eyes, and the killing intent was slowly brewing.

Elder Zhi saw Yun Xi for the first time, and after looking at her for a moment, her gaze fell on Helian Zifeng and his party: "Who are you guys?" They didn't wear the clothes of the Yun Clan, so they attracted her attention, as for Yun Zhongtian, he automatically retreated to the side of the main hall, Yun Zhongsheng did not enter the main hall, he took the opportunity to go to find his father's body.

The second shopkeeper stepped forward and sent an invitation: "The second shopkeeper of Sheng Bao Zhai received an invitation from the palace master and came to watch the grand election of the Holy Maiden. ”

He turned sideways, faced Helian Zifeng, bowed his head respectfully, and introduced: "This is the master below, Helian Gongzi." ”

The palace master knew the second shopkeeper, and she couldn't help but be surprised to see him treat a young man so respectfully. The second shopkeeper of Sheng Bao Zhai, that is the number one big man in Longxiang Continent, known as the poisonous spider, even she is afraid of three points. But his attitude towards a young man was so humble, which showed that this man's status was extraordinary.

She carefully looked at Helian Zifeng, sensed the powerful aura on his body, and was surprised again. She didn't dare to test the other party's strength at will, so she waved her hand angrily and said: "Welcome a few nobles, a few nobles can come to my Yun Clan, this seat is very honorable." Come, give me a seat!"

Elder Zhi was also observing Helian Zifeng, his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly, and he released his spiritual power, wanting to test his true strength. Who would have thought, Helian Zifeng didn't look at her, and flicked his sleeves lightly.

Suddenly, Elder Zhi only felt that it was dark in front of her, and some force was pressing her head and face, her body shook a few times, and her hands firmly grasped the wooden chair under her, which avoided the embarrassment of her falling from her seat.

"...... you" Elder Zhi's face turned pale, and he looked at Helian Zifeng in horror, and his saliva snorted violently.

In the main hall, the ordinary masters were not aware of the secret competition between the two, so they were puzzled by Elder Zhi's strange reaction, but the palace master, Yun Shanglan, and the man in the mask were not, they were all masters, how could they not detect it?

The palace master secretly rejoiced, fortunately he was smart and cautious, and he did not rashly test the other party's strength, otherwise he would end up like Elder Zhi. The masked man stared deeply at Helian Zifeng, and soon, he turned his gaze back to Yunxi's body, his greedy gaze seemed to absorb Yunxi, and he couldn't get tired of looking at it.

Yun Shanglan glanced at Helian Zifeng lightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Okay, now that the people have arrived, we can start." ”

Since then, the election of the Holy Maiden has really begun.

The content of the Holy Maiden's election is divided into three parts, the first is a literary test, the second is a martial test, and the last is the final test of the bloodstone. Through the assessment of these three contents, the final winner is a new generation of saints!

The first is the essay exam.

The number of participants in the election of the Holy Maiden was a total of thirty-six, and Yunxi was at the bottom.

"Since the founding of my ancestors, my Yun Clan has produced many capable people, and the mighty dragon soars to the continent, please count the names of at least twenty Yun Clan ancestors who have achieved extraordinary achievements, as well as their achievements and deeds......"

This is the first contestant's essay question.

Yunxi was blindsided on the spot, and it turned out that the so-called literary test was a history question, the history of the Yun clan.

Damn, this is too embarrassing for her, isn't it? She has only been in the Yun Clan for a long time, how can she know so much information about the history of the Yun Clan?

Beforehand, she had also inquired with her brother, but unfortunately Helian Zifeng appeared later, and she didn't have a chance to meet her brother, so she was delayed. Well, now it's equivalent to improvising on the spot, and you can do whatever it wants.

The first contestant answered the questions fluently and won the applause of the whole hall.

Immediately after the second, third, and fourth...... Until it was Yunxi's turn, the questions about the history of the Yun clan became more and more tricky and unpopular, and many contestants were stumped.

Yunxi's heart was a little empty, and even the people who were born and raised in the Yun Clan couldn't answer the questions, so she didn't expect it anymore. Now she only hopes for the martial arts test and the bloodstone of the last item, and only these two items are she sure of a decisive victory.

"Yunxi, it's your turn. ”

Hearing this, Yunxi paced to the center of the main hall, waiting to be eliminated directly.

"I'll come up with her topic. The masked man suddenly stood up and interrupted the examiner's words. His voice is low-pitched, but it does not lose its strength and soundness, and it reaches people's ears like the tinkling of spring water in the deep valley and ravine, which is pleasant to the ear.

Elder Zhi and Yun Sheng Lan were surprised, in their impressions, Elder Zhu had always been silent, he was clean and self-conscious, he never formed a gang with other masters of the Inner Sect, and rarely interacted with each other, he was neutral and impartial in everything. This time, the Inner Sect Elders unanimously decided to let him accompany the two of them to be the presiding officer of this Holy Maiden election, precisely because of his impartiality.

He stood up at this time and wanted to give Yunxi a question, did he want to deliberately embarrass her?

Almost everyone had the same idea in their hearts, and other than that, they really couldn't figure out what the reason for Elder Zhu to stand up was.

"Since Elder Zhu is willing to come up with the question himself, that's the best. Elder Zhi nodded at the examiner who asked the question, and Yun Shanglan also agreed, as for the palace master's opinion, it didn't matter to them coming.

Elder Zhu walked slowly towards Yunxi, his eyes were very focused, and there was something special in his eyes that was beating.

Yunxi looked at Elder Zhu in surprise, she was also guessing the other party's true intentions, they had never met, why did the other party test her in person? Could it be that she had inadvertently offended him, and she didn't know it?

Finally, he stood three steps away from her.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know that some of our Yun Clan people are called the Forbidden Clan?"

Yunxi nodded silently, even more suspicious of the other party's intentions.

"Then you must know the origin of the Forbidden Clan?"

Yunxi nodded again, what did he want to ask? Did he want to attack her with her identity as a forbidden clan?

"As we all know, the reason why the Forbidden Clan is called the Forbidden Clan is because its leader, Yun Xuan, who was once the pride of our Yun Clan, led the people who were willing to follow her to leave the Yun Clan. They have created a new world of their own outside the Yun Clan and have become a thorn in the side of the Yun Clan, so the high-level leaders of the Yun Clan call them the Forbidden Clan, and they also ordered the whole Clan, but the Forbidden Clan, everyone will be punished!"

This is a part of the history of the Yun Clan, a fact that almost everyone present knows, what is his purpose in bringing this?

The beautiful lips under Elder Zhu's mask pulled up a slight arc, and continued: "These are well-known facts, nothing new, but only a small number of people know that when Yun Xuan left the Yun Clan, he took a large number of treasures with him. That batch of treasures accounted for one-third of the wealth of the Yun Clan at that time, and when the high-level officials of the Yun Clan heard the news, they hated Yun Xuan even more, and vowed to wipe out everyone in the Taboo Clan, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and recapture the treasure!"

There was a small exclamation in the hall, and as he said, only a handful of people in the room knew about this history.

"Elder Zhu, what exactly do you want?" Elder Zhi stepped forward to warn him, but unfortunately Elder Zhu ignored it.

"In order to get the whereabouts of this batch of treasures, the high-level leaders of the Yun Clan have taken great pains and fought for many years to exterminate the Forbidden Clan, but unfortunately, after hundreds of thousands of years, they have not succeeded. "Elder Zhu continued to go his own way, going down," until more than ten years ago, someone betrayed the Forbidden Clan and informed the upper echelons of the Yun Clan of their hiding place...... That is, the palace master himself, who had just become the palace master at that time......"

Elder Zhu's sharp gaze suddenly locked on the palace master, causing the palace master to tremble, and the cold hairs around his body stood up: "Elder Zhu, now should be the time for you to ask questions, what are you doing with these old things?"

"Okay, my question is......" Elder Zhu turned his head, looked at Yunxi deeply, and asked, "What means did the palace master use to exterminate the Taboo Clan in one day, killing hundreds of people from the Taboo Clan, including the elderly, the weak, women and children?"

His question exploded in the hall like earth-shattering thunder!

People seem to be able to imagine the tragic slaughter, how many old and weak women and children died under the sword of the Yun Clan's masters, and how much blood stained the land red, converging into a river......

It's cruel!

The palace master stood up from his seat with a slam on the ground, and his clenched fists revealed her anger at the moment.

"Elder Zhu, what exactly do you mean?"

"Today is the election of the Holy Maiden, and any contestant who is about to become a Holy Maiden should know this true history. As a saint, you should also learn how to be a respectable palace master. I asked this question just to test her to see if she had the ability to become the palace master and the courage to kill without blinking!"
