(Reading books and not voting, the author screams, hunger and thirst are unbearable!)

In front of the main hall of the inner house, the government advocates standing empty-handed, and the ten disciples who participated in this year's inner disciple election lined up, concentrating calmly and respectfully.

Zhang Xingkong, the contemporary lord of the mansion, the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Zhongnan Sword Mansion. His cultivation was also the highest in the Sword Mansion, reaching the ninth rank of the Qi Path. It is only half a step away from the royal road stage.

Judging from the appearance, if others are middle-aged, they are actually sixty years old, and they are already sixty years old.

This is the second time Liang Qiufeng has seen Zhang Xingkong.

As the lord of the mansion, Zhang Xingkong has a peaceful personality and is more approachable than the four elders.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. The ten of you, except for Liang Qiufeng, the remaining nine have all participated in the election of the inner disciples. Why does it seem that Liang Qiufeng is the easiest now?"

Of the ten disciples, except for Liang Qiufeng, the remaining nine were all "old men". Among them, they have participated in at least one inner disciple election assessment, but they have no choice but to fail. There are some of them, and they have even participated two or three times.

However, every year in the election of inner disciples, the assessment content is different, and there is not much experience to learn from every year.

As for facing Zhang Xingkong, trembling, it was completely a psychological problem.

The lord of the mansion, the supreme master, and the super master of the ninth stage of the qi path, it is strange that he is not nervous in front of him.

Compared with them, Liang Qiufeng was calm and calm.

Zhang Xingkong said slowly: "Inner disciple, the focus is on the word 'inner'. Inside, it represents intimacy, it represents confidentiality. Therefore, I have been in the South Sword Mansion for thousands of years, and the standard of inner disciples has been selected, with the first emphasis on conduct and the second thing in cultivation. The so-called conduct, microscopic knowledge, is the most true in daily life. Now that you have been qualified to run for election, you have no problem in this regard......"

Jianfu inspection is everywhere. For example, all kinds of quota tasks, as well as daily schedules, and even daily sword practice, are all counted as attendance parts.

Zhou Xuanshui listened, and couldn't help but slander: It sounds good, Liang Qiufeng has not been able to enter the Sword Mansion for less than a year, how is his character, and the test is clear and clear?

Of course, these criticisms are categorically unspoken.

Hearing that, Zhang Xingkong continued: "The character has passed, so the main assessment now is to cultivate into combat strength." The inner disciples are elected, and the content of the assessment varies from year to year. Now I announce: this year's format is ......"

When it came to the most crucial thing, the ten disciples, without exception, pricked up their ears to listen, for fear of missing a word.

"-Enter the Sword Cave, slay the Sword Demon, and obtain the Evil Yuan for six hours. In the end, the two people with the best grades will officially become inner disciples. ”

"Wow!"

"It's so hard. ”

"It's harder to ...... than last year"

Hearing the word "Sword Cave", everyone showed a bitter gourd face and secretly complained.

The Sword Cave is a secret place in the Sword Mansion. When the sect was first established, there were already nine layers, which were unfathomable.

This place leads directly to an underground spring of evil qi, and all the time, evil qi gushes out. Over the years, it has become a dangerous place.

Those evil qi, turbulent and swirling, over time, actually condensed and evolved into a kind of non-human existence, like a lonely soul and wild ghost, named "Sword Evil".

Sword Evil, unique to the Sword Cave, kills it, you can obtain a Evil Qi Essence, referred to as "Evil Yuan".

Although the evil yuan is condensed by evil qi, its body can be used as a medicine guide to refine pills, so it has some value.

The sword cave is divided into nine layers, and each layer of sword evil has a different level, one layer is the weakest, and the ninth layer is the strongest. However, even the lowest-level sword warriors are very tricky and difficult to kill for martial artists around the fifth or sixth rank of strength.

No wonder when they heard that they were going to the Sword Cave for assessment, everyone sighed.

Zhang Xingkong saw it in his eyes and smiled slightly: "The sword cave is unusual, if it is entered by evil qi, it will be life-threatening." For your safety, I'll give each of you a teleportation charm before entering. When there is a danger, crush this talisman, and it can interact with the sword cave formation and be automatically teleported out. Of course, this would be tantamount to withdrawing from the campaign ahead of schedule. ”

The Sword Cave is both a place of murder and a place of training. Therefore, in the past, the patriarch of the sect did not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to create and arrange many formation prohibitions, which had various wonderful uses.

However, in normal times, the sword cave is rarely opened, and only the amazing and brilliant disciples can get the opportunity to enter the sword cave to sharpen.

For example, the two true disciples Long Xiangtian and Leng Zhu'er have both entered the Sword Cave. At that time, Leng Zhu'er was able to kill to the fourth layer, and Long Xiangtian was able to kill the sixth layer.

Unexpectedly, this year's inner disciple election assessment was actually arranged to go to the sword cave, which made people gasp.

"Alright, that's all that needs to be said, you guys come with me and go to the Sword Cave. Be careful not to talk along the way, let alone leave temporarily. Offenders will be dealt with as a waiver. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xingkong flicked his sleeves, took the lead and went to the back mountain.

Ten disciples hurriedly followed, not daring to speak.

Zhou Xuanshui and Ma Qianjun walked together, although they didn't speak, they could make eye contact, but they could convey information.

There was a hint of joy in them.

It is difficult to enter the sword cave to kill the sword evil, but everyone is the same, it is very fair, and it doesn't matter. And they are from the same front, without suspicion, and they cooperate seamlessly, and they work together to kill the sword demons, and the efficiency is definitely better than that of a single person.

In addition to this, the two of them also have to do a more important thing, assassinate Liang Qiufeng.

If it is on other occasions, it is difficult to start with the presence of outsiders. But the Sword Cave is different, it is located underground, almost completely enclosed, and all day and night, it is gray, and the vision is very obstructed. The two people are a little farther apart, and they can't see their faces clearly.

And after entering, there is no one to supervise, and many means and actions are not afraid to be used unscrupulously.

In this way, the Sword Cave is simply a perfect assassination environment tailor-made. As long as the gods don't know how to kill the ghost, Liang Qiufeng will definitely not escape death, and the teleportation charm will not be able to save his life.

Taking a step back, even if this kid escapes, as long as the other party has no hope of advancing to the inner disciple, it can be regarded as completing Zhou Bo's instructions.

Disciples will inevitably clash with each other and compete with each other in the election and assessment. In this process, in principle, it is stipulated that the killer is not allowed. But the form in the sword cave is complicated, and it is impossible to distinguish it, even if there is a human life, the sword mansion is not easy to pursue.

After figuring it out, Ma Qianjun and Zhou Xuanshui were overjoyed, looking at the back of Liang Qiufeng who was walking in front, as if they were looking at a dead man.

The back mountain is huge, the landform is intricate, and the sword cave is located in the southeast, about ten miles away.

The pace of the group is not slow, through a large canyon, turning a forest, the scenery in front of them has changed dramatically, a large area is bare, not a single inch of grass grows, the scene is calm.

On a cliff as high as more than ten zhang, there is a stone portal with simple and mottled lines. On the left and right sides of the portal, there is a one-zhang high stone statue standing, holding a spear, and the form is majestic and realistic.

Behind the portal, there is the Sword Cave.

To open the Sword Cave, you need the Mansion Master's Warrant. After Zhang Xingkong explained a little, he took out a golden bar talisman and embedded it in the mechanism on the right side of the portal, and his true qi was stimulated.

Bang!

The portal slowly opened, and it looked like an open mouth about to devour a qiē.

"The sword cave is open, you guys go in quickly!"

Zhang Xingkong gave an order.

Ten disciples spread out one after another and swept into the sword cave.

Behind them, the heavy stone door slowly closed again.
