Chapter 19: Branded Dan

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Hong Bin was still shocked by her outfit, he really couldn't connect the gorgeous and noble woman in front of him with the officer wearing the old military uniform and the loose hair, thinking to himself, this may be the so-called flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix!

The guests also stood up to greet the new leader.

At this time, Mu Zixin, who was in the limelight, was full of the yellow robe on her body that was heavier than the quilt and the pair of red agate shoes on her feet that were as hard as stones......

Yan Qing said that these shoes were specially customized for her, and she also felt that these shoes were tightly bound to her feet, and her feet were as painful and cold as stepping into an ice hole. She looked desperately at the long road to the Golden Jade Divine Throne, and couldn't help but curse angrily in her heart.

Finally walked to the throne, after seeing the monarchs of various countries, Ling Mu nodded to her, Mu Zixin sat down with relief, and the guests in the upper hall also took their seats. Mu Zixin looked around, because she had already looked through the guest table in advance, she generally understood the identities of the guests around her, and when her eyes were about to sweep to the place where a few acquaintances were seated, she simply avoided it.

Ling Mu began to preside over the ceremony and read out the dogma of Ziyun Mountain, Mu Zixin's gaze swept from the upper hall to the lower hall, and at a glance she saw Hong Bin and You Zhen who were waving to her, as well as the big man escort beside You Zhen, which made her feel a little funny, so she also quietly winked at them.

Next, the declaration of succession is read. ”

Ling Mu turned around and motioned for Mu Zixin to stand up and take an oath with him, Mu Zixin reluctantly got up, and Yan Qing immediately handed the scepter up again. Mu Zixin was stunned for a moment, she remembered that the process was written that she could only take the scepter after the oath was taken, she glanced at Yan Qing, and saw that the latter nodded to her, so she reached out to take the scepter, and the moment her fingers touched the scepter, she realized that the scepter was not as cold as it looked, but there was a warm current pouring into her body from the palm of her hand, and finally converged in the center of her eyebrows.

This scepter is made of pure gold, and there is a lifelike fire phoenix coiled around the top, Mu Zixin's fingertips stroked the phoenix's tail, but suddenly found the mechanism hidden in it, and following the direction of the phoenix's coiling, she saw the sharp knife hidden under the phoenix's head.

Ling Mu motioned to the disciple on the side, and the disciple raised the horn and was about to blow it, but was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, it was the young monarch of the Ji country.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Great Elder Ling Mu, the decision of the Elder Pavilion this time is too hasty, isn't it?

Mu Zixin glanced coldly at the monarch who spoke, she had expected that there would be objections and objections, but she didn't expect the king's words to be so ugly.

"Lord Mu is the most suitable candidate, the Elder Pavilion has already reached a consensus on this, as for what you said about degrading your identity, it is nonsense. Ling Mu replied forcefully.

"The widow heard that this Mu Zixin was guilty of a crime, and he was released to Northern Xinjiang by the previous teacher. At this time, the young monarch of Yasukuni also raised doubts, and when he heard his words, everyone in the lower hall began to talk impatiently.

"That's true," the monarch of the Yue Kingdom also echoed, "And the widow has never heard of the name 'Mu Zixin' on the martial arts list, Ziyun Mountain is a place to practice martial arts, how can an unknown person succeed the sect leader?"

"Choosing the sect leader is not only a matter for the Elders' Pavilion, but also involves the interests of the Seven Kingdoms, and when it comes to martial arts, it would be more appropriate for the widow to suggest that the current young master would succeed to the throne. The monarch of Wu also said.

There was another uproar in the lower hall, and the four monarchs had already raised objections, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Great Elder Ling Mu.

"Sister Zixin is in trouble now," You Zhen said with some concern, "The current young master of Ziyun Mountain is Chen Kefan, he is the husband of the previous Wu sect master, and he ranks second on the martial arts list!"

"Such a cow!" Hong Bin opened his mouth and widened his eyes, he heard that the Great Elder Ling Mu was only ranked twenty-first, he didn't expect that young master to be so powerful, "Then why didn't the Elder Pavilion choose him earlier?"

"It's a long story, but in fact, he is also considered guilty," You Zhen said and lowered his eyes, "I heard that he taught an apprentice who deviated from the norm, deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors, and almost destroyed the Seven Kingdoms......"

"Please don't say any more, the Elder Pavilion has made a decision to appoint Mu Zixin as the leader of our sect and succeed him immediately. Ling Mu replied firmly.

"Ling Mu, is it the decision of the Elder Pavilion or is it your decision alone? I think you are a dictatorship!"

"This is indeed a decision made by the Elder Pavilion, and Qingfeng can also testify!"

At this time, Mu Zixin saw a breeze dressed in black not far from her, and he didn't change much, but there was an extra cold mask on his face, maybe it was the old wound left by the melee ten years ago.

"No, I am resolutely against it!" "The monarch of the country of Ji stood up angrily, "If you insist on going your own way, then even if the dignity of the country is blocked, the widow cannot stand idly by!" After he finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man wearing a green cloak beside him, only to see the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised, nodded, and a black shadow flashed behind him in an instant.

At the same time, Mu Zixin also felt a cold air approaching instantly, and just wanted to take the move with a staff, but was blocked by a red light in front of her, and when she looked at it, it was Chen Kefan who blocked the assassin for her with the feather fan in her hand. The feather fan looked ordinary, but in fact, each skeleton in it was made up of sharp knives, and the sword in the assassin's hand pierced through the feather fan, but it was like piercing a rock, unable to move.

"Hmph, if you really want to succeed to the throne, come out and let everyone see your strength, don't hide behind others and be a turtle with a shrunken head!"

"Dealing with your level doesn't require the sect leader to take action at all. Chen Kefan sneered.

"Sect Master?" The assassin was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Mu Zixin again, he found that there was already a golden phoenix pattern between her eyebrows, which symbolized the identity of the sect leader.

"You guys!" he glared at Chen Kefan and Ling Mu angrily, and then looked at the scepter in Mu Zixin's hand. The golden phoenix pattern is a symbol of the identity of the sect leader of Ziyun Mountain, which needs to be tempered by the secret method, and only appears when it is fused with the blood in the body, while the brand pattern pill is jointly selected by the seven countries to select alchemists, and is refined three days before the succession ceremony of the sect leader and then enshrined in the golden tripod box, which is kept by the elders' pavilion, and can only be opened by more than three monarchs who show the king's decree at the same time.

"Ling Mu, you guys are simply crazy, you actually smoked the Branded Pill into the scepter without authorization for Mu Zixin to absorb. The monarch of the Ji Kingdom said angrily.

"Do you know that it is a capital offense to open the Golden Tripod Box without permission?"

"Your Highnesses, why are you saying this?" Ling Mu asked pretending to be confused, "The Golden Tripod Box is obviously still well placed there, and the pills inside are also intact, I don't believe you can open it and take a look." ”

At this point, several monarchs looked at each other and then showed the royal decree, Ling Mu opened the box, and the branded Dan really lay in the golden tripod box intact. Everyone looked at each other, the refining process of the Branded Pill was cumbersome, and it was impossible to practice the second one in a short period of time, and the alchemist could only participate in the refining after being approved by the monarchs of various countries. But what is puzzling is that the phoenix pattern on Mu Zixin's eyebrows is indeed visible only when he takes the Brand Tattoo Pill......

Mu Zixin was also dizzy at this time, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this group of people.

"What the hell are you doing?" the monarch of the Ji Kingdom had completely lost his patience, as if Ling Mu was going to eat it alive if he didn't confess any more.

Ling Mu ignored them anymore, cleared his throat towards everyone, and said sharply, "I announce that from today onwards, Mu Zixin will be the seventeenth sect leader of Ziyun Mountain. ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at Ling Mu with strange eyes, and Mu Zixin also began to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.

"The seventeenth, is the Great Elder wrong, the seventeenth Wu Sect Master is dead, even if this Mu Zixin succeeds to the throne, it should be the eighteenth ......?"

"That's right, Sect Master Mu is indeed the seventeenth, and the Branded Pill she took is also the one that the alchemists refined for the seventeenth Sect Master ten years ago. ”

"How is it possible!The effect of the Branded Pill is only three days, and it is refined strictly according to the time of succession, unless she took the Branded Pill ten years ago......"

"That's right!" Ling Mu replied without hesitation.
