Three days later, in the open space of the inner courtyard of Xuanling Mountain, which was close to the moon, all the cultivators who had signed up to enter the sect gathered again. Only this time, their costumes no longer represent the status of students in the inner courtyard of Xuanling Mountain, but as newcomers of the sixteen sects, wearing their own costumes, led by the Venerable, they all kinds of people gathered separately.

Under a banyan tree in the south of the venue, there were about sixteen or seventeen people from a distance, all of them in black shirts and black trousers, with black ribbons around their waists, their hair tied up, their faces were cold or indifferent, or contemptuous or cold, but no one was arrogant, but they were much silent compared to other people, so they were very conspicuous, and there was a sense of slaughter.

Among them, there is a little girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a moderate height, thin body, like a weak willow supporting the wind, but standing like a green pine in the forest, skin like condensed fat, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, lips like cherries, the bridge of the nose is slightly straight without losing grace, the face is round but not graceful, holding a short knife dagger worn by the newcomers of the Shadow Sect, and the knuckles are green and slender.

Because this girl is slightly younger than everyone in the audience, she has also attracted more attention to the people in black, but I don't know how much of these eyes hide feelings and appreciation, and how many contain jealousy and disdain.

However, what about jealousy, disdain, one year in the outer court, one year in the inner court, in just two years, he was admitted to the Shadow Sect with a perfect score, even if someone is prejudiced against the profession of assassin, it can't stop those envy and worship, as well as the helplessness of the strength of the strong.

As the sun rises, the crowd gathers, and the bell rings to represent the appointed hour. Corresponding to the respective positions of the sixteen sects on the HRE Continent, the sixteen teleportation formations on the grassland were opened one by one. It is said that this formation was personally performed by the heads of the sects, and although the people did not arrive, it was also a good time to show their strength.

Because the spiritual power attributes of each head are different, this formation is also colorful and beautiful. The newcomers sighed at the strange scene and reveled in this special welcome ceremony, but they never thought about the beauty in the eyes of others, which caused the Venerable Shadow Sect to secretly smile bitterly.

Each of these seven spiritual power attributes can conjure up a color, but the color of this formation is not the victory of the colorful changer. Because the more pure the spiritual power, the more refined it is, and the more it can be used well, so the ascended people of the past generations have always only had one spiritual power attribute, just like the eight creators in the ancient legends, and just like the Fengwang Yanye who made trouble in the imperial city a few years ago.

It would be great if Lord Shadow Feather hadn't retreated into the background, the formation of the Ascendant, the lilac light, I think how much amazement it had attracted back then. It's a pity that since the position of the first generation of sect masters five years ago, although there has never been chaos inside and outside the sect, this new formation has still fallen behind.

After a while, everyone's exclamations gradually stopped, and the formation was finally completed, and the more than 200 newcomers were teleported to the bottom of the sect mountain of each sect.

…………

Shadow Sect, the dense forest at the foot of Tianying Mountain, more than 200 people in black have been assembled.

Among them, there are many eighteen or nineteen-year-olds, that is, fresh graduates of the inner court. There are also young people in their twenties, or even middle-aged people in their early thirties, who inquired and found out that they were seniors who graduated from previous years but had not been able to choose to join the sect for a long time. It turns out that this annual sect enrollment can be signed up by anyone who has not yet reached the age of confusion, which has also given many people a lot of free and easy time.

"Stepping over these thousand steps, I am the Heavenly Shadow Sect. What kind of wishes you want, you can choose for yourself before entering the sect. ”

After explaining the direction, the figure of the old man in charge of leading the way flashed and disappeared in front of everyone.

Immediately, some people moved up the mountain, wanting to show their skills, and flew all the way. But as soon as I tried it, I realized that if I stepped on these steps, I would be banned. Not to mention the spiritual power exercises, even martial arts can't be used. It doesn't matter if the strength is a grandmaster, or a volley who has just obtained the admission qualification of the sect.

Ling Xichen secretly weighed it and followed most of the crowd, neither appearing to be outstanding, but also by no means lagging behind. A few more spitting men and women were chosen, and they delayed a few steps in order to listen to their constant exchange of information, or gossip.

"As a result, Shadow Feather-sama won't show up again this year, right?"

"I guess so, the welcome formation is only performed by a great grandmaster."

"What's wrong with the Great Grandmaster, that's the Acting Sect Master, is our future senior brother okay?"

"Is that the legendary junior high brother who was picked up by Lord Shadow Feather?"

"Huh? And this legend? ”

"It's not a legend! I don't know this, and I'm still delusional about entering the Intelligence Division, cut. Ignoring the white eyes of everyone, the man continued, "Thirteen years ago, that is, the year before the bloody night in the Imperial City, our sect master once traveled down the mountain, and that is the first senior brother I met at that time. ”

"Ah yes, I also know about this, and then the sect master took the senior brother back to the sect, and soon after he came back, the old sect master was made disappearing by the hot night, and the name of this shadow feather was passed down."

"And such things? Then since the hot night is such a big festival with the Shadow Sect, why did the seniors still have to help so much on the bloody night of the imperial city. ”

"Hehe, the Shadow Sect killer has always only listened to the tasks of his superiors, and how can he be qualified to care about the rights and wrongs of those grievances."

"Superior Mission...... What did you say Shadow Feather-sama thought back then? ”

"How do I know, maybe I just succeeded the Acting Sect Master and took this opportunity to purge the sect?"

"Maybe it's for the name of Shadow Feather, after all, it was officially crowned by the current emperor not long after that."

"Could it be because of that~ After all, the entrusting party is the hot night~ Feng King~ Flying to the strong~!"

After a speechless sigh.

"What do you think, our sect master is also a soaring powerhouse, okay, can you still be afraid of the hot night?"

"That's right, I heard the seniors who went to the Imperial City to bleed on the night tell me that the endless fire of the hot night looks vigorous, but in the end, it is a group injury technique, and the enemy will not be killed immediately, not to mention, if you are not careful, it is easy to hurt the innocent. It's like our sect master, although he doesn't have any moves worthy of his name, but his shot is steady and accurate, just such a cold and indifferent stroke, but the knife is deadly. And the body is ghostly, and the speed, even the powerhouses on the great grandmaster can't keep up with it. ”

"Hey, it's a pity, I've never seen the sect master make a big move like that later."

"But after that, even if the sect master had gray hair ten years ago for some reason, and the old man who participated in the bloody night of the imperial city back then, no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for the sect master."

"Because of this, although Lord Shadow Feather has been retired to the background for five years, the Shadow Sect has never been in trouble."

"Haven't you ever made a mess? Which sect has not had a little trouble in five years, but with the sect master in charge, it doesn't dare to make trouble and can't make trouble. ”

"Well, didn't it happen two years ago?"

"You mean, the assassination of the Grand Elder by the previous one."

"Yes, I don't know what kind of character this one can get the title of divorce."

"No matter what you're doing so much, I just hope that this Ren's discord is a gentle boss, and he won't treat us harshly in the future."

…………

The 1,000 steps on the way up the mountain, although there are prohibitions, are also a test of the strength of everyone. There are ten levels of grandmaster and below, and the higher the ability, the easier it will be to climb the mountain. As for the Great Grandmaster or the Ascendant, this prohibition is naturally ineffective and cannot stop people.

The sect is approaching, and Ling Xichen, who listened to the gossip all the way, couldn't help but be more curious about the Shadow Feather Lord who everyone worshipped, after all, the hot night, ah no, Feng Yu's perverted strength, the little girl still has a deep understanding. As for the face, after thinking about it for a while, he quietly exercised, flushed slightly, and breathed a little, so as not to expose the strength of the great grandmaster, and he was unremarkable.

The sect door is wide open, enter and look inside, there is a dark hall dotted with crimson in the distance opposite, in front of the hall is a square paved with pure white marble, there are three steps and some railings in the field to enclose the altar of the ground, the altar is carved with an unknown pattern, and there is a flow of spiritual power hidden in the view.

On both sides of the main hall, there is a passage suspended in the air, which seems to lead to the back mountain. There are two dark colored halls on the left and right of the square, as well as two suspended paths, and I don't know where they lead.

Everyone stepped in, the sect was closed, and an old man in black slowly walked in front of the newcomers:

"Welcome to the Heavenly Shadow Sect. I am the Elder of the Department of Internal Affairs, and I am responsible for giving you a brief explanation of the affairs of the sect. ”

"The place where you are is the square in front of the mountain, and the place where you have to convene the assembly after the order. On the opposite side is the main hall, where the head and the elders deal with the affairs of the sect, and the disciples are not allowed to enter without an order. ”

"The road on the left side of the main hall leads to the back mountain, where the head of the sect, the four great elders, and their disciples live. The road on the right leads to the forbidden land, and you are not allowed to enter it without an order from the master. ”

"There are four sub-halls on both sides, where you can receive medicines, weapons, clothing, and missions. There are four roads next to the branch hall, which lead to the four divisions, where the Elder Venerable and his disciples live. Each disciple lives in his own place, and he is not allowed to move around at will unless there are special circumstances. ”

"The four divisions, namely the Intelligence Division, the Assassination Division, the Ninja Division, and the Internal Affairs Division."

"Intelligence Division, the person in charge is the Great Elder. The department is mainly responsible for the collection of intelligence in various places, and the royal city, various sects, ordinary people, and terrain can be used as the subject of investigation depending on the situation. ”

"The Assassination Division is dispatched by the Great Elder, and the Ninja Division is managed by the Great Elder. The difference between the two is that the former fights alone and the latter works in small teams of three. ”

"The Department of Internal Affairs, the Great Elder, is in charge of the affairs of the sect, including newcomer guidance, backup service, task assignment, various assessments, and so on."

"Also, from the head of the sect to the disciples, from the moment they step into the sect, they no longer have their own names. Each elder has a title corresponding to his position, and the disciples have their own number. The head of the family personally passed on the disciples from the first to the ninth day of the junior high school, and there is no need for a black veil to cover their faces; The disciples of the Great Elder are numbered in double digits and must wear black gauze with gold thread strokes; After that, the elder disciples were three digits, while the Venerable disciples were four digits, with silver and white rimmed veils. ”

After a pause in his voice, seeing that everyone had no objections, the elder stretched out his hand and waved, and a crystal ball floated on the chests of the newcomers.

"Finally, the newcomer assessment is carried out. The crystal ball is the assessment venue, the blood mist illusion. Inject your own spiritual power to connect with it, and then close your eyes and enter only with your divine sense. After the assessment, the four divisions and apprentices are assigned according to the strength of each person. The last place in this assessment is eliminated, and the eliminated person is an honorary disciple of the sect, without a number. ”

"If there is no objection, please take a break and start the assessment."
