Sure enough, after Zhao Haochu's efforts, he used his spiritual power to conjure up a "sword spirit", although this 'sword spirit' flashed with a faint blue light, and it didn't look very powerful, but when Zhao Haochu drove this "sword spirit" to attack Gong Yufan's "sword spirit", Gong Yufan was obviously a little defeated.

Gong Yufan continued to use his spiritual power to make his "Sword Spirit" stronger, but his spiritual power was about to run out, and he was unable to make his "Sword Spirit" stronger, and seeing Zhao Haochu's two "Sword Spirits" slowly suppressing his "Sword Spirit" and there was no way.

With a "bang", Gong Yufan's sword fell to the ground, and he was devoured by spiritual power and spit out a mouthful of blood. Zhao Haochu confidently and proudly withdrew his "Sword Spirit", although Zhao Haochu's face also looked a little tired, he still held his body and stood straight, waiting for the announcement of the referee's disciple.

As the referee disciple announced: "Zhao Haochu wins!"

Gong Yufan dragged his weak body and walked out of the competition venue silently, but Zhao Haochu walked to the judges' bench with his head held high. At that time, the disciples in the audience could not be calm, and there was a boiling discussion.

"Why can't Gong Yufan beat Zhao Haochu, he is the eldest disciple of the head......"

"Why is the second senior brother winning, why is it not the senior brother......

"If Zhao Haochu serves as the acting head, we won't have a good life......

"It is estimated that in the future, I will have to get up at the end of the day, and I will be able to fall asleep at the end of the day......"

After a while, the presiding disciple shouted, "Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet! Please listen to the master's speech! Everyone be quiet!"

With the words of the presiding disciple, everyone gradually quieted down, and then Shi Hong began to speak, and he said: "Due to family matters, this head will not be able to manage the affairs of the Heavenly Sword Sect for a long time in the future, so according to the previous agreement, if anyone can win the 'Sword Spirit' competition, he will serve as the acting head and manage the affairs of the sect instead of the head of the sect." ”

Shi Hong paused and continued: "Now my second disciple Zhao Haochu has lived up to everyone's expectations and won the 'Sword Spirit' competition, so this head now announces that Zhao Haochu will serve as the acting head of the Heavenly Sword Sect from now on, and will take care of all the affairs of the sect instead of this head of the sect, assisted by the three major elders. ”

Zhao Haochu then said impassionedly: "Thank you to the master and the three elders for their trust in Zhao Haochu, I hereby promise that I will manage the Heavenly Sword Sect well, and lead all the senior brothers and disciples in the sect to diligently cultivate the 'Sword Spirit', cultivate the Immortal Dao, and never slack off!"

Since Zhao Haochu sat in the position of acting head, Gong Yufan asked Shi Hong to resign and left the Tianjian Gate, and went down the mountain to practice, after Zhao Haochu was authorized, in order to get further affirmation from Shi Hong and the three elders, and then completely get the position of the head of the Tianjian Gate, so the new official took office with three fires, and after he took the position of the head, he did several major things:

The first major event: he strengthened the strict control of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he required all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to diligently cultivate the "Sword Spirit" every day, get up before the end of the day, and only fall asleep when the child is in the middle, and the rest of the time must be used to cultivate the "Sword Spirit". If you are late or leave early, you will not be able to eat for a day, and if you repeat the offender, you will be punished with manual work, such as chopping wood, carrying water, and washing the toilet...... , and even worse, they will be abolished spiritual power and driven out of the Heavenly Sword Gate.

The second major event: He recruited people from all over the world to enter the Heavenly Sword Gate, whether the children of the rich family have the opportunity to cultivate immortals or not, as long as they are given enough rich materials, they can enter the Heavenly Sword Gate to cultivate immortals, and they can be treated preferentially, if they make mistakes, they do not need to be punished, they can be offset with materials, and the children of poor families who want to enter the Heavenly Sword Gate to cultivate immortals must go through many strict tests, and they will be subjected to various corporal punishments if they make mistakes.

The third major event: All the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect are not allowed to meet their families, they must devote themselves to cultivating immortal arts, and they can only meet their families when they have achieved success in five years and go down the mountain to practice.

The fourth major event: He found various reasons and used various means to force away disciples who were not sincere to him, such as Ao Sheng, Zhang Youlai, Lian Haodong, Sun Weifan and other disciples.

Under Zhao Haochu's management, people were hungry every day, and people were punished every day for cutting wood, carrying water, and cleaning toilets...... , every once in a while, someone was kicked out of the Heavenly Sword Gate, and there were also people who made the same mistake, and they could be exempted from punishment by taking some materials.

Most of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had a lot of complaints about Zhao Haochu, and everyone took a detour when they saw Zhao Haochu, not wanting to say much to him, but Zhao Haochu didn't think so.

Because the three elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect saw that the number of disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect was increasing, and the "sword spirits" of many disciples were making rapid progress, they did not pay attention to the details of Zhao Haochu's management, but expressed satisfaction with the superficial phenomena they saw, and appreciated Zhao Haochu very much.

After ten years of such a muddy life, Shi Hong's child, Shi Xuan, is also more than nine years old.

Some of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect really couldn't stand Zhao Haochu's forced cultivation pressure, and at dinner time that day, about thirty people, after discussing together, they decided to find Shi Hong to re-manage the affairs of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

These thirty or so people, including blue-shirted disciples, white-shirted disciples, and redwood disciples, came to Shi Hong's residence together, bent down together, and said respectfully: "Please return to the Heavenly Sword Sect Council!"

Shi Hong and Ling Xiang were very embarrassed when they saw this, but they didn't expect these disciples to see that Shi Hong didn't agree, and they all knelt down again, and said together: "Please return to the Heavenly Sword Sect director!"

Shi Hong and Ling Xiang hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, get up and talk." ”

"No, if we don't get up, if the head doesn't agree, we won't get up!" the disciples all said firmly.

Shi Hong had no choice, he also understood in his heart why these disciples were so determined to ask themselves to be directors, so he said bitterly: "I know why you want to ask me to go back to the council, you can't stand Zhao Haochu's strict requirements, but have you ever thought that it is Zhao Haochu's strict requirements, your cultivation can make rapid progress now, there is a way to 'eat hardships to become a master', your hard work, isn't it all rewarded to yourself?"

Hearing this, a white-shirted disciple kneeling in the front row said: "It's not that we don't know what you said, but the acting head of the house is unfair, and we really can't stand it. ”

Another blue-shirted disciple with a yellow face and thin muscles also said: "Yes, master, I am a new disciple, children from poor families like me must pass many tests if they want to enter the Heavenly Sword Gate, and Li Shoujin, who signed up with me, has a rich and powerful family, so the acting head who has given some benefits, they don't have to go to the test, and they live and eat better than us." ”

Another chubby blue-shirted disciple cried and said, "Master, you must be the master for me!" he cried and said, "I have been fat and sick since I was a child, and my parents have scattered all the money in the family in order for my body to improve, so that I can successfully enter the Heavenly Sword Sect to cultivate. But I got up a little late today, and the acting head asked me to pay a fine of 200 taels, but I really didn't, and the acting head didn't allow me to eat a day, and asked me to cut wood, carry water, and clean the toilet...... I was already weak, so I fainted while working, and when the acting head found out, he said that he would drive me down the mountain, but my parents scattered all the money in the family in order to let me enter the Heavenly Sword Gate to practice, if I was driven down the mountain like this, how desperate my parents would be. After saying that, the chubby blue-shirted disciple choked up.

A fair-skinned and handsome white-shirted disciple said righteously: "The head of the sect once said that cultivating immortals depends on chance, and forcing others to impose cultivation like the acting head of the sect is not destroying the fate of others, and besides, what is the difference between his crazy behavior and demons!"

Looking at these suffering disciples, Shi Hong and Ling Xiang shook their heads distressedly and expressed sympathy for them.

A redwood disciple kneeling in the middle said unhappily, "Master, you will do what everyone wants, come back and manage us!" Second Senior Brother, he is really too strict. ”

Another redwood disciple kneeling beside this redwood also said in amazement: "Yes, Master, if you don't come back to take care of things, Senior Brother won't come back, Senior Brother has been gone for ten years, we all miss him so much!"

At this time, everyone coaxed together: "Yes, master, you will come back to take care of things!

Hearing this, Shi Hong and Lingxiang suddenly felt a sore feeling in their hearts, and in their hearts, why didn't they miss their eldest brother ** Yu Fan.

Shi Hong stopped his thoughts about Gong Yufan and said, "You all go back, let me think about it, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

After the disciples left, Lingxiang prepared the meal, Shi Hong sat and worried about the matter of the disciples' petition just now, Lingxiang didn't care, but kept looking anxiously outside the house, looking east and west, and his eyes were about to look at a flower.

Lingxiang looked outside the house for a while, her heart became more and more anxious, her heart went up and down, and finally she couldn't help it, and said to Shi Hong uneasily: "Xianggong, why hasn't Xuan'er come back yet, it's dark this day, and the food is going to be cold, why haven't you seen him come back?"

Shi Hong came back to his senses, looked out the window, and saw a piece of black pressure outside the window, so he quickly got up and said, "Xuan'er Xu went to play somewhere, I'll go out to find him." ”

"I'll go with you. Lingxiang hurriedly said.

Shi Hong hurriedly stopped and said: "Madam, you just wait for Xuan'er at home, this mountain road is rugged, and you are not in good health, don't make you sick." ”

"But I don't worry about you. Lingxiang said worriedly.

"Boss, Mrs. Boss is not good, Shi Xuan's little son fainted. Suddenly, a white-shirted disciple rushed over and preached in a panic.
