Xia Yan and Steward Zhang went to the temple from the small courtyard together, while Li Yuanchun returned to the Purple Leaf Academy again after saying goodbye, and the Purple Leaf Academy now had a lot of things that he needed to help deal with every day. [Full text reading]

...... "Look!"

"That's Steward Zhang of our temple, and beside him is the hall master who personally greeted Mr. Xia Yan, who was very polite!"

Outside the door of the temple, the eyes of a team of patrolling guards all turned to Steward Zhang and Xia Yan, who were walking in. This team of guards is the same team of people who have seen Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun a few days ago.

At that time, when they saw the temple master personally come out to greet Xia Yan, they almost lost their jaws, and they were naturally deeply impressed by this matter. Now that I saw Xia Yan and Steward Zhang coming over together, my attention was naturally attracted.

"Steward Zhang, Mr. Xia Yan!"

The captain of the guard, hurried over and saluted.

"Well, the hall master ordered, I will now take Mr. Xia Yan into the temple. Steward Zhang said to the captain of the guard with a serious face.

"Steward Zhang, please, Mr. Xia Yan, please!" the captain of the guard hurriedly 'snorted' his body, and at the same time made a gesture of please.

Nodding, Steward Zhang faced Xia Yan and smiled again, "Mr. Xia Yan, please come in." ”

"Hehe, okay. Xia Yan said with a smile.

The two men walked through the long corridor and soon came to the outer sanctuary of the temple.

In normal times, if there is a meeting in the temple, all the temple deacons will gather in the outer temple to discuss with the temple master. At the entrance of the outer hall, Steward Zhang suddenly stopped at his feet.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Xia Yan has arrived and is outside the hall. Steward Zhang shouted through the door of the outer hall to the inside.

Outside the door of the outer hall, there were two guards with good strength.

"Oh, Xia Yan is here, come in!" came the voice of the hall master Pang Yuan.

Xia Yan rolled his eyes, then raised his feet and walked in.

Pang Yuan stood up from his seat, left his seat and walked over to Xia Yan in person, with an affectionate smile on his face.

"Xia Yan, I knew yesterday that you had won a hundred consecutive victories at the Extreme Challenge Venue, so I called all the deacons over today. Hall Master Pang Yuan said with a smile.

Around the long table, there were quite a few people sitting. These people all looked at Xia Yan, who had just come in and was dressed in a white shirt, among which Song Li, the patriarch of the Song family, and Lu Xiangpo, the patriarch of the Lu family, were sitting in it.

"Hall Master, why do you attach so much importance to this Xia Yan?"

Almost all the deacons were amazed in their hearts. The hall masters all stood up, and these deacons naturally stood up one after another, looking at Xia Yan. Except for Song Li and Lu Xiangpo, the others all had smiles on their faces.

There were a total of eleven deacons present today, among them, seven of them were in Purple Leaf City, and the remaining four were from several county towns under the jurisdiction of Purple Leaf City. The deacons who came from the county towns were themselves the masters of those county towns.

There is also a deacon who is the head of the county hall, and he couldn't be there in time because of a special event, but it didn't have much impact. As early as three days ago, Pang Yuan had informed these temple deacons to rush to Purple Leaf City, and he knew that Xia Yan's challenge would not take much time.

"Thank you, Lord of the Temple. Xia Yan hurriedly thanked him.

"Hehe, the current hall master of Yushui City is also here. Pang Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked behind him, where there was another person standing there.

Because the hall master of Jade Water City was not a temple deacon, he was not qualified to sit at this long table, so he could only sit aside.

"Huh?" Xia Yan looked at the hall master.

When he was in Yushui City before, Xia Yan had seen the hall master of the Holy Hall many times, and he had a very good impression of that hall master. However, the person in front of him is obviously not the one he has seen before.

It's been less than a year since he left Yushui City, and the hall master has been replaced?

As if seeing the doubts in Xia Yan's heart, Pang Yuan said slowly on the side, "The hall master of the Jade Water City Holy Hall changed once a year ago, and now the hall master is this Mr. Lan. ”

"So that's the case!" Xia Yan nodded slightly, and looked at the Lan Hall Master, the Lan Hall Master who stood up, his body was a little stiff and unnaturally nodded at Xia Yan.

A few days ago, Pang Yuan, the master of the temple, suddenly summoned him to Purple Leaf City. At that time, he didn't know what was going on, and when he arrived here, Pang Yuan just asked him to wait, and for several days, he was wondering why the hall master Pang Yuan asked him to come to the temple in a hurry.

Today, he finally knew that someone was going to challenge him for the position of hall master.

When he first heard the news, he didn't pay much attention to it. It is not uncommon to challenge the hall master, and it was through the challenge that he became the hall master of Yushui City a few years ago.

But when he sat on the side just now, listening to Pang Yuan discuss this matter with the eleven deacons, his heart became more and more shocked.

Now, he knew that the person who wanted to challenge him was a special student of the Purple Leaf Academy, and his strength had already stepped into the realm of the Great Spirit Master. And he himself is now just the realm of the late stage of the spirit master. Although he is also at the peak of the spirit master, he has not stepped into the realm of the great spirit master. At first, he was still weighing whether he had a chance of winning.

However, as the hall master and several deacons discussed more and more, he became more and more frightened.

The patriarch of the Lu family said that Xia Yan, who was going to replace him, killed the elder of the Lu family, and the patriarch of the Song family, said that Xia Yan killed his son.

The hall master and several other deacons all said that Xia Yan stepped into the realm of the Great Spirit Master, and also participated in the academy exchange meeting, and took the Purple Leaf Academy to become one of the only three super academies on the mainland.

He is the hall master of a county town, of course he knows what the academy exchange meeting is, and he also clearly knows the weight of the super academy in the Dragon Continent.

Slowly, the sweat on his face came out unconsciously.

"Xia Yan, you have won a hundred consecutive victories at our Purple Leaf City Extreme Challenge Venue, and you have met the conditions to challenge the county hall master. I've just discussed it with the eleven temple deacons in attendance, and I think you can challenge the Templar Master. If you succeed in the challenge, you will become the new Templar Master of Jade Water City. Pang Yuan reached out and patted Xia Yan's shoulder gently.

Before Xia Yan arrived, Pang Yuan and the eleven deacons were discussing.

Song Li and Lu Xiangpo did not agree with Xia Yan challenging the Holy Hall Master. Of the other nine deacons, three did not express their opinions, and six agreed with Xia Yan to challenge the master of the Jade Water City Holy Hall.

In the end, it was up to Pang Yuan to challenge the decision of the Jade Water City Templar Hall Master through Xia Yan.

"Hehe, thank you again to Hall Master Pang Yuan, as well as the deacons. Xia Yan smiled and clasped his fists and bowed slightly to the deacons, and these deacons also returned the salute.

Of course, Song Li and Lu Xiangpo are not among them.

"I have long heard that Mr. Xia Yan is unusual, and I only had the opportunity to see it today, and it is really extraordinary. An elegant temple deacon looked at Xia Yan and said.

"Mr. Xia Yan, I am Qi Haomin of the Qi family, and my son is Qi Jialuo, and he said that he had seen you. Qi Haomin introduced himself.

Xia Yan thought about it for a while, and then remembered that Qi Jialuo. That's right, Xia Yan did see Qi Jialuo. At that time, Su Qin was also present, and Xia Yan's impression of Qi Jialuo was also very good.

"It turned out to be the Qi Patriarch!" Xia Yan hurriedly said, "Yes, I know Qi Jialuo." ”

"Mr. Xia Yan, I must be a guest at Qi's house, Jia Luo, but I often mention you in front of me, and he has always regarded you as the goal of struggle and the object of chasing. Qi Haomin complimented.

Xia Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Patriarch Qi is serious, but if he is free, he will definitely go to the mansion to disturb him." ”

The rest of the deacons, except for Song Li and Lu Xiangpo, everyone else also had a few words with Xia Yan to a greater or lesser extent.

Especially Meng Wei, who challenged the hall, was even more enthusiastic about Xia Yan.

In terms of identity, Xia Yan's current identity is probably even higher than that of these deacons.

Of course, they didn't know about the Heavenly Palace yet, let alone that Xia Yan was a Heavenly Palace cultivator. If they knew, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to talk to Xia Yan so casually.

Regarding Xia Yan's identity as a Heavenly Palace cultivator, the hall master Pang Yuan, of course, also knew that he needed to keep it secret.

"Hall Master Lan, I think it's better to take advantage of now, let's go to the challenge hall together, and you and Xia Yan have a fight. The victor is the hall master of Yushui City. ”

The people in the hall chatted for a while, and Pang Yuan said to the hall master.

Hearing this, Hall Master Lan hurriedly shook his head quickly and said, "Hall Master, I know that my strength is not Mr. Xia Yan's opponent, so I want to abstain. ”

Hall Master Lan's words made everyone slightly stunned.

Even Xia Yan didn't expect that Hall Master Lan would abstain. Of course, Xia Yan didn't regard Hall Master Lan as an opponent, the difference in strength was too big, but it was not common for a Hall Master to abstain before he started the fight.

"Hall Master Lan, are you sure?" Pang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Xin said: "Even if you know each other, you are complete now, I can also arrange for you to work in the temple, if you insist on challenge, then the result will be difficult to say." ”

"Yes, Lord Hall, deacons, and Mr. Xia Yan, I have decided to abstain. Hall Master Lan gritted his teeth and said with a very firm expression on his face.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then, now Xia Yan is the master of the Jade Water City Holy Hall. In this way, I asked Steward Zhang to bring the documents to the Jade Water City Sanctuary to announce this matter. Xia Yan, you can go back to Yushui City at any time. Pang Yuan said to Xia Yan with a smile.

Xia Yan didn't expect it to be so fast.

Originally, he was still thinking that Pang Yuan needed to inform those deacons to come to Purple Leaf City first, which would inevitably take several days. Then a meeting was held to discuss it, and finally it was decided to challenge the deadline and so on, and I am afraid that it would be delayed for a week.

Unexpectedly, it was only one morning, and it was completely over.

In this way, in the afternoon, Xia Yan will be able to return to Yushui City from Purple Leaf City!

"Hall Master Pang Yuan, it's really good, I owe him a favor, if there is anything that can help him in the future, I will definitely help him. Xia Yan thought in his heart.

Others have kindness to themselves, and Xia Yan will naturally always keep it in his heart.

After the matter was decided, all the deacons dispersed. For Song Li and Lu Xiangpo, Xia Yan also has a certain number in his heart, and these two families of Purple Leaf City cannot be left alone. However, there is no rush for a moment.
