In the Seven Evil Caves Mansion of the Golden Rainbow Valley, as the sixth junior sister Kong Xiu and the seventh junior brother Xuan Yuying finished practicing their respective swordsmanship, basically everyone was in a state of silence, including Zhang Lie himself.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, the number of years I have lived in my two lives together is not as much as the rest of my master. I've lived all my two lives combined, and I've never seen a second person kill people as casually as eating and drinking. ”

"Grunt."

Because of nervousness, I subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

However, Zhang Lie had already reacted very slightly, and Wei Boyuan, Cheng Xuesong, and even Yin Yifei on his side trembled slightly with fear, even though the Seven Evil Daoists had never moved a finger of him since he was a child.

But under the rage, the air around the Seven Evil Dao people seemed to become alienated and heavy, as thick and cold as corpse water.

At this moment, the sixth junior sister Kong Xiu and the seventh junior brother Xuan Yuying knelt in front of the seven evil Daoists and put their heads on the ground, and they were basically too frightened.

Kong Xiu really has no talent for swordsmanship, and he doesn't like it.

As for Xuan Yuying, he was too nervous.

Zhang Lie, who was standing on the side, could see that Xuan Yuying had worked hard in the past year, but because she was too nervous when practicing swordsmanship, the sword technique was confused, and there were obvious mistakes in the swordsmanship that should have been extremely familiar.

However, the Seven Evil Dao people didn't let him continue to practice at all, and in his anger, he became like this.

"Old Seventh Xuan Yuying, from today onwards, she will be demoted to an outer disciple. Manmei, you remember to inform the Zongmen General Affairs Hall. ”

"Yes."

Even if she was reluctant, Li Manmei still didn't dare to disobey at such a time.

Last year, Xuan Yuying had already been demoted from a registered disciple to an inner disciple, and at this moment he was kneeling there with his head on the ground, and Zhang Lie, who was standing on the side, could already see that this guy was already full of tears.

The Seven Evil Daoists said this coldly, but it almost decided the fate of Xuan Yuying for half of his life.

From a registered disciple to an inner disciple, although there is some loss of rights and interests, the monthly payment is unchanged, all of them are ten lower-grade spirit stones, while the monthly payment of the outer disciple is reduced to five lower-grade spirit stones, and the outer disciples are also known as miscellaneous disciples, they need to be responsible for a large number of complicated affairs every day, and there is hardly enough time for cultivation.

"Master, I know it's wrong. Master, please spare me, please spare me, if I am demoted to an outer disciple, the patriarch will definitely kill me with his own hands, Master! ”

Xuan Yuying was born in the Immortal Cultivation Family, which will certainly gain some convenience, but at the same time, it will be subject to some constraints, the family paid a lot of money to send him to the Seven Evil Dao Sect, and within a few years, he was demoted to an outer disciple, once this matter is transmitted back to the family, it is conceivable what kind of pressure Xuan Yuying will be under.

"Master, isn't this kind of punishment too much?"

Gritting her teeth, Senior Sister Li Manmei finally stepped forward to try to persuade her, she has been serving the Seven Evil Daoists for many years, so although she is a disciple, she still has some face.

"Yes, Master, the swordsmanship of the seventh junior brother has obviously improved a lot compared to before, which means that he has worked hard, but he didn't play well today."

Li Manmei stepped forward, and Zhang Lie also stepped forward to relieve the siege like this.

Breaking the siege is still second, he is more unwilling to let himself be completely suppressed by someone, and there is naturally a sense of arrogance in the hearts of the two lives.

What's more, Xuan Yuying's relationship with herself is also good.

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore. Old Five, you come in with me. ”

As he spoke, the Seven Evils turned and walked towards the house.

Such a resolute and unsparing margin made Li Manmei sigh softly and stop saying anything, she knew in her heart that it was useless to say more.

However, at this time, Xuan Yuying, who was kneeling there, completely broke out because of great fear and unbearable pressure.

The young man kneeling there, looking at Kong Xiu, who let out a long breath beside him, and relaxed his tense body, he suddenly got up.

"Why? My swordsmanship is at least better than that of the sixth senior sister, why should I be the only one who wants to be punished, and she doesn't use it? ”

"By ...... Syllable! ”

Before Xuan Yuying, who was standing up, could utter the second roar, the Seven Evil Daoists turned around and waved their sleeves, and a fierce sword aura swept suddenly on Xuan Yuying's cheek.

With a click, from Zhang Lie's point of view, Xuan Yuying's whole person was beaten into the air and spun and then slammed to the ground.

Zhang Lie almost felt that his head was swept crooked by Shizun's sleeve!

After he was knocked to the ground, he was able to make sure that his vital signs were still there, and although he had fainted, he was not dead, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Old Seven!"

"Senior Brother Xuan!"

Seeing this scene, everyone else pounced on Xuan Yuying, only Zhang Lie followed the Seven Evil Daoists into the room, and someone who stood aside and ignored Xuan Yuying, staring at Zhang Lie's back.

Unwilling, angry? Pain, grievance?

In the face of the crushing of almost absolute cultivation strength, it is best to suppress these meaningless emotions in your heart and not reveal them, if the emotional outburst is really stronger than calm and rational, then this world has long been a paradise of paranoia.

"Old Five, do you think I've gone too far?"

After entering the room, the Seven Evil Daoists walked to the round table and poured themselves a cup of tea, and drank it with a heroic spirit.

In fact, the Seven Evil Daoists were extremely good at drinking back then, but because of the late master's mother, they had never drunk it again over the years.

"Since ancient times, strict teachers have produced high apprentices, if there are no such strict requirements as the master, the senior brother and sister will not have the realm they have today."

Zhang Lie gave a salute and said sincerely.

In a world of brutal competition, it is definitely not a bad thing to have a strict and strict master, he really thinks so.

"In the first ten years of a new disciple's entry, the sect usually does not force the delegation of tasks, whether it is to learn refining weapons or alchemy, or to be a spirit planter, as long as there is a willingness to find a channel, no matter what the sect wants to do, it will not be blocked."

"But after ten years, it is up to you what kind of sect tasks you need to do in many cases. According to the disciple's cultivation and expertise, the general affairs hall will arrange for him to complete the task of the sect, or to drive out demon beasts, or to hunt down traitors, to inquire about intelligence, to guard the ore veins, etc., the monks who are most likely to die in the sect tasks every year are those disciples who have just begun to perform such sect tasks. I'd rather Xuan Yuying hate me to the bone in the future, than I don't want him to mess around half-heartedly for ten years like now, and then die outside, since I have accepted his Xuan family's apprenticeship, I will do what I Yin Tianqiu thinks should be done. ”

"Playing badly because you're nervous? When the sword is pointed at his eyes, and a dead man dies on the ground, will he be able to play well? ”

“…… After many years, the seventh junior brother should be able to understand the good intentions of the master. ”

"It's not about it, it's just a matter of exchanging interests and taking what you need." The Seven Evil Daoists raised their hands and slowly turned around.

At this moment, the tall and thin middle-aged Taoist looked at Zhang Lie with his somewhat gray eyes, and only after a moment did he speak:

"Old Five, I've already heard about the incident where you killed and infiltrated the scattered cultivation, and Senior Uncle Wang of the Law Enforcement Hall also praised you to me. It's true that you're a bit of a natural sword bone, but have you ever thought about yourself later? ”

"Please teach me."

"You are also a monk from a family, because of your own circumstances, you have also earned some good deeds spirit stones, but you are the same as me, you are all four spirit root cultivation talents, at least before forming a golden pill, the more difficult it is for people like us to cultivate and progress in the future, and the greater the consumption of resources, and the Zhuji Dan of the Sect Jubao Immortal Building, at least 10,000 good deeds can be exchanged, and sometimes you will bid for 14,000 good deeds, have you considered these things?"

This time, without waiting for Zhang Lie to respond, Yin Tianqiu had already continued:

"We are all practicing swords, and the avenue can only be taken from the sword. Today, I have one thing I want to 'take what you need', but you can decide for yourself whether to do it or not. ”

As he spoke, Yin Tianqiu took out a scroll and threw it into Zhang Lie's hand.

"Open it and take a look."

Zhang Lie opened the scroll to watch, but saw that it was a sect task scroll: "Enter the Netherworld Abyss of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, clear the evil demons, and suppress the Netherworld!" ”
