Chapter 42: Trade-offs
It didn't take long for Li Fei to follow his master to the Lingyun Sect Master's hall. Deputy Sect Master Xiong, the He Clan's Twin Heroes, and Grand Elder Ouyang were all already here.
Grand Elder Ouyang, Li Fei is still seeing him for the first time, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, between his complexion, demeanor, words and demeanor, he is born with a coquettish and graceful smile, charming and gorgeous, and at the same time gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Grand Elder Li just said one sentence: "Li Fei can 'teleport' ten zhang when he wears cloud-stepping boots. And he was silent.
After listening to Elder Li's words, the others' faces changed drastically, and they all fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere was extremely dull and solemn......
Li Fei inexplicably felt that the air around him had become colder, and a faint sense of crisis shrouded his heart, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move, so he could only stand aside obediently, waiting for the unknown fate with apprehension......
After about a moment of silence, the Lingyun Sect Master glanced around and said, "Senior Brother Li, you take Li Fei to the confinement room first, and when you come back, we will discuss it later!"
Grand Elder Li nodded and took the lead in walking out of the door, and Li Fei lowered his head to follow.
On the way to the confinement room, Li Fei had already guessed that it was Tianchen's micro-steps and cloud-stepping boots that caused this mutation, and the foreboding became stronger and stronger, and his steps became extremely heavy......
Grand Elder Li naturally saw Li Fei's reaction, sighed, and comforted: "You don't have to be afraid! I don't think you are wrong! As long as Master is here, it is a big matter, and Master will carry it for you!"
The idea of escaping turned in Li Fei's heart countless times, and finally sighed in his heart and gave up the idea of escaping, mainly because the possibility of escaping was too low......
A moment later, Li Fei moved into a pitch-black hut, and Grand Elder Li closed the door and left.
It is estimated that after the master walked away, Li Fei tried to scratch the door and wall with a dagger, although he could cut some of it, but with a flash of inspiration, it was back to the same in an instant.
After countless trials, Li Fei was desperate and could only wait for the trial......
I don't know how long it took, Li Fei felt that an extremely long time had passed, and no one paid attention to him, and when he was drowsy, the door of the confinement room slowly opened!
Sect Master Lingyun stood outside the door and sighed, and then said sternly: "Li Fei, I don't care who you learned your exercises from, if you don't fight to the death in the future, you won't be able to show your supernatural powers far beyond the same level! If you can't use them, you can't leave them alive! You yourself may not quite understand it, but one day you will understand." If you are not careful, it may bring endless catastrophe! Even if the entire planet is destroyed, it is not impossible!"
Li Fei was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and thought to himself: "This consequence is too serious, I just made a full attack with all my strength in the Cloud Walking Boots!, but since the sect master has come to warn me, I shouldn't be worried about my life for the time being." ”
Of course, Li Fei could only think about it, but he resolutely promised: "Yes! The disciple will abide by the decree of the sect master! If any adverse consequences are caused, he will punish himself and apologize!"
Sect Master Lingyun nodded, and said with difficulty: "In order to protect you, all the disciples present today have been forcibly erased from their memories, and some have erased them all because they were unsuccessful...... Only a very small number of core disciples were spared, but they were also given a gag order, plus a ban ......"
After listening to the results of the treatment that the sect master said, Li Fei couldn't stand it anymore, although he didn't know how difficult it was to erase his memory, but from the solemn and painful expression of the sect master, he knew that it was an extremely dangerous thing!
At the beginning, Li Fei originally wanted to ask for a favor for Sisi, but thinking that so many people could not be spared, he could no longer speak, hundreds of disciples, and elders, said that sacrifice would be sacrificed, if it wasn't for some consideration or specific reason, he should be the first object to be destroyed, so he could only pray for Sisi in his heart......
Sect Master Lingyun hesitated for a moment, walked into the confinement room, and said gently: "Li Fei, the matter has passed, you don't have too much pressure! You have brought me too many surprises, and I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, I can only depend on your creation." ”
Lingyun Sect Master paused for a moment, his eyes flashed with hope and continued: "You are not Fang Yuanxing's cultivator, you should be from a distant place, your original master should be a great powerhouse, why did he send you to Fang Yuanxing?"
Li Fei felt bitter in his heart, knowing that the real theme was coming, but he didn't show anything, just replied respectfully: "Back to the sect master, I am indeed not Fang Yuanxing's cultivator, I have also asked many times why my master sent me, but his old man just refused to tell me, he just said that he would naturally know when he should know." ”
Sect Master Lingyun's interest intensified, he moved forward and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever heard of the 'Innate Exercises'?"
"No, my cultivation time is relatively short, and I basically didn't know anything before I came to Fang Yuanxing, and Xue'er also knew it at that time. Li Fei didn't have to think about this question at all, and naturally replied, as for the things he learned from the folding fan, he naturally wouldn't mention it, and Li Fei thought that it had nothing to do with him.
The Lingyun Sect Master pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Does the alien powerhouse who made a fuss a while ago have anything to do with you?"
Li Fei shook his head and replied calmly: "It has nothing to do with me, I just met at the auction in Luozhou City, and everyone who participated in the auction at that time saw it." ”
Sect Master Lingyun nodded, quite satisfied with Li Fei's answer, and finally reminded: "You must remember what I said at the beginning, in addition, you must cultivate well, if you have any questions or needs, you can always come to me, as long as it can be provided, you must try your best to meet it!"
"Thank you, Sect Master! I will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to the Sect Master's expectations!" Li Fei replied respectfully. At this time, Li Fei was really relieved.
Sect Master Lingyun took out a few transmission notes and handed them to Li Fei, then turned around and left.
After a long while, Li Fei walked out of the confinement room and flew northwest with a nervous mood.
Half an hour later, when Li Fei arrived at the Northwest Canyon, the competition site was empty, except for a large number of scattered footprints on the ground, there seemed to be nothing left.
Li Fei walked around a few times, and after carefully inspecting it, he found that there were several pools of fresh blood in different directions! Although most of them had been dealt with simply, Li Fei could still confirm that not long ago, there was a fight here, and it is estimated that someone noticed something and was unwilling to sit still and chose to resist......
Back at the temporary cave mansion, Li Fei felt a burst of irritability, thinking that so many of his peers were innocently implicated because of him, and he felt extremely uncomfortable......
There is also Sisi, Li Fei is basically sure that if she hadn't met herself in Fang City, she shouldn't have come to see this excitement, and the most important thing is that if she didn't go all out and slowly persisted in the time of the two pillars of incense, nothing would happen......
But there was no if, Li Fei spent several hours in torment, and he had no intention of doing anything at all......
The next day, Li Fei decided to go back to Beifeng to have a look, hoping that the brothers and sisters would not be affected. At that time, because there were too many people, Li Fei didn't notice them.
Li Fei quickly came to the North Peak and found that there were no disciples on duty in front of the North Peak Mountain Gate, there was silence all around, and the huge mountain gate looked extremely strange under the dark night sky.
First of all, he rushed to the cave mansion that he opened with Sisi a few days ago, and Li Fei found nothing. Then, Li Fei rushed to the elder brother's cave mansion.
Li Fei pushed the gate, but failed to push it open, and the courtyard was quiet. Li Fei knocked on the door for a long time before the senior brother's low and annoyed voice came: "Who is knocking on the door outside? Don't you know that Master has strictly ordered no one to walk outside?"
Li Fei replied in a low voice: "Senior brother, I am Li Fei. ”
The door quickly opened a crack, and Liu Yun whispered: "Come in quickly, don't say anything, follow me!"
Li Fei followed Liu Yun all the way around and came to Liu Yun's underground cave mansion, which was quite large, but there were no superfluous objects except for some simple decorations and some books. After the two sides sat down cross-legged, Liu Yun sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After being silent for a while, Li Fei couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, where have all those sect disciples who were taken away gone?
Liu Yun said in a low voice: "Not long ago, when Master came back, he mentioned to me that there are not too many people whose lives are in danger, but there are many who become fools...... Fortunately, at that time, several senior brothers and sisters had something to do, so they didn't go to see the excitement, otherwise it would have been unimaginable! In addition, I don't know the cause of this incident, and I don't want to know. ”
Li Fei listened to Liu Yun's explanation, his mood did not improve at all, as a cultivator who transcended mortals after going through a lot of hardships, he finally became a fool, it is better to die happily.
Li Fei continued to ask a little unwillingly: "Is there any way to treat the sequelae caused by this situation?"
Liu Yun replied uncertainly: "I heard that there seems to be, but I don't know what kind of pill it is, I only know that it is extremely difficult to cure." ”
Li Fei asked, "What will happen to people if they end up being fools?"
Liu Yun replied casually: "Of course, I arranged to do coolies, and I will basically arrange to go to the spiritual mine of the sect to mine." ”
Li Fei then asked the last question: "How will some lucky people be settled?"
Liu Yun replied a little impatiently: "Of course they came from where they came from, anyway, they have forgotten about the recent events." ”
Li Fei got up and said goodbye to Liu Yun: "Thank you, senior brother, I'll go back to the Northwest Canyon and work hard to cultivate, I won't come out easily if I have nothing to do." ”
Liu Yun replied without raising his head: "Go ahead." ”
Li Fei knew that there was a way to save him, and his mood was a little better, although he knew that it was very difficult, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would work hard to fight for it and make some compensation for his unintentional mistakes as much as possible.
Returning to the temporary cave mansion, Li Fei took a pill of the elixir, worked hard to eliminate distracting thoughts, and cultivated with all his might.
Early the next morning, Li Fei finished his cultivation, his mood calmed down a bit, and he was ready to start learning the refining elixir from today.
Considering that he would not come back in a short time, Li Fei cleaned up and walked out of the temporary cave without looking back.
But the scene outside the door surprised and delighted Li Fei......
