Chapter 178: Strange Assessment

Chapter 178

Phantom Sword Sect.

The first time Xiao Zhan heard this name was when he first met Fang Yu.

At that time, Fang Yu was chased and killed by Li Yu of the Famous Sword Sect to Huangzhou, where he was met by Xiao Zhan, and he also helped Fang Yu beat Li Yu away.

At that time, Xiao Zhan asked who was the most powerful in Qingzhou.

Fang Yu said at that time that the most powerful was the Sect Master of the Phantom Sword Sect, who was at the peak of the God King Realm a hundred years ago.

But Xiao Zhan can now be sure that the peak of the God King Realm is by no means the most powerful in Qingzhou.

Because Bai Qi Mountain, which now sits in the Wasteland and guards the treasure house of the Wasteland, is the pinnacle of the God King Realm.

And Bai Qishan himself said that there were two people in the Qingtian Sect alone that he couldn't beat.

Unlike the vast Qingtian Sect, the Phantom Sword Sect is located on a volcano ten thousand feet high.

The volcano is black and towering like a cloud.

Standing in the distance, only the lower part of the volcano could be seen, and there were many disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect patrolling, and no one was allowed to approach without permission.

Through the clouds, a huge fiery red sword shadow was faintly seen, poking out of the crater, and it was not high.

Xiao Zhan quickly approached the huge volcano and was stopped at a distance of about ten miles.

What appeared in front of Xiao Zhan were two men dressed in white and holding long swords.

They looked at Xiao Zhan and asked routinely:

"This brother, what is the matter with my Phantom Sword Sect?"

Xiao Zhan saw that the other party was very polite, so he hugged his fists and said:

"Two senior brothers, I have always admired the prestige of the Phantom Sword Sect, and I also want to join the Phantom Sword Sect."

One of the disciples frowned, shook his head, and said, "Recently, our Illusory Sword Sect has had a lot of affairs, and we don't plan to recruit disciples for the time being, so you might as well come back after a while." ”

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Two senior brothers, I'm from Qingfeng City, far away. ”

"Qingfeng City?" The two Illusory Sword Sect disciples instantly frowned:

"Qingfeng City is the closest to the Optimus Sect, why don't you try to join the Optimus Sect, but come so far to our Phantom Sword Sect?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, "Of course, the reputation of the Optimus Sect is also very great, but I have a relative who was captured by the Optimus Sect, and his life and death are still uncertain, so I hate the Optimus Sect." ”

The expressions of the two Phantom Sword Sect disciples looked a little better, and they nodded:

"Recently, our Phantom Sword Sect has indeed been preparing for some things, and the recruitment of disciples and other affairs have been stopped."

"But we can help you ask, you just wait here, and within a day, we'll get back to you."

Xiao Zhan smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, two senior brothers." ”

The two Illusory Sword Sect disciples nodded, then turned around and left quickly.

Xiao Zhan found a stone, sat down cross-legged, and then began to vomit luck.

After most of the day, the two disciples reappeared.

Xiao Zhan got up and clenched his fists, and asked with a smile, "Two senior brothers, how is it?" ”

One of them laughed:

"Although our Phantom Sword Sect does not recruit disciples now, Elder Zhao is also very sympathetic to you when he heard that you have relatives who have been arrested by the people of the Optimus Sect."

"Senior brother, come with us, we will take you directly to Elder Zhao, if you pass his assessment, you can join our Phantom Sword Sect."

Xiao Zhan thanked him, and followed the two towards the Phantom Sword Sect.

In a short time, the three of them came to the foot of a huge volcano.

Only then did Xiao Zhan see that on this huge volcanic peak, palaces and houses were built with volcanic rocks, which looked extremely magnificent.

There is also a black and hard volcanic rock underfoot, and you can even feel the temperature emanating from the mountain.

"Senior brother, we don't know your name yet."

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and smiled:

"There is no name in Xia Xiao."

The two Illusory Sword Sect disciples also smiled and nodded, and each introduced it.

One of them is called Kong Wu and the other is Huang Che, and they have been joining the Phantom Sword Sect for five years.

Not long after, Xiao Zhan was taken by the two of them to the halfway up the mountain, in front of a dark palace.

The two of them walked into the palace with Xiao Zhan, and saw an old man in a white robe with a white beard, looking at the roster piled up like a hill in front of him.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and shouted, "Elder Zhao." ”

Elder Zhao glanced up at Xiao Zhan, then withdrew his gaze and said slowly:

"I shouldn't have recruited disciples right now, but for the sake of your sincerity, I can give you a chance."

"In special times, there is no need to participate in complex assessments."

"I'll give you a task, if you complete it, I'll let you join our Phantom Sword Sect."

Xiao Zhan nodded, "Elder Zhao, please speak." ”

Elder Zhao picked up a list of disciples, and threw it to Xiao Zhan with a movement of his wrist:

"The disciples on the list are all in the Danhu Realm, and the least number of people who have joined our Phantom Sword Sect has been for ten years."

"Go to their dwellings, and tell them to assemble here at noon to-morrow, and I will give them anything I have."

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, not quite understanding, what kind of task this is.

However, Xiao Zhan still nodded, thanked him, and then withdrew from the palace.

Kong Wu and Huang Che glanced at the list in Xiao Zhan's hand, and their faces suddenly looked a little unpleasant.

"Senior Brother Xiao Wuming, the senior brothers above are all in the Danhu Realm, and they are basically in retreat, you have to wake them up, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao, the ones on this roster are all among the top geniuses in our Phantom Sword Sect."

"If you wake them up in retreat, they might be angry and they will do something to you."

Xiao Zhan was stunned, "Why don't you ask the two senior brothers to accompany me?" ”

Kong Wu and Sun Ce's bodies trembled, and they hurriedly waved their hands and said:

"Senior Brother Xiao, you can do what you can."

"If you can't do anything, then you just give up and wait for a while to join the Phantom Sword Sect, it's not too late."

After speaking, Kong Wu and Sun Ce ran away as if they were running away.

Xiao Zhan was still wearing his own clothes at this time, which was in stark contrast to the disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect who were passing by, attracting a lot of attention.

A female disciple happened to be passing by, frowned slightly, and said:

"This junior brother, where is your disciple's suit?"

"If you don't wear a disciple's uniform in the sect, you will be deducted points."

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'm not a disciple of the Phantom Sword Sect yet, Elder Zhao said, let me wake up all the people on the roster from the retreat, and then I will be able to join the Phantom Sword Sect." ”

The female disciple was full of surprise, took the roster in Xiao Zhan's hand, and laughed at a glance:

"Senior brother, you better go back honestly, and come back to our Phantom Sword Sect after a while."

"These senior brothers on the roster are not very good-tempered."

As she spoke, the female disciple pointed in a direction:

"That's where the core disciples live, and there are names in front of each courtyard, so if you want to try it, go ahead."

Xiao Zhan bowed down and thanked him, and then walked quickly towards a higher place.

After more than half an hour, Xiao Zhan walked to a relatively flat place.

Xiao Zhan looked for a while, and only then did he see a sign at the gate of a courtyard with the name "Jiang Jun" written on it.

Xiao Zhan tried to shout:

"Senior Brother Jiang, Elder Zhao asked you to gather with him at noon tomorrow."

"Senior Brother Jiang?"

Thinking that the other party was in retreat, Xiao Zhan waited for more than an hour and shouted again:

"Senior Brother Jiang? Elder Zhao ......"

"Get out! Beep again, I'll tear your bones apart! An impatient roar came from the room, and at the same time, it was wrapped in a powerful coercion, which made Xiao Zhan frown.

"Senior Brother Jiang, Elder Zhao asked you to gather with him at noon tomorrow."

"I've already brought the news, so I'll take my leave."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.

And there was no sound in the room, obviously this Jiang Jun was not angry with Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan searched for a while and came to a courtyard again.

The owner of this courtyard is called Chen Xue, and she is a senior sister.

Xiao Zhan also shouted softly:

"Senior Sister Chen Xue, Elder Zhao asked you to ......"

"Noise!" A crisp shout came from the house, "Don't you see the sign at the entrance of the courtyard that says 'Retreating'?" ”

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Chen Xue, there is a reason for this, Elder Zhao asked you to gather with him at noon tomorrow."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, a red figure suddenly rushed into the courtyard, "Stop! ”

Xiao Zhan paused and looked at the woman in red.

She had short hair that had just hung down to her shoulders, and she exuded a strong aura on her body, and asked coldly:

"Did Elder Zhao say something was going on?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I didn't say it." ”

Chen Xue let out a soft 'um' sound, glanced at Xiao Zhan, and said:

"In the past, there were temporary tasks, and we disciples who were in retreat would not be arranged, but what happened this time?"

"Who else did Elder Zhao ask you to notify?"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, but slowly walked in front of Chen Xue and handed the roster in his hand to Chen Xue.

Chen Xue opened it and glanced at it, then frowned.

Because the people on the roster are all core disciples, each of them is in the Danhu Realm, and some are even brothers and sisters who are much more powerful than her Chen Xue.

"Looks like something is serious."

Chen Xue threw the booklet to Xiao Zhan, and in a flash, her figure rushed towards the main hall where Elder Zhao was.

Xiao Zhan nodded, it seems that this Chen Xue still has a clear priority.

After searching in this area for a while, Xiao Zhan was stunned and couldn't find anyone else's residence.

After inquiring with a young man, he found out that not all core disciples lived here.

Seeing that the sky was darkening, Xiao Zhan came to a street located on the back of the Phantom Sword Sect after many inquiries.

There are many disciples of the Illusory Sword Sect who live here, and the streets are formed, and many people will trade the fierce beasts, genius earth treasures, or other things they get.

Xiao Zhan walked into a restaurant, looked around, and then found two men drinking in a corner.

Both men were in their thirties, smiling and talking about something while drinking.

One of them was stout and dark-skinned, while the other was as white as jade and had a partial demeanor.

Xiao Zhan slowly walked to their side, hugged his fists and said:

"Senior Brother Yan Xu, Senior Brother Hu Ge."

The two turned their heads to look at Xiao Zhan at the same time.

Yan Xu, who was angry with a bookish face, nodded with a smile and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the junior brother?" ”

Xiao Zhan nodded and said truthfully: "Elder Zhao asked the two of you to go to him at noon tomorrow, there are important tasks to arrange. ”

The dark-skinned Hu Ge frowned:

"Important task, how important, is it important to have us drinking?"

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly.

"Just kidding," Hu Ge laughed, and Yan Xu got up and said, "Okay, we know." ”

Xiao Zhan nodded, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's back, Hu Ge raised his eyebrows and asked Yan Xu:

"Do you feel it?"

Yan Xu nodded, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "This junior brother only has the realm of the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, but looking at our eyes, there is no superfluous emotion. ”

"And I sensed a sense of danger in him."

Hu Ge smiled and nodded, "It seems that our Phantom Sword Sect is going to produce another genius again." ”

With that, the two walked side by side towards the main hall where Elder Zhao was.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Xiao Zhan's brows couldn't help but furrow.

It is now noon tomorrow, and there are not many hours left.

But most of the people on the roster have not been notified.

That's not going to work!

If he couldn't pass Elder Zhao's assessment, then he wouldn't have a chance to stay in the Phantom Sword Sect, let alone get close to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Phantom Sword Sect, how could he get back the remains of that Wasteland Domain Lord?

Putting away his thoughts, Xiao Zhan began to think.

As it is now, it is obviously too late to notify one by one.

Because I don't even know where they are.

For now, I can only think of a way to let them take the initiative to show up.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan came to the largest restaurant on the street again.

Xiao Zhan walked to the side of a group of young people who were raising their glasses and drinking, then took out a True Yuan Stone exchange coupon and put it on the table, hugged his fists and said:

"I've paid for your drinks."

The eight people at this table all looked at Xiao Zhan, their eyes full of doubts.

One of them was curious: "This junior disciple is very angry, why did he invite us to drink for no reason?" ”

Xiao Zhan sat down cross-legged and said in a deep voice, "I am a disciple who only joined the Illusory Sword Sect today, and it is normal that you senior brothers don't know me. ”

"I just feel bored in my heart, and I want to find a few senior brothers to drink."

Everyone glanced at the True Yuan Stone Exchange Coupon on the table, good guy, the denomination was actually one thousand True Yuan Stone.

You must know that their meal of wine can cost dozens of True Yuan Stones even if it breaks the sky.

This wealthy appearance is obviously a wealthy family.

Thinking of this, a senior brother took a wine bowl, filled it for Xiao Zhan, and asked casually:

"What are you bored with?"

Xiao Zhan told Elder Zhao about the assessment he had given him.

After listening, the eight people were stunned.

"So, you're not a disciple of our Phantom Sword Sect now?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's why I'm bored." ”

"Do you guys have any good ways to help me?"
