Chapter 45: The Family Trial, Part I
When Ye Bai returned to Huoyun City, he found that there were a lot more people on the street today, especially these extra people, all of whom were extremely young, dressed uniformly, wearing family logos on their chests, and walking on the street in groups from time to time.
Among these people, the four major families are the most conspicuous, dressed in white, with a blue maple leaf on the chest, it is the Ye family, dressed in purple, with a circular flame pattern on the chest, it is the Shantai family, dressed in black, with a big red strange flower on the sleeve, covering half of the sleeve, it is the Luo family, dressed in green clothes, and the three points above the sleeves, tattooed with three sword-shaped logos, are the Shangguan family.
These disciples are usually rare to see, but the trials of the four great families are about to be held, and these disciples of the families who are usually either looking for a place to cultivate, or hiding in their own clan, and have been in retreat all year round, have rushed back from outside because of the trial of this family, or woke up from the retreat and cultivation, so for a while, the street steps were lively, since five days ago, but at that time, Ye Bai was not in Huoyun City, and was still practicing sword steps in the mountains outside the city.
These family disciples are usually rare to see, many people are arrogant, the four great families are not pleasing to each other, and there are many disputes when they land, the Ye family, the Luo family, the Shantai family, and the Shangguan family are all involved, but Ye Bai just watched coldly, did not participate, mixed in the crowd, let them make trouble, anyway, there is no big turmoil at this time, everything depends on tomorrow.
Around Huoyun City, the second-order forbidden land Huoyun Ridge, and the second-order forbidden land Hanbing River are exactly the places suitable for the disciples of the family Xuanzhi to practice, the Ye family and the Luo family are relatively close, forming an alliance of general nature, so they occupy the cold ice river, while the Shantai family and the Shangguan family are relatively close, and the two families occupy Huoyun Ridge, it is said that every year's trial is the four families together, separated from each other, and compete with each other, whose disciples are brilliant, it is equivalent to fighting for the family, even if it is in the Ye and Luo families, which are also allies, it is the same, no one wants to be pressed down by anyone。
Ye Bai just went to the outer sect for a turn, and then left, at this time, the outer sect was boiling, there were white-clothed disciples everywhere, there was really nothing to see, anyway, everything had to wait until tomorrow, so Ye Bai returned to the city, and casually found an inn to rest, closed his eyes and recuperated his qi, so as to adjust his spirit and strength to the peak state.
One night's time, quickly passed, early the next morning, Ye Bai tidied up his clothes, and came to the Ye Family Outer Sect again, on the Lianwu Square, there were already more than 100 white-clothed Outer Sect disciples, neatly arranged, Ye Po, Ye Bufan, Ye Fan, Ye Qianmei, Ye Penglai, etc., who were not seen in March, were among them, standing in front, as if the center of the entire crowd, indeed they were also the most dazzling existence, attracting the attention of the audience.
There are still many disciples of the outer sect watching around, but they can't enter it, because they are not qualified, only those who have entered the Xuanwu Pavilion are qualified to participate in the family trial, otherwise it will be in vain to go, and it will be embarrassing for themselves, and it is impossible to pass.
Ye Bai stood at the back, he didn't have the idea of being in the limelight, and others didn't pay attention to it, only Ye Penglai and the others seemed to be aware, and glanced back, but they didn't say anything, so they turned their heads back again.
At fifteen o'clock in the morning, with the sound of a bell, two elders with one black and one white turned out from the backstage, and this time the leader was no longer the deacon of the last exercise ceremony, the second elder of the Gong Gong, but the left and right elders of the Xuanqi Hall, Ye Yuanyu and Ye Jiuchen.
The four halls of the Ye family, the Xuanqi Hall is the only external combat organization, the hall master Ye Kaishan, a senior Xuanshi, is said to have reached the level of a top Xuanshi, among the eleven eleven elders, the strength is only under the Taishang Elder Ye Shenguang, and the two great Dharma Protector Elders on the left and right are all senior Xuanshi, the second and third people in the Xuanqi Hall, and their strength is unfathomable.
Walking to the front of the stage, he stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly, and all the noise below suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look at the two elders, waiting for orders.
Elder Ye Yuanyu, the left protector, swept his eyes over the audience like an eagle falcon, all the disciples of the outer sect did not dare to look at him, and lowered their heads one by one, only a few people such as Ye Penglai and Ye Po could still keep their eyes calm and unmoved, Ye Yuanyu nodded secretly, and finally said slowly: " This time, I will gather everyone, I think you all know what to do today, you are all the pride of my Ye family, you are the Ye family's outer sect, second to none talents, this time, the disciples of the outer sect who participated in the family trial, a total of one hundred and thirty-one people, among them, one person from the ninth layer of Xuanqi, four people from the eighth layer of Xuanqi, fifteen people from the seventh layer of Xuanqi, and the rest are ordinary disciples above the sixth layer of Xuanqi, what I can tell you is that this trial, it will be by our Ye family, together with the ally Luo family, to enter the cold ice river together, although they are allies, in fact, competition, anything can happen in it, there has always been no shortage of disciples who died in the trial, so now some people are afraid and want to quit, but it is still too late!”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone knew that the trial could also be life-threatening, and a group of ordinary disciples with lower strength began to gasp a little, and the black-clothed elder Ye Yuanyu snorted coldly: " There are not many opportunities, only this time, if your strength is too low, it is better not to give your life in vain, I will give you a moment of time, and those who do not quit will have no chance again, if anyone tries to escape in vain during the trial, it will damage the reputation of my Ye family, and it will be directly killed, and after death, you will be removed from the Ye family tree, so you must think for yourself!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Yuanyu took a step back, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the other great elder, Ye Jiuchen, the right protector elder, also had stars in his eyes, silently watching everyone, without saying a word, like a wooden statue, but his eyes opened and closed, and his divine light was amazing.
Finally, the crowd was completely in a commotion, the Ye family disciples present hesitated for a long time, and walked out alone, and then the second person, the third person, someone took the lead, and more and more people finally walked out of the team, and returned to the crowd with a disgraced face, not daring to see people.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Yuanyu's eyes opened, and he glanced down, and there were less than thirty percent of people left on the entire stage, and he snorted coldly: "Ask again, is there anything you want to quit?"
Hearing Ye Yuanyu's voice, the three white-clothed disciples standing in the back row of the audience trembled, looked at everyone in the audience hesitantly, and suddenly gritted their teeth and walked out, attracting a laugh from the audience.
Ye Yuanyu looked at it coldly, and when he saw that no one moved, he snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, don't laugh at others, quit at this time, there is still a life, the strength is not enough to be reckless, this is an idiot, but now you can't quit even if you want to, re-queue!"
He shouted, because he withdrew from two-thirds of the crowd, the field became sparse, more than forty people gathered together again and lined up, and those who dared to stay in the field at this time were all masters above the peak of the sixth layer of Xuanqi, and only they had the opportunity to win in the family trial and strive for the opportunity to enter the inner sect.
The remaining disciples of the Ye Family's Outer Sect have a total of forty-one people.
