Chapter 587: The Storm is Coming
As soon as Zhongshi Dao left, the elders of the Tianji Palace who came with him naturally couldn't stay, and they all got up to say goodbye and left, including Zuo Ci, who had a good relationship with Qin Yun.
When they were all gone, Qin Yun took back all the three-headed demon beasts, and the living room in the courtyard suddenly became much empty.
Among the high-level Sword Sect leaders present, only Nie Chen, Ye Mengwan and Qing Yunzi remained.
Nie Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Qin Yun: "Next month, the sect will conduct the selection of the thirty-six Heavenly Gangdi Demon and the head disciple in Fuyun Mountain, do you want to participate?"
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment.
There are tens of thousands of disciples under the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and the one with the highest status is the head disciple, followed by the twelve Tiangang disciples, the twenty-four earth demon disciples, the inner disciples and the outer disciples.
Disciples of different levels can enjoy different resources and help in the sect, and if any disciple wants to stand out after entering the sect, strength, talent, and luck are indispensable.
The five peaks are small, the sect is bigger, the clouds are on the sword, and the thirty-six heavens are fighting for the position... It is all so that truly outstanding disciples can emerge and then get the attention of the sect.
For outstanding disciples, the cultivation of the Heavenly City Sword Sect has always spared no effort!
And Nie Chen's words were undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Qin Yun, believing that he had the ability to participate in the competition of the highest level of sect disciples, and the meaning of encouragement was self-evident.
Qin Yun was strange, the thirty-six Heavenly Gangdi disciples were selected once every three years, and the head disciples were selected once every five years, how could they be held together at the same time next month?
There are only nine disciples in charge of the Heavenly City Sword Sect, all of whom are powerhouses in the Huagang realm, and they can be said to be highly regarded among the sects, and their common feature is that they are all above the age of thirty-five.
Regarding Qin Yun's doubts, Nie Chen explained: "You have been training in the Fire Dragon Cave, you may not understand the situation, recently the Northern Wu Clan is about to move, it is very likely that you will attack Great Yan before the beginning of winter or at the beginning of spring next year, our Heavenly City Sword Sect and Great Yan are cold, and it is incumbent on us to resist the Wu Clan!"
"So the head of the family decided to open the door this year. Recruiting more disciples to get started, and holding the thirty-six days of Gang Di Sha and the selection of the head disciples in advance, are all precautionary measures to deal with the challenge from the Wumen!"
War is about to break out!
Seeing Nie Chen's solemn expression, thinking of the sect's unusual actions, Qin Yun understood that the situation this time was definitely very serious. So there was a hint of worry in the eyes of this powerful man.
For thousands of years. The Wu tribe in the north always wants to invade Yanyun in the south, dividing the warm and rich Central Plains as their hunting grounds, and launching large-scale invasion wars every ten or decades.
The Manglong Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles, can stop the blizzards from the far north, but it can't stop the footsteps of the Wu warriors. Every outbreak of war has devastated Yan Yun's life, and the Heavenly City Sword Sect will also usher in a huge challenge.
Countless Sword Sect disciples died heroically in the battle to resist the invasion of the Wu Clan, and many elders and elders fell because of this!
Therefore, once the Heavenly City Sword Sect senses the signs of the outbreak of war, it will prepare in advance, and opening the mountain gate to recruit disciples is one of the strategies.
Qin Yun thought for a moment. said: "The disciple still doesn't participate, the disciple is ready to retreat again after a while to impact the realm, so that he can contribute to the sect in the future!"
Whether it is the head disciple or the thirty-six heavenly gangs, it is nothing more than for fame and fortune, when he first entered the Sword Sect, Qin Yun also hoped that one day he would be able to compete with these heavenly pride on the same stage.
But now his strength is far beyond the past, his horizons are even broader, and he also looks down on fame and fortune, and he has more important things to complete.
Nie Chen was not surprised. In his opinion, Qin Yun had already obtained the inheritance of the Sword God Luo Yi, and the position of the disciple of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangdi Demon was not normal.
He nodded and said, "It's okay, but there is something that requires you to contribute to the sect at present, I don't know if you are willing to complete it." ”
As the lord of a peak, a powerful person. Nie Chen didn't need to be polite to Qin Yun at all, and he couldn't disobey Qin Yun when he gave an order directly, and his tone of inquiry was completely to show closeness.
Of course, Qin Yun is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Please also ask the master to command." Disciples should do their best to serve the sect!"
Nie Chen said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, there is no danger in this task." In order to deal with the threat of the Wumen, the sect decided to send people to contact the five major side sects of Yanyun and all the left paths to form an alliance to fight against the strong enemy!"
The invasion of the Wu Clan is a major event for the entire Yanyun Prefecture, and under normal circumstances, the Heavenly City Sword Sect would issue the Yanyun Hero Order to unite the forces of various sects to form an alliance to defend Manglong Mountain against the attack of the Wu Sect.
Since the general trend of Kyushu has been determined, the Heavenly City Sword Sect has always been at the forefront of resisting the invasion of the Wu Clan, as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, once the Heavenly City Sword Sect is destroyed, the entire Yanyun sect will face a huge threat to the Wu Sect.
Therefore, the vast majority of the side sects will not oppose the alliance convened by the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and they are also willing to contribute their own strength to resist the Wu Clan.
"You have this Yanyun Hero Order and the handwritten letter from the head of the sect, and you will leave for the Beihu Sword Sect tomorrow morning!"
Nie Chen handed a dark golden metal token into Qin Yun's hand along with a letter, and said at the same time, "I have discussed with the Night Peak Lord, let you go to the mountain gate of the Beihu Sword Sect with her disciple Fang Ruobing!"
The Heavenly City Sword Sect issued the Yanyun Hero Order, and the messengers sent were all outstanding disciples in the sect, in addition to delivering news letters, they also had the intention of showing their strength to various sects.
Therefore, if it is a sect that is closely related to the Sword Sect, it is nothing, and an independent force like the Beihu Sword Sect will inevitably encounter some challenges, so the selection of disciples has become very important.
Nie Chen handed over this task to Qin Yun, undoubtedly because he valued Qin Yun, you must know that the Beihu Sword Sect is the strongest faction among the five side sects of Yan Yun, and it belongs to the Hidden World Sect.
At this time, Ye Mengwan chuckled and said: "Qin Yun, Ruobing, this child is good, you don't bully her, you can't let her down, you have to take good care of her on this mission!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly said, "Disciple understands!"
Don't look at this Biyue Peak Lord's beautiful appearance and amiable smile, her protective temperament is famous in the entire Sword Sect, Biyue Peak has gathered the most female disciples in the sect, if anyone dares to provoke her disciples, she will inevitably be retaliated against.
Who can resist the thunderous wrath of a supernatural powerhouse?
Qin Yun didn't dare, to put it mildly, he and Fang Ruobing hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was a disappointment to Mingxiu for life.
Therefore, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he didn't dare to look up at Ye Mengwan.
Fortunately, Ye Mengwan didn't catch Qin Yun and insisted on asking the teacher, she didn't speak just now, and now it seemed that she was just trying to say this to Qin Yun, and immediately got up and left after finishing speaking.
Nie Chen and Qing Yunzi continued to encourage Qin Yun a few words before letting him go down the mountain.
Qin Yun went down to Chasing Cloud Peak, and did not return to Hancui Valley, but went to the Tianji Palace in Xuanwu City.
Tianji Palace has always been the most lively place in the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and a large number of disciples come here every day to undertake the task of delivering the sect, or to exchange for the sect's secret elixir, or to hire a guide to martial arts.
Qin Yun noticed that compared to five months ago, there were more disciples who came to the Tianji Palace, many of them were very immature, and there were disciples around the age of fourteen or fifteen everywhere, who were undoubtedly newcomers who had just been recruited into the sect.
Most of them were in groups of three or five, talking and laughing loudly with excitement on their faces, and many of them were full of spirits, obviously proud to be able to worship under the Sword Sect.
I'm afraid that at this time, they don't know that they and others will soon usher in a cruel test.
With a hint of strange mood, Qin Yun came to the sect courtyard of Tianji Palace.
The sect courtyard was bustling with people, and there were a lot of disciples who came to hand over the task, and the sect was obviously prepared, and the number of stewards in charge of the sect's tasks was doubled.
"Senior Brother Qin Yun!"
Just as Qin Yun was looking left and right, about to find a small queue to line up, a voice with a sense of surprise suddenly came from the side.
Qin Yun turned his head and found that the person who greeted him was none other than Han Tian, a disciple of the True Inheritance of Tianfeng, and next to him stood the Cloud Fairy Li Fangmei, who looked at Qin Yun's beautiful eyes with a strange light.
Both of them were Qin Yun's acquaintances in the Sword Sect, and he immediately smiled and saluted and asked, "It turns out that Senior Brother Han and Senior Sister Li, how are the two of them lately?"
Han Tian smiled: "We are all very good, I heard that you have been training in the Fire Dragon Cave some time ago, so your strength must have improved a lot, right?"
Under normal circumstances, Qin Yun would use the Breath Gathering Technique to cover up his realm cultivation, and now that he has reached the realm of Huagang, it is difficult for even a supernatural powerhouse to see through it, let alone Han Tian.
"It's a small success, isn't it!" Qin Yun said modestly and asked, "Senior Brother Han must have accompanied Senior Sister Li to take over the sect's mission, right?"
There is a popular little joke in the Heavenly City Sword Sect, saying that if you want to find Senior Brother Han Tianhan, you only need to find Senior Sister Li Fangmei and Li first, because Senior Brother Han will inevitably appear next to Senior Sister Li.
Qin Yun's words were somewhat teasing, but Han Tian didn't care, shook his head and said, "No, I accompanied my senior sister here to exchange for some spiritual materials for refining pills." ”
Qin Yun's heart moved when he heard this, and his gaze turned to Li Fangmei: "I don't know what spiritual materials Senior Sister needs?"
Before Li Fangmei could answer, a snarky voice suddenly sounded, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present: "Yo! Isn't this Qin Yunqin's junior brother chasing Yunfeng, how did he have time to run to the Tianji Palace?"
Qin Yun's brows couldn't help frowning.
