"Please, come over here—"

The white-clothed maid led Ye Bai through a tree-lined path, through a dense purple maple forest, and finally to a tall, magnificent, castle-like stone house.

"Astounding Sword Qi Hall!" A huge black wood plaque, hanging on it, five golden, dragon snakes running, like a sword-like font, appeared on the huge black wood plaque.

The four black-clothed men holding swords stood on both sides, motionless, like four wood carvings, but the faintly revealing powerful aura on their bodies couldn't help but make people feel frightened.

These four people are at least the strength of low-level Xuanshi!

Ye Bai was secretly shocked in his heart, he was worthy of being the inner sect of the family, and even the gatekeepers were all four beginner-level Xuanshi, so who were the people in this?

As if seeing his doubts, the white-clothed maid smiled and introduced: "This is the Sky Astonishing Sword Qi Hall, which is used once a year to receive you trial disciples who have been promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect, and all the outer sect disciples who have just entered the inner sect must swear loyalty here, so it is also called the Oath Hall." ”

Ye Bai said "oh", and then didn't say anything, the white-clothed maid saw this, so she took him towards the top of the stone steps, and when she walked to the door, the four black-clothed guards raised their hands and wanted to stop them, but at this time, the white-clothed maid turned her palm, a piece of gold, and a sword was embroidered in the middle, and the hilt of the sword was a strange token of a maple leaf.

The white-clothed maid stretched out her hand and saluted, letting Ye Bai walk in front, she followed behind and slowly stepped into the dark gate.

I saw that this hall was nearly a thousand meters wide, brightly lit, on the left and right sides, there was a row of red sandalwood tables, and behind the tables sat more than a dozen white-bearded, white-haired old men, all of whom were important figures of the Ye family.

In the middle of the venue, five people sat there side by side, it was Ye Po, Ye Bufan, Ye Huan, Ye Qianmei, Ye Penglai five people, I didn't expect them to arrive earlier than themselves, Ye Bai smiled, and under the prompting of the white-clothed maid, walked over and sat next to Ye Penglai, that was the first place!

The five people glanced at him, and no one spoke, but the resentment in Ye Po's eyes flashed, but it was keenly captured by Ye Bai, in fact, he understood the other party's thoughts, and he refused his invitation in public, and then, in the trial competition, he snatched the second place, resulting in the aura circle that should have been he got, but in the end it fell into his own hands, he was in fourth place, nothing, and naturally he was unhappy, but it was naturally impossible for Ye Bai to let go of such things as the aura array, so he only smiled slightly when he saw it, at this time, after Luo Longhe's battle, he was already convinced of his strength, is not inferior to any of the disciples of the outer sect, therefore, no matter how far he is against Ye Po, there is no previous hesitation, if he dares to find trouble, just a sword, this is not an outer sect, here, the identity and status of several people are the same, and they can't make any waves.

After seeing that all six of them had arrived, a white-haired elder stood up, coughed, and said: "The annual trial competition has ended again, this time, six disciples of our outer sect unexpectedly appeared together and successfully advanced to the inner sect, which is rare for decades, here, we all congratulate them on officially joining the Ye family's inner sect and becoming one of the Ye sect's disciples!"

After the elder finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the disciples around him applauded together, and even on the elder's seat, many elders also applauded, among them, the Chuangong, the deacon, and the four Dharma Protector elders on the left and right were the most energetic, and when they saw Ye Bai and the others looking at them, they nodded at them imperceptibly.

After the applause rang out for a long time, the white-haired elder pressed his hands before they all stopped, and the white-haired elder continued, "And-"

His voice was slightly raised, and he said with a hint of excitement: "This time, our Ye family has pressed the Luo family again and become the winner of this trial, beating them for five consecutive years, and this trial is nearly half more than the Luo family's success rate in promotion, which is something worthy of our celebrity." ”

Countless earnest whispers sounded below, and everyone was talking, full of spring breeze, obviously the victory of the Ye family's trial disciples was also their victory.

Seeing all this, the white-haired elder did not stop it, but continued: "Moreover, in terms of the number of tokens and the number of points this time, we are far superior to the Luo family, this is a fortunate thing, everyone applauds the six heroes again!"

Applause rang out again, and it was more enthusiastic and lasted longer than the last.

"But!" After the applause, the white-haired elder couldn't help but say in a changed tone: "We should also recognize our failure, the first place in this trial fell into the hands of a little-known kid from the Luo family, although the opponent used some means, but we still lost, this is worthy of our vigilance!"

As soon as the white-haired elder finished speaking, everyone in the audience couldn't help but become frustrated, obviously feeling a little unhappy that the first place appeared in the Luo family, "But!" The words changed again, and the white-haired elder continued: "The second and third places are all in our Ye family, and the top three occupy as many as two seats, and we are still considered the winners!"

There was another cheer from below, and seeing this, the white-haired elder nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand again to stop their cheers, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "But—"

Everyone was speechless for a while, Ye Bai and the others in the audience couldn't help but look at each other, crying and laughing one by one, this elder always seems to like to let people ride roller coasters, up and down for a while, and when the interest of people is raised, they will suppress people again, and this time I don't know what bad news will break out again.

Sure enough,

Good spirit, not bad spirit, the white-haired elder's face sank, and his voice was a little low: "Although we have obtained excellent results this time, but in the same way, our opponents, the Shantai family and the Shangguan family, have also obtained far more than ordinary results!"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion, but the white-haired elder didn't care about it at all, and continued to throw bombs: "And-most importantly-"

Speaking of this, he paused, watching everyone focus their eyes on him, and then he said in an extremely solemn tone: "This time, there is a rare genius who is rare to see in a thousand years in the Tangtai family-Tangtai Ziyue. At the age of his teens, he had cultivated to the peak of the ninth layer of Xuan Qi for an unprecedented time, and in this trial competition, he even shone brightly, winning more than half of the sword light tokens and obtaining the highest score of nearly eight thousand points!"

"Boom!", when it landed, the entire Ye family hall was completely in chaos, this news shocked many people to sit unsteadily, and the noise was loud, even Ye Bai and the others were all startled, looked at each other in disbelief, and fell into a stupor.

"Eight thousand points! How is this possible? That's almost this time, the Ye and Luo families, the top three in the trial, the sum of all the points, can be worthy of one of the other party's people, and what's more, the other party is still a woman! It's just a young girl who is less than twenty years old!"

This made Ye Bai and the others unacceptable for a while, and before that, there was still a little bit of pride, which disappeared in an instant, and they lowered their heads one by one, with a look of frustration.

is also a young person, and everyone's age is not much different, but why is the difference in strength so big?

Everyone asked the sky speechlessly, thinking silently.
