Chapter 70: A Wave of Unsettled
The next day, Yin Chengfeng and the rest of the people were on the road almost frantically all day, and the failure of this mission obviously made him very unhappy, and he drove the spirit weapon quickly in front of him, and turned his head from time to time, shouting at Gao Yun who was left behind.
In the evening, after hurrying all the way, they finally arrived at Kaiyang City.
Gao Yun didn't have an ethereal spirit weapon, and his cultivation was the weakest, so he always pulled at the back of the team, and when he stepped into the city gate, Yin Chengfeng and they couldn't even see the figure for a long time.
Walking on the street, he suddenly found that what should have been a bustling avenue was now only a few people.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that the doors of some of the surrounding houses were pasted with slender strips of white cloth, showing a solemn atmosphere.
"There have been a lot of funerals lately!"
Gao Yun noticed that among the nearly fifty households in a row, there were more than ten households with white cloth strips pasted on the doors to indicate the funeral.
However, Gao Yun didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the lifespan of ordinary human beings was only a few decades, and cultivators like them with spiritual veins had a lifespan of at least three hundred years, and if they cultivated to the star level, they could reach eight hundred years.
Many people cultivate hard, and in addition to getting ahead, there is another important reason, which is the pursuit of immortality!
Because his aura was almost exhausted and his muscles were sore, Gao Yun returned home and took a hurried shower, then fell on the bed, and soon snoring sounded in the room. Gao Yun usually doesn't snore when he sleeps, but at this time, his voice is like thunder, which shows how hard he has been this day.
But in the dream, he didn't stop. Maybe it's because Zhou Tian and their reminders are always lingering in his mind, and when he sleeps, he also has strange dreams one after another, so although the sleep time is not short, he still feels very tired when he wakes up in the morning.
Early the next morning, Gao Yun was called to the Discipline Academy.
It turned out that Yin Chengfeng organized the other disciples who participated in the mission to unify their voices and lied to the Discipline Institute that the mission failed because Gao Yun did not obey the command.
Just when Gao Yun was about to defend himself, Zhou Tianhe, the master of Yuheng Palace, led Zhou Ting and others to suddenly appear in the courtyard hall to help Gao Yun set things right and clarify the facts.
"Why are you back again?" Gao Yun looked at Zhou Weiqing and said strangely.
"What happened yesterday was too weird, my brother was worried that something would happen to you, so he pestered his father to sneak up on Kaiyang Palace, and it was exactly as he expected. Thinking of the group of guys who framed Gao Yun, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but be a little angry.
"It's okay, Zhou Weiqing, I'm used to it. Gao Yun smiled indifferently.
Zhou Tianhe looked at Gao Yun with appreciative eyes, and secretly thought: Although he has gone through hardships, maybe it is precisely because of this that he can achieve great things.
"Gao Yun, this time we really have to go, be careful, there will be a period later. ”
After reluctantly saying goodbye to a few people in Yuheng Palace, Gao Yun rushed towards Chen Yuan.
"Senior Brother Chen, it's morning!" Gao Yun greeted Chen Da who was cleaning the square.
"Hmm. Chen Daman responded, sounding like Gao Yun, weakly.
"Senior Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" Gao Yun couldn't help but wonder. In his mind, Senior Brother Chen has always been full of energy, how could he become so depressed?
"Alas, our institute was eliminated in the first round of the team competition......"
Knocked out!
When Gao Yun heard this, his eyes immediately widened!
"Isn't that ......" Gao Yun suddenly felt that his breathing became heavier, although he knew very well the strength of Chen Yuan, but when the news really surfaced, he was still a little shocked.
Chen Da swept the ground and sighed: "Master went to the academy hall early this morning, hoping that there will be some turnaround, although it doesn't seem that the hope is very big, after all, there are rules for promotion and relegation there." ”
The first time he went out to do a mission, he failed, and as soon as he came back and heard the news that the cultivation academy he belonged to was about to be demoted, Gao Yun suddenly hung his head and became depressed, today is really a very bad day!
Gao Yun sighed softly and walked towards the Cultivation Spirit Tower.
There are eight cultivation rooms on the fourth floor, and in normal times, this place must be full, and many disciples, even if they reach the fourth or even fifth level, have to cultivate on the third floor because they can't grab the cultivation room.
However, now except for Gao Yun, there are only three other people who are cultivating.
"Alas, it seems that it is really about to be demoted, and there are not even a few people in the cultivation spirit tower. ”
Gao Yun muttered softly to himself, chose a cultivation room on the side and sat in.
All morning, he was quietly exhaling his aura in a cultivation room on the fourth floor, although he had reached the late stage of the fourth layer, he had never had the feeling that he was about to break through, which made Gao Yun feel a little anxious, but he was helpless.
Just when Gao Yun was about to change to an empty place to practice the sword technique, suddenly a small fluorescent screen appeared in front of Gao Yun's eyes in the cultivation room, which read:
"Disciples gather in the square quickly, there is something important to convey!"
Gao Yun stood in the crowd, looking at Master Chen, who was standing on the steps with a stern expression, like the other disciples, waiting for him to announce the final decision of the Academy.
"Disciples, I would like to announce good news to you. Our cultivation academy did not perform well in this team competition, and was originally going to be demoted to a junior cultivation academy, but since several academies will be relegated according to the rules this time, in order to maintain stability and prevent turmoil, the academy hall decided to hold a play-off tournament, which will be competed by nine teams, including our Chen Academy, and the final winner will be able to continue to maintain the qualification of the low-level cultivation academy, and the other academies that fail will all be demoted to the first level. ”
Hearing what Master Chen said, Gao Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I didn't expect the competition in the low-level cultivation academy to be so fierce, and so many teams were on the verge of relegation in this academy competition alone!
However, Gao Yun did not participate in the competition in the courtyard, so he did not know about the situation of the low-level cultivation academy of Kaiyang Palace. In fact, due to the large number of disciples between the third and sixth levels of the Chen Rank, there were more than three hundred low-level cultivation academies in the Kaiyang Palace. With such a large base, it is not surprising that nine academies are on the verge of relegation in one competition.
"This competition is scheduled to be held after March, and each hospital still sends five team members to participate. However, the rules of this team competition are a bit complicated, and the players need to have a certain run-in time, so the determination time of the team list is set for today's unitary time, and the top five people in the ring in the courtyard at this point in time shall prevail. If any of you want to participate in the competition, please hurry up and adjust. ”
After speaking, Master Chen waved his hand and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Since his back was facing away from the group of disciples, no one saw Master Chen's gloomy expression.
"Hmph, don't be trustworthy!
Back in the room, the door was closed, Chen Shi sat on the chair, slapped his palm on the back of the chair, and the rattan with the thickness of one palm was immediately slapped and broken, scattered all over the ground.
He went to the hall to attend the meeting, but he just read out the rules for the next round of competition, which was actually over a long time ago. Next, Master Chen went straight to the main hall and met Gao Feng, the acting palace master.
"Palace Master, what I said last time was good...... Master Chen looked at Gao Feng who was sitting on it with a smile on his face, and asked softly. Because the expression of the face is too exaggerated, dense folds and lines appear, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Gao Feng was looking at the large pile of texts on the table to himself, as if he hadn't heard Master Chen's words at all.
"Palace Master......" Seeing that the Palace Master did not react, Master Chen had to bow down and whisper again.
Before he could continue, Gao Feng frowned and interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'm not in a good mood now, you go to the Academy Hall to get two third-order spirit recipes, and this matter will not be mentioned again!"
He personally went out, but he still failed to dispose of Gao Yun, but almost leaked the secret of the corpse, and when he thought of this, Gao Feng was furious.
And when Master Chen didn't come, he actually came to ask for rewards at this time, so he naturally became Gao Feng's target of venting.
Master Chen's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
If he didn't have that Tribulation Pill, he would have almost no chance to step into the Star Rank on his own, and this time Chen Yuan was on the verge of relegation, which was really a bit worse.
"Palace Master, this Dan is very important to the contemptible people, and I hope to ......" Master Chen reluctantly mustered up his courage and wanted to make another effort.
"Stand down!" Gao Feng Huo Ran stood up, threw a stack of thick thick texts straight in front of Master Chen, "If you dare to say one more word, I will remove you Chen Academy from the cultivation academy!"
Gao Feng's cold eyes frightened Master Chen's heart.
Chen Shi lowered his head and hurriedly retreated, almost tripping over the threshold due to being too flustered. Although he didn't know why Gao Feng was so angry, he knew that his expectations of advancing to the star level had completely come to naught.
To say that his heart is not angry or angry at this time, it is false, but he does not dare to make a move against Gao Feng, whether it is because of his status as the acting palace master, or his terrifying strength, besides, in the seemingly calm environment around the main hall, there are many hidden masters lurking in the meantime, and the slightest change is a disaster of death.
Chen Shi recalled this paragraph, his fists clenched tightly, and his face became extremely calm: "Gao Feng, you wait for me, one day I will make you pay!"
