Chapter 45: The Five Peaks Sword Society
When Jiang Chen and his entourage arrived at Tiandu Peak, the highest peak of this inner mountain was already crowded.
Soon, Jiang Chen found the location of Tai'a Feng's team.
Wei Taixian stood in front of the team with a grim face, and the two elders of the Sword Washing Sect were counting the number of people, and one of them held a jade scroll and shouted, "Jiang Chen has not arrived, and the qualification for the competition will be revoked." ”
"Wait!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly sped up and rushed over.
The two elders who had counted the number of people immediately frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Who are you, and do you have any rules?" the elder with the jade book in his hand scolded.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm Jiang Chen. Because some things have been delayed, I also asked the two elders to open up. Jiang Chen bowed and said.
"Are you Jiang Chen?" The elder raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced Jiang Chen up and down, and said, "It's actually already a foundation building and cultivation, and it's not bad among the newcomers in this class." ”
"It's a pity it's late. Disqualification from this competition!" another elder spoke.
At the same time that Jiang Chen shouted "and slow", Wei Taixian and the others also noticed Jiang Chen, and there were still people who would be late for the Wufeng Sword Meeting, which was simply unbearable.
"Hmph, what are you doing since you're late?" Wei Taixian snorted coldly.
"Haha, Lord Wei Feng, I'm really sorry, Jiang Chen was late because of me. At this time, Bi Tianxue walked up.
"Elder Bi, you just reported the name of this kid that day?" Guang Fujun, the internal affairs elder in charge of Tai'a Feng's internal affairs, didn't speak at first, but after seeing Bi Tianxue, he walked over and patted Bi Tianxue's shoulder, it seems that the two are very familiar.
"That's right, I had some things to discuss with Jiang Chen at that time. So I signed up for him to send a message to the flying sword. The reason why Jiang Chen was late this time was also because of me, and I hope that the elders can look at my face and be accommodating. Bi Tianxue smiled and bowed to several elders.
The other disciples of Tai Ah Feng all looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise, Jiang Chen killed He Tianyang in the inner gate assessment, which can be described as a blockbuster, so they naturally had a deep impression of Jiang Chen, but what also impressed them was Jiang Chen's talent.
Obviously, it is a dual-line miscellaneous spirit root, and his perception ability is inferior, such a talent is nothing at all, and it is definitely the bottom among the disciples who were promoted to the inner gate in the last batch.
But they had just heard one of the elders say that Jiang Chen had already laid the foundation.
How long has it been? Jiang Chen has already built the foundation!
You must know that none of the disciples who came to participate in the Five Peaks Sword Meeting this time were foundation building monks, and the two strongest ones were still practicing Qi Ninefold, which was also because the masters of these two disciples were relatively wealthy elders, and the resources given to them were far more than ordinary people.
But Jiang Chen, who didn't even have a master, actually succeeded in building the foundation.
"Now that Elder Bi has spoken, there is no problem...... Lord Wei Feng, what do you see?" the elder holding the jade book looked at Jiang Chen again.
Before Wei Taixian could speak, Bi Tianxue smiled and said: "Lord Wei Feng, what are you hesitating about, with Jiang Chen coming out, the sword head of the Wufeng Sword Meeting this time is not yet captured!"
"Sword head?" Wei Taixian sneered: "Don't embarrass me!"
Wei Taixian said this, and the meaning was already obvious.
Subsequently, the two elders on the rank roster added Jiang Chen's name to the jade roster.
"Thank you, Elder Bi. Jiang Chen thanked Bi Tianxue.
Bi Tianxue waved her hand and said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be late, so there's nothing to thank, okay, I'm going back to retreat now." I'm sure you'll definitely win the championship with this Five Peaks Sword. I'll come back to you when I have time in the future!"
Bi Tianxue's actions made Guang Fujun, Wei Taixian and others very puzzled, this Bi Tianxue is also known for his majesty, and even has the title of Living Yama King among the outer disciples, but why would he be so polite to Jiang Chen?
Guang Fujun couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen secretly, and found that although this son looked young, his expression was very calm, and he didn't have the same signs of impetuousness as other disciples before the big competition, as if he was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes.
Moreover, in Jiang Chen's body, there seemed to be a faint self-confidence that naturally emanated, and this kind of self-confidence was often experienced in the invincible monks who had experienced a hundred battles.
"Jiang Chen, make good use of this opportunity. As long as you get a good ranking, the rewards are very rich!" Guang Fujun walked up to Jiang Chen and said encouragingly.
Guang Fujun felt that this Jiang Chen should be a little extraordinary, he saw people quite accurately, coupled with Bi Tianxue's attitude towards Jiang Chen, so he felt that he could make friends with this Jiang Chen, and at least he should leave a better impression.
"Thank you Elder Light for the reminder. ”
Jiang Chen could naturally see that Guang Fujun wanted to befriend him, so he naturally wouldn't lose face, and Jiang Chen knew that because he killed He Tianyang, a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root, he really didn't have any popularity in the Sword Washing Sect now, and it was good to be able to slowly spread the network of relationships.
"By the way, Elder Guang, have you been in the late stage of the Xuan Liquid lately?" Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.
Guang Fujun, who didn't care much about it, was suddenly startled, and immediately looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment: "You...... How do you know?"
"This ...... Let's talk about it alone, but Elder Guang, you can't be too reluctant in everything, you should take it step by step. Jiang Chen said meaningfully.
At this time, Guang Fujun's heart set off even more turbulent waves, he was indeed attacking the seventh layer of Xuan Liquid some time ago, but he failed, and it also caused Yan Zòng's backlash damage, and even he felt that this kind of damage was getting heavier and heavier during this time, but he had no way to curb the expansion of this damage.
Guang Fujun didn't know how Jiang Chen knew about his cultivation, generally speaking, the progress of cultivation was only known to monks who knew him very well, and ordinary monks would not tell others about their cultivation progress lightly.
But Jiang Chen knew that he was in the late stage of the impact of the Xuan Liquid during this time, and Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally said that he should not be too reluctant, and should take it step by step, he must know that he had failed in the impact.
Guang Fujun forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, he also knew that this was definitely not the time for discussion, and he would only be able to ask Jiang Chen after the Five Peaks Sword Meeting.
"Let's join the team!" Wei Taixian glanced at Jiang Chen and motioned for him to enter the ranks of disciples participating in the competition.
Jiang Chen nodded, and glanced back at Jiang Qin and the others, this time Jiang Chen participated in the Wufeng Sword Meeting, Jiang Qin, Yong Ling'er and Ye Yu all came to cheer for him.
"Brother, you are the best!" Jiang Qin clenched a pair of fists and waved at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and walked into the team.
With Jiang Chen joining, the expressions of those disciples changed slightly, Jiang Chen successfully built the foundation, obviously leaving them behind, but their impression of Jiang Chen was not good, because Jiang Chen killed He Tianyang, everyone was deliberately alienating Jiang Chen, including the elders of the various peaks when teaching their disciples, they also reminded them not to have too much intersection with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't care about everyone's expression, he believed that as long as he showed enough strength, sooner or later everyone would change their opinion of him.
Soon after, all the disciples who participated in the competition began to enter the arena.
Not long after entering the arena, Jiang Chen saw several familiar figures, and one of them walked towards him.
This woman was Zhao Huanyan, and as soon as she saw Zhao Huanyan, Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
"Senior Brother Jiang!" Zhao Huanyan bowed slightly towards Jiang Chen, looking very gentle and submissive.
"Get out!" Jiang Chen didn't have any nonsense, and directly asked Zhao Huanyan to get out, Zhao Huanyan's trick could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive Jiang Chen, in Zhao Huanyan's body, Jiang Chen felt a trace of killing intent, although this trace of killing intent was well concealed by Zhao Huanyan.
Zhao Huanyan's face changed slightly, a trace of annoyance in the corners of her eyes dissipated in an instant, she bowed again, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, after so long, you still refuse to forgive me?"
"You don't need me to forgive anything, you are you, I am me, there is nothing between us. Jiang Chen said indifferently.
"Hmph, that's a big shelf!"
Soon, another person came over, and the person who came was He Hongxue, a disciple of the sect master Du Ruiqing, a pure fire spirit root.
Jiang Chen glanced at He Hongxue, He Hongxue was already on the second floor of the foundation, but it could be seen that He Hongxue's breath was still relatively vain, obviously the speed of promotion to the second level of foundation building was too fast, and the foundation had not yet stabilized.
"Jiang Chen, who do you really think you are? Senior Sister Zhao came to talk to you, it was to look up to you and give you face, do you really think you are a genius?" He Hongxue sneered.
Jiang Chen glanced at He Hongxue coldly and said, "Am I a genius, and what does it matter to you?"
What happened on Jiang Chen, He Hongxue, and Zhao Huanyan quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the competition and contradictions between the disciples usually became the focus.
At this time, the peak masters of each peak also gathered together and sat down on a high platform in front of the arena.
He Hongxue sneered, and said: "Of course it's none of my business! But if you are rude to Senior Sister Zhao, it's my business, Senior Sister Zhao came to greet you, what kind of man are you talking so coldly? I said a long time ago, let you wait at the Wufeng Sword Meeting, and today I will teach you how to behave!"
"Okay, I'll wait!" Jiang Chen waved his hand, although Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of this He Hongxue, he definitely had no malice, He Hongxue didn't have any scheming, and he had obviously fallen for Zhao Huanyan's flattery.
Jiang Chen also knew that the main reason why He Hongxue was so extreme to himself was because of his love and flattery, and Jiang Chen also knew that if he hadn't been able to see through Zhao Huanyan's tricks, he would definitely be the same as He Hongxue now, defending Zhao Huanyan everywhere.
He Hongxue was about to say something more, when a woman's voice came.
"Zhuo Man has seen Senior Brother Jiang!"
Zhuo Man was wearing a long cyan dress, with a graceful figure, perfect skin like condensation, and a voice like a jade bell, crisp and beautiful, as soon as she walked over, she attracted everyone's attention.
Although Zhao Huanyan is very beautiful, compared with Zhuo Man, she is a little inferior. Zhao Huanyan was very famous in the outer sect before, and the main reason was that she spread more among the outer disciples, while Zhuo Man was relatively quiet by nature and did not attract too much attention.
However, Zhuo Man was promoted to an inner disciple and tested as a Feng Linggen talent, which immediately attracted the attention of most people, and even many old disciples of the inner door knew Zhuo Man's reputation.
Seeing Zhuo Man saluting Jiang Chen quite respectfully, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen again, and even many old disciples began to inquire about the origin of this man who made Zhuo Man salute.
