Chapter 170: Surprise in the Council Chamber
It's been a while since he came to the inner gate, but Lin Xiu hasn't been to the council hall, a high-end place like that is too far away for a disciple who has just broken through to the warrior realm.
If it weren't for this battle of the blood pool, I'm afraid he wouldn't know how long it would take for Lu Dao to come here.
The importance of the council hall, as a place for the sect to discuss and deal with important affairs, is naturally self-evident, and the people who can stay in it are all people with powerful positions.
Compared with these, Lin Xiu paid more attention to the attitude of the sect in dealing with this incident, the Xuanling lotus seed in his hand belonged to the sect, and Lin Xiu made it very clear when he was by the blood pool at that time, so he handed it over, and with the Xuanling lotus bone in his hand, how could he take advantage of this kind of hurtful little advantage.
But Cheng Shuo died in his hands, which was a bit troublesome.
With a constant thought of how to deal with it in his mind, Lin Xiu followed the man with a bulge and headed towards the council hall.
A long time passed, and the two of them walked forward for a long time.
"Senior Brother Lin Xiu, the council hall has arrived. ”
When Lin Xiu was still thinking, the sound in his ears pulled him back, and he subconsciously raised his head and saw a very atmospheric building.
The three big characters of the conference hall made of black gold are engraved on the top of the main entrance, which is a perfect combination of high-end and simple, and full of artistic conception.
In front of the door, there is a small staircase paved with bluestone slabs, which is not high, but it shows the lofty status of the conference hall just right.
The more carefully he observed, the more Lin Xiu could feel the high craftsmanship of the construction of this council hall, and he thought that the sect had also invited a lot of skilled craftsmen and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to complete its construction.
"Senior Brother Lin Xiu, hurry up and go up, I'll retire first. "The task of the man with the bulge is to be responsible for bringing Lin Xiu here, as for entering the council hall, he never has the courage, he immediately urged Lin Xiu, and hurriedly retreated.
Lin Xiu also knew that he didn't come here to appreciate the art of construction, so he slowly stepped up the stairs at the moment.
But as soon as Lin Xiu took the first step, he felt an invisible coercion enveloping his body, causing the soles of his feet to sink and his body to fall forward uncontrollably.
Even a ladder will hide this kind of mystery, Lin Xiu smiled in his heart, his body shook suddenly, and the tendency to fall suddenly stopped.
"I'm afraid this bit of coercion won't have much effect on me. ”
Lin Xiu said in his heart, and his footsteps were raised again, stepping towards the stairs.
But before he stepped on a few floors, Lin Xiu knew that he was wrong, and the coercion on this ladder was actually increasing layer by layer. Looking at the stairs in front of him, there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.
No wonder the disciple just now was reluctant to follow, if he came, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach Lin Xiu's position, these times, it is not only the level strength of the martial artist that is tested, but also the physical fitness and endurance of the martial artist.
"Isn't it just a broken ladder, and you still want to stop me!"
As soon as he gritted his teeth, the Yuan Force in Lin Xiu's body followed the wind-swept cultivation route, and began to operate wildly. With the continuous operation of Yuan Li, a cluster of something similar to a red cloud rose under Lin Xiu's feet, and his speed suddenly increased at this moment, and he walked towards the top of the stone steps.
After stepping on eight floors in a row, Lin Xiu's speed slowed down again, his face was red from too much force, and even there were faintly visible green tendons on his forehead, it was obvious that Lin Xiu was struggling with every step, but he didn't stop.
If he can't even enter a council hall, and he can't even withstand this bit of coercion, what qualifications does he have to go to the clan, and what qualifications does he have to embark on the road of the strong!
Lin Xiu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and walked towards the Lu with difficulty step by step, every step was very difficult, but Lin Xiu never stopped.
And when Lin Xiu stepped up the stairs, in the conference hall, the gray figure sitting on the curved wooden table was staring at a crystal tablet in front of him, with a calm expression.
In the huge conference hall, there was no sound, only a crystal tablet, reflecting the figure of a black-robed young man, the young man's clothes were soaked, his hands were clenched, his eyes were red but revealing firmness, he raised his heavy feet again and again, stepped on the stone steps, and rattled.
"What a good disciple. Among the five figures, there was a slightly chubby old man, who was the first to speak. His eyes were sharp, staring at the figure of the young man in the crystal tablet, with a touch of appreciation.
This old man is none other than the third elder who is famous for his fairness in the inner gate, Hu Duokuan, and the seven shining crescents on his chest also show the strength of his seven-star martial artist.
"Huh?" Just after Elder Hu's words of appreciation, an old man sitting next to him with nine crescents on his chest suddenly let out a sigh of surprise, his round eyes with a little puzzlement.
On the crystal tablet, the figure of the young man sat down very weakly when there were still five or six steps from the back.
"Alas, after all, there is only the strength of the samurai two-star, and it is already very good to do this. Elder Hu stared at the crystal screen, and suddenly sat on the stairs, and exclaimed, but there was also a trace of regret in his eyes.
"Well, what Lao Hu said is right, a two-star samurai, his strength is a little low, but his talent is not bad. The old man of the nine-star martial artist, after hearing Hu Duokuan's words, also sighed immediately, and looked away from the crystal screen.
"I'm quite optimistic about this disciple, at the beginning of the inner door selection competition, with the strength of the seven-star martial arts, I dared to resist Luo Zhu, and the ruthlessness in my bones is very sufficient. "On the outermost side, Elder Zeng, who was thin and thin, with slightly sunken eyes, stared at the figure on the crystal tablet, and said with a smile, his words were full of trust in Lin Xiu.
"Ahem. Just when the three of them were discussing Lin Xiu, the old man who had never spoken, and was sitting in the middle with his eyes closed, coughed lightly, and then a fine light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he glanced at the crystal tablet without a trace, and said: "Don't discuss these irrelevant things, wait for the famous disciples to come in, everyone should know what to do." ”
As soon as this person's words came out, the three people who were originally interested in discussing it were immediately silent, and there was a faint fear in their eyes when they looked at this person.
"Great Elder, what's the hurry, how to deal with this matter, we still need to make a unified decision, if this son is fine, it can be a good seedling that can be focused on cultivating. Next to him, there was an old man, he looked a little younger than the Great Elder in his mouth, and his temples were also white, but his face was better maintained.
At this time, this person's eyes narrowed, and he smiled at the Great Elder in the middle. The tone is easy-going, but between the words, there is clearly a-for-tat meaning.
Hearing this, an extremely faint killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder, but his face was impassive, and he said, "Second Elder, no matter how good the seedling is, it is still a crooked seedling after all, what is the use of it." ”
The second elder pursed his lips, smiled indifferently, turned his head and said no more.
