Chapter Seventy-Four: The Presbytery
Suddenly, there were three quick knocks on the door.
Knock knock!
The voice seemed to hit Lin Chen's heart, and immediately after, another stern question came from outside the door.
"Is there anyone? Where is Lin Chen, the elders will summon him!"
Lin Chen just stood up, he couldn't help but be stunned, the Council of Elders, when did he provoke the Council of Elders, as far as he knew, the Elders of the Divine Sword Sect were quite noble and powerful, and they could expel the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect from the door without the consent of the head of the sect.
Therefore, many inner and outer disciples secretly said that they would rather offend the head of the sect than offend the presbyterian council!
Lin Chen came out of his yard and was about to walk to the door of the wooden house to open the door, but Lin Chen hadn't even reached the position of the door, and he didn't have time to open the door of the wooden house.
I saw that the wooden bolt bolted to the door was directly kicked off, and at this time, two white-clothed disciples walked in from the door, both of them looked cold, and looked at Lin Chen with a slightly disdainful gaze, quite unkind, and one of the disciples spoke.
"Lin Chen, right, I was summoned by the Council of Elders to come here now to 'invite' you to come over. ”
Lin Chen shook his head, quite speechless in his heart, is this still called inviting him over?
I almost demolished his house directly!
While shaking his head, he said directly.
"I wonder why the two senior brothers asked me to go to the Council of Elders?"
Seeing Lin Chen shaking his head, the white-clothed disciple who spoke just now couldn't help but get angry, no one dared to show the face of the disciples of the Elders' Council, only others looked at his color, and his deep voice said, "I don't know how to back down when I die, when I get to the Elders' Council, I see how comfortable you are!"
Lin Chen looked at the white-clothed disciple in front of him, he had always been puzzled, firstly, he had never seen the two white-clothed disciples in front of him, he had never met; moreover, he and the Council of Elders were also innocent, but at this time, he was suddenly summoned, he really didn't know what the Council of Elders was!
The white-clothed disciple on the opposite side saw that Lin Chen was still standing still, and couldn't help but start urging.
"Let's go, don't delay everyone's time. ”
"Where's your summons?"
"Hahaha, it seems that it's really a new disciple, summons order, don't you see the mark on my body!"
Lin Chen's eyes swept away, only to see a small sword carved on the left side of the white-clothed disciple's clothes, and on the right were three small characters marked with the Council of Elders, just when Lin Chen was still observing, another tall disciple suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his thick big hand and began to push Lin Chen's body.
Lin Chen couldn't help but look cold, he was only offensive in words before, but if this tall disciple started pushing him, it would be to rise to the level of force.
The tall disciple also held back his strength, mobilized the source power of the dantian, and the strength in his hand suddenly increased several times.
He saw that Lin Chen was always grinding and chirping, and he couldn't help but want to give Lin Chen some color to see, besides, before he came, Senior Brother Zhang Zhuo had already told him that this time the Council of Elders was held to punish Lin Chen, and when the time came, he would either be confined or expelled from the door, so what else could he take into account?
It's just a soft persimmon! Anyone can pinch it.
The tall disciple sneered, and his right hand infused with source power suddenly pushed towards Lin Chen, pressing Lin Chen's shoulder.
But the moment he touched Lin Chen, he only felt as if he had hit an iron wall, which was extremely hard, and the palm that he pushed away was bounced back!
The tall disciple couldn't help but withdraw his hand, looked at Lin Chen in a little shock, and then looked at his arm, as if he couldn't believe it.
Lin Chen glanced at him, and said lightly, "Let's go, don't push this and that, am I familiar with you?"
“......”
Another white-clothed disciple also looked at the tall disciple, he was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what had just happened, why the tall disciple had pushed Lin Chen hard just now, but Lin Chen was still standing in place unharmed.
But before he could delve deeper, Lin Chen had already walked towards the door, and his voice came from the front, "Lead the way." ”
The two disciples originally wanted to give Lin Chen a dismount, but they didn't expect to be blocked by Lin Chen, and the two of them secretly remembered Lin Chen in their hearts, but thinking that the elders of the Council of Elders were already waiting, they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.
The three of them walked towards the location of the Elders' Meeting, which was also a building located on the top of the main peak, right next to the Divine Sword Hall, and Lin Chen was quickly brought to the front of this Hall.
The main hall is filled with a solemn atmosphere, as if only something big happens, it will enter inside, and the plaque on it reads 'Presbyterian Council' in three big characters, and the pen is magnificent, giving people a sense of authority that cannot be offended.
It seemed to know that the three of them were coming, the guard at the door did not stop the three, but directly let them go, Lin Chen followed behind the two white-clothed disciples and walked inside, the inside of the main hall was divided into many side halls, the two white-clothed disciples took Lin Chen into one of the side halls, from the outside, the side hall was made of mahogany, and many pillars were built to support the house.
Lin Chen walked into this side hall, and at this time there were five elders sitting inside, one of the leaders was Elder Xu who led the team to Nuha Star for selection, and at this time, Elder Xu was slightly closing his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
The other elders all looked at Lin Chen who came in, some of their eyes were full of curiosity, some were full of indifference, and even more, there was a red-bearded elder whose eyes were still a little hostile, while next to the red-bearded elder was Zhang Zhuo, who was standing respectfully.
After Lin Chen entered the door, he glanced around the people present, and he saw that Zixuan was also one of the five elders, probably because she also went to Nuha Star and recruited him, and Elder Xu was the same, as the elder who recruited Lin Chen, he naturally had to be notified in place.
However, Lin Chen saw Zhang Zhuo standing next to him, his face couldn't help but sink slightly, he knew that this matter was related to Zhang Zhuo on a regular basis, he had already formed a bond with Zhang Zhuo, and he was no longer afraid of anything, I would follow up if there was anything.
When Lin Chen came to the long table where the elders were sitting, the red-bearded elder suddenly scolded loudly, "Outer disciple Lin Chen!
Lin Chen bowed to all the elders present, and then said slowly, "Disciple Lin Chen has seen all the elders, and this time he was summoned to the Council of Elders, the disciple didn't know the reason at all, what was wrong?"
This calm tone obviously angered the red-bearded elder even more, thinking that he had been an elder for so many years, which disciple was not submissive in front of him, giving him great face, not to mention that Lin Chen was just an outer disciple.
The red-bearded elder stared at Lin Chen with wide eyes, pointed at Lin Chen, his fingers trembled slightly, he seemed to be extremely angry, and scolded loudly.
"Bold fanatic, I'll let you kneel down! Hmph, don't lose your life by then, it's too late to say anything. ”
Lin Chen ignored this unreasonable elder, but looked at Elder Xu who was sitting on the main seat, wanting to get an explanation, he was recruited from Nuha Star to the Tianmu Star Divine Sword Sect, and he followed Elder Xu the whole time, Lin Chen thought that he should not be such an unfair elder.
After a while, Elder Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, finally spoke, he looked at the red-bearded elder, "Old Hu, don't get excited, this is my newly recruited outer disciple this year, if there is anything that makes your disciple Zhang Zhuo feel wronged, you can say it directly." ”
Elder Redbeard snorted, but he also knew that he couldn't use his power to suppress people at this time, after all, everyone was there, he glanced at Elder Xu and everyone and said, "You don't know, Lin Chen, a new disciple, is actually an extremely vicious villain at heart! Old Xu knows that he is from Nuhaxing, but what you don't know is that Lin Chen openly crippled my Zhuo'er's subordinates in Nuhaxing, and also snatched Zhuo'er's storage bag!"
With a sneer, Elder Redbeard continued, "That's not all! What's even more hateful is that this kid actually slandered others and relied on others for robbing his fellow disciples, but he kept his innocence, and he didn't get mud or dripping water!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Elder Xu's eyes, this was the first time he had heard this kind of rhetoric, and Zi Xuan's eyes next to him also flashed, but he didn't speak, Elder Xu looked at Elder Redbeard, and couldn't help asking, "Old Hu, I don't know who you're talking about?" Lin Chen robbed his fellow disciples, but he ended up relying on someone else, who was that person?"
Zhang Zhuo stood up from behind Redbeard at this time, and said respectfully, "Tell Elder Xu, this person is none other than Liu Jin, who is from the same place as Lin Chen, and is the newly promoted inner disciple this time, if the elder needs it, I can ask him to come over and testify." ”
After hearing this, Elder Xu said lightly, "Oh? There really is such a person, so please come over." ”
Zhang Zhuo respectfully clenched his fists and responded to Elder Xu, "Yes!" Disciple Zhang Zhuo is going to find him. ”
When leaving, Zhang Zhuo glanced in the direction of Lin Chen, a sneer pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and said secretly in his heart, this time you have finally come to the end, getting rid of Lin Chen, for Zhang Zhuo, is a great thing in life, and seeing that he is about to succeed, Zhang Zhuo can't help but feel a little excited, and he is always walking with a tiger.
But Lin Chen just stood silently, without speaking or stopping, as if this silence was a kind of acknowledgment and a kind of resistance.
Moreover, Elder Zixuan did not speak from beginning to end, she was also looking at Lin Chen quietly, with a trace of expectation and appreciation in her eyes, which she had never shown to other men.
