Chapter 20: Council of Elders

"Tomorrow is the trial meeting of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I really want to see the trial of the fireflies......" Zi Li sat in the star space, still eating pastries in his mouth, and sent a piece to the mouth of Gu Su Yinghe.

"I advise you not to die, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not in the usual form now, don't hurt me when the time comes. Gu Su Yinghe glanced at Zili, and also sat down beside Zili, rejecting her pastries with one hand.

"What Hotaru said is right, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is different from the usual, the last time the second trial of the Sword Dao Illusion Realm was mixed with a large number of demon beasts, and the trialists who entered the Sword Dao Illusion Realm must have been killed and injured countless, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect must have reached the point where the wind is loud and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Zili, don't hit the south wall at this time. Xiaobai stood behind the two of them, with his hands behind his back, still so gentle and polite.

"I actually let the treasures in my family mix with demon beasts, it seems that this Ten Thousand Swords Sect is also very ordinary......" Zi Li said with a wicked smile.

"The Ten Thousand Sword Sect can stand in the east of the continent for thousands of years, and it must also have its extraordinary, although its strength is not as good as the top forces of the Purple Dragon Xuan and the Phantom Sword Continent, but it is still the sworn enemy of your demon race, and it is also the support of the entire Eastern Continent Empire, and it is also one of the major representative forces of the human race, which should not be underestimated. Xiaobai said lightly.

"What forces, what kind of struggle between the human race and the demon race, I don't want to participate in it, anyway, there is nowhere to go now, I will go wherever the fireflies go......" Zi Li's face was full of indifference.

"Kraft Candy! I don't have the energy to take care of you, the eldest lady, and I told you in advance, you better not get into trouble with me, or I'll get rid of you anyway......! Kill you!" "For Zi Litie who wants to follow him, Gu Su Yinghe is already helpless. Don't talk about driving him away, but thank God she doesn't get herself in trouble. can only pretend to be serious and scare her like this.

Even if it is an ordinary and irrelevant demon clan, as long as he doesn't do anything harmful, as long as he doesn't have hostility towards himself, Gu Su Yinghe can't do it, not to mention that Zili also saved him, how can he do it for revenge?

"I'm so well-behaved and cute, how can I cause trouble for you?" Zili didn't know if he was really frightened by Gu Su Yinghe, his hands were lazily propped up behind his back, he smiled playfully, and a pair of shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks. The long purple-black hair is draped over the shoulders, the immature little face is as white as jade, flawless, the eyes are bright and clear, like brilliant stars, the delicate lips like flower petals and the willow eyebrows are indeed lovely to look at.

"I wish so. Gu Su Yinghe glanced at Zili, his tone was very light, he knew very well what he wanted.

That is to become stronger, to step on the pinnacle of this continent! to be strong enough to rewrite the rules! to be strong enough to rewrite destiny.

"In this way, even the immortals will not be able to perceive my existence!" Zili suddenly got up, took out a set of black robes from the purple long sleeves, and put them on his body, as if the whole thing had disappeared.

Suddenly, a piece of mung bean cake appeared out of thin air in the place where Zili disappeared, as if it was held by an invisible person, and handed to the mouth of Gu Su Yinghe.

"Don't make trouble!" Seeing that Zili disappeared from his eyes all at once, Gu Su Yinghe was also stunned for a moment, and a spiritual perception probed over, only the endless aura of the star space, and he couldn't perceive anything. But when I thought that it should be the black robe she had just put on her body, I was relieved when I thought that it must be a magic weapon.

"This is the Phantom Treasure Cloth, it didn't even scare you......" Zi Li sighed, grabbed Gu Su Yinghe's arm, injected a faint golden sword qi into him, and said, "Refine the sword qi I lost to you into your sword soul, so that you can see me." Don't worry, it's just a faint trace of sword qi, and it won't be repelled by your sword soul. ”

"Don't you tell me that you plan to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect like this?" Gu Su Yinghe did not immediately refine Zili's sword qi, but seemed to think of something, and pushed her hand away with a cautious expression.

"That's smart!But you don't have to worry, why do you think I can run out of my house? That's a demon! You can also see that just one brother of the Nine Heavens Demon has such terrifying strength! If it weren't for the phantom treasure robe, I wouldn't want to sneak out of that heavily guarded place even if I put on my wings......" Zi Li's eyebrows danced, not to mention how proud he was, and he didn't care if others could see it.

"I've also heard rumors that the phantom treasure robe is said to be the magic weapon of a certain immortal thousands of years ago, as long as it is put on, the aura of cultivation will be covered, as if it disappeared out of thin air, according to legend, it has been lost for thousands of years, but I didn't expect it to be in Zili's hands. If you have this phantom treasure robe, it can be a hundred times stronger than the enchantment I set up, and of course you can enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect without any worries. Xiaobai smiled faintly.

Hearing what Xiaobai said, Gu Su Yinghe slowly operated his spiritual perception, pulled the golden sword qi input by Zili, slowly operated according to Zhou Tian, and finally incorporated the soul of the sword. As Zili said, there is no rejection. As soon as he was included in it, he saw Zili sticking out his tongue towards him, with a smug look.

Ignoring Zi Li, Gu Su Yinghe closed his eyes and lay down directly, although he said that the injury had almost healed, he still had to let Zi rest and prepare for tomorrow's trial, the top five, he was bound to win.

Zili also seemed to see Gu Su Yinghe's thoughts, and didn't bother him, wearing a phantom treasure robe, lying in the vast and boundless star space like him. An invisible, fair, slender little hand tightly grips a slightly immature hand.

Xiao Bai sat down cross-legged, his eyes closed, and began to absorb the endless aura of this star space.

At the same time, the scene of the Ten Thousand Swords Elders Conference, including Sect Director Xun Fan, almost stayed awake all night......

"Regarding the matter of the Sword Dao Illusion Realm mixing with demon beasts, how did the elders investigate?" Three thousand silver-haired shawls, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked immortal in a gray robe, and now he was sitting in the position of the sect master of the Council of Elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and it was Ren Yunfan. Some rough hands picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, but the tone was full of coldness.

"Sect Master, the sword qi enchantment in the Sword Dao Illusion Realm is indeed set up by me and the other eight elders, and since then, this Sword Dao Illusion has been kept by me, it is Nangong's dereliction of duty, and I ask the sect master to punish it!" Purple and purple fluttered, Nangong Luo's tone was serious and serious, and he bowed to Ren Yunfan.

"Sect Master, the Sword Dao Illusion was originally placed in the Sword Shrine and guarded by the two Supreme Elders, and there had never been any accidents before. The day before the trial, it was the two elders of the Ye family who were responsible for taking out the illusion, and then on the second day, the disciples entered the illusion and there was a situation, this ...... "It was Gao Lingtian who spoke, and there was also a strong coldness in his words.

"Hmph, Elder Gao, are you suspicious of the old man?" Ye Lianquan suddenly stood up and glared at Gao Lingtian with fierce eyes.

"Elder Gao, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything!" Ye Lianhai sat on the stool, but he was a little calm, obviously not so impulsive as Ye Lianquan, and said in a cold tone: "When we arranged the sword qi enchantment with the other elders, all the elders had carefully checked the enchantment and did not find anything unusual, but Elder Gao was also present at that time!

"What about the other elders, have you found any clues?" Ren Yunfan's eyes swept over the other elders seated, and his five fingers tapped the conference table up and down, waiting for a long time, and the rest of them were silent with solemn expressions.

Ren Yunfan didn't look at a few people, and said coldly: "Speaking of which, the old man finally went back to the sect, and when he encountered the annual trial of our Sword Sect, Xiao Ling happily pulled the old man to watch, but who knew that in this second trial, more than twenty trialists died in the sword path illusion realm." The wounded, severity, were roughly four hundred. Even my little granddaughter was almost killed in it, if it weren't for Elder Su's beloved son who escaped in time and told me, I'm afraid that more than 400 trialists who entered the illusion realm would have died among them...... This great gift from you can make the old man quite 'surprised'!"

Moreover...... At that time, you patted your chest and promised to give an explanation to the old man and the entire Sword Sect within ten days. Now that the ten-day period has expired, all I can get is Elder Nangong's sentence, please punish him?"

The nine elders asked, and said in unison: "Please also ask the sect master to punish you!"

"Punishment and punishment...... You will only talk about punishment! There will be a trial meeting tomorrow, and the old man wants to see how you appease these disciples and how you can give an explanation to these young blood!" Ren Yunfan was quite kind to the nine elders in front of him, except for the rational Gao Lingtian, the capable Nangong Luo, and the two Ye family elders who were dedicated to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he also had no good impression of the remaining five who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

"Sect Master, according to my investigation, there has been a recent movement of the demon clan in Tianze Mountain, west of Xishan City, according to the information from some disciples who have recently gone to investigate, not only the demon race, but also the demon clan and the various forces of the Eastern Continent Empire have gathered there, and it seems that there is a strange treasure about to come...... Xishan City is not far from my Sword Sect, I suspect that this time the Sword Dao Illusion Realm mixed with demon beasts should have something to do with it......" Nangong Luo's face was expressionless, except for the moment when he stood up and asked for sin, the elegant posture of sitting on the chair barely moved, even if he spoke, that is, his lips like two roses moved.

"This, I also knew about it before I returned to the Sword Sect, but at that time, I also saw that Tianze Mountain was gathered by some young juniors of the Eastern Continent Empire, so I went to investigate casually, and I didn't find anything, there was neither a demon nor a demon clan, and the old man didn't pay attention to it. Ren Yunfan took a sip of tea unhurriedly and continued: "I didn't expect that in such a short time, even the demon clan and the demon clan would join in the fun. ”

"I also heard about this, and according to rumors, the time of the birth of the strange treasure is speculated to be half a month later. Lianhai had an idea, it was better to let the top few trialists of this Sword Sect trial go to investigate, so that these young people who were not qualified enough could have a good experience, let them understand the outside world, and let some of the unpopular forces of the Eastern Continent Empire have a better memory. Of course, if I can bring the strange treasure back to my Sword Sect, it will naturally be a great luck for my Sword Sect, if not, then it can only be said that the Sword Sect has no relationship with the strange treasure. Ye Lianhai suddenly spoke, he stroked his beard and continued: "I don't know what the sect master and the elders think?"

"Naturally, I support my brother. Ye Lianquan looked casual.

"Although I have always been at odds with Elder Ye, Elder Ye's proposal this time is indeed a slightly decent one of his few proposals, and Gao agrees. Gao Lingtian's tone was lukewarm, and there was a strong sense of irony in his words.

Ye Lianhai listened to Gao Lingtian's words, the old man's face was blue and white, not to mention how aggrieved he was, if it weren't for Ren Yunfan's presence, he would have already argued with Gao Lingtian.

"The proposal is really good, it can let the younger generation have a good experience, and it is possible to obtain a special treasure, Elder Ye is calculating, but I think that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. At the most basic level, considering the safety of the disciples, we must have an elder or several mentors to lead the way, which is also to avoid the disciples who go to the trial from causing more trouble outside and having a negative impact on our Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Nangong Luo said lightly.

"It's still Elder Nangong who is thoughtful! Then follow what Elder Ye and Elder Nangong said. Do you have any objections or suggestions?" Glancing at the rest of the elders, looking at their silent appearance, Ren Yunfan was obviously expecting it.

Ren Yunfan stood up, his tone was full of coercion, and said, "As for who will lead these young people...... In the old man's opinion, leave it to Elder Wang. The affairs within the sect continued to be handled by Elder Nangong, Elder Su was responsible for assisting, the three elders Ling Tian and Hailian Haiquan were responsible for the management of the trade disciples of the outer sect, and the other elders continued to track down the matter of the Kendo Illusion Realm mixing with demon beasts. The old man faintly felt that this matter was ...... If you have no objections, this is the end of today's meeting to prepare for tomorrow's final trial. ”

None of the nine people present said anything, got up and bowed to Ren Yunfan before leaving the elders' conference room.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, Weiwei, Lingtian stays, the old man still has something to tell you. After the elders left, Ren Yunfan suddenly spoke.

As the four of them turned around and sat back in the elder seat, sensing that the rest of the people had already left, Ren Yunfan's gray robe waved, and a powerful invisible sword qi enchantment enveloped the entire elder conference room.

Of course, those left behind are Nangong Luo, Su Lin, Ren Weiwei, and Gao Lingtian, in fact, these people can really be regarded as Ren Yunfan's henchmen.

After everything was done, the original majesty and coldness on Ren Yunfan's face had been replaced by kindness and cordiality, and he said, "You should know why the old man stopped you, right?"

"I am afraid that is the only thing that can make you so cautious when you are old......" Su Lin was dressed in a white dress, and she was only about thirty years old, and she always exuded an elegant temperament.

"Sect Master Ren, ten years ago, you deliberately arranged for me to manage the sect's foreign trade disciples with the two elders of the Ye family, but Ye Lianhai and Ye Lianquan have always acted extremely cautiously, and Ling Tian still disappointed you......"
