In the meeting hall of the sect, an oval-shaped long table was placed in the middle, and Liu Wei sat at one end of the oval table as the sect master, and on each side of the table sat six elders in the sect. Most of these chairmen are in their forties and fifties.

"The Xuandaomen have been harassing us on our border more and more recently, and just the day before yesterday, they robbed us of a batch of supplies that we sent to the capital of Zhao State. Zhao Song, who was in charge of the trade work of the Liuyun Sect, said.

"According to the news from the hidden pile placed in the Xuandao Gate by our side, there are changes in the Xuandao Gate, but there is no more specific information, they have now taken stricter confidentiality measures, and they can't detect more information, and with the personnel changes in the door, the information review of personnel is becoming more and more strict. Chen Yuan, who is in charge of intelligence work, said.

Liu Wei glanced at Li Yue, sensing the eyes of the sect master and everyone, Li Yue spoke. "The strength of the Xuandao Sect has always been on par with ours, which is why they have been quiet. Now that something has changed, it may be that the strength in the door has changed. In the short term, the strength of their sect should not have increased much, and it may be that some external forces have prompted them to take action. ”

"Speaking of external forces, we are located on the northwest border of Zhao State, further north is the Psychedelic Forest, in the southeast in addition to the Xuandao Gate, and then there is the Qinghuan faction, but the Qinghuan faction has always been the policy of maintaining peace, as for going a little further to the middle, it is basically the gate faction close to the Central Plains, and there is no interest in the northwest, a land with scarce resources. ”

Sun Bi interjected. "There's not much news about the Demon Dao lately. ”

From the perspective of the overall situation, it seems that the actions of the Xuandaomen are a little incomprehensible, so everyone remained silent, Liu Wei said at this time. "I have a message here, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it. When Mo Yixi passed by Yuyang City, he found that there seemed to be a mysterious guest in the city lord's mansion. ”

Chen Yuan asked. "Mysterious guest, we also have a secret agent in Yuyang City, why didn't we get the news about this, and how did he know about it?"

Liu Wei. "Ahem...... He had some friendship with the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion back then, presumably because he got the news when he went to visit. ”

"I'll send someone to inquire again. ”

After that, several people discussed some affairs within the sect, emphasizing that at this critical moment, the sect needs to make preparations in all aspects. As for Yi Ming's breaking into the Flower Garden, it violated the rules of the sect, but they also knew that this must be something that Mo Yixi was doing behind him, and it was not a big deal, so they passed by.

Time flickered and flickered to the day of the sect's assessment.

Mo Yixi basically did not guide Yi Ming's cultivation, and he would only explain to Yi Ming when Yi Ming couldn't figure it out himself. He would not be like ordinary elders who would delineate a clear cultivation path for his disciples and formulate a cultivation plan. That's how irresponsible it is.

However, Yi Ming is also quite strong, he never easily shows his vulnerability and ignorance in front of others, because he thinks that being weak and ignorant is tantamount to causing trouble to others.

Therefore, to sum up, Yi Ming now also knows nothing about cultivation.

The monthly assessment of the Liuyun Sect does not have a stable division, such as the division of several stages of qi refining and refining, nor does it have a tool that is very convenient for measuring strength, it is completely determined by competition, and the final ranking of the competition represents strength. The assessment of the male and female disciples of the Liuyun Sect is separate, but the rules are the same.

The top 10 in the last month's assessment were directly pre-selected, and the remaining disciples entered the top 100 through a progressive competition in groups. There is a huge gap between the top ten and the top 100 treatment, as for ordinary disciples, the treatment is even worse, but for cultivation, good treatment certainly has advantages, but cultivation is not just a simple matter of qualifications.

In the history of the Liuyun Sect, there have been ordinary disciples whose strength has undergone earth-shaking changes in a very short period of time. There have also been excellent disciples who did not advance but retreated in a short period of time, and finally disappeared from everyone.

When Yi Ming came to the competition venue, the list and order of the competition had been announced on the bulletin board, and he looked at the list of his names on it. Except for the top ten disciples who skip the qualifiers directly, the other disciples are all random combinations, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated. From the point of view of the rules, if two disciples with a large difference in strength are arranged together, the weaker side can only consider themselves unlucky.

This situation leads to the fact that some strong disciples may be eliminated in the first round because they meet stronger disciples, so the sect allows each eliminated disciple to have a chance to challenge the top 100 disciples, and if they win, they can replace them. But the price to pay for this kind of challenge is even higher, and the first hundred disciples can even seriously injure the challenger, because it is a provocation to dignity.

This kind of elimination and gradual competition is in order, there are ten rings in the competition field, and the total number of male disciples of the Liuyun Sect every three years is more than 800 people, and the first time they are divided into more than 400 groups. From the beginning to the end of a game, it is tens of seconds fast, and the slow is not more than half an hour at most, with an average of a few minutes a game, more than 400 games a day, and 40 games in a ring, which is more than enough to complete all the games in one day.

Yi Ming belonged to the tenth ring, and the opponent who was arranged was a disciple named Sun Wei, and the match was the thirtieth game, which was scheduled in the afternoon.

Yi Ming came to the test venue after taking a nap, and the field had not yet started at this time, but there were already a lot of people coming. He wandered around, looking for someone he knew about.

He saw a person with a familiar face in the third ring, the disciple he had seen at the sect gate that day.

"Hello. Yi Ming walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

The disciple was a little surprised when he turned his head to look at Yi Ming. "What are you doing here? Aren't you in the tenth ring?"

"Isn't it that it hasn't started yet, so I'm shopping around. A friendly smile hung on Yi Ming's face. "I saw you here, so I came over to say hello. What happened at the sect's gate that day, you should have just been joking, right?"

"Who's kidding you?!"

"Hey, don't you have to be so indifferent, do we have a deep hatred? Do you know that your master and my master are lifelong friends, no matter what, we should also get along well, right?"

The disciple stopped talking, and the scene was quite embarrassing for a while. Yi Ming also knew that he did it on purpose, but he didn't care either.

"Hey, today's young people just like to lose their temper inexplicably, it's really hard to get along with. Yi Ming left after speaking.

After that, he walked around the arena again, listening to the disciples on the side of the ring talking about the powerful disciples in the sect and some gossip. Shortly before the start of the competition, he returned to Ring 10.

The first game is two disciples who are not very famous, and there is less discussion about the two in the audience, as for the strength of the two fighting, they are more flexible than ordinary people, and they can make exaggerated movements, and the victory or defeat is only a matter of minutes.

In the next eight competitions, there are extremely powerful disciples in the sect, and as soon as they get on the field, they can only admit defeat as the disciples of their opponents, and those who do not admit defeat are also crushed and failed.
