Chapter Forty-Six: The Nine Ringing of the Bronze Bell
Not long after Wang Ke left the sect, a sword light fell from the top of Xuanwu Peak in a flash, and a middle-aged monk wearing a cyan robe stood on the sword light.
The middle-aged monk had gray temples, long hair tied behind his back, and a powerful aura exuded from his body, but with an indifferent smile on his face, he landed on the platform outside the courtyard, and the middle-aged man looked at it slightly.
"Hehe, I haven't been here for a long time, but there hasn't been much change, it seems that this old guy Xuanwu is still cultivating hard" The middle-aged man turned his gaze to the inside of the courtyard, looked at the spiritual power vortex in the sky, said with a slight smile, and strode in.
At this moment, Lingmu hurriedly walked out from inside, greeted the middle-aged monk, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Welcome Uncle Xun."
"Excuse me, you go and get busy with you, I have something to look for your peak master, by the way, has the disciple named Wang Ke ever come back?" The middle-aged man surnamed Xun glanced at Lingmu lightly.
"Wang Ke, he just came back once, but he left again" Lingmu was slightly stunned, but still replied honestly, and at the same time thought in his heart: "Why did Uncle Xun ask Wang Ke, did he commit something, hmph, it must be like this" Lingmu thought in his heart.
"Okay, you go get busy" The middle-aged monk ignored the spirit wood standing next to him, and strode inside, as if he was very familiar with this courtyard, and it didn't take long to reach the outside of the courtyard where the master of Xuanwu Peak was cultivating.
"Hehe, Xun Jian, what kind of wind blew you to my Xuanwu Peak today" As soon as the middle-aged monk arrived at the door, a hearty whisper came from the courtyard, and then the closed courtyard door slowly opened, and the Xuanwu Peak Lord had already walked out of it, but there was a smile on his always indifferent face, and his eyes fell on the middle-aged monk's body.
"Why, I haven't seen you for so long, my old friend can't even come over to see you," the middle-aged monk said with a smile.
The Xuanwu Peak Lord waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go in and say, I just got a little spiritual tea recently, Senior Brother Xun, you might as well taste it" The Xuanwu Peak Lord made a gesture of invitation at the door.
"Oh, then I'm not welcome" The middle-aged monk's expression moved, walked in, and the two came to the high platform in the courtyard, only to see the Xuanwu Peak Lord wave his right hand, and two cyan futons instantly emerged and spread on the ground, and then the central light flashed, and the quaint small square table also appeared in front of him, only to see that a delicate purple clay pot had been placed on the small square table, and two tea sets were placed next to it.
The two sat cross-legged, and the master of Xuanwu Peak picked up the purple clay pot and poured a cup for Xun Jian and himself, only to see the green smoke in the teacup, and a rich fragrance of tea spread.
"Haha, you actually got Tiangang Yunwu Tea, it seems that I came to the right place today" Xun Jian smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, looking like he was enjoying it, the Xuanwu Peak Lord also took a sip, and then looked at Xun Jian with a straight face and asked.
"Tell me, what's the matter with coming here today?"
"Hehe, I heard that you have a disciple named Wang Ke under your door, I want to take him under the door" Xun Jian said calmly.
The master of Xuanwu Peak was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xun Jian a little strangely and asked: "Don't you like to accept disciples, why do you suddenly want to pass on the mantle, this disciple named Wang Ke is nothing peculiar, but is it the tenth of the moon ratio today."
"Hehe, it seems that you don't know much about this kid named Wang Ke, he can control ten sword lights in just the middle stage of Naqi, and he has continuously defeated the late-stage disciples of Naqi in the Yuebi, although the strength of the late-stage disciples who participated in the Yuebi is not very good, but he even defeated Han Feng, originally I wanted to take Han Feng into the door, but now I have changed my mind."
"Han Feng is the young man you mentioned to me last time, how could Wang Ke defeat him" The Xuanwu Peak Lord's expression moved, and he asked in some surprise, he had long known that Xun Jian had paid attention to the young man named Han Feng, Han Feng was extremely talented, although he was only an inner disciple, but his strength was already extraordinary.
"You mean that Wang Ke's qualifications are still above Han Feng, right?" asked the Xuanwu Peak Lord suspiciously.
"Hehe, no, I took a fancy to his Miscellaneous Spirit Root qualifications, and you also know how rare it is for a Miscellaneous Spirit Root disciple to have such strength," Xun Jian said again.
At this time, the Xuanwu Peak Lord fell into silence, he didn't pay much attention to Wang Ke, but at this time, when Xun Jian said it, his heart suddenly brightened, and when he thought about it, his face suddenly sank, and his eyes changed again and again.
"What, did you think of anything" Xun Jian looked at the expression of the Xuanwu Peak Lord, and suddenly asked guessingly.
"Well, it's really strange to talk about it, a year ago, Kuroki brought him in from outside the sect, and when he handed it over to me, he was just a hairy boy who had just stepped into the early stage of Qi acceptance, and when I saw that he was a miscellaneous spirit root, I asked someone to arrange for him to go to the forbidden land, but I didn't expect that it would only take a year to progress to the middle stage of Qi acceptance, it seems that this kid has some secrets" Xuanwu Peak Lord said simply.
"Miscellaneous Spirit Root, it only took a year to raise his strength to the middle stage of Qi acceptance, or in a place other than the forbidden land, and I think his strength is not only in the middle stage of Qi absorption, if you want to figure it out, it's better to call him over and ask" Xun Jian's face also became weird.
"Alas, you're late, just now this kid has already left the sect with my warrant" Xuanwu Peak Lord's face flashed a few times.
"I really didn't expect you to be fooled by such a hairy boy, but you really shouldn't have arranged for him to guard the forbidden place," Xun Jian said with a smile.
"What's the use of saying this now, whatever, or cultivating by yourself is a big deal, seeing that the time limit is approaching, if you don't hurry up and cultivate, I'm afraid you will be unable to escape" Xuanwu Peak Lord shook his head and said.
"Dangdang Dang ......" At this moment, a clear sound of bells suddenly rang from a distance, and the bells rang nine times in a row, and when they heard the sound, the Xuanwu Peak Lord and Xun Jian turned their eyes to look in the direction where the bell came from.
"Bronze bell Jiuming, it seems that something big has happened, let's go" Xun Jian stood up, the master of Xuanwu Peak nodded and stood up, with a wave of his left hand, the table and futon in front of him disappeared in a flash, and then the two of them rose into the air, drove the sword light towards Aoki Peak, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The bell just now can be heard by the entire Aoki Sect, this is a signal that all the high-level Aoki Sect are in a hurry, and the nine rings of the bronze bell represent that something big has happened, as long as it is in the high-level of the Aoki Sect, unless it is a closed pass, it must not be absent.
At the location of the mountainside of Aoki Peak, at this time, the figures of the air path appeared, some stepped on flying swords, some drove flying spirit weapons, and some stepped on white clouds, and flew to the meeting hall on the mountainside.
There was a huge building on the mountainside, and at this time all these figures fell and went straight inside, in twos and threes, some of them talking to each other after they landed, and most of them were puzzled.
The Xuanwu Peak Lord and Xun Jian fell in front of the building, just next to the blue light flashed, the Qinglong Peak Lord landed, Xun Jian looked over, and asked loudly: "Qinglong, what is the matter today, the bronze bell is nine ringing."
"I don't know, I just heard the bell and came" The Qinglong Peak Lord shook his head, not knowing what was going on.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look first" The Xuanwu Peak Lord said lightly, and then the three of them walked directly inside, inside the building, there was a spacious hall, and at this time, dozens of powerful monks had gathered in the hall, and all of these monks were masters of the Jindan period.
At this time, these monks gathered together in twos and threes, and were whispering something, Xun Jian and the Xuanwu Peak Lord walked to the side, and stayed quiet for a while, only to see Kuroki walking in from the side entrance, and at this time, no one came in from outside the hall.
"Okay, everyone, please listen to me, I just received the news that the branch outside our Aoki Sect was attacked by the forces of the Demon Gate, and the disciples under the sect suffered heavy losses," Kuroki said gloomily.
"What, they are so bold that they dare to attack our branch" said an old Jindan stage powerhouse with raised eyebrows, exuding a powerful aura from his body.
Fortunately, there were strong people standing around, and they would not be affected by his powerful aura, so they only heard Kuroki continue: "Not only our Aoki Sect, but even the Tianyun Sect and the Vientiane Gate have been attacked."
"Hehe, the Demon Gate has always been unscrupulous, and the Immortal Forbidden Continent has been calm for so long, it seems that they are ready to move," said a middle-aged monk with a cold light in his eyes.
"Since they dare to provoke, then we can't sit idly by, it's time to fight back," said a gray-haired old man in a deep voice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Well, that's it, Elder Tu and Elder Gao, you can take a team of people out to investigate, and the rest of the things will be decided by the sect master after he returns," Kurimoti said.
"Okay, that's it" Elder Tu was tall, with gray hair, a black face, and a black robe on his body, exuding an astonishing evil aura all over his body.
The other tall elder was not tall, his body was thin, skinny, his eyes flashed with black light, and a string of animal bones hung around his neck, which looked eerie and terrifying, but somewhat like a demon monk.
"The rest of you should be prepared to deal with the actions of the Demon Gate at any time, and everyone should remind your disciples to pay attention and be more careful when they are training outside," Kuroki continued.
Half an hour later, the masters all left the hall one after another, and Elder Tu and Elder Gao led a group of monks who quickly appeared at the gate of the mountain and left in a hurry.
Kuroki Zhenren returned to the forbidden place, and in the underground secret room where he practiced, he saw him reach out and take out a palm-sized gossip mirror, put it on the table in front of him, and then reached out and took out a piece of jade slip, threw the jade slip in front of him, and then pinched the trick with both hands, and said something in his mouth, and instantly the spiritual power shot out of his hand, wrapping the jade slip inside, and the jade slip turned in the spiritual power, and then turned into a white light and disappeared into the gossip mirror on the table.
With a wave of his right hand, the gossip mirror on the table had disappeared, and he only heard Kuroki Zhenren say to himself: "Two old immortal guys, who told your teacher to go against me."
After leaving the sect, Wang Ke unfolded his body, and soon he was dozens of miles away from the sect, and he felt that he would no longer attract attention, and with a pinch of the sword trick with both hands, the cyan flying sword rushed out of his body, and then Wang Ke jumped and flew up, stepped on the flying sword with both feet, and turned into a blue light and shot away into the distance.
The fierce wind was all blocked by the spiritual power shield outside his body, and watching the mountains and rivers below retreat rapidly, Wang Ke had an indescribable feeling in his heart at this time.
