Chapter 1041
Yes, in the future... what could they do?
Zhang Pinger had followed Garuda to Heavenly Dragon Sect. Not to mention whether Fragrance Cult had the ability to get Zhang Pinger back in the future, even if Fragrance Cult could get Zhang Pinger back, would Zhang Pinger still be the same Zhang Pinger at that time?
Seeing that Yin Yin was silent, Nun Jing Yi was also silent. Peacock and Chen Chen were even more silent.
Peacock and Chen Chen, at this moment... were probably more lucky that they were now disciples of the Inheritance Cult. Moreover, they were lucky that they weren't born with a Gift!
"Sigh, poor Zhang Pinger!"
Chen Chen was silent for a moment and said unconsciously, "First, she was dumped by Yue Zhuoqun, and then she was played by Ren Xiaoyao. Now … she finally calmed down, but she was valued by Garuda … Senior Sister Apprentice, is this the legendary fate of beautiful women?"
"You... shut up!"
Without waiting for Peacock to speak, Nun Jing Yi couldn't help but scold, "Yue Zhuoqun... we don't even know where her corpse is. Besides, there's nothing between him and Zhang Pinger!
Ren Xiaoyao... don't even mention him!
He's wholeheartedly looking for Zixia, Zhang Pinger is just wishful thinking! "
Chen Chen curled her lips and muttered, "I just think that Ren Xiaoyao is heartless!!!"
"Thump!" Peacock heard it clearly and her heart tightened for no reason!
Nun Jing Yi ignored her and turned to Yin Yin, "Deputy Temple Master Yin has been the Deputy Temple Master of the Flame Temple for many years. I've also been paying attention to you for a long time. You're excellent in all aspects and now is the time for the Fragrance Cult to step out into the world. It's also time for you to show your skills. I think it's time for you to change places and take on more responsibilities."
Yin Yin heard this and was pleasantly surprised. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your promotion!"
"Mm, this is the result of your many years of hard work. No need to thank me!"
Nun Jing Yi waved her hand and said, "Go and tell Zhang Pinger that on her shoulders is the hope of the revival of the Fragrance Cult. Her responsibility is also great.
Let her remember that as long as she's a disciple of the Fragrance Cult, no matter where she is, she's a disciple of the Fragrance Cult. I know this! "
"Yes, I understand."
"Moreover, Zhang Pinger's sacrifice today will be recorded in the history of the church by the disciples. Her sacrifice today in exchange for the glory of the Incense Cult tomorrow will definitely earn the respect of the younger disciples!
Her … tears … will not be in vain! "
"This subordinate understands. This subordinate will explain this matter to Zhang Pinger. Alas, now that things have come to this, we can only face reality!"
Yin Yin agreed and left. When she was far away, Chen Chen called out again, "Sir Hierarch … How can we … record this …"
Peacock scolded from the side, "Chen Chen, shut up!"
"Senior Sister, but …"
"If this matter was to be recorded in the ancient records, how could Lord Sect Master let bystanders withdraw?
Only the two of us are left? "
Peacock frowned and said, "You and I are the next generation successors of the Order of Incense. Our leader has put in a lot of effort to show us the cruelty of Jianghu and how difficult it is for the female disciples of the Order of Incense to survive in Jianghu. If it wasn't for the circumstances, why would our leader allow her disciples to sacrifice themselves?
If we don't harden our hearts, if we don't bear the humiliation, how can the Order of Incense flourish in our hands? "
"But …" Chen Chen was still unconvinced, "Didn't Lord Sect Master say that?
As long as we have supernatural powers that others don't have … won't we still be able to bring the Order of Incense to greater heights? "
"Chen Chen … You still don't understand. If … we were the number one person in Jianghu, would we still make such a decision today?
If … we were flying in the air in front of Rejuvenation Valley, using a flying sword to kill the immortal seniors of Longteng Villa, would we … still make such a decision? "
"Everything is decided by strength. In this Jianghu … only strength is believed!"
"Hua …" A soft sound came from outside the hall …
"Haha," Nun Jing Yi used her divine sense to scan the area and laughed, "Alright, there will be a conclusion. We still have to pass the days of the Order of Incense. Let's finish this martial arts convention first."
When Nun Jing Yi led Peacock and Chen Chen back to the main hall of Huaiyu Palace, the hundred winners had already been decided. The "hua hua" sound came from the inner disciples of the Order of Incense handing out the jade bottles containing the "Yuhuandan Pill", "Bone Solidifying Pill", and "Small Revitalizing Pill" to the hundred disciples. The audience cheered and applauded!
To the hundred disciples and their sects, this was already the final victory. It was enough for them to record it in their sect's records. The rest could only fight for glory. The main characters on the stages were not destined to be theirs!
After that, the fifty stages in the square slowly returned to the ground. Of the fifty stages in Huaiyu Palace, other than the eight stages in front of the main platform, the other forty-two stages also returned to the ground.
Everyone knew that in the second round of the Sword Discourse, the one hundred and twenty disciples would compete in these eight stages to determine the final eight spots.
Sure enough, the one hundred female disciples of the Fragrant Religion who were supervising the first round of the Sword Arena went to the middle of the ring. There was already a small hole in the middle of the ring, and these female disciples put the winner's name into the small hole.
"Alright, the first round of the Sword Discourse has already determined the hundred disciples. I represent the Order of Incense to congratulate these disciples. I hope that they can continue to work hard and improve their martial arts to the next level. I hope that they can shine brightly in Jianghu!"
Nun Xuezhen jumped onto the stage and smiled, "Next up is the second round of the Sword Discourse. As everyone can see, there are eight stages. Including the four disciples of the Order of Incense, the four disciples of the Dalin Temple, the four disciples of the Order of Righteous Dao, the four disciples of Between the Clouds and the Water, and the four disciples of the Tenryū Sect, there are a total of one hundred and twenty disciples competing for the eight spots."
"Four disciples will be selected from these eight winners. The four disciples will compete in the Sword Discourse. The winner will compete for the top spot of the Sword Discourse, while the loser will compete for the top spot of the Sword Discourse!"
"Alright, the Order of Incense will send out four disciples and place their names on the stage. The other four sects, please also place the names of the disciples from their sects who will be participating in the Sword Discourse."
As soon as Nun Xuezhen finished speaking, four people walked in from outside the hall. One woman and three men. Seeing the appearance of the female disciple, not only was Nun Xuezhen stunned, but all the disciples of the Order of Incense were also stunned. Nun Xuezhen turned to look at Nun Jing Yi in surprise. Nun Jing Yi nodded slightly. Only then did Nun Xuezhen suppress the confusion in her heart.
The four people jumped onto the stage and bowed to Nun Jing Yi. They said, "We are Hu Ben from the Ruijin Palace, Yang Biao from the Green Wood Palace, Li Yifan from the Thick Earth Palace … Xia Qing from the Distant Fire Palace. Greetings to all the sect leaders!"
Nun Jing Yi waved her hand. The four people threw the paper in their hands into the small hole in the stage and stood at the side of the stage with their hands by their sides.
Then, four disciples from the Order of the Righteous Alliance also jumped out. They were all slightly older. They went onto the stage and bowed. "We are Liu Zhihua, Qu Feng, Wu Shanghong, and Li Feng from the Order of the Righteous Alliance. Greetings to all the sect leaders!"
On the stage, Alliance Master Zhang San's face was slightly dark. The corners of his eyes twitched. He knew that while the Order of the Righteous Alliance was famous in the world of martial artists and had been able to summon the wind and summon the rain over the past few decades, that was just the feeling of a normal sect in the world of martial artists. Compared to the sects beside him, his foundation was … far too lacking!
Disregarding everything else, the older disciples on the stage might not have been famous in the world of martial artists, but they were already extremely outstanding figures among the next generation of disciples in the Order of the Righteous Alliance. They had come to the Order of the Righteous Alliance this time to let them broaden their horizons and did not plan to let them show their faces, but … the rewards offered by the Order of the Righteous Alliance really moved him. He had been running the Order of the Righteous Alliance for so many years, and every time he thought of the Four Sects of the Immortal Path, he would feel a sense of inferiority from the bottom of his heart. He had been doing his best to search for the remains of the Immortal Path, hoping to find a way to enter the Immortal Path. However … even though he had spent a lot of effort and obtained a lot of secret manuals, jade slips, and so on … he had not been able to get a glimpse of the Immortal Path. This time, he was participating in the Order of the Righteous Alliance's martial arts assembly. He really did not expect that such a wonderful opportunity would be placed in front of him. Of course, he also believed that Nun Jing Yi definitely had some tricks she did not mention about these three items, but … who was he?
He was the leader of the Righteous Alliance, one of the three super sects. He firmly believed that even if Jing Yi Nun still had a trick up her sleeve, as long as he could get his hands on these three items, he would definitely be able to decipher the secret to becoming an immortal!
After the Righteous Alliance, it was naturally the disciples of Between the Clouds and the Water. Bai Yanqiu seemed to be determined to win Between the Clouds and the Water too. He sent four disciples, including Liang Cangxu.
At this moment, only the disciples of the Dalin Temple and the Tenryū Sect seemed to be particularly relaxed. The disciples of the Dalin Temple stood there cautiously with their palms clasped together. They wore smiles on their faces as they watched the sword competition in a friendly manner.
Compared to the rules of the disciples of the Dalin Temple, the Tenryū Sect really didn't care about trifles!
There were about twenty disciples of the Tenryū Sect. They sat at five tables, either scratching their heads or resting with their eyes closed. A few of the chairs were empty. No one knew where they had gone!
Four people were sitting at one of the tables. A good-looking woman was holding the hand of a middle-aged man with snow-white hair who looked to be in his thirties. She whispered, "Little Yueyue, who do you think the Heavenly King will send?"
"Shh, A-Jiao, don't talk. Whoever the Heavenly King sends will go. It's not up to us to judge."
These two people were Qin Shiyue and Xu Jiaotong, whom Zhang Xiaohua was already familiar with. The two of them were separated from Zhang Xiaohua on the sea. Zhang Xiaohua fell into the sea and naturally had a different encounter. The two of them were also in the competition between the Tenryū Sect and the government. They didn't suffer any injuries. The battle overseas only cost them a lot of manpower. When the ships approached, the Jianghu people, led by Xu Jiao Wang and the rest, had the upper hand!
Of course, the Tenryū Sect didn't want to offend the government too much. Although they knew that the ships that were chasing them had set sail without permission, they couldn't annihilate all of them. They only dispelled their arrogance and swaggered off!
