Chapter 4238: Being a person with your tail between your legs
The several geniuses who were questioned dared not hide anything and recounted exactly what had happened.
After listening to their description, the five Taihe Sect disciples who had rushed over looked at You Lin, You Xiao, and Su Mingrui, with displeasure revealed in their eyes.
"Senior brothers, you cannot listen to their one-sided words. We are the victims."
You Xiao had a sad face and covered his cheek with his right hand after he finished speaking.
"Brother Li, let's forget it. The leader of Wuxiang Peak is not someone you want to mess with."
A disciple of Taihe Sect who was accompanying them said in a low voice.
Knowing that You Lin and the others were from the You family, he advised Senior Brother Li not to meddle in other people's business. Although Wuxiang Peak was not a big peak, it was the master of a peak after all. These You family disciples in front of them were invited by the master of Wuxiang Peak. Targeting them would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the master of Wuxiang Peak.
The Taihe Sect disciples around me also mean well, so there is no need to get involved in this mess. Just let them do what they want. As for who can join the sect, it has nothing to do with them.
The Taihe Sect disciple standing in front of Liu Wuxie was named Li Zhuo. He hated evil and had offended many people over the years, so his companions gave him some advice.
"I don't care what happened to you guys before. From now on, you all should just go back to your own place. If anyone dares to cause trouble for me again, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Zhuo knew that the disciples who accompanied him had good intentions. He hated those who relied on their status and position to bully others.
People who are familiar with Li Zhuo know very well that he has no background and only joined Taihemen through his own efforts.
Before joining Taihemen, he had suffered a lot of unfair treatment. One of them was that he was suppressed by the major families. His parents were bullied to death.
This also caused Li Zhuo to feel angry when he saw those powerful families oppressing ordinary people.
"Brother, you really need to protect them."
You Lin's face was gloomy. They had already brought up the identity of the Third Ancestor, but Li Zhuo actually dared to speak to them in that tone, making everyone in the You family embarrassed.
Even if Li Zhuo wanted to meddle in other people's business, he could only scold both parties at most. From what he just said, it was not difficult to hear that Li Zhuo had a deep disgust for their You family.
"How dare you provoke Senior Brother Li? Not to mention that you are not yet a disciple of Taihe Sect. Even if you joined Taihe Sect, who gave you the courage to speak to an inner sect disciple in this tone?"
The disciple standing next to Li Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.
It is true that the third ancestor of the You family is the master of Wuxiang Peak. They have done nothing wrong. Besides, they are not disciples of Wuxiang Peak, so the master of Wuxiang Peak cannot control them.
A mere cultivator at the Life Tribulation Realm actually dared to speak to them in such a tone, angering the accompanying Taihe Sect disciples.
Birds of a feather flock together. The disciples standing next to Li Zhuo have all climbed up from the bottom step by step. They know the pain of having no background.
The other members of the You family wanted to continue arguing, but were stopped by another family member who shook his head at them.
If they argue with disciples at the Lord God level, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.
Li Zhuo and his companions were all veteran disciples of the Taihe Sect. Although they did not have a deep background, they had already established themselves in the sect. If they were to be offended, the You family would definitely be the one to suffer.
When disciples fight, the leader of Wuxiang Peak cannot intervene, and most of the time, they have to solve it on their own.
"Since Senior Brother has said so, our You Family must give Senior Brother this face, but our You Family will remember this blood debt."
You Lin quickly calmed down. He was just blinded by hatred and that was why he contradicted Li Zhuo.
After saying that, he glared at Liu Wuxie fiercely and retreated to his own area with the members of the You family.
There was nothing exciting to watch, so the geniuses who were watching left one after another.
"Thank you, brothers, for speaking out for justice. On behalf of the Di family, I am grateful."
Di Changsheng hurried forward, clasped his fists towards Li Zhuo and the others, and thanked them for speaking for him.
Li Zhuo glanced at Di Changsheng, then his eyes fell on Liu Wuxie's face. The reason they stood up was not to help the Di family, but because they couldn't stand the You family's actions.
"You guys take care of yourself. Before you have absolute strength, learn to be humble."
Li Zhuo looked at Liu Wuxie meaningfully, then left with the Taihe Sect disciples who were accompanying him.
If it were anyone else, Li Zhuo would have been furious after hearing those last words, but there was no trace of emotion on Liu Wuxie's face.
Li Zhuo seemed to be scolding him, but in fact he was reminding himself.
Taihe Gate is not the outside world. The water inside is too deep. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Before you have the strength, keeping a low profile is undoubtedly the best way.
A farce ended in this way.
It was relatively calm after that, with an occasional flying boat landing, until the evening of the next day, when no more flying boats landed.
"I will be participating in the general election tomorrow. I hope everything goes well!"
Dichun murmured.
Early next morning!
Disciples who had signed up to participate from thousands of miles away arrived at the square one after another, making the originally empty square suddenly bustling with activity.
The invited disciples were arranged on the left side, and they would definitely be treated preferentially.
"Why are there so many invited disciples this year? Doesn't this make our chances of joining Taihe Sect even lower?"
Those disciples without any background looked at the more than one thousand invited disciples with jealousy on their faces.
According to the rules of previous years, Taihemen recruits about 8,000 to 10,000 disciples every year. This year, the number of applicants exceeded 150,000, which has a lot to do with the coming of troubled times.
When troubled times come, the only way to protect yourself is to join a large sect.
"Ong!"
There were buzzing sounds coming from the distant sky, and ten outer sect elders stepped on auspicious clouds and landed above the square.
"It's the annual Taihe Sect's disciple selection election again. I, Zhao Sheng, and other outer sect elders welcome you all on behalf of Taihe Sect. As in previous years, the first stage of the assessment is to ring the Taihe Bell. Only those who can ring it three times are eligible to join Taihe Sect. Those who can ring it two times can stay and become menial disciples. Those who can ring it five or six times have great hope of being accepted as disciples by the inner sect elders. As for those who can ring it six times or more, they are the chosen ones of heaven and can be exempted from the last two assessments and directly join Taihe Sect. They have a better chance of being accepted as closed disciples by the elite elders. Without further ado, the assessment will begin now."
After the old man standing in the middle finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and a crack suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and a huge divine bell fell in the middle of the square.
Hearing that the assessment was about to begin, everyone was very nervous.
They had finally managed to get a spot and didn't want to fail at the first stage.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The other elders standing beside Zhao Sheng quickly formed seals, and two irregular passages appeared around the Taihe Bell, making it easier for the disciples to line up.
These channels are condensed by the laws of heaven and earth. Such means are somewhat beyond Liu Wuxie's understanding.
"This is a unique method of the Void Saint Realm. The spatial formation is higher than that of the Main God Realm."
Di Changsheng stood beside Liu Wuxie and explained in a low voice.
The main god domain stimulated by the main god realm is just an independent domain, and the rules within it are not complete.
When you reach the realm of Virtual Saint, the main divine domain evolves into the Virtual Saint Space. Once you are trapped in the space, you can only be slaughtered by the opponent, unless your Virtual Saint Space is far more powerful than the opponent's.
This is also the reason why no matter how powerful the Lord God Realm is, it cannot defeat the Void Saint Realm.
Over the past hundreds of thousands of years in the Upper Realm, there have been very few examples of the Main God Realm defeating the Void Saint Realm. Even if they were defeated, it was because of powerful magic weapons. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to rely on one's own strength.
The disciples at the front of the line could no longer hold back and quickly came to the Taihe Bell.
There are two passages, the successful ones go to the right, and the failed ones go to the left. It seems that after tens of thousands of people divided the space quickly, the entire square is in order.
Everyone's name and background have already been investigated. They only need to take three tests and there is no need to read out their names.
The first one to step forward was a cultivator at the third level of the Life Tribulation Realm. He hit the Taihe Bell with one punch, not daring to hide his weakness.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
In less than one ten-thousandth of a second, the Taihe Bell rang three times in succession.
"qualified!"
Zhao Sheng pointed to the passage on the right and asked him to go out from there and proceed to the second level of assessment.
With the previous example, the confidence of the disciples who followed increased greatly.
The second disciple who came on stage had a higher level of cultivation than the first one, having reached the fourth level of the Life Tribulation Realm. He also hit the Taihe Bell with one punch.
"Qiang..."
After ringing once, the Taihe Bell fell silent, leaving the man standing in front of the Taihe Bell with a look of surprise.
His cultivation was obviously higher than the previous person, so he couldn't understand why he could only ring the Taihe Bell once.
"Failed, take the left passage!"
Zhao Sheng had a blank expression on his face. Taihe Sect was very strict in recruiting disciples. They didn't even have the right to interfere with the first condition. Only those who were recognized by the Taihe Bell were eligible to join Taihe Sect.
The man left with a dejected look on his face. Before leaving, he took a reluctant look at the Taihe Bell.
The tests were carried out one after another at an extremely fast speed. There were failures and successes. Most of them had between three and four beeps, and very few reached five.
There were quite a few disciples who were at the first and second level. Zhao Sheng gave those disciples who were at the second level two two choices: to stay and become menial disciples, or to choose to leave.
Menial disciples have no status, but if they are lucky and receive some rewards and their cultivation breaks through to the high-level life-disaster realm, they still have a chance to become formal disciples of Taihe Sect.
Examples of this happen every year.
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon and the assessment had only been completed about one-third of the way.
Those invited disciples were lined up at the back, and it would probably be their turn until tomorrow.
Liu Wuxie was not in a hurry either. He was thinking about how much force he should use.
With his talent, it should be no problem for him to make Taihe Zhong Liuying respond.
During this day, he kept thinking about what Li Zhuo said before he left. Without absolute strength, one must learn to be humble.
If you show enough talent, you may attract the attention of some senior executives, but it may also bring you a lot of trouble.
If a powerful person really wanted him to be his disciple and asked him to hand over the Holy Dragon Tower, would he hand it over or not?
If you don’t hand it in, you’re going against the master’s orders; if you hand it in, you’re going against your original intention.
Liu Wuxie must think these issues through carefully. No matter which option he chooses, it will be difficult for him.
Before they knew it, it was already evening. The test was one-third complete and more than ten thousand disciples had been eliminated.
