Chapter 35 Forced to Fight
A moment later, Li Fei and others came to the gate of Lingyun Sect. It was actually just a symbolic gate. Apart from the tall and majestic archway, there was no such thing as a wall.
The stone steps continued to extend inward, but only a few feet away from the archway became blurred. There were ten disciples of Lingyun Sect on duty in front of the archway. The leader had the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building. He was a middle-aged man with beards, and the others were young disciples of the chemical martial arts stage.
"Welcome to Lingyun Sect! Deacon Cao and Fairy Yang have not been here for a long time, so I miss you very much." The middle-aged man with bearded politely bowed with fists and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Cao Lei, the outer sect of Wanhua Sect, and his junior sister, were ordered by his master to meet Elder Ouyang." Cao Lei said lightly after giving a tribute.
"Old friend, Deacon Cao doesn't have to be so polite. Please follow Master Lin to Elder Ouyang's cave." The middle-aged man with beard smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's not easy for me to come out, so before coming, I will be planning to organize a small trade fair in the Lingyun Sect with some good fellow Taoists. If you are interested, please come and participate." Cao Lei suddenly sent a voice to Li Fei before leaving.
"Thank you, Brother Cao! I'm a new arrival. It depends on the situation. Anyway, I have the notes you gave you before. If you go, I will contact you." Li Fei replied with a voice transmission.
The reason why Li Fei did not agree was because so long has passed and there was no news about Xue'er, and his heart was already starting to be upset...
Just as Cao Lei and Yang Li were about to enter the archway with Junior Brother Lin, the white mist in the archway rolled violently and quickly retreated to both sides...
After a moment, the white mist retreated, revealing a straight passage. A bald, slightly fat middle-aged Taoist priest came directly into the air. Just a flash, he appeared in front of Li Fei and others.
"Meet Elder Li!" The middle-aged man with beard led a group of Lingyun Sect disciples to salute the bald Taoist priest respectfully.
"Greetings to Senior." Li Fei and others hurriedly saluted because the powerful people who could fly in the air without using objects were supernatural powers that cultivators above the Killing Stage could only use.
"No need to be polite, you are Li Fei, right? What a clever disguise technique." Elder Li just nodded to Cao Lei and Yang Li, and his eyes stopped on Li Fei, looked at him for a moment, and said in surprise.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I forgot about it for a moment..." Li Fei shook his body, and instantly changed from a rough middle-aged man to an ordinary young man.
"Not bad! This disguise technique alone is quite extraordinary. Come with me." Elder Li praised and directly ordered Li Fei.
"Yes, thank you for your compliment, senior." Li Fei replied respectfully, then greeted Cao Lei and Yang Li, and quickly disappeared into the white mist with Elder Li.
"What is Li Fei's identity? Elder Li came to greet him personally?" A young Lingyun Sect disciple asked the middle-aged man with a beard in a low voice. Even Hu and Yang, who were about to leave, stopped and wanted to know the answer.
"Ask me, who will I ask? It's the first time I have seen fellow Daoist Li. Don't talk too much. Do your own thing well, it's better than anything else!" The middle-aged man in beard replied angrily, and at the same time he did not forget to teach the young disciple a lesson.
After passing through the thick fog area of about a hundred feet, Li Fei's eyes suddenly became clear. The sun was shining inside, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, like a paradise. Five huge peaks in the huge basin that could not be seen at first sight were penetrated directly into the sky, and there were vaguely visible cultivators in groups of three or three, controlling various sword lights.
"Your kid is so lucky. Come with me to meet the sect leader at the main peak in the middle. There are also several great elders who happen to be there, so let's get to know each other." Elder Li said to Li Fei kindly, and flew directly into the air.
Li Fei naturally did not dare to neglect and chased after him. It seemed that not too far, and Li Fei had to fly for an incense stick of time, but he was not walking in a straight line. There were obvious prohibition fluctuations in many places, and he needed to bypass the flight.
When he flew to the main peak area, Li Fei suddenly felt a powerful gravity coming upon him. The sword light paused, and after he forced himself to fly for a long distance, he could only land. After his feet were down to the ground, the gravity suddenly disappeared.
"The main areas have a flight prohibition. The road below is about to walk. It seems that your divine consciousness is also outstanding, otherwise you would have been unable to hold on." Elder Li praised, landed and accompanied Li Fei to the top of the peak without any haste.
"Elder Li has been awarded the award. The boy is not strong enough. Thank you for your hard work." Li Fei believed that Elder Li should be able to fly up easily and be willing to walk with him, the junior who had first met, should be in a good mood.
During the mountaineering process, Li Fei saw many courtyards and caves of cultivators. He encountered not many cultivators. He also found that the more he walked up, the more spiritual energy he became, and there were fewer courtyards and caves.
After about a meal, Li Fei followed Elder Li to the top of the peak. The peak was very vast. The first thing that caught my eye was a large square covering an area of hundreds of feet. Behind it was a huge building complex built along the mountain. It faced north and south, majestic and full of ancient atmosphere.
Li Fei observed for a while and sighed in his heart: "Lingyun Sect is of such a scale. I don't know what the headquarters of the super-powered Wanhua Sect is like..."
After passing through the square, Elder Li did not take Li Fei to the highest hall in the middle, but went to a small hill to the east, where a slightly smaller palace was built on the hill.
"Sect Master, I've brought Li Fei back, the young man is not bad." Before entering the hall gate, Elder Li shouted loudly and took Li Fei carelessly into the hall.
When Li Fei and Elder Li were about to arrive at the hall gate, one of them happened to enter the hall first.
"Come in, thank you Junior Brother Li for your hard work." A voice full of breath came out.
After entering the hall, Li Fei glanced quietly and found that Xueer was not there. Five people were sitting cross-legged in the hall. The headed erected hat and belt were wearing white robe, and she was extraordinary and could not tell her true age. For the other four, Li Fei could only see the upright side.
Elder Li found a futon next to the four elders and sat down cross-legged.
"Li Fei pays homage to the sect leader and to all the great elders!" After Li Fei and Elder Li took their seats, they saluted respectfully.
Then, Li Fei felt several powerful divine thoughts sweeping over him, one of which was particularly domineering, and his heart was sunk.
"I heard from Xue'er that with his strength in the late stage of chemical martial arts, he actually dealt with the "Four Evils" near the Dongfei Grand Canyon. The young hero is amazing." The gentle voice of the Sect Master Lingyun rang.
"The sect leader misunderstood. I can't have that kind of ability to defy the will. That was the result of my helping Xueer. There was a lot of luck in it." Li Fei replied carefully. Although he felt a little better, he was still wondering why there was a hostile divine thought just now.
"I personally express my gratitude to you for your help and the elixir you gave to Xueer!" Lingyun Sect said enthusiastically.
"Sect Master, I had no choice at that time. It was my honor to be able to fight with Xueer!" Li Fei raised his head, stared at the eyes of Sect Master Lingyun, and said firmly.
"Sect Master, I am also moved by Li Fei's actions, but I have never figured out that the 'Four Bed Bugs' all have the cultivation level of foundation building or above. The leader said that he could even compete with the monks in the late stage of foundation building. At that time, Xueer was seriously injured by a plot, and Yang Liu and the two girls were captured long ago. How could Li Fei kill the four extremely powerful people compared to him? I also understood it at that time, but they did not mention the details." The old man with the left head suddenly interrupted.
"I have the same problem. There are some challenges ahead, but at the same time, there are several challenges ahead and you can still win. I have never heard of them, so I really hope it can be verified." The gray-robed Taoist priest from the old man with horse faces agreed.
"The situation was special at that time, Xue'er had temporarily recovered her strength, and one of the four evil spirits was seriously injured. The evil spirit was too careless and ignored me directly, so she gave me a chance. In the real situation, I thought I could not take the blow from the evil spirit." Li Fei was silent for a while. To be honest, as for the specific combat methods, he naturally would not mention them.
"No matter how specific the details are, I don't think it's necessary to ask about it. I believe what Li Fei said is the truth." The calm and majestic voice of the Sect Master Lingyun sounded, affirming what Li Fei said, which ended the discussion on this issue.
Li Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After careful consideration, he was really worried. Fortunately, everyone here was old foxes, so he naturally understood that Li Fei had some secrets and didn't want to say them too specifically, but which cultivator has no secret of his own?...
"I discussed with several elders. Although Li Fei's cultivation is not enough, with Li Fei's contribution to me and to the sect, I suggest that Li Fei serve as the elder of the outer sect. As for the work he is responsible, he will decide after he is familiar with the situation of the sect. Deputy Master Xiong came a little late. Is there anything to add?" Sect Master Lingyun glanced at everyone and announced his arrangements for Li Fei directly.
"Since the sect leader has decided, I will naturally not object. But according to convention, the elders of the outer sect are at least held by disciples above the middle stage of the foundation building. Sometimes the tasks that need to be performed outside still need to be supported by strong strength. Li Fei has just entered the foundation building stage. I am worried about two things: one is that it is difficult to complete the task, and the other is that his subordinates are not convinced!" The old man with horse face hit Li Fei's weakness in a tepid place.
"Deputy Master Xiong, what are the tests required to be an elder of the outer sect?" Li Fei knew that he could not remain silent anymore, so he asked first.
Li Fei didn't care whether he was an elder of the outer sect, but now he knew that the old man on horse face turned out to be the deputy sect leader, and the old guy said he was obeying the arrangements of the Sect Master Lingyun, but in fact he embarrassed the Sect Master Lingyun. He thought to himself: "It seems that Lingyun Sect is not united. The proposal of the Sect Master Lingyun naturally thanks himself for saving Xueer, and he is willing to repay his kindness."
Now, Deputy Sect Master Xiong directly questioned the decision of Sect Master Lingyun in public. Li Fei felt that it was not just his own business, but it was related to the face and authority of Sect Master Lingyun. Therefore, Li Fei could only bite the bullet and stand up.
"It's very simple. As long as you can defeat or draw against any outer sect elder in public, it means that you have this ability, and those two problems will naturally not exist." Deputy Master Xiong said slowly.
