Seven days later, the forge room.
Qin Tiexin is concentrating on carving Spirit Rune on a palm-sized piece of iron. The Spiritual Qi engraving knife condensed on the fingertips is stable and precise, and the metal watch is carved with Qin Tiexin. Spirit Rune walked away from the surface, leaving behind traces of smooth and smooth Spirit Rune lines. In the room, only the subtle "sizzling" sound of Spirit Rune's carvings could be heard, as well as his own gentle breathing.
At this moment, his arms felt slightly warm.
The movement paused, he put down the iron piece, and took out the communication jade talisman belonging to Luo Ling Peak from his arms. The jade talisman was emitting a soft white light and vibrating slightly.
With the injection of spiritual power, Nangong Yao's voice came out clearly from the jade talisman with a hint of rare seriousness. "Junior brother, the sect leader summons all the elders and representatives of the inner sect's peaks to immediately go to the main peak conference hall to discuss matters. Master and Senior Brother Chen have not returned from the trip, so you and I need to go to the peak."
The summons ends here.
Qin Tiexin put away the jade talisman, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. Seven days later, the sect leader finally came back. He quickly cleaned the forging table, put on clean sect clothes, put Edgeless on his back, and pushed out the door.
Meet Nangong Yao at the foot of the peak. Nangong Yao was wearing a light cyan corset today, with a Flowing Cloud sash tied around her waist. Her hair was simply pulled up, with a green jade hairpin she made by herself, making her look neat and smart. She saw Qin Tiexin, walked closer quickly and lowered his voice. "I have also just received the formal notice from the Deacon Hall. There is no leakage of the specific matter. However, Master Jianyun suddenly left the sect with his sword seven days ago and returned today. Then he summoned everyone... I'm afraid it is no small matter."
Qin Tiexin nodded and said nothing. The two of them walked side by side and walked quickly towards the main peak.
The main peak meeting hall is solemn and solemn. When Qin Tiexin and Nangong Yao arrived, there were many people in the hall. On the first two rows of rosewood chairs, the elders of the Golden Core Realm had already arrived one after another. All of them had deep auras and serious expressions. On both sides of the lower body were representatives of inner disciple sent by each peak. They were all at least Foundation Establishment Realm. They were in groups of three or five, chatting in low voices, and the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.
Luo Ling Peak is a special situation. Peak Master True Person Luo Ling went out and did not return. Senior brother Chen Xi went out. Core Formation. Uncle Wu Zhen is a guest and does not participate in such discussions. Therefore, on behalf of Those attending the table Luo Ling Peak are Nangong Yao of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and... Qin Tiexin of Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
When the two walked into the hall, many eyes were cast over them. When they fell on Nangong Yao, they were mostly friendly or appreciative; but when they saw the burly figure following them, carrying a heavy sword on his back, but he only had the cultivation level of Qi Refining When Qin Tiexin appeared, many disciples showed obvious surprise in their eyes, and some even looked at him with scrutiny and confusion. Among all the people present, Qin Tiexin was the only Qi Refinement Realm.
Nangong Yao looked as usual and led Qin Tiexin to the position belonging to Luo Ling Peak and stood there. He also quietly winked at Qin Tiexin, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention to those looks.
After a while, the bell rang three times.
The hall instantly became quiet. All eyes turned to the main seat.
True Person Jianyun slowly walked out of the back hall. He was still dressed in moon-white robes, with a young and handsome face, but there was a lingering solemnity between his eyebrows. When his eyes swept across His Highness, the invisible majesty of Golden Core Peak, the master of a sect, made everyone straighten their backs subconsciously.
He did not sit down, but stood in front of the main seat, looking around the audience calmly, getting straight to the point, and his voice was clear but clearly reached everyone's ears:
"Everyone is summoned today to report something and to discuss the sect's important matters." He paused briefly and continued, "I think there is already a rumor among you. Seven days ago, Qin Tiexin, a disciple of our sect Luo Ling Peak, while performing a mission at Mystic Rock Valley, discovered and killed one... Devil Race."
As soon as the word "Devil Race" came out, there was an uncontrollable low-pitched exclamation and discussion in the hall!
"Devil Race? How is that possible!"
"Isn't Wind and Snow Pass always impenetrable? How can Devil Race penetrate deep into my Azure Xuan Region hinterland?"
"Is it a mistake? Maybe it's some kind of mutation Demon Beast?"
An elder Golden Core with a serious face and a strong breath couldn't help but speak with a loud voice, "Sect Master, this matter is not trivial! Wind and Snow Pass is a human race Northern Frontier The barrier is guarded by Azure Xuan Region each sect in turn in cooperation with the Ice and Snow Pavilion, and has never failed. If Devil Race really sneaks in here, wouldn't the barrier be in vain?"
True Person Jianyun raised his hand, an invisible pressure quietly filled the air, and the discussion in the hall quickly subsided. He looked at the elder and nodded slowly. "Elder Wang is absolutely right, this matter is indeed not a trivial matter. This is why I have been going north for seven days."
His eyes became deep, as if Penetration had entered the main hall and looked towards the far north. "I have verified and exchanged information with the Ice and Snow Pavilion Master and Wind and Snow Pass digital guard elders face to face. It has been confirmed that Devil Race has successfully developed a... small space teleportation tool suitable for their physique."
"This tool," True Person Jianyun's voice was cold, "The principle is similar to our human race's Teleportation Talisman, but it is more crude and has great limitations. According to the current information, its transmission ability is limited, and it can only transmit 'mid-level Demon General'--quite The following Devil Race individuals from our human race are Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. And the cost of use is high. It will cause great damage to the user's strength and even damage the original source. It requires swallowing a large number of living creatures Essence Blood to recover slowly. It can only be used to escape."
He paused and pointed in the direction of His Highness Qin Tiexin: "The Blood Devil that Qin Tiexin encountered Demon General, was outside Wind and Snow Pass, and was severely injured by our human patrol monks. When he was about to die, he hastily activated this thing. As a result, there was a serious deviation in the transmission, and he failed to return to the Demon Realm. Instead, by some strange combination of circumstances, he fell directly into our territory, Azure Xuan Region, and fled to the vicinity of Maple Creek Village."
True Person Jianyun's narration is clear and calm, and outlines a clear outline of a seemingly unbelievable event. "This demon's strength was greatly damaged, its wings were broken during the transmission process, one of the bone horns on its forehead was also damaged, and its realm fell. It lurked in a remote cave and controlled low-level Demon Beast Shadow Fox secretly sucked the energy of the villagers in an attempt to recover. In the end, Qin Tiexin, who was on a mission, found the trace and traced it all the way to the canyon, killing him."
In order to explain more intuitively, True Person Jianyun turned his right hand, and a simple storage ring flickered. The next moment, a relatively complete corpse appeared in the open space in the center of the hall.
This is also a Blood Devil! The figure is taller and burlier, the black lines under the dark blue skin are deeper and more complex, the horns on the forehead are complete and sharp, and the pair of flesh wings spread out on the back and covered with dark red skin are intact. Although it is dead, it still exudes a heart-stopping and ferocious aura. The remaining fluctuations around its body have suddenly reached the level of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!
"This is a mid-level Demon General that guard Wind and Snow Pass killed recently. Both wings are intact and in complete condition." True Person Jianyun pointed at the corpse on the ground and looked at Qin Tiexin, "No one has seen the one Qin Tiexin killed. His body has been handed over to Wind and Snow Pass for confirmation of identity. However, its appearance should be similar to this demon, except that its wings are broken at the roots, its aura is decayed, and its strength is completely gone."
He changed the topic and his eyes fell on Qin Tiexin. In his solemnity, for the first time, there was a clear hint of appreciation. "However, even Devil Race, whose strength has been greatly damaged and is on the verge of decline, Demon General, who is fierce, cunning, and unafraid of death, is also an unusual opponent for the disciples of Qi Refining. Qin Tiexin, with the cultivation level of Qi Refining Sixth Layer, is calm in the face of danger, sees the opportunity, and finally kills him alone. This is not a fluke, but is actually a manifestation of the courage, determination, and cultivation foundation."
All the eyes in the hall were focused on Qin Tiexin at this moment. The original surprise and confusion were gradually replaced by shock, realization, and recognition. Killing a Devil Race Demon General alone, even if it was a weak one, this record was enough to win the respect of most people present.
True Person Jianyun said no more and directly announced, "You will be rewarded for your merits. Qin Tiexin discovered that Devil Race had infiltrated and successfully killed him, eliminating the hidden danger before it happened. This is a tribute to the sect and to Azure Xuan Region. Hereby rewards -"
Three items appeared in his palm:
A dark silver ring with a simple style and hidden cloud patterns; a bulging Spirit Stone bag; and a dark red token that is neither gold nor jade, engraved with the imprint of Flowing Cloud.
"A top-grade storage ring, with inner space, is comparable to thirty ordinary Storage Bag."
"Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, one thousand yuan."
"Curios Pavilion is a special token. With this token, you can choose any rare item below the second level in the pavilion."
The reward was announced, and a low gasp sounded in the hall. A top-grade storage ring is worth far more than ordinary storage Law Artifact; one thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stone is a huge sum of money for a Foundation Establishment disciple; and the Curios Pavilion selection qualification is a priceless opportunity! The reward from the sect master is nothing short of Heaviness!
Qin Tiexin took a deep breath, and under the gaze of many eyes, he stepped forward steadily, walked to the center of the hall, bowed to True Person Jianyun first, then took the three rewards with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Disciple Qin Tiexin, thank the sect master for the reward."
His voice was not loud, but steady and powerful. His face was calm, not too excited, and he just put the reward away carefully. This calmness made the eyes of the elders above him even more appreciative.
Nangong Yao stood where Luo Ling Peak was, looking at his junior brother's back, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a proud arc, and quietly gave him a thumbs up.
True Person Jianyun nodded slightly, signaling Qin Tiexin to return to its position.
When Qin Tiexin stood back next to Nangong Yao, the trace of approval on True Person Jianyun's face quickly disappeared and was replaced by solemnity again. He looked around the audience, his voice suddenly became more solemn, and he said clearly, word for word:
"Devil Race space tool appears, and the border situation has changed. Next, another sect resolution is announced--"
The sound of needle drops could be heard in the hall instantly, and everyone had a premonition that a real storm was coming.
"Originally, according to the rotation agreement of each Azure Xuan Region sect, three years later, it will be my turn, Flowing Cloud Sect, to send disciples to Northern Frontier Wind and Snow Pass is stationed." True Person Jianyun's gaze was like a sword, sweeping over every elder and disciple representative, "However, Devil Race has made changes today and infiltration has occurred. In order to consolidate the border defense and cope with the changes, we jointly decided after urgent discussions with Azure Xuan Region each sect--"
He paused and spoke like nails:
"The rotation period of each sect is in advance!"
"After half a month, I, Flowing Cloud Sect, need to immediately mobilize more than three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, led by five Golden Core elders, to go to Northern Frontier Wind and Snow Pass--"
"Stand for three years!"
