After the peak showdown between Liu Li and Wang Lu, and after experiencing Wang Lu's ten consecutive victories on the Grand Cloud Platform, the spectators from all over the world left the mountain one after another — in fact, even if they wanted to stay, there was no way. Lingjian School was not a park where people could stroll around whenever they wanted.
With the departure of a large number of spectators, the exchange between the Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Lingjian School also quietly came to an end.
Although according to the rules, there was still a five-on-five team battle between the two sects to compete, the interest of the cultivators of the two sects inevitably faded. As for this team battle, people mostly treated it as the aftertaste of the climax.
Even the participating disciples didn't pay too much attention to this matter. The Ten Thousand Arts Sect, on the other hand, slightly rubbed their fists, wanting to wash away their previous shame. However, their preparation for the match was not too active.
The team fight between the two sects began on time two days later. This match actually had the ideal harmonious atmosphere of friendship first and competition second. The disciples of the two sects went all out, yet there wasn't much murderous aura. In this match, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect really played their due imposing manner. The five disciples cooperated with each other tacitly, and their spells emerged one after another, which dazzled the spectators and made them gasp in amazement.
The Lingjian School's cooperation appeared to be a bit inferior. Not long after the fight began, Wen Bao and Yue Yun were regretfully and unwillingly blasted out of the arena by Zhan Ziye's annihilation thunder. During this period, although Wang Lu had the intention to rescue them, even if he had the Big Heart Demon Oath to strengthen his Non-Phase Method, it was still beyond his ability to protect the four of them in front of Zhan Ziye, Ye Feifei, and the others.
In the middle of the fight, even Yue Xinyao had no choice but to withdraw. The Lingjian School only had Liu Li and Wang Lu, while the Ten Thousand Arts Sect had five people, none of them were defeated.
At this point, people thought that the Ten Thousand Arts Sect would smoothly win and save some face. However, the result was unexpected.
Because no matter what, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect couldn't deal with the remaining two.
Not to mention Wang Lu, even Liu Li's Brilliant Sword Heart couldn't do anything to his Three Feet Sword Defense. Zhan Ziye and Ye Feifei had tried to bombard it with their strongest method, but it didn't budge at all. Although Liu Li wasn't good at defense, the twelve flying swords were not that easy to deal with. Not to mention, although Wang Lu couldn't protect all four of them, he could easily protect Liu Li with his Non-Phase Sword Qi.
After being entangled for a while, the advantage of Wang Lu and Liu Li in a protracted fight was manifested. On the Ten Thousand Arts Sect's side, the most important defender, Lu Qiancai, had exhausted his talismans and could no longer protect his teammates from the Brilliant Sword Heart. Therefore, several of his Senior and Junior Brothers were killed one by one by Liu Li. Finally, Zhan Ziye tried to repeat the same old trick by using the annihilation thunder to perish together with his opponent. As a result, Wang Lu enthusiastically rushed forward and tightly hugged him. The raging thunder power was completely stifled, which nearly caused Zhan Ziye's Jade Mansion to collapse and his primordial spirit to collapse.
The Ten Thousand Arts Sect had nothing to say after losing both the single fight and the team fight. Thus, the several Senior and Junior Brothers decided to endure the humiliation and return to the mountain for closed-door training. They would endure the hardships and wait for the next day to take revenge.
Before leaving, the Lingjian School organized the disciples to go to the Four Divisions Peak to see them off. The two sides exchanged farewell words, which was a sincere and touching scene.
"Three years later … no, one year later, I will visit you again." Zhan Ziye's complexion was solemn, with an unyielding fighting spirit, trying to conceal the tension and palpitation in his heart. "Liu Li, when the time comes, I will not lose to you again!"
The girl tilted her head with a puzzled look. "But one year later, you will definitely lose to me again."
Zhan Ziye didn't expect that his innocent confession would get such a reply. He stiffened his neck and said, "That's not necessarily true!"
Standing on the side, Wang Lu, who also saw off the guests, could not help but sigh, deeply lamenting the IQ of these good-for-nothing nerds of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect.
"Senior Sister Liu Li, that grandson said that the next time he comes, he wants to invite you to barbecue."
The girl's eyes suddenly became clear and bright, and her smile was as bright as a flower. "Okay, okay, you're welcome to come again at any time!"
With that, she stretched out her pair of slender jade-like hands, tightly grasped Zhan Ziye's hand, and then swung it up and down. "That's a deal. Next time you come, you must invite me to eat barbecue!"
Zhan Ziye instantly felt that his sincere heart was being twisted and stirred by two completely opposite feelings. One was called the happiness brought by the touch of a gentle and exquisite little hand, and the other was called the pain that seemed hopeless in this lifetime. In next to no time, his pure and childlike heart shattered into bits and pieces, as if it had suffered a severe blow that wasn't inferior to the Enlightened Sword Heart.
In addition, Hai Yunfan was also filled with emotion. "Brother Wang, you've taught me another lesson."
"Little Hai, when did I sleep with you? Don't talk nonsense. "
"... Hehe." Hai Yunfan tried hard to make himself laugh. "Seriously, since I left the Spirit Sword Mountain five years ago, I've been thinking, if I didn't go to the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, but instead became Brother Wang's Martial Brother, what would it be like?"
Wang Lu frowned and took half a step back. "Little Hai, to tell you the truth, your current appearance makes me a bit uncomfortable."
Hai Yunfan decided to ignore Wang Lu and continued to say, "Because of this, I've been tangled for a long time, but now I'm relieved. Compared to being your Martial Brother, it's more interesting to be your opponent … Of course, I don't want to be your enemy."
Opponent and enemy, these were indeed two completely different concepts.
"Next time we meet, I will try my best not to lose to you." After saying that, Hai Yunfan shook his head. "Of course, for a loser to say such a line would only make people laugh. However, the declaration must be said. Brother Wang, I look forward to our next meeting. "
Wang Lu looked at Little Hai. "Okay."
"Oh, I almost forgot, this time, I have a gift for you." Hai Yunfan handed a piece of sincerity paper to Wang Lu. "It may be useful to you."
Wang Lu took it and found that it was the royal seal of the Grand Cloud Empire; he couldn't help but smile.
Little Hai was indeed Little Hai; when it was time to be considerate, he was especially considerate. With the royal seal of the Grand Cloud Empire, the Wisdom Sect's cross-state business would go to another level. Nowadays, Wang Lu didn't need other resources, especially spirit stones, but this royal seal, which couldn't be easily bought with money.
After sending away the people of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, the Lingjian School once again became deserted. In this short period of half a month, a lot of things had happened. When the Cloud Wave Boat gradually went away under the golden sunshine, many people felt heartfelt exhaustion.
However, exhaustion was exhaustion, the finishing work still needed to be done.
For example, the gambling settlement of a certain crazy gambler. In the duel between Wang Lu and Liu Li, he bet nearly one hundred million spirit stones, which was the biggest gamble in the Blue River Region in the past decades. In the end, he won more than one hundred million spirit stones, which could be called incomparably rich. Such a huge amount of money was something that even the Mysterious Sky Mansion couldn't come up with in a short time. Finally, the person in charge of the Blue River Region personally delivered more than one hundred first rate mysterious sky crystals, which shocked countless people.
According to the prior agreement, Wang Lu gave fifty of them to his Master. The woman was so happy that on the spot, she announced that she would immediately marry him, which made the person in charge of the Mysterious Sky Mansion extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, the woman's ambition was beaten back by the Sect Leader and the Disciplinary Elder, and only then did she let it go.
The poor suddenly became rich; the Fifth Elder had completely lost the calmness that a Daoist Master of Immortal Cultivation should have. She put away the fifty mysterious sky crystals and happily rode her flying sword down the mountain, saying that she wanted to carefully enjoy life. More than ten days later, the woman in white returned to the mountain. Surprisingly, she once again lived a poor and happy life.
Wang Lu was very curious about this. In just ten days, she was able to see through the world of mortals, how could this woman's self-cultivation be so good? However, when he asked, the answer he got was like a thunderclap.
"I've spent all my money, so I had to come back."
Spent all my money!?
Wang Lu couldn't help but prostrate himself in admiration. In just ten days, she had spent tens of millions of spirit stones!?
However, before he could exclaim in surprise, he heard his Master's gentle and creepy question, "Little Lu Er, when will our marriage be held?"
Wang Lu loudly cursed, "When you pick up your moral integrity!"
Actually, at this time, Wang Lu was also out of money. During the days when his Master went down the mountain, he had continuously transferred all of his winnings to the Wisdom Sect to accelerate its development. This rapidly growing sect was currently in a state of capital hunger, so no matter how much money it was, it could be digested. Wang Lu firmly believed that when the Wisdom Sect blossomed and bore fruit, his investment at this time would be several times more than before.
In any case, the story of the Master and disciple of the Non-Phase Peak squandering hundreds of millions of spirit stones in just ten days had become the glorious legend of the Spirit Sword Mountain.
After that, there was the issue of the sect's lead disciple.
In order to encourage the disciples to work hard, the Lingjian School's Heavenly Sword Hall, under the suggestion of Wang Lu, established the lead disciple system. And the champion of the single fight in the sect's competition would have the authority of the lead disciple for ten years.
Although there was a great controversy in the final fight, Wang Lu's victory was beyond doubt. Therefore, in the midst of the discussion, the Sect Leader Feng Yin Daoist Master, on behalf of all the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, conferred the title of lead disciple to Wang Lu.
The conferment ceremony was held quietly outside the Sect Leader's bamboo room on the Stellar Peak. There were only a few people present. Originally, the Lingjian School intended to gather all the disciples at the Four Divisions Peak to announce the candidate of the lead disciple, in order to stimulate the morale. However, who told Wang Lu, this lead disciple, to come out of nowhere, so the grand ceremony had to be hastily canceled.
For Wang Lu, the special authority of the lead disciple was far more meaningful than the grand ceremony, and he never cared what other people thought of him. After receiving the gold medal that symbolized the honor of the lead disciple from Feng Yin Daoist Master's hand, Wang Lu was ready to go down the mountain.
However, he heard Feng Yin say with a smile, "Hehe, don't you want to accompany this new Master to chat?"
The sect's lead disciple was only restricted by the Sect Leader, so in theory, he was equal to the Sect Leader's disciple. Since Feng Yin Daoist Master said so, Wang Lu had to stop and smiled back. "If you have something to say, please say it."
Outside the bamboo room, the old man and Wang Lu sat side by side. The old man was silent for a long time and then slowly said, "It has been more than five years since you entered the Lingjian School. However, the scene of you overcoming all the difficulties in the Immortal Path is still fresh in my memory. At that time, by a freak combination of factors, I almost made a big mistake by rejecting you outside the door. Even now, I still feel scared when I think about it."
Wang Lu smiled. "Is it that serious? Lingjian School is full of talented people. Senior Sister Liu Li, and that Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao, whom I haven't seen for five years, are not below me. If any of the other sects could have one of them, they would be able to settle the world. In fact, it's not a big deal for Lingjian School to lack me. " After a pause, Wang Lu seriously said, "On the contrary, if I didn't cultivate the Non-Phase Method here, I would definitely not have today's achievements. I am very clear about this."
Feng Yin Daoist Master's eyes revealed an incomparable gratification. "It's not easy for you to think so. However, you don't have to belittle yourself. Although little Liu Li and Yao 'Er are the first class geniuses in Nine Regions, the future of Lingjian School still depends on you. "
Wang Lu was silent for a moment and then said, "Sect Leader, could it be that Lingjian School recently failed in its investment and needs urgent capital injection?"
Feng Yin jokingly scolded, "You, this kid, no matter how down and out Lingjian School is, it's not as greedy for your private money. What's more, do you really think a mere few hundred mysterious sky crystals can support the operation of one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League? "
Wang Lu said, "I'm just stating my position, please continue."
Feng Yin said, "In this Nine Regions, every few hundred or thousands of years, there will be a glorious era where heroes come forth in large numbers. Now, with the growth of your generation of young people, I'm afraid the glorious and turbulent era is not far away. Little Liu Li and Yao 'Er are the top cultivators, but their flaws are also very serious. They can't support the sky of Lingjian School. Therefore … today, I confer the honor of the lead disciple to you. I hope that in the future, you can live up to this title and become the worthy lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect. "
Wang Lu was silent for a moment and then said to the Sect Leader with a smile, "Rest assured, I like this mountain very much. I like this sect and the people in this sect very much."
Feng Yin suddenly asked, "So, what about your Master?"
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment and then somewhat embarrassedly said, "Well, if one day, she and my mother fall into the river together, I can consider saving my mother first, and then hit her with a brick!"
This time, it was the Sect Leader's turn to fall into silence. After a long time, the old man sighed with emotion.
"In her life, she seems to be free and easy, but in fact, she's lonely. You … better take care of yourself."
