When Taoist Mo heard the bell, he didn't have time to talk to Feng Zhen anymore. He hurriedly rode his cloud and rushed to Molten Smoke Island. Feng Zhen followed closely behind. The two of them broke through the clouds and chased after the wind. When the bell rang for the second time, they landed on Molten Smoke Island Just Now.
Dozens of disciples were already standing in front of the Roaring Fire Palace. When the two of them pressed down the cloud, they walked to the front of the palace and looked up the jade steps. They saw Du De sitting high up on the steps, dressed in a plain straight robe. His hair was tied up in a high bun with a vermillion hairpin. He didn't have any accessories on him. Although there was no joy or anger on his face, the disciples below him all stood upright, not daring to make a sound.
Taoist Mo and Feng Zhen hurriedly came forward to greet him. Du De glanced at them casually, but his eyes only lingered on Feng Zhen for a moment. He waved his sleeve and said indifferently, "The two of you, stand to the side and wait for my orders."
The two of them carefully got up and took a few steps back, standing together with their fellow disciples.
After that, more and more disciples came. When the second bell rang, there were already a hundred and seven disciples on the island.
According to the rules of the palace, everyone had to gather before the bell rang for the third time. Otherwise, they would be severely punished. But at this time, Du De suddenly asked, "Who else hasn't arrived?"
The attendant boy had already seen it clearly and knew what was going on. He immediately turned around and reported, "Master, there are still fifteen people who haven't arrived. They are …"
Du Qin waved her hand and said indifferently, "No need to say more. The rest will be expelled from the sect. If they dare to take a step into Molten Smoke Island in the future, they will be executed immediately!"
When these words came out, the hearts of the disciples below the platform trembled. They secretly thought that they were lucky.
Taoist Mo and Feng Hou were covered in cold sweat. They looked at each other in fear. Fortunately, they knew that this teacher was strict with his disciples and was temperamental. That was why they rushed over. If they were a little late, they would probably end up like this too!
It seemed like these disciples were all clinging to Du De, so the clan could support them. However, if they lost their master's favor and were expelled from the clan, even if they returned to the clan, there would be no future for them, and no one would argue for them.
Du De stood up from the couch, his sleeves naturally dragging along the ground. His emotionless gaze swept downwards.
His white robes were whiter than snow, and his figure was tall and slender. Although he looked a little frail, he exuded an imposing aura as he stood there. All the disciples in the hall felt their hearts skip a beat, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
Du De took a look and said, "Disciples of the Fireworks Palace, follow me to the competition."
He turned around and boarded a red maned Qilin flying carriage. Starting the engine, in a split second the smoke and clouds dispersed and soared into the sky.
After a few breaths, a loud noise was heard on the island, as if a cauldron had been opened and a cauldron had been flipped over, sparks were flying everywhere. The disciples all got up into the smoke and followed behind. Hundreds of red lights flew out from the Fiery Island, bringing with them a dozen miles of black smoke, burning the sky and rushing towards Honglie and Lu Hong.
There was still one more day until the competition, so there was no need to rush. Du De walked at a leisurely pace.
When there was still half of the journey, he suddenly saw colorful lights on the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, a large cloud of wind and clouds had arrived.
In the lead was a long-bearded man with a dignified appearance. He was also sitting on a flying carriage, coming from the east. Behind him, there seemed to be thousands of misty and colorful clouds. He was also followed by more than a hundred disciples, each of them in a high-spirited manner. Flying lights and smoke rolled here and there, spreading out for a few miles.
When the man saw Du De, his eyes lit up. He stood up and greeted, "I thought I was early, but I didn't expect Brother Du to be one step ahead of me."
Du De looked at the man and stopped the flying carriage. He indifferently returned the greeting and said, "So it is Brother Xiao Sa. I heard that there is a change of master this time. As a disciple, how dare I not be the first to arrive?"
Xiao Sa didn't mind Du De's cold expression at all. He laughed and agreed, "That's true. As disciples, we must do our duty and observe etiquette. Brother Xiao Sa, since we met halfway, why don't we go together?"
Du De didn't refuse, and they both sat back in their chairs. The two flying carriages moved side by side.
Although the disciples behind him also followed together, even though they were in a group, they were like two torrents that were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other.
Xiao Sa seemed to be in a good mood. After chatting with Du De for a while, he said, "This competition is different from the past. Does Brother Du have any intention of moving your seat?"
Du De calmly said, "Brother Qi doesn't need to be mentioned. For hundreds of years, no one has been able to defeat him. As for the other two brothers, their Fa Li and cultivation are far better than mine. I don't have such extravagant thoughts. However, I heard that Brother Xiao Sa's cultivation has improved. If you want, I can let you go."
Xiao Sa laughed loudly and shook his head. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Du, don't joke. I am not as good as you, but I am more than enough. Why should I be greedy?"
Du De coldly said, "The world is changing. Even if you want to keep your selfish side, I am afraid there will be people who won't let you have your way."
Xiao Sa raised his eyebrows. His eyes flashed like lightning, and his body emitted an awe-inspiring aura. He said, "Brother, are you talking about Huang Fuzhou? Haha, this person is not bad. He is worthy to be my opponent. If he can kill his way to me, I will give him a chance. "
Du De said, "The Master and disciple Sect is pressing me. Brother Xiao Sa must have been warned by the Master and should know what to do. There is no need for me to say more …"
Xiao Sa glanced at Du De, stroked his long beard, and muttered. Master and disciple have indeed produced many outstanding disciples in recent years. Leaving aside Junior Brother Ning, I have heard that one of them managed to achieve a Grade 1 Dan. This is a rare occurrence throughout the ages and cannot be underestimated. Oh, that's right, this person seems to have killed two of Senior Brother's disciples.
Du De did not answer. His eyes were deep like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Xiao Sa's eyes showed a hint of pondering, but then he smiled carelessly and did not continue to ask. He only controlled the flying carriage to move forward.
When they reached the Honglie Lu Hong, the two went deep into the river. Along the way, their momentum was impressive, and the spirit beasts and strange birds avoided them.
After a moment, ten peaks appeared in the clouds in front of them, forming a circle. Each of them was majestic and magnificent. In the middle, there was only a piece of white land, piled up with a ten feet high earth platform. The platform was arranged according to Xuan Li's odd numbers, and there were many formation flags.
The two arrived in front of the peak in a flash. At this time, Du De looked in one direction.
He saw that on the flat ground in the distance, the wind was endless, the dust was swirling, and there seemed to be thousands of pearls shining brightly. The smoke followed the flowing light, and the shadow flew thousands of feet. In a flash, it climbed up the sixth peak, and then slowly descended. When the dust settled, the fog and smoke dispersed, but there was a warm light, reflecting the whole peak like a pile of jade.
Xiao Sa drove the flying carriage forward a little, as if he wanted to take a closer look.
He knew that such a scene was not something that a single person could create. Just like them, it was a gathering of over a hundred disciples. However, there was still a solemn look in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Zhuang Buji's cultivation has improved over the years and he cannot be underestimated. Since he is here, I believe that Luo Qing Yu should have arrived long ago."
His gaze turned and looked towards the eighth peak, and sure enough, he saw luxuriant and luxuriant foliage, clear leaves fluttering in the wind, and green mist hanging down like tassels, rippling with the wind. He couldn't help but nod, and then he looked towards the seventh, ninth, and tenth peaks. He saw multicolored light shining brightly, and each had a strange phenomenon, so he said, "Junior Martial Sister Han, Junior Martial Brother Su and Junior Martial Brother Fang have come as well."
Du De's tone did not change, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiao Sa, let's settle down."
Xiao Sa nodded, and the two of them did not say much. They each went their own way, and the disciples who were originally on the same path also went their separate ways, and followed their own masters.
Xiao Sa landed on the fifth peak, and in a split second, thousands of golden lights shone, and it was dazzling, and the momentum was pressing, as if it wanted to suppress the momentum of the fifth peak.
As for Du De, he landed on the fourth peak, and the whole peak was like a burning candle. A red light shot up to the sky, and dyed the clouds red, and the sky was red.
With this momentum, except for the first three peaks, which were silent, the rest of the peaks could not compare.
Xiao Sha sat on the stone platform on the peak. He carefully observed the fierce red light and pointed at it with his finger. He said, "Strange, Du De's disciples have made a lot of progress. I originally thought that he didn't have the heart to teach his disciples, but now it seems that there are a few who have made great progress."
Behind him stood a man in a green robe, dressed like a scholar. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were bright. He looked up and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it is the master's order, so I have to obey."
Xiao Sha nodded his head in deep thought. Although they, the top ten disciples, usually had their own territory in the sect, there were always masters above them. There were some things that they couldn't do as they pleased, but if an order came down, they had to obey it.
Today's competition was a chess game between the master and the aristocratic families of Xuanmen. In order to gain the upper hand, they had already secretly used all kinds of methods.
Not far from the ten peaks, on the south side, there was another mountain. On top of it, there was a stargazing platform. It was carved with jade, and it was crystal clear like ice. On top of it sat a man of Daoren, who had white hair and a red face. He looked at the distant peaks, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Seven of the top ten disciples have arrived. Tong Er, you can go and ring the golden bell."
Tong Er was stunned, and said, "Elder, Spiritual Master Qi has not arrived yet. Isn't it too early to gather the disciples?"
Daoren smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go and ring it. I have my reasons."
Tong Er did not insist. He bowed, accepted the order, and went to ring the golden bell.
Not long after, a long and melodious sound of the bell rang. In an instant, it spread throughout the sect, and all the disciples of Qincang School heard it.
As the bell rang, a wisp of smoke flew out from the hundreds of islands in the vast Great Dragon Abyss Lake. They tore through the air towards Hong Lie and Lu Hong. There were also tens of thousands of streaks of light that rose into the air. Although they were slower than the flying smoke, they still followed behind them.
For a moment, the flowing lights flew across the sky like stars in the Milky Way, illuminating the sky and shining down on the Great Lake.
Zhang Yan was originally meditating in the building when he suddenly heard the bell ringing in his ears. His eyes suddenly opened and flashed with a bright light that was a foot long. Then, it disappeared.
He stood up, and with a clear whistle, clouds and mist appeared under his feet, and a light smoke lifted him up into the sky. After slightly identifying the direction, he activated the Stars Sword Pill, and in an instant, his body and sword became one. He turned into a shocking long rainbow, suddenly broke through the atmosphere, and flew straight towards the place where the bell rang.
