Tenth day
The person who spoke was none other than Shui Qianyue.
Standing in front of Chu Xingyun, her face was flushed red and her hands were tightly clenched. She seemed to have used up all her strength to walk in front of Chu Xingyun and say those words.
"This girl's cultivation is only at the fourth level of the Earth Spirit Realm. She actually wants to become a disciple?" At this moment, a voice came from the crowd. It was very weak, but Shui Qianyue's sharp senses caught it.
Instantly, her face turned pale. She lowered her head and felt an indescribable embarrassment in her heart.
"As long as you are an outer sect disciple, regardless of cultivation or age, you can become a disciple." Chu Xingyun's voice sounded at the right time, causing Shui Qianyue to suddenly raise her head. Her eyes were filled with joy.
Chu Xingyun turned his head and smiled at her. "Now, you are one of the disciples."
"Thank you, Sword Master Luo Yun!"
Staring at those familiar yet unfamiliar pitch-black eyes, Shui Qianyue's smile was like a flower. She excitedly retreated to Chu Xingyun's side. She couldn't help but glance at him from time to time. She actually felt a sense of happiness in her heart.
This was the first time she was so close to him.
"I am also willing to become a disciple!"
"I joined the Wanjian Pavilion to reach the peak of the Sword Dao. If I can listen to Sword Master Luo Yun's teachings, I will definitely improve!"
"If I can raise my Sword Dao, everything will be worth it!"
After Shui Qianyue became a disciple, many outer sect disciples took the initiative to step forward and walked in front of Chu Xingyun. However, these people's cultivations were generally not high. They were considered nameless in the outer sect.
"These people's talents are ordinary. Most of them became disciples just to establish connections. Moreover, the threshold to become a disciple is so low. It seems like there won't be any benefits."
Even more outer sect disciples chose to stay where they were and watch.
The same thought appeared in their minds at almost the same time. They did not have any thoughts about the position of a disciple. They felt that it was just pure hard work.
Chu Xingyun took in everyone's expressions. He did not say anything, nor did he reprimand them. He maintained his usual faint smile.
When the sun set in the west, the curtain of night gradually enveloped the outer sect.
Chu Xingyun looked at the sky and said loudly with spiritual power, "Those who are willing to become disciples will be registered by the Hall of Elders. After that, the tasks that the disciples have to complete will also be announced by the Hall of Elders. If there is even the slightest neglect, there will be severe punishment."
"Of course, if anyone wants to leave, I will not stop them. But if they give up, they will no longer have the chance to become a disciple and they will no longer be able to listen to my lectures."
"As for when the sermon will begin, I don't have a plan for now. When the sermon begins, I will naturally inform you one by one."
His voice slowly spread. Then, under everyone's gaze, Chu Xingyun and Xia Qingcheng's figures gradually rose into the air. Two waves of spiritual power bloomed. In just an instant, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
After the two of them left, many outer sect disciples looked at the other disciples. Their eyes were all filled with mockery and ridicule. Some people even laughed out loud, which was very ear-piercing.
Seeing this scene, the disciples' faces turned ugly. In the end, they turned and left with gloomy faces. They did not want to stay here for long.
Shui Qianyue stood in place and stared blankly in the direction that Chu Xingyun left.
Originally, she thought that after becoming a disciple, the two of them could gradually interact more. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed that she was wrong again.
She sighed slightly, turned around, and left the Martial Arts Square step by step.
What happened today, as expected, shocked everyone again.
More than four thousand outer sect disciples were expelled just like that. Even the Law Enforcement Faction had never done such a thing.
However, compared to this, Chu Xingyun's recruitment of disciples was even more intriguing.
Many people felt that Chu Xingyun's action was purely to consolidate his power. He did not promote the Deacon Elders and let the outer sect disciples assist him in handling the matters of the outer sect. Furthermore, he did not give any real power to the disciples.
This was indeed a brilliant move!
The next day, when the sky was slightly brightened, Chu Xingyun announced that he would be cultivating in seclusion and would not meet anyone.
The appearance of this news caused an uproar in the outer sect once again. More people were convinced that Chu Xingyun was recruiting disciples to consolidate his power. Otherwise, why would he go into seclusion right after recruiting disciples?
Furthermore, he did not mention the time of his seclusion!
In an instant, the entire outer sect was filled with rumors. Those outer sect disciples who had become disciples immediately became the target of ridicule. Many disciples were pressured to give up their positions as they did not want to be mocked again.
In the luxurious palace of the Sword Master Peak where Chang Chixiao was located.
A spy in black was kneeling on one knee as he reported the intelligence of the past few days. In front of him were the six Sword Masters of the Internal Affairs Faction. Chang Mingyang, Teng Qing, and the others were also present.
After a while, the spy finished his report and left with a bow.
"That Luo Yun is indeed sinister. He actually came up with such a scheme to consolidate his power." Chang Mingyang smiled coldly. Although the outer sect was still functioning, Chu Xingyun's reputation had already fallen to the bottom.
"Luo Yun took over the outer sect in order to get rid of our power. Now that he has achieved this goal, the outer sect is just an object of power to him. He does not care whether it lives or dies." Qi Yuzhen also smiled coldly. His words did not conceal his hatred for Chu Xingyun.
Chang Chixiao, Qi Yangchen, and the others did not say anything. They exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.
In the end, Chang Chixiao stood up and slowly said, "At the end of the day, Luo Yun is only a young man. Although he has some tricks up his sleeve, it is still difficult for him to control the entire outer court. To him, strength is what he urgently pursues."
"Hmm?"
The gazes of Qi Yuzhen and the others turned serious. They felt that Chang Chixiao's words had a hidden meaning.
"As the leader of the Sky Ascension Sword Meet, Luo Yun has three Nine-Profound Yang Pills. This time, he suddenly went into seclusion. It is very likely that he wants to enter the Sky Spirit Realm. Therefore, what we need to pay attention to is not what Luo Yun does, but how much his strength has increased."
"Once he enters the Sky Spirit Realm, his strength will definitely increase. The more time passes, the stronger the talent he will display. Our chances of killing him will also become slimmer and slimmer."
"The most important thing right now is to properly plan and see how we can arrange the entire scheme to kill Luo Yun in one fell swoop!"
Chang Chixiao's words were like pearls that were deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone. Even Teng Qing, who stood to the side, nodded his head as a cold light emitted from his eyes.
Time slowly passed.
After a wave of ridicule and ridicule, the matter of the disciples was gradually forgotten.
There were even many outer sect disciples who had completely forgotten about this matter. They wholeheartedly entered into a state of cultivation.
Ten days later, an order came from the Sword Master Peak that Chu Xingyun was at. From today onwards, the Luo Yun Sword Master would no longer recruit disciples. All disciples would gather at the Sword Master Peak at noon tomorrow.
In an instant, the matter of the disciples that had been forgotten entered the vision of everyone once again.
Everyone had the intention of ridicule. They wanted to see with their own eyes what benefits those outer sect disciples, who were called disciples but were actually laborers, would obtain after ten days of cultivation.
