Cheng Ling sensed everyone's hostility towards him, but he didn't care, and said to Jian Yinghao: "Brother Jian, do you mean that someone from the academy came over together?"

Jian Yinghao nodded and said, "Yes, not only my uncle, but also the head of the academy is here, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the place where the academy stays first!"

Cheng Ling nodded, and then left with Evil Wind and Zhang Hu with Jian Yinghao.

Jian Yinghao led everyone all the way to the south, and depending on the situation, the southern city should be the temporary foothold of the Famous Sword Academy.

Cheng Ling was suspicious in his heart, he had been in Yujing City for a while. The shortage of real estate in the city is a very important problem, although the Famous Sword Academy has a great reputation in the south, it can be placed in Yujing City, even if it is a second-rate force at the bottom of the ranking, does it have a residence in the south city?

pressed the question in his heart, walked all the way, walked for more than an hour, and came to a huge courtyard.

Just looking at it from the outside, the entire courtyard covers an extremely large area, which is ten times the size of Xiao Ling'er's small courtyard. Jian Yinghao took them to the gate, took out a token on his body, and the courtyard was naturally opened, and he walked in first.

Cheng Ling raised his eyes and saw the word "Fan Fu" written on it, and after waiting for a while, he followed.

After entering, there is a large garden, and there is a small lake in the center, which is planted with many rare spiritual plants. A winding corridor stretches from the end of the lake to the inside.

Cheng Ling asked in surprise: "Brother Sword, this is where the academy is located in Yujing City? ”

Jian Yinghao explained: "The three generations of the head of the academy were officials in Yujing City back then, and they had a lot of wealth, but later they gave up literature and martial arts and stepped into the path of cultivation. However, the residence in Yujing City was preserved, and it was also the heyday of the academy at that time, so it was used as a temporary foothold for us in the capital. ”

Bai Yiyi said happily: "Yes, when I was young, the master took me here once. ”

Cheng Ling smiled, then shook his head slightly, the predecessor Yu Yin, now the Famous Sword Academy has fallen into such a situation, and even the name of the five major academies cannot be kept.

The corridor is tortuous, there are several pavilions along the road, and there are mancloth gauze tents hanging on both sides, which is indescribably high pressure and luxury. Presumably, the status of the three generations of courtyard masters in Yujing City was not low.

After walking for a while and passing through several large halls, everyone came to a row of exquisite wings. Jian Yinghao stopped, stood outside the door and arched his hand into the wing room and said, "Courtyard master, Jian Yinghao and Cheng Ling ask to meet." ”

"Come in! Yiyi, arrange for the rest of the others to rest in the side hall for a while!"

"Yes!"

Bai Yiyi responded, and then led the evil wind and Zhang Hu with Gu Youlan towards the side hall.

Jian Yinghao glanced at it and walked in with Cheng Ling.

Entering the wing, Cheng Ling looked around. In the center of the wing, there is a huge incense burner, which is filled with green smoke, and the chest and lungs feel much more comfortable. Turning the hallway, I came to a hall.

Directly opposite, the master of the main academy sat in the center, the master of the sword academy on the left Jian Wuyan, and the master of the Dharma Academy on the right, Sun Yuanliang, but he didn't see the master of the martial arts academy, presumably he was sitting in the famous sword academy!

On the surrounding walls, there are several paintings and calligraphy, landscapes, flowers and birds, it really does not look like the residence of a monk, but more like the residence of a high-ranking official in the secular world.

After the two of them came in, the three major courtyard masters all focused their eyes on Cheng Ling, and they were all shocked in their hearts, the peak of the late stage of the merger, this cultivation has improved too quickly.

Sword boundless heart

Secretly happy, but his face was impassive, and asked, "Cheng Ling, why are you in Yujing City?"

Cheng Ling replied: "Originally, I just wanted to experience it, but I met King Chen Dan in the city, and we had similar interests, so he didn't give up, taught Dan Dao, and promised to participate in the Danwang Valley trial, so I delayed here." ”

The head of the courtyard was taken aback and asked, "King Chen Dan, which King Chen Dan?"

"Dan Alliance Leader Chen Danquan!"

"Oh, you still have a relationship with him, and it's really a blessing for our Famous Sword Academy. ”

The corners of Jian Wuya's mouth twitched, and he was silent, and a trace of jealousy flashed in Sun Yuanliang's eyes, but he immediately covered it up.

Cheng Ling's heart moved, the words of the head of the academy were a bit intriguing, his friendship with King Chen Dan turned out to be the blessing of the academy, could it be that they still wanted to achieve what purpose through Chen Danquan?

The head of the main courtyard coughed dryly and said, "Jian Yinghao, you can talk to Cheng Ling about the affairs of the academy!"

"Yes!"

Jian Yinghao agreed, and then said to Cheng Ling: "This time we came to Yujing City to participate in the exchange meeting of the five major academies. ”

"Isn't there a few more years left for the exchange conference?"

"This year's situation is special, the Nangong family unites the four major academies, thinking that our Famous Sword Academy has been at the bottom for a hundred years, and there have been no outstanding disciples for five consecutive sessions, which has greatly reduced the strength of the overall academy, and it is no longer worthy of having the reputation of the five major academies. ”

Therefore, they canceled the exchange meeting that was originally held in the Famous Sword Academy three years later, and arranged for another place for the Nangong family, that is, in the Yujing City, to hold a new exchange meeting of the five major academies. ”

"A few academy masters naturally refused, so they personally led us to come, wanting to reclaim the honor of the five great academies. But the Nangong family and the other four major academies were in collusion and opposed at the same time. In the end, in desperation, it was explained that the five major academies plus the Nangong family, the six major forces competed in the Yujing City, and as long as they could pass, they could once again have the honorary seats of the five major academies. ”

"Therefore, the three courtyard masters led me to come with Youlan, Yiyi, Wu Tianlei, Qiu Wuxian, Song Duan and others, and also ordered to find Brother Cheng's whereabouts, after all, you were one of the top 100 disciples back then. ”

Cheng Ling was stunned and asked, "What about Cheng Maofa?"

"Since he was defeated by you, he has left the academy and returned to the family. It was Sun Yuanliang who spoke, but there was no hatred in his tone.

The head of the academy snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Since he doesn't regard the academy as his own sect, there is naturally no need to care about him. Cheng family, after solving the matter in Yujing City, I have my own plans!"

Cheng Ling sighed secretly, you didn't grasp such a good situation back then, but now, knowing that you raised a white-eyed wolf, you still don't repent. Now facing the pressure of several major academies in Yujing City, the seven major forces in the south, where is it so easy to solve.

If you want to restore the glory of the academy again, I am afraid it will cost a greater price.

He asked, "How are they going to compete?"

Jian Yinghao explained: "There are a total of nine competitions, including four Dan Talisman Arrays, and the disciples of each academy will come forward to test the alchemy, talisman, refining, and array paths. After the Dan Fu Array, compare spells, martial arts, and swordsmanship. ”

"In the last two games, one was a comparison of the academy's high-end combat power, and one of the three academy masters personally competed. The other is a team battle, where fifty disciples from each faction fight as a team, and in the end, whoever can stand on the ring will be the winner. ”

Cheng Ling

frowned, this kind of competition is also novel, but there are no outstanding Dan Fu Array disciples in the Famous Sword Academy, and in the three competitions of law, martial arts, and swords, the chance of winning will not be very large, and the team battle is almost the same, as for the main battle, I don't know what the strength of several masters is.

His divine sense swept away, and the cultivation of the three courtyard masters was vague, but intuitively, the main courtyard master was the strongest, and he steadily suppressed Jian Wuya and Sun Yuanliang.

He asked, "Brother Jian, how sure do you think we are?"

Jian Yinghao froze for a moment, and his eyes looked at several courtyard masters. Jian Wuya said indifferently: "Yinghao, just say it!"

Jian Yinghao sighed: "There are four sects of the Dan Talisman Array, Tianji Academy, Canglang Academy Intensive Research Rune Dao, Western Yunlan Academy Refined Array Dao, Northern Luotian Academy Refined Instrument Dao, Nangong Family has been resident in Yujing City for nearly a hundred years, and the three Talisman Array have been involved. Among the four gates, if Brother Cheng can make a move, he can compare one or two in the Dan Dao and the Array Dao. ”

"Among the three sects of sword, law, and martial arts, I will fight the sword technique, and the martial arts of the martial arts will be used by my junior disciples, and the law path is a little weak. As for the team battle and the main battle of the hospital, maybe you can only fight for it in the main battle of the hospital. ”

"If you do that, we have less than half of the chance of winning, so it's not a good idea. ”

The three courtyard masters frowned, obviously what Jian Yinghao said was not an exaggeration, and even in their hearts, they didn't even have a fifty percent victory rate.

Suddenly, the five people in the hall fell into silence.

Cheng Ling calculated in his heart that the strength of the Famous Sword Academy alone in such a nine-game competition was indeed not very good, and unless foreign aid was introduced, there would be a certain chance to win. But he couldn't say this kind of thing directly, so he could only keep silent.

After a long time, the head of the academy broke the silence and asked, "Cheng Ling, I have heard that you are extremely wise in the past, what is the way to deal with the current situation, as a disciple, you naturally have to give advice to the academy." ”

When she said this, Cheng Ling frowned, and scolded in her heart: Damn, it's all at this time, what kind of bullshit is still putting on the shelf of the master of the shit, now that you have a request for others, can't you lower your posture. Just seeing the praying eyes of Jian Yinghao and the Sword Courtyard Master, he sighed helplessly.

After a long groan, he asked indifferently, "When is the time of the competition?"

"Six months later. ”

"Six months? Isn't that half a year. Cheng Ling's eyes lit up and asked, "Why does it take so long?"

"It's very simple, the Nangong family wants to contact the Northern Luotian Academy and the Western Yunlan Academy, and the previous decision was only mentioned at the last exchange conference. If we really want to squeeze us out of the arrangement of the five colleges, we need to communicate with the two colleges. ”

"What's more, a year later, the disciples of the nine major forces will all come to Yujing City to participate in the once-in-a-century Yujing Festival, Brother Cheng, the Danwang Valley you mentioned is just one of the events. ”

"What is the situation in the Yujing Festival, the nine major forces are all coming to participate?"

"Yes, my generation's cultivation needs to be well-written, and proper exchange and exchange are the best means to absorb the essence and develop together. Therefore, every hundred years, a grand event will be held in Yujing City, inviting major forces and sects to participate. ”

"On top of the grand event, not only exercises, martial arts, and spells will be exchanged, but also Dan Fu Array, auctions, Taoist meetings, drinking parties, poetry meetings, and so on. ”

Cheng Ling was stunned, his brain almost couldn't turn around, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Damn, there is even a drinking party and a poetry party, we are cultivators, not those riots, these things also need to be exchanged?"
