Chapter 146: Netherworld Valley, testing disciples to test their budding skills
After the other elders heard the suggestion of Elder Chuan Gong, their expressions gradually showed their agreement.
They know that leaving this decision to the leader will not only solve the current dilemma, but also show respect for the leader.
Under this suggestion, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to relax a little.
The elders' eyes began to sparkle with anticipation and curiosity, and they were all imagining what decisions the leader would make after leaving seclusion.
For the disciples, this proposal undoubtedly gave them a chance to breathe, and their mood changed from nervousness to anticipation.
Elder Hushan's gaze slowly swept over every disciple present, and his voice was gentle but firm: "In that case, if you have any other ideas, you can tell us!"
His eyes were full of care and expectation, obviously hoping that these young disciples could speak freely and express their feelings.
When Lin Fan saw this, he felt a sense of determination in his heart.
He remembered what Qiuyue once told him about the ghost cultivators in Netherworld Valley.
He knew very well that today was a rare opportunity for the five elders to gather together. If he didn't say it today, there would probably be no better opportunity.
So, he took a step forward, looked solemn, and said firmly: "I have something, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"Lin Fan, it's okay to speak up if you have something to say. If you don't say it, how will we know whether you should say it or not?"
The voice of the mountain guardian elder was full of kindness and encouragement, and his eyes encouraged Lin Fan to confess what was on his mind.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, and facing the five elders, he slowly expressed his worries: "There is a Netherworld Valley near Liger Ridge! There are hidden ghost cultivators who are harming the disciples of Qingyun Outer Sect!"
There was a seriousness in his voice that could not be ignored.
"This is happening!"
After hearing this, the elder who protected the mountain immediately became furious.
There was an expression of disbelief and anger on his face. He stood up, obviously planning to go to Netherworld Valley immediately to find out the truth.
The other disciples in the Elder Hall were also shocked by the news.
There were expressions of surprise and worry on their faces. They knew that if it was true as Lin Fan said, then this Netherworld Valley would undoubtedly be a huge threat to the outer disciples of Qingyun Sect.
Elder Xuan Bing and Elder Alchemy also showed solemn expressions, their eyes full of worry and anger.
Obviously, they are aware of the seriousness of this problem. Their eyes met, silently conveying their thoughts on countermeasures.
In the Qingyun Sect Elder's Hall, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
The elder who protected the mountain just stood up and prepared to go to the Netherworld Valley in person, but was grabbed by elder Xuan Bing.
Elder Xuan Bing's eyes were full of calmness and wisdom, and he said calmly: "Why do you need to go there in person for these small things?"
There was a bottomless truth in his words, which made the mountain guarding elder stop in his tracks.
Elder Zhuan Gong spoke slowly, his voice was calm and powerful: "The Netherworld Valley is under the jurisdiction of Li Jianren of Sanxiu Pavilion. The fault of dereliction of duty should be attributed to Li Jianren!"
His words revealed a rigorous handling method, which made the elder's anger ease a little.
But the face of the mountain guardian elder still showed dissatisfaction and worry: "The ghost cultivator is hiding in the Netherworld Valley! The disaster is not small! If it is not eradicated in time, the disaster will be huge!"
The tension in the scene reached a new climax when Elder Xuan Bing asked: "Lin Fan, how do you know about ghost cultivation?"
His eyes were fixed on Lin Fan, trying to find the answer from Lin Fan's reaction.
Lin Fan felt the gazes of the elders. He knew that the truth needed to be told at this time, so he slowly told the ins and outs of Netherworld Valley that he knew.
In the narrative, he cleverly concealed the information that Gui Xiu might have a backer within the Qingyun Sect, so as not to cause unnecessary internal disputes.
As the other elders listened to what Lin Fan said, their expressions gradually changed from initial confusion to seriousness and concern.
They could feel that what Lin Fan said was true. His narrative was meticulous and organized, and seemed very sincere.
They nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Lin Fan's statement.
Elder Xuan Bing's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he affirmed Lin Fan's courage and frankness.
The mountain guarding elder frowned, obviously very worried about the problem in Netherworld Valley.
His hands were clenched into fists, as if he was thinking about a solution.
Elder Xuan Bing's suggestion was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in circles.
He pointed at the twenty disciples who had just passed the martial arts trial and suggested that they go and eradicate the ghost cultivators.
His voice was firm and serious, obviously thoughtful.
The face of the mountain guardian elder showed concern and disapproval.
"Isn't this inappropriate? After all, the true strength of the ghost cultivator is still unknown. Besides, if you can hide your aura in the Netherworld Valley, your cultivation level must be quite high!"
His words revealed concern for the safety of his disciples and caution against unknown threats.
The twenty disciples present had different expressions when they heard this proposal.
Some disciples' eyes shone with challenge and expectation, obviously full of desire for such experience.
Other disciples showed hesitation and worry. They were uneasy about the unknown ghost cultivator.
Murong Yunfei, this disciple with evil intentions, when he heard Elder Xuan Bing's proposal, a sinister light flashed in his eyes.
In his opinion, this was an excellent opportunity to get rid of Lin Fan.
His heart was full of calculations and ambitions, thinking that if he could get rid of Lin Fan and seize his Qiankun Ax, he would become the number one person in the Qingyun Sect.
His eyes turned to Senior Brother Bai Yikuang next to him. Murong Yunfei's brows furrowed tightly, and a sly smile flashed across his face. It was obvious that he was planning a conspiracy in his heart.
The dialogue between the elders and the various reactions of the disciples made the atmosphere in the elders' hall more complicated.
Everyone was thinking about the pros and cons of this proposal, while Lin Fan stood quietly aside, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking deeply about the situation in front of him.
In the Qingyun Sect Elder's Hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense due to the sudden appearance of Murong Yunfei.
I saw Murong Yunfei running into the elder's hall "all in one".
There was a hint of eagerness and excitement in his voice, "Master, elders! Senior brother Bai Yikong and I are willing to help these junior brothers who are just starting out!"
The words were full of righteousness and Lingran's tone, seeming to express his bravery and selflessness.
Bai Yikong outside the Elder Hall was extremely disgusted when he heard what Murong Yunfei said.
I thought to myself: You are seeking your own death, don’t take me with you!
When Elder Xuan Bing saw how sensible his beloved disciple was, he immediately said excitedly, "In this case, let Bai Yikong and Murong Yunfei lead twenty disciples to rush to Netherworld Valley to eradicate the ghost cultivators! I don't know, elders, how about!"
