Chapter 284 Everyone is for themselves
The laughter echoed in the valley, thousands of times, long and long.
Shi Weihan laughed heartily, with hearty laughter and heroic spirit.
The sea of clouds is turbulent and unpredictable.
The crowd on the field was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.
No one echoed, no one responded, there was silence.
The forty-nine foundation-building disciples were all pale-faced, inexplicably panicked, silent, and as silent as cicadas.
A hint of unbearability flashed across the stone face. He glanced at Shi Weihan from the corner of his eye, and a light flashed in his eyes before returning to normal.
Lin Mu's face changed slightly. He couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene below. He turned his head, his face returned to calm, and after signaling to the disciples behind him, he led everyone, followed Shi Weihan and the four elders, and flew into the door.
When a group of people entered the door, Shi Weihan casually played a few spells, and the sea of clouds surged and then closed again.
Outside the mountain gate, there was only a single huge palm print left. In the palm print, the flesh and blood were blurred and dripping with blood.
The mountain wind blew by, and there were bursts of rustling sounds in the grass and trees, like weeping and complaining.
Lin Mu and his disciples flew to Qianyu Peak with Shi Weihan and stopped in front of Qianyu Hall.
In the square in front of the main hall, the crowd was dense and dark. The low-level disciples had been waiting for a long time, and the noise was boiling.
More than forty disciples followed the stone and landed in front of the main hall. Then they stood in front of the square, close to the main hall.
Yunmeng didn't know when she had put a layer of gauze on her face to cover her face. She did not join the other disciples, but followed Lin Mu step by step, never leaving even half a step away.
Lin Mu's figure was ethereal, slowly falling from the sky.
As his eyes swept across the square, his expression suddenly changed.
There are so many practitioners in the whole square, and the number is far greater than before, no less than 20,000!
Most of them are disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, there are only a few practitioners in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and disciples in the Spiritual Silence Stage are very rare.
When Lin Mu was still in the sect, the Qianyu Sword Sect had only a few thousand Qi Refining Stage disciples.
In just a few decades, the sect has developed so rapidly.
Looking at the Qi Refining Stage cultivators alone, the Qianyu Sword Sect’s strength is already three times that of before!
There are so many practitioners in the Qi Refining Stage, and there are not a few who can cultivate those in the Foundation Building Stage. Those who can cultivate those in the Spiritual Silence Stage are also rising!
If this development continues, within a few decades, the Qianyu Sword Sect will be able to occupy a place in the Tianxiao Realm.
Shi Weihan is already in operation!
Lin Mu's expression returned to normal immediately, and he calmly landed in front of the main hall.
In front of the main hall, there was a long rosewood table. Shi Weihan sat in the middle. The four elders took their seats one after another. Under Shi Weihan's greeting, Lin Mu half-pushed and sat down next to Elder Luo Yan.
Shi Weihan sat upright and glanced at the crowd below. Tens of thousands of disciples suddenly fell silent. The field was so silent that you could hear a needle drop.
"Today, we have two things to announce." Shi Weihan looked at the disciples below with a calm expression and said slowly.
All the disciples were attentive, silent, and listened attentively.
"The first thing is that due to his outstanding achievements, Lin Mu, a disciple of the sect, has been specially promoted to the position of reserve elder through discussion between me and several elders." When Shi Weihan said this, he paused for a moment and showed a smile on his face. ,superficial.
Lin Mu's disciples below immediately took the lead in cheering loudly and were inexplicably excited.
Tens of thousands of disciples, not knowing why, also cheered along with them. Some older disciples, who seemed to know the ins and outs, also cheered along with them. Lin Mu became a preparatory elder, and his status in the sect soared. As long as he could become his disciple, he would definitely be better than practicing hard on his own.
Shi Weihan coughed lightly, and the place below suddenly became quiet.
"The second thing is to recruit disciples again." Shi Weihan said with a smile: "Elder Lin Mu spent ten years training fifty foundation-building disciples. Now these fifty disciples have returned. Come to the door. You all can see that this is absolutely true. Lin Mu’s strength and teaching level have been proven, and he deserves the title!”
"So, to recruit disciples this time, I decided to increase the number of disciples and give more disciples opportunities. All ordinary disciples with spiritual roots, as long as they become the top 100 in this competition, they can worship Lin Mu as their teacher and officially become Inner disciple!" Shi Weihan said with a smile.
Lin Mu sat aside, his expression as usual, but his heart was slightly disturbed.
One hundred disciples!
Compared with before, it was twice as many. Shi Weihan was really ruthless.
As a preparatory elder, it is not as easy as imagined.
Lin Mu had also expected this. Shi Weihan had no choice but to agree to become a reserve elder, which would definitely not make it easy for him. With his character, he must maximize his interests. A third-grade cave heaven blessed land, cultivating a hundred disciples in ten years is already the limit.
"I wonder what you think?" Shi Weihan turned to Lin Mu and asked with a smile, pretending.
Lin Mu pondered for a while and reluctantly said: "Disciple is willing to try his best!"
Shi Weihan suddenly smiled and said: "The fish ball land in the center of the lake cannot accommodate too many people. Now you have recruited another hundred disciples. You trained fifty disciples before and let them practice hard in the door. That’s it.”
Lin Mu's expression couldn't help but change!
He had already guessed this step before coming to Qianyu Sword Sect.
But when Shi Weihan actually said it now, he was still a little caught off guard.
After ten years of hard work, he had trained fifty disciples, but Shi Weihan wanted to take everything away with just one word!
"This disciple cannot agree with the headmaster's words." Lin Mu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "These fifty disciples have been with me for ten years, and I do not want to be separated from them unless I have to. Hu Although Heart Island is small, it is more than enough to house more than a hundred people!”
Shi Weihan said with a smile: "When these fifty disciples come back, I will specially arrange a fourth-grade cave heaven paradise for them to live in. I will also use a lot of resources to train them with all my strength. If nothing happens, within ten years, I will be able to Let them all reach the stage of spiritual silence!”
Shi Weihan and Lin Mu were talking, but their eyes glanced at the forty-nine foundation-building disciples.
The fifty disciples all looked fascinated when he mentioned the generous treatment.
Some disciples were even so excited that they laughed out loud.
Lin Mu opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shi Weihan: "Whether to stay in the sect or not, what you and I say is all one-sided and should be left to the fifty disciples to make their own choices. Whether to stay or not, you and I will not interfere. That’s it.”
When Shi Weihan said this, Lin Mu felt relieved and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Shi Weihan immediately turned to the forty-nine foundation-building disciples and said: "Whether you are willing to stay in the door is entirely voluntary, and I will not interfere. If you are willing to stay, just take three steps forward, and you and I will The master won’t say anything.”
When Shi Weihan finished speaking, all the forty-nine disciples began to think deeply.
Shi Jian and Xin Yan immediately took three steps back without any hesitation, followed closely by Lu Yuan.
"fool!"
At this time, a mocking voice sounded from the crowd.
The person who spoke was none other than Meng Jun.
"Staying in the sect, sitting in the blessed land of the fourth-grade cave heaven, and being vigorously cultivated by the sect, breaking through the spiritual silence is just around the corner." Meng Jun said: "Following the master, I can only practice hard on my own. How can I do it in the blessed land of the third-grade cave heaven on the island in the middle of the lake? It takes only a short time to achieve spiritual silence, but there is no hope in this life!”
Zhong Hao also hurriedly agreed: "That's right, it's better to stay in the door."
After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately took three steps forward and separated from the crowd.
An angry look flashed across the stone face, looking at the two junior brothers, he was about to draw his sword.
Lin Mu immediately glared at Shitou and stopped him.
Taking a deep look at Meng Jun and Zhong Hao, Lin Mu looked calm but felt uncomfortable in his heart.
These two people were obviously the people placed by Shi Weihan.
However, he did not notice it during these ten years.
No matter how angry he is at this moment, he can't get angry in front of Shi Weihan, and he even has to smile.
Shitou snorted coldly, then stood still.
The remaining disciples were silent and stood there, looking hesitant.
Shi Jian, Xin Yan, and Lu Yuan looked at the brothers with calm expressions without saying a word.
After a moment of silence, several people in the crowd took three steps forward.
Several people lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu felt sad in his heart, but didn't say anything.
He can understand these disciples' choices.
As long as you are a normal person, you can understand that if you stay in the door, your development will obviously be better. If you follow yourself, it is too unstable. The future is unpredictable and unpredictable. No one knows what will happen.
At this time, Jing Qi also spoke to the senior brothers beside him: "The island in the middle of the lake is close to the misty forest. In the misty forest, the demon tribe is massacring cultivators. No one knows whether the demon tribe will go to war with the cultivators in the future. Once the war starts, , the island in the center of the lake is the first to be among them. By then, under the attack of the seventh-level monsters, even the master will not be able to save us, so we have to stay in the door. "
"Besides, it doesn't matter if you stay in the door. Anyway, as long as the master comes back, we can still see each other." After Jing Qi finished speaking, he walked out from the crowd, took three steps forward, and stood with Zhong Hao and Meng Jun.
What Jing Qi said was not groundless. It is very possible for the cultivators to start a war with the demon clan in the future.
Leaving Lake Center Island now may be a more conscious choice.
But everyone knew it well, and they were not fools. They had all seen the overt and covert struggle between the master and the leader.
Choosing to leave at this moment is undoubtedly an attitude.
Once you leave, it means that the relationship between master and apprentice will be in the past, and asking the master for help again is no different from a joke. Leaving now is no different from betrayal. If there are difficulties in the future, there will be no shame in contacting the master.
This is the reason why all the disciples hesitate.
The disciples in the foundation building period all stood there and began to meditate.
Lin Mu looked at Jing Qi, his heart felt like a knife stabbing him, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Back when Jing Qi was the youngest, he was also very kind to Jing Qi, providing sufficient supply of elixirs, resources, etc.
Even so, Jing Qi still chose to leave him and return to the sect.
People are unpredictable and it is really difficult to predict.
Immediately after Jing Qi's remarks, five or six people made their choice and took three steps forward.
After these six people, there were five more disciples with apologetic expressions on their faces. They bowed deeply to Lin Mu and took three steps forward.
During the tea time, twenty people chose to stay in the door!
The other disciples had also made their choice and all took three steps back to stand with Shi Jian and the others.
A group of forty-nine disciples have made their own choices since then.
Lin Mu's face was calm as usual, and he felt relieved as he looked at the remaining disciples.
As for the twenty disciples who remained in the sect, they had already defected to the Ming Lord and parted ways with him.
Everyone is for themselves, Lin Mu had already predicted this.
