I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 561 Everyone has their own plans
"Guarding the Holy Court?"

Chu Ning was a little surprised when he heard what his master said.

He now also understands his own sect.

In the entire Cangtian Realm, the most well-known part of the Holy Palace is the Holy Academy.

The Holy Court is the foundation and core of the entire Holy Palace.

The name of the Holy Palace comes from the Holy Courtyard.

The founder of the Holy Palace was known as a saint. He first established the Holy Academy and then created the Holy Palace.

The Holy Temple hides the opportunities left by the saints.

This is recognized by both the Cang Tian Realm and the Holy Palace disciples. However, for the Holy Palace disciples, they dare not even think about entering the Holy Academy. Only Elder Dongxu is qualified to enter the Holy Academy.

In the hearts of the disciples who have reached the state of transformation, the Holy Temple is sacred.

The mission of guarding the Holy Academy has always been pursued by the disciples who have achieved the God Transformation Stage. He learned this from Senior Brother Lin Nan and Senior Brother Zhang from the Disciple Pavilion.

Many disciples who have reached the God Transformation stage do not even know where the Holy Academy is throughout their entire lives.

Chu Ning understood that this must be the benefit that his master had fought for him. According to Senior Brother Lin Nan, only those at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm were qualified to guard the Holy Academy, and he was only at the late Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Thank you, Master." Chu Ning was touched.

"As for the Holy Academy, I cannot tell you too much. Everything depends on your own luck. Maybe you will gain something, or maybe you will gain nothing and waste a hundred years in vain."

The mission of guarding the saints in the Holy Palace lasts for a hundred years. Once you accept the mission, you cannot leave within a hundred years.

"If there is no harvest, it can only be said that the disciple has not had the opportunity and has wasted the cultivation of the master."

"Don't feel too stressed. You are only in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. It is normal that you don't have opportunities. I am just letting you get familiar with the Holy Academy. In this way, you will definitely gain something when you guard the Holy Academy next time."

Chu Ning was a little surprised: "Master, doesn't every disciple only have one chance to guard the Holy Academy?"

He learned from Lin Nan and Zhang Xiong that no matter how talented they were, disciples of the Holy Palace only had one chance to guard the Holy Academy. If they wanted to get close to the Holy Academy again, they had to enter the Dongxu Realm and become an elder.

Hong Rongduan said quietly, "The first mission of a sect disciple after joining the sect is assigned by the sect, while the subsequent missions are chosen by the disciples themselves. The two are different."

Chu Ning understood immediately.

If you want to enter the Holy Academy by yourself, you only have one chance, and the first mission is assigned by the sect and does not count.

However, very few people are designated to guard the Holy Academy after they enter the sect. It is obvious that my master paid a lot of price to fight for this opportunity for me, otherwise the Palace Master and other elders would not agree.

Master appears cold toward me but is warm-hearted inside.

"For these three months, stay in the yard and don't go out."

"Disciple will follow Master's instructions."

Although he didn't know why the master asked him not to leave the yard for the next three months, Chu Ning didn't ask. His master seemed cold but warm-hearted. If the master wanted him to know, he would tell him.

Three months, for a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, is not even a fraction of the time it takes to get through seclusion.

……

……

After three months.

Chu Ning received a notice from his master and went to the main hall.

When Chu Ning arrived at the main hall, he met the elders again. The Palace Master did not show up, but his master was standing there with a sullen face. At the same time, Chu Ning also noticed that Uncle Chang was staring at an elder opposite him with an angry look on his face.

Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat after quickly scanning the scene. Was there any change in his admission into the Holy Academy?
"Disciple Ji Yang greets Master and Uncle Chang, and greets all the elders."

Chu Ning calmed his mind and bowed as soon as he came in. When Lord Chang heard Chu Ning calling him alone, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

What a good child! He can tell the difference between close and distant relatives. He thinks that Senior Brother Hong and I are brothers from the same school, so he should call himself that.

Thinking of this, Lord Chang looked at Fang Zhengquan with an even more unfriendly look. If this old guy hadn't come out to stop him, Junior Brother Ji would have gone to the Holy Academy long ago.

As Chu Ning entered, the eyes of the elders in the hall all fell on him. The expressions of these elders were different. Some had a calm expression as if it had nothing to do with them, while others were curious. Some of the elders who had not seen Chu Ning last time had a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes, and the dissatisfaction of the sixth elder was the most obvious.

"Ji Yang, I asked you to come to the hall this time because the mission assigned to you by the sect has caused dissatisfaction among many disciples in the palace. The Holy Palace has been able to stand in the Cangtian Realm for so many years, and there has never been a lack of genius disciples. In addition to the resources and magical powers that my Holy Palace can provide these geniuses, there is also a point that the Holy Palace is fair enough."

The Sixth Elder spoke first, which was why he was able to stand up and oppose after the Mansion Lord made the decision.

For this reason, he also found several other elders to express their opinions at the same time. For these elders, Ji Yang's responsibility for guarding the Holy Academy this time was equivalent to robbing their disciples of their opportunities, and they were quite dissatisfied in their hearts.

As for the Sixth Elder, the reason he opposed Chu Ning was because of his disciple Feng Xing.

Hong Rongduan knew what happened in the preaching square, and he naturally knew about it, and he was even more aware of the rumors that existed in the palace.

But he didn't stop it because he and Hong Rongduan had the same idea.

He wants his disciple to take the position.

He knew Hong Rongduan's thoughts very well. He sent his disciple Feng Xing away first to give Ji Yang enough time to develop. This time, guarding the Holy Academy was one of Hong Rongduan's methods. If Ji Yang really got an opportunity in guarding the Holy Academy, he would definitely fight with Feng Xing at that time.

This battle concerns the fate of both of them.

Feng Xing is a cultivator from the Cang Tian Realm, while Chu Ning comes from the outside world. Although the impurities in his body are gone, he still does not belong to the Cang Tian Realm. His luck is naturally weaker than that of the cultivators from the Cang Tian Realm.

There is a reason why the cultivators in the Cang Tian Realm feel superior to the cultivators in the small world. Only those powerful Dongxu masters like them know the key to this.

Hong Rongduan wanted Ji Yang to take away his disciple's luck through a battle with him under the watchful eyes of the public.

The plan is good, but as long as I am here, Hong Rongduan’s conspiracy will never succeed.

In the hall, a trace of helplessness flashed in Hong Rongduan's eyes. He knew that the Sixth Elder had misunderstood and thought that he was paving the way for Ji Yang in order to have a battle with Feng Xing in the future, but he had no such idea at all.

But this matter could not be explained, because he could not make any promise to the Sixth Elder. He would not let Ji Yang take the initiative to provoke Feng Xing, but when it came to the future competition for the chief position and the rumors in the sect, if the two really had to fight in the future, he could not let Ji Yang avoid the fight.

Listening to the words of the Sixth Elder, Chu Ning also understood that it was his master who had fought for him a chance to guard the Holy Academy. Other elders opposed it, and the Sixth Elder was the leader of the opposition. Feng Xing seemed to be the disciple of the Sixth Elder.

What’s going on? Is it that my horoscope is in conflict with that of the master and disciple? Why are they targeting me like this?
Chu Ning felt a little annoyed, but his expression remained unchanged as he asked, "So, what does the Sixth Elder mean?"

"My meaning is very simple. In order to maintain the justice of my Holy Palace, you should give up this mission yourself."

"fart!"

Without waiting for Chu Ning to answer, Lord Chang spoke first: "This is the decision made by the Palace Master. Fang Zhengquan, are you questioning the Palace Master?"

"Elder Chang, there is no need for us to argue. We have already argued before."

Fang Zhengquan chose to ignore Chang Junhou, mainly because this man was extremely shameless and his words were mostly vulgar. A dignified Dongxu powerful man was like a mortal country bumpkin.

"What's wrong with arguing? There's no winner. Junior-Martial-Nephew Ji, don't pay attention to him. The task of guarding the Holy Courtyard was assigned by the Palace Master. Just go ahead."

"Elder Chang, Sixth Elder, please stop for now."

The third elder Qi Bianlu had a headache. The palace lord had not shown up yet, and the first and second elders were also in seclusion. Now he was the only one who had to call a halt.

The two had been arguing for half an hour before Ji Yang came in.

Qi Bianlu looked at Chu Ning and said, "Ji Yang, you already know the cause of the incident. Originally, since the Palace Master has already made the decision, we should not object. However, the Sixth Elder feels that this is unfair to other disciples. In my opinion, it is better to let your master take out the contribution points and hand them over to the Mission Pavilion."

Mission Pavilion.

It is the place where disciples of the Holy Palace accept missions. The Holy Palace does not force disciples to do missions, but like all sects, ordinary disciples only have the most basic resources. It is impossible to rely on these resources to break through the realm. They can only accept missions in exchange for contribution points, and then redeem resources from the palace's treasury.

The resources in the Holy Palace Treasury are much cheaper than those in the outside market, and many precious resources cannot be bought in the market. They can only be exchanged in the Treasury through contribution points.

The Holy Palace will give contribution points to each elder, which can be used to allow disciples to go out and search for the materials they want for alchemy and refining. These contribution points are enough for an elder to train several disciples, but if there are too many disciples, it will not be enough. You can exchange some treasures for contribution points by giving them to the treasury.

The elders and disciples can do it, and any unused treasures can be given to the Holy Palace Treasury. However, the things that the powerful Dongxu masters take out are naturally of extremely high value, and can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points.

"Can!"

Hong Rongduan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He had no disciples to train in these years, and he did have many useless things to give to the sect.

Chu Ning also understood in his heart that Elder Qi should be on the side of the Master.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Another elder objected: "If this is possible, then can we give this opportunity to our own disciples?"

Contribution points are not lacking for these Dongxu powerful men.

Chu Ning looked at the elders who were opposing him and felt a little puzzled. Why didn’t the Palace Master show up yet?
Could it be that the Palace Master also doesn't support it, and he originally agreed to his master out of necessity, and now that other elders are against it, he just goes along with it?
As if he had seen through Chu Ning's thoughts, Hong Rongduan transmitted a message: "Don't overthink it. The Palace Master is just out. No matter how much these elders object, the final result will not change."

After hearing the message from his master, Chu Ning finally understood why his master didn't say much. It turned out that the Sixth Elder took advantage of the Mansion Master's absence to jump out and oppose, and this opposition was ultimately ineffective. So what was the purpose of the Sixth Elder doing this?
Is it because you have a conflict with your own master that you have to jump out and oppose?
Hong Rongduan knew why Fang Zhengquan did this. In addition to the fortune of his disciple Feng Xing, he also wanted to make a big deal out of this matter. Although he could not stop Ji Yang from guarding the Holy Academy, he could make other disciples, especially the chief disciples, hostile to Ji Yang.

By that time, Ji Yang would not be facing Feng Xing alone, but all the chief disciples.

Although Chu Ning didn't know these secrets of luck, he thought about what harm the Sixth Elder's actions would bring to him.

After thinking about it, he realized that if this matter was blown out of proportion and spread to all the disciples in the Holy Palace, his popularity among the disciples would deteriorate and he would be met with hostility.

Regardless of the boundaries, human hearts are just like this.

Anyone will be hostile to those who have connections or receive special treatment.

Chu Ning carefully thought about the pros and cons of this for himself.

The master told me not to care about it because he thought it was not a big deal. But from my point of view, if all the disciples of the Holy Palace were really hostile to me, it would not be a good thing.

The solution to break the impasse is actually quite simple.

Chu Ning looked at the Sixth Elder and said, "May I ask, Sixth Elder, if I don't want to give up this opportunity, is there any other solution that can satisfy the brothers?"

When Chu Ning said this, Hong Rongduan's expression changed slightly, but seeing Chu Ning's determined eyes, he finally did not interrupt.

The elders who originally looked indifferent and indifferent, now looked at Chu Ning with a hint of surprise.

They are all experienced people who have practiced for thousands of years, and they can all hear the subtext of Chu Ning's words.

Fang Zhengquan opposed Chu Ning and felt that it was unfair. Now Chu Ning asked Fang Zhengquan how to be fair, that is, how to convince those disciples.

How to accept it?

Prove that you are qualified to guard the Holy Temple.

How to prove it?

Originally, he was supposed to defeat the chief disciple who was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But since the Palace Master has already agreed to this matter, he can lower some of his demands. And since it was Fang Zhengquan who raised the objection, then naturally he can just fight with Feng Xing, the disciple of the Sixth Elder.

If you win, you qualify.

Ji Yang's words were a challenge to Feng Xing.

They were surprised. They were wondering where Ji Yang got the confidence to fight Feng Xing?
The late stage of the transformation of the spirit in the Cangtian Realm is not comparable to that in the small world. Ji Yang has not been in the Cangtian Realm for a long time. It would be appropriate to challenge again after a few hundred years.

Fang Zhengquan first glanced at Hong Rongduan, and when he saw the slightly changed expression on Hong Rongduan's face, he knew that Ji Yang's move was not instructed by Hong Rongduan, which meant that it was Ji Yang's own idea.

"Simple. As long as you can defeat my disciple Feng Xing, I will approve you to guard the Holy Academy. If other disciples dare to disobey, I will deal with them for you."

“Senior Brother Feng Xing is extremely powerful, but since the Sixth Elder has made a request, I am willing to ask Senior Brother Feng for advice.”

Chu Ning spoke very modestly, but the elders present heard the decisiveness in his words. It seemed that Ji Yang was very confident in his own strength.

"Then tomorrow, does Elder Hong have any objection?"

Fang Zhengquan looked at Hong Rongduan, who was silent for a few breaths and said, "Yes!"
