It wasn't long before someone couldn't help but jump out and accuse:

"I heard that your Lingjian Sect has always attached great importance to rules. Now we are just here to show our concern for your sect. Even if you are a direct disciple, you have no right to reject everyone, right?"

Cen Huan suppressed the restlessness in her heart and spoke in a high-sounding manner, saying that she cared about them. She was afraid that they were not here to gather information. She blocked them with a cold voice, "We appreciate your kindness, but the order to close the sect was issued by my master, so you should leave first."

She felt that she had spoken nicely enough to this group of people.

But there was nothing she could do about it. The people in front of her were all old hands who had been in the cultivation world for many years. Cen Huan was still young, and she couldn't control these people alone.

It would be fine if Xie Baiyi was here. With his status as the chief of Lingjian Sect and the young master of the Xie family, plus the intimidation of his imminent divine power, these people might actually listen.

Thinking of Xie Baiyi, several people in the crowd looked at each other and asked loudly, "Where is your senior brother? Why doesn't he come out? Could he be the one who transcended the tribulation in Lingjian Sect?"

Originally everyone thought that it was a person in the Spirit Transformation Stage who was undergoing a tribulation, but as time passed, people gradually realized that something was wrong.

Even though there haven't been any Spirit Transformation cultivators in the past hundred years, there are always cultivators who have lived for who knows how old and have seen thunder tribulations. They are obviously very different from the thunder tribulations of today. Even the massive thunder tribulation that occurred in Taiyi Sect a few months ago did not kill anyone.

This situation looks like killing an enemy.

So the question is -

Who is this person who is undergoing the tribulation in the sect at this moment? !

Many cultivators gathered at the foot of Lingjian Sect's mountain, trying to find out what was going on.

Cen Huan was too lazy to say anything more about the group of people who were obviously saying something with a hidden agenda. He placed one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and glanced at them coldly, "No comment."

A row of inner disciples stood behind him, like a wall, motionless.

There was some murmur among the crowd, but no one dared to act rashly.

Just kidding, sword cultivators don't have good tempers. If you provoke them and a fight really breaks out, you don't know who will suffer.

They came from the same sect and cooperated well with each other, but this group of people was different. It was more likely that they would each run away when disaster struck.

"To be honest, I have never seen such a strange thunder tribulation in all my years of life."

A middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "In my opinion, this thunder tribulation looks like... it is specially designed to strike the demons."

Otherwise it's hard to explain why this happens.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense."

The people next to him immediately raised their heads and carefully glanced in the direction of Ling Jianzong, "If they hear this, you will be in trouble."

The middle-aged cultivator sneered, "What are you afraid of? Not to mention the sect leader, even the elders dare not show up. They only sent a personal disciple. Isn't the meaning obvious enough?"

"I'm afraid that the person who is going through the tribulation inside... is not right."

His meaningful words immediately attracted the attention of some people around him.

That makes sense. If there wasn't something unknown that needed to be hidden, why would they suddenly choose to close the door to visitors?

They don't believe that there is nothing fishy about this.

If it is really as they guessed, even the five major sects will not be able to escape the criticism from the outside world.

There are many sects that want to step on them, but in the past they have been suppressed by the five sects and dare not show up. But if a disciple who is possessed by a demon appeared in the Sword Sect.

That would be much more interesting.

At this moment, in the world of cultivation, no matter whether it is the aristocratic families or the various sects, countless eyes are watching the movements of Ling Jianzong openly or secretly.

Fang Jinxing looked at the sky and stroked his beard, "Where are Xiaoxia and the others now?"

Elder Zhong Yi came over with the jade slip he had just hung up, and said in a very strange tone, "I just asked, and those bastards said they won't be coming back for now."

"hiss--"

Accidentally pulling off another beard, Fang Jinxing looked at it with distress for several times, then froze for a moment, "Not coming back? What do those little devils want to do now?"

For some reason, his first reaction upon hearing this was a bad feeling.

In the past, every time we went out for training, we were so anxious that we wanted to rush back to the sect and lie down for three days and three nights.

This sudden abnormality was obviously very wrong.

Elder Zhong Yi sighed, and even he himself felt that it was outrageous. "They said they wanted to go to Lingjian Sect to join in the fun and send some warmth to Xie Baiyi, so we don't have to worry."

"..."

Fang Jinxing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "What nonsense! Why are they joining in the fun at this time?" It didn't take much to realize that the Ling Jian Sect was probably in chaos.

Others didn't know the details, but the five sects were already well aware of the matter.

They wouldn't be able to help much at this time, so the alchemists of Yanxia Sect might be of some use. In order to prevent any trouble, the other four sects specifically ordered their disciples to stay in the sect for a few days.

I didn't expect that after all my calculations, I still made a mistake. I forgot that those little bastards of mine were not in the sect at all.

The new regulations that were passed down were of no use to them at all.

Of course, even in the sect, they probably wouldn’t obey.

Fang Jinxing couldn't help but feel a stomachache when he thought about the group of traitors he had raised.

Not only is there no one worry-free, but when five of them get together they want to poke a hole in the sky.

"Then...how about I go to Lingjian Sect in advance to intercept that person?" Elder Zhong Yi suggested.

At this time, even though they are from the same five sects, it is not appropriate for them to go to Lingjian Sect. After all, this is a private matter within the sect. However, he is still confident that he can wait outside Lingjian Sect in advance.

Elder Zhong Yi couldn't help but get excited and tried to capture the people so that they could feel why the flowers were so red.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jinxing remained silent for two seconds, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

"You know the personalities of those bastards. The more you forbid them to do something, the more they insist on doing it. Who knows, they might do something secretly when their rebellious mentality kicks in. If they want to go, then let them go."

After all, we are from the same school and we know each other. It's a pity to watch that child get into trouble.

Besides, the sect leaders all favor geniuses. If Gu Xia really wants to sneak in, the other party won’t beat her to death, right?

After such a long time, Fang Jinxing's mentality has become very stable.

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, as long as those little bastards are still alive.

At the same time, the five members of Taiyi Sect who were rushing back on the spirit boat couldn't help but sneeze together.

Who is secretly cursing them behind their backs?
