C7

The organizer of the competition today was the Misty Peak's Elder Bai. Following his command to stop, Ye Zhifa and Sun Qi both stopped what they were doing, their bodies already covered in red wounds.

There was an inch long wound on Ye Zhifa's left cheek. The blood that was left behind had already dyed his entire left cheek red, making him look quite terrifying.

Elder Bai's gaze drifted between the two of them for a while before stopping on Ye Zhifa. He asked sternly: "Ye Zhifa, why did you attack so heavily, to the point of disregarding your fellow sect members' friendship, injure Sun Qi's right hand that is holding the sword?"

"Elder Bai, he was the one who cheated first. It was only because Sun Qi used his concealed weapon first that this disciple had no choice but to do so!"

In order to increase his persuasion, Ye Zhifa pointed to his back. That silver needle was still on the ground.

Elder Bai glanced at the silver needles on the ground before shaking his head in an undetectable manner. He continued to ask: "This doesn't mean that he was ambushing me. Do you have any other evidence?"

"If it wasn't for his sneak attack, why would there be a silver needle here?" Furthermore, there are so many people here, could it be that no one saw it? "

"Then you can go and ask, did anyone else see Sun Qi's sneak attack?"

Ye Zhifa looked around, hoping that someone would stand up and support him for a while, but sorrowfully realised that no one actually stood up to speak for him.

In the drill grounds, there were some people whose cultivation was too low, or who were not focused enough, and were unable to see the needle clearly. But for those who could see clearly, it was better to avoid all the trouble, why bother speaking up for Ye Zhifa?

Ye Zhifa had heard so much about this kind of cold world, but when it really happened to him, his heart was filled with sorrow.

"Although Ye Zhifa won in the competition, he can still hurt his fellow sect members. Seven days later, Sun Qi, you will be an inner disciple of our Sword Palace since you have participated in the disciple recruitment ceremony. "

Thank you, Clan Elder Bai, it's just that Ye Zhifa is so fierce, shouldn't there be punishment?

Sun Qi gaining an inch for an inch caused Elder Bai to be stunned for a moment. He had sold this favor to Sun Qi, but he did not have the intention to completely destroy Ye Zhifa.

"Sun Qi, you are shameless!"

"Ye Zhifa, you injured my tendons, do you think this matter will be resolved so easily?"

Seeing that there was about to be another dispute, a voice filled with alcohol could be heard from the elders' seats.

"Senior Bai, you are the host of today's Large Competition. It is naturally up to you to decide who will go to the inner sect." But Junior Brother would like to ask, if I accept a Successor Disciple, I will be able to make the decision, right? "

"Junior Du, of course, the legacy of a Successor Disciple is only up to your choice, how can I interrupt you?"

"That's good."

At this time, the Elder Du who had just spoken stood up. However, his black hair and beard were a lot younger than the other Elders around him.

After tidying up his clothes, the Elder Du pointed at Ye Zhifa and said: "Then this kid shall do. I think he is rather pleasing to the eye, let's just him."

"Junior Du, have you thought about how precious a Successor Disciple is? How can you randomly choose a person? Furthermore, your Falling Goose Peak has always had one teacher and one disciple. It would be inappropriate for you to make such hasty decisions! "

"Senior-apprentice Brother White, you also told me that I can choose my own true disciple." When he said till here, Elder Du's expression became serious, and his drunken eyes started to shine: "Besides, I think that this kid is lonely, and that he's also very suitable for my Falling Goose Peak."

A true disciple could not be compared to an inner sect disciple, it was a place where the true elites of a sect resided. If Elder Du were to say that he wanted to recruit disciples, then those inner sect disciples would definitely take the opportunity to do so.

But he had used words to hold onto Elder Bai, and now that he proposed to accept Ye Zhifa as a disciple, no one present was able to raise any objections.

The conclusion of the Large Competition this time around was beyond everyone's expectations. At this moment, everyone was also sighing endlessly.

Elder Bai still wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words in the end. He changed his tone and called for everyone to disperse, then he took the lead and left. Soon after, the others also left one after another, and even Sun Qi left the drill grounds after looking resentfully at Ye Zhifa for a while. Only Ye Zhifa and Elder Du who were still a little at a loss remained.

"Brat, come with me. Right now, the people on this Hidden Ying Peak are all worried. It will not be peaceful for you to stay here. I don't want to be unable to protect even a disciple, and will be laughed at by your grandmaster later on. "

"Yes, Elder Du … Oh no, Master. "

However, you don't have to be in a hurry to call me master right now. After you return to the Falling Goose Peak and kowtow, you can change your mind.

The Elder Du didn't seem to be willing to dawdle. With a wave of his sleeve, Ye Zhifa immediately felt the world spinning around him. When he finally woke up, he was already on top of another mountain peak.

"Follow me, we'll go meet the elders of Falling Goose Peak."

Even Ye Zhifa was a little unable to keep up with his tempo when he was working in the Elder Du. He could only obediently follow him as he walked into the only palace on top of the Falling Goose Peak.

Compared to the palace which Huang Xi's master resided in, this "Cloud Immortal Palace" was not only much smaller in size, there was also no one to clean and serve it.

Seeing Ye Zhifa's curious look, the Elder Du didn't say a word and brought him forward, until they arrived in front of a bronze door that was located in the deepest part of the city.

When the Elder Du reached his hand out, the bronze door opened up towards the interior, and when Ye Zhifa looked inside, he discovered that behind the bronze door was actually a spirit hall with many memorial tablets placed on it!

In this world, there were truly ghosts and gods. Ye Zhifa was a little afraid of the mourning hall, but the Elder Du had already entered, so he could only follow along quickly.

Waiting until inside, Ye Zhifa could see that under most of the tablets was a scroll and a treasured sword.

"What this place worships are the ancestors of the Falling Goose Peak. The scroll painting is their image and the sword is the last thing they leave behind for the Falling Goose Peak. Ye Zhifa, kneel. "

After Ye Zhifa kneeled down, the Elder Du waved his hand, and the top scroll flew up into the air. The person in the drawing was a strange looking black-clothed Taoist with two pupils.

"This is the founder of Falling Goose Peak, Grandmaster Hong Yan. However, the ancestor's sword has fallen somewhere, if you were to see the sword painted on it one day, you can find a way to keep it. Now, kowtow three times to the ancestor. "

Ye Zhifa first remembered the appearance of the man in the picture with a sword, then kowtowed three times in respect to his ancestors.

After taking back the scroll, Elder Du raised his hand again to summon the bottom one. The picture was of a beautiful woman with a gentle smile on her face.

"This is my master, your grandteacher, Lin Feiyu. Kowtow to her three times."

When Elder Du mentioned Lin Feiyu, his tone was filled with nostalgia.

After Ye Zhifa finished kowtowing, Elder Du stood in front of him.

"My name is Du Lin, from ancient times onwards, there has been one teacher and one disciple in our Falling Goose Peak. From today onwards, you are my disciple. In the future, if you were to accept a disciple, you must also learn from me. Let him pay respects to his master first, then his master, and finally himself.

"Master, I, your disciple, will remember this."

Ye Zhifa kowtowed three more times.

Thus, he was the honorable successor to the Falling Goose Peak!
