Hearing this unexpected news, Mo Beichen's heart was startled, he felt that this matter was not that simple.
There was no other reason. In the Lihuo City, he was ranked seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively. No matter who it was, their overall strength was much stronger than Cold Martial Sect.
In the past, Dragon Tiger Sect would only recruit disciples once every three years, while Nine Stars Valley and Perishing Sun Palace would only be accepted once every five years.
However, at this critical juncture, they suddenly appeared out of nowhere and interjected. Their purpose for doing so was quite thought-provoking. Anyone with a brain would be able to see through their evil intentions.
Why did the Cold Martial Sect have to recruit new disciples every year? The reason for this was that the strength of the disciples was not the same. Some of the disciples were green and yellow, which was not good for the future development of the sect.
They all had the same mindset. They would give them a certain number of slots every year, hoping that they would be lucky enough to meet a talented youth.
However, no one would have thought that this year, someone would suddenly appear and cause trouble.
Facing those sects that were far more powerful than their Cold Martial Sect, as long as one wasn't a fool, everyone knew what to choose.
"Dammit, this move of theirs is too ruthless. It's going to cut off our roots!" With a heavy stomp on the crutch in his hand, a white-haired old man's eyes were spewing fire. His withered hand was trembling slightly.
"These bastards, are they trying to add insult to injury?"
"So you're saying that the forces that were assaulting and killing our disciples for outside training a few days ago were involved in this?"
"Not only that, those medicinal herb merchants all used all sorts of excuses to no longer cooperate with us. They even risked breaking the contract and wanted to end the deal that they had agreed upon. It must be them behind the scenes."
As the Head Elder of the Alchemy Hall, he had no medicine to refine these days. If the sect couldn't issue any pills, then the cultivation of their disciples would be greatly affected. This caused Elder Chen to be depressed and he was already full of anger.
"Hmph, these rascals, they finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started to attack us from the front?" If you want to suppress my Cold Martial Sect, I'm afraid it will not be as easy as they think! "
An old man with a dignified appearance angrily said, his eyes full of hatred. The moment he said that, the surrounding people immediately quietened down. They all looked at him with a trace of respect.
Mo Beichen raised his head to take a look, and realised that the person who spoke was none other than Floating Cloud Peak's Head, Yu Jinghong.
To be able to become the head of a mountain, Yu Jinghong's strength was naturally not to be underestimated. He was an existence that could be placed in the top three of the entire Cold Martial Sect.
Seeing the indignant expression on everyone's faces, Sect Leader Han Beiwang also had a dignified look, his expression was extremely cold.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "I guess I don't need to explain their goal anymore as everyone is very clear about it. It can be said without any exaggeration that my Cold Martial Sect is facing the biggest crisis in history.
If we can't get through this difficult time safely, then we can imagine that they will definitely advance a step further and use even more schemes and tricks to murder my Cold Martial Sect.
All these years, we have all known about the situation with regards to our Cold Martial Sect. It was already difficult for him to maintain his current position. What I am worried about right now is not the tenth rank, which is in danger, but whether or not my Cold Martial Sect can protect my legacy under the influence of the ring of strong enemies.
It's not that I'm exaggerating or making a fuss over nothing, but if we still do not make any move, then we might not be far from the edge of destruction! "
The Sect Leader's tone was heavy, and when he spoke, his mood was piqued, allowing others to hear the sadness in his words.
Initially, some people didn't think much of this incident and only treated it as a normal sniper attack or another malicious run. However, when they heard the Sect Leader's words, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. It was far more serious than they thought.
A heavy sense of danger, like a mountain, suddenly descended from the sky and pressed down on everyone's hearts, making them all feel as if they were shouldering a heavy responsibility, and their hearts were filled with danger.
"That's quite a good plan, didn't they want to openly recruit disciples at the Lihuo City? Then we'll go too! Everyone relied on their own ability to compete fairly. I don't believe that they can eliminate all the good seedlings in one fell swoop! "
The head of the Lunar Shadow Peak, Wei Yongchun, also stood up. With an ice-cold indifference on his face, he revealed the thoughts in his heart.
Hearing his words, Mo Beichen's heart moved. Originally, he didn't think much of it, so he came here to gather numbers. But now, it seemed that there really was something he could do.
Apart from him, everyone else had their own seats. It was unknown if it was due to someone being careless or if it was deliberate, but only Mo Beichen stood by the door.
However, he didn't care about these small matters at all. He took a step forward with an eager expression and said: "Frankly speaking, it's just stealing. This is simple, leave it to me." As long as I show my face, I guarantee that I'll be able to bring back the best seedlings that are worth cultivating on the spot.
Mo Beichen's expression was full of confidence, and did not show any signs of worry at all.
Hearing his confident words, everyone in the crowd was stunned. They wondered if he had not woken up yet, so why was he blindly shouting in such a serious manner? Did he think this was child's play?
"Hmph, boasting shamelessly! No one dared to make such a promise among all the people present. How dare you spout such outrageous words? Is it just to get attention? If so, you have succeeded in drawing the attention of all of us. "
Lunar Shadow Peak's vice president revealed a look of disdain, ridiculing Mo Beichen only because he wanted to attract everyone's attention, that was why he was spouting nonsense.
He was just worried that he would not have the chance to find trouble with Mo Beichen, but seeing that he was actually spouting nonsense, Elder Chen was overjoyed, knowing that the chance to strike Mo Beichen was here.
His face immediately became dejected as his anger flared. He opened his mouth and fiercely scolded, "Shut up, where is a yellow-haired brat like you going to come from!?"
Do you think that those people are fools for not going to any of the better sects only recognize me as Cold Martial Sect? As for the Nine Stars Valley, the Dragon Tiger Sect and the people from the Valley of the Falling Sun, they were all not kind people, wouldn't they stop them from the middle and try to stop them?
Ignorant things have nothing but words. I think it would be better for you to stay in the sect, in case you fail to help when the time comes and cause our Cold Martial Sect to lose face. "
Elder Chen's reprimand received the approval of many people, causing them to nod their heads, their faces filled with disappointment as they looked at Mo Beichen, giving him a warning look.
Some rolled their eyes and said with ill intentions: "You can't put it that way. Since Chief Mo is so confident and wants to help the sect, why don't you give him this important task." I believe that with his efforts, this time, my Cold Martial Sect will definitely be able to achieve a complete victory, and make all the schemes of the other sects come to naught! "
Elder Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought to himself, "High!"
Why didn't I think of such a plan? In that case, Mo Beichen would use a rock to smash his feet, and at that time, even if he wanted to defend himself, it would be impossible.
He followed the owner of the voice and discovered that it was none other than his good friend Elder Zhang. The two of them looked at each other, they understood each other, allowing Elder Chen to look at Mo Beichen sinisterly, he decided to send another wave of support.
