"Master!" Wang Jin paid his respects.
Zhao Jianpeng nodded, then said to the rest of them: "This is the newly recruited disciple, you all know him."
Everyone began to exchange pleasantries as they introduced themselves.
At this time, the Claymore Peak had already gathered twenty-two disciples. Zhao Jianpeng then said: "Ever since we recruited Wang Jin and Zheng Xuezhao, our Claymore Peak has had seventy-three disciples. Seven more people died in A Land Of Desolation, leaving only the sixty-seven disciples. "
"Huh?"
"What's going on, Master?"
"Did they not listen to his advice and went to the third floor?" All the disciples asked one after another.
Zhao Jianpeng waved his hand, signalling the disciples to stop their conversations, and then continued: "This is not the most important thing. You all also know that a mysterious and evil organization has recently appeared in our Azure Mountain Kingdom, specially designed to kill ordinary people and Low-Cost Fighter.
While our Tongqing Sect has sent out our bloodline from the Claymore Peak to investigate this matter, Master has already sent a total of forty-five disciples down the mountain to check this matter, including those who were originally from the sect and those who had gone down the mountain a long time ago. Originally, we considered this matter as a rare experience, but in the end, I was wrong. "
Speaking till here, Zhao Jianpeng stopped, his expression was gloomy, and everyone suddenly had a bad premonition.
Zhao Jianpeng sighed, then said sorrowfully: "Out of the disciples who went down the mountain, three of them died. We only have sixty-four disciples left now."
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.
"Our sect is truly despicable. Could it be that because our Claymore Peak is at the bottom of the sixteen Peak-Pulse, we are the only ones given this kind of dangerous mission?"
"That's right, we are the cannon fodder!" The ones who died were us! But they don't have to do anything at all, and every day, they enjoy superior cultivation resources that surpass our Claymore Peak! "
"They are all inner court disciples, why must they treat us so unfairly?!"
All of the disciples shouted in anger, all of them dissatisfied with the Tongqing Sect.
Zhao Jianpeng said as he gave a wry smile, "This cannot be completely blamed on the sect. No one knew about the danger of that mysterious organization beforehand, so they thought that they had only picked for ordinary people and Low-Level Fighter to take action. This made us seriously underestimate the strength of the enemies.
Everyone immediately became silent. Their faces were filled with gloom, but they still could not forgive Tongqing Sect. After all, it was true that their Claymore Peak had been discriminated against.
Someone suddenly said, "We can only blame ourselves. Our strength is the weakest. Only those who are strong enough will not be bullied."
When everyone heard this, they all clenched their fists as their entire body trembled.
Another person asked, "Master, is Junior Sister Zhao Yuling alright? "Those three who died were from the same sect …"
"Pah pah pah!" Someone interrupted him. "If something happens to Junior Sister Zhao Yuling, Master will be in even more pain."
"I hope nothing will happen to the Junior Sister Zhao."
"Yeah, I've always liked her. If something were to happen to her, I would rather die for her." Another few disciples said.
When Wang Jin heard this, he thought: It seems that Lin Daide isn't the only one who is chasing after Senior Sister Zhao in Claymore Peak. He only hopes that she won't use him as a shield anymore.
Zhao Jianpeng raised his hand to tell everyone to stop talking, then continued, "I thank all of you for taking care of Ling'er, don't worry, she's not dead yet."
"Phew …" Many people heaved a sigh of relief.
"But the situation isn't good." Zhao Jianpeng said again, "The forty-two disciples who are still alive at the foot of the mountain, along with the disciples from the other sects, have been trapped in Su Zhuang's Mustard Seed Space."
"Su Zhuang? Su Zhuang's people are still considered decent, why are they colluding with the evil? " Some disciples who did not know what was going on shouted in anger.
Zhao Jianpeng said in a serious tone, "According to reliable information, half of Su Zhuang was killed by the mysterious organization. His loyalty has already been completely exterminated. The mysterious organization had transformed the Mustard Seed Space and strengthened its defenses by ten times. Perhaps, the place had already become one of its bases of operations.
The sects and aristocratic families who investigated previously did not understand that Su Zhuang was already controlled by the mysterious organization and thus fell into the trap they had designed.
Su Zhuang's Su Family was located in the west side of Azure Mountain Country. It was an ancient family, and the strength of the family was comparable to a quasi-great sect.
But Su Zhuang's Mustard Seed Space, was a world of its own, which meant that there was another small world within the Mortal Continent. This mustard space was around the size of ten Nan Tiancheng s combined. Ordinary people would have to walk around for five days.
It was said that more than two thousand years ago, the Su Family produced a powerful Spatial Essence. He was the one who established Su Zhuang, and used his entire life's worth of time to create Su Zhuang's Mustard Seed Space.
"We must save our fellow sect members!" The disciples of Claymore Peak all shouted.
"We must save him no matter what. But this time, not only us Claymore Peak s, our Tongqing Sect s have requested for all sixteen Peak-Pulse s to send five people to save him. Duxiu Peak s are no exception. Furthermore, the other sects and aristocratic families are also sending people to rescue their disciples, no longer treating them as part of their experiential learning, but more like killing the enemy! " Zhao Jianpeng said with shining eyes.
Then, he continued: "Of course, how could our Claymore Peak, in order to save fellow sect members, send just five? We will go all out! "
"Save our fellow sect!" Save the Junior Sister Zhao! " Everyone shouted.
"Because the Sect Leader has requested me to do something special, I cannot lead the team. This time, the team leader will be handed over to us, the strongest cultivator, Third Brother Meng Tuanqing!" Zhao Jianpeng said.
"We can rest assured with third senior leading the way!"
"That's right. Not only is third senior brother's cultivation the strongest, he's also very experienced. He won't fall into the enemy's trap so easily." All the disciples shouted in succession.
Seeing that, Wang Jin thought in his heart: It seems like this third senior brother of hers is very popular. He heard from Zhao Yuling that back then when she was going to the A Land Of Desolation, she had always been protecting that group of disciples by third senior brother Meng Tuanqing, and when she met a strong Goblin King, she was always killed by him, and did not receive any rewards to fairly distribute the elemental artifact. She is much stronger than that Lin Daide, so she should not be a fake character.
A young man with a simple build and slightly curly hair but an imposing aura stepped forward and strode over to Zhao Jianpeng. This person's brow was pale and his eyes were bright. It was obvious at a glance that he was a martial artist with a deep cultivation.
Third senior brother turned around to face the other Claymore Peak disciples and loudly shouted: "Fellow junior brothers, this trip is more dangerous than anything else, everyone must not fall behind. Our second objective is to investigate the origins of the mysterious organization and whether or not it is related to the legendary The Great Calamity Of The Blue Mountain Nation. "
"Yes!" Zhao Jianpeng gave a thumbs up.
Third Senior Brother Meng Tuanqing was relatively easy-going, and often joked around with other disciples of the same sect. Thus, right now, there was someone who asked jokingly: "Third Senior Brother, if we encounter a situation like this, and can only save our Claymore Peak and our sect, or can only save the other great sects by two. If the one who doesn't save is undoubtedly dead, then how should we choose?"
"That's right, third senior brother, you're in charge. You have to make a decision." Everyone laughed.
"Of course it's to save our fellow sect members. If the other sects can save them, then save them, but if they can't, then ignore them. In any case, in their eyes, our Claymore Peak is the lowest, so why are you looking down on us?" Meng Tuanqing said while grinning.
"Alright!" Everyone clapped, while Zhao Jianpeng shook his head and laughed bitterly.
Wang Jin was speechless when he heard this, and thought that this third senior brother Meng Tuanqing was the same as Zhao Jianpeng's master, a person who truly protected the interests of the Claymore Peak. Maybe, in his eyes, Claymore Peak was more important than Tongqing Sect.
"This senior brother." Wang Jin suddenly turned his head and asked a slightly fat senior brother beside him.
"Hmm? If junior has anything to say, please say it. " The slightly plump senior brother laughed.
"Third senior brother has the highest cultivation among us, so what realm is he in now?" Wang Jin asked curiously.
"Our third senior brother is the owner of the fiftieth Beast Summoning in the《 elemental spirit List》." "Beast Summoning is one of the few most ranked ordinary elemental spirit, and the third senior brother is currently at the elemental spirit level of cultivation."
"He's actually at the ninth level of the elemental spirit Realm. I think he can't be considered old, younger than most of you, he shouldn't be over thirty years old, right?" Wang Jin asked again.
"Yes, he is a proud member of the Meng Family, one of the great families of the Azure Mountain Country. Originally, he could have relied on his talent to join the Duxiu Peak, but it was said that because Master unintentionally helped him back then, he had to enter the Claymore Peak no matter what."
"Good talent, good cultivation, and a person who understands gratitude." Wang Jin nodded.
"Of course, Third Senior Brother is the pride of our Claymore Peak. You must know, other than the strongest Duxiu Peak disciple Luo Jiancheng is of the elemental spirit Realm, the strongest disciples of other Peak-Pulse are all of the elemental spirit Realm, and our Third Senior Brother is of the elemental spirit Realm."
"Ugh …"
"But let me tell you!" "In the past, during the Peak-Pulse Large Competition, many disciples with the strongest Peak-Pulse were not willing to fight with Third Senior Brother. Third Senior Brother was extremely powerful. But our Claymore Peak only has the support of Third Senior Brother, so everyone has dragged him down. "
"Third Senior is so powerful, even elemental spirit s are afraid of him at the early stage, why?" Wang Jin was curious.
"You'll know in the future." The slightly chubby senior brother tried to keep them in the dark.
"Disciples!" Zhao Jianpeng suddenly said loudly. Go down and prepare yourself. A month later, meet up with the other Peak-Pulse disciples at the Tongqing Sect arena and set off together with them! "
"Why is it a month later?" Everyone asked.
"Don't worry everyone, the disciples who go first are only trapped in Su Zhuang's Mustard Seed Space, but they are still safe. The disciples that are trapped in the various sects and families, under the guidance of the disciples of the Zhuge family, set up a great defensive formation, which can support them for half a year. As for why they took a month to get there, it's because some experts still need a month's time to figure out how to enter the Su Family's Mustard Seed Space. There's nothing that can be done about that. "
After Zhao Jianpeng gave a few more instructions, all the disciples left their Sword-Slaying Peak Great Hall and returned to their cave to cultivate.
Wang Jin thought that after he settled the matter with Su Zhuang, he would return to Nan Tiancheng and inquire about the whereabouts of the Li Family.
