Chapter 88 Return to the Sect
Chen Li couldn't help but frowned, "Why, are there other rules for going up the mountain?"
This outer sect disciple stared at Chen Li and said, "If we want to go up the mountain, we naturally need to pay some hard work fees to us. Don't you even know this rule?"
Chen Li looked displeased. He didn't expect that the outer sect was still the same as before, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
To be honest, this outer disciple had no idea how powerful Chen Li was. He just wanted to extort some money from him because he was too old and then spend it.
"Very good, you want to pay for your hard work, right? I wonder how about this thing?" Chen Li took out his inner disciple token and placed it in his hand.
"That's more like it...hiss!" The outer disciple, who was originally very arrogant, was stunned after seeing the token.
He has been in Nanli Sect for so many years, how could he not know that this is the exclusive token for the inner sect.
The outer disciples' bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and they had no idea what to do.
"Master, senior brother, please forgive me, I didn't know you were an inner disciple." The outer disciples were already terrified when they saw Chen Li.
Outer disciples have no human rights at all. Even if inner disciples want to kill them, it only takes a word.
Now that he has provoked Chen Li, isn't this equivalent to stretching his neck out and letting the other party chop him off?
Chen Li grabbed the badge and then reached out to him, "Take it out."
Hearing these words, the outer disciples naturally knew what Chen Li was talking about, and immediately handed the money they had taken away to Chen Li.
"Brother, these are my gifts to you, please take a look." The outer disciple said very respectfully.
Chen Li looked at the money and found that they were all valuable items.
Those who just gave money to this outer disciple must be some high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
"If I see you accepting this money again , don't blame me for being rude." Chen Li held these things in his hand, and in just a moment, the precious gold and silver turned into a pile of powder.
The outer disciples felt distressed.
Even if I feel heartbroken, what can I do? Compared with my own life, it is nothing.
"Yes, yes, I understand, Junior Brother." The outer disciple said very respectfully.
Chen Li did not continue to waste time here and left quickly.
As for the people around, they were all very shocked after seeing what Chen Li did.
It seems that the Nanli Sect is not as bad as I thought.
When Chen Li was going up the mountain, he felt a slightly strange oppressive force.
Although this suppressive force is not strong, it is enough to make some ordinary people feel difficulty breathing and weakness in their hands and feet.
Chen Li suddenly realized this. This time they were recruiting people, so naturally they had to do something with the stairs.
I'm afraid this is the first hurdle in recruiting.
He didn't expect that he would have to pass another level when he came back this time.
When they arrived at the outer gate, the people around them were a little surprised.
"This new guy is quite amazing. He has come up so quickly?" said an outer disciple.
When they saw the people who came here, they were completely stunned.
Because this person is Chen Li.
"Senior Brother Chen!" These people said in surprise.
Although they are outer disciples, how could they not know what happened in the outer sect?
Before, Chen Li entered the inner gate from the outer gate.
"I wonder where Elder Wu and the others are?" Chen Li wanted to enter the inner gate with the help of Elder Wu and the others.
"Elder Wu and the others are currently discussing something in the conference room. I'm afraid there isn't much time left." said the outer disciple.
"So that's how it is." Chen Li pondered, but did not think further, and chose to go towards the back mountain.
He was moving quite fast and was soon stopped by someone.
"Inner gate entrance, no outsiders are allowed to enter!" A terrifying aura directly suppressed Chen Li.
Chen Li suddenly stopped moving, feeling as if his body was restrained.
When I came to my senses, I was stunned.
"Elder Liu, I shouldn't be considered an outsider." Chen Li said with a wry smile.
Because the person who just came out from the inner gate was Liu Wan.
When Liu Wan saw Chen Li, a look of shock appeared on her face: "Chen Li!"
She didn't expect that Chen Li would come back at this time.
"You have been missing for five years. What happened?" When Liu Wan looked at Chen Li, the smile on her face deepened.
After Chen Li entered the secret realm of the blessed land, he had completely lost all information.
When Luo Chen told Xiao Yuan and Liu Wan the news, Xiao Yuan was furious.
Originally, Xiao Yuan had a very easy-going personality. On the day he learned the news, he almost had a good fight with Luo Chen.
That battle caused a lot of damage to Guyun Peak.
Unexpectedly, Chen Li came back again.
Chen Li smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. I wonder if Elder Liu can help me return to the inner gate."
Liu Wan was about to agree, but suddenly remembered something, "No, how about you accompany me to this newcomer conference? At least we have to make Elder Xiao anxious for a while."
Seeing Liu Wan smiling like that, Chen Li didn't know what to say.
Well, now that I'm back, I can take it easy on those things.
And he had to find someone.
"In that case, let's follow Elder Liu's arrangements." Chen Li said.
"Then follow me." Liu Wan said, and took Chen Li forward.
As Chen Li walked along, he felt somewhat puzzled. "Come to think of it, why can't I see Bai Xueyin?"
To participate in such an event, Liu Wan should have brought Bai Xueyin with her, but now she didn't. This naturally made Chen Li feel a little confused.
Liu Wan said, "It's nothing, it's just because her girl has been practicing."
If Bai Xueyin knew that Chen Li had returned, she would probably stop practicing immediately and go find Chen Li.
Chen Li didn't have too many thoughts. Anyway, everything was almost ready, so he just had to deal with his own affairs honestly.
When they arrived at the Elders' Hall at the outer gate, the people around them respectfully made way for them.
"Elders, how are you?" Liu Wan said after seeing everyone present.
Wu Qingren said respectfully: "Elder Liu, you are too polite. We are very happy that you still remember us old bones."
Chen Li looked at the elders in front of him and said, "Disciple Chen Li, I greet all the elders."
Wu Qingren and others were very pleased when they saw Chen Li.
Because the aura emanating from Chen Li was already similar to that of these outer sect elders.
The other inner disciples would never be so polite to them.
Only Chen Li would be so polite to them.
"I really didn't expect that after only a few years of not seeing you, you have already reached this level." Lei Yuntian said with some surprise when he saw Chen Li.
Chen Li said respectfully: "Elder, you are too kind. I still need to work harder."
The corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily. Was Chen Li being too modest?
If he continues to work hard, given some time, wouldn't he be able to break through to the Golden Core Stage?
There are certainly several Jindan-stage disciples in the Nanli Sect. They are the sect’s biggest trump cards and have been practicing for hundreds of years.
Chen Li is only this age now, but he is almost reaching the Golden Core stage. No matter how you look at it, he is a monster.
After taking a quick look around, Chen Li looked puzzled. "Speaking of which, why is Elder Hong nowhere to be seen?"
"He seems to have something important to do, so he has to leave the sect for a while." Jiang Yunya said this while stroking his beard.
Chen Li was a little surprised. Hong Mingyang actually had other things to do and left the sect?
Is it because of Zhao Bin’s matter?
Although he was not very clear, Chen Li did not think much about it and just nodded, "So that's how it is."
"Since both of you are here, let's go upstairs and observe how many of these children can enter the outer gate." Wu Qingren invited them.
Liu Wan nodded, "Okay."
Chen Li followed them to the attic upstairs and just watched quietly as the people outside tried their best to climb.
"Today is the last day of the first stage. It will probably be over in about an hour ." Wu Qingren said as he looked at the sky.
Climb the stairs.
This is the time to see if they have what it takes.
As long as one can climb the ladder under such pressure, one will be qualified to become a disciple of Nanli Sect.
If he had not demonstrated his aptitude on the second stage of the spirit-testing platform, he would probably have been relegated to menial duties even if he had not been selected.
Chen Li looked at the people around him. They were breathing heavily and looked very uncomfortable.
Come to think of it, it was almost extremely difficult for me to climb this ladder before.
With a spirit of not admitting defeat, he kept climbing up and joined in almost at the right time.
I never thought that I have been through so much.
Um?
At this time, Chen Li felt an unknown breath.
He was a child of about fifteen years old, but for some reason, he had an ominous aura about him.
Is it my own illusion?
"What's wrong?" Liu Wan saw Chen Li staring at someone and asked.
Chen Li shook his head, "Nothing."
It was just his illusion, and he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
So that's all I can do.
An hour passed quickly, and Chen Li discovered that quite a few people were selected for the first stage.
"There are quite a lot of people who have passed the selection this time, much more than before." Wu Qingren said with great satisfaction after seeing the selected people.
However, Chen Li found something wrong.
"It seems that it was not my illusion just now." Chen Li frowned and said so.
Liu Wan also noticed something was wrong: "There's always a very ominous aura coming from those people."
After hearing this, several outer sect elders felt very strange. Could it be that something went wrong?
Suddenly, streams of bloody auras continued to emerge, which directly shocked Chen Li.
