Chapter 969 How Did He Go Through the Back Door?

I saw many disciples gathering in front of the Lingjian Sect's mountain gate.

Although there are thousands of people, compared with the year when I took the assessment, the gap is indeed a bit big.

That year, there were so many people that it was impossible to squeeze in.

It has only been a few years, but it has actually become like this.

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised look, Gu Wan was helpless and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Ye, speaking of which, the sect's decline has something to do with you and the third young master."

"us?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Lingjian Sect was originally the only holy land of swordsmanship in the Qinglian world. As a result, the eldest young master left the sect alone and went to take over the East Sword Pavilion. Under his leadership, the East Sword Pavilion prospered and lost some of its disciples; not long after, You and the third young master went out to take over the Tiandao Sect, and also discovered the complete dragon vein..."

Gu Wan explained with a smile, "As for later, when the Land of Hundred Kingdoms rose again, all the geniuses were overwhelmed and wanted to rush inside. After going back and forth, the number of disciples who came to our Lingjian Sect to take the assessment naturally decreased a lot. So we have no choice but to lower the assessment standards so that we can recruit enough disciples."

After hearing what Gu Wan said, Ye Chen finally understood.

Nowadays, the holy land of cultivation that most geniuses yearn for is no longer a super sect.

When it comes to the cultivation environment, isn’t the Tiandao Sect with its two dragon veins much better than those super sects?

If you are more talented, you can try to join the forces in the Hundred Kingdoms. The cultivation environment there is even more exaggerated, far beyond those of the super sects.

When it comes to development and competition, Tiandao Sect and Hundred Kingdoms are far superior to Super Sect in every aspect.

In the past, some people might have thought that places like the Land of Hundred Kingdoms were too far apart in terms of background and could not be compared with the super sects.

Look, do people still say this kind of thing now?

Not even close?

How far?

Let’s talk about the background.

Is the heritage of the Land of Hundred Kingdoms really bad?

Strong people are like clouds, emerging one after another.

There are three great emperors in charge: the Empress, the Prime Minister, and the Beast Emperor of the Beast Kingdom.

Faced with the siege of three super giants, they all managed to survive. Are you telling me that your background is poor?

Nowadays, in the Qinglian world, the first choice for the first-class swordsman talent must be the Land of Hundred Kingdoms.

That's really like a crucian carp crossing a river, afraid that it will be slow and not catch up.

Everyone wants to join early, when the competition is the smallest, right?

Besides, Ye Chen is in charge of the land of hundreds of countries. Ye Chen is the undisputed number one genius among the young generation in the Qinglian world today. He has superb swordsmanship skills.

It is a blessing to be able to join his sect.

As for those with inferior talents, they would choose Tiandao Sect.

The cultivation environment of Tiandao Sect is better than that of all super sects, and the competition is smaller.

The leader of the clan, Xiao Xuan, was once the number one genius in swordsmanship in the Qinglian world, but he was surpassed by the latecomer Ye Chen.

In addition, there is Dongjian Pavilion.

After that, there is the Lingjian Sect.

Therefore, Lingjian Sect has long lost its dominant position among the sects and is no longer so popular.

"Now, what does the sect use to test the swordsmanship talent of its disciples?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Sword sharpening stone."

Gu Wan replied, "The disciple releases his sword intention and injects it into the sword sharpening stone. It will reflect the strength of your sword intention. This can be used to prove your swordsmanship talent to a certain extent."

"Not bad, but compared to the Lingjian Mountain of the past, it's still far behind."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, but then he remembered that Lingjian Mountain was shattered by him.

Recalling those things again, I just feel extremely sad.

Time flies!

Under the leadership of Gu Wan, Ye Chen passed the place where the disciples were tested and walked towards the sect.

Everything is still the same as it was a few years ago, not much has changed.

"Isn't this a back door?"

"Why can he enter the sect without passing the test?"

"Isn't that Senior Sister Gu? I heard that Senior Sister Gu is one of the examiners."

"Did she use her power for personal gain and bring people into the sect privately?"

"How could this be? Your Lingjian Sect is really full of shady secrets!"

Many disciples who were testing in front of the sword sharpening stone were furious when they saw this scene.

We have worked hard to pass three tests before we can reach the sword sharpening stone level. We must reach the standard of sword intent before we can enter the sect and become a disciple. But how about you, why can you just go in through the back door?

Just because you are handsome?

"Quiet."

An outer sect elder frowned and shouted coldly.

Many disciples in the field immediately stopped talking, but they still stared at Ye Chen's back with unconvinced and stubborn eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with this move.

The elder's gaze fell on Gu Wan and he frowned slightly.

She was always careful in everything she did, how could she make such a mistake at this critical moment?

Nowadays, it is more difficult for the sect to recruit disciples than before. If those disciples are made aware of the existence of backdoor practices, it will have a huge impact on the sect's reputation.

In the past, Lingjian Sect was the number one holy land of swordsmanship in the Qinglian world, so it didn't care about these rumors.

But it's different now.

Times have changed.

"Gu Wan."

The elder pondered for a moment and finally called her out.

No matter what relationship this young man had with her, since it caused public outrage, she could only take the test normally.

You said you, it’s not a good time to bring people in, but this is the time.

Gu Wan turned around, looking surprised, "Elder Liu, what's the matter?"

"Why are you so impetuous today? It's not impossible to go through the back door, but why do you deliberately choose to do this in public? Come here and let him take a test, at least it will be acceptable."

Elder Liu had a stern face and looked selfless, but he privately sent a message to her to teach her how to deal with it.

Gu Wan immediately understood Elder Liu's intentions when she heard it.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seemed that everyone mistakenly thought that she was going to bring people into the sect.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chen noticed that Gu Wan suddenly stopped and couldn't help but look at her.

"This, Senior Brother Ye, I'm really sorry..."

Gu Wan was a little embarrassed to speak, but she still recounted Elder Liu's words to Ye Chen verbatim.

"Is that so."

Ye Chen smiled, turned his head and looked at those indignant disciples, thinking of himself in the past.

It seems that every time he recruited disciples, many interesting things would happen.

"Since you want to test my sword intention, then do it."

Ye Chen turned and walked to the Sword Sharpening Stone, smiling.

A young man had just finished testing his sword talent.

He looked proud and sneered at Ye Chen's backdoor behavior.

Earlier, he had made the Sword Sharpening Stone burst out three rays of light, which was a rare talent.

Being able to make the Sword Sharpening Stone burst out light means that this boy has a good talent for swordsmanship and can enter the door.

Two rays of light means excellent, and there is a great possibility of entering the inner gate in the future.

Three rays of light are enough to join the inner gate.

Four rays of light will cause the inner gate elders to fight for it!
