After driving Xu Rui away, Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong threw all the slop buckets out of the room and cleaned the house. 520 official website

It was noon.
Lin Bai took out some wild beast meat from the storage space and barbecued it in the courtyard with Qi Shaolong and Tiedan.
"Big Brother Lin Bai, you're so amazing. Can you teach me martial arts in the future?" Tiedan looked at Lin Bai with admiration.
"Yeah, Lin Bai, you're too strong. You defeated Xu Rui with just one punch. Is that your specialized boxing technique?" Qi Shaolong was also greatly surprised by Lin Bai's strength.
"Hehe, my boxing technique isn't that great. What I'm best at is swordsmanship."
Lin Bai pointed to the Zhanling Sword beside him and said with a smile.
Qi Shaolong was shocked again.
Lin Bai defeated Xu Rui with just a punch without using his sword. If Lin Bai had used his sword, Xu Rui probably wouldn't have even had the chance to blink before dying on the spot.
"It's ready to eat."
Lin Bai handed the cooked food to Tiedan and Qi Shaolong.
Tiedan picked up the meat and started eating it in large bites.
"Lin Bai, you're so strong. Even if you join the Divine Alliance, they probably wouldn't refuse you," Qi Shaolong said.
"Divine Alliance?" Lin Bai looked at Qi Shaolong in confusion.
Qi Shaolong smiled lightly and said, "It seems you don't know. The Divine Alliance is the top alliance in the Spirit Sword Sect. All nine core disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect are now warriors of the Divine Alliance."
"And the leader of the Divine Alliance is the Young Sect Master!"
Lin Bai had just entered the Spirit Sword Sect but knew about its hierarchy: three thousand outer disciples, nine hundred inner disciples, nine core disciples, and one Young Sect Master.
The Young Sect Master is the candidate to succeed the Spirit Sword Sect's leader in the future.
The nine core disciples will all become the new leader's right-hand men in the future.
Therefore, every Young Sect Master chooses a group of central warriors to follow them and elevates them to the position of core disciples.
Of course, there are also warriors who rely on their own strength to become core warriors.
But such people are rare.
Because the next step above core disciples is the Young Sect Master.
If a disobedient warrior reaches the position of core disciple, the Young Sect Master will definitely take action to eliminate them because they threaten the Young Sect Master's position!
The Divine Alliance that Qi Shaolong mentioned earlier is a force personally established by the current Young Sect Master.
It is the most powerful alliance within the Spirit Sword Sect, with almost eighty percent of the disciples belonging to the Divine Alliance.
"Is that so?" Lin Bai was greatly surprised after hearing Qi Shaolong's explanation of the Divine Alliance.
"Shaolong, you know so much about the Spirit Sword Sect?"
Lin Bai asked curiously.
Qi Shaolong smiled and said, "Since I'm coming to the Spirit Sword Sect to learn, I naturally need to understand the local customs and conditions here."
"Lin Bai, if you become a Divine Alliance disciple in the future, you have to protect us and let us show off a bit," Qi Shaolong said with a laugh.
"Haha."
Lin Bai smiled but didn't commit to it.
Lin Bai didn't know much about the Divine Alliance and had no interest in it.
Lin Bai came to the Spirit Sword Sect just to use its cultivation resources.
"Shaolong, since you know so much about the Spirit Sword Sect, have you heard of Ling Tianzi?" Lin Bai asked Qi Shaolong again.
"Ling Tianzi!" Qi Shaolong was shocked.
"Why are you asking about him?"
"I'm just curious. Do you know where he is?"
Lin Bai asked with a smile.
Qi Shaolong said, "Ling Tianzi rarely appears in the Spirit Sword Sect, so there's very little information about him."
"From the information I have, Ling Tianzi is a mysterious person who suddenly joined the Spirit Sword Sect a hundred years ago. No one knows his strength."
"According to legend, when he joined the Spirit Sword Sect, he even fought with our Supreme Leader, but no one knows the outcome of that battle."
"Subsequently, the Spirit Sword Sect assigned him a peak, and he has been cultivating there, rarely coming out."
Qi Shaolong detailed everything he knew to Lin Bai.
"Where is that peak?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
Qi Shaolong looked around and pointed to a tall mountain not far from the disciples' courtyard: "That peak is called White Cloud Peak."
Lin Bai looked up at the peak and memorized it in his mind.
Since Lin Yue asked Lin Bai to become Ling Tianzi's disciple, Lin Bai naturally had to go to White Cloud Peak to check it out.
However, at that moment,
The courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open forcefully.
"Lin Bai, Qi Shaolong, come out and die!"
Xu Rui kicked open the gate and roared at the three people barbecuing in the courtyard.
"It's that scum Xu Rui. He dares to come back!" Qi Shaolong was furious and walked out of the door with his sword drawn.
Lin Bai and Tiedan followed him.
When they reached the door, Lin Bai saw a group of unfriendly-looking warriors standing outside the courtyard, staring at them.
"Xu Rui, you dare to come back!" Qi Shaolong said coldly.
"You hit me, so you must pay with blood!" Xu Rui said with a cold laugh.
"Was it you who hit Xu Rui?"
At this moment, a long-faced young man stepped out from the group of warriors behind Xu Rui, looking at Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong with a cold expression.
"Who are you? This is between Xu Rui and us. Please don't interfere," Qi Shaolong said coldly.
"Hehe, remember my name, because in the future, you will live in fear of this name."
"Got it."
"My name is Xu Shangjie!"
"Who is Xu Shangjie? I don't know him." Qi Shaolong said bluntly, not giving him any face.
Since Qi Shaolong didn't know him, Lin Bai wouldn't know him either.
"Are you blind? Our Young Master Xu is one of the three New Kings in this year's Spirit Sword Sect recruitment!"
"The young master of the Imperial Capital Xu Family! A world-class expert about to break through to the True Martial Realm!"
The warriors behind Xu Shangjie immediately started boasting.
New Kings refer to the strongest few among the geniuses from various cities this year.
Since Xu Shangjie is recognized as a New King, his strength is undoubtedly formidable.
"I'm curious. Since we're all new to the Spirit Sword Sect, why are you bullying us? Aren't we on the same side?"
Lin Bai asked curiously at this moment.
A warrior said, "You don't understand. Only through battles can one quickly and easily showcase their strength and gain the sect's attention."
"More importantly, to gain the attention of the Divine Alliance!"
"This year, seven hundred new disciples have come to the Spirit Sword Sect."
"To stand out among these seven hundred, you must first dominate the courtyard and then quickly rise to prominence!"
"After the trial in seven days, if you are truly outstanding, the Divine Alliance will naturally invite you to join."
"Do you understand now?"
The warrior said arrogantly.
"No wonder I heard that every year, half of the new disciples die before the trial even begins. The reason is to gain fame, right?" Lin Bai said with a faint smile.
Xu Rui said angrily, "Brother Shangjie, don't waste time talking to them."
"Disable their dantians and hand them over to me for disposal!"
Xu Rui said to Xu Shangjie.
Xu Shangjie nodded silently: "They don't need me to take action."
"Go ahead."
Xu Shangjie said to the group of warriors behind him.
