Chapter 1682
Chapter 1682
The night shrouded Tianxiang Mountain, and the stars were twinkling, but they could not illuminate the deep darkness of the Holy Land.
Huo Jilin had just finished a day of practice in his room and was about to rest.
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door. Huo Jilin was puzzled, and he got up and opened the door, only to see several disciples of the Holy Land standing outside the door in a hurry.
"Huo Jilin, the Palace Master has ordered you to go to the mangrove forest at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible to discuss important matters." One of the disciples said, his eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look at Huo Jilin.
Huo Jilin frowned, feeling something strange in his heart: "The Palace Master is looking for me? Why so suddenly, and without informing me in advance?"
"This is an urgent order from the Palace Master, and it must not be delayed!" Another disciple said anxiously.
Although Huo Jilin was suspicious, he was worried that there was really something important. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go.
On the other side, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were walking in the Holy Land, chatting about what they had seen and heard recently.
"Old Wang, you said Huo Jilin has been in the limelight recently." Hu Bayi said with a smile.
"That's right, this kid has ability, but it's easy to be envied." Wang Kaixuan echoed.
As they walked, they accidentally heard the conversation between the disciples and Huo Jilin.
Hu Bayi frowned, "Old Wang, I think something is wrong. Why would the Palace Master suddenly ask Huo Jilin to go to the mangroves at the foot of the mountain so late, and not send someone to escort him?"
Wang Kaixuan also reacted, "Old Hu, you are right, there may be something fishy here."
"No, we have to follow him and see, just in case Huo Jilin is in danger." Hu Bayi said.
Wang Kaixuan nodded, "Let's go!"
Huo Jilin came to the mangroves at the foot of the mountain. It was silent all around, with only the occasional calls of night owls, which made people feel cold.
"Why is there no one?" Huo Jilin's doubts became deeper and deeper.
At this moment, the disciples suddenly showed their ferocious faces.
"Huo Jilin, today is your death day!" The leading disciple said viciously.
Huo Jilin was shocked, "How dare you fake the will of the Palace Master? What is your purpose?"
"Humph, who let you get the favor of the Deputy Palace Master and taught you the Sky-peeking Skill? We don't accept it!" A disciple shouted.
Huo Jilin shouted angrily: "Just because of this jealousy, you did such a rebellious thing?"
"Stop talking nonsense, do it!" With an order, several disciples cast spells and attacked Huo Jilin.
Huo Jilin hurriedly responded, secretly complaining in his heart: "These guys are not weak, I have to be careful."
Just when Huo Jilin was gradually getting into trouble, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan arrived in time.
"Brother Huo, we are here to help you!" Hu Bayi shouted loudly.
Wang Kaixuan also shouted: "Dare to bully Brother Huo, I will punish you!"
The disciples were shocked when they saw Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan appear.
"Why are you here?"
Hu Bayi sneered: "With your little tricks, can you still hide from us?"
After that, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan joined the battle.
"Brother Huo, are you okay?" Hu Bayi asked while attacking.
Huo Jilin replied: "I'm fine, thank you Brother Hu and Brother Wang."
Wang Kaixuan said loudly: "Let's beat these guys together!"
With the tacit cooperation of the three, the disciples who had ill intentions gradually couldn't resist.
"Don't fight, we were wrong!" A disciple begged for mercy.
Huo Jilin glared at them, "You made such a big mistake, and you still want to beg for mercy?"
Hu Bayi said: "We can't let them go easily, we have to hand them over to the Palace Master for disposal."
Finally, these disciples were subdued.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Huo Jilin said gratefully.
Hu Bayi patted his shoulder, "We are friends, this is what we should do."
Wang Kaixuan also smiled and said, "That's right, you have to be careful in the future, don't be fooled like this again."
The three of them smiled at each other, and under the moonlight, they set out on the road back to the Holy Land.
An hour later, the night became darker, and Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan returned to the Holy Land Mountain with those disciples who had ulterior motives.
The palace of the Holy Land was brightly lit, and the Palace Master sat on a high seat with a terribly gloomy face. Huo Jilin and others saluted respectfully and reported the whole story to the Palace Master.
After listening, the Palace Master angrily slapped the armrest, "It's simply lawless! How dare you fake my will and do whatever you want in the Holy Land!" His voice echoed in the palace, full of majesty and anger.
However, at this moment, the elder slowly stepped forward.
He stroked his beard, his eyes revealingA hint of dissatisfaction.
"Palace Master, I'm afraid you can't blame these disciples for this. Since Huo Jilin was favored by the deputy palace master and obtained the Sky-peeking Skill, he has been acting a little high-profile, which has caused dissatisfaction among the disciples, which is understandable."
Huo Jilin laughed angrily when he heard the elder's words of turning black into white, "Great Elder, what do you mean? I, Huo Jilin, have been practicing diligently and have never done anything high-profile.
It's these disciples who, out of jealousy, falsely conveyed the will and intended to harm me. Not only did you not punish them, but you blamed me instead?"
The elder glanced at Huo Jilin, "Humph, young man, don't be like this. This impulse. I am also thinking about the harmony of the Holy Land. If you can give in, this matter will be over. "
Huo Jilin was furious, "Give in? Great Elder, I, Huo Jilin, am upright, why should I give in? Today's matter, you are so partial, it is really chilling!"
The great elder's face sank, "Huo Jilin, don't be ungrateful!"
Huo Jilin straightened his back and said with a firm look: "Great Elder, since you are so unfair, then I, Huo Jilin, challenge you! Tomorrow on Tiancang Cliff, we will duel and compete in the way of life and death!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.
Hu Bayi quickly advised: "Brother Huo, don't be impulsive, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
Wang Kaixuan also said anxiously: "Yes, Brother Huo, you can't act on impulse!"
Huo Jilin waved his hands, "Brother Hu, Brother Wang, thank you for your concern. But today's matter, if it is not so, where is my innocence and dignity?"
The Palace Master frowned, "Huo Jilin, don't be reckless!"
Huo Jilin clasped his fists and said: "Palace Master, please agree. I will use my strength to prove my innocence and let the elder know that I, Huo Jilin, am not as bad as he said!"
The elder sneered: "Okay, since you don't know how to live or die, then tomorrow on Tiancang Cliff, I will let you know what respect and order are!"
Huo Jilin did not back down, "Elder, let's wait and see!"
After leaving the palace, Hu Bayi said worriedly: "Brother Huo, this elder has a high level of cultivation, are you sure?"
