Nine suns stepping on the sky

Chapter 780 Four

Half a month later, under the circumstances that Shenxiao Nine Dao intends to speed up the progress, the assessment of the affiliated forces finally came to an end.

After some controversy, Xuan Qingzong finally ranked third, because no one could underestimate the strength shown by the great priest Yu Mo.

And this is Xuan Qingzong's unprecedented good achievement, even far surpassing the ranking of Fairy Tourmaline when she was alive.

In the courtyard, Huacha gave a deep salute, her pretty face flushed slightly, showing unconcealable excitement, "My lord!"

She opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to continue. Mo Yu's kindness to Xuan Qingzong was so great that she couldn't repay it at all.

Huacha's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly a misty watery light appeared, a little more shy, "My lord saved Qing Xuanzong, which is equivalent to saving my life! Huacha has nothing to repay, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to honor the original Promise of."

Mo Yu was slightly startled, and then thought of the Wang Family's courtyard. The two of them spoke in the first conversation, and they couldn't help frowning slightly, and said lightly: "Sect Master Huacha really thinks that I am a person who wants to repay favors?"

Sensing the coldness in his words, Huacha panicked, and hurriedly said: "No! No! My lord, please don't misunderstand, in fact... it is Huacha's willingness, and she has absolutely no intention of underestimating your lord!"

In a panic, she no longer cared about hiding her feelings.

Mo Yu was slightly stunned, his face softened a lot, nodded and said: "I understand your intentions." He paused for a while before continuing, "I agree to be an enshrinement of Xuanqingzong, largely out of respect for myself. You will understand these considerations in the future, so there is no need to thank you again."

He got up and said lightly, "Let's go."

The big competition is over, and today Jiuxiao Shendao will give rewards and punishments according to the ranking order of each affiliated force, completing the final step of the assessment.

Hearing his pun, Hua Cha's face flashed a bit of embarrassment, and then it turned into gloom. Looking at his tall and straight back, she sighed softly in her heart.

That's right, how could she stay with this enigmatic and powerful man?

……

The Emperor Star, the Nine Gates of the Divine Firmament, and the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

As the name suggests, the hall is in charge of rewards and punishments for the entire sect.

In order to show the importance and solemnity to the affiliated forces, today's reward and punishment ceremony will be presided over by 37 elders and elders and [-] monks from the direct line of the sect.

When the time comes, the subordinate forces will listen to the announcement and enter the palace in order of ranking.

"The first place in the assessment, the Eastern Emperor Sect enters the palace!"

Outside the main hall, more than a hundred monks got up at the same time, all of them looked proud, and strode into the reward and punishment hall under the gaze of many eyes. After saluting the first 37 elders and the direct line monks of the thirteen sects, they sat down at the front under the guidance .

"Second place in the assessment, Xi Hezong enters the palace!"

Nearly a hundred monks, led by an old man with fluttering hair and a fairy air, entered the reward and punishment hall.

"The third place in the assessment, Xuanqingzong enters the palace!"

Hearing the Nine Heavens Divine Dao monks at the gate of the palace read out, countless eyes gathered at the same time, and the attention it attracted was even higher than that of Donghuang and Xihe.

In those countless gazes, apart from envy, there was also deep jealousy.

Xuan Qingzong, who was already doomed, finally got No. 3 in the assessment. Such a shocking reversal was all because of their good luck, and the help of Master Yumo.

At this moment, seeing a group of beautiful female cultivators standing up at the same time, the leaders of countless forces have secretly decided that when recruiting disciples in the future, they must choose more beautiful women to train them carefully, maybe they will be of great use in the future... And Xuan Qingzong Things are the best example!

Huacha took the initiative to take a step behind, stood behind Mo Yu, bowed her head slightly, and showed enough respect to him.

Mo Yu's expression was flat, and he didn't feel wronged by her active expression of respect. After all, in the world of monks, everything speaks of strength!

Entering the Great Hall of Rewards and Punishments, he swept his gaze, and then cupped his hands slightly, but several monks automatically appeared in his mind.

These people were all hostile to him, and one of the young monks was particularly strong.

As soon as he thought about it, Mo Yu's eyes showed a slight coldness.

He hasn't found the desired result yet. If someone comes to his door, he naturally doesn't mind making a move, so that he can attract more attention.

It's just that the expected difficulties did not happen. Under the guidance of the monks of the Nine Paths of the Heavenly Firmament, he led a group of female cultivators from the Xuanqing Sect to sit behind the Donghuang Sect and the Xihe Sect. Everything seemed very peaceful.

Mo Yu frowned secretly in his heart. Could it be that the monks of the Nine Paths of the Divine Firmament have learned how to be patient?

It's unbelievable!

As time passed, the denominations ranked below the top [-] lost the qualification to be individually called into the temple.

When the forces from the ten directions were finally declared into the Great Hall of Rewards and Punishments, the whole process took almost an hour, but it was nothing to the monks of many affiliated sects.

Because they may have gone through thousands of years of preparation before they get this moment of glory.

Shen Xiao Jiu Dao obviously understood this, so he deliberately set up this procedure.

Of course, this will be a torment for a period of time for the forces with poor assessment results, but no one will care about their feelings.

Because the weak will not get sympathy in the world of monks!

Following a light cough on the rostrum, the entire Reward and Punishment Hall suddenly fell silent, without any sound.

Jiang Li got up slowly, his eyes gleamed with power and majesty on his old face!

"It took nearly a month, and the assessment ceremony of the Nine Daoes of the Divine Firmament was successfully completed. Here, I am going to act as the sect. Thank you fellow Taoists for your support."

After the words fell, he got up and bowed his hands to the audience.

"Elder Jiang Li doesn't have to be like this!"

"I've been waiting so hard!"

"How noble is the status of the Great Elder, how dare we accept this gift."

"It's our good fortune to be able to get the qualification to participate in the master sect's assessment. Great Elder, don't do this!"

The cultivators from various forces hurriedly got up and gave way, no matter what they thought in their hearts, their faces were full of excitement and fear.

In contrast, Mo Yu, who was at the forefront and remained motionless, looked particularly glaring.

Jiang Li's eyes swept away, and then there was a gloomy flash. He hummed in his heart and didn't have any more thoughts to say. He went straight to the topic and said in a deep voice: "The results of the assessment have been announced to the public. Today, everyone will be rewarded and punished. Encourage the monks of all forces to forge ahead and continue to grow themselves."

"According to the usual practice in previous years, the punishment for the bottom [-] forces will be announced first, and then the top [-] forces will be rewarded. The specific matters will be announced by Elder Jiang He."

Jiang Li sat down solemnly, and the hall suddenly burst into horror.

Especially the powerful monks who were ranked in the punishment ranks, their faces were even more tense.

The Nine Heavens Divine Dao Elder beside him stood up, with a grim expression on his face, and announced in a deep voice: "The 130th and [-]nd Dique Sect will be fined half of the sect's territory, half of the sect's income, and all monks will be banned for a hundred years! A hundred years later, the Zongmen review team will go to review, if the performance fails, the qualification to be attached to Jiuxiao Shendao will be directly deprived!"

"Ah!" The master of the Dique Gate exclaimed, his face suddenly turned pale, and the monks of the Dique Gate behind him showed endless fear in their eyes.

This heavy punishment directly halved the strength of the Dique Gate, but what is even more terrifying is the review after a hundred years... If you lose the qualification to attach to the Nine Heavens Divine Dao, within a day, the entire Dique Gate will be torn apart and swallowed by all forces !

Without giving everyone a chance to sympathize or be shocked, Elder Jiang He continued to speak, "The 130th 150th person from the Promise Palace will be fined half of the sect's territory, 150% of the sect's income, and all monks will be banned for [-] years for [-] years! Years later, the Zongmen review team went to review..."

This punishment is still extremely severe, but the monks in the Promise Palace are slightly relieved.Although the cultivators of this faction have been banned for 150 years, it is equivalent to the Nine Heavens Divine Dao giving them 150 years to turn around... Don't look at it is only 50 years more, this is very important.

"The 130th and [-]th Dahe faction..."

"Ranked 120th and nine Sunset sects..."

"The 120th, [-]th and eighth Sifang Pavilion..."

The denominations with poor performance in the assessment were punished by name and punishment. The severity of the punishment was unprecedented!

The sect that was punished wanted to cry but had no tears, and the sect that escaped the catastrophe was overjoyed.

But without exception, everyone has a sense of urgency in their hearts, and they must work hard to improve the strength of their forces.

And this is obviously the purpose of the Nine Ways of the Heavens!

"The 32nd ranked Cangzong will punish the god crystal with [-] square meters!" Elder Jiang He glanced at the last punished sect after reading, "All the punishments will take effect immediately, and they will be completed within one month. Delay must be severely punished! Can you accept this punishment?"

"Willing to be punished by the master!"

The monk Baizong spoke in awe.

Facing Jiuxiao Shendao, they have no right to resist at all!

"Very good, after the punishment, it will be a reward for the outstanding forces in this assessment." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "According to the regulations of previous years, the top three can stand on the rostrum and personally accept the reward from the chief sect. In this way, So please choose one person from each of the three cases to take the stage."

Not surprisingly, Donghuang, Xihe and the two suzerains got up one after another, and strode up to the rostrum with smiles on their faces.

It is two great honors to be able to stand here and accept the reward, and of course this has a great relationship with the reward that is about to be obtained.

With the divine way of doing things, punishment and rewards are always in direct proportion, and this reward will definitely not disappoint.

Huacha turned around, and said respectfully and sincerely, "Great priest, please come on stage!"

Mo Yu thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright."

He glanced at the rostrum, then got up and walked.

A glint of coldness flashed in Jiang Li's eyes, but he said with a smile: "The rewards of the Eastern Emperor Sect will be awarded by the old man himself, and all the rewards of the sect have been marked on the jade slips."

The Eastern Desolation Sect Master hurriedly saluted, and took the jade slip with both hands. As soon as the divine sense penetrated into it, uncontrollable ecstasy flooded his face, and he saluted repeatedly, "Thank you, Great Elder! Thank you, Great Elder!"

Elder Jiang He stood up after announcing the list of punishments earlier, with a gentle face on his face, "The award from Xihezong will be issued by this elder."

He took out a jade slip and encouraged him: "Keep working hard, many elders of the Nine Daoes of the Divine Firmament are very optimistic about you."

Sect Master Xi He showed gratitude and took the jade slip. Although he tried his best to keep calm, his slightly flushed face could still make people feel his turbulent mood.

The faces of the cultivators from various forces suddenly showed envy. Although they don't know what it is, the Donghuang and Xihe sects have obviously received extremely generous rewards.

Everyone's eyes turned to Mo Yu subconsciously, and next, it was the turn of Xuan Qingzong who ranked third.

But unexpectedly, the person who presented the award to Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty was actually a monk of the direct line of the Nine Heavens Divine Dao. He was dressed in a dark golden robe, which set off his handsome face and added a bit of majesty.

He approached with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "My young master Jiang Zhe, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Yumo for winning the first place in the king's rank. It is really admirable to save Xuanqingzong from the collapse of the building with his own efforts!"

Mo Yu's expression was calm, he glanced at his faked smiling face, nodded and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang Zhe, for your compliment." He accepted all these words without any excuses.

Jiang Zhe's chest felt tight all of a sudden, and his face showed a bit of stiffness, but this man was a man of the city, and he recovered in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yumo, please be patient! Since this is the case, this young master will no longer cover up. Before awarding the rewards, it is necessary to ask the fellow Taoists a few words."

"May I ask where Fellow Daoist Yumo is from? Do you have relatives in your family? Who did you study under? Why do you want to be the great priest of Xuanqingzong?" He asked four times in a row, his face showing awe.

Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Jiang Zhe?"

"It's nothing, it's just that after the rewards and punishments are carried out, my Nine Heavens Divine Dao Elder's House will invite fellow daoists to go. I just asked a few questions in advance."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Zhe, can I represent the elders' house?"

Jiang Zhe's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "I never said that before, don't talk nonsense..."

Mo Yu interrupted him directly, "In other words, you can't represent the elders' house."

"..."

"Then let's wait until the elders' house to ask."

**Naked contempt!

** Naked slap in the face!

Jiang Zhe's face was burning hot, feeling the staring gazes, he couldn't help showing resentment in his eyes, and growled in a low voice, "I will make you pay the price!"

Mo Yu glanced at him, and suddenly raised his voice, "That's right, Yu Mou helped Xuan Qingzong, what do you want, Fellow Daoist Jiang Zhe? Do you want to attack me in full view because I ruined your good deed?"

Jiang Zhe was stunned, his face turned green, and he roared: "Don't slander me, I have nothing to do with Xuanqingzong!"

"Does Fellow Daoist Jiang Zhe dare to yell at the person who plotted against Xuan Qingzong as a beast in front of so many fellow Daoists?"

"You..." Jiang Zhe's face turned green.

On the rostrum, Jiang Xun shook his head and sighed softly, "It seems that Jiang Zhe was really dazzled by anger, knowing that his fault was on his own side, but he still competed with him for the advantage of words."

Jiang Qin showed anger, "This Yu Mo is really presumptuous. He is so disrespectful to my direct monks of the Nine Daos of God! Second brother, do you just ignore me?"

Jiang Xun saw her thoughts, and shook his head without any trace, "With your mind, you can naturally see that it is extremely simple to break this matter. As long as Jiang Zhe puts his identity as a direct line monk of the Nine Daos of God, Mo Yu can't do it without himself. Find a way to die, otherwise all arrogance will be suppressed."

"I can't show this kind of limelight in front of the elders. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to add points, but it will make them think that their minds are not calm enough... And, presumably, Elder Jiang Li will give him a reminder soon."

Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, Jiang Li gave a low drink, frowned and said, "Okay! What kind of place do you think this is, stop talking nonsense!"

He gave Jiang Zhe a hard look, "Hurry up and present the reward to Xuan Qingzong."

Jiang Zhe woke up suddenly, and immediately realized what a mistake he had made. Thinking of his performance in front of the elders, he couldn't help feeling more resentful towards Mo Yu in his heart!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Xuanqingzong Yumo is bestowed!"

Raising his hand to raise the jade slip, Jiang Zhe looked at it, but he didn't intend to hand it over.

Because he was waiting for Mo Yu to salute.

This is the etiquette necessary for accepting rewards.

Thinking that Mo Yu was about to bow his head in front of him, Jiang Zhe felt a burst of relief in his heart.

But soon, his expression became even uglier, because Mo Yu was still standing in front of him, not moving at all.

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes, "Yu Mo, aren't you ready to accept the award?" While speaking, his hand seemed to shake inadvertently, and the jade slip fell to his feet with a "click".

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention for a while, since Fellow Daoist Yumo doesn't want to salute, then pick it up yourself."

Jiang Zhe stood on the spot with his back straightened, his hands behind his back, and a sneer undisguised.

If you don't want to salute, this young master wants you to lie down!

Unless you don't want rewards, it depends on whether you bow your head!

He thought he had forced Mo Yu into a situation where he could not retreat, and he couldn't help feeling proud, and finally let out a breath of anger.

Mo Yu glanced at him, then shook his head suddenly, "Why bother? I will never bow to you... Besides, you are not worthy at all."

"Presumptuous!" Jiang Zhe yelled angrily, like an enraged lion, "Don't think that you are powerful enough to act recklessly! This Shaojiang Zhe is a direct line monk of Jiuxiao Divine Dao. If you insult me, you are insulting the entire Jiuxiao. Shinto! Now, as a cultivator of the main lineage, I order you to kneel down and apologize to me and to Shenxiao Jiudao!"

"Yumo, if you dare to resist, it will be a complete provocation to my gods. Believe me, you will never want to go this far!"

"Immediately! Kneel down and apologize!"

Things suddenly developed to such a state that the entire Reward and Punishment Hall fell into dead silence.

Chen Ran, the leader of Shenhuo Sect, smiled excitedly, and said in a low voice: "Yu Mo! Yu Mo! I didn't expect you to have this day! My leader wants to see how you can be tough!"

Huacha's face turned pale, and her eyes showed panic, but she had no power to intervene in the current situation.

The entire rostrum, and all the monks of the Nine Paths of God, kept silent about this, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Jiang Zhe's actions.

The invisible oppression suddenly permeated the nothingness, gradually making it difficult to breathe.

The corners of Jiang Xun's mouth turned up slightly, Jiang Zhe was not all useless, at least he did a good job of scratching his painful feet.

Yumo, no matter how strong you are, in our eyes, you are still a lowly servant.

It seemed that he had seen the scene of him kneeling tremblingly, and Jiang Xun showed a vague smile on his face.

Countless gazes looked around, showing emotions such as sympathy, ridicule, indifference, etc., but Mo Yu ignored it, and his expression remained as calm as before.

He suddenly said: "Jiang Zhe, do you think that you have gained the absolute upper hand, and I have no other choice but to kneel in front of you?"

Mo Yu paused and continued, "But I'm sorry, I choose the second way."

He raised his hand and patted Jiang Zhe's shoulder. Amidst the sound of bones breaking, he pushed him down to kneel on the ground, and said flatly, "Now, pick up the jade slip and give it to me."
