Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

The young man in black looked gloomy, and was obviously hesitant. Li Hao said without losing any time: "It seems that this storm is about to end. Why not stop here and let everyone take a step back."

The young man in black hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly: "You are lucky. But I will definitely get back this debt!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they quickly evacuated the scene. The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief and praised:
"I didn't expect there would be such a brave person who would stand up and speak for others."

"Those guys are really lucky. If they really started fighting, the consequences would be disastrous."

"This young man named Li Hao is really courageous. He may be able to achieve something in the future."

Li Hao walked back to Lin Feng and the others and said with a smile, "Okay, it's safe for now."

Lin Feng said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Li Hao."

Qin Yang also nodded: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise there would probably be another bloody battle."

Li Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a small matter. But you have to be careful next time, those people will not let you go easily."

Yun Yao said softly: "We will pay attention to it. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future."

Li Hao smiled and said, "No problem, you are welcome anytime."

As the night deepened, the stars became brighter. Lin Feng looked up at the sky and whispered, "Everything that happened tonight will become a test for our future. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will face it together."

Qin Yang responded softly: "That's right, because we are a team and we advance and retreat together."

Xiaoxue clenched her fists and said firmly: "No matter how many difficulties we face, we will not give in."

Xiaoqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, with us here, nothing is impossible to overcome."

The five people's eyes were full of determination and trust. The future might be full of unknowns, but they believed that as long as they supported each other, any difficulties could be overcome.

In the small courtyard under the night sky, Lin Feng and others sat together and continued to discuss future countermeasures. Li Hao sat in the middle of them, looking at everyone with a firm gaze.

"What are you going to do next?" Li Hao asked, "Those people are obviously not going to give up."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and whispered, "We need a longer-term plan, not just to deal with this crisis."

Qin Yang agreed: "That's right, we can't always passively defend, we must find a way to take the initiative to attack."

Yun Yao nodded and said, "I agree. We can try to contact other disciples who are being bullied by the inner sect and unite to form a greater force."

Xiaoxue frowned and said with some concern: "Will this cause more trouble? After all, our current strength is not enough to fight against the entire inner sect."

Li Hao smiled slightly and said softly: "This is a good idea. But before we take action, we need more support and resources. I can help you contact some of my friends in the outer sect."

Xiaoqing asked in surprise: "Really? That's great!"

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door. A disciple hurried in and said nervously, "Brother Lin Feng, there are people outside talking about the sect holding a large-scale selection to select new Dharma Protector disciples."

Everyone was shocked, and Lin Feng quickly asked, "What's going on? How is this selection going?"

The disciple took a breath and replied, "I don't know the details, but I heard that the selection is through a martial arts competition, and the winner will be promoted to a Dharma Protector disciple."

Qin Yang frowned and whispered, "This is an opportunity for us, but also a risk. If we can stand out in the selection, our status and influence will be greatly enhanced."

Yun Yao pondered, "But at the same time, we may become the target of more people. We must act with caution."

Xiaoxue nodded and said, "We can't be distracted any longer. We must go all out."

Lin Feng looked at Li Hao: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "We can use this selection opportunity to gain more support. At the same time, we must also be prepared for battle, just in case."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. A disciple ran in in a panic, gasping for breath and said, "Oh no! A few inner disciples came outside, they said they are here to supervise our training!"

Everyone immediately became alert and stood up.

Qin Yang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "It seems that they are here to get information. We must deal with it carefully."

Yun Yao said softly: "Everyone stay calm and don't show any flaws."

Xiaoxue added: "We trained as usual, not letting them see what we were planning."

Outside the door, several inner disciples had walked in, led by a tall young man with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He glanced around coldly, then said loudly: "I am Zhao Tiancheng, an inner disciple, and I am here to supervise your training today. You'd better be serious, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

The disciples around him exchanged glances and whispered:
"Who is this Zhao Tiancheng? So arrogant?"

"It looks like he's a powerful figure from the inner sect. We have to be careful."

"These people are so arrogant, I really hope they leave soon."

Lin Feng came forward, bowed slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, we will definitely train seriously and will not slack off in the slightest."

Zhao Tiancheng sneered and said arrogantly: "You bunch of outer disciples, don't think you can turn the world upside down just because you are a little clever. Today I want to see how capable you are."

Li Hao sneered at the side and said, "Brother Zhao, we are all from the same sect, why are you being so harsh?"

Zhao Tiancheng glared at him and said, "Who the hell are you? This is the inner sect's business, shut up!"

Li Hao did not back down and responded calmly: "I just think that we should respect each other. After all, we are all in the same sect."

The people around started talking again:

"This young man is quite courageous. He dares to speak to someone from the inner sect like this."

"Look at that Zhao Tiancheng, he seems very unhappy."

"If these two really start fighting, it will probably be very interesting."

Zhao Tiancheng's expression became increasingly ugly, but he still did not take action. He just said coldly: "Your training today will start with the basic swordsmanship. Let me see your level."

Everyone took out their swords and began to practice basic sword techniques. Zhao Tiancheng and other inner disciples stood aside, watching them sharply. While practicing, Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances quietly, and the tacit understanding in their hearts became deeper.

Zhao Tiancheng looked at them for a long while, and finally nodded: "Not bad, it seems that your foundation is quite solid. But the training of our inner sect is much stricter, you have to work harder."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a sentence: "I will come again, don't let me down next time."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to practice. The people around them also dispersed, but they were still whispering, very curious about what had just happened.

Li Hao stepped forward and said softly, "This Zhao Tiancheng is not an easy person to deal with. We have to be careful of his movements."

Lin Feng nodded and whispered, "That's right, we must pay close attention to their actions to prevent them from using any means."

Qin Yang gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No matter what, we will not give up."

Yun Yao smiled and nodded: "We will definitely become stronger."

Xiaoxue clenched her fists and said firmly: "No matter how many difficulties we face, we will not give in."

Xiaoqing smiled and added: "Yes, with us here, nothing is impossible to overcome."

The eyes of the five people are full of determination and trust. The future may be full of unknowns, but they believe that as long as they support each other, any difficulties can be overcome.

As the night deepened, the stars became brighter. Lin Feng looked up at the sky and said to himself: No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will face it together.

At this moment, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a figure ran in quickly, saying breathlessly: "Oh no, Zhao Tiancheng and the others seem to have discovered our plan and have already started to act!"

Everyone was shocked. Lin Feng frowned and said in a deep voice, "We must act immediately. We can't let them get there first!"

Qin Yang nodded and said firmly: "No matter what is waiting for us ahead, we can't retreat!"

Li Hao smiled and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, saying softly: "Don't worry, we will face it together. We will definitely win this battle!"

The night breeze was blowing gently, and the bonfire was burning. The faith in everyone's heart became more and more firm. Although the road ahead was full of challenges, they would never back down.

Just as they were about to leave, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard outside the door again...

"Hurry, follow them!" a voice shouted anxiously.

Everyone immediately became nervous. Lin Feng quickly signaled everyone to hide, and he quietly approached the door and looked out through the crack. In the night outside, a group of figures appeared particularly clear under the illumination of torches, and the leader was the disciple who had a nervous look just now.

"How many of them are here?" Qin Yang asked in a low voice.

Lin Feng observed carefully and turned back to say, "It looks like there are about ten people, all searching everywhere."

Yun Yao frowned: "These people seem to be well-trained, not ordinary outer disciples. Zhao Tiancheng's actions are faster than we thought."

Xiaoxue clenched her fists and asked worriedly, "What should we do now? If we are discovered, won't our plan be ruined?"

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said softly, "We can split into two groups. One group will stay behind to deal with their search, and the other group will quickly contact other disciples who are being bullied by the inner sect to gain more support. We must speed up."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay, Yun Yao, Qin Yang and I will stay here to deal with the search, Li Hao, you take Xiao Xue and Xiao Qing to contact the others. Remember, you must be careful."

Qin Yang patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said, "You should be more careful and try to avoid direct conflict."

Xiaoqing gently held Li Hao's hand, with a firm light in her eyes: "Don't worry, we will definitely come back safely."

Li Hao smiled slightly and gave her an affirmative look: "We will succeed, believe in each other."

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer. Qin Yang quickly pulled a curtain in front of the door and activated a hidden mechanism at the same time, disguising the door like a wall.

Everyone moved separately silently. Lin Feng, Qin Yang and Yun Yao stayed where they were, quietly waiting for the arrival of the search team.

Soon, a group of inner disciples pushed open the gate of the courtyard, led by Zhao Tiancheng, who was holding a long sword and looking around fiercely.

Zhao Tiancheng coldly ordered his men: "Search, search every corner carefully, don't miss any clues!"

The disciples quickly dispersed, holding torches, and carefully searched everywhere. The other disciples watching around began to discuss:
"These inner disciples are so aggressive. I don't know what they want to do."

“I heard they were arresting someone, but I don’t know who angered the inner sect.”

"If you get caught, it's not going to end well."

Yun Yao hid in the bushes nearby and whispered to Qin Yang and Lin Feng, "It seems that they are really coming for us. We must be careful and not reveal any flaws."

Qin Yang responded in a low voice: "That's right, as long as we can delay them for a while, we can buy more time for Li Hao and the others."

At this time, an inner sect disciple came over and looked towards the bushes, but did not see the three people, so he continued to walk somewhere else.

Zhao Tiancheng frowned and suddenly shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up, they should be nearby!"

The disciples quickened their pace, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly tense. Suddenly, an inner sect disciple seemed to have discovered something and shouted, "There's a trap here!"

Zhao Tiancheng immediately ran over and saw the door covered by the curtain. He opened it and said with a sneer, "I found it. Let's see where you can run to!"

The door was pushed open, but there was no one inside. Zhao Tiancheng cursed angrily: "Damn it! They got away again!"

The disciple next to him whispered, "Brother Zhao, do you want to search it more carefully? There may be a secret passage or something like that."

Zhao Tiancheng gnashed his teeth and said, "Okay, then we'll search this place thoroughly and catch them!"

On the other side, Li Hao, Xiaoxue and Xiaoqing had successfully bypassed the courtyard and quickly headed towards the inner part of the sect. Li Hao whispered, "We have to hurry up, time is running out."

Xiao Xue panted and asked, "Where can we find those disciples who are being bullied by the inner sect?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and replied, "I know a few places where outer disciples often gather. Let's start there."

Xiao Qing followed their steps and whispered, "I hope we can get enough support in the shortest possible time, so that we can have hope of fighting against the inner sect."

The three of them hurried forward, passed through a forest, and finally came to a relatively hidden pavilion. There were several outer disciples sitting in the pavilion. When they saw them coming, they immediately became alert. (End of this chapter)
