The Inner Holy Chapter was the inner sanctuary of the Holy Sectarian Master and the Holy Maiden Unless special periven, no one was allowed to enter the Inner Holy Chapter But today, it was unusually crowded

Ji Wuzheng was sitting in themaidens in white They were his personal attendants as well as his swords, the Holy Maiden and a beautiful refine lady

Standing at the exits of the Hall were a dozen exponents in black

Ji Wuzheng was unusually solemn today

Yi Ping would later found out that the beautiful refine lady was actually Ji Wuzheng’s wife, Dugu Zhen She was not only the proudbut she was also one of the First Guardian of the Holy Guardian

When Yi Ping stepped into the Inner Holy Chapter, he si She was radically very different fro in her Holy Maiden cereht, “Is she really Lingfeng? She looks like a totally different person and she seems so cold today…”

But as soon as he had thought of that, Lingfeng had secretly blinked and smile at hiain He thought, “She is still the same old self…”

Ding Yun noticed it i is actually a peerless alluring beauty until today, didn’t you? You keep staring at her”

Yi Ping was immediately flustered as he quickly staht…I am just a little startled…”

Even though Ding Yun appeared to be s failed to notice the sorrows and u Zhen was looking at Ding Yun with unusual eyes

Youxue quickly whispered to Yi Ping, “Sister Lingfeng looks so enthralling today You look like you have never seen her appearance before?”

Yi Ping ed a weak smile, “Of course I have But…I have never seen her this quiet…”

Lie Qing whispered with an enchanting smile, “Then does you like her to be quiet or friendly?”

Yi Ping dare not answer her It was because even though Lie Qing’s whispers were al’s alluring eyes were looking and questioning him!

Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le, Qiu Wufeng and Qian Fan were also looking intently at Lingfeng…

But Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng were quickly distracted by Suxin, Suyue and Sufeng as they entered the hall

Even though Lingfeng had been in their company for quite souised veil in their presence

Huo Fu was looking in stunned appraisal at Ding Yun, Youxue, Lie Qing, Youxue, Yu’Er and Mei’Er It was because they were all s jovially with one another in inties

When Ji Wuzheng saw everyone that was supposed to be here had reached, he stood up and announced with a deep resounding voice “I have two important matters to announce today”

Immediately the hall fell into silent as everyone listened attentively

Nangong Le was grinning as he thought, “Is he going to announce my appointment as the Third Guardian of the Holy Chapter and maybe even betrothed Suyue to me?”

Ji Wuzheng said almost immediately, “Firstly, due to the unfortunate demise of our four Holy Chapter Guardians, the Holy Hex Sect has suffered a huge blow to our strength and ent need to appoint capable leaders as new Guardians to restore the holy sect’s dith”

Nangong Le knew that Ji Wuzheng was about to appoint hihted He i attentively

Ji Wuzheng nodded at hi Le, step forward to receive my commands!”

Nangong Le stepped forward proudly as he stole a glance at Suyue as startled “Looking at her expressions, she must be so surprised! It is my chance to impress her! I orried that my sworn brothers would be the first one to be called out Haha, it ree to join the Holy Hex Sect so Ji Wuzheng has subtly given me the honor to be called out first!”

Iround!

Nangong Le grinned broadly as he thought, “They ht first That honor is now mine”

Ji Wuzheng said, “Nangong Le will be appointed the Third Guardian of the Holy Chapter All holy protégés of the Third Chapter will be under his command and leadershi+p”

Nangong Le was i, “Who is the currently the First and Second Holy Chapter Guardians?”

Ji Suyue stepped forward, interrupting hiu Zhen is the First Guardian of the Holy Chapter There is currently no Second Guardian”

Nangong Le was startled when Suyue stepped in to talk to him “Is she impressed by me now? There is no Second Guardian? Does it mean that I am currently the secondhad defeated the Celestial Liege Surely he will be the one ill be appointed the Second Guardian Still, as Third Guardian,and that Qian Fan”

He laughed jovially while asking Suyue, “Qian Fan is also a Guardian Which number in rank is he?”

Suyue stole a glance at Qian Fan as she said coolly, “He is our Sixth Holy Chapter Guardian”

Nangong Le was secretly pleased as he thought, “I am in the upper Guardian Ranks…”

Suyue sratulations!”

Nangong Le lad to have your appreciation…”

Suyue flushed as she quickly interrupted him with an icy tone, “The Third Guardian isn’t more important than the First or Sixth Each of the Guardians has a different role The First Guardian is in charge of protecting the Holy Chapter while the Sixth Guardian is in charge of protecting the Holy Hex Sect As for…”

Qian Fan chipped in, as he could no longer bear to see the insolent s Le’s face “The Second to Forth Holy Chapter Guardians are in charge of repulsing the foes Congratulations on your new appointment as the Third Holy Chapter Guardian Our survival now depends on your brilliant leadershi+p and tactics now to repulse the over hundred martial clans that are at the foot of the mountains!”

While Qian Fan was explaining to Nangong Le, Suyue secretly heaved a sigh of relief “That idiot He dares to make such a bold advance on h she was scolding him in her heart but she was secretly pleased…

Nangong Le was startled but he tried to put on a brave front, “Brother Yi Ping, Brother Qiu Wufeng, Brother Gongsun Jing and I will do our best as Guardians to protect the Holy Hex Sect, there’s no doubt about it”

Ji Wuzheng said, “They will not be appointed as Guardians Only you will have the honor of serving the Holy Hex Sect as a Guardian”

Nangong Le was stunned, “They…they are not going to be appointed as Guardians?!”

Ji Wuzheng said, “No, they are not That is the second announce to have threeand Qiu Wufeng!”

Nangong Le was startled, “What about me?”

Ji Wuzheng grinned, “You are just my Guardian”

Nangong Le was stunned…

Ji Wuzheng said to Yi Ping, Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng “This is Huo Fu, my sworn brother If you don’tBrother What do you think?”

Yi Ping said, “I don’t er brother pays my respect to you!”

Huo Fu was taken by surprise, “You are not upset with e me as your Second Brother?”

Yi Ping said, “I really don’t mind Maybe if it isn’t for you back then, the Celestial Fairy and I would not be together as a couple Alas, maybe that is all predestined Maybe I should thank you instead”

Huo Fu was startled, “That beautiful young maiden that ith you was the Celestial Fairy?!” He was shocked because the Celestial Fairy was rumored to have led the Eternal Ice Palace for soe!

Yi Ping was curious, “That’s right Is so?”

Huo Fu …”

But he was already thinking, “No wonder hermaiden But how is it possible?” Till today, he had been thinking of her It was because she was not sootten…

Even Ji Wuzheng was slightly startled, “I didn’t expect the Celestial Fairy of the Eternal Ice Palace to be just a young maiden The ruerated and not to be believed recklessly”

Lingfeng said, “I have seen the Celestial Fairy She is younger than me Coé ? Yet, her ap?”

Yu’Er and Mei’Er exchanged nervous glances

Yu’Er quickly recovered froé mistress!”

Youxue was silently thinking, “Only Yu’Er, Mei’Er and I know her true age Maybe even Sister Lie Qing and the rest did not suspect…”

Yi Ping said, “Brother Gongsun Jing and Brother Qiu Wufeng and I have an agreement to address one another as equal brothers So if you don’t mind, the three of us can be your Third Brothers!”

Ji Wuzheng and Huo Fu laughed as they said together, “We don’t mind! We are brothers now!”

Gongsun Jing stepped forward and boith his hands, “My respect to Big Brother and Second Brother!”

Qiu Wufeng too stepped forward and offered his respects, “My respect to Big Brother and Second Brother!”

Nangong Le sighed bitterly, “Hoish I can join them in this brotherhood I don’t want to be a Holy Chapter Guardian anymore…”

Suxin and Sufeng were giggling as they said, “So we got three more Uncles now? They are not so much older than us We really have to call them Uncles?”

Suyue sighed softly, “I hope that they are not as mean as our father”

Ji Wuzheng stared sternly at Suyue, “Look at you…”

Dugu Zhen s her new Uncles Let her enjoy the moment instead”

Ji Wuzheng sighed, “You are just spoiling her too much Now she doesn’t even respect her father anymore I have told her many times that in this Holy Chapter, I am her Holy Sectarian Master At all times, she és…”

Suyue i, you look like a nice guy My father is bullying me! Help me!”

Yi Ping smiled bitterly at her

But he quickly said, “If Big Brother does notLe as your Third Brother too? After all, he is with us and is our brother too”

Ji Wuzheng nodded and glanced sternly at Nangong Le, “Since Third Brother Yi Ping has interceded on your behalf, you can join our brotherhood But I must warn you, brother or not brother, I am always very strict with the clan rules”

Nangong Le s Brother!”

Suyue laughed softly, “Now I have another Uncle! Uncle Nangong Le!”

All of a sudden, Nangong Le was jolted as he quickly thought “If I aether in a proper relationshi+p?”

But just as he was about to protest, Ji Wuzheng proclaimed aloud “From noe are sworn brothers If anyone of us betray this brotherhood, may he be cursed and be struck by the thunderbolts of heavens He also will have no descendants May we share through weal and woes together!”

Nangong Le s, do you know that your goodwill has screwed up my happiness…”

Ji Wuzheng said, “Today, I a the lot of you to the forbidden ground of the Inner Holy Chapter”

Dugu Zhen was startled, “Is that an idea? They are all strangers…”

Ji Wuzheng said solemnly, “They have all saved our Holy Sect from annihilation There is no doubt about it They are either all ’s sisters Maybe with their help, I may be able to understand more about the Heavenly Relic and its secrets”

Dugu Zhen nodded gently, “Then Qian Fan and our daughters will take our leave first”

Ji Wuzheng said gently to his wife, “Don’t worry Nothing will go wrong I trust them too”

Dugu Zhen said, “You can trust them now but can you trust thee over time I hope you know I take my leave now”

She stood up and said, “Qian Fan, Suxin, Sufeng and Suyue Follow me”

Suxin sighed, “I have never been to the forbidden ground before and is curious what the Heavenly Relic looks like…”

Dugu Zhen said sternly, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you You have better don’t say anymore”

Suxin looked unhappy, “Yes mother…”

Sufeng whispered to her, “The tiround; we are nearly beaten to death by our father…”

Suyue nodded and there was a tear in her eyes

Ji Wuzheng hummed coldly to indicate his displeasure

After Dugu Zhen, Qian Fan, Sufeng, Suxin and Suyue had left the hall, Ji Wuzheng said, “Come with me”

Ji Wuzheng began to lead them into the inner sanctum

After a feinding turns along the passage way, Ji Wuzheng pushed down a hanging torch and revealed another secret passage

Very soon, they come to a concealed door

Ji Wuzheng turned a secreta dark passageway

Youxue said softly, “So we are going to see the forbidden ground of the Holy Hex Sect? I have heard that members of the Ji Clan are the only ones that are allowed into the forbidden ground”

Lingfeng said, “That’s right Not even Dugu Zhen,and Suyue as well”

Yu’Er was startled, “Aren’t Suxin, Sufeng and Suyue from the Ji Clan too?”

Lingfeng looked at her brother who nodded gently before she said, “Only the male descendants of the Ji Clan and the Holy Maiden are allowed inside It is because the Holy Maiden must always remain with the Holy Hex Sect”

Mei’Er said, “But we are strangers too…even sworn brothers and sisters are not as close as one’s wife…”

She took a quick look at Yi Ping…

Yi Ping saw her glance and he sta I will take you away…”

Lingfeng sighed, “You really have nothing better to say to me…”

Lie Qing said humorlessly, “In the Virtuous Palace and the Invincible Divine Clan, there is a forbidden ground too”

She looked at Ji Wuzheng and Lingfeng with a weird expression, “The only tiers are allowed inside are also the last time that they could leave alive too”

Ding Yun quietly said, “That is right…”

Yi Ping said, “We don’t have to ’s brother I trust him completely”

Lie Qing looked at hihed softly, “You have never been betrayed by your closest friend I have been betrayed on a number of times by people that are close to me until to the point I have lost faith in anyone until I have met you…”

She quietly held Yi Ping’s hands…

Yi Ping said, “Qing’Er, I will never forsake you I proether”

Lie Qing nodded as she said, “So It is like…it is like…this will be the last time that I will see you…”

Yi Ping said with a quick s”

Lingfeng said, “There is a great hero here who can protect anyone, a?”

Yi Ping said, “Lingfeng, you don’t have to be so sarcastic Besides Big Brother and Second Brother, there are so many of us around”

Ji Wuzheng said, “We have reached”

He had reached out another secret e and when he round stair!

Ji Wuzheng said, “Let’s go in”

Gongsun Jing es of the Honor Manor…”

Qiu Wufeng said, “The Holy Hex Sect has always been secretive in its affair”
