There is no doubt that there is such a force in the cultivation world, and they lurk in the shadows, threatening the safety of the three ancient families and even the entire cultivation world.

A thought suddenly occurred in Bai Che's heart - the matter of Bai Hua may be just the beginning, and more unpredictable things may happen in the future.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings...... he sighed suddenly.

Bai Sang smiled meaningfully when he heard this, and said: "I don't know if other 'mountain rains' will come, but there is indeed a very lively event recently. ”

Bai Che's heart moved, and he took over the conversation and asked, "You mean the Midyear Festival Sacrifice Ceremony? Isn't that every year, and this year is different?"

Bai Sang's smile did not decrease, and he said casually: "This year is the patriarch's five-year election, you forgot." ”

There's something in this kid's words......

Bai Che's mind turned, and he pretended to be puzzled: "Didn't you say that Bai Dong's re-election as the patriarch is almost a sure thing? Could it be that there are other changes?"

Bai Sang tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Isn't it that Miss Yan is in charge of the Phoenix Jade Que." Second Brother Bai, you don't think things are really that simple, do you?

How many other sects will willingly offer the Phoenix Jade Que, and then let Miss Yan unify the Phoenix Sect with the Seven Divisions to grab their territory?"

Of course Bai Che knew they wouldn't.

He had also analyzed with Ye Xuan before, and the reason why the Blue Dragon Sect would do this was that most of the people of the Phoenix Sect would not accept his aunt as the elder of the Phoenix Sect.

Even if Bai Yan succeeded in forming a spiritual covenant with Phoenix Yuque in the end, without the support of his clan, he was just a light commander.

It's really hard to say which is worse, the upper and lower different hearts and the leaderless dragons.

But listening to Bai Sang's meaning, it seems that there is more than this reason.

Bai Che thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother, you are well-informed, why don't you help us refer to the details?"

Bai Sang was very simple, nodded and said: "Actually, it's not an inside story, it's just that you haven't been in the Bai family all the year round, and you don't know the current situation of the Bai family, especially the Phoenix Sect."

Twenty years ago, the Heavenly Machine Gong passed away, and the Phoenix Jade Que was left uncharged, so it was temporarily kept by the other five sect elders, right?

However, after the 'Battle of the Maple Leaf Forest', although it is a fact that the elite of the Phoenix Sect died, it is not that there have been no young talents emerging in the past twenty years.

In fact, as far back as five years ago, there was a person who was already qualified to be the elder of the sect. ”

As soon as he said this, Bai Che's heart suddenly brightened - feelings are like this!

If someone can really take charge of the Phoenix Jade Que, the Phoenix Sect's dilemma of having no leader for twenty years will be broken.

At that time, the Phoenix Sect's resurgence would inevitably threaten the existing interests of the other five sects, and this was obviously not a situation they were happy to see.

Sure enough, Bai Sang said: "The Phoenix Sect was originally headed by the Greedy Wolf Division, except for the Lian Zhen Division, which was merged into the Greedy Wolf Division, the other divisions were of equal strength.

Later, the Greedy Wolf Division of the 'Battle of the Maple Leaf Forest' suffered the greatest loss, and after your father's disappearance, there was no one to take charge of the overall situation, and the speed of decline was much faster than that of the other divisions.

Even the Lian Zhen Division, which was originally attached to the greedy wolf division, was separated and formed its own branch. The rest of the remaining forces were divided among the other divisions.

The strongest of these divisions is the Broken Military Division. Its priest Bai Ming was one of the three survivors of that year.

Although Bai Ming is young, his qualifications are good, and he has been dormant for more than ten years and finally became the first person in the Phoenix Sect.

He was unwilling for the Phoenix Sect to continue to sink, and as early as five years ago, he proposed that Phoenix Yuque return to the Phoenix Sect, but was rejected by several other sect elders of the Sect Elders Association for various reasons. ”

Bai Che sneered and said, "So as the strength of the Broken Military Division becomes stronger and stronger, the more this Phoenix Jade Que looks like a hot potato to them.

They are not willing to return the Phoenix Sect, and if they do not return it, the Broken Military Division is not a person who is willing to give up. So the old man of Bai Zhenguo simply took this opportunity to throw this hot potato to my aunt. ”

Bai Sang nodded and said, "That's right." Even if Miss Yan is stronger than Bai Ming and can successfully take charge of the Phoenix Jade Que, it has been twenty years since she left the Bai family, and the Greedy Wolf Division no longer exists. And this is the advantage of Bai Ming. If she wants to sit firmly in the position of the Phoenix Sect Patriarch, it may not be easy. ”

Hearing this, Bai Che couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before, he was just worried that Bai Yan would not be able to win the support of the Phoenix Sect, and there would be a problem of disagreement between the top and bottom, but now it seems that the problem is much more serious.

The Phoenix Sect's disadvantage to their family, he believed that with Bai Yan's ability, as long as it took time, it would definitely be able to dissolve.

But if the Phoenix Sect already had a leader, the situation would be very different.

Even if Bai Ming is now "famous and undivided", his prestige is much higher than Bai Yan, who has been away for more than 20 years, not to mention that there is a broken military division behind him.

The people of the Greedy Wolf Division have long been divided among the other divisions, and the Greedy Wolf Yuque also disappeared with his father's disappearance twenty years ago, and it may be difficult for them to reunite with the Greedy Wolf Division.

At that time, it will not be a question of how Bai Yan will establish his prestige, but how to solve the discord between the sect elder and the leader.

There is a world of difference between a Phoenix Sect without a leader and a Phoenix Sect where the situation has been decided, and if they want to control it, the difficulty can be said to be worlds apart.

"These old foxes!" Bai Che couldn't help but curse secretly.

"Actually, it's very easy to crack this trick. Bai Sang said, "That is to let Miss Yan and Bai Ming cooperate, and the two of them will jointly take charge of the Phoenix Sect." However, with my understanding of Bai Ming, he would not accept this suggestion. ”

Bai Che's heart moved, and he asked, "How do you say this?"

Bai Sang glanced at him and said slowly, "Don't forget, he was one of the survivors of the 'Battle of the Maple Leaf Forest' back then, and his parents and elder brother both died in that battle. ”

Bai Che was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant—Bai Ming's hatred for their parents was probably deeper than anyone in the Phoenix Sect.

"Alas, trouble......" he sighed, but said with his hands, "but that's not something I have to worry about. The sky fell, and there was Bai Qing's guy on top. He can't stand it, and his aunt and her old man. ”

Bai Sang glanced at him and said as if unintentionally, "You don't seem to have a very good relationship with your aunt?"

Bai Che was about to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, when he heard him ask, his heart suddenly flashed, and the doubts from before came up again.

He opened his eyes and looked at the other party quietly, and then said with a smile: "My brother is so curious, no wonder even if he is not a member of the Six Sects, he knows so much news." ”

Bai Sang was so shrewd, he naturally heard the tentative meaning in his words, and said with a smile: "Are you doubting whether I was sent by the Qinglong Sect to inquire about the news?"

You can rest assured, I don't have the time to take care of the six sects. It's just that I have my own channels, so I know more, and because someone entrusted me, I just reminded me. ”

Bai Che's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, which master is so kind? I wonder if the elder brother can tell me his name?"

Bai Sang smiled silently, but there was an obvious sense of rejection in his expression.

Bai Che naturally didn't expect this kid to tell the truth, and said lazily: "Well, I know." I'm not like you, this curiosity is almost jumping out of my heart!"

Bai Sang snorted, and when he saw that he didn't ask any more questions, he went with the flow and concentrated on driving.

They drove another three miles, and the traffic became more and more open, and the road became more open.

Bai Che rolled down the window and saw a tall building standing in the distance in front of him, which seemed to be a city tower.

He sighed: "There are actually city gates and city walls in this outer town, which is like Mingyue Castle, so the Bai family is not afraid that the Bai family will follow in the footsteps of the Ming family?"

"Bah!" Bai Sang glanced at him, and said, "Can you stop the crow's mouth? ”

Bai Che smiled, put his hand on the pergola to look at it, and said strangely: "Hasn't the Bai family always been afraid of those deep forest beasts? Why are you building such a high city tower? If you want to prevent thieves, this person with a heart can't prevent it." ”

As he was talking, Bai Sang had already driven the car into the parking lot, and he said disappretently while looking for a location: "Actually, it's useless, so I close the door at night, so as not to let tourists go out of town and encounter danger in the forest."

When the town was first built, Bai Dong didn't know where to get the news, saying that people outside now like to visit some historical sites. In order to attract people to play, the town built this nondescript thing.

Not to mention, over the years, this city tower has really become famous, and it has become one of the landmark attractions of Hongmeng Town. Tourists who come to Hongmeng Town have to go up and visit here.

And the people from other towns don't know who started it, so they sold evil charms on it, and within a few days the stalls were full of city gates and city walls, and the business was actually very good. ”

Bai Che was suddenly happy and said, "Exorcism talismans, fakes, right? The Ming family is dead, who would make that thing?"

Bai Sang said with a smile: "I'll just say that this money is easy to earn, right? In fact, there are so many crooked demons and evil ways in the world, and the people who buy them are just trying to feel at ease."

Moreover, most of those talismans are made of concentrating and meditating herbs, and it is true to strengthen the body, and it cannot be said that it is completely deceitful. ”

The two said that Bai Sang had already parked the car.

As soon as Bai Che got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man leading a group of people to surround him.

He was suddenly startled, and was about to ask Bai Sang, but saw the man stretching his neck and looking into the car. Until he was sure that no one got out of the car, he turned his head to look at Bai Sang and asked in a rough voice, "Bai Sang, where is Miss Yan?"

"Brother Bai He. Bai Yan's voice suddenly came from behind them, and there was a faint choked voice in his words.

Bai Che looked back, and it turned out that Bai Qing had also parked the car and was slowly walking towards this side with Bai Yan.

The middle-aged man named Bai He stiffened, turned around and looked straight at her, and tears flashed in his tiger eyes.

Bai Yan burst into tears, but he showed a smile and stood still in front of him.

Bai He clenched his fists and stood in place, motionless, as if he was stupid.

Suddenly, he roared, gave Bai Yan a bear hug with great excitement, and choked up: "It's been twenty years, and you're finally back...... Welcome home!"

Bai Yan smiled and nodded, staring at the Hongmeng Town Tower not far away with a somewhat deep gaze, and slowly spoke: "Yes, it's been twenty years, and I, Bai Yan, have finally returned." ”

Bai He secretly wiped his tears, let go of her and looked at her carefully, suddenly blushed, and said a little embarrassed: "Time flies so fast, the little Nizi of the year has grown into a big girl!"

Bai Yan chuckled and quipped, "What a big girl, I'm an old girl, alas." But Brother Bai He, you haven't changed at all, and you still love to blush so much when you see girls. I don't know how you caught up with Su'er back then.

Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for twenty years, and I miss her so much that I must have a night talk with her when I come back this time. ”

Bai Yan said with some emotion, and his memory returned to more than twenty years ago in a moment.

At that time, she and Bai Shu depended on each other, and after worshipping under the Tianji Gongmen, because they were of the same age and were orphans, they were very good with Bai He and Bai Su.

Bai Shu treated them like his own brother and sister, and they also admired this eldest brother very much until later......

Thinking of those past events, Bai Yan couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

However, when Bai He heard Bai Yan's words, his face turned pale instantly, and he closed his eyes very sadly.

Bai Yan felt something in his heart, his body stiffened, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that Su'er ...... her?"

Bai He lowered his head silently.

The young man beside him said, "Aunt Yan, my mother died of illness fifteen years ago. Before she died, she kept thinking about you, saying that she regretted not being able to see you again. ”

Bai Yan listened, and suddenly staggered under his feet.

She jerked her eyes, tears rolling down her fingers.
