"So, during this time, the Xinglan Sect has encountered a lot of things, and it has been constantly revived?" Lin Haoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with some doubts.

"Yes, the Xinglan Sect has indeed encountered a lot, and it has almost been destroyed many times, but later, there are always people who turn the tide and lead the Xinglan Sect to the prosperous period again, and more than once. Liu Changqing still replied very respectfully and immediately, "However, unfortunately, although there were many revivals later, the strongest only entered the first-class sects, and could no longer enter the four major sects. ”

"And now?" groaned slightly, Lin Haoxue asked again.

"Now?" Liu Changqing chuckled softly and bitterly, and then continued, "The current Xinglan Sect is a mess, to be precise, it has entered a period of decay again, and it is very likely that it will really be destroyed. ”

"What the hell is going on, what is the current situation of the Xinglan Sect? Lin Haoxue asked.

"Yes. Nodding slightly, Liu Changqing glanced sideways at Mu Ge who was lying on the ground, and then continued, "The previous sect master of the Xinglan Sect was my father, but my father never came back because he went out once and encountered a strong enemy, and now it has been nearly one hundred and twenty years. And I was my father's alone, so I became the young master of the Xinglan Sect as a matter of course. Because he ranked sixth among the core disciples of the sect, he was called the sixth young by other people. ”

"As for him?" Liu Changqing pointed to Mu Ge who was lying on the ground, and said to Lin Haoxue, "He is also the core disciple of the Xinglan Sect, in the sect, he is ranked above me, he is the ranking position, and more importantly, he has a grandfather who is the great elder of the Xinglan Sect, so in the sect, he has always been more casual." ”

"The Great Elder of the Xinglan Sect, is it very powerful?" Lin Haoxue frowned slightly, and asked again, "Could it be that the status of the Great Elder in the Xinglan Sect is more than the status of the sect master?"

However, as soon as these words came out, Lin Haoxue suddenly paused, because she remembered an incident in her previous life, in that life, the person who brought her into the Xinglan Sect was Xiao Hanyan, and Xiao Hanyan was not the sect master of the Xinglan Sect, but just an elder, but Xiao Hanyan's strength was the strongest in the Xinglan Sect, and later, after he broke through, he actually had the title of an elder, that is to say, in the Xinglan Sect, the identity of the elder is very high.

"That's right!" Lin Haoxue was thinking back to the past, thinking about the twists and turns in the middle, Liu Changqing had already given an answer, and he was very sure, "In the Xinglan Sect, the position of the Elder Council is indeed higher than that of the Sect Master, and the Great Elder is in control of the entire Elder Council, so the status of the Great Elder is indeed greater than that of the Sect Master." ”

"Speaking of which, this rule was also specially formulated because of the famous Elder Xue at the beginning, although there was no news after Elder Xue left at that time, but she was the key person who brought the Xinglan Sect to the peak, and the sect respected her, so they called her the Great Elder, and later, the Elder Council was gradually born, and the Great Elder alone had half of the power in the entire Elders' Council. ”

Hearing this, Lin Haoxue also had to shake her head helplessly, she didn't know that the so-called elder council system of the Xinglan Sect was actually started because of herself, but even if it was unexpected, it didn't attract much attention from her, because there was a more important problem to solve at the moment, "What kind of person is the Great Elder you are talking about?"

The reason why Muge is so domineering must have something to do with his grandfather, who was the Great Elder, since he can condone his grandson like this, this Great Elder is not a good person.

"Great Elder Musa, his strength is very strong, he is the most powerful person in the Xinglan Sect, of course, he is also the most powerful person in the Xinglan Sect, when my father was still there, he was able to restrain a little bit, but since my father disappeared, the entire Xinglan Sect has always been his final say. Even I had to be at his mercy. ”

As he spoke, Liu Changqing smiled bitterly, "What's more, now, the Xinglan Sect is under the control of the Great Elder, even if I want to go back, it is impossible, how can I compete with it?"

"You are here because of the Great Elder?" Lin Haoxue asked with a lot of doubts.

"Let's just say that I don't have obvious evidence, but I can guess it, not to mention, I've been here for more than three years. Liu Changqing said as he glanced at the men in black who had been surrounding him and were all with their heads lowered at the moment, "In the past three years, every time I wanted to go back, I would be obstructed by them intentionally or unintentionally, and it always didn't work, and in addition, with the arrival of Muge later, I had no way to go back." It's come to this point, no matter how stupid I am, how can I not know the reason for this?"

"But, what can I do if I know?" The bitterness on the corners of Liu Changqing's lips became even deeper, and he said to Lin Haoxue, "I am alone, how can I fight against the entire Elders' Council, not to mention, even in the Xinglan Sect, I am just an ordinary disciple, even now, I am only the peak of the Immortal King, compared to the unfathomable Great Elder, my strength is really too worthless." Even if he goes back, he will only bring humiliation on himself, and it is better to stay here now. ”

"However, what are their intentions in banishing you here, don't you know much in your heart?" Lin Haoxue asked curiously.

"The Great Elder's intentions, how could I not have guessed, naturally he wanted to destroy my reputation, so that from now on, I will no longer be qualified to get the inheritance of the Xinglan Sect, and I will no longer be qualified to become the sect master of the Xinglan Sect, and at that time, the Xinglan Sect will really be just his personal property. ”

"Has the Xinglan Sect ever been controlled by an individual before?" Lin Haoxue asked softly.

"Yes, but they were taken back in a short time. Liu Changqing replied without thinking.

"So, do you know that there is anything unusual about these times when they are controlled by individuals?" Somehow, an extremely strange thought flashed through Lin Haoxue's heart, and after thinking about it, she asked. After asking, his eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Changqing, and there was a bit of indescribable urgency in his expression.

"Do you want to say something different?" Liu Changqing fell into deep thought, thought about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, looked up at Lin Haoxue, and then spoke again, "Yes, there is something different." According to the classics, every time the power in the Xinglan Sect is grasped by one person, the great elder who controls the Xinglan Sect will become more and more withdrawn, more and more reluctant to communicate with others, and in the end, there will be a mysterious disappearance. ”

"They are all Great Elders, and they all disappeared mysteriously in the end?" Lin Haoxue's beautiful eyes were very unusually nervous, "How did you find out that they disappeared mysteriously? Could it be a mistake?"

"No mistake!" Liu Changqing shook his head, his tone was very affirmative, "That's because, every time the Xinglan Sect is controlled by an individual, there will be an extremely decaying scene, and at this time, there is often a sect master who has saved the entire sect, and the first thing these sect masters do after gaining control of the Xinglan Sect is to go to find the Great Elder, but unfortunately, no one has ever found the Great Elder, that is, no one knows where he went?"

"So, no one has ever found these Great Elders?" Lin Haoxue's brows furrowed even tighter, "Is it possible that these Great Elders have never died, they have always been alone?"

"How is this possible?" Liu Changqing retorted without hesitation.

"Why?" Lin Haoxue continued.

"First of all, can't you match the time?" Liu Changqing continued to argue.

"Are you just talking about time?" Lin Haoxue immediately grasped a key point and said, "But you didn't say their appearance, isn't there any portrait of these mysterious great elders on the historical record?"

"You're right, it's true that there have never been portraits of those mysterious Great Elders, and even the key descriptions are few, almost none except for a title, except for an identity. Regarding their origins, there is no mention of them at all. Lin Haoxue's words slammed heavily on Liu Changqing's heart, he hesitated slightly, and quickly found out a lot of doubts.

"If you want to know the answer, it's actually very simple, and you don't need to discuss it here at all. Standing quietly all the time, listening to the conversation between Lin Haoxue and Liu Changqing, at this time, He Yi'an finally spoke lazily and said casually.

"What way?" Hearing this, Lin Haoxue and Liu Changqing both looked at the person who spoke, He Yi'an, at this moment, and asked in unison.

"Of course, it's the easiest way, go back to the Xinglan Sect and see the Great Elder, don't you know everything?" He Yi'an replied very casually.

"You're right!" Lin Haoxue nodded very approvingly, but said to Liu Changqing, "Now, indeed returning to the Xinglan Sect is the easiest way to find the answer." It's just that I need to know, whether you want to go back, or hope that you can't go back, although it is monotonous here, but you are safe, once you choose to go back, then, I am afraid you will face infinite troubles and crises. Do you want to go back?"

"Of course," Liu Changqing replied with great certainty, "Although I don't know why my father disappeared, but I know my father's wish very well, it is his life's wish to protect the Xinglan Sect, and now, since my father has left, then, I have to fulfill his wish, even if it is nine deaths, I have to choose to go back." ”
