Volume II

Chapter 67

"There are a total of five main peaks in the Spirit Beast Sect, you should know this very well as an inner disciple, right?" Ye Xiyao said.

Jiang Hao nodded noncommittally, there are five main peaks in the inner gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, this matter is well known, and the five peak masters on it are all masters of cultivation, even if they are placed in the entire territory of Zhao Kingdom, they are second to none.

But why Ye Xiyao wanted to mention this matter that was not new for a long time, Jiang Hao was a little confused.

And Ye Xiyao quickly gave an answer, and while listening to her story, Jiang Hao's eyes became more and more condensed.

This matter started decades ago, when the peak masters of the five main peaks did not have the cultivation they have now, and at that time, the Spirit Beast Sect did not only have the current five main peaks, but eight!

When Ye Xiyao said that there were eight main peaks, Jiang Hao also showed a rather shocked expression, which was unheard of.

In fact, the Spirit Beast Sect not only has eight main peaks, but even has two major factions of "Spirit" and "Beast" at the same time, if you have to call it, it is "Spirit Sect" and "Beast Sect".

The main peak of the Spirit Sect accounts for five of them, and the Beast Sect accounts for three, since the Spirit Beast Sect has stood for thousands of years, the two major factions of the Spirit Beast are the cornerstone of the power of the sect, and it is precisely with the two powerful factions that the Spirit Beast Sect has been able to gain a foothold in the Immortal Qin Dynasty, which is full of strong people.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Spirit Beast Sect, each main peak had a Venerable-level existence sitting in the town, and the founding patriarch of the sect at that time, the Spirit Saint Venerable, took a step further not long after the establishment of the sect, entered the realm of the wheel of life, and was named the Spirit Saint True King!

Of course, with the prosperity of the Spirit Beast Sect, the number of disciples in the sect sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, once exceeding tens of thousands, an unprecedented scale!

The eight main peaks were full of talents, flourished, and in the following hundreds of years, they produced many talents and became famous.

However, just eighteen years ago, a huge change that affected the entire Spirit Beast Sect suddenly happened, and under the prompting of that change, the two major factions of the Spirit Beast Sect fell apart, and the three peak masters of the "Beast Sect" left the Spirit Beast Sect under the leadership of a certain big man, announcing a complete break with the "Spirit Sect"!

This accident caused the Spirit Beast Sect to suffer a great loss of vitality, and it was almost surpassed by other super sects for a time.

But fortunately, the Divine Shadow Venerable, who had escaped from the world, returned to the sect and quickly rectified the panicked Spirit Beast Sect, which turned the tide and stabilized the status quo of the Spirit Beast Sect at that time.

As for the cause of the accident back then, Ye Xiyao did not explain it to Jiang Hao in detail, but told Jiang Hao clearly that this matter did have a great connection with Candle Li Sword Master Shan Qianqiu, but at the same time, this secret was also a taboo in the Spirit Beast Sect.

In addition, Ye Xiyao also told Jiang Hao that the reason why he told Jiang Hao these news was because he was instructed by the Divine Shadow Venerable to deliberately pass on the matter to him, but he still warned him that if he succeeded in worshipping Shan Qianqiu as a teacher in the future, then he must not ask about it in front of him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine the Divine Shadow Venerable was selling in the gourd, Jiang Hao always felt that this matter would be inseparable from him in the future, so he didn't say anything.

But these things are not important, the most important thing is what Ye Xiyao said next, which made Jiang Hao suddenly startled.

"Senior Brother Jiang, do you know that before this, Uncle Shan not only had a personal disciple who regarded him as his own, but also that this disciple's achievements were so remarkable that he was already able to compete with the five peak masters?"

It turned out that as early as decades ago, Shan Qianqiu had a son, called "Lin Xu", at that time Shan Qianqiu was not yet thirty years old, and Shan Qianqiu, who had no marriage and no heirs, accepted an infant child as a righteous son, which caused a lot of sensation in the Spirit Beast Sect at that time.

Lin Xu's talent can only be described as terrifying, among the disciples of that generation at that time, the most talented disciples were only vain cultivators, but Lin Xu, who was still young, showed a superb talent, began to cultivate at the age of eight, was delusional at the age of ten, reached the peak of delusion at the age of thirteen, and entered immortality at the age of sixteen!

Even in the thousands of years before and after, geniuses who entered the realm of delusion at the age of sixteen were rare, let alone peerless geniuses who had crossed ten great realms in a row and entered immortality!

Lin Xu became a great legend of the Spirit Beast Sect at that time, he was taught by his father-in-law Shan Qianqiu, and at the age of twenty-two, he won the Divine Dao, and he entered the God Transformation Period like a bamboo!

Twenty-two-year-old gods, looking at the entire cultivation realm, there are only a handful of them in the nearly 10,000 years recorded in history, and after these people reach the later stage of the Great Dao, they are all sages and sages in the world, and even more have become the leaders who compete for the throne with Qin Shi Huang!

Lin Xu, who is smooth sailing, is not only extremely talented, but also has a hard time finding his understanding and skills, and his peers and even people of his generation can only look forward to him!

If it is fully promoted to enter the realm, then the upgrade of the Spirit Beast Sect from the Eight Peaks to the Nine Peaks is a sure thing, and there is no suspense!

However, it was such a character who shook the past and the present, but he did something that people and gods were angry with eighteen years ago, and this incident directly led to the rupture between the two major factions of the Spirit Beast Sect later!

The insiders of that generation have always been secretive about this matter and never mentioned it, on the one hand, because of the pressure exerted by the Supreme Elder Divine Shadow Venerable, and on the other hand, because this matter is a taboo for Shan Qianqiu, both of which are unprovoked existences, so for more than ten years, the ins and outs of the truth about the year have gradually disappeared, and no one knows.

Jiang Hao really couldn't figure out what kind of heinous thing his senior brother had done to cause a series of subsequent turmoil?

And according to Ye Xiyao's description, as the culprit who caused the two factions of spirit beasts to collapse, Lin Xu is still at large?

Not only that, but the person who let Lin Xu go from the Spirit Beast Sect back then was also the person who ordered the decision to suppress this matter, that is, the respected Supreme Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, the Divine Shadow Venerable!

In the meantime, what kind of confusing secrets are hidden, it is really puzzling!

"By the way, Senior Brother Jiang, Elder Taishang also asked my sister to bring you a word!" While Jiang Hao was thinking about it, Ye Xiyao suddenly said.

"Sister, please speak!" Jiang Hao was stunned and said with some doubts.

"Elder Taishang said, as the saying goes, 'To untie the bell, you must tie the bell', but the matter of the candle leaving the peak master is not as simple as it seems, if you pass his three tests and merge into his sect to become his true disciple, then the entanglement between Senior Brother Lin and Uncle Shan still needs to be mediated by your era!" Immediately, Ye Xiyao nodded and said.

"Me?" Jiang Hao was a little confused at this moment, the grievances of the predecessors of the previous generations, not only had he even seen the face of these two big men, but he also didn't know anything about the things between them, what kind of reason was it for him to mediate the entanglement?

"Well, in fact, Elder Taishang's arrangement sister doesn't understand very well, but since he arranges it like this, he must have his reasons, and he will never do it at will!" Ye Xiyao also frowned, but her tone did not mean to question, but she trusted this respected master very much.

"Sister seems to be very valued by the ancestor?" Jiang Hao couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"You little fool, you have been in the inner door for so long, and the relationship between the several main peaks is not clear!" Ye Xiyao couldn't help but reach out and knock on Jiang Hao's head, and blamed.

"Where do you start with this?" Jiang Hao was confused.

"In the future, if you become Uncle Shan's true disciple, you must not be lazy, you must go to the major main peaks to have a visit!" Ye Xiyao said angrily, "My father is the Xuangeng Sword Master Ye Que, you know this, right?"

"Well, this little brother naturally knows!" Jiang Hao nodded.

"Hmph, then do you know that my father also has a younger sister, that is, my aunt?" Ye Xiyao glanced at him.

"Huh?" Jiang Hao was a little dazed at this moment, he really didn't know about this, and how could he have the heart to inquire about these news?

"Grandpa Zhou should have told you that there is a Great Gathering Spirit Array under Xiao Yu's Dao Courtyard, right?" Facing Jiang Hao's expression, Ye Xiyao had no choice but to hold her forehead with her jade fingers, and said helplessly, "That big array is from my aunt's handiwork!"

"Huh?" Saying this, Jiang Hao suddenly remembered something.

That is, when he first came to the inner gate that day, Zhou Chunfeng had told him outside the Taoist Courtyard that there was a large array of gathering spirits under the Mingfeng Courtyard, and this large array was arranged by the head of the sect, the lady Qiushui Zhenren.

Mrs. Boss...... Qiushui real ...... Wait!Lady Boss?!

"Now you understand, right?" Seeing Jiang Hao's stunned expression, Ye Xiyao shook her head and glanced at Jiang Hao.

"Understood...... Jiang Hao faintly showed embarrassment, touched the tip of his nose and said, "It's the little brother who is stupid, I didn't expect my sister's aunt to be the lady of the family, Ye Qiushui, a real person in Qiushui!"

"Hmph, it's not stupid, how can you be stupid?" Ye Xiyao snorted coldly, making Jiang Hao's face a little hot.

In this way, it makes sense, Ye Xiyao's father is Ye Que, and Ye Que's sister Qiushui Zhenren is the wife of the supreme Luo Lianfeng, so Luo Lianfeng's father, the Supreme Elder Luo Zuntang, has become Ye Xiyao's direct grandchild...... Jiang Hao's head is a little dizzy!

"No wonder, no wonder ......" Jiang Hao couldn't help muttering, in fact, Luo Zuntang is equivalent to Ye Xiyao's grandfather, but the seniority may be different.

"Okay, it's time to tell your sister that you're done, Elder Taishang also said, no matter what happens in the future, whether you are still in the sect or not, the Spirit Beast Sect is your backing! If you can, it would be great if you could treat the Spirit Beast Sect as your other home!" At this time, Ye Xiyao took a deep breath and continued.

"Elder Lao is worried, and the junior brother is grateful!" Jiang Hao felt a warm current in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile.

Another home...... His original home has changed beyond recognition, he has forgotten the appearance of that home, and even the voices and smiles of his father and mother in his memory are a little unreal.

"If you don't mind, just treat me as your sister!" As if seeing the look of loneliness in Jiang Hao's eyes, Ye Xiyao stepped forward, held Jiang Hao's arm with her jade hand, and chuckled.

"Well, thank you, sister!" Jiang Hao suddenly raised his head, and the alluring smile in front of him seemed to be much closer.
