readx;? The west of the Sacred Domain is a fertile field, and on this prosperous fertile land, there is now a world-famous sect, which the world calls the first sect of the Holy Domain, that is, the famous 'Xuanzong' with a position above the many sects of the Sacred Domain!

Xuanzong occupies the largest mountain in the west of the holy area, which is originally a group of mountains composed of more than a dozen different mountain ranges, large and small, but Xuanzong is through the mountain plank road and the pavilion corridor built in the sky, which is closely connected by the mountains within a radius of more than 100 miles, and together form the territory of Xuanzong today. The people in the vicinity of the www.biquge.info have long forgotten the names of these peaks in the past, and now they have only one name, and that is Xuanzong.

There are more than a dozen large and small towns and villages in the vicinity of Xuanzong, and the control of these cities and villages has long been in the hands of Xuanzong, and they are working day and night to provide all kinds of resources to the huge Xuanzong, such as grain, horses, silk, ironware, tea, etc., as long as it is what Xuanzong needs, these cities must do their best to provide it without conditions.

Of course, Xuanzong also loved these cities that provided them with resources, and the people in these cities and villages did not have to pay attention to the taxes collected by the emperor, and at the same time, they did not have to worry about being threatened and bullied by others. The people here will be blessed by Xuanzong, whether they are doing business abroad or farming internally, so no matter what they do, they can be regarded as smooth sailing. And more importantly, Xuanzong can govern these cities and villages in an orderly manner, they are fair and reward and punish the local people, and over time, it will make the local people really do the good folk customs of not leaving the road and not closing the door at night, and the people living in it can also live happily. In the hearts of many people, although it is difficult to get rich and noble under the protection of Xuanzong, at least they can eat and drink without worry, and compared with the rule of the bureaucratic class who leads the emperor, the people prefer Xuanzong's simple and direct means of doing things.

Xuanzong is divided into 'seven peaks and twelve veins', which represent the seven main peaks and twelve mountain ranges of the Soul Sect respectively. Among them, there is also the saying of 'one master, three ancestors, five kings, and twelve elders'.

The 'One Master' is the Sect Master of Xuanzong, and he is also the Sect Master of the Holy Domain, Dongfang Su. And the shelter of Dongfang Su is the head of the seven peaks and twelve veins, Tianxuan Peak.

The 'Three Ancestors' refers to the three Xuanzong ancestors whose status is second only to Dongfang Su, namely Taishang Ancestor, Taiqing Ancestor and Taixuan Ancestor, these three Xuanzong Ancestors are all over 100 years old, and the three of them practice in retreat on weekdays, almost never ask about any mundane things, and they can't wait to have never appeared in front of outsiders for more than ten years. It is worth mentioning that these three ancestors all served as the sect masters of Xuanzong, but they were too old and then retired before giving way to Dongfang Su. The three ancestors are now in retreat together for many years in Dixuan Peak in the 'Seven Peaks and Twelve Veins'.

The "Five Ming Kings" refer to the five Ming kings under the command of Dongfang Su, and they are also the five peerless powerhouses in Xuanzong who are actually in power after Dongfang Su, and their shelters are located in the 'Seven Peaks' Wugao Peak, Xuanyuan Peak, Chaoge Peak, Tianyu Peak and Longhou Peak. And these five people are also called in turn: King Wugao Ming in the East, King Xuanyuan Ming in the West, King Geming in the Middle Heaven Dynasty, King Tianyu Ming in the South and King Longhou Ming in the North!

The 'Twelve Elders' refers to the twelve elders of Xuanzong under King Ming, among which Ao Guang, who once represented Xuanzong in the Heavenly Grace Competition, and Hai Lao, who followed Lan Shixun, are among the twelve elders of Xuanzong. And their shelter is on the twelve mountain ranges in the 'Seven Peaks and Twelve Veins'.

Xuanzong's 'One Master, Three Ancestors, Five Ming Kings, and Twelve Elders' constituted the powerful core of Xuanzong, and even became the most respected ruler of the many sects in the entire Holy Domain.

The Xuanzong system is the largest, the power covers the widest of the many sects in the holy realm, and the status of the sect is divided into the following from top to bottom: sect master, ancestor, Ming king, elder, registered elder, descendant disciple, inner sect disciple, outer sect disciple and nominal disciple. Among them, in addition to the core figures of Xuanzong, there are a total of sixty-six registered elders so far, including Xuanfang and Lan Jin. According to legend, there are 3,000 disciples, 10,000 disciples of the inner sect, 30,000 disciples of the outer sect, and there are countless nominal disciples of Xuanzong, most of them are not cultivating in the sect, but in all walks of life, accumulating contacts and resources for Xuanzong outside, and it is not difficult to sniff out how powerful Xuanzong is through these rumors.

Among them, all those with the title of 'disciple' are divided into nine grades according to their cultivation and strength, with the lowest rank of the ninth rank and the highest rank of the first rank, and above the first rank is the first seat, and the first rank can be promoted to the rank of Registered Elder. And becoming the first or named elder is also an achievement that all Xuanzong disciples dream of in their hard work. The reason why Dongfang Su has to divide the grades in this way is to encourage the large number of disciples of the outer sect and the disciples of the inner sect not to be discouraged because of their humble background, as long as they are willing to practice hard, they will have the same chance to be honored as a registered elder, not only the descendants of Xuanzong can receive this honor. It's just that the division of grades is only used for the results of their cultivation, and it does not represent the improvement of their status, before they really become registered elders, even if a disciple of the outer sect is promoted to the first seat, his status is still below that of ordinary disciples of the inner sect. This is also the rule set by Dongfang Su, the purpose is not to destroy the dignity of the elders and young in the sect.

Each of the disciples of Xuanzong carries a piece of Xuantie Order, which is a sign to prove that he is a person of Xuanzong, and on each Xuantie Order, a quaint character "Xuan" is written on each piece to represent Xuanzong. In addition, one of the four words "嫡, inside, outside, hanging" is written on the back of each token to prove what the identity of the owner of this token is in Xuanzong. The Named Elder was carrying a bronze order, and when Xuan Fang wanted to prove his identity to Xi Chen, he had taken out the bronze order, and Xi Chen concluded that Xuan Fang was the identity of the Named Elder of Xuanzong. As for the 'One Lord, Three Ancestors, Five Ming Kings, and Twelve Elders' in Xuanzong, they don't need any tokens to prove their identity at all, because they can already prove everything with a gesture.

But even such an incredibly large and powerful sect still looked dull when compared to its true master!

Don't say it's a holy realm, even if you look at the five domains, who in the world doesn't know you?

He is the peak powerhouse of the Holy Domain, the famous Sect Master of the Holy Domain, Dongfang Su!

At this moment, on the white jade steps outside the Tianxuan Divine Temple of Tianxuan Peak, Xuanzong Elder Ao Guang and Xuanzong Named Elder Xuanfang were standing there with a puzzled expression, their eyes constantly looking towards the closed door of the Tianxuan Divine Temple, their eyes were full of anxiety, because the two of them had been ordered to wait here since early in the morning, and at this moment it had already passed noon, but there was still no news of Dongfang Su.

"Elder Ao, do you know what the sect leader is calling us in this time?" Xuan Fang asked Xiang Ao Guang cautiously, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the Xuanzong disciples who were standing on the left and right of the steps and were in charge of guarding, and his voice couldn't help but be slightly lowered, "In addition to the two of us, there are other people who have been summoned?"

Hearing Xuan Fang's question, Ao Guang shook his head slightly with a solemn expression, and then said lightly: "How can you and I guess the sect leader's intentions? I don't know why the sect leader ordered us to come, but I heard that someone rode a white-winged dragon horse from the north in the early hours of this morning......

"Sss......ss Lan Shixun from the north sent a letter?"

"Who else will be there besides him at this juncture?" Ao Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his white beard, "I think the Bacheng Sect Master is going to send us to do something again!"

"Will you send us to the Northern Battlefield?" Xuan Fang pondered as he speculated, "Let's go and help Hai Lao assist Lan Shixun together?"

"Maybe!" Ao Guang said softly while brushing his beard, "But this time the sect leader only summoned the two of us, but I can't figure it out! If you want to help Lan Shixun, the sect leader should send more people, at least you have to find another ......."

"Squeak!"

Just when Ao Guang was carefully analyzing Dongfang Su's intentions, the two tightly closed doors of the Tianxuan Temple were suddenly opened from the inside, and when he heard the sound of the temple door opening, Ao Guang immediately stopped his words, and he and Xuan Fang both invariably cast their eyes towards the temple gate. At this moment, I saw that the door of the temple was opened from the inside, and then I saw a handsome young man in a sect uniform running all the way to the two people under the steps, this is a little boy who specially served Dongfang Su's food and clothing, and was personally named "Xuanbao" by Dongfang Su, and Xuanbao is no stranger to Ao Guang and the two, because nine of the ten times they came to visit Dongfang Su were passed back and forth by Xuanbao, and the opportunity to really face to face with Dongfang Su was very rare. In other words, looking at the entire Xuanzong and even the entire Holy Domain, the person who has the most contact with Dongfang Su is afraid of this immature Xuanbao in front of him.

"Xuanbao! Come here!" Ao Guang and the others couldn't help but look happy when they saw Xuanbao, and then hurriedly stretched out their hands to beckon, "Sect Master, do you have anything to say to us?"

"Back to Elder Ao Guang's words, the sect leader does have something for me to bring to the two of you!" Yuan Bao's voice was the same as his appearance, immature and clear, "But the sect leader let me show you this first!" As he spoke, Yuan Bao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ao Guang's hand, which was a secret letter written by Lan Shixun to Dongfang Su. And the meaning is also very simple, that is, to inform the Eastern Leader Emperor Yan Chong that he has left Jinling and fled south, and went to Lu Yifan's Soul Sect for help. Lan Shixun hopes that Xuanzong can send someone to eradicate Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles!

After Ao Guang and Xuan Fang quickly read the secret letter, Xuan Fang nodded suddenly and said loudly: "It turns out that the sect leader didn't let us go to the north to help Lan Shixun, but let us go to Xihuang Mountain to eradicate Lu Yifan!"

"What about Lu Yifan, why should we do it ourselves? Wouldn't it be okay for Huang Xuan and them to go to this matter?" Ao Guang frowned slightly and asked Xuan Bao, "The Emperor and Lu Yifan have a grudge, isn't it a good opportunity for Huang Xuan to take revenge?" Hearing Ao Guang's words, Xuan Fang also turned his puzzled eyes to Xuan Bao.

"When did I say that the sect leader's order was for you to exterminate Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect?" Xuan Bao smiled innocently and said with a wry smile, "I just said to let you see this letter!"

"This ......" was said by Xuan Bao, Ao Guang and Xuan Fang couldn't help but be even more confused.

"The sect leader means to let you personally go to Xihuang Mountain to persuade Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect to return to Xuanzong, the sect leader has promised them benefits, that is, the Soul Sect will be in charge of the southwest in the future. As for the other rules, they are the same as the original emperor!" Xuan Bao said all the orders of Dongfang Su in one go.

"What?" As soon as Xuan Bao said this, Ao Guang and Xuan Fang were immediately stunned.

"How is this possible?" Xuan Fang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the sect leader have to deal with the Soul Sect before?

"The sect leader's meaning is very simple, the capable people in the southwest land live in it!" Xuan Bao replied unhurriedly, "Since Lu Yifan has the ability to drive the emperor away, then the Soul Sect can be recognized by the sect leader, so the sect leader intends to open up to the soul sect." The sect leader has a good impression of Lu Yifan, and he praised Lu Yifan in front of me for being a genius in the world, young and promising!"

"The sect leader actually has such a high opinion of this son?" Ao Guang shook his head in disbelief and sighed, "I have seen this son before in the Heavenly Grace Competition, although his performance at that time was a little unexpected, but it was far from reaching the state of the current genius, now it seems that the sect leader is in love, so he has the heart to accept this Lu Yifan, so as to keep it for his own use!"

"It's good that Elder Ao knows!" Xuan Bao smiled and nodded, "And don't forget to bring Emperor Yan Chong back with you!"

"This is nature!" Ao Guang nodded in response, "Since the sect leader is willing to let Lu Yifan go, then the Soul Sect is naturally our force." At this moment, Yan Chong went to defect to Lu Yifan, which would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net! It seems that the Yan clan has really run out of energy, and even Yan Chong's last life-saving straw has come to naught!"

"The sect leader said that Elder Ao and Xuan Fang have both had contact with Lu Yifan and his group before, so they are not strangers, and it is only appropriate to send you to persuade them to surrender!" Xuan Bao said with a smile, "As for the matter of the Imperial Sect, the Sect Leader asked you to tell Lu Yifan, so that he can rest assured, as long as he obediently submits to the Sect Master, then the Imperial Sect will never go to the southwest to find trouble for them again!"

"It seems that the sect leader is really tolerant and generous to this Lu Yifan!" Xuan Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Not only did he not kill, but he also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility! Lu Yifan had become the head of a sect at a young age, and now he could still get the approval of the sect leader and hand over the entire southwest land to him to take charge, it seems that Lu Yifan's future is destined to be brilliant and unlimited! Compared to him, Xuan Fang is really dwarfed!"

"Yes, I just don't know if Lan Shixun will be angry to death after learning about this. Ao Guang smiled faintly, "Lu Yifan is actually a nail that the sect leader deliberately inserted in Lan Shixun's heart, the purpose is to let Lan Shixun clearly recognize who is the master and who is subordinate in the current situation!

Hearing Ao Guang's words, Xuan Fang couldn't help but nodded, and then said quickly: "Without further ado, let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" Before Ao Guang could agree, Xuan Bao suddenly interjected, "The sect leader also said, let you go with Miss Yi'er on this trip!"

"Yi'er?" As soon as he heard the word 'Yi'er', Xuan Bao was suddenly shocked, and the Yi'er that Xuan Bao said naturally referred to Ji Yuan's sister, Ji Yi'er. I saw Xuan Fang hurriedly speak: "Didn't Yi'er listen to the teachings of the three ancestors on the Earth Xuan Peak? I don't think we need to disturb her and the three ancestors, right?"

The reason why Xuan Fang said this was actually because he didn't want Ji Yi'er to have too much to do with Ji Yuan in his heart. Who else doesn't know Xuanfang's love for Ji Yi'er in Xuanzong? And once in the northern Xinjiang, Ji Yuan once had a good impression of each other because Ji Yi'er and Xuanfang were like fire and water. And now in Xuan Fang's heart, he just wants Ji Yi'er to completely forget the past, forget Ji Yuan, recuperate in Xuanzong with peace of mind, and finally be able to marry him, so that Xuan Fang's heart can be completely let go, otherwise Ji Yi'er will see Ji Yuan one more time, then the good thing between him and Ji Yi'er will be equivalent to adding a little more variable, and this is the last thing that Xuan Fang wants to see.

"And it's enough for Elder Ao and me to go to this trivial matter......"

"I'm just conveying the sect leader's order, the sect leader said that Lu Yifan and his gang are young and vigorous, and he may not pay attention to you if you go so rashly, but Miss Yi'er is Ji Yuan's own sister, and with her with you, you can be more sure when you go to Xihuang Mountain!" Xuan Bao didn't seem to want to explain too much to Xuan Fang, and said softly to himself, "As for whether you take Miss Yi'er with you, please decide for yourself!" After that, Xuan Bao didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back towards the Tianxuan Temple.

"Elder Ao, I ......"

"No need to say more!" Without waiting for Xuan Fang to open his mouth to defend again, Ao Guang's face suddenly sank, and then he said in a cold voice in an unquestionable tone, "You go and prepare, I will go to Xuanfeng and call Yi'er's girl out to go with us!" Obviously, Ao Guang did not dare to disobey Dongfang Su's order at all. And although Xuan Fang was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, after all, his identity was now just a small named elder.

"Dare to ask Elder Ao when we will leave for the Western Imperial City?" Xuan Fang asked in a low voice in a depressed tone.

"After a stick of incense!"
