Ouyang Yiping didn't dare to take another step when he came to the gate of the courtyard, and knelt directly on the ground, and said respectfully: "The seventh generation of the Ouyang family head asks to see your ancestors. There is something related to the life and death of the descendants of the Ouyang family, and I beg a few ancestors to show up. ”

Ouyang Yiping said that he would kneel there in the future, quietly waiting for the reply inside.

After a cup of tea, the courtyard door opened silently, and a figure walked out of it: "Yiping, you kid need to run here." You should know that if it's a sect's matter, don't talk about it. ”

Ouyang Yiping replied: "Sixth Ancestor ......"

The sixth ancestor in Ouyang Yiping's mouth is his father. Ouyang Tinghai, the sixth-generation head of the Ouyang family.

The Ouyang family is a large clan that has a pivotal position in the Frozen Temple, serving as the Great Elder for generations.

The Frozen Temple is jointly run by a hall master and eight elders. The ancestors of these nine families were brothers in life and death who braved the rivers and lakes together, and they broke out of their glory in the era that belonged to them.

Later, when their momentum reached its peak, several people joined forces to found the Frozen Temple, and elected the eldest to be the master of the Frozen Temple, and the rest of them were divided into the eight elders.

At that time, the Kaiyuan Continent had not yet formed the current situation in which the five holy lands of mankind checked and balanced each other and divided the world equally. It was an era of heroes and wars, hundreds of thousands of sects were densely distributed on this continent, and their forces were intertwined to form an extremely complex situation, and there were constant battles between large and small sects. In order to survive in this troubled era, small sects either rely on or vassalize large sects, and large sects frequently launch sectarian wars in order to compete for various resources and the right to speak on this continent. The entire continent is full of blood, and the people are struggling to make a living.

The Frozen Temple was established against this background, and naturally from the moment it was established, it had to face the law of survival of the law of the jungle on this continent. A small sect that had just emerged naturally became the target of the existing forces.

And after the demands of the various forces for submission were rejected by the Frozen Temple one by one, this coveting immediately turned into a group attack.

Since you don't want to surrender, then be divided and destroyed by the various factions.

The situation at that time can only be described as a life hanging by a thread. Facing a coalition of more than twenty small and medium-sized sects led by three major sects, the Frozen Temple, which had just been established for a few years, was facing annihilation. At that time, the eldest of the nine families, that is, the first Frozen Divine Temple Hall Master Leng Fengyang, led his eight brothers of life and death and eight hundred disciples to fight to the death to fight several times the strength of his enemies. In the end, the Frozen Temple won a tragic victory, Leng Feng Yang burned his soul, and the three strongest god-level masters of the three major sects died together, the fourth elder Cai Tongrong, the fifth elder Gao Wuhua, and the seventh elder Qian Pingqi died in battle. Finally repelled the enemy.

The result of this battle was much to everyone's surprise, although the Frozen Temple was also seriously injured, the hall master was killed in battle, the eight elders went to the third, and most of the disciples were killed or wounded. However, the battle intent and madness that erupted in the dying moment of the Frozen Temple made all the sects no longer despise this young little sect that had appeared for less than a few years.

The Frozen Temple thus gained a once-in-a-lifetime period of development, and in the decades that followed, the Frozen Temple grew at a rate that left everyone jaw-dropping.

Seventy-six years later, the Frozen Temple took revenge.

All the sects that had attacked the Frozen Temple back then, as well as the small cultists who tried to take advantage of the fire, were subjected to bloody revenge from the Frozen Temple. Nearly 100 sects were wiped out at almost the same time, including seven large sects that ranked in the top 100 of all sects in strength and had a heritage of more than 1,000 years. His men were killed, and the wealth of the faction was plundered.

At the same time, branch halls of the Frozen Shrine were rapidly established on this land.

For a while, all the sects around the Frozen Temple were in danger, and the small sects hurriedly wrote down to express their surrender. Even some of the main sects sent envoys thousands of miles to express their friendship.

Since then, the Frozen Temple has gained fame and dominated one side. In the end, as the northern overlord of the Kaiyuan Continent, he was called the Five Holy Lands of Renjie along with the other four sects that were also powerful and had reached the peak. It divided the sphere of influence of the Kaiyuan Continent and ended the sectarian melee that lasted for thousands of years.

Today's Kaiyuan Continent, under the leadership of the Five Holy Lands, has gone through a period of hard-won stability.

In this period of the Frozen Temple's journey from the place of life and death to its rapid rise, and then to the apex of the human world, the Great Elder, the head of the Eight Great Elders of the Frozen Temple, Ouyang Kong, the head of the Ouyang family, has made great contributions, and is praised and respected by the entire sect world.

At the beginning, the Frozen Temple had just passed the crisis, and the sect's power was greatly damaged, and the people's hearts were unstable, and the situation was urgently needed. But at that time, the hall master Leng Feng Yang was dead, and his only son Leng Fangguang was only sixteen years old, and his strength was only the Holy Emperor's top grade, so he had no ability to preside over the overall situation. Therefore, the surviving second, third, sixth, eighth, four elders and the newly appointed fourth, fifth, and seventh, a total of seven elders, reached a consensus to jointly elect the Great Elder Ouyang Kong as the new hall master of the Frozen Divine Temple.

This was a helpless move, and it was the only desirable move at the time. What's more, Leng Feng Yang had made a last wish before the battle, if he died in battle, he would ask the brothers to nominate a successor to the hall master, just ask a few brothers to take care of their descendants.

In this way, it seems that Ouyang Kong's succession is logical.

But the final result was that Ouyang Kong himself strongly opposed it, and even swore in public: I, Ouyang Kong, will never do anything unrighteous even if I die, the Frozen Temple was created by Leng Feng Yang, and naturally his son will succeed him as the hall master.

Ouyang Kongli overrode the public opinion, and made every effort to promote Leng Fang Guang as the new hall master of the Frozen Divine Temple, and he continued to serve as the Great Elder to assist him with all his might.

After that, Ouyang Kong led the Frozen Temple to recuperate and gradually recover and strengthen himself. On the other hand, he tried his best to teach Leng Fangguang. After Leng Fangguang really grew up, what he inherited was already a frozen temple that had a firm foothold, developed and grown, and was full of vitality.

And in the fifth year after Leng Fangguang took over, the Frozen Temple officially began the revenge and expansion operation.

What moved Leng Fangguang even more was that after the Frozen Temple established the position of overlord, Ouyang Kong took the initiative to propose an elder tenure system, that is, each elder should not serve for more than a hundred years, and elders who had exceeded their term of office should immediately step down.

At the same time as proposing this system, Ouyang Kong automatically abdicated on the grounds that he had been the Great Elder for more than a hundred years. Living in seclusion in a secluded place in the Frozen Temple means that as long as it is not a special situation, you will never ask anything about the Frozen Temple.

Under Ouyang Kong's prestige and drive, the remaining seven elders also stepped down one after another and lived a secluded life.

This move removed all obstacles for Leng Fangguang to completely control the Frozen Temple.

In this way, Ouyang Kong's righteous actions made the entire Frozen Temple admire. Leng Fangguang also had great respect for Ouyang Kong because of this, and privately worshiped Ouyang Kong as his father, and treated each other as a father and son.

Leng Fangguang also announced that the system of the Eight Elders of the Frozen Temple would never be abolished, and that the position of the Eight Elders would always be held by the people of the Eight Great Families. Unless the Eight Elders are guilty of rebellion, they will never change.

Leng Fangguang's move greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Frozen Temple, firmly gathering the Eight Elder Families around him. It also laid the foundation for the supremacy of the Holy Land of the Frozen Temple.

At the same time, Leng Fang was widely expressed with the eight major families with one heart and one mind, and also followed Ouyang Kong's fixed palace director's period, abdicated early, and went into seclusion with Ouyang Kong.

This move not only greatly alleviated the suspicion between the Hall Master Family and the Eight Great Elder Families, but also inadvertently accelerated the speed at which the Frozen Temple cultivated disciples. Because you have to produce enough successors during your tenure to succeed you. It is even necessary to train more than one.

Today, the Frozen Temple has gone through six generations of elders and six hall masters. Today, it is the seventh generation.

From this point of view, the Ouyang family, as a great elder family, the several old ancestors who lived in this courtyard were even more noble than the current Frozen Divine Hall Master.
