The old man said, "It's not a secret, our Fasi clan is the second largest clan in Jinxiao, but it is precisely because this clan is too large that it is highly dispersed, forming many sect branches. Including within the clan, there may be contradictions between the clans. Therefore, the same Fass people may be as close as a family, or they may be as powerful as fire and water. ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, there are many people who just remember that they are from the Fass clan, but there is no way to verify which clan they belong to. These people may have developed in one place and formed another Fass settlement. At present, in Jinxiao, according to the great genealogy of the Fasi clan, there are a total of 86 sects and branches in the early days, and under the sect branches, there are genealogies that can be checked, and now there are 1,322 sect branches, all over Jinxiao. ”

Wan Peng nodded slowly, and said in his heart, it seems that this Fasi clan is indeed large enough.

The old man continued, "These three hundred and twenty-two sect branches, in fact, there are five branches in the southeast, northwest, and middle, which are the largest, most powerful, and most powerful sect branches. The other sects are either attached to these five branches, or they are their own factions, or they live silently like the rest of Jinxiao. ”

"You are the Northern Sect. Wan Peng also drew a rough conclusion from the distribution of these five branches and the places where they were encountered.

The old man said, "That's right, we are the northern branch of the Fass clan, and we are also the most dangerous branch among the five sects. The northern sect branch originally lived in a concentration of 33,000 people, but since they were hunted down, it is estimated that there are less than 10,000 people alive now. And those attached small branches are even more scattered like birds and beasts. ”

"Actually, I've always wondered why the regular army is chasing you. Wan Peng raised this question at this time, and it is estimated that it can be answered.

The old man said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. The regular army was sent by Duan Qing, the president of Jinxiao. In fact, as early as a few years ago, Duan Qing was not hostile to the Fass clan. However, since he received the inheritance of the earth god, everything has changed. He may have learned that the former inheritance of the God of Light was obtained by the Fas, so he began to conduct a large-scale secret visit to find the whereabouts of the secret Jane. Later, he locked the secret in our northern sect branch, so he first negotiated and threatened, and then simply sent a regular army to chase and kill. ”

"The secret is about the inheritance of the God of Light?" Wan Peng asked directly, and then looked at the old man's reaction.

The old man smiled bitterly, "Legends, legends. Because the secret slip has not been able to understand it, we don't know if it is related to the inheritance of the god of light. Of course, the secret is not on us either. The old man emphasized that the secret was not with them, and I don't know if he intended to say it to Wan Peng.

But Wan Peng has a lot of waves in his heart. The secret Jane can't be understood! Whether the secret Jane is the Lingyun Secret Jane, of course it is inconvenient for him to ask now, and asking it at this time does not rule out that it will bring him more trouble, and it may be more difficult to find the path of the Lingyun Secret Jane. However, the Secret Slip cannot penetrate this feature, but it is very similar to the Secret Slip of the Spirit Cloud. Moreover, the old man said that Duan Qing was the inheritance of the earth god obtained a few years ago, which is also more consistent with the time point when Lingyun Mountain began to change.

"After President Duan Qing obtained the inheritance of the Earth God, he began to track down the inheritance of the Secret Jane and the God of Light, which is understandable. Wan Peng looked at the old man and said, "Maybe the things you find difficult to figure out are actually very simple. After receiving the inheritance of God, you will get some information about the natural inheritance. Duan Qing was initially hostile to the Fass Clan, probably because he didn't understand the methods and characteristics of the inheritance of the God of Light, or some key information. But after he got the inheritance of the earth god, he understood these things, so he had to find the inheritance of the god of light by all means. ”

The old man's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Wan Peng, "How do you understand these things?"

Wan Peng smiled calmly, "Because I have two friends, two friends who have received the inheritance of God. So I naturally understand these things. ”

The old man's face changed drastically, "Friends who have received the inheritance of the gods?" He couldn't help but start to re-examine the two young people in front of him. For Xie Ting, they could feel that her cultivation was still young, and her cultivation was good, but there was nothing too human, and for Wan Peng, from the beginning, the old man was not able to determine his cultivation, because Wan Peng's golden pill had already been broken, and the spiritual consciousness gathering core was not something they could perceive. Now after Wan Peng himself said this, there are friends who have received the inheritance of God, and they feel that Wan Peng's identity is very mysterious, and even involuntarily add a little more vigilance.

Of course, Wan Peng could also feel the psychological changes of the old man, and at this time he still smiled slightly, "The seniors don't have to look at me like an anomaly. As I said, we came from Xuanxiao, and to be able to come here, we naturally went through a lot of hardships. Just because my two friends have received God's inheritance doesn't mean that I have anything to do with God's inheritance. ”

The old man nodded slowly, "Yes, too." As I just mentioned, Duan Qing began to hunt down and kill our sect branch. In fact, after he forced us out of the Zongzhi hall, he also ransacked the Zongzhi settlement. And we, after leaving, actually wanted to join the Eastern Sect. Duan Qing should know what we think, because our northern sect branch is not in harmony with the central sect branch, and if we flee in this direction, we naturally want to merge with the eastern sect branch. However, it is clear that he is not trying to kill us all, but to use the process of hunting and killing to put pressure on us. ”

"It's like a cat playing with a mouse. He may have thought that when you can't bear the pressure of being hunted down, you will take the initiative to hand over the secret slip in order to seek peace for the peace of the sect. Wan Peng also felt that this Duan Qing's methods were a little too cruel.

"That's right. The old man continued, "That's why there will be a situation where the sect leader of the sect branch died in the early battle. The sect master also did not resist their challenge, so he would die. ”

Wan Peng snorted and asked again, "Senior." The predecessors have not been informed in the name that Wan Peng intends to ask for advice. ”

The old man smiled, "It's okay. My name is Pu Kui, and the one I have been with is my brother Pu Ying. The two of us are actually the internal affairs and law enforcement elders of the Northern Sect Branch. In addition, Prince Pu Lan is actually the eldest son of the sect branch, and after the suzerain is killed in battle, as long as the sect branch can breathe, he should be enthroned as the new patriarch. And Yazhang Mountain, it should be because of the special identity of Pu Lan's son, so he wants to use his son as a threat. ”

Wan Peng now understands the general situation, but there is another question that comes to mind. "If Duan Qing is chasing and killing you for the sake of the secret Jane, but how could Yazhang Mountain know the news about the secret Jane? It stands to reason that the content involved in the secret slip should be extremely confidential, how could Duan Qing reveal this kind of news. Moreover, the reason why they hunted you down, if it is made public, should not be because of the secret. ”

Pu Kui nodded, "That's right, the reason why they hunted us down is that we secretly hid and stole the secrets of the government dignitaries. However, forces like Yazhangshan are not simple gangs. Their eyeliner is all over the sky, and it's not surprising that they get some confidential information. ”

Wan Peng nodded slowly, "Then, what kind of existence is a force like Yazhang Mountain, and is it a gang that has been severely cracked down on by the current dynasty?"

Pu Kui shook her head, "No, it's not. Although the DPRK did not support these gangs, it also had a tacit attitude towards their existence. In other words, as long as these gangs do not do anything that threatens and affects the DPRK, the DPRK will not interfere with them. ”

Wan Peng roughly understood, and muttered, "This feeling is like Xuanxiao's sect." It's just that Xuanxiao is dominated by sects, and the management of the dynasty is also led by some sects. ”

"That's right, it's similar to what other Xiao says about the sect. Pu Kui said, "It's just that in Jinxiao, there is no such thing as a sect." These free gangs, which are not very subject to the administration of the current dynasty, do not have any special names, and certainly do not have any special names similar to those of any sect. These people are all called by the names of the places where they are located. And it is precisely because it is not managed, so burning, killing, looting, banditry, prostitution, anything can be done. In fact, in a sense, whether the dynasty has a certain private transaction or agreement with these sects is also a matter of general suspicion. ”

"Jinxiao is a place with its own characteristics. Wan Peng said, "The administration and the sect are separated, but they are related to each other. It stands to reason that the executive president has already obtained the inheritance of the earth gods, and he is fully capable of subduing these sect forces. ”

Pu Kui did not agree with Wan Peng's statement, "No, no. All these great forces, in the areas where they are located, have large arrays left over from ancient times as external defense. Even if Duan Qing obtained the Earth God Inheritance, he still couldn't break these ancient arrays. Therefore, even if Duan Qing obtained the Earth God Inheritance, he could still only adopt a tacit attitude towards these people. ”

"An ancient array that can't even be broken by a person who has obtained the inheritance of the gods?" Wan Peng's thoughts diverged again, "Could it be that these are also things similar to the seal of the Demon Realm? If that's the case, what would be the purpose of setting up these great arrays?

Wan Peng's words seemed to be talking to himself, and Pu Kui did not answer. After a while, Wan Peng turned to Pu Kui, "Senior." You said before that if you really can't do it, you will give up Pu Lan Gongzi, the reason is because of the fear of the strength of Yazhang Mountain and their ancient array?"

Pu Kui smiled bitterly and nodded. "That's right. You must know that the current northern branch of the Fasi clan is not as good as before. Previously, our troops were divided into four routes, hoping to escape from the pursuit of the regular army of the current dynasty and leave a living force for the northern Zongzhi. I don't know what the situation of the other three tribes is, even if they are not in danger, our northern sect branch will only have less than 10,000 people. And among the less than 10,000 people, there are only two or three people who have attained Dan. Even if all the forces are gathered, it is not the opponent of Yazhang Mountain. Therefore, between the eldest son and the entire clan, we must have a choice. ”

Wan Peng knew that rescuing Pu Lan Gongzi might be a great opportunity for him to have a close relationship with the northern clan of the Fass clan. He thought for a moment and said, "Senior." It's not as good as this. You continue to move forward, and Xie Ting and I will find a way to help you save Pu Lan Gongzi. If he is rescued, your clan branch can let him take the throne, and if he can't be rescued, it will not prevent you from preserving your strength. ”

Pu Kui was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, "Really?"

Wan Peng nodded, "That's right." But I also have one condition. ”
