Yu Yifeng said lightly, "Lil Chen, you once asked me about the five major sects, right?"
Xiao Chen nodded. "Yes. Why?" He did mention it in Jade Qing Sect because he thought of the great devil running out of the Xiao Family"s ancient tomb, Gu Feng, who seemed to have many connections with the five major sects.
Yu Yifeng said, "The five major sects dominated the whole Violet Manor a thousand years ago. The sects nowadays did not exist back then. The Thousand Feathers Sect is the most long-lasting one which seems to have existed for thousands of years. Therefore, the Thousand Feathers Sect is the leader of the five major sects. The other one is Wuyin Monastery. As for the other three sects, they have been long-forgotten 1,000 years ago."
Xiao Chen slightly nodded. It turned out that Wuyin Monastery was also one of the major five. No wonder those sect leaders were respectful to Master Xuan Ji. Xiao Chen suddenly thought of the message in the ancestral temple of the Xiao Family. It seemed that a lot had happened 1,000 years ago...
At this moment, Sikong Yun coughed and cleared his throat. "Everyone, please be quiet. Now, let Master Xiaoyue tell you about the issues."
The crowd might ignore him, but once they heard Master Xiaoyue, they immediately became quiet. Xiaoyue nodded slightly and said, "I rally you here today to discuss the issues regarding the Soul-consuming Evil Flower of the Devil"s Practice. My sect already has some clues after some investigation days ago. There might have been missing disciples recently in your sects. The flowers have something to do with it..."
Before she finished speaking, the crowd went into an uproar. Recently, many disciples had gone missing for no reason. People could hardly avoid the sneak attacks of the Soul-consuming Evil Flowers, so they hated the flower deeply. After some discussions, the crowd quieted down and continued listening.
At this moment, there came a burst of deafening laughter from under the steps of the square. Many young disciples were shocked by the laughter, and their qi and blood became turbulent. The comer obviously had strong cultivation.
"Who!" If someone even laughed in this conversation, he must be here to provoke. The crowd glared at the mountain gate.
They saw three people slowly walking up the stairs. The one on the left side is a handsome young man in a white shirt with a folding fan in his hand. The one in the middle was a skinny, gaunt man with a protruding forehead and high cheekbones. His ears are also very big, so he looked very ugly.
The one on the right was even weirder. He was about three meters tall and looked like a walking hill. The color of his body was close to that of dark copper, and there were various scaring scars. Some chains coiled his body, and he had a huge bell on his shoulder which weighed at least 700 kilograms judging from its quality.
The man walked barefoot with chains around his ankles. Every step seemed to be able to crack the stone bricks and shake the whole square.
Some female disciples were scared by this man. Only the one in white looks normal, and the laughter came from him. He smiled and said, "You"re having a big meeting of the Immortal"s Practice. I, the He Family from the Middle Continent, came here myself. Don"t blame me!"
"He Family! What the h.e.l.l is going on!?"
While the youths here were wondering, the faces of the old people had changed. The He Family was an Ancient Clan of Martial Arts suddenly popped out hundreds of years ago. They dominated the entire Violet Manor as they showed up and held countless cultivators" sects in awe.
One of them used Dominant Sky Ten-fold Slash and continuously killed 4 Nascent Soul Realm experts. Even though hundreds of years had pa.s.sed, many people were still afraid of that.
Back then, every cultivator"s sect hated to talk about the He Family, a taboo subject. Two hundred years ago, they started to s.n.a.t.c.h cultivators" Spiritual Meridians, which was a huge violation in Violet Manor, and made numerous cultivators" sects angry, so a dozen of them joined forces to eliminate the He Family.
That battle was a ma.s.sacre under the murky sky over the dark earth. Blood ran into a river as corpses piled up into hills. More than 20 sects suffered a great loss and finally destroyed the He Family. Since then, they disappeared in over 200 years.
However, today, three people showed up and claimed to come from the He Family. This made everybody shocked. Were they staging a comeback? Nowadays, the cultivators" sects were declining, and several well-known experts had not fully reached the Nascent Soul Realm yet. If they came to seek revenge, who could stop them?
Everyone"s faces changed and could not respond. On the stage, Sikong Yun"s face looked worst. Because the Widespread Wintriness Sect was one of the sects which destroyed the He Family. But now they didn"t even have one Pre Nascent Soul Realm expert. Besides, the sects now confronted and intrigued against each other, so they were no longer as united as they were hundreds of years ago. If the He Family came to seek revenge now, the hundred-year-history of the Widespread Wintriness Sect might be destroyed in one night.
The only back he had now was the Thousand Feathers Sect. He said, "This is the meeting among righteous sects held by Master Xiaoyue of the Thousand Feathers Sect. What are you doing here?"
The young man clad in white smiled gently, turned a blind eye to the people on both sides and walked straight to the stage. He smiled lightly and said, "I reckon this is the Fairy Xiaoyue, who ranks the 10th on the Heaven List. You are a beauty indeed!"
The second sentence sounded impolite, and his eyes were very frivolous. Many young disciples at the scene glared at him. However, Xiaoyue had learned the essence of Daoism, so she looked deadpan and said lightly, "It"s just a name."
Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. "This Xiaoyue is even the 10th on the Heave List. She ranks higher than Brother Yifeng. Can"t underestimate her."
The young man in white laughed and folded his fan. "I admire you. You are not after those names. I just wonder. You are at such a good age, do you get lonely when you sleep alone? My name is He Xunke. Would you..."
His words became more and more presumptuous as many male disciples stood up and reprimanded. Being ignored, Sikong Yun has already been p.i.s.sed off. He thundered, "This is the meeting of the Immortal"s Practice. Don"t you dare..."
Before his voice fell, the crowd felt tremble under their feet. The tall man beside He Xunke tramped on the ground heavily and looked at Sikong Yun like a beast. Sikong Yun could not continue.
He Xunke smiled lightly and said, "I"m not talented, but I came here to ask for some friendly exchange from you Taoists."
After his voice fell, the crowd went into an uproar. He was so arrogant and said filthy words to Xiaoyue, which made many young disciples angry. Many had stood up, but they were immediately pressed down by the elders of their sects.
He Xunke laughed to the sky, when a youth in yellow flew to the stage. He moved swiftly and was covered by a vague white radiance, which was the Body-protection Qi formed by a cultivator"s True Qi. His cultivation might be in the early Core Forming Realm.
"I"m Zhang Liansheng. I"m also not talented, so I come to have some exchange with Brother He!"
