In the 145th year of the Gregorian calendar, Yang Hongyuan and Ziyuan came to Yanzhou with Yang Zhong and Yang Luo, two ghost cultivators who gathered together.
Yanzhou is located to the south of Xizhou, to the west of Leizhou, and in the southwest corner of the Zhoutian Star Realm.
Because of the long-term drought and lack of rain, and the presence of volcanoes and lava in the territory, it is a resort for the fire element in the world of cultivation.
Although Huzhou is large in area, water area accounts for half of it.
Although the Lei Xing lineage is powerful, it is not easy to practice in the Lei Xing lineage, and the number of monks is the smallest compared to the other lines.
Originally, if the Binzhou Jinxing line developed, it should be the first to attack.
It is a pity that the cultivation world in Binzhou is not prosperous. Yanzhou, which has eight counties, has become the strongest state in the cultivation world.
The overlord of Yanzhou, Fentian Clan, is also the largest sect in the cultivation world, and it exclusively controls the three counties of Fen, Zhu, and Lu.
In addition, there are three Dao realm forces in Yanzhou, including Jinwumen in Huang County, Zhenyang Palace in Deng County, and Yanyang Clan in Ju County. It is said that there is more than one Dao realm ancestor.
In addition, there are also countless casual cultivators in the Dao realm in Yanzhou, so one can imagine the strength of the cultivation community in Yanzhou.
This time, Yang Hongyuan's destination was Lian and Yan counties, which was different from the last time he visited Huzhou.
After all, Huzhou is an unfamiliar place, so it took several months to find out all kinds of information and where to stay.
Yanzhou is not familiar with it, but there are nine spirits there.
He also stayed in Yanzhou for nearly fifty years before and after, and was already familiar with the two counties of Yanlian.
And since he received the inheritance from a master of weapon refining in Qianhu Haiyan last time, after painstaking study, he has already become the real person of Jiuling, and now he is preparing to refine the treasure weapon.
However, the two counties of Yanlian have been quite uneasy in recent years, and due to Yang Hongyuan's instructions, they have not been able to start the furnace to refine weapons. Otherwise, it is not impossible to become a master of weapon refinement now.
The layout of Yanlian County today is different from that of later generations. Yanlian County is located in the southeast of Yanzhou, adjacent to Haizhen County in Leizhou.
The two counties of Yanlian can be regarded as the two most barren counties in the entire Yanzhou, and have become the gathering places for many large and small sects and casual cultivators.
Hundreds of years ago, during the Yanzhou War, an ancestor from the Taoist realm united more than ten families from two counties to establish the Yanlian Sect.
In one fell swoop, he occupied two counties and thirteen counties, which shocked the entire Yanzhou. The ancestor of his sect called himself

Taoist Yan Lian.
However, although the Yanlian Sect is established, its internal cohesion is not strong. It is more like an alliance formed by many large and small forces united together.
Since the ancestor Yan Lian established the Yan Lian Sect, he has not managed the affairs of the sect. Instead, the original large and small forces have jointly managed the affairs of the sect.
He enjoys the offerings of the entire sect and devotes himself to practicing hard in order to make further progress.
Although his disciples in the Taigang Realm hold the position of leader, they are more responsible for mediating the relationships between the various families in the sect.
If it continues like this for hundreds of years, it will be under the suppression of Ancestor Yan Lian.
If the Yanlian Sect takes some time to settle down, it may not be able to become a Taoist sect like the Golden Crow Sect.
Although the timing of the establishment of the Yan Lian Sect was excellent, the Yan Lian Ancestor also kept a low profile and devoted himself to cultivation, thus avoiding the fear of several Tao Realm sects nearby.
But his energy was not enough. A hundred years after the Yan Lian Sect was established, the Yan Lian Ancestor failed to make any further progress despite the entire sect's efforts, and it was a pity that he passed away.
As his disciple, the leader of the Yanlian Sect is naturally much weaker. As the leader of the Yanlian Sect for hundreds of years, he is naturally unwilling to give up the benefits he has obtained.
As a result, he hid the secrets from the various forces in the sect and used the sect's accumulated knowledge over the past century to forcibly attack the Dao realm but failed and died on the spot.
The various forces in the Yanlian Sect were both happy and angry after learning about it. The angry one was that they dared to secretly use the sect's accumulation to attack the Tao realm.
The good news is that once the pair of master and disciple, Patriarch Yan Lian, are gone, the power of the various families is no longer constrained and they can share more benefits.
Ancestor Yan Lian passed away in a hurry one after another, and the disciples of his lineage in the Xuan Gang Realm could not control the scene at all.
The Yanlian sect had only been established for a century, and a large-scale civil war broke out.
After a hundred years of competition, there were originally more than ten powers, and only six powers, Fan, Bank of China, Zhi, Deng, Wei, and Han, remained.
After a civil war, the strength of the Yanlian Sect was greatly reduced. Driven by the various factions in Yanzhou, only nine counties were left in the original thirteen counties.
Seeing this, the remaining six factions of the Yanlian Sect had no choice but to put aside their past grievances and begin to unite with the outside world.
At the same time, a Xuangang disciple from the original leader's line was elected as the leader, which was able to maintain the Yanlian Sect that was about to be separated. However, the power of the sect was in the hands of the six families.
The six families, headed by the Fan family, which was the most powerful at the time, made an agreement not to attack each other, and those who attacked privately were not allowed to attack each other.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, the other five families attacked together.
After a hundred years of turbulence, the Yanlian Sect stabilized, and eventually its structure gradually stabilized.
As of now, the Fan family is the strongest among the six families, with ten real people including one Tiangang and three Xuangang sitting in charge.
It occupies the land of two counties in Lianjun, and even if it breaks away from the Yanlian sect, it can be said to be a famous family in the county.
The Zhonghang family followed, with eight real people including one Tiangang and two Xuangang sitting in charge, occupying one and a half of Lian County.
These two families have been married to each other for hundreds of years, and they have advanced and retreated together in the Yanlian Sect, making it difficult to control the situation.
The third is the Zhi family in the southern part of Yan County, which occupies one and a half of the county in Yan County. There are seven real people including a real person named Tiangang and a real person named Xuangang.
The remaining three families of Deng, Wei, and Han are located in the northern part of Yan County. Each of them has four or five real people, including one Xuan Gang real person, and each occupies a county.
Because the three families are located between the other three Tiangang forces, they report to each other and advance and retreat together.
In the Yanlian Sect, the three families usually unite with the Zhi Family to compete with the Fan and Bank of China families.
There is a county in the heart of the Yanlian Sect, spanning the two counties of Yanlian. It is regarded as a relaxation zone for the six families, and it is also the public property of the sect.
The six families usually compete for the interests of this county. The Fan family occupies 30%, the Bank of China occupies 20%, the Zhi family occupies 20%, and the Deng, Wei, and Han families each occupy 10%.
As for the lineage passed down by Yan Lian's ancestors, now only the leader is an empty shell. They are just decorations, barely maintaining the Yan Lian sect's orthodoxy.
If the Six Families didn't need him as a mediator, he would have been killed by the Six Families long ago.
However, if there is no leader, the six families may have to part ways.
And with it, the Yanlian Sect is here, and the six families can unanimously deal with the outside world and safeguard their own interests.
This is how the six families have stabilized in the past hundred years, and they have been in peace with each other for the past hundred years.
However, with the development of the next two hundred years, the strength of the Fan family and Bank of China has grown rapidly in recent years.
The two families are also becoming more and more powerful in the Yanlian Sect. They are obviously unwilling to accept the current distribution of interests and want to go further.
But it was just an agreement made by the six families a hundred years ago, and they did not dare to break it at will.
But a few years ago, an opportunity was found, which made the Yan Lian Sect, which had been peaceful for a hundred years, make a comeback.
