In the outside world, there was a stir because of the change of leader of Taiping Dao.
Within Taipingdao Gate, some undercurrents are also happening.
Koizumi Peak.
In recent years, many new true immortals have been born in Taiping Dao.
Among these new true immortals, the one who was born in the south of the region and is more famous is naturally headed by Yang Zhenren, who became an immortal three hundred years ago.
Yang Zhenren's real name is Yang Xiu'an, and he comes from the Yang family of Fenglei Castle in the original Qingyang Kingdom.
However, since the Yang family merged into Taiping Dao, the so-called Fenglei Castle naturally ceased to exist.
However, the entity of the Yang family still exists in Taiping Dao.
In recent years, as Yang Xiu'an became a true immortal, the Yang family's reputation in Taiping Road gradually grew.
Nowadays, there are more than a hundred people in the Yang family who have become inner disciples of Taiping Dao, and three more are among the true disciples.
In addition, as the head of the family, Yang Xiu'an is a true immortal. With the Yang family members as his wings, he has completely established a faction in Taiping Dao.
Many members of the Yang family, monks who were married to members of the Yang family, and some disciples who came here to gain fame, totaling hundreds of people, gathered under Yang Xiu'an's sect.
And these people are also secretly ridiculed as "Yang Clan" by many disciples in the sect.
From this title, it is not difficult to see that this kind of door-within-a-door situation is disliked from the bottom of their hearts by many disciples who aspire to the Taiping Dao.
It is believed that the people of the Yang family are just blood-sucking insects, parasitizing in Taiping Dao at this time, and gradually taking over the magpie's nest.
However, in the face of this hidden danger, many people see it and are anxious in their hearts.
However, the top management of Taipingdao has not taken any action. Instead, they have just sat back and watched this phenomenon spread and develop, which has made many people feel extremely disappointed and angry.
Especially this "Yang Clan", in recent years, has been attracted and supported by the Immortal Sects of the Nine Provinces in the Western Region, and has attracted many disciples who are inclined to the Nine Provinces in the Western Region. Its momentum has become more and more powerful, and it has gradually become an unstoppable trend.
This is even more worrying.
The knowledgeable and loyal people in the Taiping Dao Sect are becoming more and more worried about this. Many of them met directly with the headmaster and pointed out the shortcomings, but they were ignored and reprimanded in return.
So more people lamented it.
We can only watch helplessly as Taiping Road becomes more and more prosperous, but the internal divisions become more and more serious, turning into a vicious cycle in which the stronger the development, the more hidden dangers.
Slowly waiting for the sect to die.
However, just when everyone no longer had hope for this.
The dawn has come.
The higher-ups in Taipingdao Gate finally noticed the chaos in the gate and responded to it.
The irresponsible leader Lu who only wanted to make money was finally dismissed by the top management.
A new head coach is about to come to power with a heavy responsibility and lead a revolution within the sect.
For a time, countless loyal disciples of the sect began to cheer and run around telling each other, feeling very excited.
But at the same time, some thoughtful people began to panic.
When the news spread that the new headmaster was about to take over, Yu Shipeng, who was a senior member of the sect and had not heard the news beforehand, only found out about it at this time, hurriedly came to look for his senior brother.
"Senior Brother Yang."
After being welcomed into the mountain, Yu Shipeng saw Yang Xiu'an, with a hint of panic on his face, and quickly asked: "Senior brother, there is a new head teacher in the sect, do you know about this?"
Yu Shipeng broke through to become a true immortal a hundred years ago. In terms of qualifications, he is the least qualified among the true immortals in Taiping Dao.
Moreover, this person is said to be a true immortal adopted by Taiping Dao since childhood and independently trained.
But in fact, the origin and foundation of this person are very suspicious.
Because Yu Shipeng was born in the Leshan Kingdom. Yes, it was the Leshan Kingdom that was one of the two kingdoms, Leshan and Anyang, that the Evergreen Immortal Sect was forced to cede by Taiping Dao.
He joined the local Taiping Road Villa in the fifth year after the Leshan Kingdom was ceded.
Because of his outstanding talent and first-class qualifications, he received the attention of other local hospitals and carried out key training.
After practicing for a hundred years, the three qi have been condensed.
Therefore, he was worshiped as an inner disciple and recommended to the sect headquarters in Miyun Mountain for further training.
After another three hundred years of cultivation, Yu Shipeng's cultivation improved rapidly, and he soon reached the realm of Five Qi Chaoyuan, where he could try to attack the fairyland.
So according to the sect's custom, he traveled out to collect various fairy materials, accumulate contributions, and prepare to exchange for a country's Qi breakthrough.
The place he chose to visit was within the jurisdiction of the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
And after traveling for more than a hundred years, Yu Shipeng collected several rare fairy materials and offered them to the door, meeting the contribution requirements for exchanging a country's Qi.
Then he didn't hesitate. After he had contributed enough, he immediately exchanged it for Leshan Kingdom's energy. He said he wanted to use his hometown's energy to break through, and maybe he could get some luck to help.
Maybe he really was favored by his hometown.
After Yu Shipeng had been in seclusion for more than sixty years, he broke out and successfully became a true immortal.
After Yang Xiu'an, he became a native of the Evergreen Territory and the second true immortal in Taiping Dao.
However, there has been a rumor circulating about his breakthrough.
When Yu Shipeng made his breakthrough, he not only relied on the energy of Leshan Kingdom, but also the energy of another country, Biyuan, within the jurisdiction of the Evergreen Immortal Sect next to Leshan Kingdom.
Moreover, when he traveled within the territory of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, the immortal materials he obtained were directly funded by the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, so many disciples in the sect have traveled to the Evergreen Immortal Sect and have gained very little over the years. Why would he have such strange encounters?
In just over a hundred years, after gathering so much immortal material, can we directly break through and become an immortal?
In addition, the place where Yu Shipeng was born was the original jurisdiction of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, and the time when he joined Taiping Dao was when the Leshan Kingdom changed hands.
It is difficult not to make people wonder whether Yu Shipeng is a spy specially placed by the Evergreen Immortal Sect on Taiping Road?
However, this suspicion is only circulated in private.
Various theories are just speculation and never have any solid evidence.
And Yu Shipeng has done his job for the sect these years and has done his duty without making any mistakes.
It is of course impossible to win a true immortal based on just some inferences.
Therefore, this Yu Zhenren still lived a happy life in Taiping Dao, and even like Yang Xiu'an, he also attracted a group of monks from Leshan and Anyang to form a group of Yudong sect.
And with the Yudong sect as the core, they began to win over monks from Xiaye and Jiuchuan countries, and formed an interest group with the region as the core, which was called "Yumen", parallel to Yang Xiu'an's "Yangmen", and formed an interest group. The two major dangers in Taipingdao Gate.
Yu Shipeng's behavior is actually one of the important reasons why others suspect that he is a spy of the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, why did Yang Xiu'an create a "Yang Clan" that leans toward Kyushu, and you immediately created a "Yu Clan" that leans toward the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
And the two factions are constantly fighting each other on weekdays.
Yang Xiu'an and Yu Shipeng were both sarcastic and sarcastic when they met. They never had a good look on their faces.
By doing this, aren't they treating Taiping Dao as a place for a battle between the two great immortal sects, Jiuzhou and Changqing?
The Yunan sect, which was in good condition, was turned into such a mess. The disciples were suspicious, the disciples were alienated, and it was a chaotic situation.
However, this is all in the past.
Normally, the two factions have their own tendencies, and of course they fight to the death.
But when a knife cuts over the head, without making any distinction, both factions will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Faced with the rumored menacing new head coach.
Yu Shipeng couldn't care less. After hearing the news, he came to Yang Xiu'an to discuss how to deal with it.
"I know."
Looking at Yu Shipeng who was in a panic, Yang Xiu'an kept his calm face and said calmly: "Junior brother Yu, why are you so anxious? The new headmaster has succeeded to the throne. I will just join you in congratulating you. What are you afraid of?"
Regarding Yu Shipeng, Yang Xiu'an was not sarcastic.
In the past, the two of them only had conflicting interests and different stances, which led to fierce arguments.
But now life and death are at stake. If grasshoppers on the same rope start fighting among themselves, they will really destroy themselves.
But when Yu Shipeng heard this, he didn't feel at ease and was still nervous: "Of course I know that the new headmaster has succeeded and I want to congratulate him, but why does the new headmaster come here? Doesn't Senior Brother Yang know?"
Yang Xiu'an glanced at him and replied calmly: "In order to clear up the chaos in the sect, combat the spies in the sect, and bridge the suspicion among the disciples. This is why the new headmaster came to the throne."
Yu Shipeng said anxiously: "Senior brother, if you know it well, why can you still sit here?"
Yang Xiu'an asked strangely: "Why can't I sit still? The new headmaster wants to clear up the chaos in the sect. This is a good thing. Taiping Road is indeed too chaotic now. If the headmaster wants to solve it, you and I just need to cooperate."
As for cleaning up the spies in the sect, senior brother, I am not a spy, so what do I have to fear?
Once the above two points are completed, the suspicion among the disciples will naturally be eliminated.
It is a good thing that brotherhood and friendship have returned to each other, and we should support them.
Junior brother, you are so anxious, is it because you don't want to see this? Or are you, junior brother, a spy? "
Yang Xiu'an asked slightly heartily.
Unlike Yu Shipeng, who is full of doubts, he has a clean background and clear origins, and is not afraid of others investigating.
The reason for forming cliques before was to help the clan, and since he was appointed Headmaster Lu, he did not object, so he established a "Yang Clan" to benefit himself.
The core logic here is to develop and help a group of clans, and at the same time use the power of the clans to gain more resources for their future practice.
In essence, it is family love and spiritual practice.
As for bringing the "Yang Sect" to the Kyushu Immortal Sect, that is naturally their core base, which is located next to Kyushu in the west of the region, and Kyushu also provides benefits.
And the little thought of repaying gratitude in Yang Xiu'an's heart.
Well, it’s just repaying the favor.
At the beginning, Yang Xiu'an contributed all the accumulated inventory in the sect and obtained a large number of contribution points from the sect, but it was still far from being exchanged for the energy of a country.
At that time, he chose to travel and wanted to find supplements from outside.
But there are so many monks traveling in the outside world, and there are local immortal sects in various places that are local leaders. There are thousands of monks in the world, all of them want to achieve their fortune by seeking secluded places and exploring mysteries.
This kind of traveling and treasure-hunting life can be said to be a lot of money. Why are you so lucky?
Yang Xiu'an had only been out for a few decades, but he was able to directly find a large amount of treasures and make enough contributions.
This cannot be purely luck, of course a little help from outsiders is indispensable.
For example, the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, which was adjacent to him and had even had some contact with him during the Yang family's period in Fenglei Castle, took the initiative to come to him at this difficult time and was willing to provide him with help.
It was with the help of Jiuzhou that Yang Xiu'an was able to successfully obtain immortal materials, and then use this as a basis to change the energy of a country and break through to the realm of true immortals.
It is undeniable that Kyushu helped him a lot in becoming an immortal.
So after he became an immortal, he reciprocated the favor and had a lot of favorable impressions of Kyushu.
But these biases are within controllable limits.
He did not betray the interests of the sect, nor did he reveal the core secrets of the sect to Jiuzhou. He only took the disciples who were attached to him and made friends with the monks of Jiuzhou.
And these were all directly and openly supported or allowed by default by the two previous leaders.
In short, Yang Xiu'an did not go out of his way.
For the things he did, even if the sect came to investigate, they would only give him a verbal reprimand after the investigation, and it was impossible to do anything to him.
Now that the sect does not allow the disciples in the sect to have too obvious tendencies towards the outside world, it does not allow them to form cliques and cause substantial divisions in the sect.
That would not be a good idea.
Over the years, he has helped Jiuzhou a lot, and he has repaid the favor of giving the treasure in the first place.
As for not forming cliques, that's okay too.
After becoming an immortal and living for three thousand years, Yang Xiu'an's concept of clan was not as strong as before he became an immortal.
After all, immortals and mortals are really two species and two concepts.
The life of a mortal, even the life of a monk among mortals, is far different from that of a true immortal.
Even for a mortal monk with five qi, his longevity is only equivalent to a quarter of that of a true immortal.
And if it were just a mortal, the life of a true immortal, his descendants would probably be able to reproduce for one or two hundred generations.
After generations of reproduction, how much of the descendants, except for one with the same surname, and those who call themselves ancestors really have their own blood?
Under such circumstances, after everyone close to them dies, even if they are from the same family, it will be difficult to have much affection for the descendants who are separated by who knows how many generations.
compare to.
On the contrary, he is closer to the sect that cultivated him, the brothers who cultivated and advanced with him, and the teachers who taught him earnestly.
Because they could accompany them from beginning to end, their mutual feelings spanned their long lives, which was far more important than mere family affection.
Let them choose between their family and their sect. I believe most of them will choose the latter.
And Yang Xiu'an is only in his early thousand years old now, and some of his children have already died at the end of their lives.
But some grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still alive.
With these relatively close descendants around, he would not completely cut off his relationship with the family.
But without his direct descendants, it was hard to say that he could be completely cared for by only some grandchildren.
After all, he has only been the head of the Yang family for three to four hundred years.
But it took seven hundred years to become a Taiping Dao disciple.
If one has a higher sense of belonging between the two, it is of course the disciples of Taiping Dao.
Now the sect wants to innovate and cheer up. As Yang Xiu'an, who has been greatly favored by the sect and even relied on the sect to become an immortal, of course he has no reason to refuse.
Maybe even deep down, I feel happy.
Although he was a part of the previous chaos in the sect, he had no choice but to follow the trend due to the overall chaos.
It’s not that he really wants to bring down the Taiping Dao sect.
This primary and secondary contradiction needs to be clarified.
So to sum up all the above, Yang Xiu'an felt a little guilty, but it was just a small guilt, not a big one.
In his heart, he never thought about betraying the sect.
The sect was kind to him in cultivating him and had a feeling of enlightenment. These kindnesses were enough to be repaid in his lifetime, so how could he betray him!
However, Yang Xiu'an can guarantee that he has a clear conscience, but it is difficult to say what Junior Brother Yu is thinking in front of him.
He is fully aware of the many rumors from the outside world.
Compared with himself, who has a clean net worth, Yu Shipeng is obviously full of doubts, and his origins are worthy of doubt.
Especially now.
Facing the sect's innovation, this person was so panicked. He looked like there was something wrong with him, and he had a big secret hidden in his heart.
Think of this.
Yang Xiu'an became wary and looked at the other party, wondering if he should be captured and sent to the new headmaster for interrogation.
"How could Senior Brother Yang slander me like this?"
Facing Yang Xiu'an's heart-wrenching words, Yu Shipeng's expression suddenly changed, showing anger: "The master trained me, pulled me out among mortals, brought me back to the sect, taught me Taoism, and that's how I am today.
I am not a plant, how can I not have feelings?
The teacher's great kindness is difficult to repay in this lifetime, how dare you betray it?
The reason why I am panicking is because I was greedy for profit, formed a clique for personal gain, and fought with Senior Brother Yang, which is why the sect is in such chaos.
I realized that I had made a mistake in my heart, and I was afraid that the sect would blame me, so I thought of asking my senior brother to discuss how to make up for my mistake.
Senior brother is so suspicious of me, who do you think he is? "
Yu Shipeng looked sad and angry, as if he was extremely angry after being suspected.
And Yang Xiu'an looked at his expression carefully for a while, but it was still difficult to tell whether the other party was acting or showing his true feelings.
After thinking about it for a while, I had to give up.
Regardless of whether the other party is traitorous or loyal, the new head teacher will investigate and deal with it.
Even if the headmaster doesn't care, there are still many senior brothers and uncles above, and where are the Supreme Elders above?
It's not his turn as a low-ranking true immortal in the sect to take care of it.
Thinking of this, his face finally softened and showed a hint of apology: "Junior brother, don't blame me. It was because I was in a panic and spoke arbitrarily. Wherever I hurt my brother, I hope I will forgive him."
"I know there are many rumors within the sect, which makes many people doubt me, but my heart is true and has always been towards the sect.
It's normal for senior brother to have these doubts. No wonder senior brother.
But sincerity is clear and can be seen from the sun and the moon.
In the future, time and God will prove my sincerity towards the sect. "
Yu Shipeng spoke of the misery in his heart, expressed his grievances, and then cried sadly: "It's just that junior brother is thinking about the sect and wants to get close to the sect, but the sect never gives him a chance.
This time, the sect's rotation of teachers is such a big event, but you and I were the last to find out that we were from the same batch as the disciples in the sect.
My senior brother and I are true immortals in the sect. Didn't anyone discuss the change of headmaster with us?
The sect treats us like it is guarding against outsiders.
But when it comes to major matters, several headmasters and the hidden lineage elders in the sect will discuss it on their own, but we, the natives of the Evergreen Region, are excluded.
We are all Taiping Dao disciples, why are we different?
It's the same with the change of headmaster this time. It's another Hidden Vein headmaster whom I've never heard of. How many things are still hidden from us in this sect?
How long do we have to wait, and what do we do to gain the sect's trust? "
Yu Shipeng spoke of his dissatisfaction and expressed all his resentments towards the sect over the years.
And hearing what he said, Yang Xiu'an's expression also changed, and his heart ached.
A knot that spans the hearts of all Taiping Dao disciples was revealed in these words.
