Shang Jun stopped talking, because everyone knew what happened next.
After the Three Thousand Sword Sect announced its position and completely gave up joining the battle, the balance of power between the two sides changed. The Tai Sect, Emperor Demon Sect and other forces from the east region began to advance and approached Nanling.
And this directly led to the internal fighting in Yidi Mountain. The Si family, headed by Si Quan and advocating for peace, took advantage of the situation and finally succeeded in imprisoning the emperor's daughter Mu Chuxuan, and drove away the culprit Xu Yue, and with Mu The Tianshen Sect signed the agreement that has influenced the world for a hundred years - the Centenary Agreement.
At this point, the internal strife in the Xiao organization ended, and Xu Yue's side was completely defeated.
It can be said that the "rebellion" of the Three Thousand Sword Sect was the last straw that broke Xu Yue's side, and the reason for their change of attitude was also a question that Lu Jiuzhou, Jiang Li and others had been pursuing for so many years.
Now, I finally know that it is Zuo Qingxuan.
"It's really him..."
Lu Jiuzhou looked downcast. After learning that the friend he had always trusted had secretly planned all this, he found it difficult to accept it.
"It turns out that he was not truly neutral at all. He persuaded Brother Gu and Mo Dao to leave. Yu Heng, who was supposed to leave, appeared on the battlefield, and it seemed to be related to him... Xu Yue had told me a long time ago, I suspect there is something wrong with him, but I...sigh."
Lu Jiuzhou raised his head and sighed, closing his eyes slightly, his handsome face showing a deep sadness.
"He is already unusual. Although he is only ranked thirteenth on the Immortal Ranking, his incomprehensible scheming and strength are enough to make anyone feel fearful."
Shang Jun pondered, and several people also fell into silence, each thinking.
It wasn't until a moment later that Jian Chen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke and asked abruptly: "Oh... I have finally figured out the relationship between Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom and Three Thousand Sword Sect, but what about their relationship with Wanhua Valley?" What happened?"
With a swish sound, the three of them looked at Jian Chen who was looking for knowledge as if they had seen a ghost.
"This... why is Brother Jian suddenly interested in this?" Lu Jiuzhou asked curiously.
"I used to feel that these trivial matters between sects had nothing to do with practicing swordsmanship, so I never paid attention to them. But after listening to you carefully today, I suddenly felt that these things seemed to be quite important."
Jian Chen looked thoughtful and asked Shang Jun seriously: "So my dear friend, what happened to Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom and Ten Thousand Flowers Valley as you said before?"
Upon hearing the question, the three of them looked at each other, showing expressions of relief like an old father's.
The child finally grew up.
"Perhaps I shouldn't answer this question. You should ask the oiran." Shang Jun smiled and turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him. The tenderness in his eyes was heart-warming.
Seeing this, Lu Jiuzhou also looked over. As an outsider, he was also curious about the enmity between Wanhua Valley and Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom.
After all, no one in the organization, including Zuo Qingxuan, had ever mentioned it to him before.
"Since you two want to know, the oiran should tell you everything...but I'll speak first. This matter is related to the honor and disgrace of our sect. I hope that after you know it, don't spread it around."
"It must be so."
The three of them bowed down, and even Mr. Shang looked solemn and listened attentively.
Although he probably knew about this matter due to his sect and status, the details involved were certainly not as well understood by the person involved as the oiran.
After receiving the three people's assurances, the oiran nodded slightly, his eyes gradually became colder, and he asked a question first.
"Have you ever heard of Lan Shi?"
"Lan Shi?"
Lu Jiuzhou and Jian Chen were startled. They both felt a little familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was.
Only Shang Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Lan Shi, seven hundred years ago, the genius of the Lan family in Tianqing was also the number one in the Immortal Ranking at that time. His fighting power was unparalleled and he swept through his peers. His talent in cultivation was so high that he could be called evildoer!"
"Oh? How does it compare with our generation, Ling Li of the Divine Feathers Sect?" Jian Chen asked curiously.
"I'm afraid there is still... a slight gap."
The oiran thought for a while, shook his head, and then said: "Our generation is too special and incomparable. However, Lan Shi was still the well-deserved number one in his generation, and the geniuses of his generation could not hold their heads up. Among them, my former sect master of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley... Hua Man."
"Master Huaman!?"
This time, not only Shang Jun, but also Lu Jiuzhou and Jian Chen reacted in a big way.
Because this woman is so famous.
Not only because she has attained the Tianxuan realm at such a young age, she has also become the sect leader of a giant in the Immortal Realm.
More importantly, her fall.
A powerful man in the Tianxuan Realm finally chose to commit suicide and ended his life!
This incident caused a sensation throughout the Immortal Realm. Conspiracy theories spread all over the place, but no one believed that a person who had reached the top of the pyramid in terms of power and cultivation would suddenly choose to commit suicide.
Even later, giants began to get involved in the matter. While paying close attention to the situation in Wanhua Valley, they formed a joint investigation team composed of strong men from various sects to prepare to find out the truth.
Because the inexplicable death of the leader of a giant in the Immortal Realm is enough to make everyone stay vigilant.
They were worried that it was caused by foreign enemies.
Until the end, when the joint investigation team was about to enter Tianzhou, Wanhua Valley finally gave a clear answer.
It was suicide, not homicide.
In an instant, countless monks were shocked, and the entire Immortal Realm was in uproar. For a long time, this incident became the only topic of discussion among people after dinner.
Even now, it is mentioned occasionally.
"But what does the death of Sect Master Huaman have to do with Lan Shi?" Jian Chen frowned.
"Because Lan Shi is the lifelong love of Sect Master Huaman, and he was also her nameless Taoist companion for the first half of her life!"
The oiran's voice became cruel, and her beautiful face was also a little ferocious at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said: "As early as when he was young, Lan Shi had already been in love with Hua Man Sect Master and secretly married him. But later, Qing Yuan However, the princess of the Fairyland stepped in and used some unknown means to force Lan Shi to leave the sect master, and then openly announced to the world that she and Lan Shi were husband and wife!"
"And for some reason, perhaps because he didn't want to implicate the sect with his personal relationship, or maybe because he had no relationship with Lan Shi, in the end, Huaman sect leader actually gave up the relationship on his own initiative, but he also suffered heavy physical and mental injuries, and spent the whole day with Tears washed over my face, unable to manage the affairs of the sect, my cultivation also stagnated, and I lived in a miserable state until..."
Shang Jun's eyes narrowed, and he finally thought of the secret about Lan Shi, and lost his voice: "Until Lan Shi of the Lan family suddenly died suddenly in the Qingyuan Fairy Kingdom!"
"That's right!"
The oiran stared into the distance and said bitterly: "It is rumored that when Lan Shi died, there were no wounds on his body. There was no sign of a fight even within a ten-mile radius. The Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom also stated that it was impossible to harm him, and even We were sent with strong men to accompany us! But even such a strong man from the Tianxuan Realm died inexplicably in the heavily guarded capital of the Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom!"
As she spoke, the oiran's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice became deeper. She whispered: "The news reached Wanhua Valley, completely defeating the will of Huaman Sect Master. She laughed for three days, and then her whole body fell into There was endless silence, no matter how other people in the sect tried to persuade her, it was of no avail... Until one day, she finally lost all her cultivation, destroyed all her meridians, and hanged herself to death in my Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. Rumor has it that she and Lan Shi planted seeds together. On top of the peach tree...and from now on!"
The oiran raised his head suddenly, tears streaming down his face, and his whole body became stubborn, like a little girl who was bullied, with red eyes and said: "There is an unwritten iron law in our sect, that is, no one is allowed to Make good friends with the Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom, and if there is a chance, I will become the leader of the Huaman Sect and seek justice!"
After the words fell, the three of them listened to the female voice full of hatred and determination, imagining the fragrant soul hanging on the tree among the peach blossoms in the sky, and remained silent for a long time.
For a person who abandoned him, he gave up his cultivation in the Tianxuan realm, and gave up his position as the supreme power of the sect leader. What kind of deep love does it take to do such an act of sacrifice.
"Hmm... So, I remember the Lan family..."
After a while, Jian Chen came to his senses first, pressing his temples, sorting out his chaotic thoughts while looking for someone.
In his impression, there seems to be a child of the Lan family on the top of Yidi Mountain!
"There!"
And sure enough, after a few breaths, Jian Chen found Lan Qing's location very far away.
"That woman seems to be some kind of legitimate daughter of the Lan family, right? Isn't the man beside her your brother Qi Yuan? And... Eh!"
Jian Chen suddenly focused his eyes and said loudly: "Look! Zuo Qingxuan from the Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom and Jiang Li from the Jiang Family are walking towards them!"
PS: I have been filling in holes and describing supporting characters recently. I hope the characters and plot are more fleshed out. I hope you will forgive me and I will continue the main story starting tomorrow.
