Master Huode stood up and poured a bowl of wine for Gu Qingfeng, grinned and said, "I just want you to do a small favor."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and smiled. From the first time he heard Huo De say that he wanted to cleanse himself from the dust, he knew that things were not that simple. Looking at the table full of delicacies and the more than thirty jars of ice and fire old cellar, he thought
Looking at the humility on Master Huode's face, Gu Qingfeng knew that this favor was definitely not a small one.
Of course, whether it is a small favor or a big favor, if he can help, Gu Qingfeng will naturally not refuse. After all, when he was young, Master Huode did help him many times and even saved his life. How could Gu Qingfeng do this?
Not helpful.
But when he asked what kind of help he could help, Huo De did not say it directly, but asked: "Gu boy, you have been with our Yunxia sect for a long time, right. How do you think the sect compares with when you were a child?"
"He's a lot more imposing, and his overall strength is also very strong. I heard that there are more than ten thousand disciples in the three mountains, six halls, nine peaks and twelve courtyards. It seems that there are twenty-four subordinate gangs, and the number of gangs is even more numerous."
I heard Ouyang Ye talk a lot about Yunxia Sect when I was on the road. Gu Qingfeng knew more or less about it, and its overall strength was much stronger than it was five hundred years ago.
"well."
Master Huode sighed and said: "Gu boy, what you said is indeed good, but...it won't take long for our Yunxia sect to be robbed by outsiders."
Robbed by outsiders?
Gu Qingfeng didn't understand.
"This matter has to start with the catastrophe of the heavens a hundred years ago."
"The catastrophe of the heavens?" Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up a spiritual fruit and ate it, and asked: "Doesn't the catastrophe of the heavens have no impact on the secular world?"
"It is true that the catastrophe did not damage our world, but the impact it brought was much greater. When the catastrophe occurred, the whole world was in chaos, demons were rampant, and the major sects were killing each other and robbing each other for resources. The few of us
The brothers fought tooth and nail to protect the sect, and although they managed to hold on in the end, my brother, the leader, was seriously injured as a result."
"You mean Master Tude is injured?"
Gu Qingfeng knew that Huode had four senior brothers, namely, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and the one who was in charge of Yunxia Sect was his senior brother, Master Tu De.
"The injury was serious, almost life-threatening, and he has been in seclusion for a hundred years."
"Oh? What about now?"
Gu Qingfeng has a good relationship with Huo De, but his relationship with the other four is not so good. It can be said that except for Huo De, the other four people have more or less personal grudges with him.
Back then, Gu Qingfeng was admitted to the sect with excellent results, but was rejected by Master Mu De due to qualification issues.
Back then, Gu Qingfeng beat up a disciple of Jin De Zhenren and was almost killed by Jin De Zhenren.
There is also Shuide Zhenren, and Gu Qingfeng is full of resentment against him, because Hongxiu, who fell in love with him back then, was Shuide Zhenren's disciple, and the one who broke him up was none other than Shui De.
As for Tu De Zhenren, the leader of the Yunxia Sect, Gu Qingfeng had a lot of resentment against him. In order to be with Hong Xiu, he went to seek help from Tu De and knelt for several days and nights. As a result, the leader of Tu De
Didn't even look at him.
Of course, it had been so long that Gu Qingfeng didn't bother to care about it. At this moment, he heard that Master Tude had been in seclusion for a hundred years due to serious injuries, so he didn't have any reaction.
"Although the head brother has temporarily saved his life, his cultivation... has been ruined." As he said that, Huo De sighed again, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said: "My senior brother has been working hard for the Yunxia Sect all his life.
, in the end... regardless of cultivation, whether the sect can hold on is still unknown."
"Why can't the sect be able to hold on? Could it be that you brothers are having internal strife?"
"It can be said that now our Yunxia Sect is suffering from internal and external troubles. The internal problem is that brat Jin De. That brat has always been very ambitious. Since the head brother went into seclusion, Jin De began to cultivate his own power. Now half of the Yunxia Sect
Almost all of them are his."
Kinder?
Gu Qingfeng knew that, not only did he almost die in the hands of Jin De when he was working as a handyman in the Yunxia Sect, but he also knew that Jin De's city was very deep and ambitious.
"Only I know about the abolishment of senior brother's cultivation, but this matter cannot be hidden for long. Over the years, Jin De has been trying various ways to make the senior brother abdicate."
"What's wrong? Jin De wants to be the leader?"
"Our Yunxia Sect has a rule that the person who takes over the position of leader must be the disciple of the chief disciple. Unfortunately, several of the disciples of the master brother died and were injured in the catastrophe, and the ones who remained were also killed... Sigh
!It’s all my fault…”
Having said this, Master Huode shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of self-blame.
After all, Gu Qingfeng had worked as a handyman in the Yunxia Sect for several years, so he naturally knew that the so-called disciples were just like the princes in the dynasty, and would inherit the position of head in the future. Usually the disciples were selected from the direct disciples of the sect.
, if the head has no disciples, he can only be selected from the direct disciples of each elder.
"So, Jin De wants his disciple to take over as the leader?"
"Yes!" Huo De nodded and said: "That bastard Jin De is very ambitious and obsessed with profit. If his disciple becomes the leader, our Yunxia Sect will probably..."
"Then you haven't had any disciples in these years?"
"You know how this old man can teach his disciples, let alone Mu De. He always wears the same pants as Jin De."
"What about Elder Shui De? I remember that Shui De is not an ordinary person..."
Because of Hong Xiu's relationship, Gu Qingfeng had a deep resentment towards Shui De, but he had to admit that Shui De had his own way in terms of cultivation, ability and vision.
"That traitor Shuide!"
When Shui De was mentioned, Huo De was immediately furious and snorted: "Although Jin De has great ambitions, he did not betray the Yunxia Sect at least, and Shui De, that bastard, actually defected to the Jiuhua Alliance!"
"Jiuhua Alliance?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, wondering what the so-called alliance was.
"When the catastrophe happened in the world, in order to resist the demons, our Yunxia sect and several other sects united to form the Jiuhua Alliance. We agreed at the time that we would only defend ourselves against foreign enemies and not participate in sect affairs. After the catastrophe, all things would follow.
With the recovery and more and more resources, the existence of the alliance gradually changed and it began to interfere in the affairs of the sect..."
"Although the alliance didn't interfere on the surface, it has been secretly supporting that bastard Shui De. As for Shui De, he has the support of the alliance. This bastard has become very prosperous in recent years and has cultivated a lot of people.
power."
Huo De took a sip of wine and said angrily: "Ever since the head brother went into seclusion, these two bastards Jin De and Shui De have been fighting openly and secretly, peeking at the position of the leader. The entire Yunxia Sect has been brought into chaos by them. If it were
If someone from Jinde becomes the leader, our Yunxia Sect will become his personal benefit. If someone from Shuide becomes the leader, then our Yunxia Sect will no longer be the Yunxia Sect..."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng almost understood. Holding the wine glass, he joked: "What's the matter, do you want to kill them both?"
"Kill?"
Xu did not expect that Gu Qingfeng would say this. Huo De was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I think so, but the key point is that killing them both will not solve the fundamental problem... Not only will it not solve it, it will make it even more chaotic. After all, now
The entire Yunxia Sect, whether it is the Twelfth Academy or the Twenty-Fourth Gang, is in their hands. Besides... we are brothers after all... They are unkind, and I cannot be unjust..."
"You can't kill me, how can you help me?"
"This..." Huo De seemed a little hesitant, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Gu Qingfeng, smiled and said: "Gu boy, see if you can help me win back the position of the leader first."
"Snatch it back?" Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly and asked, "I'm not a disciple of your Yunxia Sect, how can I grab it?"
"That's not just a matter of my words."
"Then what."
"Then? Then when the situation stabilizes, you can do it if you want to be the leader. But I know that you will definitely not do it, so I will choose a disciple with good conduct to take over as the leader."
"That's it..."
Sitting on a chair, Gu Qingfeng crossed his legs and drank a small drink. He considered it before and after, shook his head and said: "Huo De, after all, you can be regarded as my savior. I owe you a life. If you help
You can do whatever you want, but...if it's to help the Yunxia Sect, I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."
"What!"
Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng's refusal, Huo De stood up immediately, stared and asked, "Why can't you help!"
"Why? Haha!" Gu Qingfeng poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "What did your Yunxia sect do to me back then? I was selected with excellent results, but was rejected. I begged grandpa to sue grandma before letting me go.
I worked as a handyman, and then I almost died here because I beat up an inner disciple. And Hong Xiu, how did Shui De humiliate me back then? As for your senior brother, I was in front of his door back then.
After kneeling for three days and three nights, he didn't even look at me. Now you want me to help your Yunxia sect take back the leader? Are you embarrassed?"
"It's been so long since that happened, how come you still remember it in your heart?"
"Nonsense." Gu Qingfeng snorted coldly and scolded: "I will never forget what happened in your Yunxia sect during those years. My great youth was ruined by your Yunxia sect, until
Now that I think about it, I feel very angry. Let me tell you Huode, if I hadn’t looked at your face back then, I would have wiped out your entire Yunxia sect!"
"you!"
Master Huode was furious for a moment. He pointed at Gu Qingfeng, blew his beard and glared angrily, and shouted loudly: "You boy...you boy, do you think our Yunxia sect would have been better off if you didn't take action back then? After you became famous,
Everyone knows that you worked as a handyman in our Yunxia sect, and you said that our senior brothers are blind. Our Yunxia sect was once the laughing stock of others, and we couldn't even lift our heads. From the number one sect in Qingyang territory, in just a short time
It has declined in a few years..."
Speaking of what happened back then, Master Huode was so hateful that he pointed at Gu Qingfeng and scolded him: "That's not all. Do you know that after you left, Fatty Wang and those bastards from the Chixiao Sect almost killed him several times?
We are destroyed."
"If it weren't for you, boy, would our Yunxia Sect have declined? If we hadn't declined, how could our Yunxia Sect have been bullied by so many people during the catastrophe? Would my senior brother, the leader, have been injured? What kind of alliance would we have formed with several other sects?
The reason why our Yunxia Sect is like this is all because of you!"
"Don't talk nonsense to me." Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and sneered: "That's all your own fault. It's my fault!"
