That kid was actually a girl?
Where was this?
Looking at the unfamiliar place in front of him, Qin Shaofeng was shocked.
It wasn't because this place was too spectacular, but because it was just a cave.
Moreover, this wasn't a cultivation cave like the one in the Thousand Mountains Sect. It was just an ordinary cave.
Apart from a simple stone table and two stone chairs, there was nothing else.
Qin Shaofeng found it hard to imagine that a powerhouse, whom even the Sect Leader and Vice Leader of the Thousand Mountains Sect had to treat with respect, would actually live in a place like this.
This didn't match the old man's status at all.
Xie Zijun, on the other hand, didn't find it strange anymore. His face was calm, and even before the old man said anything, he automatically left the cave and stood outside. Obviously, Xie Zijun could tell that his Grandmaster had something to say to Qin Shaofeng.
After Xie Zijun left, the old man glanced at Qin Shaofeng and smiled, but didn't say anything.
At this moment, this unknown powerhouse no longer had that terrifying purple lightning on his body. He seemed to be a very ordinary old man with a very amiable smile.
However, Qin Shaofeng didn't see it that way, because he knew that this old man in front of him was an extremely terrifying powerhouse.
Although he was very confused about the old man's actions, Qin Shaofeng didn't ask.
However, the old man seemed to have seen through Qin Shaofeng's doubts. He smiled faintly and said, "Are you very confused now?"
"Yes!" Qin Shaofeng nodded and didn't say anything. He just looked at the old man in confusion.
"Sigh!"
However, the old man didn't help Qin Shaofeng solve the puzzlement in his heart. Instead, he sighed and started to talk to himself.
"Kid, you know, our Thousand Mountains Sect has a history of more than 1900 years. It's almost 2000 years!"
This time, it was Qin Shaofeng's turn to be speechless.
I don't care about this, so why are you nagging me about this?
However, Qin Shaofeng didn't speak. He just listened quietly.
"In the span of two thousand years, the small Thousand Mountain Sect has grown into the colossus it is today. During this period of time, the ancestors of the Thousand Mountain Sect have gone through a lot of hardships!"
The old man sighed with emotion. But when he said that, his tone suddenly changed and became a little helpless and sad.
"However, the Thousand Mountain Sect is now embroiled in internal strife. The entire Thousand Mountain Sect has been divided into three factions. This has caused the glory days of the Great Ancestor hundreds of years ago to cease to exist. Now, the Thousand Mountain Sect can only barely be ranked in the top three among the Three Schools and Seven Sects. Under such circumstances, I'm afraid the Thousand Mountain Sect only has one path left, and that is to gradually lose!"
Qin Shaofeng more or less understood the old man's words.
Although Qin Shaofeng was not very clear about the internal strife within the Thousand Mountain Sect, Qin Shaofeng knew that there were three major factions within the Thousand Mountain Sect.
The Five Deity Peak, the Divine Sword Peak, and the Thunder God Peak!
These were the three most powerful peaks of the Thousand Mountain Sect. Each of them was ten thousand meters high. All the disciples of the Thousand Mountain Sect seemed to be under these three peaks. Even if they didn't directly join them, there were countless people who joined them indirectly.
Qin Shaofeng didn't know before, but after meeting the two sect leaders of the Thousand Mountain Sect, Xiang Wanshan and Xu Feiyang, Qin Shaofeng knew.
The Five Deity Peak was the main peak of the Thousand Mountain Sect. It was also called the Sect Leader's Peak!
The reason why it was called the Five Deity Peak was that it accepted people who had Spiritual Roots of any of the Five Elements.
Those who could really join the Five Deity Peak and cultivate there were geniuses who had at least three Spiritual Roots of the Five Elements, or even all five Spiritual Roots of the Five Elements.
As for the Divine Sword Peak, there were no requirements for Spiritual Roots, but there was an absolute requirement for Sword Principle.
The Peak Master of the Divine Sword Peak was one of the top experts of the Thousand Mountain Sect, Sword Sovereign Feiyang!
Originally, Qin Shaofeng didn't know who Sword Sovereign Feiyang was. However, after meeting Xu Feiyang, Qin Shaofeng knew that the so-called Sword Sovereign Feiyang was referring to Xu Feiyang.
As for the Thunder God Peak's Peak Master, Qin Shaofeng subconsciously glanced at him. He already had a guess in his heart.
When the old man saw Qin Shaofeng looking down at him, a trace of understanding appeared in his eyes. He laughed loudly and said, "It looks like you understand now. That's right, this old man, Lei Shi, is the Peak Master of the Lightning God Peak. I am the leader of the neutral faction!
Leader?
Qin Shaofeng wanted to ridicule Elder Lei when he heard him call him that. However, considering the strength of the other party, Qin Shaofeng finally restrained himself.
However, it was also because of this that Qin Shaofeng was even more puzzled at this moment.
Although Qin Shaofeng didn't open his mouth to ask, the meaning in his eyes was noticed by Elder Lei.
Elder Lei smiled faintly and said, "Kid, are you trying to say that since I have such strength, why don't I stop the internal strife in the Thousand Mountain Sect and let the Thousand Mountain Sect be completely unified?"
Qin Shaofeng still didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes said that.
However, this made Elder Lei even more helpless.
"Sigh!"
Elder Lei sighed again and said with a complicated expression, "It's not that I don't want to, but … sigh!"
Elder Lei sighed again and didn't say anything else. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "You might not know that before that Ancestor appeared, the Thousand Mountain Sect wasn't divided into factions."
Eh?
There's such a thing?
Qin Shaofeng was shocked. Then, he suddenly thought of something.
Qin Shaofeng naturally knew that the Ancestor that Elder Lei was talking about was definitely that unbelievably powerful person. He was the strongest person in the history of the Thousand Mountain Sect.
Qin Shaofeng more or less knew about this Ancestor because he understood the situation in the Secret Realm of Yuan.
For example, that Ancestor was born with a Spiritual Root that gathered the five elements. In addition, he also had a powerful Thunder Spiritual Root.
Moreover, his talent in the Sword Principle seemed to be the most outstanding person in the history of the Thousand Mountain Sect!
However, that Ancestor only had one son, but he took in two disciples.
That Ancestor was a member of the Thousand Mountain Sect's Sect Master's bloodline. He was also the Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect hundreds of years ago. His son was naturally the Young Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect.
As for his two disciples, they seemed to be very extraordinary. One had a powerful Thunder Spiritual Root, and the other was a genius in the Sword Principle.
From that era onwards, other than the Sect Master's Peak, there were also the Thunder God Peak and the Divine Sword Peak!
At this moment, Qin Shaofeng completely understood.
As the saying went, success depended on the wind and clouds, and failure depended on the wind and clouds.
Because of that Ancestor, the Thousand Mountain Sect had completely risen and reached a height that it had never reached before.
However, it was also because of that Ancestor that the Thousand Mountain Sect was now divided into three parts.
Perhaps that Ancestor's son and his two disciples did not have the intention to compete with each other.
However, as time passed, people's hearts would always change!
The older generation passed, generation after generation. After the new generation was born, they did not know the situation of the older generation or the relationship between them at all.
At the beginning, it was fine. However, as time passed, there would definitely be more and more conflicts.
If there were more conflicts, and one or two ambitious people were born, would the Thousand Mountain Sect still have peaceful days?
Unfortunately, all of this broke out in this era.
Perhaps everyone knew about Xu Feiyang's ambition.
Moreover, in Qin Shaofeng's opinion, Xiang Wanshan was definitely not a good person. He definitely had the ambition to unify the Thousand Mountain Sect.
After all, as the Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect, he could only manage one-third of the people, or perhaps even more.
Even so, Xiang Wanshan was probably very unhappy in his heart.
However …
What did this have to do with him?
Qin Shaofeng did not understand why Elder Lei was telling him this.
Could it be?
Suddenly, Qin Shaofeng remembered that he seemed to have cleared the Yuan Realm!
Thinking of this, Qin Shaofeng's expression became a little unnatural. He said to Elder Lei, "Elder Lei, why are you telling me this? It's useless for you to tell me these things! "
However, as soon as Qin Shaofeng said this, Elder Lei stared at him with shining eyes. His eyes burst out with a gaze that made Qin Shaofeng very uncomfortable.
When he saw that Qin Shaofeng was very uncomfortable, Elder Lei said, "Why should I tell you? In fact, the reason is very simple. That is, I see hope in you. A hope to restore the Thousand Mountain Sect and make it rise again! "
I circled a cross. Don't flatter me like this!
Qin Shaofeng was about to cry!
What is this called!
I just completed a mission. What does it have to do with the unification of the Thousand Mountain Sect?
Such an important mission is not something a small fry like me can do!
Qin Shaofeng was conflicted. Then, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly said to Elder Lei, "Elder Lei, you think too highly of me. Besides, I'm not a member of the Thousand Mountain Sect's Sect Master. If I remember correctly, the Thousand Mountain Sect's Sect Master seems to be from the Xiang family!"
Indeed, in the nearly 2,000 years of the Thousand Mountain Sect's existence, the position of Sect Master had always been held by the Xiang family.
Moreover, the Xiang family seemed to have inherited the power of the White Tiger. Although not every generation could give birth to a monster with the spirit of the White Tiger, the people born in the Xiang family all had good Spiritual Roots and excellent cultivation talent.
According to Little Ball, it was impossible to give birth to a Holy Grade Spiritual Root. However, under normal circumstances, they would give birth to a powerful Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, or even a special powerful Spiritual Root that was close to the Holy Grade.
And in this generation, there was Xiang Qianyang, a monster with the spirit of the White Tiger. Qin Shaofeng did not think that he could become the Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect under such circumstances. Even if he had the support of Elder Lei, the peak master of the Thunder God Peak, it was still impossible.
If he could not become the Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect, how could he talk about unifying the Thousand Mountain Sect?
But this time, Elder Lei did not care. He smiled strangely and said to Qin Shaofeng, "This is easy! As long as you become a member of the Xiang family, there will be no problem, right? "
Become a member of the Xiang family?
Say that he was Xiang Wanshan's illegitimate son?
That was absolutely impossible!
Firstly, this situation would not work at all. Secondly, even if it worked, Qin Shaofeng would not be willing.
Although this did not count as acknowledging a thief as his father, Qin Shaofeng absolutely could not accept having an additional laborer for no reason.
Then there was only one way left.
This method was actually very common, and that was a marriage alliance.
As long as Qin Shaofeng married into the Xiang family, everything would be fine.
But now there was another problem. If Qin Shaofeng remembered correctly, Xiang Wanshan, the current Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect, seemed to have only one son, Xiang Qianyang.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaofeng was even more confused.
He did not know where the old man in front of him got his confidence from, so he asked, "Elder Lei, don't tell me that our Sect Master still has an illegitimate daughter outside?"
In Qin Shaofeng's opinion, the previous situation could only be explained.
However, Elder Lei's next sentence shook him to his core.
"That guy doesn't have an illegitimate daughter. Forget it, I'll tell you directly. The Xiang Qianyang you see is actually a little girl!"
