After discovering this, Hou Jiarong was not as nervous and cautious as before, and he relaxed a lot. The tone and content of his speech were also much more comfortable.
Yang Chen invited him to drink, and Hou Jiarong did not refuse. The two drank happily under the service of the two maids.
During the dinner, Yang Chen did not hide his purpose. He told Hou Jiarong straightforwardly that he just wanted to know a little about what had happened in the past 600 years from his mouth. Of course, there would be a big reward. This was the benefit that Yang Chen gave him without concealing.
For Hou Jiarong, this was like a pie falling from the sky. Everyone in the spiritual world knew that Yang Chen's sixth-grade Ganoderma Lucidum Pill was the best medicine in the world. As long as he simply talked about the things that had happened in the past few years, Hou Jiarong did not know where to laugh until now.
As long as Yang Chen went to a place with cultivators, he could find out what had happened in the past few hundred years. This was not a secret. Therefore, the benefits that Yang Chen promised were free for Hou Jiarong. Why not?
A lot of things had happened in the past six hundred years. Hou Jiarong started from the major events and talked about them one by one.
From the Xuantian Sect's Lin Zongxun being killed by a Human Immortal slave, to the counterattack of the Zhao Family in various Sects, to the siege of several Sects such as Misty Mountain by the masters of the Zhao Family, to the heavy casualties of the reborn masters, and so on, Hou Jiarong said everything.
Although Hou Jiarong did not know the true identity of Lin Zongxun and that there was a Golden Immortal from the Mortal World among the reborn masters who died in Misty Mountain, these things could not be concealed, and they were all spread to the outside world.
Basically, Yang Chen knew about the previous things, and he only wanted to know what happened later. Hou Jiarong also knew that Yang Chen must be very concerned about Chunyang Palace, so he also focused on some things about Chunyang Palace.
In these years, Chunyang Palace had really taken root in the spiritual world and became a real first-class Sect. With a solid territory, hundreds of thousands of disciples, a sufficient number of experts, and the determination to die, that was enough.
However, Chunyang Palace did not have much ambition, at least not in the past few years. They had been developing in the Sunset Rock, Linyang River, and Parting Hatred Sea, never crossing the border. Even the disciples who went out to gain experience rarely caused trouble. All the Sect members had a good impression of the disciples of Chunyang Palace. No matter from which point of view, Chunyang Palace was also a thriving Sect.
Hou Jiarong's words made Yang Chen very happy. He drank a few more glasses of wine with him. Then, she listened to him talk about what had happened in each Sect.
Of course, the biggest thing that happened in the Spiritual Realm recently was the upheaval of the entire Spiritual Realm. None of the sects knew what happened, but the upheaval was too soul-stirring. In the face of the might of the world, all the cultivators felt like they were weak ants that could be crushed by the pinky of the world at any time.
Just this turmoil alone had allowed many cultivators to have a deeper understanding of cultivation. In the past few decades, many cultivators had gone into seclusion.
Although Hou Jiarong's Sect was not very outstanding, Hou Jiarong himself knew a lot of things. If Hou Jiarong had not had this kind of ability to inquire about information, he would not have been sent to investigate the cause of the turmoil in the spiritual world.
Several Super Sect's important figures seemed to have died one after another. Although Hou Jiarong did not know who had died, he knew a few of the Sect's higher-ups. All of them looked like they had lost their parents, which made people have to doubt the identity of those big shots.
Yang Chen had an answer in his heart. The big shots who died must be the Golden Immortal experts in the mortal world. Otherwise, the death of one or two Xuan Immortal experts in the Sect would not be enough to move the big shots in the Sect.
The death of the Golden Immortal experts also meant that the Zhao Family must have exerted its strength in the Demon Realm. He just did not know how long the Great All-Embracing Golden Immortal Zhou Sheng could last in the spiritual world, and what kind of backup plans the major Sect had.
Perhaps the relationship between Chunyang Palace and the Xuantian Sect was already very bad on the surface, so after Hou Jiarong talked about some major events, he suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously and began to talk about some things related to the Xuantian Sect.
The Xuantian Sect had become more and more unpopular in the past few years. No one knew what Sect Master Li was doing, but he had been in seclusion. Under the indiscriminate command of the acting Sect Master Wu, the Xuantian Sect had completely lost its prestige as the number one Dao Sect in the past.
Yes, even Hou Jiarong, an ordinary cultivator of the Sect, bluntly said in front of Yang Chen that Sect Master Wu was commanding indiscriminately.
Perhaps it was a series of mistakes that made the foundation of Sect Master Wu's control of the Xuantian Sect more and more unstable. Under the premise that he was anxious to become the nominal leader of the Sect, Sect Master Wu carried out a very cruel purge of the Xuantian Sect. It was rare in the entire history of the Xuantian Sect. The scale of the purge was huge, and the scope was wide.
Hou Jiarong, an outsider, had already seen it clearly. This was a struggle for power within the Sect to eradicate dissidents. It had nothing to do with dealing with the Zhao Family. Coincidentally, the knife that Sect Master Wu chose to purge the disciples of the Sect happened to be Chunyang Palace. He sent at least a dozen groups of conspirators who were related to the attack on Chunyang Palace that year.
"Master, some words may be too deep for a shallow acquaintance." Hou Jiarong was in high spirits. He didn't care that he had just met Yang Chen and said bluntly, "Chunyang Palace has killed many experts of the Xuantian Sect over the years. In the future, if Sect Master Li of the Xuantian Sect comes back again, I'm afraid that Chunyang Palace will face a disaster."
"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Hou." Yang Chen smiled and thanked him. What he wanted to know more was how far Sect Master Wu had gone and how confident he was in taking over the Xuantian Sect.
Speaking of which, Sect Master Wu was really righteous when it came to fighting against the Zhao Family. However, he always rushed to be the first, and he did find and kill many spies of the Zhao Family. However, it was also because of this that he was increasingly not favored in the eyes of the Sect. This guy's habit of eating alone was too heavy. His style was overbearing, and he relied on the righteousness of fighting against the Zhao Family to point fingers at the major Sect. He simply didn't put the other Sect in his eyes.
From the big and small things that Hou Jiarong knew, Yang Chen had already sorted out a clear clue. It seemed that Yang Lan did a very good job. Even Hou Jiarong, an ordinary disciple of the Sect, felt that the Xuantian Sect was a bit too much, so the major Sect must be full of complaints. However, because there was no result on Zhou Sheng's side, it was not good to turn hostile all of a sudden. If something happened to Zhou Sheng, he was afraid that after the Zhao Family was destroyed, the first thing that the major Sect would deal with would be the Xuantian Sect.
"Master, I wonder what the results of your retreat over the years are?" After excitedly telling Yang Chen what he knew, Hou Jiarong seemed to ask casually and asked Yang Chen.
