Half an hour later, at the Volcanic Mountain Gate.
The relationship between the Four Great Empires and the Fifteen Sects was simple. Although the Four Great Empires were the symbol of the highest power in the eyes of the people of the Eight Ancient Continents, it wasn't the same in the eyes of the Fifteen Sects and Sixteen Sects. Every year, the four great empires had to offer a large amount of money and resources to the fifteen sects and sixteen clans. Once the people from the fifteen sects and sixteen clans entered the four great empires, they would be able to show off their power. Even the most ordinary disciples had a much higher status than those high-ranking officials and nobles.
In other words, although the existence of the 15 sects and 16 schools to the Four Great Empires was equivalent to the existence of the Holy Land in an ordinary country, their actual status was much higher. The Emperors of the Four Great Empires might have the same status as the Elders of the various sects, but in front of the Sect Leader, they could only bow and bend their knees.
Among the fifteen sects and sixteen schools, there were a total of eight sects that corresponded to the Southern Cloud Empire. Among them, there were four sects and four schools, and the Fire Mountain Sect was one of them. However, the relationship between the Fire Mountain Sect and the Southern Cloud Empire was much closer and better. This was not because of the Emperor, because five years ago, the relationship between the Fire Mountain Sect and the Southern Cloud Empire was just ordinary.
The real reason was Princess Yan Yi.
Five years ago, the son of the Fire Mountain Sect's Sect Leader, that is, the Young Master of the Fire Mountain Sect, Xu Wei, immediately fell in love with Princess Yan Yi when he first met her. Because of this relationship, the Fire Mountain Sect and the Southern Cloud Empire became close. As a princess of a country, Yan Yi's status was not too bad compared to Xu Wei's. They could barely be regarded as a match, but because of Yan Yi's illness, the head of the sect had not allowed his son to have a deeper contact with Yan Yi, so as to avoid falling deeper and deeper. However, after Princess Yan Yi recovered from her illness, the Sect Master no longer spoiled her. Xu Wei would always go to the Southern Cloud Imperial Palace to play with Princess Yan Yi. Princess Yan Yi knew that the other party's status was honorable, so she didn't say anything. However, she also didn't have much physical contact with him.
Four years ago, although Xu Wei was still young, he had officially become the young master of the Fire Mountain Sect. Young Master was not only a title, but also a symbol of power and status. It meant that he really came into contact with the core affairs of the Volcanic Mountain Sect and knew many things that others did not know.
In the view of Princess Yan Yi, the ordinary elders of the Fire Mountain Sect do not know things, Xu Wei must know. If even Xu Wei didn't know, then Lin Xiaoliu must be mentally ill and was lying to him.
Yan Yi Princess brought two guards to the Fire Mountain Gate. In fact, the two guards also felt a little uneasy. They always felt that because of Lin Xiaoliu's matter, they came here again and again to disturb them was not good, but the Princess insisted on coming, so they couldn't say anything. On the contrary, after Xu Wei learned that Princess Yan Yi had personally come to visit, he was extremely happy. He immediately went out to greet her, and led her to his courtyard.
In the garden, two people walked side by side. The others were sent away. This was according to the princess's wishes, and Xu Wei couldn't ask for more.
"Little sister Yan Yi, how come you have time to visit me today?" Xu Wei was in a good mood and said with a smile, "This is the first time that Little Sister Yan Yi has taken the initiative to look for me. I'll remember this day!"
Princess Yan Yi smiled and didn't immediately ask any questions. Instead, she walked with Xu Wei for a while and chatted for a while. Finally, they stopped at a pavilion above a pond.
The two of them didn't sit down, but stood by the pavilion and looked at the fish in the pond. Xu Wei opened his arms and took a deep breath, then turned to Yan Yi and said, "If Little Sister Yan Yi can accompany me like this every day, even if you want me to become an immortal, I won't do it."
Yan Yi smiled and said, "The sects are the supreme forces of the mainland, there is no difference between them and immortals. It seems that immortals also have times when their desires are not satisfied. "
"… …"
Xu Wei's body trembled slightly when he heard this. He turned to look at his daughter in the pond. He was originally in a good mood, but now his face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything.
Looking at Xu Wei's appearance, Yan Yi was startled. Xu Wei's face had never shown such an expression before. Did she just say something wrong?
Yan Yi thought for a moment. Although she was curious about this, but the purpose of this trip was not this matter. She had to make Xu Wei happy, so that he would tell her the answer she wanted to ask.
However, just as Yan Yi was thinking, Xu Wei opened his mouth again. He looked at Yan Yi and said, "Little sister Yan Yi came to me today, there should be something I can help you with, right?"
Yan Yi was startled. She looked at Xu Wei with some hesitation. She didn't expect Xu Wei to see through her.
"Little sister Yan Yi, you don't have to be so polite." Xu Wei smiled and said, "In the future, if little sister Yan Yi wants to find me for something, just say it. I, Xu Wei, am not a stingy person. I will not get angry."
Looking at Xu Wei's appearance, Yan Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "I want to ask you, is there anyone in the sect who is wanted?"
"Wanted?" Xu Wei was surprised. He thought that Yan Yi wanted to find him for something, but he didn't expect that she would ask such a question. He was also curious and said, "Every sect has their own wanted people. What's the matter?"
Xu Wei's words were not false. Every sect had a traitor. There were also people who violated the rules and wanted to catch them. There were many of these people. The scope of this question was too big.
"Is there any particularly important person who is wanted by the sect?" Princess Yan Yi asked, "Is it the kind of person who has to be caught?"
"Won't give up?" Xu Wei frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "At least our Fire Mountain Sect doesn't have such a person. As for the other sects, I don't know much about them. If it is really someone who has to be killed, then they should know the secret of the sect or have stolen the most important Heaven Technique. This kind of news cannot be leaked out to other sects. "
"So it's like this …" Princess Yan Yi was silent when she heard this.
Xu Wei looked at Yan Yi's appearance and couldn't help but have some doubts. He asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Princess Yan Yi did not answer, but kept thinking. At this time, she thought of a situation that was even more impossible than before, but she could only try as a last resort. She asked, "Is there anyone who would be wanted by many sects, or even by all the sects? Does such a person exist?"
Wanted by all the sects?
Xu Wei was surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, "Little sister Yan Yi, you think too much. The sects are independent. Why would they care about each other's affairs? At most, there would be some connections between the eight sects of the same empire, but there would never be such a thing, unless … "
Xu Wei's words suddenly came to a halt.
Yan Yi's body shook, and quickly asked, "Unless what?"
Xu Wei's eyes showed a touch of shock. He looked at Yan Yi with a puzzled look, but felt that things could not be so coincidental. How could Yan Yi be related to that person?
"Unless what? Hurry up and say it!" Yan Yi urged. Looking at Yan Yi's anxious look, Xu Wei hesitated. He liked Yan Yi very much, but he did not know if he should say this kind of thing.
Xu Wei took a deep breath, looked at Yan Yi and said, "Little sister Yan Yi, not everything in this world can be understood. There are some things that even your father does not know, and I can't tell you. "
Princess Yan Yi was surprised, and her heart was shocked. Sure enough, there was something that her status could not reach.
"Just a little bit!" Yan Yi looked anxious. She even raised her hand to grab Xu Wei's wrist and said, "Just a little bit, I promise not to tell anyone, even my father absolutely will not say a word, okay?"
Looking at Yan Yi, Xu Wei's mentality was somewhat shaken. He really struggled in his heart for a long time, but under Yan Yi's repeated pleading, he finally could not bear it. He helplessly took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not something that you can know. Even I am qualified to know after becoming the young master. Promise me that you will not tell anyone else, and also do not spread this news, otherwise you are likely to attract a fatal disaster. At that time, even I can't protect you! "
Hearing Xu Wei's dignified tone, Yan Yi's heart was shocked. Even the Fire Mountain Sect can't protect her, what kind of power is this?
Xu Wei took a deep breath and finally said, "In fact, above the fifteen sects and sixteen schools, there are eight powerful forces. I can't tell you the specific names, you only need to know that any one of these eight families can easily wipe out the entire fifteen sects and sixteen schools. "
Yan Yi's body shook, she looked at Xu Wei in disbelief, she could not believe what he said!
Easily wipe out the fifteen sects and sixteen schools? Any one of the eight families?!
How is this possible?!
The fifteen sects and sixteen schools all have ninth level masters, what kind of strength can be so strong?!
"Unbelievable isn't it?" Xu Wei looked at Yan Yi who was stunned, smiled bitterly and said, "When I became the young master and learned of this matter, I was as shocked as you, even full of doubts. But when I truly witnessed the power of the eight families, I knew that this statement was not exaggerated at all. "
"… …"
Princess Yan Yi's expression was completely lifeless, her eyes blankly looking at Xu Wei. This news was too much of a shock to her. If even the fifteen sects and sixteen schools were like this, then what about the four great empires?
Frogs at the bottom of a well?
"Didn't you just ask if there is a person wanted by all the sects?" Xu Wei looked at Yan Yi, said in a deep voice, "There is indeed such a person. In fact, he is not wanted by us, but by the eight families. The eight families ordered us to also search for this person. "
Saying this, Xu Wei stared into Princess Yan Yi's eyes and said, "This person is called – Lu An!"
