After a moment of silence, the old man opened his mouth and spoke.
“This old man’s name is Chen Que, and I was originally an Elder of the Xuanlei Sect in the Upper Domain three hundred years ago. Since I supported the founder’s descendant and holy son, Sun Sheng, in the succession of the master of the sect, I offended Wu Jue, the sect master’s head disciple.
“In the struggle between the two sides, the Holy Son’s lineage was defeated, and most of his supporters were killed. This old man escaped by chance, but his disciples and family members were implicated and killed by Wu Jue. As for this old man, after multiple pursuits and realizing there is no longer a chance to escape from being hunted down, this old man was forced to use a forbidden technique and chose to die with his pursuer…”
Hearing this, Feng Shao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, this old man turned out to be an Elder from the previous generation of Xuanlei Sect.
The Xuanlei Sect is a first-class sect in the Upper Domain. Although it is not as good as the three major Sacred Lands in Dongzhou, it is many times stronger than the Taiwei Sect.
Compared with Yunjian Pavilion, it is only a step behind.
As a first-class sect, the background of the Xuanlei Sect is also extraordinary. Among them, the most famous one is the so-called holy land of the Xuanlei Sect, which is also one of the ten forbidden lands in the eyes of the world, the Blessed Land of Thunder.
It was rumored that the founder of the Xuanlei Sect understood the Innate Lightning Technique from the Blessed Land of Thunder and created the Xuanlei Sect with the technique as a foundation.
As the name suggests, the Xuanlei Sect is good at controlling and resisting lightning. When its cultivation technique is operated, it would faintly emit the sound of wind and thunder.During battles, one can even summon and use the power of the Nine Heavens Profound Lightning to severely injure your opponent.
However, because the Xuanlei Sect is located in Beizhou, there is not much overlap between Feng Shao and the Xuanlei Sect who was located in Dongzhou.
However, he had heard that the relationship between the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect in Beizhou was not very good.
As for the reason, it can be traced back to the period when the Wind Emperor and Thunder Emperor were active.
It was said that both Ji Wuya, the Wind Emperor of Tiangang Sword Sect, and Fan Zhongqian, the Thunder Emperor of Xuanlei Sect, fell in love with Mo Wei, the Water Fairy of Ziqing Sacred Land.
In the end, the Water Fairy Mo Wei chose the Wind Emperor Ji Wuya.
But Mo Wei’s senior sister, Yang Hui, obstructed her because she had already promised her to the Thunder Emperor Fan Zhongqian.
After that, the Wind Emperor Ji Wuya made a big fuss at the supposed wedding, beheading dozens of masters from the Xuanlei Sect and Ziqing Sacred Land, causing great chaos in Beizhou.
The greatest tragedy was that Mo Wei was accidentally killed by Fan Zhongqian in the chaos of the battle, which made Ji Wuya go crazy, and eventually led to him dying together with Fan Zhongqian.
As a result, a great rift arose between the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect.
Many years later, Su Zhenyan, a disciple of the Wind Emperor Ji Wuya, was born into the world and had conflicts with Xuanlei Sect again.
The Xuanlei Sect, who hated Ji Wuya, directed their hatred at Su Zhenyan and attempted to kill her, which greatly angered the entire Tiangang Sword Sect.
As a result, the two sides have been engaged in open and secret struggles for many years, and the entire Beizhou was once again thrown into chaos.
Later, Su Zhenyan entered the Sansheng Pagoda and sacrificed herself to awaken the reincarnated Mo Wei.
Afterward, Mo Wei, carrying the Sea Essence Ice Silk, returned to Ziqing Sacred Land to fight her former senior sister, Yang Hui, who now possessed the Jade Lotus Blade.
In that battle, Yang Hui lost and was killed, while the Water Fairy Mo Wei won the position of Holy Lord of Ziqing Sacred Land.
Later, under Mo Wei’s mediation, the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect finally resolved their conflict. However, the relationship between the two sects will never be as close as before.
After this dispute, the Tiangang Sword Sect mysteriously quickly regained its vitality, but the Xuanlei Sect never returned to its heyday.
The strength gap between the two sides continuously became bigger and bigger, and in the end, the Xuanlei Sect gradually fell from its original position as a top-class sect to today’s level as a quasi-first-class sect.
But as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
No matter how much the Xuanlei Sect declined, its background was not something that could be comparable to that of a second-rate sect like the Taiwei Sect.
To be able to become an Elder of the Xuanlei Sect one who was at the level of participating in the battle of succession between the head disciple and the holy son, shows the ability of the old man Chen Que himself.
As expected of a son of fortune’s gold finger!
Thinking of this, Feng Shao asked with a smile, “I don’t know, senior, if you would be willing to change your affiliation?”
