Chapter 1998: The Internal Struggle of Xiaoyaomen
The Immortal Talisman Sect, the Recluse Palace had already challenged the Xiaoyao Sect last year, and they made a comeback this year, and this Xuandao Sect, surprisingly, only joined this year.
Xiao Yu once heard that this Xuan Dao sect is said to be ranked first among the second-rate forces.
But Qi is strange in one place, that is Xuandao Sect, and has never challenged any sect.
This is also where Xiao Yu has always had doubts. Since the Xuandao Sect is so strong and has never challenged the Seven Sects, why can it be said that it can be ranked first among the second-rate Sects?
Before he went back to Xiaoyaomen, he was busy practicing, so he had no time to care about these external affairs.
In addition to the fact that the elders of the sect did not say anything, Xiao Yu knew almost nothing about these foreign affairs over time.
Now, they actually say that the decline of Xiaoyaomen has something to do with this Xuandaomen?
The tall and thin elder sighed and said: "It's no wonder that no one told you about this matter after you have been in the sect for a year, because this matter is a disgrace to you Xiaoyaomen."
Immediately afterwards, Han Yinan told what Xiao Yu had wanted to know for a year, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the heavier his heart became.
It turned out that the head of the Xuandao Sect was the Great Elder under the Xiaoyao Sect 20 or 30 years ago.
That Great Elder is of course not the current Elder Jiang. Strictly speaking, that Great Elder is a fellow apprentice of the previous Xiaoyao Sect Master.
About a few decades ago, Xiaoyaomen had not declined. At that time, Xiaoyaomen had two talented and powerful experts. The assassins were the two geniuses known as Xiaoyaomen, and they even surpassed those in the sect world at that time. All the younger generation's peers, one of them is called Yi Shuyun, and the other is called Hou Chunyang.
Back then, the suzerain of Xiaoyaomen was about to resign to the west, so Yi Shuyun and Hou Chunyang naturally became candidates for the suzerain. After a fierce battle between the two, Yi Shuyun finally won the position of suzerain of Xiaoyaomen.
Now that he has obtained the position of suzerain, he naturally has the inheritance of Xiaoyaomen for thousands of years. Since then, Yi Shuyun's cultivation has naturally improved by leaps and bounds.
Hou Chunyang was defeated and could only inherit the position of Great Elder.
The gap between the two was soon manifested. As time went by, Hou Chunyang was still brooding over the battles of that year, and fought against Yi Shuyun as the suzerain everywhere in the sect.
Yi Shuyun likes to be quiet, introverted, aloof from the world, adhering to Xiaoyaomen's consistent low-key and gentle style of doing things.
But Hou Chunyang is different. Hou Chunyang believes that Xiaoyaomen has the right time, place and people. It should not move forward slowly, but should become stronger. Therefore, it should absorb more disciples and set up a number of fierce competition rules within the sect.
Then two camps, the hawks and the doves, were formed, one of which was naturally led by Hou Chunyang, and the other was led by Yi Shuyun.
You need to know that Xiaoyaomen has always been adhering to a kind of low-key and introverted, a kind of aloofness from the world, which also coincides with the characteristics of Xiaoyao Fu's exercise.
Calm and quiet, vast and without waves, all the people in Xiaoyaomen will have a refined and quiet atmosphere.
Because Xiaoyao Fu pays attention to talent and comprehension of Tao, and does not advocate killing or fighting to improve cultivation.
But you have to know that in Xiaoyaomen's thousand-year-old sect, there are many natural moderates. Hou Chunyang's radical ideas once made the sect's internal conflicts intensify, and even disciples killed each other.
This is not what the mild-mannered Yi Shuyun wants to see.
If a sect can't even reconcile internal struggles, how can it survive?
After repeated persuasion, Hou Chunyang still did not change his original intention. Finally, in desperation, Yi Shuyun could only follow the elders' vote and proposed to kick Hou Chunyang out of the sect.
A huge sect is like a small kingdom. To rule a kingdom, in addition to a shrewd monarch, there must be a group of monarchs who support the monarch.
If the monarch and ministers are unfaithful, how can they stay by their side?
In time, wouldn't it cause chaos in the country? Did it eventually develop into a betrayal?
Because the situation of Xiaoyaomen at that time had seriously affected the cultivation of all disciples, and even other external forces, the sect, had long been eyeing them.
The only way is to kick Hou Chunyang out.
However, according to the rules of the ancestors of the seven sects, anyone who kicks out the sect must abolish his cultivation, because if it is not a person who is in danger to the sect, he will not be kicked out of the sect.
If kicked out of the sect, it would be irreconcilable, but Yi Shuyun made an unprecedented decision...
