Chapter 2054: Heading to the Third Peak
Qin Cheng and Zhang Lingxiu both stood up and followed them to fly away from the fourth peak.
Although the descendants of the old sect master are also disciples of the inner sect, they are not on the fourth peak, but on the third peak next door.
The third peak is even more heavily guarded. Unless led by an elder like Jingchen, ordinary disciples of the inner sect cannot enter it through normal means.
These two mountain peaks both accommodate people from the inner sect, but they are different.
The fourth peak accommodates most of the inner sect disciples. Although there is also a luxurious mansion where Qin Cheng lives, it is not considered top-notch among the inner sect.
On the contrary, there are less than twenty disciples living in the third peak, and each of them lives in the real palace.
The cultivation level of these people all exceeds the sixth level of the Fusion Realm. The reason why they are disciples is because their qualifications are not yet enough to convince the public. Once they accumulate enough sect meritorious service, they can be directly promoted to sect elders.
However, compared to the status and treatment of the sect, it is actually similar to that of future elders.
This is where the real elite of the inner sect lies.
However, the reason why the descendants of the old sect master live here is not because of their talent or cultivation.
During the flight, Zhang Lingxiu and her master, Elder Lin, were talking in low voices, while Qin Cheng and Jingchen were flying on the other side.
Qin Cheng was also a little curious about this, so Jingchen introduced the situation of the descendants of the Tang Sect Master while flying.
"When the old sect leader, my master, died, Huo Chong claimed that it was a mysterious person who took action and destroyed the master with a shocking sword light. Even he almost died. But the strange thing is that after that, the senior sister
Crazy. Our lineage is a bit chaotic, and Huo Chong took out the so-called suicide note left by his master, cooperated with other elders to attack, and took away the position of the leader of the Jihuo Sect."
"Since then, the descendants of the old sect master have been arranged to be protected on the third peak."
Jingchen said and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"But it's protection, but in my opinion it's just house arrest. The death of the old sect leader is probably inseparable from Huo Chong. He had a guilty conscience and was worried that the descendants of the Huo family would cause chaos, so he used this as an excuse to ban Master's family."
"Then why didn't Huo Chong just kill him?" Qin Cheng said.
I have seen the cruelty of Huo Chong outside the polar regions. In the past few hundred years, he has not attacked the descendants of the old sect leader's bloodline.
"He dares!" Jingchen snorted.
"The senior brother has a weak character, and the other elders all have their own opinions, so Huo Chong uses the name of protection to control the master's descendants, but after all, it is still about protection, and there is never a shortage of various sect resources.
, we can’t say anything.”
"But if Huo Chong wants to do something evil, our lineage is not dead yet. He ascended to the throne of the sect leader by relying on the so-called master's last words, and ended up taking action against the sect leader's descendants. Then his previous lies will be self-defeating.
, he won’t even be able to be the leader of the sect at the end of the day.”
"Moreover, the senior sister who can threaten his position has gone crazy, and the senior brother has a temperament that neither fights nor grabs. The master's descendants are only at the peak of the Fusion Realm, so they cannot threaten his position as the leader of the sect. On the surface, he
After all, he is the master’s disciple, and even if he kills his master and destroys his clan, Huo Chong can’t control the Jihuo Sect.”
Qin Cheng nodded.
At the end of the day, it's all a matter of pros and cons.
Although Huo Chong has the so-called last words of the old sect leader, but he has not obtained the sacred fire seal from the master of the Jihuo sect, so he cannot be justified.
No wonder the Shadowless Demon Sect said that Huo Chong would be removed, but Huo Chong was willing to give up his position.
I'm afraid that Huo Chong's ability to become the sect leader back then had some shadow of the Shadowless Demon Sect behind him.
"It's a pity that our lineage has been wasted for hundreds of years. We have neither found Master's lost token, the Divine Fire Seal, nor rescued Senior Sister. Otherwise, we would not have been oppressed by the Huo Chong lineage."
Speaking of this, Jingchen was obviously a little worried and couldn't help but say a few words about Qin Cheng.
"Listen to what you said before, if someone gets the Divine Fire Seal, they can become the leader of the Extreme Fire Sect. Isn't this kind of rule a bit childish?" Qin Cheng asked curiously.
"It's not that simple to let the Divine Fire Seal recognize its owner. Even our Jihuo Sect has several generations of sect leaders who cannot sacrifice the Divine Fire Seal. However, I am not qualified to study this thing, and I don't know what the method of sacrifice is, but it is very easy.
It is difficult. But once the sacrifice is successful, it will also have great power for the monks who have cultivated to the fire." Jingchen said.
The conversation between the two was naturally conducted behind Elder Lin and Zhang Lingxiu's back.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be told to outsiders.
When he arrived at the third peak, showed his various tokens and went up the mountain along the stone steps, Jingchen felt that what he had said before was off topic, so he brought the topic back.
"The person I want to take you to see is the granddaughter of the master and the descendant of his closest bloodline. The master once had two children. In addition to the master's aunt, there is also a son. However, the senior brother passed away decades ago.
