Chapter 353 Existing in name only
Moreover, in terms of years of practice, Fang Xiao has not even a fraction of his years, so his future achievements are simply inestimable.
If he wanted to avoid being suppressed by other sects after leaving the Five Elements Sect, he would have to find a strong force to rely on.
Yuan Ye now thinks that investing in Fang Xiao, a potential stock, in advance was a very visionary move.
Fang Xiao remained expressionless, and only slightly bowed his hands, "Thank you for your praise, Great Elder Yuan. It's just an empty title. I'm here at the request of the sect to discuss the invasion of our Tianlan Sect."
Although he accepted the things from the Fire Vein, he also remembered the purpose of his visit, which was naturally to discuss the issue of compensation.
"Don't worry, little friend Fang, I will notify people from other factions to come and discuss this matter later.
But there are still many inside stories that I need to explain in detail to you, so why not follow me into the mountains first?"
Yuan was quite calm about this, as if he could face it calmly no matter how much compensation he had to pay.
In fact, no matter which branch Fang Xiao goes to, he will call people from other branches to discuss the issue of compensation.
No matter which branch Fang Xiao goes to, he has already made his attitude clear to all the branches.
And subjectively, I believe in the words of this pulse to a greater extent.
Then Yuan asked the other four to contact the various clans, while Fang Xiao was the one who would receive him personally.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the main meeting hall of the Fire Vein. Yuan also wanted to take advantage of the fact that before the other veins arrived, he wanted to explain the whole story in advance and reach an agreement with Fang Xiao.
Whether it is compensation given to Tianlan Sect or benefits promised to Fang Xiao, naturally not a single hair can be less.
"Friend Fang, you should know that the Five Elements Sect was previously affiliated with the Tianlan Sect."
After the two of them sat down, they didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Well, I know this, of course. But I heard from Brother Xiong that there is another hidden reason behind Lin Qi's betrayal with the Five Elements Sect. Considering the kindness of the Fire Vein that gave me the spiritual seed, I would like to hear the details."
Fang Xiao was also very curious about the situation of the Five Elements Sect.
Yuan Ye, who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, had a look of sorrow on his face at this moment, and then he told the story.
It turned out that since only one leader was left among the five sects, each sect began to fight openly and secretly.
After a period of time, one of the branches took the lead in introducing external forces.
However, such an approach not only failed to attract the other clans to unite and confront the outside world.
Instead, they rushed to imitate it, like a gap had been opened and there was no way to stop it.
Among the five veins, the Gold Vein is backed by a holy sword-fighting land, but after the Gold Vein was destroyed, it is very likely that it has been abandoned.
The wood veins are particularly obvious. Lin Qi's maternal family is the Gongye family of Middle-earth, which is also a holy land-level force.
As for the water veins and soil veins, although they are hidden very deeply, Yuan dares to guarantee that there is also the shadow of the holy land behind them.
Especially the water vein, which often regards itself as a Kun cultivator, and its backer is most likely a Kun cultivator holy land.
The Fire Vein was the only one that did not bring in any forces.
In other words, the force that the Fire Vein has relied on has always been the Tianlan Sect, but unlike the other four veins, it did not directly become a puppet and be controlled by the forces behind it.
Hearing what Yuan Ye said, Fang Xiao also shuddered.
Such a holy place has been eroded to such a state that only an empty shell remains.
This is the disadvantage of not having a True Lord of Transformation in charge but having to preserve the holy land-level resources.
It might be able to intimidate the hyenas that are eyeing it hungrily, but even lions would be salivating over this piece of fat meat.
But having said this, Yuan Ye showed no intention of stopping.
“In fact, my Fire Vein has no intention of betraying the Tianlan Sect. After all, the Tianlan Sect is not like these forces hidden in the veins. They only think about how to undermine the Five Elements Sect and gain more benefits.
If Fang Xiaoyou goes back and investigates carefully, he will find that most of the Five Elements Sect cultivators who invaded Tianlan Sect are from my Fire Vein.
As for the water and soil veins, Lin Qi might be concerned about the forces behind them and not push them too hard, but he would not be so easy to talk to the fire vein. "
Fang Xiao thought about it carefully. If it was true as Yuan Ye said, then the position of the fire vein at that time was indeed quite embarrassing.
Lin Qi would naturally not attack people with the Wood Vein, and he also did not want to offend people with the Water and Soil Veins.
In this way, only the people of the Fire Vein can be used, and it is just right to deal with the Tianlan Sect. Therefore, Lin Qi forced Yuan Ye to lead the people of the Fire Vein to join the other two sects to attack the Tianlan Sect.
Originally, when the Tianlan Sect's protective formation was broken, Yuan was about to give up and planned to make the best of a bad situation. Even if he didn't join Lin Qi afterwards, he would find a holy land to serve.
However, they did not expect that the Tianlan Sect could actually turn the tide. Therefore, after receiving the news of Lin Qi's death and being pursued by a large number of Tianlan Sect members, they resolutely chose to retreat.
Fang Xiao kneaded his brows, thinking of Li Mobai's words that he should make his own decision, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'Grandmaster, Master really left me with a big problem.'
Even if the gods of Tianlan Sect had not known about the situation of the Five Elements Sect before, they would certainly have learned some inside information after the war.
Fang Xiao was sent here obviously to deal with the troubles of the Five Elements Sect.
"But now it seems that I have come to the right place for the Fire Vein. The Water and Earth Veins probably sent people to the sect mostly for testing, and their words cannot be trusted."
At this point, Fang Xiao also understood the relationship between them. "So Elder Yuan wants to use the Tianlan Sect to completely break away from the Five Elements Sect, which is already in tatters, even if he has to bear the stigma of splitting the sect."
"We monks never care about any bad reputation. I have the dignity to swallow the insults.
If I can just keep the true Five Elements Sect going, what does it matter if I have to bear the infamy for thousands of years?
The only thing I fear is that the Five Elements Sect will be destroyed by us, even if it is only in name only."
Hearing this, Fang Xiao also admired the Five Elements Sect's grand elder very much.
The Five Elements Sect was already a half-sunken ship. Everyone else had already jumped onto other ships, but he still hadn't given up, as if he was determined to live and die with the Five Elements Sect.
“It seems that Elder Yuan has been mentally prepared, so that will be easy.
If I were to destroy all three of these veins, I wonder if Elder Yuan would agree."
Fang Xiao asked tentatively.
"Ah? This..."
Although Yuan Ye understood that except for the Fire Vein, all other veins had been hollowed out, after all, they were from the same sect, so he still couldn't bring himself to kill them all.
And this is also the reason why he wants Tianlan Sect to help the Fire Vein escape instead of restoring order.
“I was just joking, Elder Yuan, don’t take it seriously. I will certainly not wipe out these three veins, and I will only destroy the high-level cultivators of the Wood Vein who are related to Lin Qi.
As for the low-level disciples, if there are no problems, Elder Yuan can take them back into the Fire Vein."
