Chapter 203 Faction Struggle

"Yes, it's just me. What are you doing here?" Liang Yan asked lightly.

"Haha, of course I have something great to tell Junior Brother Liang!" The Taoist priest in green said with a slight smile.

"Oh? Please speak clearly!"

"Senior Brother Jin heard about Junior Brother Liang in the Sword-making Pavilion, and thought that you were very courageous and a person. So I wanted to invite you to come and have a cup of tea. Tell me, is this your good fortune?" Although the Taoist priest in Qingyi was smiling, The arrogance in his expression came from the bottom of his heart. He seemed to think that this small cup of tea had given Liang Yan enough face.

Liang Yan frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "Senior Brother Jin, which Senior Brother Jin?"

"What! You don't even know Senior Brother Jin?"

The Taoist priest in green looked incredulously as he looked Liang Yan up and down.

"Humph, after all, he is just a country bumpkin from Zhao Guolai. He is not very capable and doesn't even have any eyesight!" The tall Taoist priest sneered from the side.

The Taoist priest in green looked at Liang Yan carefully and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it. Then he said with a strange expression: "As a disciple of Yungang Sect's Qi Refining Generation, you don't know Senior Brother Jin Jiuzhong Jin. He is the famous Yungang Sect." One of the Five Sons!"

"The fifth son of Yungang?" Liang Yan sighed softly in his heart. Since he entered the sect, he has either practiced in seclusion or gone out to do tasks. Although the name of the fifth son of Yungang has been mentioned by Li Xiaosong, he has really not done much. Take it to heart.

The Taoist priest in green saw Liang Yan being silent for a while, thinking that he was frightened by Jin Jiuzhong's reputation, so he immediately said in a pleasant tone:

"Junior Brother Liang, I don't think you are stupid. If Senior Brother Jin invites you to come to our house for tea, it means that he wants to invite you to join our faction. In the future, if you follow Senior Brother Jin, your status in the sect will naturally increase. There are many benefits. This What is it if it’s not great blessing?”

"Join your faction?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint this Senior Brother Jin. Liang is used to being a loner, and he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of factional dispute."

"What!" The monk in green glared, obviously not expecting Liang Yan to refuse so simply.

"Boy, you have to think clearly! You must know that the five sons of Yun Gang are all at the peak of Qi refining, and each of them is a genius that dominates this generation. Especially Senior Brother Jin, who has the 'Golden Spirit Hegemonic Body' ! Once you succeed in building the foundation in the future, you will be on your way to success. If you dare to refuse Senior Brother Jin’s invitation, is it because you think your path of cultivation is too broad!”

Liang Yan's expression did not change at all after hearing this, and he just said calmly: "He built his own foundation, and I cultivated my own way. How will he achieve success in the future, but what does it have to do with Liang?"

The Taoist priest in green frowned when he heard this, but before he could speak, the tall Taoist priest behind him shouted at the top of his lungs: "Senior Brother Li, I think this person has no knowledge of good and evil at all! Even a bumpkin like this is worthy of being with us. ?”

Liang Yan glanced sideways and saw that this man also turned his head to look, his eyes full of disdain.

"Haha, Liang is not sure about Senior Brother Jin's strength. However, Senior Brother Jin's dog is very noisy!"

"Boy, who are you talking about!" The tall Taoist priest glared angrily, almost bursting into flames.

"I will blame whoever insulted my master just now!" Liang Yan put his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

"I think you're tired of living!" the tall Taoist priest roared angrily, turning his hands to take something out of the storage bag, but was grabbed from behind by the Taoist priest in green.

"Zuo Qianyan, have you lost your mind? This is within the sect. If you want to do something to this kid, aren't you afraid that your senior uncle will ask for punishment?"

The tall Taoist priest named Zuo Qianyan removed his hand after hearing this, but he still looked angry. He raised his finger and pointed at Liang Yan's nose and shouted: "Boy, don't think that there is nothing I can do to you if you are hiding in the sect." , if you can, never leave the mountain for the rest of your life, otherwise if Zuo Qianyan meets me, I will definitely make you look good!"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to that day!" Liang Yan sneered.

"Boy, Tu Yi is quick to talk, but it will not do him any good. Most of the Qi refining disciples of Yungang Sect who have some strength are attached to one of the five disciples. Li Mou said this, you can decide whether to listen or not. !”

The Taoist priest in green said, pulling up the two of them and turning around to leave. Before leaving, Zuo Qianyan did not forget to glare at Liang Yan and shook his fist in a threatening manner.

Liang Yan looked at the leaving figures of the three people and narrowed his eyes slightly. Zuo Qianyan and the short and fat Taoist priest are both at the eighth level of Qi refining, while the green-robed Taoist is at the ninth level of Qi refining. Although he is not afraid at all, after this incident, he should be more distracted.

In the next few days, Liang Yan made insinuations within the sect, and through interactions with several outer disciples, he gradually gained a general understanding of the factional dispute.

It turns out that Yungang Sect adheres to the Taoist philosophy of governing by doing nothing, and many of the resources under the sect are not distributed strictly every month according to disciple level like Yixing Pavilion. Instead, the disciples are allowed to compete freely. For many public resources, the strongest ones get the lion's share. This can be regarded as promoting the competitive consciousness of the disciples.

At the beginning, it was true that the most powerful people had exclusive resources. But after a while, many people gradually realized that only by forming an alliance could they become invincible.

As a result, those who were slightly stronger began to form cliques among their fellow disciples in the sect, dividing them into factions with the goal of competing for resources. The upper echelons of Yungang Sect also turned a blind eye to this, and as long as they didn't go too far, they acquiesced. Over time, this tradition of factional fighting was passed down from generation to generation.

As for Liang Yan's generation, there are five amazingly talented monks in the Yungang Sect's Qi Refining Generation. These five people either have heaven-defying physiques or have extraordinary spiritual roots, and each of them is within the sect. Dominate. At the same time, the sect's factions were also divided into five, with each faction fighting openly and secretly. The "Jinjiuzhong" mentioned by the Taoist priest in Qingyi is one of the five sons because of his special golden spiritual body.

"It's true that the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Liang Yan sat in his cave and sighed softly in his heart.

The reason why he joined the Yungang Sect was to use the sect's resources to practice swordsmanship. Unexpectedly, the gate of Xiuxian Mountain is no different from the secular world. There are also factional disputes, and they are also involved in themselves.

As for the monks at his door, he had inquired about it. The Taoist priest in green was named Li Qi, and he was an inner disciple of Jade Immortal Peak. Zuo Qianyan and the short, fat Taoist priest were both inner disciples of Shenju Peak.

Jin Jiuzhong himself is a direct disciple of Shenju Peak, so it is not surprising that Zuo Qianyan and Zuo Qianyan are under his faction.

The two peaks of "Jade Immortal" and "Shenju" have always been on good terms, and there are no direct disciples in the generation of Jade Immortal Peak, so Li Qi also joined Jin Jiuchong's camp.

To say that these three people are not weak in strength, just when Liang Yan went to carry out the task of guarding the sword pavilion, the sect competition of Yungang Sect had already been held. Zuo Qianyan stood out from the thousands of Qi Refining disciples of Yungang Sect, and finally ranked 49th, which can be regarded as successfully entering the top 50 of the competition.

And that Li Qi was even more incredible. He actually managed to reach the top ten and finally ranked eighth.

He had a winning streak all the way, and many disciples of the same level were not his enemies. It can be said that he stole the show. Only in the penultimate round of the competition, he was defeated by "Zhang Song" of Yungang's fifth son, which was considered an honor even though he lost.

Liang Yan understood the details of these people and sneered in his heart: "I don't care whether you are the ninth in the competition or the fifth in Yun Gang. As long as you don't mess with me, if you keep pestering me, I will find a way. Make you look good!"
