“The Chen family of the North Island? So there are two groups of people in the sect?” Lin Yi blinked.
A sect was a sect, and an aristocratic family was an aristocratic family. Generally, they did not interfere with each other’s business. It was rare for there to be a situation where people in the North Island’s Green cloud sect were mixed in, because this would inevitably lead to the formation of gangs. Just like the current green cloud sect of the North Island, a mere mid Jindan stage could sit in the position of Deputy sect leader, and even the entire Elder Council could become his sole authority. It was simply a joke if it was said out loud.
“Yes, one is the Chen family faction. These people are either direct or collateral descendants of the Chen family on the North Island, or have inextricable connections with the Chen family. There aren’t many of them, but they are very United and powerful. The representatives are the Grand Elder and the Deputy sect leader, Chen Dongcheng.” Xin Yijie explained.
Even the strongest nascent soul was the previous Head of House Chen, so naturally, this house Chen’s faction was extremely powerful. Lin Yi wasn’t surprised by this and continued to ask,”What about the other faction?”
“The other faction is the local faction. Normally, as long as the disciples have no relationship with the Chen family of the North Island, they are classified as the local faction. The majority of them are from the local faction, but the relationship is very loose. So, it is usually fine, but once something happens, they become a pile of loose sand. The representative is sect leader Hong, Hong Zijun.” Xin Yijie said with a bitter smile.
“No wonder.” Realization dawned on Lin Yi-the local factions were a pile of loose sand to begin with, and now that even their representative Hong Zijun was in trouble, it was understandable why they’d become like this.
“Senior granduncle, Deputy sect leader Chen is coming. You have to be on guard.” Xin Yijie said carefully.
“Oh? How do we defend against it?” Lin Yi said.
“Deputy sect leader Chen has the support of the entire Chen family faction. If he does something bad to you, you won’t be able to guard against it.” Xin Yijie looked at Lin Yi’s face and gathered his courage.”Senior granduncle, you gave us the original version of the Qingyun heart calming formula. By right, based on this point alone, your status should be impeccable. However, after all, you have left the Qingyun school on the North Island for too long. Most of the people in the school are only curious about you, but they don’t have much sense of identity with you. Once Deputy sect leader Chen really makes trouble, you will be very passive.”
“Continue.” Lin Yi said faintly.
Xin Yijie swallowed nervously. He wasn’t good at instigating others, but he had no choice but to do so.”Yes, if you want to take root in the sect, you need a group of loyal fans. Now that sect leader Hong’s whereabouts are unknown and the local sects have no leader, you need to stand up and cheer for them. Otherwise, if this continues, the green cloud sect in the North Island may become the Chen family in the North Island.”
“You want me to replace sect leader Hong?” Lin Yi looked at him strangely.
“No, no, no, this disciple didn’t mean it that way.” Xin Yijie hurriedly denied it. As soon as Hong Zijun was in trouble, this underling of his incited someone else to replace him. If he really did that, he would become a complete traitor. He hurriedly explained,”What I mean is that the local faction, under the leadership of sect leader Hong, was inclined to you, so it is entirely possible for you to stand up and lead the way. As for sect leader Hong, I will spare no effort to find him. If I can find him, that would be great, but if I can’t …”
Xin Yijie didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Lin Yi’s lips curled up. Xin Yijie’s words reminded him of what Liu Bei had said to Zhuge Liang when he entrusted the city to him. If the son can be supplemented, he can be supplemented. If he is not talented, the monarch can take it himself.
With Lin Yi’s level, he didn’t really care about fighting and scheming with people from the green cloud sect on the North Island, but it looked like they were going to make it hard for him and Lingshan to live in peace. He might as well go with the flow.
“I didn’t expect you to be so bold.” Lin Yi smiled. He’d thought that Xin Yijie was a good man who’d protect himself, but he’d been quite decisive this time. He knew that Chen Dongcheng wanted to mess with him, but he still dared to tell on him. The person in charge was a Grand Elder, after all. If it were someone else in Xin Yijie’s position, they might not have had the courage to do this.
“Martial granduncle, you’re too kind,” Xin Yijie smiled honestly as he looked at Lin Yi’s face nervously.”Then what do you mean?”
“To be honest, your suggestion is not bad.” Lin Yi admitted, but spread his hands.”But I’m trapped here and can’t get out. What’s the use?”
“This …” Xin Yijie was dumbfounded. He was so focused on persuading Lin Yi, but he forgot that Lin Yi and the others had been locked up from the moment they stepped in …
“By the way, how much do you know about this formation? can you tell me?” Lin Yi suddenly said. If he could figure out the principle and characteristics of this formation, he might be able to force his way in and out even without the waist tag. He could come in and out as he pleased, and it wouldn’t be easy for Chen Dongcheng to use this to restrict him anymore.
“Senior granduncle, although I am also an elder, my status and level are not high enough to spy on the core secrets of the sect’s important formations.” Xin Yijie said with a bitter smile.
“I see …” Lin Yi was a little disappointed.
“However, this one step to heaven formation is our sect’s most famous formation. From the first day I joined, I’ve been hearing all sorts of discussions about it. I dare not say that I know its core secrets, but I do have some understanding of it.” Xin Yijie changed the topic.
“Then why are you still keeping me in suspense?” Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him.
“Haha …” Xin Yijie laughed awkwardly. He was a careful person, and he wouldn’t spread rumors unless there was concrete evidence. He just didn’t want Lin Yi to think that he was useless, so he decided to come up with some unproven rumors.
“One step to heaven formation. There are basically two explanations for the origin of this formation’s name. One is that thousands of years ago, there was an unknown ordinary disciple in our sect who made a mistake and was punished with confinement. At that time, this was just an ordinary back cliff. Unexpectedly, in just three years, that disciple suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly became an invincible top-notch existence. With his own strength, he turned our sect into the number one sect in the ancient times without any suspense. That was our sect’s most glorious period. After that, the back cliff was renamed ascending heaven cliff. ” Xin Yijie said.
