Chapter 1566 Sect Information

After listening to Fan Gaoyi's introduction, Pi Yangyang had already guessed that the reason why the Pei family was able to prosper was entirely because the chief elder of their Jiuxuan Sect was a member of their Pei family.

Needless to say, tomorrow's conference must also be organized by the chief elder.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the name of the chief elder?"

"The chief elder is Pei Jinguang's younger brother, Pei Jinming."

Fan Gaoyi replied.

Pi Yangyang frowned slightly, and was about to ask again when Fan Gaoyi bowed and said, "Master Jiu, I came here to report to you about the matter of the chief elder."

Pi Yangyang nodded calmly, pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down and talk."

Fan Gaoyi seemed a little nervous. Although he was in the house, he still looked around, as if he was afraid that someone was eavesdropping.

"Tie Niu, watch carefully and don't let anyone get close."

Pi Yangyang immediately understood his idea and asked Tie Niu to be in charge of vigilance.

Tie Niu agreed, left the room and stood guard at the door.

"Okay, just say whatever you want to say." Pi Yangyang said with a sigh of relief, "What is the current situation of the sect?"

Fan Gaoyi said, "Master Jiu, you asked me to secretly investigate the information of several great elders in the sect after I came back, and I dare not slack off...

"However, as the peak master, I am not allowed to go to Jiuxuan Peak without the summons of the Elders Council. Therefore, there are some situations that I have not fully investigated."

"Then tell me what you know." Pi Yangyang didn't care too much and said calmly.

Fan Gaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Since the news of the death of Old Nine Master came out three years ago, there has been a lot of turmoil in the thirteen peaks and nine major branches. Some branches want to withdraw from the Jiuxuan Sect, and some peak masters want to establish their own sects. It was the chief elder who led the elders' council to suppress the situation and stabilize it. However..."

Having said that, Fan Gaoyi suddenly became hesitant.

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but ask: "But what?"

"But I have also heard rumors that the eight elders of the Council of Elders had a fierce dispute over who should preside over the Jiuxuan Sect, and there was even a possibility of a fight."

Fan Gaoyi said a little nervously.

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't Pei Jinming the chief elder? Is he the most senior one after the sect master?"

Fan Gaoyi shook his head slightly and said in a strange way: "After the Sect Master, the Chief Elder is indeed the most powerful. However... before the Old Ninth Master passed away, he was not the Chief Elder..."

Pi Yangyang was startled, his eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he asked in a deep voice: "You mean... Pei Jinming became the chief elder after the death of Old Nine Master?"

Fan Gaoyi nodded, "The original chief elder was Han Chuhan, who was appointed and announced by Old Nine Master himself. But three years ago, news suddenly came from the Jiuxuan Peak headquarters that Elder Han needed to go into seclusion due to health reasons, and passed the position of the chief elder of the sect to Pei Jinming..."

"The chief elder passed on his position? Was there a ceremony to pass on the position? Did you witness it with your own eyes?"

Pi Yangyang asked again.

Fan Gaoyi shook his head again. "There was no ceremony, and I didn't see it myself. The Elders' Council suddenly announced it and notified the heads of all peaks and branches. And the strange thing is that one month later, the Elders' Council held a sect meeting, and only five of the original eight elders remained..."

Pi Yangyang's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

There must have been a power struggle on Jiuxuan Peak, and the current chief elder Pei Jinming was clearly the winner.

As for the former chief elder Han Chuhan, and the other two chief elders, they are probably in great danger!

"Elder Han is in seclusion, and what about the two great elders? Have they given any explanation?"

Pi Yangyang asked in a deep voice.

A trace of fear flashed across Fan Gaoyi's eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, Elder Pei said that the other two elders, while traveling outside, encountered the Eight Heavenly Kings of the Black Temple and were seriously injured. After returning to the mountain, they also went into seclusion. But..."

Pi Yangyang smiled coldly, "Is this nonsense?"

"In fact... many people have doubted what Elder Pei said. At that time, Luo Bai, the head of Qingxuan Peak, raised doubts in public. However, that night, Luo Bai suddenly died on his way back to Qingxuan Peak... No one dared to discuss this matter anymore."

At this point, Fan Gaoyi's voice began to tremble slightly.

It was obvious that he knew exactly what was going on.

Pi Yangyang turned his head to look out the window and said in a cold voice: "So, the entire sect is now under the control of Pei Jinming?"

Fan Gaoyi nodded and said, "You can say that! In the past three years, many people who did not obey him disappeared inexplicably. Many elders, guardians, and deacons have been replaced, and they are all his confidants."

"Well, the other four elders are also his loyal followers?"

Pi Yangyang asked with some surprise.

Fan Gaoyi hesitated for a moment, "The Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder should be, the Eighth Elder..."

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Pi Yangyang couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the Eighth Elder?"

"The eighth elder is called Duan Yulin. He rarely shows up and rarely speaks at any meeting. I feel that he seems to disdain power struggles and is devoted to practicing martial arts..."

Fan Gaoyi said with some hesitation.

After all, these were just his guesses, so he didn't dare to be too sure.

"Duan Yulin...Okay, I understand. Among the other nine sects, which ones are close to Pei Jinming?"

Pi Yangyang thought for a while and asked again.

"Among the nine major branches, the ones that are close to Elder Pei are Xiaoyao Sect, Happy Valley, Red Sword Sect, and Spirit Beast Sect. Originally, there was also the Black Witch Sect that was also close to Elder Pei, but not long ago, something happened to the Black Witch Sect and the sect leader was replaced, so we are not very clear about it.

"In addition, among the thirteen peaks, at least half are supporters of Elder Pei..."

After listening to Fan Gaoyi's introduction, Pi Yangyang nodded and said calmly: "Very good, it seems that you really put your heart into it. I said that as long as you complete the task well, I will give you a great opportunity..."

As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized jade bottle from his pocket and handed it to Fan Gaoyi.

Fan Gaoyi was very excited. He took it carefully with both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Jiu."

"This is the Qi Gathering Pill I made. Take one pill every five days. It will help you break through the realm quickly."

Pi Yangyang said calmly.

Fan Gaoyi unscrewed the cork without hesitation, poured out a red pill, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

"Thank you for your gift, Master Jiu! From now on, my life belongs to you. As long as you give me your orders, I will do my best to obey you."

He knelt on one knee and spoke earnestly to Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang said: "There are three pills in total. Each of you three can take one. Remember, you can't take too much. One is the limit you can take."

"Yes, I understand."

Fan Gaoyi's surprise was beyond words.

After swallowing the pill, he immediately felt a warm current slowly gathering in his dantian, which made him feel indescribably comfortable.

"Okay, you can leave first. I need to rest."

Pi Yangyang waved his hand and Fan Gaoyi said goodbye and left.
