Chapter 15: Yuyixian Golden-Winged Peng, Mother Guiling

"I am Yuyixian!"

Glancing at Lin Fan, Yuyixian looked at him curiously for a while, then continued: "I heard that you joined the Jie Sect and became an Inner Sect Disciple, and Master summoned all the Personal Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples to meet you!"

"I went out to travel before, and when I heard the news, I came here to see you!"

Yuy

Golden-Winged Peng!

His pupils shrank, and Lin Fan's breathing immediately quickened.

No other reason.

This guy's identity is not simple.

In the Primordial Era, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans dominated the Great Desolation.

Later, the war between the three clans led to their decline and withdrawal; Yuanfeng, in particular, was severely injured in the final battle, and being pregnant, she could not hold on on the way back, thus giving birth to two sons: Kong Xuan and Dapeng!

This Yuyixian is the Golden-Winged Peng.

He has great potential, an extraordinary origin, and possesses the innate Yin-Yang Qi.

Unfortunately, Yuyixian's path went astray.

He refined the Yin-Yang Qi into the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle; while it is indeed an excellent treasure, it completely ruined the capabilities of the innate Yin-Yang Qi.

On the contrary, his elder brother Kong Xuan possessed the innate Five Elements Qi, and after birth, he refined it into the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The Five-Colored Divine Light can brush away anything; during the future Investiture of the Gods period, Kong Xuan suppressed all twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect with his own strength, and by relying on the Five-Colored Divine Light, he was invincible among those of the same realm.

If it weren't for the Saint Zhunti disregarding his face to suppress him, even without the Jie Sect disciples taking action, Kong Xuan alone would have been enough to wipe out the Chan Sect's twelve Golden Immortals, the Vice Sect Leader, the registered disciples, and even those people in Xiqi.

Of course, these are the deeds of his elder brother Kong Xuan.

Yuyixian is still far inferior to Kong Xuan; he didn't have much of a presence during the Investiture of the Gods period, and later he was converted into the Western Sect.

When Tathagata and Kong Xuan fought, Tathagata eventually won and Kong Xuan was injured, but the people of the Western Sect stopped Tathagata from killing him, claiming he came out of Kong Xuan's stomach, and forcefully bestowed upon him the title of Buddha Mother; thus, Yuyixian's identity as the Golden-Winged Peng also leaped to become Tathagata's uncle.

"So it is Senior Brother Yuyixian."

Coming back to his senses, Lin Fan bowed to Yuyixian and said, "I truly did not know of Senior Brother's existence before; it was my neglect."

"I wonder if Senior Brother has any other matters for coming here this time?"

Although he knew Yuyixian's identity and was even clearer that this guy was also one of the Jie Sect's Inner Disciples!

However, Lin Fan did not intend to associate deeply with him; compared to the extraordinary wisdom of his brother Kong Xuan, Yuyixian has the air of a second-generation ancestor, and the latter's purpose in finding him this time is truly suspicious.

"There is indeed one more thing."

Hearing this, Yuyixian did not hide anything, and after looking Lin Fan up and down, he said, "I met Senior Sister Guiling when I arrived here."

"Senior Sister Guiling knew I was looking for you and asked me to bring you a message."

"If Junior Brother Lin Fan is willing, you can go to her residence for a chat!"

Guiling Shengmu.

Inviting me to her residence for a chat?

Raising an eyebrow, a flash of astonishment crossed Lin Fan's eyes.

He really did not expect Yuyixian to bring such information and content.

Most importantly, the information contained within this also makes one feel that something is not quite right.

He did indeed have a brief encounter with Guiling Shengmu before.

But at that meeting, the two had no interaction; why did Guiling Shengmu suddenly throw an olive branch to him?

Unable to understand, Lin Fan glanced at Yuyixian and asked, "Senior Brother Yuyixian, why is this?"

"I don't seem to have had any interaction with Senior Sister Guiling."

Hearing this, Yuyixian grinned, looked deeply at Lin Fan, and said, "If you asked others, they might answer that they don't know."

"But since you asked me, I can tell you some information."

As he spoke, Yuyixian looked around, then locked onto Lin Fan's cave and said, "Junior Brother Lin Fan, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

"Of course!"

Reacting, Lin Fan immediately stepped aside and said, "Senior Brother Yuyixian, please!"

Although he didn't know exactly what the latter wanted to say, Lin Fan still wanted to hear it.

After all, Yuyixian's background is not simple, and his origin, potential, and the purpose of this trip are likely not as simple as just taking a look at him.

Under such circumstances, the two soon arrived inside the cave.

"Senior Brother Yuyixian, please have some tea!"

Simply brewing a cup of tea and placing it in front of Yuyixian, Lin Fan sat down in the area opposite him.

He did not continue to press for answers, but waited for Yuyixian's response.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Yuyixian took a sip of tea, not knowing whether he was praising the tea or Lin Fan himself.

After putting down the teacup, Yuyixian slowly said, "Within the Jie Sect, the disciples are divided into five factions!"

"Among them, Senior Brother Duobao, Senior Sister Jinling, Senior Sister Guiling, and Senior Sister Wudang each form a faction, and another group of people have joined the faction led by the Three Sisters and managed by Zhao Gongming."

"Among these, the struggle between Senior Brother Duobao and the Three Sisters' lineage is the fiercest; Senior Sister Wudang has no desires, while Senior Sister Jinling and Senior Sister Guiling are linked together, each having their own calculations and plans!"

"Under these five factions, the entire Jie Sect's ten thousand immortals are also divided into their factions; whether they are Inner Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, or registered disciples, only you, Junior Brother Lin Fan, have just joined the Jie Sect, and you arrived as an Inner Disciple, so naturally, you will be recruited by them."

"Not to mention Senior Brother Duobao and the Three Sisters; as far as I know, Senior Sister Wudang has also invited you, and this time Senior Sister Guiling asked me to convey an invitation, which should also be because she wants you to join their faction."

Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded.

He knew this point; he had already roughly understood the situation when Duobao and Zhao Gongming had a conflict earlier.

It's just that he really didn't expect that Guiling Shengmu and Jinling Shengmu were actually of the same mind; no wonder the two of them seemed unremarkable yet still sat firmly in the position of Personal Disciples.

It is not that Lin Fan looks down on the two.

It is just that whether it is Jinling Shengmu or Guiling Shengmu, their presence in the Jie Sect is not as strong as Duobao's.

In terms of inheritance, the two are not as good as Wudang, who received the Shangqing Sword Dao inheritance, which also led to them not appearing as prominent.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "Since Guiling Shengmu has invited me, can I make contact with her first?"

"I need insights and experience in the Shangqing Art; what can compare to a Personal Disciple? At the very least, they are Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators, not comparable to ordinary Jie Sect disciples."

"However, I advise you not to get involved!"

But before Lin Fan could make up his mind, Yuyixian's voice suddenly resounded again: "These five factions look good, but in reality, once you join any one of them, you will be targeted by the other four factions as a thorn in their side!"

"With just your cultivation level, Junior Brother, if those guys want to make a move against you, you won't be able to withstand it at all!"
