C145 Nether Sect (1/2)
Although the Tiangyou City's Qin family was weak, and in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, they were an unranked existence, after all, they were only at the Spirit Lake Realm realm, and even though they claimed that the Qin family's patriarch was at the Spirit Sea Realm, Qin Shaojie knew, that the patriarch would not be able to live for long.
Once the ancestor dies, the current Tiangyou City's Qin family would be even weaker.
But no matter what happened to the Qin family of Tiangyou City, there were still some legends about the Tiangyou City's Qin family. The majority of these legends were related to the Imperial Family before, so after so many years, even though the Qin family was still relatively weak, they were still able to secure the first position in the Tiangyou City, and there were even sounds coming from the surrounding cities.
The main reason for this was that the royal family was at the peak of its power. It was a pity that it was not easy to find out the relationship between the Tiangyou City's Qin family and the Imperial Family. Even Qin Shaojie who had stayed in the Tiangyou City's Qin family for so many years had not discovered a single thing.
Previously, Qin Shaojie had also asked Qin Mai to look for this information, but Qin Mai had finally put this matter aside because of his current physical condition. However, if he remembered correctly, Qin Mai had personally told Qin Shaojie that there must be some sort of relationship between the two of them. However, what this relationship was, even though Qin Mai was a member of the royal family, he didn't know.
Originally, Qin Shaojie thought that he would receive more of the news regarding the relationship between the Tiangyou City and the Imperial Family, but the more he thought about it, the more felt that something was amiss. If it was only related to the Imperial Family, Wen Ya would not have made it sound so serious. To say that it was a change of fate or luck, these kinds of words, were enough to show just how important it was.
”Is that true?!”
Inside the run-down temple, Qin Shaojie was frowning deeply. Liu Mubai had already used the excuse of visiting a few other people who had recovered from their injuries to leave this place, leaving behind only Qin Shaojie and Wen Ya. After all, he was a smart man. She knew that there were some information she could learn, and some would be better off not to understand.
In this world, there were many times when one's own strength was insufficient. The less one knew, the safer they would be. Furthermore, if Wen Ya really wanted to tell him this news, she would definitely not mind keeping him here.
”One of the people in that group was our spy. However, the end result wasn't too good, but it was also because of this that I was convinced of that news.”
One of the people who followed Qin Zhu was originally an informant in an elite auction. Although in the end, aside from Qin Zhu, almost everyone who knew about this matter had been killed, the informant had actually sent the news to Wen Ya ahead of time.
If there were any problems with the information, Qin Zhu would not have attacked so viciously. After all, a portion of these people were experts of Three Spiritual Realms, and even if they were in the Spirit Sea Realm, they were not just one or two.
From this, it could be seen that the importance and precision of this information was not baseless. Moreover, this news could only be true, and would only cause Qin Zhu to be like this.
”Nether Sect?”
Perhaps many people in the mortal world didn't know about the Nether Sect. The strength of this continent was usually divided into cities formed by the clans, and the cities converged into national empires. However, empires were not truly independent. If the empires wanted to survive in this world for more time, they would have to rely on powerful sects.
The stronger a sect was, the more empires they would have to depend on. Even some of the weaker small sects would have around a dozen or even more empires attached to them.
Right now, the Great Yan Dynasty, the surrounding empires, as well as the powerful empires, were all attached to the Nether Sect at the same time. However, these sects did not control the affairs of the mortal world and did not easily interfere in its disputes. Thus, ordinary people only knew about the cities in the empire and did not know about the sects.
Of course, from the perspective of a ruler, it was naturally because they did not want the disciples of the mortal world to know that they were supporting the sect.
It was rumored that the Nether Sect had existed for more than three thousand years. Although it wasn't as old as the so-called ancient sects and its strength was inferior to those existences, it was still an existence that couldn't be underestimated. This was especially so for the past hundred years. The Nether Sect s had grown even faster, so the number of dynasties that had submitted to the Nether Sect grew more and more.
In the mortal world, the Earth Origin Stage of dynasties could already be considered as the peak of the strong, but in Nether Sect, it could not be considered as top-notch. It was said that there were many strong life and death realm experts within the dynasties, and there were even stronger existences.
A tier four alchemist enjoyed the same treatment as a reverend alchemist within the empire. However, they were clearly aware that there was definitely a tier five or even a tier six alchemist within the Nether Sect.
The secular world had never had anything to do with the sects, but once the sects had something to do with certain existences in the mundane world, it would inevitably be a bloody storm of existences.
Forget about the relationship between the Tiangyou City's Qin family and the Imperial Family, based on the current situation, if the Tiangyou City's Qin family was truly related to the so-called Nether Sect, then even the surrounding dynasties would have to be respectful to him, not to mention the Great Yan Dynasty.
No one knew better than Wen Ya and the royal family how powerful the sect was. Although the sect would never interfere in matters of the mortal world, its every word was absolutely authoritative in the imperial court.
