    Default Xiao Yao Pai Sect

    Ok, newbie here, so take it easy on me.

    What happened to this sect after DGSD?

    Also, given that TSTL, LMZ, and WYZ were so powerful (just below sweeper monk) and each were only given different martial arts from their master, how powerful was the master (sweeper monk level)?

    Who created their gong fu and why wasn't Xiao Yao Pai Sect more of a force in Jiang Ho given that they seemed to have the greatest martial arts.

    don't know, probably dissapeared. From what we know, XZ doesn't have a disciple, so it's possible that Xiao Yiao Pai dissapeared after XZ died.

    Unknown, we can only speculate how powerful the Xiao Yiao 3 Elder's master is.

    Probably their master created the arts because each of the 3 Elders had different arts while there was one master.

    Xiao Yiao Pai was pretty secret and a lot of people didn't know about them.
    法王正欲回掌相击,突听嗤嗤轻响一股柔和的气流涌向面门,正是一灯大师使出“一阳指”功夫,正面拦截。法王一直没将这白眉老僧放在眼内,那料到他这一指之功,竟是如此深厚
    此时一灯大师的“一阳指”功夫实已到了登峰造极、炉火纯青的地步,指上发出的那股罡气似是温淳平和,但沛然浑厚,无可与抗

    Xiao Yiao Pai was always pretty aloof. They probably could not find anyone that could learn the powerful arts, and dwindled to non-existent. They were not exactly known through out wulin so their "death" would have been a minor blip on the radar. Maybe XZ spent all his time with his wife and left the sect doings to his underlings.
    All that's needed to say have been said, why say anything more? The man is drunk, why stay any longer?....

    They were always secret, may still be secretive.

    I mean, TSTL thought the 4 girls who were XZ's bodyguards could start learning some of the good XYP arts when they were only 40, if they trained hard. That's at least 4 people who can use stuff like Tianshan 6 Yang Zhang and so on.

    Welcome!

    What happened to this sect after DGSD?
    Never made an appearance in the martial world again. Was mentioned by Ren Woxing in Xiaoao Jianghu when describing his Star-absorbing Technique (which is a hybrid of Xiaoyao Pai's Beiming Shengong and Ding Chunqiu's Huagong Dafa)

    Also, given that TSTL, LMZ, and WYZ were so powerful (just below sweeper mop[nk) and each were only given different martial arts from their master, how powerful was the master (sweeper monk level)?
    there are several schools of thouight on this foruim. I tend to think their master should be better than the 3 elders (individually)p; however a few other members including Candide think he/she could be worse than the elders. No definite conclusion yet.

    Who created their gong fu and why wasn't Xiao Yao Pai Sect more of a force in Jiang Ho given that they seemed to have the greatest martial arts.
    Because Jin Yong wanted to make this organization very mysterious, so he didn't give much detail about their operating logic. There are some things about them that don't make much sense to me, and I haven't heard anyone able to fully explain them yet.

    Actually Xiaoyao Pai is an excellent example of rapid deterioation in wuxia. Assuming that 3 elders' teacher was better than them, then it got quite a bit weaker after each generation:

    Teacher -> 3 Elders -> Ding Chunqiu / Su Xinghe -> Xue Muhua and friends.
    (not including Xuzhu who was an accident)

    After only 3 generations, what used to be a Sweeper Monk-level organization (one assumption) suddenly got into the hands of people at the level of Dr. Xue!!!!!

    Minor nitpick: the Chinese name is Xiao Yao Pai (sorry, can't write out the exact characters), with an optional Xiaoyao instead. The english translation is Carefree Sect. "Pai" translates to sect.

    DCQ was actually pretty darn good. Imagine if WYZ actually taught him more. Pretty sure DCQ would be able to kick XF's ***.

    Not sure I'd go that far, but fair point.

    DCQ was able to go this far with his poisons and Hua Gong Da Fa. Imagine if he had Bei Ming Shen Gong instead.

    it's not even universally agreed that Wuyazi can defeat the DGSD Elites easily. Never saw Ding as that talented. According to this post, he could not master Xiao Wu Xiang Gong which was available to him (3rd ed), while JMZ got much further from less material (missing the last volume). So JMZ (and other Elites) > Ding in talent. Not a surprise, really.
