"This time, three people from Kunlun, six people from Shushan, and three people from Penglai, a total of twelve people, formed a team to go to Xihua Peak to find the entrance to the Golden Palace Secret Realm."

"The time is set at noon the day after tomorrow. We will gather at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei in Shu, and then travel west together."

"Shushan had already sent people to Xihua Peak to investigate repeatedly. And it was because of the excessive number of times that it attracted the attention of our spies."

"So far, it has been confirmed that the entrance to the secret realm is at the top of Xihua Peak, but the method to open it has not yet been determined. Therefore, this time, Shushan invited Jian Buyan from the Jian family in Qingzhou to conduct an on-site investigation using divination methods."

"There are also ten Shushan elders and the head of Yujing himself accompanying them."

"Yes." Although he already knew this information, and he might even know more than the Yin Gui Dao, Wei Dongliu still showed a serious attitude and said to Wen Yang, "Since the entrance has not been discovered yet, why don't we follow closely and leave no trace, and wait until the entrance to the Golden Palace Secret Realm is discovered, and then move out in one fell swoop to seize the initiative."

"We thought so too." Wen Yang said with a smile, "The road ahead is unclear, so let the Three Purities explore the way for us."

"As for the allocation of personnel, the Venerable said that the more people enter the secret realm, the more difficult the corresponding test will be."

"Therefore, we plan to set the number of people to twelve, including four from the Yin Gui Dao, three from the Tian Mo Dao, two from the Mortal Dao, two from the Shura Dao, and one from the Dong Huang Dao... What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wei?"

Wei Dongliu listened calmly and sneered in his heart.

Wen Yang was not qualified to make suggestions on this distribution plan, as it must have been formulated by the White Bone Venerable of the Yin Gui Dao.

The number of people in the Yin Ghost Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect is the largest. In other words, despite the outside world's bragging about the Jiejiao Six Paths and the three pillars, in fact, in the eyes of the old sects such as the Heavenly Demon and the Yin Ghost Sect, the Mortal Path is not qualified to be compared with them and can only belong to the second echelon.

Of course, outsiders like Shura and Donghuang must be relegated to the third tier.

Although both Shura Dao and Fansheng Dao sent two people this time, it was because the plateau area where Xihua Peak is located is the territory of Shura Dao, so they were given an extra quota.

"I will ask the Blood Sea Ancestor to review this matter." Wei Dongliu replied calmly.

"Then I'll wait for your news." Wen Yang said with a smile.

After asking someone to take Wen Yang to the guest room, Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment and then flew towards the top of the mountain alone on his sword.

In the snow, under the huge rock, he told the Blood Sea Ancestor the latest developments of the matter in detail.

"Very good." The Blood Sea Patriarch said calmly, "Just do as Bai Gu said."

"Go pick out two people from the sect to represent Fan Sheng Dao in this meeting at the Golden Palace."

How else can I choose two people? I, the great head of Wei, and my eldest disciple Guo Jin, who has just formed a pill, are gone.

After the personnel were selected, Wei Dongliu went to find Wen Yang and asked her when the Golden Palace Secret Realm would open - of course, he already knew the date, but he had to pretend not to know and ask.

After just half a day of absence, Wen Yang came out of the room, wearing a set of men's clothes, looking heroic and charming.

When Wei Dongliu saw her dressed like this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Ahem." Wen Yang explained awkwardly, "I've been wearing women's clothes for too long, so I'll change into men's clothes to ease my mood."

"Women's clothing is what he wanted, right?" Wei Dongliu asked with a hint of meaning.

"That's exactly what the Venerable meant." Wen Yang said with a helpless smile, "In his opinion, since I am a girl, if I force myself to dress like a man, it would be like deliberately making myself ugly. That's why I always dress like a woman when I am in the sect's residence."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Have you decided on the candidate for Fan Sheng Dao?"

"It's settled, what's the date?"

"Shushan will set out the day after tomorrow, so we must leave at midnight tomorrow night and gather at Yinfeng Pavilion on Beimang Mountain. Be careful not to let any news leak out."

"That's natural."

The next day, Guo Jin successfully survived the golden elixir tribulation and returned with the Wanxiangjue Immortal Sword to report.

"Very good." Wei Dongliu, who had expected this, took the Wanxiang Jue Xian Sword back to his side and said, "Master will grant you the Taoist name, Mingling."

"Now that you have achieved the state of Dan and become a real person, you must shoulder more responsibilities."

"Tonight, follow me to Beimang Mountain."

Guo Jin naturally had no objection and just nodded in agreement.

…

Yinfeng Pavilion is located deep in Beimang Mountain, but it is unknown who built it in ancient times.

Due to its remote location, mortals rarely come here to live, only monks stay here.

At three quarters past midnight, many cultivators from the six paths have arrived here one after another.

The four people from the Yin Gui Dao are Master Mo Gu and his three younger brothers.

The three people from the Heavenly Demon Sect are all enchantingly beautiful female cultivators, so they are omitted here.

There were two people from Shura Dao, one dressed as a foreign monk in wide robes, and the other looked like a lay monk... He was the Immortal Mo Yan that Qiu Changtian met.

There is also a monk from the Donghuang Dao, who is omitted here.

After browsing through all the people, Wei Dongliu suddenly realized that Wen Yang was missing.

"Friend Wei, I'm here." An inconspicuous younger brother beside Master Mo Gu suddenly spoke up.

His face suddenly moved, and then turned into a pretty feminine appearance.

"Friend Wen?" Wei Dongliu said in surprise.

It turns out that this guy is actually disguised as the younger brother of Demon Bone Master. No wonder I didn’t see her in the secret realm... Just as Wei Dongliu was thinking this, he suddenly heard Demon Bone Master ask unhappily:

"Lianshan, who is this?"

"This is Sect Master Wei of the Mortal Dao." Wen Yang said with a smile, "Daoyou Wei, let me introduce you. This is Demon Bone Master of our Yin Ghost Dao."

"Demon Bone?" Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment, and saw that Demon Bone Master looked at Wen Yang, then turned to him, and so on several times. His eyes became more and more vigilant and unfriendly - just like a male animal seeking a mate, and suddenly found another male next to the opposite sex he liked.

Oh, this guy is pursuing Wen Yang and treats me as his love rival.

Wei Dongliu laughed in his heart, winked at Wen Yang, and told her to come over and explain.

I am a man with a Taoist partner, I won’t bother with a loser like you!

Wen Yang seemed not to see his eyes, but walked to Wei Dongliu and explained to him with a smile:

"Isn't this Taoist name strange? Actually, he gave it to himself."

The subtext is that this person has no culture, just like the Shura Dao monk, and his Daoist name is "Demon Flame" or "Iron Arm"... Wei Dongliu barely suppressed his smile, and heard Demon Bone Master asked with a fake smile:

"Lianshan, are you acquainted with Sect Master Wei?"

Seeing that this guy's hostility was growing stronger, Wei Dongliu quickly coughed, signaling Wen Yang to explain quickly.

"Well, we are old acquaintances who have known each other for a long time." Wen Yang said with a smile, "What a pity, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Jiang who got there first and married Sect Master Wei, maybe I would be the Sect Master's wife now!"

Hey, that's not how you should explain it!
