The dragon veins within the Sunset Mountains were turbid and mostly chaotic and uncontrolled. Harmonizing them was extremely difficult, and over time, they would be corroded by the Nine Netherworld's magic. Anyone considering this was a bad job. Normally, the Youchi Clan would handle this task internally, but Granny Gro was not a Youchi Clan member. Why would she take on this task here, wasting her youth?
"Ah, this..." Hearing these words, Caiwei turned around in surprise and looked at Granny Grove. It seemed that she had never thought about this question before. She subconsciously thought that Granny Grove was also a member of the Youchi clan.
"Everyone has their own ideas and choices. It's not a rare thing." Granny Gro shook her head calmly.
"You came here from Luojing for something specific? Maybe I can provide some help." Granny Gro asked the woman again about her purpose.
The woman knew now was not the time to dwell on such matters, so she began to narrate. "Here's what happened..."
She then explained her origins, revealing she came from the Jinzhan Xuanhua House of the Plantagenet dynasty. This institution, originally the personal guards of the founding Plantagenet monarch, was primarily responsible for intelligence matters. After the dynasty was established, it became the dynasty's supervisory body.
This time, I came here because I received a secret report that the governor of Xiyouzhou was deliberately concealing the chaos under his rule, suspected of deceiving the emperor. Unfortunately, I found no concrete evidence within Xiyouzhou. After arriving here, I did hear of some unusual developments in the nearby Ximu Mountains. It was a lucky coincidence, I guess.
"I see." Granny Gro nodded.
"So, young lady, what are your plans? I'm sure you're aware of the crisis in the Sunset Mountains."
The woman pondered for a while about this.
"Although I came here prepared and didn't expect it to be such a big event, as a member of the Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion, it is not beyond my authority to participate in it." She recalled the history she saw in the mansion that year and narrated it slowly.
"After the Youchi Kingdom was defeated, Lord Chifeng brought the immortals to deal with the aftermath, but the dragon veins and cave heavens here were already in chaos and could not be completely rectified. Later, disciples from the 'Xiangyu Sect', 'Taiyin Palace', and 'Xuanhua Mansion' were recruited to assist."
"Among them, the 'Taiyin Palace' has placed a seal beneath the Nine Netherworlds, which aligns with the Taiyin moon in the night sky, in order to suppress and seal off those broken caves."
"'Xuanhua Mansion' dispatched shamans and priests to sever the dragon veins connecting to the surrounding prefectures and counties to prevent the spread of the dark energy."
"The 'Xiangyu Sect' left behind disciples from the Jiuyou Sect to patrol the mountains to prevent outsiders from breaking the seal and to suppress the few demons that escaped."
"Unfortunately, over three hundred years ago, the Jiyue Taiyin Palace participated in the struggle for the succession to the throne. Because they lost the struggle, their faction was disbanded, their disciples scattered, and their classics were taken into the custody of the Xuanhua Mansion. The remaining disciples of the Xiangyu Sect also formed their own faction many years ago, becoming the Ningzi Zhaoye Palace."
"Although we are not seeing any disciples from Zhaoye Palace right now, it is part of our mission for us, Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion, to intervene in this matter, so it is not an overstepping of our bounds."
After listening to his explanation, Loran Hill finally spoke.
"However, the current situation in Zhaoye Palace may not be as agreed upon back then..." She also described what she saw in the base yesterday.
After hearing this, the woman was also very surprised. She didn't expect that such a fierce internal struggle would occur within the Shangmen sect.
"I'm afraid this matter cannot be resolved in a short period of time." She thought about the situation quickly.
"Xiyouzhou is the closest now, so we can go there to ask for help first. As for the Zhaoye Palace Master, it will probably take more than half a month to get there, and it will probably take a month to come back. It's really too late." She said what she was thinking. Of course, this was estimated based on her own speed.
Luo Lanxier looked at the woman and asked carefully, "Do you have any way to get the governor to send troops?"
"This shouldn't be a big problem." She nodded confidently and proudly. As the Xuanhua Mansion was responsible for supervising all officials, which official would not be afraid of it?
"Okay." Although Loran Hill felt that the governor in the rumors was not an easy person to deal with, it was not a good idea to deliberately sabotage him at this moment.
Seeing the two people in the hall analyzing, Granny Gro nodded slightly, then took out a piece of silk from a drawer beside her and began to write quickly.
"I will write down the current situation. This time, please help me deliver the letter." After saying that, she rolled it up and handed it to the two of them.
"Okay." Loran Hill didn't mind running another errand. But the woman in the hall seemed to have other ideas.
"Can you allow me to tour the valley for half a day before going back?" As a member of the Xuanhua Mansion, she couldn't believe many things based on others' descriptions, and she had to explore them with her own eyes.
"That's fine. I'm sorry to bother the Imperial Envoy." Granny Gro replied.
"Sorry to bother you then."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bu Moyin, and I'm from the Bu family in Luojing."
Granny Gro nodded thoughtfully, and then the woman temporarily left the shrine, and Caiwei beside her had to follow her.
After seeing him walk away, Granny Gro slowly spoke.
"No wonder he's so concerned, he's actually a descendant of the Bu family."
"Who is the Bu family?" Loran Hill asked curiously.
"The Bu family is one of the six famous aristocratic families in Luojing. Their ancestors produced the empress of the founding emperor. Although they have experienced several ups and downs, they have gradually stabilized. Although they can no longer influence the government, their family reputation has been passed down and is known to everyone."
"Who are the other six?" The girl suddenly became interested.
