Chapter 37: Reopening the Mountain Gate



Huilu Island, the scorching sun shines on the yellow feather faction.

The mountain gate that was closed in the past was opened today, and various colored lights descended from the sky. Then, familiar or unfamiliar figures looked around and looked at this large sect that had been closed for a long time.

The yellow leaves fluttered in the breeze, and the rustling sound of the leaves was like the tide rippling through the mountains. Compared with the chaotic outside world, this place was as harmonious as a paradise.

The birds flying in the forest, the small animals moving among the branches, and even the caterpillars gnawing on the leaves in the bright sunshine all speak of the tranquility of this isolated place.

"I haven't been to the Xiangyu Sect for many years. Suddenly, I feel a sense of strangeness."

Under the huge trees about a hundred feet high, monks in blue and white robes walked along the path paved with white stone slabs towards the mountain. There were white star emblems on their blue sleeves. These people were the members of the "Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion".

After learning that the Xiangyu Sect was about to reopen its mountain gates, they sent a team of about sixty people to pay a visit. Each of them was a true disciple of the Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion, and there were two core members of the eighth-level "Ascendance Realm" leading the team.

On the other side of the mountain, which is also the main road of the Xiangyu Sect, a group of people in black official uniforms also climbed up the stairs. Some of them kept pointing out the surrounding scenery and telling and introducing the situation of the Xiangyu Sect.

"Your Highness Dengchan, this mountainous area is the headquarters of the Xiangyu Sect..."

In the center of the crowd, a tall man was surrounded by everyone and received all kinds of compliments. He was wearing a black robe with dragon patterns. He was the third son of the current King Dai, Heng Dengchan.

He was sent here after King Dai decided to recruit and subdue the Xiangyu Sect, and brought with him many other masters who had already defected to King Dai. Among them were even true disciples of the 'Longshu Xuejie Sect' and the 'Zhu Zhan Huolianyuan', and even three eighth-level 'ascension realm' transcendents. It can be said that he spent a lot of money. You must know that now on the battlefield of Tianfeng Pass, King Dai's side only has five eighth-level beings, and there are three in this team.

At the end of the high mountains, in the center of the layers of yellow woods, there stand exquisite yellow wooden palaces and pavilions, in which disciples wearing yellow feather gauze robes walk. In the central palace, there are thousands of true disciples gathered. Now, their eyes are focused on the gorgeous woman kneeling on the high platform in the center, and they are extremely quiet.

"I'm sorry to call you all here today, but the world has changed..." Jinhua, who had a scarlet petal mark on her forehead, now looked very weak, and her beautiful face was pale.

The leader of the Zhuo Ri Huang Yu Sect is in a very bad condition at the moment, one could even say his condition is precarious, and it all started five years ago.

Very early on, the Zhuo Ri Huang Yu Sect had sensed the abnormality of the dynasty and something was amiss with Chi Feng. Unlike other factions, it had not been difficult for their branch to contact Chi Feng in the past. So when Loran Hill went to Luo Jing that year, everyone thought they would meet His Majesty Chi Feng.

But unfortunately, Loran Hill did not see it. Although he could explain it by saying that something strange had happened in the world and Chi Feng was too weak to see outsiders, the seeds of suspicion were still planted.

In the early days of the dynasty, the Xiangyu Sect, as the representative of the Yellow Phoenix, had many collaborations with the dynasty, and therefore had a large number of connections and relationship networks in the dynasty. For example, the Imperial Observatory was controlled by the Xiangyu Sect's branch, the Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion, the Qiumu Tonglong Valley that suppressed the Yellow Sand Abyss, and the Ningzi Zhaoye Palace that guarded the sunset mountains. The Xiangyu Sect, which had many connections in the Spring Officialdom, later began to secretly investigate the matter of the Red Phoenix, which was finally discovered by the emperor at that time.

At that time, the emperor was furious and executed hundreds of officials from the Chunguansi. He also reshuffled several institutions under the Chunguansi and issued an edict to question the current leader of the Xiangyu Sect and asked Jinhua to go to Luojing to apologize.

Faced with such a brutal and furious king, Jin Hua had to consider the safety of the numerous disciples in the sect. She had to restrain everyone and prepare to go to Luojing alone. However, this decision was rejected by Gu Lie. He believed that he must not go to Luojing to apologize. This would not only threaten Jin Hua's own safety, but also the reputation of the Xiangyu Sect for many years.

"It's not our fault, why are you apologizing? Don't you know, senior sister, that if you go there and admit your guilt, you will lose every step of the way?" Gu Lie strongly objected at that time.

"But now it's not a matter of my personal safety and reputation. We must consider how the faction will respond to the emperor's wrath." The two argued over this.

Later, with repeated quarrels, the conflict began to escalate, so that Gu Lie finally recalled many disciples of the Qianlong lineage in the sect, set up a large formation in the mountains to block the communication between the inside and the outside, and sealed the exit of the sect's secret realm. He ordered other unrelated disciples to practice with peace of mind and not to interfere or participate in the disputes within the sect.

Faced with such a situation, the formation could not be broken unless one forced their way in and killed people. Jin Hua wanted to confess in order to protect the disciples in the sect, and it was impossible for him to harm the fellow disciples who set up the formation. In the end, he was trapped in the mountains.

Seeing that the Xiangyu Sect had not responded for a long time, the emperor sent another envoy to the Xiangyu Sect to question the sect. Na Rigu Lie wanted to lead his men to kill the imperial envoy on the spot, but in the end he did not kill him out of consideration for Jin Hua's worries. However, in the end, the envoy team was detained and subdued on the spot.

Seeing that the conflict was irreversible, Jinhua could only sigh. She then summoned the envoy, explained the reason to him in person, and gave up her own cultivation, hoping that the emperor would forgive her sins.

Afterwards, the envoy returned to Luojing with a stone recording the scene of that day and a letter with words. After thinking for a long time, the emperor probably thought that it would be disadvantageous to make a big fuss, so he let the matter go. He only ordered the Xiangyu Sect to close the mountain for a hundred years and not to recruit new disciples.

Although the punishment was given, conflicts within the sect had already occurred. Gu Lie refused to accept it and left the Xiangyu Sect with many of his fellow disciples and went to the "Autumn Bronze Dragon Valley" far away in Dongzhou. That was another branch of the Xiangyu Sect, and most of the disciples in the sect were from the Qianlong lineage, and they shared the same ideals as him.
