Mount Heng belonged to the Southern Peak. It was famous for its beauty. On top of the mountains, there were lush trees and flowers. As the wind blew, countless old trees swayed as if welcoming guests from afar. Those exotic flowers decorated the mountains, adding to the dazzling colors.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a flourishing incense as believers came and went. On the mountainside, there were exotic flowers, fruits, birds, and beasts. There were also Mount Heng Sect disciples practicing martial arts. Immortal mist lingered on the mountaintop, and one could vaguely see the surging light in the caves.
Mount Heng had eighty-one mountains. They connected together to form an ancient mountain range. Looking down from above, these eighty-one mountains were like gourds gathering cauldrons. It was a natural blessed land for gathering Qi. Those who lived here and nearby would be nourished by the Xuan Qi, invisibly increasing their lifespan. This was also known as the Longevity Gourd Immortal Land.
The ancestor of the first sect of Mount Heng Sect was extremely experienced and found this place to cultivate. If this territory was a bit bigger, it would definitely help Mount Heng Sect become a major power.
Unfortunately, the Black Water Tribe was in the north, and the Demon Tribe was eyeing the south. Mount Heng Sect had to protect the peace of this area. Every year, they lost many geniuses, which hindered their development. They had no choice but to join forces with the other four peaks.
The flying boat was put away by Yang Hongchang. Everyone descended outside Mount Heng Sect.
No matter who arrived at Mount Heng, they were not allowed to fly over the mountain. That would be seen as a provocation to Mount Heng Sect and would be attacked.
"Heavenly King Wu, are you selling the Murderous Sound Conch?" Yue Xin asked with anticipation.
"Haha, do you still think I'm the noob from before?" Yang Wu laughed. After a pause, he said, "The Murderous Sound Conch can only be used by the Water Tribe. We humans can't use it, but as long as we learn the Water Tribe's playing method, we can use the Murderous Sound Conch. Am I right?"
Yue Xin laughed bitterly. "I didn't expect you to memorize the explanation in the book so quickly. Not bad, but you don't have the playing method."
"This playing method shouldn't be difficult, right?" Yang Wu looked at the others and asked.
Yang Jie jumped out and answered, "The musicians wrote this playing method into a sound dao battle manual. Although it's not easy to find, as long as you have something good, you can definitely exchange it."
Gu Xi said from the side, "Mount Heng Sect is very knowledgeable about music. I heard that they have many Water Tribe's playing methods."
Yue Xin nodded and revealed an envious expression, "That's right. That's why I asked Martial Heavenly King if he would sell the Murderous Sound Conch. This Murderous Sound Conch is rare even among the water races. Every one of them is very important.
"Ha ha, that's good. I don't think your sect would mind giving me a flute technique, right?" Yang Wu laughed loudly.
................................
They arrived at the Mount Heng Sect.
In front of the sect, there was a jade stele eight hundred and eighty feet tall with the ancient words "Mount Heng Sect" carved on it. The words were written in a flamboyant style and emitted waves of multicolored light, revealing the sect's grandeur in front of everyone. There were nine hundred and ninety-nine steps leading to the clouds. There were dao children standing in front of the sect.
The Mount Heng Sect was a sword sect, but they also believed in Daoism. Most of the people studied Daoism. The dao children here were the successors of the sect that had been trained since they were young. They were about eleven or twelve years old, but their strength had reached the Human General Realm. They were only dao children on the surface, but there were still experts from the Mount Heng Sect protecting them in the dark.
The two dao children saw Yue Xin and greeted him. "Greetings, Senior Brother Yue."
Yue Xin returned the greeting. "I'll bring these guests back to the sect."
"Senior Brother, this way please!" The dao children responded politely.
Yue Xin led everyone up the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. There were young disciples sweeping the floor on the steps. When they saw Yue Xin, they all called him Senior Brother. Yue Xin returned the greeting one by one.
Yue Xin introduced, "This is our Mount Heng Sect's staircase. After you pass through here, it means that you've entered our Mount Heng Sect. Everything must be done according to our Mount Heng Sect's rules. I can only bring everyone to the outer sect. If I want to bring you into the inner sect, I must report to the inner sect deacon. You can only enter after obtaining permission. However, we're only passing through, so the outer sect is fine."
Everyone nodded in agreement, understanding Yue Xin's difficulties.
The nine hundred and ninety-nine steps were very difficult for normal people to climb to the top in one go. However, it wasn't difficult for Yang Wu and the others. They quickly reached the top of the steps. Looking around, they saw many ancient buildings and daoist temples. In front of each ancient building and daoist temple, there were ancient cauldrons burning incense, consecrating the heavens and earth. There were dao disciples continuously receiving pilgrims.
It was a rather impressive sight. Yue Xin led everyone to the forbidden area of the outer sect. That was a place that no one could approach. After they passed through several rows of ancient buildings, there were fewer and fewer people. The people coming and going were all disciples of the Mount Heng Sect. They were holding swords in their hands as they refined their swords. There were also people flying around with battle spears. Most of them were fourteen or fifteen year old youths.
Yang Wu curiously sized them up. He found that they were all doing basic cultivation. There were many cultivation tools to assist them and there were also elders guiding them. Their starting point was who knows how many times better than the youths in the outside world.
This place still wasn't the center of the outer sect. It was just the front yard. After they passed through a forest, they finally saw a place that looked like a town. The buildings here stood tall on the mountain walls. They were built in rows, appearing extremely neat and tidy. At a glance, there were at least a thousand buildings of different sizes. There were at least ten thousand people living here.
Yang Wu understood that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the outer sect. This was because any first-rate faction would have over a hundred thousand disciples. For an ancient sect like the Mount Heng Sect, there were more than a hundred thousand disciples. There were at least several hundred thousand disciples scattered all over the Xiangjiang region.
After arriving here, Yue Xin had to show his disciple token. Moreover, he couldn't take Yang Wu and the others anywhere. He could only have them wait in the guest building of the outer sect. Everything had to be reported to the deacon of the outer sect before they could pass through here.
Yue Xin called for a dao disciple to receive Yang Wu and the others. He quickly went to find the deacon in charge to explain this matter.
Yang Hongchang said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "I, a dignified disciple of the Yang Clan, am going out. The deacon of the Mount Heng Sect should come out to receive me."
"Seventh Uncle, this isn't our Yang Family City," Yang Jie reminded.
"Fourth Brother is an inner sect disciple. It's already pretty good that he was able to bring us here." Li Xiao spoke up for Yue Xin.
"Yes, we're not in a hurry." Yang Wu nodded lightly.
Not long after, Yue Xin hurried over. His expression didn't seem too good. He said gloomily, "I'm sorry, I can't use the spatial gate."
Everyone was shocked. Yang Hongchang even said loudly, "Little friend Yue Xin, what's going on?"
"The deacon guarding the spatial gate said that our Mount Heng Sect received a request for help from the White Water Clan. He wants us to help the White Water Clan solve their problem first before we can use the spatial gate." Yue Xin explained. He then added, "Actually, some senior brothers want to force me to participate in this matter. They want me to throw my life away."
Yue Xin was very unwilling. He was an inner sect disciple, but his position in the inner sect wasn't high. He had once offended someone, and that person's martial uncle was the deacon guarding the spatial gate.
No matter how good a place's reputation was, as long as there were people, there would be internal strife. This was an eternal topic of the human race.
"Since it's like this, we'll think of another way." Yang Wu didn't want to make things difficult for Yue Xin.
Yang Hongchang said loudly, "I'll do it. I believe that my Yang Clan still has some face. As long as we hand over enough Xuan Spirit Stones, it shouldn't be a problem to let us pass."
At this time, a voice came from outside. "Junior Brother Yue, the people you brought are really arrogant. My Mount Heng Sect can let anyone pass, but the people you brought are definitely not allowed."
Immediately after, several young people appeared in front of the entrance of the hall. They were all disciples of the Heng Mountain Sect. The one who had just spoken was the young man in the middle. He was dressed in a blue robe and had a long sword strapped to his back. His two raised eyebrows were raised high, and his domineering appearance was unmistakable.
Lv Zhihai, one of the inner sect disciples of the Mount Heng Sect. He was over thirty years old and couldn't participate in the battle for the Heavenly King Ranking in the shattered space.
"Senior Brother Lv, why do you have to be like this? My friends are just passing through. If this little brother has done anything wrong in the past, I'll apologize to you." Yue Xin lowered his attitude towards Lv Zhihai.
Lv Zhihai didn't respond to Yue Xin's words. His gaze fell on Yang Wu and the others. He didn't recognize Yang Wu and the others, so he pointed at Yang Wu and the others and shouted, "I don't care who you are, get out of here immediately."
Lv Zhihai acted like he was the master and didn't put Yang Wu and the others in his eyes at all.
Everyone was furious, especially Yang Hongchang, who shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Quickly call your deacon over. Since when did a junior like you have the right to scold our Yang family? If it was outside, I would have cut off your head right now."
Lv Zhihai narrowed his eyes and said, "Haha, you really have guts. You actually dare to threaten us in the sect. You really don't know how to write the word 'death'." In the next moment, he shouted, "Where are the law enforcement deacons? There are intruders. Please quickly come and apprehend them."
"Senior Brother Lv, don't force me!" Yue Xin angrily glared at Lv Zhihai and shouted.
"So what if I force you?" Lv Zhihai sneered.
"They are my friends. I won't allow them to be wronged. I'll go get my master right now!" Yue Xin clenched his teeth and said.
"That depends on whether or not you have the ability." Lv Zhihai didn't care at all. He knew that Yue Xin's master had always ignored Yue Xin, so he didn't take this threat to heart.
"If we knew that the Heng Mountain Sect would be like this, we wouldn't have entered." Yang Hongchang said. He paused for a moment and then said, "Let's go. We'll get our revenge in the future."
Who knew that before they could walk out, a group of people blocked their path. It was the Heng Mountain Sect's law enforcement team.
"Where are the intruders?" The leader of the law enforcement team shouted.
"Old Lu, it's you!" Yang Hongchang happily shouted after seeing this person.
