Under the leadership of Ye Feng, tens of thousands of the elite Northern Border soldiers entered the mountain gate, and after ascending the steps, they arrived at the inner guest-reception plaza. Beyond that was the palace, and the powerful voice, resounding like a great bell, had come from this very Guest Welcoming Hall.
At this time, disciples from the Xuan Yin Sect were also gathering continuously. Even the mountain gate had secretly issued orders for disciples outside to rush back urgently. By now, anyone could see that a great battle was likely to ensue between the two sides.
The Xuan Yin Sect's guest-reception plaza wasn't large; it could only accommodate around ten thousand people. However, more and more disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect kept arriving, and eventually, even the surrounding trees and mountaintops were crowded with densely packed disciples, essentially surrounding the more than ten thousand Northern Border soldiers in a besieging manner.
