Ye Rong didn't want to make a fool of himself. Even if the Wudang Mountain Gate didn't attack him out of respect for them being fellow disciples of the Righteous Path, it would be very embarrassing if the Wudang disciples captured a picture of him and posted it on the forum. It would completely ruin his reputation as One Sword Withering and Prosperity.
"I, a disciple of Qingcheng, Jian Gu Rong, have come to pay my respects to the Half-side Divine Nun."
He shouted this loudly, and the sound echoed through the mountains, heading straight towards Wudang Mountain.
The sect elder who gave him the letter had not told him how to contact the Half-sided Old Nun. So, he had to resort to this primitive method; he hoped that shouting like this outside Wudang Mountain would be heard by the Half-sided Old Nun.
After shouting three times and receiving no response, numerous birds were startled instead.
