One year later, Mount Yuelu.
West looking over Yuelu, east facing the ancient city.
This mountain's location is exceptionally favored by nature; occasionally, one might see Taoists fetching water or chopping wood, or sitting atop rocks to practice their breathing exercises.
This is the headquarters of the White Emperor Sect, where, apart from Li Jianxing who roamed the world, all the upper echelons of the sect resided.
Halfway up the mountain, Peach Blossom Hermitage was where Xie Miao of the Kun Path dwelled.
Creak!
The hermitage door gently opened, and a woman with sleep-filled eyes stepped outside.
Half a year ago, Xie Miao had dissolved the White Lotus Sect and brought those who followed her here to settle.
Thus, the White Lotus Sect, which had lasted a thousand years, vanished from the river of history without a fight.
It was, in essence, an act of reading the times. With Xu Yong controlling the south, the White Lotus Sect was bound to be exterminated.
