Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 927 - 479: Cloudbeyond Alchemy Hall

Every move by the Old Xuan Sect cannot be taken lightly.

Tang Tong had lingered at the foot of Wangwu Mountain for so long, yet on the very day Tie Dan arrived, there was a home raid and a beating. That Gate Valve Family nurtured six or seven Mountain Men as Tribute, yet today it was the Outer Door disciples of Yantai Temple leading the charge, falling victim to bad luck eight generations over, dying unjustly under Tie Dan’s sword.

However, it was precisely such a coincidence that Sect Leader appeared, using the karma from this event to intercept midway, blocking Tie Dan at the doorway, preventing him from delivering the letter to Qingtang Sect. Indirectly, he shielded his wife and Daoist companion from a murderous calamity.

You might say Tie Dan was overthinking, that it was purely a coincidence.

But Tie Dan trust no one.

Thus he believed, this was not a coincidence.

So had he been a little late, or hesitated without intervening, chances are Tang Tong would have been beaten to death today...

"Oh, oh, this tea is good. You’re really not going to take a sip?"

As Moonlight Condensed Green entered his mouth, Tang Tong shivered all over, couldn’t help but exclaim "Oh!"

"You drink yours, I’m the Sect Leader, what mountain and sea delicacies haven’t I tasted, they’re all the same."

Tie Dan snorted coldly, gazing into the distance at the Immortal Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

It’s hard indeed, no wonder even Lingxu specially arranged him to deliver this letter, with a Daoist Lord obstructing, this mission looks difficult.

"Is there any way to sneak into Qingtang Sect?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tang Tong nearly choked to death,

"Are you crazy! The aggrieved have already come knocking and you’re still thinking of messing around with someone’s wife! Lust carries a sharp blade above the head, Dan!"

Tie Dan was speechless too,

"What are you thinking? I was just entrusted by someone to meet them.

I suppose the Daoist Lord’s bedroom is off-limits, where’s Qingtang Sect’s sect located?

Are there any other sects around here where one can secretly sneak in through a small path?

You have many pen pals in the mountains, you should know best, right?"

Tang Tong sighed,

"Red is an ill omen, though understandable; after all, Qingtang Sect Master was once a figure that dominated the Immortal List, no wonder you are enchanted by her, Dan.

This longing, unable to extricate oneself, desperate to meet despite obstacles, I can understand. We’re brothers, I’ll definitely assist you."

Tie Dan gave him a sideways glance, opting not to correct him for now to avoid interrupting his thoughts.

Tang Tong pondered while sipping tea,

"Though probing into Qingtang Sect is indeed difficult. If it were just a rendezvous in the outer mountain, it wouldn’t matter, but the Sect Master must be in secluded cultivation in the forbidden areas of the Inner Mountain.

According to my senior sisters, Ancestor Qingtan was driven by certain stimuli back then, specifically establishing the sect on Glazed Cliff within the Glazed Pure Realm Cave Heaven.

That place is a solitary mountain and cliff sculpted from a large natural piece of glazed jade, surrounded by sheer cliffs, with no secret paths to approach. Once climbing or flying towards it, with no hiding place, you’ll inevitably be discovered.

Moreover, Ancestor Qingtan carved out within the Qi Cave on the cliff top, an extremely dark and deep winding path, filled with numerous mechanisms, much calculations involved, only known to Qingtang Inner Sect True Disciples for accessing the interior sect paths.

In these years, countless young talents have tried sneaking into Qingtang Sect for clandestine meetings with their Junior Sister. Even if predecessors succeeded, loopholes were likely patched. Especially with the Mountain Lord Daoist Monarch nearby as protector, it’s like climbing into the sky."

Tie Dan was curious,

"No other secret paths? With such complicated in-and-out procedures, if someone besieged the mountain, blocking the gaps, both above and below, wouldn’t that lead to annihilation?"

Tang Tong glanced sideways too,

"In such a large place as Wangwu Mountain, with so many people, how would it be possible to let fellow Daoists be surrounded and attacked by outsiders, not offering help?

Once it reaches the point where even Glazed Cliff is attacked, that’s already a life-and-death crisis for Mystic Sect."

Not necessarily, perhaps those besieging them aren’t outsiders...

Tang Tong contemplated hard,

"The more I think of it, outsiders simply have no knowledge of the specifics of the Inner Sect, pondering won’t help.

The ideal would be a willing Inner Sect disciple acting as a mole, guiding you inside, which seems most convenient.

Unfortunately, those pen pals of mine are mere acquaintances, brief encounters, unlikely to break sect rules for such deeds..."

Tie Dan, "Oh, I know someone, saved her once in the Icefield, she should be back recovering, though unsure if she advanced to the Inner Sect."

Tang Tong smirked,

"Oh, Dan? Seems like you have more than a casual connection with Qingtang, with involvement of sect master, elders, and disciples here and there, greedy for more, naughty you~~

Which Senior Sister is it? Maybe I know her, sending a message for a chat shouldn’t be hard."

Tie Dan frowned, "Don’t remember her name."

Tang Tong looked sceptical,

"...You do know the Sect Master and elders, right? Not just dreamt it?

Heard there are numerous Primordial Spirit Illusion Techniques on the black market, specially crafted for cultivation alongside Qingtang Sect Master and elders..."

Tie Dan glared at him, striving to recall,

"Seems like her name is Yuanzhi or something, I didn’t pay much attention."

Tang Tong was taken aback, 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Yuanzhi? Xing Yuanzhi?"

Tie Dan clapped,

"Yes, yes, that’s her, Old Tang, your connections are impressive, knowing everyone!"

Tang Tong frowned,

"Troublesome indeed; it’s Xing Yuanzhi..."

Tie Dan was intrigued,

"What’s troublesome, is she dead?"

Tang Tong shook his head,

"She’s not dead, but the issue is bigger. She’s accomplished repeatedly, regarded as sect leader’s likely successor.

However, her solitary nature and prominence have invoked envy, leading to isolation by peers, with no one speaking to her."
