Chapter 156 Closed-Door Training (2)
While Gu Yangji was in closed-door training, Bai Danxian abandoned his usual practice and focused on strengthening ties with other sects.
Harmony with Taoist and Buddhist sects, distinct from the Martial Alliance.
Though they all walked the righteous path, their methods differed—something that would have been impossible in the past.
However, as the Huashan Sect cultivated friendships with the Shaolin Temple, Zhongnan, and the Wudang Sect, it became easier to grow close to other Taoist sects as well.
Yang Zhixian, the Qingyun Fist Hero who had clashed with Gu Yangjie during the Nine Dragons War, raised his voice particularly.
“The martial world is in turmoil because of that rogue, the Eight Palms! Groups hiding their ambitions are rising one after another! How can we just stand by and watch the Immortal Realm?”
At first, some pointed out Yang Zhixian’s impetuousness.
However, as the Black Dragon Sect, the successor to the Black Path Sect, began to flourish, and they joined hands with the Sichuan Sect, the head of the Joint Sect, Bai Xianzhe, spoke up.
“The Joint Sect wished to remain detached from the ways of the martial world, but we will no longer stand idly by while you create chaos!”
Chaos in the martial world.
As the realm began to fragment around the Houguang Sect, the Hebei Pang Clan, the Nangong Clan, and the Zhuge Clan immediately joined forces.
They declared themselves friendly factions unrelated to the Martial Alliance… yet few truly believed it.
