Under the soft moonlight shining down on the forest, the earth was covered with a layer of mysterious silvery-white light. A belt of water with moonlight shining on it silently moved within the forest like a silver dragon. It kept changing its posture as it rapidly headed towards the Sage Collection Hall.

The sanctuary was a total of six stories high, around ten zhang tall. It had a double eaves and was even more imposing. The pavilion was shaped like a "Return". Wudang Sect resided in the east, Kunlun in the west, Emei in the south, Dian Cang in the north and Shaolin in the middle.

The silver ribbon stopped at the west wing, where the Kunlun Sect resided. It slightly tilted its head, as if it was waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, a disciple on duty saw that there was a strange object moving nearby. He thought that his eyes had gone blurry and rubbed his eyes, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was something shaking, like a snake but not like a snake. The disciple was a bit afraid and shouted: "Look, what is that glowing thing moving?"

As he shouted, the disciples on duty all looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, in front of them, there was a soft, ribbon-like object slowly approaching.

"Let's go and take a look." As he said that, the several disciples on duty all drew their swords, heading towards the silver light.

Only one room was still lit. Under the dim yellow light, an old man in a gray robe was playing chess alone. It was already late at night and he was feeling tired, so he just yawned a few times.

"At this moment, the enemy and I are engaged in an intense battle, how can I stop?" The old man mumbled to himself.

He stood up, stretched his arms a little, patted his sore arms, and sat down again.

"Hmph, how can a few sleepyheads make me retreat?"

It turned out that the old man playing chess alone was the Karakorum's Sect Leader, Daoist Zixi.

Daoist Zixi raised her spirits once again and picked up a white chess piece from the chess box beside her. She stared at the chessboard that was already filled to the brim, not knowing how to throw it.

"We have still not been able to determine the victor even after fighting till now. This really puts the old me in a difficult position!"

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

"Master, master?"

Zi Xi was hesitating when she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door. She couldn't help but frown as she replied, "Dao Chen, it's so late. What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Master, when I was on my patrol just now, I saw that Master's room was still lit. I knew Master must have been a chess player, so I specially brewed a cup of tea for Master to use when he woke up."

"Yes." "Come in." Zixi was still staring at the chessboard.

The door opened and a pale-faced Daoist carefully walked in. He respectfully placed the teacup in his hand in front of Daoist Zixi's table. The aroma of the tea instantly filled the entire room.

Smelling this refreshing fragrance, Zi Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath. She slowly put down the chess piece in her hand and asked, "This tea is so fragrant. What kind of tea is it?"

"Master, this tea came from the Black Dragon from Fresh Breeze Town."

"Oh?"

Zi Xi looked puzzledly at Dao Chen and asked, "You have always been by my side. When did you go to Fresh Breeze Town?"

"This …" Dao Chen hesitated slightly before replying, "In reply to Master, when I came to Ying Prefecture, I met an old friend. This tea was given to me by that old friend."

Hearing him say this, Zi Xi Fang recalled that there had indeed been a day when Dao Chen was not by his side. From his words, it seemed that he had gone to see his old friend.

The aroma of the tea constantly disturbed Zi Xi's thoughts. Zi Xi picked up the teacup and shook it a little, thinking to herself that Wu Long had naturally drunk it before, but she felt that the smell of the oolong tea today was slightly different from before. Although its color was not as good as before, the smell was a little richer.

"Since it's the tea from Fresh Breeze Town, I have to taste it well." With that, he waved to the disciple. "It's getting late, you should go rest first."

"Yes, Master." The Daoist disciple revealed an unnoticeable smile and gave a deep bow before turning around and walking out the door.

Zixi sipped her tea and sipped slowly.

"Un, good tea indeed. It truly has a long and endless flavor!"

He put down the cup of tea and used his hand to pick up a couple of his moustaches. With his sleeves raised, he leaned forward slightly and picked up a black chess piece from the chess box. At this time, he saw that the fingers holding onto Blackie suddenly stopped, "Hey, look at my brain." He shook his head with a smile and said, "I drank a mouthful of tea and lost my mind. Why are you making a fool of yourself?"

After saying that, he threw Hei Zi back into the chess box and searched for his box. He picked up another white piece and started thinking as he looked at the chess board. The board was filled with chess pieces, but there was still no clear winner. Daoist Zixi was lost in thought as she gazed at the chessboard when the knock on the door sounded again.

Another knock on the door interrupted her train of thoughts. Daoist Zixi asked with slight annoyance, "Daochen, is there anything else?"

"Master, I am a Daoist letter."

"Dao letter?" Why are you looking for me so late at night? " Zi Xi said as she placed the chess piece on the board.

"Reporting to Master, there is a young servant outside the door seeking to see Master."

"Oh?" Daoist Zixi picked up another black piece, stared at the chessboard, and indifferently asked, "Do you know what the name of that servant is?"

"That manservant called himself Yu Wu Hen."

"Oh?!"

Upon hearing the three words' Yu Wu Hen ', Daoist Zixi's eyes immediately lit up. He hastily arranged his clothes and said to the Daoist letter outside, "Quick, invite him in!"

"Yes, Master."

Of course, Daoist Zixi had heard of Yu Wu Hen's name before. He had entered the martial arts world not long ago and was able to spread his name to the north and south of the world. He was young and had godly martial arts skills. This was a good opportunity. He didn't expect Yu Wuhen to come knocking on his door of his own accord. Of course, this made Zi Xi overjoyed.

"If we can win him over to our side, then the day when the Karakorum can unite the martial arts world will be near at hand." Zixi narrowed her eyes and began to calculate.

After a while, the Daoist letter brought Yu Wu Hen to his room. Zi Xi waved her hand at the Daoist letter, and the Daoist letter bowed slightly towards Zi Xi. Then, it exited the room and closed the door.

Taoist Zi Xi looked at Yu Wu Hen for a moment before suddenly extending her hand to grab both of his hands. She could not help but praise loudly, "Aiya, I've long heard of Brother Yu's great name. Today, I've seen a dragon among men!"

Daoist Zixi approached Yu Wu Hen as soon as he arrived. Yu Wu Hen smiled and retracted his hands. He cupped his hands towards Zixi and said, "Sect Leader Zixi, junior is here to inform senior of a matter."

"Brother Yu, come, come. Sit down and chat."

Daoist Zixi sat down, and pointed to the chair opposite him as she spoke to Yu Wu Hen.

"Sect Leader Zixi, there is no need to be courteous. I was really forced to intrude on you. I will leave as soon as I finish speaking."

"Oh, then tell me about it?"

Seeing how Yu Wuhen did not appreciate his kindness, Daoist Zixi's passionate expression retreated a little.

"Leader Zixi, may I ask if the disciples of your sect still reside in Yingtou Village?"

"How is this possible? Our sect's disciples have long since followed our sect's master to the Sacred Assembling Pavilion. Our sect's disciples are nowhere to be found." Saying this, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I wonder why Brother Yu is asking this?"

Hearing Yu Wushang's words, Zi Xi felt that something was amiss. She turned to look at Yu Wuhen, "There must be some secret behind this. There's no time to lose, we must inform Manor Lord Lei about this matter …"

Just as he said that, he saw Daoist Zixi's eyes suddenly widened. She painfully clutched at her chest as she vomited large mouthfuls of blood. Her body slanted to the ground.
