Good heavens!
Li Yan was indeed a bit surprised.
The renowned Wushan, he naturally already knew of it.
Stretching across the Three Gorges, it's a convergence of numerous loose cultivators, akin to cutting off Mystic Sect's Qi Fortune, making it difficult for Shu and Hubei provinces to unite.
The reasons are quite complex.
Some Magic Veins do not wish to see the growth of the orthodox sect, so they secretly support it.
He just didn't expect to encounter one as soon as he ascended the mountain.
However, Li Yan did not rush to take action.
After all, their main mission for this mountain ascent was to steal the Life Plates of two girls, ensuring an element of surprise.
If the grass is disturbed, the other party would surely use the Life Plates as leverage.
He could forcibly make a move, but then the two children would suffer.
