Chapter 40 Bright Summit
The Kunlun Mountains are located in the remote border region of China, where there are few martial arts forces. The major forces are led by the Ming Cult, while the Kunlun Sect keeps a low profile. There is also a small force called Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor in the middle.
Just as Xiao Ning and Zhang Cuishan entered Shahe Store, Yang Xiao on Bright Peak had already received the news.
Bright Summit, Sacred Flame Palace.
A middle-aged scholar dressed in a white coarse cloth robe sat in the head seat. He appeared to be around forty years old, with a handsome appearance, but his eyebrows drooped slightly and a few deep wrinkles appeared around his mouth, giving him a somewhat aged and sorrowful look.
He remained silent and motionless, his expression indifferent, as if his mind was wandering far away, pondering something. This man was none other than Yang Xiao, the Left Guardian of the Ming Cult.
Below, a Fengmen disciple bowed and reported: "...Those two seem to have come from the Central Plains and possess martial arts skills. I dare not make contact with them without permission from the main altar. Please give instructions, Left Envoy Yang!"
After Yang Dingtian disappeared, Yang Xiao seized sole power in the Ming Cult, claiming that he had mastered the first two levels of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
The Four Dharma Kings, the Five Wanderers, the Five Banner Envoys, and others disliked him and all left Bright Peak.
After the disciple finished speaking, Yang Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and his cold voice rang out, as if he were talking to himself: "A young man with a teenager? They seem to be from the Central Plains?"
Then, a glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the disciple below and asked, "What have they done since they arrived at Shahedian?"
The disciple thought for a moment and replied, "Reporting to the Left Envoy, after they arrived at Shahe Inn, they happened to find an inn in the sect to stay at. According to the disciples in the sect who were disguised as innkeepers, they seem to be looking for the whereabouts of Bright Peak!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao sneered disdainfully: "Oh? Searching for the whereabouts of Bright Peak? Could it be that these two are disciples from those so-called prestigious sects? Do they want to seek justice from my Ming Cult? Ha!"
Hearing this, the disciple dared not reply.
Yang Xiao's voice rang out again: "Give the order to keep a close watch. If they make any rash moves, arrest them and bring them up the mountain. I want to see what kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to plot against my Holy Sect."
"Yes, sir!"
………………
Xiao Ning brought Zhang Cuishan to Kunlun Mountain with the purpose of entering the forbidden secret passage of the Ming Cult to retrieve Yang Dingtian's last words and the Ming Cult's supreme martial art, "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".
The forbidden area of the Ming Cult is where the leaders of the Ming Cult have passed away. It can be said that no one in the Ming Cult is allowed to enter it unless permitted by the current leader.
After Yang Dingtian entered the forbidden area and never came out again, the entrance to the forbidden area could no longer be found.
After all, the entrance to the forbidden area was always known only to the leader of the Ming Cult, and no one in the Ming Cult knew about it after Yang Dingtian's unexpected death.
However, Xiao Ning knew one thing: the entrance to the forbidden area was on Bright Peak, and the exit should be halfway up the mountain, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Besides serving as the tomb of the cult leader, this forbidden area was also the last escape route prepared by the Ming Cult's predecessors for future generations.
After all, although Bright Peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as the saying goes, even the most fortified city can be breached, let alone Bright Peak, the headquarters of the Ming Cult.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Ming Cult from being wiped out one day, the far-sighted predecessors of the Ming Cult had long ago prepared an escape route for the Ming Cult.
Since it is a route of escape, the fewer people who know about it, the better. It should even be designated as a forbidden area, with only the leaders of each generation knowing the location of the entrance to the secret passage.
Although Xiao Ning knew the location of the entrance, he could not simply swagger up to Bright Peak and enter the forbidden area through the entrance.
Besides, where there is an entrance, there is also an exit. There is another place to enter, which is the exit of the forbidden area.
Xiao Ning still remembered that in the original novel, Cheng Kun always entered the Ming Cult's forbidden area through the exit.
There's no reason why you, Cheng Kun, can get in while I, Xiao Ning, can't.
More than half a month later, Zhang Cuishan hurriedly returned to report, saying, "Uncle-Master, I have found the location of Bright Peak!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "Oh, how did you find Cuishan?"
Zhang Cuishan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "After we started investigating Bright Peak, I noticed something was wrong. At first, I didn't pay attention, but after observing carefully, I found that someone was indeed monitoring us."
"Later, the disciple tracked down these people and discovered that they were actually members of the Ming Cult."
“Recently, I noticed that a leader was about to go out, so I followed him. Unexpectedly, he was heading to Bright Summit. So I followed him from a distance to the foot of Bright Summit.”
"After confirming the direction of Bright Peak, I dared not act on my own, for fear of alerting the enemy, so I returned to report to my master."
Zhang Cuishan finished speaking in one breath and then drank a large cup of tea.
Xiao Ning nodded and praised, "Cuishan, you've worked hard these past few days. Go back and rest for a while. I'm going out for a bit."
Now that the location of Bright Peak is known, finding the exit of the Ming Cult's forbidden area is much simpler. However, this is something that can only be done personally, and it is not good to entrust it to others. Besides, Xiao Ning is also afraid that Zhang Cuishan's actions are not discreet and that the Ming Cult members will discover their whereabouts.
After giving his instructions, Xiao Ning found Bright Peak according to the location Zhang Cuishan had given him. After taking a quick look from afar, he disappeared into the back of Bright Peak.
A figure sped through the forest at an astonishing speed, quickly reaching the mountainside.
