The Kunlun Sect, with over twenty Sword Immortals and accompanied by Sha Hongyan, Sha Liang, and Wu Changshan, still appeared too thin in numbers against the stretch of West Pole Mountain, with its countless peaks soaring skyward for thousands of miles across the north and south. Nonetheless, there was no choice; they had to give it a try at this critical juncture.
The Orthodox Mysterious Sect valued diplomacy before resorting to arms. Mr. Zhong first sent Yu Xiao with a formal letter of introduction, to present their identities and declare their intentions, stating their goal was to retrieve the Heavenly Treasure Mirror.
The West Pole Sect naturally objected. Hearing that the Kunlun Sect was mounting a significant offensive, they took it very seriously. All five Elders appeared, sitting in a line upon the Lotus Thrones, each backed by over a thousand Cultivators and followers, who stood on lotuses fanned out behind them, confrontationally opposed to the Kunlun Sect.
