Vol 2 Chapter 8 (1/2)

Wu Dang Mountain

After many days, with the help of Zhang Ri, Xuan Luo finally arrived at the borders of Wu Dang. But it will still take quite some time for them to arrive at the Master Gate.

The atmosphere of Wu Dang was mysterious and spiritual. The landscape was very charming and gentle. The peaks were sharp and dangerous. Everything felt very grand and majestic. This was how Xuan Luo felt as he looked up the mountain.

On the mountain top, there was a thin layer of cloud and it surrounded the peak of the mountain. Looking at it, it looks as if the mountain created a hole through the clouds.

Along the way, Xuan Luo asked a lot about Wu Dang. The scenery looked like a painting. If one chooses to practice here, it is definitely good for the mind. The air is fresh and life seems to be less complicated.

Wu Dang’s kung fu is quick and mysterious. Wu Dang’s fist spells have been carried down for thousands of years. It mainly uses tai chi, shape meaning, and ba gua. Wu Dang’s fist spells are amongst the best in the world. Their sword spells are also unique in its own ways. It is not inferior to any other Clans.

“The Gate is just up ahead!” Zhang Ri commented as he looked at his familiar surroundings.

Wu Dang’s scenery definitely surprised Xuan Luo. Compared to Qian Deng Zhen, this place looked like a place where immortals lived. The clouds and mists only enhanced the feeling.

“Zhang da ge, where is the evaluation held?” Since they have finally arrived, Xuan Luo cannot hold back any longer. His desired Clan is right in front of him. He’s definitely lying if he says he is not nervous.

“Well, it really depends. All the evaluations are conducted by our Clan Master. I’m going to take you to meet our Clan Master. The procedures of the evaluations are not determined by me.”

Xuan Luo was a little disturbed. Wouldn’t the six big Clans want to recruit disciples? Isn’t new blood required to keep a Clan’s longevity? Thinking, Xuan Luo asked Zhang Ri, “Zhang da ge, do Clans send their people to recruit followers? Isn’t it bad if a Clan has no fresh blood? (fresh blood as in young/new followers)”

Zhang Ri smiled and explained, “Usually, Clans do not go recruit for followers. Most of the time, people already have a Clan in mind that they want to follow. If someone really wants to follow our Clan, they will come to us. Or, sometimes, it’s like our relations.h.i.+p.”

Zhang Ri left out some stuff, but Xuan Luo was able to figure it out on his own. If the Clans sent their disciples to recruit people, then their headquarters will be a lot emptier. If anything were to happen, they would be in big trouble. In addition, the world is so big; if they were to send people to search for followers, there definitely wouldn’t be enough hands.

They walked and talked. The closer they were to the gate, the more Wu Dang disciples they saw. But most of them were not the type to say hi. There were many disciples patrolling, and their main purpose was to check if there were any suspicious people around.

Although Xuan Luo was unaware of Wu Dang’s location, there are some who would be able to find out. Every Clan has their own inside information, and there are many loners from jiang hu who want to practice Martial Arts. Hence, some would choose to secretly go into a big Clan and steal their knowledge. That’s why there are so many disciples around the entrance.

“Zhang s.h.i.+ xiong! You’re back!” A tanned man acknowledged Zhang Ri.

“Haha. Blackie, why are you so free? I don’t think you’re supposed to be patrolling today!”
