3542 Hollow Rise Mountain

“Old Patriarch Yu, this is not necessary,” Feng Jiu raised her hand and said, “We came here today to find out about the origin and purpose of the eight-trigram mirror. May I ask how much Old Patriarch Yu knows?”

Old Patriarch Yu said, “To be honest, I don’t know much about the eight-trigram mirror. My father gave it to me and told me to keep it safe because the Yu clan’s descendants couldn’t take a blood oath with it.”

“But I’ve tried. This eight-trigram mirror can’t accept blood to acknowledge its master,” Feng Jiu replied.

“Ah? Can’t accept blood?” Old Patriarch Yu was stunned. “That’s impossible! That’s what my father told me. It can definitely accept a blood oath, although I really don’t know the specifics.”

Taking a breath, Old Patriarch Yu continued, “Perhaps my father didn’t explain clearly before he passed away, but I remember he once said something.”

“What did he say?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked.

Old Patriarch Yu thought for a moment and said, “He mentioned that this Bagua Mirror is a key that can open the Realm of Void. When I wanted to ask more, he had already…”

He sighed, “However, after all these years, I still don’t know what this Realm of Void is or where it’s located. I was afraid to let anyone know I had this eight-trigram mirror, so I kept it to ward off evil. It wasn’t until it resonated with the moonlight and glowed brightly for the first time that people began to whisper that our Yu family possessed a treasure. And it was from then on that incidents started to happen in our family.”

After hearing what he knew, the two of them realised they didn’t learn very much. Soon after, they bid him farewell.

Yu Chengde sent them off and said, “Master Ling, Madam Ling, if you have a chance to visit in the future, please come to the Yu family as guests.”

Feng Jiu smiled, “Alright.”

Yu Chengde led them to the back mountain of the Yu Manor, where a man named Song Yiping was already waiting. He cupped his fists and said, “Take care.”

“Take care, ” Feng Jiu returned the salute before walking away with Xuanyuan Mo Ze.

Yu Chengde watched as Song Yiping took out a teleportation device. In the next moment, accompanied by a burst of light, the three vanished into thin air…

After Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu stopped moving, they noticed that the scenery had changed. From the Yu Manor’s back mountain, they came to this dense forest with towering trees.

“This is the outskirts of Hollow Rise Mountain. Beyond that is the Ye family’s territory. There are eight reclusive families around Hollow Rise Mountain, including my family and the Song family. Each reclusive family has its own territory here and generally does not cross into others’ unless necessary.”

Song Yiping introduced, leading them forward. “The Ye family specializes in array formations and boundary barriers, and their territory is heavily guarded. But since I come here often, I know how to avoid them. You just need to follow me.”

Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze exchanged glances, and the latter smiled and held his hand as they walked, saying, “I didn’t expect this place to hide eight reclusive families. I’ve heard there should be quite a few strong exponents among these reclusive families. Among the eight, which one is the leader?”
