"However, according to the information we've gathered, disciples of Hidden Sword Mountain once appeared in Xuegu Town, and they showed up quite a few times!" Yang Chengxian continued.
"Oh!" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise. "How can you be sure they were disciples of Hidden Sword Mountain?"
Yang Chengxian said, "Disciples of Hidden Sword Mountain all share one trait. They all have two swords: one carried openly, and one kept in a sword case. Wherever they go, they carry that sword case on their backs."
"The so-called hidden sword might be the sword hidden inside the sword case!"
Hidden Sword Mountain did not mean that many swords were hidden on that mountain, but referred to the art of hiding swords.
Yang Zhengshan Thought About It, then said, "They can't possibly cut themselves off from the world completely. Perhaps this Xuegu Town is their channel for obtaining supplies from outside."
"We can't find out anything about them openly, but the Hanxiao Sect should have some understanding of them!"
How could withdrawing from the world be so easy?
This was not One Person crouching in the mountains, but a sect—hundreds, perhaps even a thousand people crouching in the mountains.
Their basic living needs definitely had to be met, and their cultivation needs could not be lacking either.
If they relied only on a few mountains, there was absolutely no way to satisfy the needs of several hundred or a thousand people.
Therefore, Hidden Sword Mountain definitely had channels for obtaining supplies from outside.
That channel probably was not Jianming Valley, because Jianming Valley was not around the Yunxiao Mountain Range.
Nor could it be the Hanxiao Sect, because the Hanxiao Sect could not meet Hidden Sword Mountain's cultivation needs.
It might be the Lingxiu Three Sects, or it might be the Great Clans
