Background / History

Xuan Ji presided over Mount Mao’s cultivation assessment and the selection process for the Three Sects Tournament. His stern command immediately silenced the Martial Arts Arena, establishing his authority over the sect’s disciples. 25

He later led an elite team to investigate Black Fiend Sect and Netherworld activity around Burial Demon Valley. The mission included Mo Yuan, Chen Feng, Zhao Gan, and several other inner disciples; Xuan Ji explicitly forbade them from entering the valley’s inner reaches without authorization. 34

At the Yin Fiend Spring, Xuan Ji identified the hostile formation through his compass, directed the team’s assault, and personally attacked a formation node alongside Mo Yuan. After the battle, he used a draining Mount Mao secret technique to destroy the spring entirely, cutting off its supply of Yin Fiend energy. 35 37

Upon returning to Mount Mao, Xuan Ji gave an objective but highly favorable report of Mo Yuan’s performance. Sect Leader Shi Jian subsequently placed him in charge of strengthening sect defenses and continuing the investigation into the Black Fiend Sect and Netherworld. 38

As the ancient demon crisis escalated, Xuan Ji joined the expedition into Burial Demon Valley, fought during the ambush at the valley entrance, and later helped establish isolation and purification arrays around the Yellow Springs fissure. 40 41 47 He was later ordered to lead the emergency rescue force pursuing the Yellow Springs Guide in Blackwater City. 50
