Only a handful of people knew what Dantai Mieming was thinking. He had lived in seclusion on Great Snow Mountain for decades not only to cultivate in peace, but also because he wanted to make Great Snow Mountain independent of the Northwest Circuit. In fact, the mountain masters of Great Snow Mountain over several generations had all wanted to do the same.
Great Snow Mountain had originally been established to preserve the legacy of the Northwest tribes. Now, some of those tribes had grown powerful enough that no one could touch them. Why should Great Snow Mountain continue acting as their nanny—or even serve as an arena for their power struggles?
At some point in the past, one of the mountain masters had begun making plans to completely change the balance of power in the Northwest Circuit. The plan would have been difficult to carry out at first, since nearly ninety percent of Great Snow Mountain's people came from the major tribes of the Northwest.
But things were different now. Although most of Great Snow Mountain's strong fighters still came from the major tribes, nearly half were from minor tribes or were unaffiliated cultivators. Even if the warriors from the major tribes all left, the mountain's legacy would remain intact.
As it happened, an opportunity had presented itself. Dantai Mieming had no wish to interfere, and there was no need for him to.
Dantai Mieming didn't care what the Murong Clan chose to do. They couldn't threaten Great Snow Mountain's legacy, and he was confident of that.
From now on, Great Snow Mountain would no longer mediate disputes between the Northwest tribes. It would exist solely as a sacred land of martial arts.
