"Why hadn't the people from Great Hua Mountain arrived yet?"
In Liyang Temple, within Luoyang.
Kan Yuanzi, a Kongtong elder seated in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. Restlessness gripped him. The thoughts within him seemed on the verge of breaking free, leaping and swaying until he had no choice but to end his meditation and slowly grind them away.
"Ever since I arrived in Luoyang, my Dao Heart has grown more restless by the day. The Realm of a Hundred Silences I cultivated in the Secret Realm is almost ruined!"
The thought only agitated him further. He rose and paced.
I'm restless, but surely Luoyang itself isn't to blame. It must be that party from Great Hua Mountain. They set out long ago, so why haven't they reached Luoyang? If that man is leading them, he could move here with a thought. Why is there still no sign of him? Is he plotting something? If the situation turns complicated, how should I respond? Should I contact the Master's Sect first...
As his thoughts ran on, stray notions multiplied and his agitation deepened. The Five Qi within him surged, and a strange thought sprouted in his heart, shooting straight toward his Niwan Palace!
"Not good!"
Kan Yuanzi snapped back to himself. He immediately formed a Hand Seal and silently circulated his Mystic Art, grinding away the stray thoughts and suppressing the alien one. Then his chest heaved as he let out a long breath.
"I nearly suffered cultivation deviation!"
Just then, something stirred in Kan Yuanzi's heart. He reached out and caught a Talisman.
As the Talisman burned, a thought came from it—
"Fellow Daoist, do you know Great Hua Mountain's movements?"
Kan Yuanzi knew where the Talisman had come from at once.
"It's Xianyu Zi of Louguan Dao!"
