Chapter 46: Chapter 5. The Guest from Mount Hua
“Mount Hua...?”
Everyone in the room reacted in unison, stunned.
Mount Hua—wasn’t it the most renowned sect in Shaanxi? One of the few sects acknowledged throughout all of Zhongyuan?
Traditionally, the high-nosed martial sects looked down on the martial families.
Unlike sects that built their names on martial arts alone, the martial families amassed wealth through business and commerce, consolidating regional dominance and fame in the process.
To the sects, the martial arts of a family were just one of countless first-class techniques—never the ultimate arts they revered.
In short, they dismissed family arts as inferior.
Which is why they typically avoided contact with the families altogether.
“Are you certain you mean the Mount Hua Sect from Shaanxi?”
“Y-Yes, sir. I saw them with my own eyes. They were wearing uniforms marked with the plum blossom emblem.”
At the servant’s confirmation, the gathered elders collectively sucked in a breath.
“An opportunity! This is a chance!”
