Xuanmen received news of Lin Xuan's capture at the first possible moment. When this happened Qing XuZi was still in closed door cultivation, so instead it was Swordsman Yao who set out towards the Palace of Bliss. That very night, he left to try and retrieve Lin Xuan, but this journey resulted in seven continuous days of radio silence; not a soul had seen him. With Swordsman Yao's cultivation, he couldn't have disappeared so quietly even if he were faced with He Huan. Bu LingYun couldn't control the worry she had for her father, which was why she had secretly come to Sky Veil Town with her shixiong.

Xuanmen had always pretended not to see the Palace of Bliss, just leaving it to develop due to their shared past. After all, Bu QingYun had been raised single-handedly by their sect leader and he and Bu YaoLian had been like brothers, since they grew up together. In the past, every time the sect was asked to join the Demon Extermination Campaign, they would all enter into a sect-wide seclusion to avoid answering. However, now that Lin Xuan had been captured and Swordsman Yao disappeared, they didn't have any choice but to participate.

That white-clothed youth left so suddenly and Bu LingYun was unwilling to return to the inn, so the two of them wandered around the street at random. Looking in the direction of the distant Palace of Bliss with no knowledge of her father's whereabouts, she became increasingly worried. "Lu-shixiong, could something have happened to father?"

The only reason Lu Wen was willing to leave Xuanmen was to protect his shimei, and now he gently reassured her, "Don't worry, Shimei. Xuanmen's successors have always had the protection of the heavens, so he won't be killed. Even Bu QingYun survived being hunted down by both demonic and righteous forces."

What he said was widely recognised by the Jianghu as a fact. Every generation, Xuanmen had no shortage of enemies, but after so many years, which one of them had actually been able to do something about it? Just like with Bu QingYun; back then even with all of his meridians broken and his name ruined, those influential powers had failed despite banding together to hunt him down. In fact, every single one that had participated had been foundationally destroyed until they eventually disappeared within the sands of time. Which was why there was a saying on the Jianghu: no one could kill Xuanmen's successors.

Bu LingYun had also started to cultivate the founding sword intent, so naturally she knew just how many life-saving cards this technique had, which calmed her down. The two walked around town for a while longer before heading to where the Myriad Treasures Hall was staying to visit Yue FangZhou. Before they even got there, they heard a huge ruckus. From afar it seemed that there was a large bear plopped in front of the town's gate.

Before the Xuanmen Righteous Sect was established there were a lot of spirit cultivators.

The so-called spirits were originally creatures transformed after absorbing the naturally occurring spiritual energy and gaining spiritual wisdom. In essence, they had consciousness because they were alive[1].

As long as they continued to grow, they would inevitably form a golden core, far superior to the human cultivators at the time.

However, with the immortal's scattering of endless cultivation techniques, this standard was broken. It took at least three hundred years for a spirit cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul Stage while a genius human cultivator who had a suitable technique would only take a hundred years to get to the Calamity Crossing Stage.

In addition to that, the first two Xuanmen Sect Heads had slain numerous powerful spirit cultivators to achieve peace. In a second, the situation on the two sides had reversed.
