This chapter opens with a cough and a thud. Elder Lu, the martial master of the sacred mountain, is on his way to the mountain when he hears a knock at the door. It's from his brother-in-law, the wu li master, who's been trying to kill his disciples in theoutlying villages. The elder Lu tells his brother that he's going to send the two of them to the martial hall and make sure that the authorities in the surrounding villages know about the attack on the disciples. He'll also make sure to tell the authorities at the mountain that all the children of the family will be allowed to live in the mountain without any restrictions. This is a big deal, because martial masters like elder Lu are supposed to be able to do whatever they want with their martial masters. The martial master tells the elder Lu that he and his brother are going to return to the kingdom of the xilinx. He says that the mountain is still a sacred place for him, but that he can't live there anymore because he needs to get some xeno crystals to help him refine his martial skills. He wants to head to the area where xeno crystals can be found.
