The Thousand Mountains Province is divided into many counties and each of them has many sects.

In the past, the province was ruled by the Ming clan led by Saint Ming. However, ever since Saint Ming died, even though the Ming clan was still the strongest clan, their strength was no longer sufficient to dominate the entire province.

When several other factions combined their strength, the Ming clan also couldn't help but bow their heads.

In the center of the Thousand Mountains province, there was a city called the Thousand Mountains City.

The name of the city does not imitate the name of the province, it is called that because it is built on thousands of mountains.

After a long journey of ten days, Qin Tian finally arrived at the city. He went to the city in a flying ship.

The reason why he went to that city was of course because it was a place where he could gather more cultivation resources.

...

Standing on the hull of that ship, Qin Tian could see an extremely majestic city thousands of kilometers ahead of him.

The ship had not actually arrived in the city yet, but the city was clearly visible from thousands of kilometers away.

Looking at the city that stood on top of those mountains, even Qin Tian nodded slightly with praise.

Even though there were many more cities that were much larger than that city, but a city that stood on top of thousands of neatly lined mountains was still quite rare even in the entire Nirvana Heaven.

"Each of the mountains in this city is definitely not ordinary." Said Qin Tian.

Of course, those mountains were part of the formation protecting Long Pang, but compared to mountains elsewhere, the mountains here obviously had more of a role.

...

"Wow, so it's a city of the Thousand Mountains, we are finally here."

"This city is too big, I can't even see the end."

"Damn, with my strength, I might not be able to explore this city in my entire life."

"But being able to come to this city is already an extraordinary achievement. How many people in this province can come to this city."

Qin Tian saw a group of youths not far from him.

The youths were wearing the same clothes, and in front of them stood a young man who looked quite extraordinary. The youth's cultivation was already at the eighth layer of Spiritual Warriors, and his aura also looked filled with momentum.

They were actually the Copper Mountain sect's disciples. It was the sect that paid the band of bandits to intercept Qin Tian and the others while they were on their way to the Split Mountain sect.

Qin Tian also did not expect that he would be in the same ship with them. And what are they going to do in this city? He didn't know either.

But the one leading them was an elder with peak spiritual master cultivation. From what he had heard, that elder was the great elder of the Copper Mountain sect, and his status in the sect was only one level below the sect master.

As for that young man, he was the son of the sect leader. His name is Li Yan.

As Qin Tian continued to listen to their conversation, he heard words that made him suspicious.

"Hahahaha, now that we've arrived in this city, it won't be long before we can destroy the Split Mountain sect."

"That's right, I'm already very impatient. That sect thought we couldn't crush them, but soon they will cry in despair."

"Nothing can save them."

The strength of their sect was definitely not enough to destroy the Split Mountain sect, but they dared to say that they would destroy the Split Mountain sect soon.

If he had guessed, Qin Tian guessed that they came to this city perhaps to find a support from a stronger group.

"Mm, at least on the surface there is nothing special about the Split Mountain sect. If there was a stronger faction helping the Copper Mountain sect to destroy the Split Mountain sect, it might be of no benefit to them." Qin Tian thought.

"Oh, unless they know the secret under the mountain." Qin Tian felt uneasy as he thought about it.

But he wouldn't be too surprised if what he was thinking turned out to be true.

If one were to observe the Thousand Mountains province seriously, they would definitely find the oddities of the province.

It wouldn't be surprising if they then investigated the province.

Of course, the secret behind the formation created by an emperor was not something that an ordinary faction could solve. Even the Xue kingdom was far from sufficient to do that. And those who can solve it usually will take a very long time before they succeed in solving it.

The more Qin Tian thought about it, the more worried he felt.

In his past life he also did things like that.

And why they chose to help the sect in that place was obviously because they didn't want their success to be found. By controlling the sects in that place, they can do things through other people's hands so that what they are doing is not known to the other factions who are also doing the same thing.

"If that's true, I definitely have to stop them. If they succeed, my plan will fail miserably." Qin Tian said to himself.

Luckily he had experience in such matters so he was able to conclude them all in no time.

After thinking for a while, Qin Tian then sent a message to Prince Xue.

"Can you come to the city of the Thousand Mountains with some strong men you can command?"

Qin Tian knew that he would not be able to face them with his strength now, therefore, he could only ask Prince Xue for help. He does, however, have a background he can count on.

They communicated several times, and Qin Tian knew that the boy was doing very well now.

He started to show his talent ever since he returned to the Xue kingdom. Although at first he got into some trouble from the other royal members, but now his status in that Kingdom has increased drastically.

A while ago he even told her that a envoy from the Giant Bamboo sect had come to him. The envoy was said to have come on the orders of an all-powerful elder of the Giant Bamboo sect. And that elder is said to want to make him his disciple.

"Ahhh, brother Jian, are you in trouble?"

"No, but I need your help."

"Okay, okay, I'll go over there. It's too boring in here."
