The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 171 Cloud Feather 30

The following morning, an unprecedented sweep was quietly launched throughout the palace.

In order to dispel external doubts and to establish his own image of fairness and impartiality, Gong Ziyu first investigated the Yu Palace, where he was located.

With an extremely cautious and meticulous attitude, they searched the Feather Palace three times to confirm that there were no traces of the Unseen Assassin inside, except for Lady Mist Princess. Only then did they turn their attention to the other three palaces on the front mountain.

After arranging everything, Gong Ziyu left Jin Fan at the front mountain to continue overseeing the investigation, while he himself quietly went to the back mountain.

Since he became the Blade Master, he has gained the approval of three elders, including Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao, and Gong Yuanzheng.

However, because he was appointed to the position of Blade Master in accordance with the ancestral system of succession without a designated successor, and had not passed the trials of the three regions of the back mountain, his position was considered by his subordinates to be somewhat illegitimate.

The most direct and effective way to resolve this criticism is through the trials in the three regions of the back mountain.

Only in this way can we prove that his strength matches his status!

and so……

Ok!

He admitted that these were all excuses he used to deal with the three elders and Gong Zishang!

Whether or not Gong Ziyu passes the Three Realms Trial is not of great significance to him at the moment.

After all, he has now secured his position as the Blade Master, and once the palace gates are thoroughly investigated, his power will reach a peak never before attained by any previous Blade Master.

The real reason I came to the back mountain to participate in the Three Realms Trial was to find out what exactly the Boundless Flowing Fire was.

In this era of cold weapons, the Boundless Flowing Fire was said to possess earth-shattering power, and its true nature was something that made people curious about it.

It is known that the Boundless Flowing Fire is a weapon with tremendous destructive power, but its specific form, constituent matter, and even mode of existence are all unknown to him.

He could wait and go into the back mountain with the people who were investigating, but the special nature of the Boundless Flowing Fire meant that it could not be exposed to the public.

Therefore, he took advantage of the inspection of the front mountain to go to the back mountain under the pretext of conducting the Three Realms Trial.

At this moment, light snow began to fall from the sky, making the already difficult mountain path even more treacherous under the cover of snow. If one is not careful, one may slip and fall.

Honestly, if it weren't for the passionate speech he gave before coming to persuade everyone to agree to his visit to the back mountain, and the shame of having to give up halfway, he would have turned back now.

The tall bronze door embedded in the stone wall behind the mountain was tightly closed. Two guards stood silently at the entrance like two statues. When they saw him coming from afar, they immediately broke their silence and quickly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Lord Zhiren!"

Gong Ziyu nodded slightly and said, "I'm here to participate in the Three Realms Trial. Open the door!"

The two guards dared not delay and quickly opened the door as ordered. The heavy bronze door slowly opened, revealing a dark and deep secret passage.

After Gong Ziyu entered the secret passage, the bronze door closed tightly again, isolating him from the outside world.

The secret passage was dimly lit, and someone was already waiting there. After seeing him enter, they blindfolded him with a black cloth.

Gong Ziyu remained calm even with his eyes covered, as his mental powers made it irrelevant whether he could see or not.

The man remained silent the entire way until he escorted him to the entrance of the Snow Palace. After bowing to him, he said, "Lord Zhiren, the entrance to the Snow Palace is just ahead, which is also the first domain of the Three Domains Trial."

After saying that, the person raised their head, revealing a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, smiled at him, and turned to leave.

Gong Ziyu watched his retreating figure thoughtfully. She had originally thought that the investigation of the back mountain would make the people there very resentful, but now it seemed that wasn't the case!

However, upon closer reflection, it's not hard to understand.

By allowing those in the front to enter the back mountain for investigation, isn't he essentially opening a path for those in the back mountain to emerge in the future?

The palace gate has been hidden in the Old Dust Valley for over a hundred years. At least the people in front of the mountain can occasionally stroll around the market in the valley, which gives them a little bit of freedom.

Just like how the original owner used to sneak out to the Wan Hua Lou to chat with that confidante named Zi Yi.

On the other hand, the people in the back mountain are truly miserable. Once the gate to the back mountain is closed, no one except the three elders can come out. Those inside are trapped in this small space for their entire lives.

What's the difference between this and going to jail?
