Where the Wind Blows

Mount Cang Wu

Mount Cang Wu looked the same as it had since the day it was formed by the mighty land eruptions that rocked the Realms when Heaven and Earth were almost destroyed.  It was only the sacrifice that Mo Yuans mother made, that ensured the survival of both worlds including the land itself.  Surrounded by dense forests that rose to great heights around it and wet marshlands that ensured the mountain remained pristine and beautiful, Mount Cang Wu retained its natural rock formations and arid grounds that were swept by the mists when they rolled in.  In the winter, it was a cold and formidable place, which looked over many of the surrounding Realms that bordered it.  And at that time of the day, it was partially shrouded in thick cloud which only added to its mysterious and mythical status.

Owned by the Celestial Heavens, Mount Cang Wu was just as legendary as the battles that had been fought on it and no story told ever left out the scenery or its imposing grandeur, because the battles that were waged on this mountain were just as beautiful to watch as the Mountain itself.  Most of the battles fought on the famous Mountain were by Mo Yuan, and it was on Mount Cang Wu that his title of War God was given to him by his own father having won the Demon Wars through courage and strength no man could match.  

It was also the final place where all debts that could no longer be managed were claimed, a place to go to when all other options had been exhausted and it was to Mount Cang Wu, that Zian and Mo Yuan met to bring full and final payment for all debts owed.

Agreeing to a truce once the battle was done with, Mo Yuan would be forgiven his attack on Queen Bai Qian, and Zian would be forgiven the events that led him there.  However Mo Yuan made it very clear, that Zians actions would only be partially forgiven.  He was still answerable for his destruction of Ye Huas reputation, which Mo Yuan could not claim, that was something Ye Hua had to do.  And nor could agree to allowing Zians true identity to remain unknown.  

This he had to know, because to battle on Mount Cang Wu, one had to know exactly who it was they were battling.  Their names were announced at the beginning of any battle, this was in part to show respect for their opponent as well as the history that the Mountain was founded on.

"You know I cannot give you that Mo Yuan.  It is because you refuse to apologize, to verbalize two simple words, that we are here.  If I give you my identity, you will gain everything you need to know and more, whereas my Queen gains nothing." Zian snapped, before conjuring a sword, one he had never seen before, but the energy surging though it was so powerful, he could feel it from where he was standing, and that was a good 10 meters away.

Those words instantly had Mo Yuans head working furiously.  If his identity was the answer to every question, then this boy was possibly someone he knew or knew of.  Interesting, he thought to himself as he conjured Xuan Yuan his own personal sword which also flared his energy down its blade.

"Then remove the disguise so I can see exactly who it is I am up against, this is only fair Zian." Mo Yuan said as his energy began to throb lightly about his body.

Thinking about his request, Zian pondered on it for a moment.  To fully expose himself now, without an apology, could literally give Mo Yuan the answers to most of his questions, which she was not prepared to give him, however, she was just as righteous and honorable as he thought himself to be, and it was because of this that she decided to remove the disguise.

Watching on from the side, his Disciples had gathered to watch what was looking like something from a comedy play.  To their minds, their Shifu who was revered and honored by the entire world was amusing a little boys dream of fighting him.  That he had allowed himself to be brought to Mount Cang Wu, was almost tragic to watch.  But unable to tear their eyes away, they all watched on in anticipation and awe.
