If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

That's right, Zongze's faction has been established, named Xuanzong!

As a descendant of the Chinese people, Zong Ze deeply understood the concept of "Heaven is Mysterious, Earth is Yellow." In ancient China, "Mysterious" represented Heaven, and in the "Huangdi Neijing Suwen," it was further explained: "The function of change is Mysterious in Heaven, Dao in Man, and Transformation on Earth. Transformation gives rise to the five flavors, Dao gives rise to wisdom, and Mysterious gives rise to spirit!"

The first meaning of Zong Ze's use of Xuan is that his Xuanzong represents the origin of the Heavenly Dao, alluding to the meaning of the Eastern Immortal Realm!

Secondly, as Ge Hong stated in his *Baopuzi Neipian*: "The mysterious is the ancestor of nature and the great source of all things. It is so profound and obscure that it is called subtle. It is so far-reaching that it is called wondrous. Its height reaches the nine heavens, its vastness covers the eight corners of the earth. It shines brighter than the sun and moon, and is as swift as lightning."

This clearly combines the mysteries and the Tao. The so-called Taoism is the mysteries, and the sect is very clear: whether it is the "Heart Sutra of Nature" or the "Immortal Transformation Manual" that they cultivate, they absolutely belong to Taoism!

Third, the character "玄" also carries the meaning of mystery and unpredictability. For the Holy Word Continent, the appearance of Zong Ze is definitely a mysterious and unpredictable event. Even Zong Ze himself has not figured it out yet!

Therefore, Zongze eventually named his faction 'Xuanzong'!

At that time, he had no idea that the Xuanzong he founded would eventually become the largest and most powerful sect in the world!

After Han Ju and Fu Yanhong returned safely from the City Lord's Mansion, they were full of praise for Xuanzong's name after hearing Zong Ze's explanation!

However, at Fu Yanhong's suggestion, the current Xuanzong is not called Xuanzong yet, but should be called Xuanzong Gang!

After all, the division of sects and gangs in the chaotic continent cannot be violated. If Zong Ze were to destroy the Black Rock Gang and take its place, his power would only be able to call itself a gang!

Only when Xuanzong's strength truly reaches the level of a sect leader can he truly be called a sect leader; otherwise, he will definitely attract suppression from other forces!

Therefore, the Xuanzong sect is now called the Xuanzong Gang, but it may be changed to the Xuanzong Sect in the future, and eventually become the true Xuanzong sect!

Upon hearing Zong Ze's words, the Second Elder and the others sat down opposite him. As soon as they sat down, the Second Elder asked, "May I ask where this young master's Xuanzong sect is located? Who is the sect leader? Forgive my ignorance, but I don't seem to have ever heard of this sect before!"

"It's right that the Second Elder hasn't heard of it!"

Zong Ze chuckled and said, "Because our Xuanzong Sect is newly established, we should now be called the Xuanzong Sect!"

At this point, ignoring the surprised looks from the Black Face Gang elders, Zong pointed in the direction of the Black Rock Gang and said with a smile, "However, tomorrow, our Xuanzong Sect should be renamed the Xuanzong Gang!"

And our sect leader is none other than myself, the humble one. Let me introduce myself: I am Zong Ze, and you may address me as Sect Leader Zong!

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's expression changed again. He could sense that Zong Ze's strength was around the mid-stage of the Divine Sect. Although Zong Ze was not old, in the Sacred Language Outer Continent, it was not uncommon for a twenty-year-old to be at the mid-stage of the Divine Sect!

Now Zong Ze claims that he founded this so-called Xuanzong sect himself, how can the Second Elder and others believe that?

"Zong Zongzong!"

The Second Elder's expression was incredibly complex: "Let's not beat around the bush. I think Sect Master Zong must have powerful backing, right? I might be being a bit blunt, otherwise, it seems unlikely that Sect Master Zong could establish a gang on his own..."

The Second Elder didn't finish his sentence, but everyone could understand that he was saying Zong Ze was too young and unqualified to establish a sect, let alone have a conversation with him. He suggested that the person behind Zong Ze should come out.

To this day, the Second Elder still believes that the sect leader is a puppet sect leader cultivated by others!

"presumptuous!"

Just then, Han Feng, who was standing guard to the side, spoke up: "Our sect leader has such a high status that it is never your place to question him!"

"Humph!"

Seeing a Martial Venerable dare to speak to him like that, the Second Elder felt a surge of anger. If it weren't for the fact that he had already defected from the Black Rock Gang, he would have really lost his temper: "Sect Master, we have come to revitalize our sect, is this your attitude?"

"What? Does the Second Elder intend to question our power?"

Zong Ze wasn't angry, but his tone was a bit colder: "If this is the attitude of the Second Elder, then I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking!"

"you!"

The Second Elder was taken aback by the other party's assertiveness and was at a loss for words.

At this point, he still had the opportunity to simply walk away and avoid the Luo family in the future. However, if he did that, he would feel bad for the other elders he had brought with him!

"Sect Master, you've misunderstood!"

Just then, the Third Elder spoke up to smooth things over: "You all know why we've come here. To put it bluntly, we've come to seek refuge with your Xuanzong Gang. But how can we feel at ease if we don't even know anything about you? After all, it concerns our own lives. If you put yourself in our shoes, I'm sure the Sect Master would have the same concerns!"

"That makes sense, no problem with it!"

Zong Ze nodded. Although the Third Elder spoke very bluntly, Zong Ze liked it very much!

"Since that's the case, let Aisihua introduce us to you. You can also consider whether our Xuanzong is worth your allegiance. I don't force anyone. If you feel it's not suitable, you are free to leave at any time!"

After saying that, Zongze waved to Aisihua!

"How many!"

Aisihua took a few steps forward and walked to Zongze's side, saying to the five elders of the Black Rock Gang, "Before introducing our sect leader, let me introduce myself first!"

"My name is Ai Sihua. Three days ago, I was the head of the Butterfly Gang in Future Street. I'm sure you all look down on the Butterfly Gang, but you are all very clear about Future Street and my responsibilities in the Butterfly Gang, aren't you?"

"You're the one who's in charge of welcoming new recruits, Aishua? You were the one who welcomed Snow, weren't you?"

The Fifth Elder suddenly spoke up, saying that Snow had joined the Black Rock Gang two years ago and had been taken in as a disciple by the Fifth Elder.

"Snow?"

Ai Sihua pondered for a moment and said, "That's right. Snow came from the Tantu Continent and lived on the Newcomer Island for twelve years. He came to Chaos City two years ago. At that time, he was at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm. After I guided him, I charged him forty-five low-grade spirit stones. It should have been fifty, but because of his good attitude, I charged him five less!"

"It seems I was right, you really are Aisihua from Future Street!"

Elder Wu nodded, confirming Ai Sihua's identity: "But weren't you in the Butterfly Gang? How did you become someone from this Xuanzong sect? Could it be that the Butterfly Gang is behind the Xuanzong sect?"
