Chapter 84: The Eternal Sound of the Long Wind
Great Qian had enjoyed peace for so long that, under normal circumstances, city walls were only eight or nine zhang high.
But the city standing before Li Shun, built in the heart of the great marsh, had walls soaring a full seventy to eighty zhang into the sky.
It rose straight from the earth, standing proudly amidst the waters like a small mountain.
Li Shun stared at the three characters engraved above the city gate for quite some time, yet failed to recognize a single one.
“These aren’t characters used by Great Qian today.”
The city gates already stood wide open, yet inside lay a silence as lifeless as death itself.
Li Shun stepped forward and entered.
The gate tunnel stretched for over two hundred zhang. Rather than running straight across, it slanted upward.
It felt like entering a dark mountain cavern, with only a faint point of light visible far above.
