Chapter 156: The Wind Summons the Clouds (3)
Chang Hye and Chang Gung trailed closely behind the Seven Star Sage as they navigated through Heaven's Summit, both looking more serious than ever. They eventually arrived at a pavilion with a sign that read "總管府"—the Central Administration Hall.
The Central Administration Hall was where the financial affairs of Heaven's Summit were managed. They handled the massive amount of money needed to run the organization, and made even more by investing in businesses all over the jianghu. Through these efforts, Heaven's Summit's wealth had grown exponentially, so much so that no one could even estimate the extent of their wealth.
Naturally, the security at the Central Administration Hall was exceedingly strict. Countless first-class martial artists guarded it around the clock, making it an impregnable fortress.
One of the guards, clad in a purple martial arts uniform with a huge dao at his waist, stepped in front of the Seven Star Sage, exuding an overwhelming aura of power and intimidation. "Hold it right there! This is the Central Administration Hall. Those without prior appointments are forbidden from entering."
He was Jeong Yeol-Gwak, the Captain of the Purple Tiger Corps tasked with guarding the Central Administration Hall. No one could enter or leave without his permission.
The Seven Star Sage stepped forward. "I am the Seven Star Sage of Mount Hua Sect. I have an appointment, so please check your guest register."
"Please wait a moment."
Soon a soldier of the Purple Tiger Corps came running with the register. Jeong Yeol-Gwak checked it, then bowed to the Seven Star Sage. "I have confirmed your appointment, Seven Star Sage, and I apologize for my rudeness earlier. Lately, many people have been showing up unannounced, so I was being cautious."
