Chapter 22: Sword Cloud Manor
Far from Cangwu City, deep within a certain region of the Cangwu mountain range.
The Sword Cloud Manor rose from the mountain peaks like a celestial palace, its white stone walls gleaming against the backdrop of azure sky.
Towering pagodas pierced through drifting clouds, and cascading waterfalls fed into terraced gardens that seemed to float in mid-air.
As their flying sword descended toward the outer courtyards, Shi Jing couldn’t help but feel impressed despite himself.
The sheer scale of the complex dwarfed even the Ming estate—this was truly the seat of a major cultivation power.
"Magnificent, isn’t it?" Chen Lian said, noting his expression.
"The Sword Cloud Manor has stood for over thousands of years."
Their sword touched down on a platform of polished jade, where several groups of young disciples were gathered.
The moment Chen Lian’s feet touched the ground, every head turned in their direction.
"Senior Brother Zhou, look," one disciple whispered, not quite quietly enough.
"Elder Chen brought someone with him."
