Chapter 768 - Cliff Mountain!
The Thousand Mile arrived at Cliff Mountain soon. Cliff Mountain was different from what Jiang Chen had imagined. He had assumed it was like a school or a sect, with an architectural complex on the mountain.
However, Cliff Mountain was actually a city. It was even bigger than Mountain City. The airships flying in the air were countless. Jiang Chen figured out why Cliff Mountain was called Cliff Mountain soon. Looking around, he saw there was a mountain in the city, rising from the ground and soaring into the clouds.
Jiang Chen looked up, but he could not see the peak. Even the highest building in the city was less than one-tenth of the mountain’s height. Without a doubt, this was Cliff Mountain, the unique and symbolic scenery of this city.
According to what Fengyu Duo had told him, Cliff Mountain was a paramount power in Jing Prefecture. It had a superior position; 90 percent of the forces in the Ten Prefectures submitted themselves to the rule of Cliff Mountain. As a result, Cliff Mountain was actually as powerful as Nine Territories.
Similar to the Sacred Institute of the Realm of Nine Heavens, the force of Cliff Mountain was also a palace of martial arts techniques that practitioners were eager to visit. The difference was that Cliff Mountain only taught martial techniques of lore, things like the lore of wind, fire, water, and earth. It was also thanks to this specialty that Cliff Mountain had become an influential force. Many people of the Spirit would come to Cliff Mountain to study.
“See you then.” The Thousand Mile stopped outside of the city. Jiang Chen’s escorting task was over. He did not care what would happen to Nangong Wan and the others, but he was worried about Qiu Fuping. He wondered whether she would find her feet here.
However, to each his own. Each person has the right to make choices. Jiang Chen had no right to intervene. It was impossible for Qiu Fuping to stay with Jiang Chen for the rest of her life just because he had saved her and been kind to her. Nevertheless, she would never forget her encounter with Jiang Chen.
“But why are they looking at him like this?” Jiang Chen asked.
Scratching his head, Zhou Jianfeng said in a low voice, “Young Master Xuanji’s death pissed off the Constellation Palace of Wing Prefecture. They refuse to take orders from Cliff Mountain anymore. More than that, they also provoked grudges between many forces and Cliff Mountain. A huge loss has been caused because of that.”
