Lingjiang midsection, North Mountain pier
The rise of the Longxi Alliance was so abrupt, and Xiling had been submerged, that people naturally considered the Lingjiang Seven Cities as Tang Clan's base.
And North Mountain, which should have been of great importance to the Tang Clan, was largely ignored. So much time had passed, yet only a few masters had patrolled this area, finding nothing valuable and leaving.
After all, there's a cost to upholding justice to a certain extent; in a place like North Mountain where not even birds would defecate, it was clear there was no value.
Thus, during the harshest times of war, North Mountain remained as tranquil as ever.
For the Tang Clan, now stripped of everything, even just squatting in North Mountain felt exceptionally comforting.
