Chapter 43

As the premier sect of the Gama Empire, Misty Cloud Sect was located just dozens of miles away from the imperial capital. Misty Cloud Mountain was majestic and towering, piercing the clouds. With cliffs on three sides and only a single path leading to the peak, it was a naturally formidable stronghold that was easy to defend and hard to attack. Furthermore, disciples of Misty Cloud Sect holding swords patrolled closely all over the mountain, turning the entire massif into a natural fortress. A little over ten miles away from the foot of Misty Cloud Mountain, the empire stationed fifty thousand elite cavalry. Though ostensibly tasked with guarding the capital, anyone could see that the imperial household was constantly keeping watch on this crouching tiger nestled near the imperial capital.
