The following morning, Hou Niao, following his habitual routine, entered the Wu Sect's headquarters in Jiangning City at a fixed time along a set path.
The timing he chose was excellent because the Wu Sect had moved all of its attention to the new mountain gate on Langya Mountain, including most of the high-level cultivators, the Book Collection Pavilion, the Cultivation Technique Inheritance Hall, the Elixir Furnace Room, and many other adjunct facilities… The most important thing was that the people's hearts were also there, leaving only a shell of the former sect headquarters behind. It was foreseeable that, in the future, these magnificent buildings would be occupied by the mortal dynasty as a recompense for incorporating Langya Mountain into the Qingxu Sect's domain.
There really was no point in keeping it.
The inspection upon entry was still strict, but it was a mere formality, carried out in a half-hearted and perfunctory manner.
