Chapter 5946: Canât Afford To Stay In Splendor
Chu Zhu returned home to her clan after being gone for who knows how many years. The clan was situated in the mountain range outside of a grand city.
âThis is Splendor.â Chu Zhu pointed at the magnificent city along the way.
Li Qiye looked over and sure enough, the city lived up to its name. It looked like a star hanging over heaven with floating structures surrounded by mist. Others were hidden deep in the mountains, large enough to look like independent domains. Others rose majestically from the peaks, piercing the sky.
Divine bridges spanned the vast distances across the clouds, connecting the areas. This city seemed to be the size of a kingdom. An aura of nobility emanated as if there were peerless treasures hidden underground.
âA rare sight of wealth.â Li Qiye said.
âThe city was built by Splendor Monarch who is no longer in Sin. It is the most prosperous place in Sin, the majority of trading takes place here.â She said: âIt is in the territory of Enigma but the dynasty has no jurisdiction over it. This freedom makes it a desirable place for many sects and clans, they decide to take roots right outside.â
âDue to declination.â Li Qiye smiled: âNo longer have the ability to stay in the city but donât want to go too far.â
âYes, youâre putting them to shame. They canât afford to stay in the city any longer, my clan included.â Chu Zhu smiled and admitted.
The Zhu was built on a mountain range facing Splendor. Their place certainly couldnât compare to the wealthy city.
Of course, it looked like a paradise with pavilions and serene streams in the eyes of mortals but they knew better. Otherwise, there would be a divine bridge extending from the city to their place.
âHere is my birthplace.â She introduced with a smile: âWe have fallen indeed, please donât laugh, Young Noble.â
âThe scene is the same, not the people.â She said sentimentally.
âAncestor, youâve been gone for eras now.â An ancestor from the clan remarked: âThe other ancestors have passed away.â
These other ancestors were her direct juniors, one of whom was her little brother.
âYes, those who should leave have left.â She said as they walked through the clan.
âPerhaps it is time for you.â He said.
âThis is my last visit, I should say goodbye to the past.â She said.
She left as a young girl and returned as a supreme cultivator at the apex. The ancestors walking behind them were shocked but didnât dare to comment on her decision.
Li Qiye looked around and said: âThis is not a clan, Chu isnât the only surname.â
âYou know about this too?â Chu Zhu was surprised.
âThis mountain range, its foundation and resources, they didnât come from one branch alone.â Li Qiye shook his head.
âNothing can hide from you, Young Noble.â She remarked.
The old men stared at Li Qiye curiously. How did this mortal understand their clan after a single glance? Of course, something like this shouldnât surprise them since he was qualified to accompany their ancestor.
