Golden Crow Castle

After returning to Hidden Dragon Island on July 3 and seemingly keeping himself out of trouble for a week...

On this day, two events shocked most of the family students in Hidden Dragon Hall.

The first came from Qin Yun Hall. That day, something happened on Qin Yun Hall's Hidden Dragon Wealth Ranking. A name—Zhang Tie—abruptly appeared on the ranking. With a fortune exceeding four hundred thousand gold coins, he seized first place in one stroke. That figure was directly twice the wealth held by the person in second place.

Just as many people in Hidden Dragon Hall were still reeling from this news, the second piece of news arrived.

That castle under construction on Cloud Abode Mountain of Hidden Dragon Island finally raised the flag and insignia of its owner from its highest point that day.

When construction on that castle had first begun, many people in Hidden Dragon Hall had assumed it was another important base being built on the island by one of Huaiyuan Hall's subordinate organizations—either Hidden Dragon Hall or the Long Wind Merchant Group.

There had even been rumors for a time that the clan intended to expand Knowledge and Action Courtyard. The current Knowledge and Action Courtyard would be moved from Hidden Dragon Hall into the newly built castle on Cloud Abode Mountain, while the minimum standard for entering Hidden Dragon Hall in the future would be that of a level-six warrior. Clan elites fortunate enough to enter Hidden Dragon Island but below level six would all be transferred to that castle on Cloud Abode Mountain.

But when the castle flag was raised over the castle on Cloud Abode Mountain on July 3, everyone was dumbfounded. The flag displayed to identify the castle's owner was not the banner or insignia of any Huaiyuan Hall
