Within the Golden Wing Sect, the place where wealth converged was the Vast Source Hall.
As the Golden Wing Sect's largest center of trade, its grounds alone occupied several mountain peaks.
The Main Peak rose over a thousand zhang high, shaped like a sharp sword thrust straight into the heavens.
Seventy-two thick chains hung down its cliffs like enormous dragons suspended in the air.

Two Pixiu statues fashioned entirely from red gold stood at the entrance, looking exceptionally imposing.
People streamed in
