Late winter.
The Lone Bamboo Gang was completely annihilated, and the Ghostly Cyan Robe Tower unified the area around Celestial Cloud City.
The "Tower Master" Hua Linglong's prestige reached an unprecedented height, becoming the Crowned Queen.
Even the King of Shu specially sent an envoy with congratulatory gifts, and the surrounding Jianghu forces came to offer their congratulations.
Firecrackers exploded, splendid fireworks blossomed in the snowy night sky, and guests crowded Celestial Cloud City. The fluffy snow was compacted into hard, cold ice by the countless carriages going to and fro.
After midnight, Hua Linglong returned to the Ghostly Cyan Robe Tower.
This tower had nine layers, with the Ninth Layer being the residence of the Tower Master, also the highest point in Celestial Cloud City.
