Chapter 393: Battle of Wangchuan

Wangchuan Tower was the premier establishment in Anxi County's county town, nestled against a mountain and beside a river. It was a place where the younger generation gathered for poetry and martial arts, and where clan elders would sometimes come to listen to the rain, taste wine, and watch the ever-changing world as their juniors vied for supremacy.

The number nine is considered the utmost in numbering, hence Wangchuan had nine floors. Only the young poets and swordsmen had any chance of ascending to the ninth floor. But it wasn't just anyone who could reach the top and discuss the Dao; the approval of the tower master was still required.

The elders of the clan often gathered on the eighth floor, while the young figures of the day were on the seventh.

To ascend to the seventh floor, one had to be qualified, and only seven people could claim to be the main guests of the seventh floor. If a newcomer wished to ascend, they had to push down one of the existing seven.
