The Untamed ( Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan )
Chapter 105
Most of the prominent sects' residences were built in areas of beautiful scenery, but the LanlingJin Sect's Carp Tower sat in the most flourishing part of Lanling City. The main road used to visit the tower was a carriage path more than half a mile in length. It only opened for important events such as banquets or the Discussion Conferences.

The handsome man in the paintings displayed both pride and vigor.
