Mountain of Imprisonment
枷笼山
A mountain whose summit shrine, the Lu clan's ancestral hall, now houses Huangxing.
The Road and the Shrine
The Mountain of Imprisonment was once where Old Madam Lu resided; the Lu Clan Shrine at its summit held generations of the clan's ancestors, and devotees came in an unbroken stream to pay their respects.
The shrine was later rebuilt as a temple of the Merciful Lady, and a different image now receives the offerings at the top of the same climb.
Cages hang across the mountain, holding the prisoners Huangxing wants alive... for now.
The Summit
The man who holds the summit is Huangxing. Once one of the Pillars of Kunlun, he wears a masked helm, his left arm from the elbow down is all intricate mechanism, and the Flying Guillotine in his hand can take a head at range or back his sword at close quarters.
He seized the mountain with his elite followers and cut down the Mandate fighters who came to subdue him; those who opposed Perfect Transcension and died by his hand are beyond counting.
On the climb, the Mandate and Huangxing's followers fought again and again over a single switch, and it was into that slaughter that Kui Yanyan, the Deranged, came charging.
