I’d say the author’s word-padding a bit here, but things do happen and we get so many repetitions of the three prefectures’ names that no one should be confused with which is which by the end of chapter 598! Whew.

Super late chapter 597 today, as my stomach warred with my sleepiness for a chillaxing Sunday! Whew.

Chapter 596 marks the official end of our current story arc—“Traitors and Truants, Turncoats Through and Through!” (Cough, I had fun with alliteration here.) With one final betrayal, the pieces are set for the next grand play in the giant chessboard of Cloud Realm Continent. Long Feiye, it’s your move.
