The Abandoned Zhang Manor is one of the more intricate outposts in Where Winds Meet. Once a noble estate, it now serves as a covert base for the Xuanyuan Cult. The enemies here rely on vanishing techniques, formations, and Moon Disks that strengthen their presence. Success requires stealth, environmental awareness, and strategic use of mystic skills.

This guide breaks down every step to fully capture the outpost and defeat the Xuanyuan Luminarch.
