Chapter 130: The Seven-Year-Old Demon-Subduing Robe-1
Located in southeastern Sichuan, the Baeksukbang faction swiftly took control of Xingmen, the southeastern tip of Sichuan that had been under the Zhengxie Sect’s domain after the latter’s downfall, becoming the dominant force there.
While many regions that had belonged to the Zhengxie Sect had become battlegrounds for various sects now acting on behalf of Cheongseong and Dang Clan, it was no exaggeration to say that Baeksukbang had completely seized control of at least this area of Xingmen.
This was due to their early occupation and the fact that its proximity to the border with Guizhou made it difficult for other sects to exert influence.

“Yes. Was there any trouble overnight?”

“Understood, Master. Please continue your inspection!”
Hyukmok-an, the descendant of a lay disciple of the Cheongseong Sect and the head of Baeksukbang, was once again strolling alone through the streets this morning, gauging the sentiments of the local people.
This had been one of Hyukmok-an’s daily routines without fail since Baeksukbang took over the management of Heungmun.
At first, the people of Heungmun had worried she might be causing trouble. But they were moved by Hyukmok-an’s personal example—seeing the people’s hardships with her own eyes, taking swift action, and resolving problems.
