Chapter 229: The Restless South-2
Hengshan, Hunan Province.
Among the countless mountains under heaven, this splendid peak known to people as Namak was home to the mighty Hyeongsan Sect, which dominated all of Hunan Province.
The growth of the Hyeongsan Sect was astonishing.
What had once been merely a local sect influencing only the vicinity of Namak within Hunan Province had, in just over a decade, not only become one of the Eight Great Sects but had also risen to become the ruler of all Hunan Province.
People said:
Ten years ago, the Hyeongsan Sect occupied the lowest rank among the Nine Great Sects, but in another ten years, it might very well become the leader of the Nine Great Sects.
And the period when the Hyeongsan Sect began to grow like this was undoubtedly after the current headmaster, the Honam’s Finest Sword, Wi Jeong-guk, ascended to the position of headmaster.
He was known among people these days as
The greatest leader in the history of the Hyeongsan Sect.
That Wi Jeong-guk was currently seated in his office, receiving a report from Jwa Ga-gyun, the head of the Outer Hall.
“…After that, that man, Inparang, is actually moving towards the southern region.”
Wi Jeong-guk, listening with an expressionless, cold face, suddenly asked Jwa Ga-gyun abruptly.
“What is Man Hak-sung’s reaction?”
Then Jwa Ga-gyun avoided his gaze and answered with difficulty.
“There’s been no response whatsoever. But given the lack of any further reaction to our proposal… I suspect it means he’ll agree to meet if he comes.”
