Chapter 180: Gathering 2
The martial world is a brutal battlefield where life and death are decided in an instant, yet it is also a place where those who never would have met in a lifetime can become lifelong companions in a single day.
Gu Yanghou, leader of the Northern Heaven Sect.
Bai Wuzhen entered the martial world as a subordinate of Gu Yanghou.
Yet at some point, Gu Yanghou ceased to regard Bai Wuzhen as a subordinate. He treated him as an honored guest and considered him like a sworn brother.
Gu Yanghou was a man utterly indifferent to all formalities and empty gestures. It wasn’t that he harbored any particular ulterior motive in treating Bai Wuzhen differently.
‘Bai Wuzhen is too formidable for the Northern Sky Alliance to contain.’
He simply gave him the respect he deserved the moment that thought crossed his mind. Even after that, he often thought of Bai Wuzhen as one would think of a brother venturing into the martial world. That Gu Yanghou had led his elite forces here meant Bai Wuzhen could be considered a man blessed with good fortune.
But it wasn’t just Baek Moo-jin who benefited.
Gu Yanghou also felt he had made the right decision coming here. Seated in the main hall, he surveyed the contemporary masters watching him, a broad smile spreading across his face.
‘How fortunate that such masters have gathered in one place. Moreover, it seems he’s already become friendly with Lord Baek.’
Gu Yanghou was the leader of the Northern Heaven Alliance.
