Chapter 125: The Dragon-Wrestling Gate (3)
Let’s rewind time and consider how I came to be in Hanjung.
Having led the war against the Ten Demon Clans with innate strategic genius and formidable martial prowess, I was awarded first-class merit in the subsequent commendation ceremony.
Then, following Jik Ha-ran’s advice, I chose the prime land of Hanjung.
At first, I was simply pleased to receive such valuable territory, but it turned out I’d been used in the power struggle between the Jikryongdang and Geumryongdang factions.
Well, ultimately, I devoured the entire Hanjung Sangryeon cooperative, so I had no complaints.
But thinking back now, the biggest reason I came to Hanjung was something else entirely.
It was thanks to North Palace Baek, who had relinquished his own reward to me during the merit assessment.
Because of that, I could combine two portions of rewards and choose the land in Hanjung.
Perhaps the Red Dragon Sect Leader and North Palace Baek had made some sort of agreement to send me to Hanjung.
Moreover.
‘The Jeonwang Gate and the North Palace Clan.’
Wasn’t that an extremely familiar name?
Moreover, the person who revealed this name to me was none other than North Palace Zhang Huan, the head of the Park Dragon Sect, who had adopted the Park Dragon Thirteen Steps as his secret martial art.
Could this truly be a coincidence?
After falling into the martial world for over a decade, rolling around like a dog during that time, I realized one thing.
A series of coincidences is fate.
