Chapter 63 Black Dragon Hall (2)
* * *
Two days after Baek Dong-il, who had blocked the path, met his end.
A man from Yao’an sought out Dongjeongho. In his hand was a single letter.
The letter’s color was an ominously vivid red.
The man stood at one side of Dongjeongho and read the contents of the letter.
“…I see.”
Muttering to himself, the man from Yao’an burned the letter to ashes with his Sammae Jin Hwa.
‘Is the Black Dragon Sect now a faction to be discarded?’
The man let out a bleak laugh.
It had lost its value faster than anticipated, but it had achieved its primary goal.
A check on the Huashan Sect.
The Black Dragon Sect had long served as the counterweight to the scattered evil sects of the martial world within the Huaguang Province.
Outsiders might assume the collapse of the Black Dragon Sect would shift the balance of power in the martial world… but that was not the case.
The man of Yao’an always saw the future.
Even if the Black Dragon Sect vanished, the replacement would still be a tiger leashed to the collar he held.
Could a world merely changed in name truly be called transformed?
The man of Yao’an looked down at the one who had delivered the letter to him.
“Your name… what is it?”
“Hang Jiksan, sir!”
“Hangjeoksan. Are you that Iron-Fisted One of the Black Dragon Sect?”
“Yes!”
The man regarded him with a piercing gaze.
“You, an elder of the Black Dragon Sect. Why bring this letter to me?”
“I do not wish to remain a mere lackey.”
At those words, the man laughed, as if amused.
