Chapter 85

News about Baek Cheon-Sang of the Baek Sword Sect becoming the Zhejiang Martial Alliance's leader quickly spread throughout murim. It eventually reached the Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family as well, both of which paid special attention to Cheon-Sang being the successor of the Heavenly Sea God Sects martial art legacy because it reminded them of Gu Jeon-Saeng, the young man who fought with them during the Great Sima Family incident. He definitely mentioned that he chanced upon a miraculous encounter with the Heavenly Sea God Sect.

It was impossible for both Cheon-Sang and Jeon-Saeng to gain miraculous enlightenment from the Heavenly Sea God Sect at the same time. Considering their age, it was also unlikely that Cheon-Sang was Jeon-Saeng. However, it would make sense for Jeon-Saeng to be Cheon-Sangs son. Coincidentally, Baek Cheon-Sangs son, Baek Mu-Gun, apparently recovered and regained his martial arts after suffering from qi deviation for three years.

The Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family were convinced that Jeon-Saeng was Mu-Gun. If proven true, then that would mean Mu-Gun had hidden his identity and deceived the two great clans. They did not feel particularly offended about it, though. It was common for someone to hide their identity under a pseudonym in murim. It would be a different story if he committed a crime while in disguise. However, Mu-Gun neither did anything of the sort nor caused any particular harm to the two great clans either, so they couldnt find fault in Mu-Guns actions.

What they should be focusing on was the fact that the Baek Sword Sect had two Absolute Realm masters. They still were not a match for the Seven Great Families, but their combat power certainly should not be ignored. To top it all off, the Baek Sword Sect had become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader.

If the Zhejiang Martial Alliance came together and strengthened its power around the Baek Sword Sect, it could pose a threat to the Seven Great Families in the future. The two great clans judged they should start paying attention to the Zhejiang Martial Alliance.

That being said, they decided to build a friendly relationship with the Baek Sword Sect. Making an ally out of the Baek Sword Sect could have a great effect on their battle strength.

Marriage was the best way to create a friendly relationship with the Baek Sword Sect. Almost as if they promised to do so, the two great clans sent a marriage proposal to the Baek Sword Sect. However, they werent the only ones to come up with that idea.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

When the Baek Sword Sect became the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, various clans and sects also rushed to send marriage proposals to them. The Eun Merchant Group, who had broken the engagement between them in the past, sent one as well. That was how much the Baek Sword Sects presence had grown.

Smiling bitterly at the simultaneous talks of marriage, which came in droves, Cheon-Sang called for Mu-Gun.

Did you call for me?

Look at this.

Cheon-Sang handed over several sealed envelopes.

What are all these?

Marriage proposals that came for you.

Marriage proposals?

Since weve become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, various clans now want to tie the knot with us to create a connection. Surprisingly, the Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family also sent marriage proposals.

The Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family as well?

Do you have the faintest idea of what theyre up to?

At that moment, Mu-Gun realized that those two great clans had unearthed his true identity. With their ability, it wouldnt have been difficult to determine he was actually Jeon-Saeng.

Theyre probably trying to secure control over Zhejiang Province by turning us into a friendly force.

Is that all there is to it?

When they attacked the Great Sima Family, I also took action. I used an alias back then, but it seems theyve figured out my identity.

They likely already know youre also in the Absolute Realm, then.

Thats right.

If so, then it all makes sense now. This is an opportunity for them to get an Absolute Realm master as a son-in-law and create a friendly relationship with the Baek Sword Sect, making it worthy for them to bring up talks of marriage first even if it meant bending their pride.

It seems even the Eun Merchant Group has sent a marriage proposal, Mu-Gun said, noticing their name among the sealed envelopes he was looking through.

Those people are really thick-skinned, arent they? It hasnt even been that long since they broke off the engagement, yet theyve already sent us another marriage proposal. Cheon-Sang sounded disgusted.

Merchants have always been shameless when it comes to making a profit.

Anyway, what do you want me to do with those marriage proposals?

Please reject all of them.

All of them?

Do you perhaps have a clan that you like?

Thats not it. The marriage proposals from the Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family just bother me a little.

Dont worry. No matter how powerful the Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family are, they wont harass us just because we refused their marriage proposal.

Alright. You may leave now.

Since Im here, theres something I would like to tell you.

What is it?

I received a request from the Heavenly Secret Hall to foster some martial artists. If possible, I hope to train them in our sect.

Im glad to hear that.

Ill be giving you full authority for the revival of the Heavenly Martial Hall in the future, Young Master Baek, so please train them as you see fit.

Understood. Although he had finished his business, Mu-Gun did not get up immediately. Rather, he chatted with her first before leaving the Flower Honor Manor.

Immediately after returning to the Baek Sword Sect, he met with Cheon-Sang and requested to travel outside.

You want to go on a journey? Where do you plan to go? Cheon-Sang curiously asked.

I plan to visit Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province.

Why do you suddenly want to go there?

Have you heard of the Four Peerless Wanderers?

The masters who played an active role in the battle against the Hell-Blood Demon Sect thirty years ago?

Yes. One of them, the Thunderous Wind Palm, Han Baek, has been living in seclusion near Poyang Lake.

What does that have to do with your visit?

Im thinking of recruiting him to the Baek Sword Sect.

You think thats possible?

While the chances of it happening could be low, successfully recruiting him would greatly increase the power of the Baek Sword Sect and the Zhejiang Martial Alliance. Weve got nothing to lose anyway, so why shouldnt we give it a shot?

You seem to have already made up your mind. Its impossible to go against your stubbornness, so do as you please.

Thank you.

When do you plan to depart?

I plan to leave tomorrow.

Alright.

With Cheon-Sangs permission, Mu-Gun prepared to leave for Poyang Lake. The following day, he departed early in the morning. When Mu-Gun revealed he was going on a trip to Poyang Lake, Ho-Gun and Won-Yee insisted on going with him. The Six Wolves, who were next to them, followed suit and requested to go with him as well.

Mu-Gun only managed to dissuade them by saying that he was going there for an important matter, not for travel purposes.

In a mansion in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, two of the Asuras Five Monarchs were sitting across from each other. Asura Sword Monarch Wi Ji-Wook sat on the left side, while Asura Saber Monarch Yeon Ja-Gwang sat on the right. The two middle-aged men looked quite serious, having heard that the Asura Ghost Monarch and the Asura Poison Monarch had been killed during a mission in Zhejiang Province.

This is a big problem. Putting aside the fact that they failed to execute their scheme, the Ghost Monarch and the Poison Monarchs deaths are a huge loss, the Asura Saber Monarch said with a grave expression.

Honestly, Im still in disbelief. The Poison Monarch, the Ghost Monarch, and the Ghost Monarchs demonic generals were all working together, so how is it possible that they got wiped out? the Asura Sword Monarch asked, unable to comprehend it.

I feel the same way. Although the Baek Sword Sects patriarch has inherited the Heavenly Sea God Sects martial legacy and reached the Absolute realm, he still couldnt have been a match against the Ghost Monarch or the Poison Monarch.

The only way it would make sense is if someone aside from the three clans martial artists had been there.

Who do you think that would be?

I dont know, but theyre clearly a master even the Ghost Monarch and the Poison Monarch were no match against.

If so, shouldnt we find out who that martial arts master is? Its terrifying to have a knife in the dark. Identifying that master would allow us to prepare against them in the future.

I have actually instructed our people to investigate this incident in detail.

This situation is so frustrating. Not only have our plans in Jiangsu Province stopped progressing properly, but even the matters in Zhejiang Province have gone south. To top it all off, we also lost the Ghost Monarch and the Poison Monarch. Im starting to get worried about how angry the patriarch will be when he finds out about this.

Losing the Ghost Monarch, the Poison Monarch, and even a couple of demonic generals is certainly a pity, but if the patriarch, who has been in closed-door cultivation, reaches the Supreme Realm, we will be able to turn everything that has happened so far to our favor.

I truly hope the patriarch advances into the Supreme Realm. I wonder if we should just be sitting around and watching things unfold right now, though.

I know youre frustrated, but we have to be cautious. It would be better to conserve the Taiyun Household and the Lee Households combat forces for now until the patriarch completes his closed-door training.

The Nine Prominent Sects and the Seven Great Families were blazing with fury and chasing the traces of the Asura Cult. Making a hasty move under the current circumstances would be a bad move. For now, they had to hide and wait for the right opportunity to make a move.

If you say so, then so be it. The Asura Saber Monarch obediently listened to the Asura Sword Monarch.

Thus, the two demonic monarchs patiently waited at a manor in Suzhou for the right time to strike.
