Chapter: 1021

‘Ah! He has to be that famous man!’

The famous Dark King, Marakim.

Everyone knew that he was the Lord’s right hand man, but the fact that he was walking alongside this young man meant that he had to be the Lord of the Demonic Cult.

The scar faced young man quickly got up from his seat and was about to greet, when suddenly Chun Yeowun opened his mouth first.

“Are you the one who brought this slate?”

Chun Yeowun asked after showing the identity slate of the former lord of the Demonic Cult.

“Ah-yes.”

That was when Ko Wanghur, who was next to the man, warned him in a low voice.

“You saw the Lord of our faction now, are you still not going to disclose your identity?!”

The young man had insisted that he wouldn’t reveal anything until he met with the Lord of the Cult in person.

They were planning on forcing him to answer, but realizing that the issue was serious, they held back and brought him to the academy, despite not liking him.

Tak!

At that moment, the young man hurriedly introduced himself.

“I-I am honoured to meet Chun Ma of the Sky Demon Order. My name is Dan Baekhyun who came here as an envoy from the North Ice Palace.”

“North Ice... Palace?”

Everyone in the room was shocked at the unexpected identity reveal of the scar faced young man.

Shockingly, he wasn’t a warrior from the Jianghu, but a person from the North Ice Palace, one of the three powers who held supremacy over the cold northern land.

The three great powers outside of Jianghu.

There were different kinds of martial arts established and followed by the people there.

Of course, from the point of view of the Jianghu people, though they were people outside the region, their martial arts and fighting style were not too different from Jianghu martial arts.

The three powers, who were considered an outside power, were East, West and North. First was the Boudala palace, where Buddhism was spread to the Tibetan plateau. The second was the Imperial region, where the Shaolin temple became famous for its martial palace. Last but not least was the North Ice Palace, which was also called the Northern Sea (Lake Baikal), a land of cold snow fields.

Of course, in addition to those, there were the South Yunan forces, Indo forces and the Pasa warriors. There were known to be various groups of armed people, however the mentioned three were the only ones known to be gaining strength consistently.

‘North Sea Ice Palace...’

At one point, around 30 years ago, among the outside forces, there was a group that moved to the south to seek power over the Jianghu.

They were the North Sea Ice Palace.

Less than a month after entering the Central Plains (Jianghu), they gave up on their plans due to the climate and food culture, which was too different for them to get used to in a long war.

At that time, the North Sea Ice Palace became famous for signing a peace treaty with the Wulin, which was about giving up the confrontation and not continuing the war.

“An envoy from the North Sea Ice Palace?”

Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up.

It was surprising to hear that the person who brought in the missing former Lord Chun Inji’s identity slate was someone from the North Sea Ice Palace.
