Chapter 1347: Invitation (3)
The Eungwang District Branch (Bunta) of the Black Wind Forest.
Though the Black Wind Forest claims to be a righteous sect opposing the demonic cult, to efficiently fight the demons, they famously concealed the location of their main base, the General Headquarters (Chongta, and instead maintained multiple branch bases.
Admitting this strategy is already problematic, yet surprisingly, it worked well—there had been no demon attacks on the General Headquarters.
While the branch bases’ locations were public, their sheer number combined with the relatively small size of the Black Wind Forest’s team meant many branches often had no permanent disciples stationed, rendering attacks ineffective.
Since the Ho clan resided in Eungwang District, reducing demon threats there, there was no pressing need to establish a branch, but the Sword Saint of the Black Forest—the sect leader—graduated from Eungwang High, so a branch was kept there for appearances.
However, lately, heroes and disciples of the Black Wind Forest have been gathering at the Eungwang District branch.
That branch has undergone repeated expansion and remodeling, now boasting a size comparable to a proper team building.
People speculated various reasons for this, one of the most credible being the presence of Jin Jeongmuk, considered a top disciple.
‘Chaotic brushstrokes reflect a distracted mind. There’s truth in that.’
In the Eungwang District branch, Jin Jeongmuk occupied the Chief Chamber (Suseokwon).
By name, it seemed the chamber for the second-strongest after the sect leader, but in reality, several seniors in the Black Wind Forest had greater skill than Jin Jeongmuk.
Nonetheless, as a sign of encouragement and hope for the future—having been taught directly by the Black Forest Sword Saint and achieving great things at a young age—the sect’s masters had given this place to him.
