Chapter 47
“Of course, Acting Administrator Seong and everyone else who acted alongside me knows the truth—that I did it all alone. The others here in Yangnyeong may have heard the rumors, but do you think they’ll really believe it?”
Logically speaking, this wasn’t something a lone martial artist from a minor noble house could pull off.
Han Janggwang, a sect leader of the Four Great Sects, was a warrior at the peak of the Fifth Qi Ascension Realm. Beneath him stood countless elites, each one a master in their own right.
And yet, the outcome was clear—Everlasting Snow Palace had taken Yangnyeong.
From an outsider’s perspective, it could only mean one thing: Everlasting Snow Palace had intervened directly.
As I said before, common sense exists for a reason.
That’s why the nickname was born—as mockery.
A bastard son who couldn’t achieve anything on his own, who needed the backing of the palace to accomplish anything at all.
Thus: Demon Lord of the Snow Mountain.
“Right now, not just those three commanderies we mentioned—but even the Imperial Court of the Yang Empire—they all believe Everlasting Snow Palace intervened. I have no plans to lean on the power of any faction going forward. But they don’t know that.”
“......”
“In that kind of climate, they’d have to be insane to make a move on Yangnyeong. Don’t you agree?”
