Chapter: 1917
Pyo-wol shook his head slightly before going back inside the inn.�
�Visitor of Life and Death, Jiaolong, and even the Ghost King���
Something was brewing in Lake Tai.�

�To be defeated by a man called the Reaper. First, the Sword Blossom Pavilion, then the Shadowless Order� What a disaster.�
A middle-aged man with a sturdy build murmured as he sat down on a throne, looking over the massive lake.�
The place he was in was the largest island among the forty-eight islands in Lake Tai. This island was originally inhabited by fishermen, but as they established themselves here, the locals were driven away.�
On the island where the locals were driven away, a large fortress was built.
It was the Changjiang Fortress, which belonged to the Nokrim faction.�
The Nokrim faction was originally united under a great power called the Heavenly Heights Stronghold. However, as time passed, the Heavenly Heights Stronghold was divided into two factions: the Two Valleys and Four Fortresses.�
The Changjiang Fortress belonged to the latter.�
Furthermore, while all the other factions chose to settle inland, it was only the Changjiang Fortress that made the decision to establish its base near the lake.�
This was partly done to avoid competition from other forces, and mainly because Lake Tai�s proximity to the sea made it easier for them to expand their influence.��
The man with a sturdy build was none other than Bok Seong-wan, the leader of Changjiang Fortress.�
He was also known by his nickname the Iron Rhino.1
It was said that in the distant land of the Western Station, there lived a huge mammal with a horn on its nose. With its horns, the said animal could attack even a tiger.
The mammal with a horn on its nose was called a rhino.�
Bok Seong-wan�s temperament and martial arts were similar to that of the rhino, hence his nickname, the Iron Rhino.
Bok Shengwan was a man of great ambition.�
He had recognized the importance of Lake Tai early on, which was why he exerted all his efforts to expand his influence and power in Lake Tai.�
Thanks to that, he was able to establish an undeniable force in Lake Tai.
There were dozens and dozens of ships docked at the pier. Each ship was large enough to accommodate dozens of people.
The Changjiang Fortress had boats stationed at key points along the small streams of the Yangzte River to collect tolls.�
While they made reasonable compromises with ships belonging to the large influential factions and forces, they were unrelenting towards those of smaller boats and insignificant factions.
As a result, Changjiang Fortress was able to establish its own kingdom on the island. They built not only a fortress but a full-fledged castle with a self-sustaining system.
This also allowed Bok Seong-wan to focus on the Changjiang Fortress without being affected by external factors.
One of the things that Bok Seong-wan was most concerned about was his relationship with the powerful figures in Lake Tai.�
These included the Nanjing sect, the Cheolsan manor, and the Sword Blossom Pavilion.
No matter how powerful Changjiang Fortress was, the strength of these three sects was not to be underestimated, so Bok Seong-wan tried to avoid conflicts and maintain an amicable relationship with them as much as possible.�
It�s for the same reason why he allowed his son, Bok Hojin, to join the Golden Heaven Sect, and befriend Zhao Yiguang.� JrNovels.com
