Tang Sochu asked Pyo-wol.
�So, you�re saying that a person named the Wind Saint took Shin-woo in order to protect him? Do you think his words are true, brother?�
�It didn�t seem like a lie.�
�Hoo�!�
Tang Sochu heaved a deep sigh.
Last night, Chengdu was turned upside down again.
A third of the slum was burnt down by the fire that Yo Sulyeong had set, so Chengdu was swept away in great chaos. Thousands of people have lost their homes and are left wandering the streets.
The public sentiment, which had barely been managed, became ferocious again, and the atmosphere on the streets was more serious than ever.
All of this was due to what the Seven Stars did. And the reason they did this to Chengdu was to catch Nam Shin-woo.
�What kind of secret did that kid have that made him the target of such big names? Even more, for the Wind Saint��
�You know about the Wind Saint?�
�How can I not know? He is an absolute powerhouse who stands shoulder to shoulder with the masters of Two Factions, Sects, Three Clans and Three Manors. Even children know that fact.�
�Tell me more.�
What appeared on Pyo-wol�s face was more than just curiosity.
He knew very little about Jianghu. His knowledge was limited to Sichuan Province, and even that was only fragmentary.
He was so focused on revenge that he didn�t have much interest in Jianghu�s general information, but now has to change his ways.
�I don�t know much either. It�s the same as what everyone else knows.�
�Just tell me what you know.�
�Where should I start? Oh! The Two Factions are undoubtedly the strongest sects of Jianghu, but in reality, both have just been recently established within the last 100 years. It�s just that the achievements left by their first sect leaders were so great that they are considered as the strongest sects.�
�So what are their names?�
�The Insane Martial Arts and Cheon Mujang. The Insane Martial arts is a sect created by Lee Gwak who ended the War of the Demons and Heavens. While Cheon Mujang is the sect that has Jang Cheonhwa as their sect leader. Jang Cheonhwa is also the one who destroyed the Celestial Demon Union. The Insane Martial arts became the strongest power in Jianghu because of the halo of Lee Gwak, while Cheon Mujang became the strongest power by attracting many people with its enormous financial power.�
It is said that the current sect leader of The Insane Martial arts is Lee Cheong, the son of Lee Gwak, and for Cheon Mujang it is Jang Cheonhwa.
The Insane Martial arts is made up of purely martial artists, while Cheon Mujang is a combination of the aristocrats and martial artists. In terms of force alone, The Insane Martial arts was far stronger, but if money and power were taken into consideration, the Cheon Mujang was no less powerful.�
The Sects following the Two Factions were the traditional sects: the Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, and the Mount Hua Sect.
They, who had been in seclusion for a long time, opened their door starting from the War of the Demons and Heavens and jumped back into the affairs of Jianghu again. Since they made a big contribution during the War of the Demons and Heavens, their names became widely known for their strong traditional martial arts.
The Three Clans is a term used by combining the three sects: Heavenly Dragon Valley, Martial Sword Sect, and the Heavenly Guardian Association.
Prior to the War of the Demons and Heaven, the superpowers were called the Ten Clans since they ruled in ten equal parts, but later on only three of them survived so they became the Three Clans.
The Three Manors, as the name suggests, are three manor houses, which were created after the War of the Demons and Heavens, and were said to have stored up great power compared to their short history.
They are called New Moon Manor, Spirit Sword Manor, and Rain Mountain Manor, respectively. JrNovels.com
