Chapter 66

Chapter 66:

The Great Leader of the Wulin Alliance was in distress. The Sky Demon Order have declared war against them, this is unprecedented and a disaster for the entire martial world.

The Sky Demon Order have more than one hundred thousand martial artists under them. That number is enough to conquer the entire martial world if led by a great figure.

Although there have been many skirmishes against them for the past hundred years there has never been an all out war. Everyone is always keeping it under control because if it ever happens not just the martial world but also the common people will be affected whether they like it or not.

But now, the cult have disregarded those and started to fight truly.

"This is the price we must pay for being arrogant." Yi Mok muttered. He too is among the arrogant people among the alliance but he came to realize just how grave this situation is.

Even though he was hailed as the Great Leader of the Wulin Alliance he became too arrogant and let his people be complacent. And now they are going to pay the price of it.

"Great Leader Yi Mok." A man with a long beard and an ascetic robe came inside the office. It was Poong Chungwon, the Leader of Mount Hua sect and one of the Seventeen Heroes of Wulin. He was also one of the envoys when they met up with Cheon Yeowun when he was still the lord for an alliance.

"The forces of Jiangxi Province are gathering, Great Leader." He said to him as he handed over a handful of papers.

"So three armed forces from Jiangxi. And about their commander?" Yi Mok asked.

"Strategist Jeagal suggested that it should be one of the seventeen heroes available, as appointing one of the three sect leaders from either of the three sects will create dissatisfaction with the rest."

"And who's on your mind?"

"Might I suggest the Thundering Fist Hwangbin Seo."

"Oh! I guess he's capable enough."

"Very well then, since our intel said that the Demon Cult's forces are still two months away, we have enough time to call him here and do some preparations."

"Call the Thundering Fist here at the Headquarters, I'll meet him myself."

"I shall do so, Great Leader."

"You may take your leave."

*****

Seven Days later the Thundering Fist Hwangbin arrived at Henan where the Wulin Alliance Headquarter was located.

The Thundering Fist's appearance was unlike his title, normally if you hear such an imposing title you would imagine him as someone with a big burly chest and big stature but instead of that he looks like your average middle aged man.

If not for the martial robes he was wearing no one would've thought that he was a martial artist.

As he approached the gate of the Headquarter Poong Chungwoo was standing there to meet him. Upon seeing Hwangbin, Poong Chungwoo smiled and approached the latter.

"Old friend." He greeted with his warmest smile.

"Oh you old bastard, I was going to spend my days finding a new successor but here you are bothering me."

"Haha, I'm sorry my old friend, duty calls and we the people who are meant to bring justice must carry them."

"Sigh… your way with your words truly never stops to amaze me."

"Working in Wulin Alliance you pick up a thing or two."

"Then shall we meet the Great Leader?"

"Lead the way."

"Very well then, follow me." Poong Chungwoo led Hwangbin inside, the Wulin Alliance Headquarter was very big, it took them about 10 minutes just to reach Yi Mok's office.

"Go ahead I'll wait here outside." Said Poong Chungwoo to Hwangbin, the latter nodded and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A deep and powerful voice responded as the door opened telekinetically.

'Ohhh! As expected of the North Justice Blade.' Hwangbin muttered inside his mind.

"Greetings Great Leader Yi Mok! I'm Hwangbin, also called by many people with the embarrassing moniker of Thundering Fist." Hwangbin cupped his hands as he greeted Yi Mok. The latter nodded at the man and returned his greeting.

"Your title was not embarrassing at all, in fact it was well deserved. I could feel a strong fist energy coming from you. That's the testament of how well you deserve your title." Yi Mok complimented which the latter accepted with a smile.

"I appreciate your remark, Great Leader."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a minute. After the two exchanged their words of pleasantries Yi Mok changed the topic.

"Thundering Fist Hwangbin, you must be wondering why I have called you here right?" The Great Leader of the Wulin Alliance asked, then suddenly the air changed. If a minute ago the air was fluttery and light, now it has changed into a heavy atmosphere. Truly, he was not just a skilled martial artist but also a great politician.

'As expected of the Great Leader, he can change the atmosphere of a meeting with only one move.'

"I was given a vague explanation but not yet the full detail, Great Leader."

"I apologize for that." Yi Mok said but even though he was apologizing his words didn't sound like that at all. It was more like hearing a threat.

"No need to apologize, Great Leader."

"Very well then let's get into the main topic of this conversation." Hwangbin stiffened at Yi Mok's words. He straightened his back as he became alerted. He readied himself for the oncoming storm ahead.

"Thundering Fist Hwangbin Seo I will appoint you as the commander of the Forces of Jiangxi, I want you to lead them to stop the advance of the Demon Cult." Yi Mok declared.

'Sigh…. I knew this was coming…' Hwangbin said inside his mind.

Actually this is a great opportunity for him. If he became the Commander of the Jiangxi United Force then he will gain a foothold in Jiangxi, after that he can establish himself as more of a prominent figure and even create a sect. This was great for him since his martial arts still has no successor and his main goal from the start was to revive his clan. This was a god-given opportunity for him.

"I accept this honorable position with eternal gratitude, Great Leader!" Hwangbin bowed and thanked Yi Mok.
