Chapter 306
"Where are we going?" Asmara asked as we were traveling for three days straight.
"Henan," I replied.
"What is that?" She asked.
"A place where law doesn't exist," I replied.
The topography of the Murim was actually very simple. Three main organizations in the world of Jianghu, the martial artists, and then the government. While the imperial government held great power, they had no influence in the world of martial artists but due to an agreement, the martial artists also remained out of the affairs of the common people.
Of course, it was only for those at the top. Small-time organizations such as brothel masters, slave traders, or crime organizations still meddled in the affairs of the common people and sometimes they were used as well.
However, the government couldn't protect such small-time people and the martial organizations couldn't control such small-time criminals so they were usually left to their own devices and left to their own fates.
