Returning to the Northern Region was a smoother journey than when they left.
They didn't have to deal with bandits running rampant, as Namgoong and his people took care of the group terrorizing the area. It turns out the matter was related. This group was put in charge of scouting for children and letting the ones in charge know of their whereabouts.
They still weren't sure who the leader of the anti-demonic faction was, but Eun-woo told him that the Alliance was working on finding them. Wooyun wasn't too interested in finding out who the true mastermind was. As long as he didn't cause him or Baek Junghwa trouble, he would leave the matter to the professionals.
