Chapter 109: Martial Alliance
Martial Alliance Military Council.
After being deep in thought for quite some time, Zhuge Jigang suddenly slammed his fist down on the table and shouted.
“It wasn’t the Sima family! Cheong-yeon! It was that child!”
Zhuge Jigang’s tightly clenched fist trembled violently.
All his doubts were finally resolved.
The incidents at the Zhengxie Sect and the Mountain Sword Sect, no matter how she thought about them, had felt off somehow.
The sword master who kept moving unpredictably, the sudden report about the Eight Generals of the Shadow Squad being wiped out after reporting on the Giant Demon and the Zhengxie Sect, and the story of the Five Brothers of the Dok who suddenly appeared in Zhejiang Province, performed absurd feats, and vanished—all of these.
Therefore, Zhuge Jigang even harbored suspicions that the figures from the Sima family he had brought down were beginning to stir once more.
Yet, despite thorough surveillance, no movement could be detected within the Sima clan.
Then, unexpectedly, a clue surfaced when she heard the names of those individuals known as the Five Poisonous Eagles.
‘Iron God Meteor Bae Jong-gwan, Swift Sword Mystic Heavenly Grace? I’d definitely heard those names somewhere before…’
But all he could recall was having heard the names somewhere before; he couldn’t remember where at all.
It was probably just a name that had crossed his path briefly, something not particularly important.
Then, the memory of where he had seen their names finally came back to him when he heard the news that the Sword Saint had begun compiling and managing a roster of discharged soldiers.
