Chapter 302: The Great Law
“Master! This humble servant, Gao Shangzong, will henceforth serve you with utmost loyalty! Please accept me as one of your men!”
“Master! We, the Yeodeng Samgeom, though our skills fall far short of your men, if you select us, we shall serve you to the best of our abilities!”
After the Four Kings, Gwaegal Hyeon, departed, an unexpected outpouring of loyalty pledges erupted below the hill.
These were pledges of loyalty offered to Seolpung by those who had once served under Gwae Jeonggi and Gwae Hanggi.
As soon as the Four Kings departed, they rushed toward Seolpung as if they had been waiting for this moment, kneeling before him and begging him to accept them.
Now that the Gwe brothers had been eliminated as candidates to succeed the Four Kings, they intended to make Seolpung their master, as he had emerged as a powerful contender for the position.
Among them was the White-Bone Demon Hong Choo, once Zheng Qi’s sworn enemy.
Seeing Hongchu kneel before Seolpung, Jeongchil clicked his tongue and muttered.
“Tsk, tsk. These bastards who discarded their former master like a worn-out shoe are quite loyal, aren’t they? What kind of warlord are they? Do they have three fathers?”
Though he muttered under his breath, there were no masters here who couldn’t hear his voice.
No, it seemed he had intended them to hear it all along.
At his words, the masters who had knelt before Seolpung cleared their throats uncomfortably.
