Chapter 89: Things That Go Awry-1
Martial Alliance, Manqing Pavilion.
Chief Military Strategist Zhijian slammed his fist down on the desk with a furious expression.
CRASH!
“What?! That wretched Ji Ji-in of the Nine Yin Sect said such a thing?!”
The Wanqing Pavilion Master, kneeling before him, bowed his head again and replied.
“That is correct.”
“Eeek!”
The report from the Mancheong Pavilion stated that Gu Yueyin, who had gone to the Zhengxie Pavilion to deal with Siyang, had mentioned Zhuge Zhijiang’s name before Qingcheng and the Tang Sect.
Zhuge Zhijiang realized he had been set up.
Originally, he had planned to expose Zheng Xiefang and use that to pressure Xue Ma, who had broken the agreement. But that man had acted swiftly, disposing of Saryang with his own hands.
Up to that point, he could still understand.
After all, it was to prove to the martial world that they knew nothing about it, and to show that they were faithfully upholding the agreement.
But to bring up his own name, Zhuge Zhijiang’s name, in that context…
Zhuge Zhijiang clenched his teeth and muttered.
“That snake-like bastard…”
On the surface, the fact that they mentioned his name would seem to be their way of proving their own righteousness.
But in Zhuge Zhijiang’s view, that wasn’t the only reason.
His words would make martial artists believe that he, a military officer of the Martial Alliance, and by extension the Alliance itself, was still communicating with the Blood Sect.
