Chapter 229: Turbulent Nine Dragons (8)
Three days later.
A vast crowd poured into the Grand Martial Arts Arena.
Failing to bridge their differences over the position of city lord, they decided to settle it through the Nine Dragons Tournament.
The Nine Dragons Tournament.
The only assembly holding higher authority than the Sect Leaders’ Meeting, where the nine Sect Leaders, the Castle Lord, and Mun Sang participated.
Qualification for attendance required at least a Silver Badge warrior rank, meaning it was essentially an event where all full-time officials serving in the Nine Dragons City participated.
Ah, for reference, I attended not as the former sect master but as a disciple of Master Beogung.
It’s against the rules, but in the martial arts world, isn’t martial prowess the ultimate authority?
‘…….’
‘I’ll, I’ll step aside.’
With just one glance from the master, everything was settled.
Rumble.
Endless waves of warriors poured in.
Though their numbers fell short of the Ten Demon Corps, which boasted ten thousand demons, their true strength was incomparable, and he nodded in acknowledgment.
But that moment was fleeting. Once the stream of warriors ceased, Mun Sang ascended the dais.
“……”
As this was the occasion to select a new castle lord following the previous lord’s death, no cheers erupted.
The warriors simply kept their mouths shut and stared straight ahead.
“We shall now proceed with the meeting to elect a new lord. In the name of Mun Sang, I hereby publicly declare that, according to the rules of the Nine Dragons Assembly, anyone present may freely voice their opinions.”
