Chapter 233: Lord Baekgung Baek
“…….”
Everyone in Guryongseong who witnessed Baek Sang-ji’s death fell silent.
It was understandable.
Too much had happened in just one day.
As everyone stood speechless, Mun Sang stepped forward.
“The Dark Poison Corps, seize the leader of the White Dragon Sect!”
He summoned the Shadow Guard, the former lord’s personal bodyguards, to arrest the White Dragon Sect leader, while ordering all members of the White Dragon Sect and Silver Dragon Sect to be placed under house arrest.
Simultaneously, he addressed all attendees of the gathering.
“The situation is unfavorable, so we shall conclude the assembly as it stands. We will hold another assembly in the near future, so the disciples of the Nine Dragons Sect should return and await the next gathering.”
Truthfully, it was an unavoidable choice.
After all, Baek Sang-ji, having lost his mind, had completely destroyed the Grand Martial Arts Arena.
It was supposed to be the castle lord’s inauguration ceremony. How could it possibly proceed in a place that was completely destroyed?
But everyone who attended the Nine Dragons Tournament knew.
The next lord is Master Bukgung.
After leaving the tournament grounds and heading back.
As we entered a deserted street, the master coughed up blood.
He must have held it in until the end, unwilling to show weakness.
“Cough. Cough…”
“Are you all right?”
As I hurried to support him, he scolded me.
“I don’t need help from someone who just hid and watched.”
