Chapter 359: The Lion War
Upon hearing the news of the Nine Dragons Fortress’s advance, Li Yuling, the chief military commander of the Lion Alliance, dropped the teacup she was holding.
“Ah…”
Seated at the highest level of the military headquarters, she cast a complex gaze toward the Lion Hall where the leader was secluded.
War was expected.
After all, the relationship with Nine Dragons Fortress had crossed an irreversible river.
Not only had they clashed numerous times in the past, but recently, with the descendant of the North Palace family, North Palace Baek, becoming the lord of , the Lion Alliance had launched full-scale operations.
The crowning achievement was persuading Baek Sang-ji, the Heavenly Sword and father of the White Dragon Sect leader, to draw the White Dragon Sect’s sword of rebellion.
Of course, since they left no trace or evidence, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the White Dragon Sect did not suspect the Lion Alliance had intervened.
The fact that Baek Moo-ha, the eldest son of the Baekryongdang, had defected to the Lion Alliance was proof enough.
Thanks to this, the Lion Alliance could eliminate half of the entire Nine Dragons City’s forces without getting their hands bloody.
The problem was the Dragon-Slaying Army’s commander, Jin Mujeon.
Whether he suspected the Lion Alliance’s involvement or not, he staked the sacred artifacts of the Mountain King Association and the Water Dragon Sect to host a bizarre tournament called the ‘World’s Greatest Martial Arts Competition,’ drawing in the leaders of both sects.
