Chapter 101 The Martial Alliance Assembly
It was at the very moment Namgung-woo was receiving a visit from Peng Ja-ryeong that the Yang brothers were out and about in Luoyang’s marketplace. It was their usual inspection, a blend of gathering information and scouting for talent.
“It’s quite bustling, isn’t it?”
“The Alliance Assembly is about to begin, after all. Most of the major powers have already arrived.”
Only about five days remained until the official start date of the Martial Alliance Assembly, as announced by the Martial Alliance. So many people had flocked to the city that Luoyang’s Initiation Ceremony couldn’t even be properly held.
“Still, coming early was the right call. There are no rooms left in any of the Inns.”
“We started noticing the signs yesterday.”
Still, the Great Factions wouldn’t have to worry. Even if they didn’t reserve Inns, they likely owned at least one Manor in Luoyang. The reason these Prestigious Great Sects could move at a more leisurely pace than others was their established strongholds.
“But are there any places that haven’t arrived yet?”
The Sichuan Tang Clan had already made it all the way from distant Chengdu. There were truly only a few Nine Great Sects or Seven Great Clans farther from Luoyang than the Sichuan Tang Clan.
“The Sichuan Tang Clan arrived the day before yesterday, and the Zhongnan Sect yesterday… Oh, come to think of it, the Peng Clan hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Ah… I completely forgot. With Young Lady Peng here, I thought the Peng Clan must have arrived. And I forgot about the Zhuge Clan too. How can they be later than the Sichuan Tang Clan? That makes no sense.”
