Chapter 111 Prelude
When Deung Jong-yu first came to find him, Namgung-woo assumed it was a disciplinary action for his reckless dash through the city the previous day.
He wasn’t sure if there were laws against speeding in this era, but causing a disturbance within the city would certainly warrant intervention from the public authority.
In the Martial World, the Martial Alliance wielded power comparable to a national government. Furthermore, within Luoyang, where its main hall was located, it openly handled public order, having been granted some public authority by state institutions.
Given that the Martial Alliance possessed both the justification and the actual power to intervene in disturbances within Luoyang, it was understandable that they would seek him out.
However, as Namgung-woo followed Deung Jong-yu into the Martial Alliance’s main hall, he revised his thoughts. The situation might be far more serious than he imagined.
Unlike before, people were bustling about the Martial Alliance. They seemed busy with preparations for the Martial Arts Tournament Main Round and the ongoing Alliance Assembly.
Yet, amidst this everyday, busy atmosphere, Namgung-woo discerned a subtle undercurrent of unease.
It likely meant there was something ordinary martial artists and servants were completely unaware of.
‘Is it related to the Alliance Assembly? Brother Peng didn’t mention anything.’
An embargo, or rather, a Gag Order, might have been issued, preventing internal matters of the Alliance Assembly from being disclosed externally.
