Chapter 120 A Gift
The atmosphere within the Martial Alliance was in disarray.
No matter how much they tried to conceal it, the sheer scale of Namgung-woo’s actions meant that rumors inevitably spread.
“The Heavenly Feather Sword…”
“Then Elder Seomun was truly one of the Seekers of the Path in the Mist?”
“Unbelievable. The Heavenly Feather Sword I knew was a man of righteousness and chivalry!”
“Perhaps the Martial Alliance Leader, fearing conflict with the Imperial Court…”
“Oh, man! You’re speaking treason. What kind of person is the Martial Alliance Leader?”
“But didn’t the Martial Alliance Leader specifically hire the Commander of the Azure Sky Unit to intervene? The Alliance has many talents, so why…”
“If even the Thunderous Quake Unit Commander couldn’t prevail, then who else could they entrust it to? Even a Commander-level from the Eight Guard Units, let alone Great Hero Heavenly Feather Sword—though I’m not sure if I can still call him that—would find it difficult to fully stop him, wouldn’t they?”
“That’s true, but…”
The general sentiment circulating within the Martial Alliance was roughly as described.
Some doubted whether Heavenly Feather Sword Seomun Pyo had genuinely colluded with a monstrous group to assassinate the Yi Royal Prince. Others, while accepting this fact, were displeased that such a crucial task was entrusted to an outsider, Namgung-woo, rather than an internal Martial Alliance member.
