Chapter 162 Return
The Martial Alliance swiftly and cleanly concluded the Seonpung Unit’s transfer procedures. This clearly demonstrated that the Martial Alliance was not directly involved in the Sword Family Blood Feud, thus extinguishing the embers of The Great Righteous-Demonic War.
While it was a loophole, if the Black Martial Alliance had decided to seize upon it, the embers might have reignited. However, there was no news from the Black Martial Alliance.
The Black Martial Alliance that instigated The Great Righteous-Demonic War was different from the current one. Before The Great Righteous-Demonic War, the Black Martial Alliance had nothing to lose; they were challengers rebelling against the existing hegemony. Now, they had long become a new hegemony themselves.
With something to lose, it wouldn’t be easy for them to act as aggressively as they did during The Great Righteous-Demonic War.
Having completely settled the opening of the second phase of the Sword Family Blood Feud, Namgung-woo, as he had planned, visited the Murong Clan to show his face, then crossed the Naksu River.
Unlike his visit to the Murong Clan, Namgung-woo was now alone.
Peng Ha-ryeong had silently expressed her desire to follow, but Namgung-woo gently sent her back.
It was both disrespectful to Zhu Yixiang, who had suddenly taken charge of Cheongdangon, and since only Namgung-woo had been formally invited to the Yi Royal Palace, he intended to go alone.
It was his first time alone in a long while.
