Chapter 54 The Four Seasons Orb
To be frank, the Azure Sky Unit, founded by Namgung-woo, had lost its raison d’être as a Wandering Martial Artists’ Group.
Why had they specifically chosen to identify as a Wandering Martial Artists’ Group rather than a Sect or a Faction?
It was because a Wandering Martial Artists’ Group was the most suitable for achieving two major goals simultaneously.
First, to move freely without being affiliated with any particular region or organization.
Second, to secure operational funds smoothly.
A Wandering Martial Artists’ Group was the easiest collective to achieve these two objectives, and the three of them had unhesitatingly established the Azure Sky Unit as such.
However, there was no longer any reason to be bound by those two major premises. For one, the second objective had been completely fulfilled.
Funds? With just the Five Tigers Token, they could receive unlimited support from the Hebei Peng Clan’s merchant guild’s branch families or their affiliated partners.
And that wasn’t all. Besides the Five Tigers Token, Namgung-woo possessed another Token of Trust, whose original owner was none other than Murong Hye, the mistress of the Hebei Peng Clan.
When leaving the Hebei Peng Clan, Murong Hye had given Namgung-woo her Token of Trust, saying it was all she could offer.
“I am already one who has left the family, so I dare not promise the assistance of the Murong Clan. However, I still have private property accumulated from my time in the Murong Clan.”
