Chapter 65 Rescue
As the group rushed forward, Namgung-woo observed the people around him.
Their expressions, actions, and the very auras they exuded offered glimpses into their fragmented emotions and thoughts.
Some appeared anxious, while others moved with a detached sense of duty. There were also those burning with ambition, their eagerness fueled by a desire for fame or perhaps to indebt the Zhuge Clan by rescuing them.
Yet, one thing they all shared was the conviction that this was simply what had to be done.
‘How strange.’
“What is, Gege?”
“Most of these people have no direct connection to the Zhuge Clan. Yet, they treat this mission as a given. Fame, reward, a sense of duty… or perhaps, faith in the clan itself. Is this what it means to be a clan?”
“Hmm, I suppose so. And it’s even more pronounced in the south. They’ve personally experienced how impossible it is to stand against the Unorthodox Faction Martial World when a Prestigious Great Sect, meant to be their pillar, vanishes.”
The fall of the Namgung Clan, once a colossal pillar of Nanzhili.
It was said to be the greatest shock of The Great Righteous-Demonic War.
With the Dokgo Clan’s dominion over Nanzhili’s martial world, it became a symbolic event, definitively marking the region south of the Huai River as territory claimed by the Unorthodox Faction Martial World.
Such was the immense influence wielded by a Prestigious Great Sect.
‘A clan… could I build one?’
