Chapter 69 A Short Break
“Captain, I was talking to some other martial artists and heard something. They said the mastermind behind the Turmoil in Beijing last time has been identified.”
Since departing Nanjing, Namgung-woo and their companions had no separate means of gathering information.
The Clearwater Sect members were in the same boat. While a Mid-to-Small Sect’s intelligence network might be quite effective within its established territory, outside of it, they were hardly different from wandering martial artists.
However, the Danmok Clan members, from whom Yang Kwae had obtained this information, possessed an extraordinary intelligence network due to their deep ties with the Imperial Court.
“Who is it?”
“They’re called the Seekers of the Path in the Mist. People usually just call them the Shamanic Host, and apparently, Yi Ja-ryong was one of them.”
“Are they Public Enemies of the Martial World?”
This time, Yang Jeong replied.
“It’s ambiguous. Originally, they weren’t this aggressive, so they were merely under observation, but this incident has branded them Public Enemies of the Martial World. It seems the Martial Alliance and the Black Martial Alliance are still wary of the Imperial Court’s reaction.”
The name, when broken down, means ‘those who seek the path in the mist.’
Were they a group of Mystic Arts Masters? The abbreviation’s characters differed from the original group name. The fact that they were simply called the Shamanic Group suggested it was more of a derogatory term than a mere abbreviation.
