Chapter 73 Banun Faction
The moment those words left his lips, Namgung-woo surmised their true objective.
Wuhan, the very front yard of the Zhuge Clan. No matter how powerful the Zhuge Clan was, they couldn’t control who entered Wuhan. That was strictly the domain of the government offices.
The Non-Interference Between Officials and Martial Artists. As per this famous, commonly accepted taboo, the government offices would simply watch from the sidelines, like observing a fire from across the river, even if martial artists engaged in a bloody slaughter.
Even now, constables were present on this very street. Yet, they merely whispered amongst themselves, observing the martial artists. They showed no intention of intervening, even in such a volatile situation.
Even if the Zhuge Clan and the Banun Faction openly occupied the street and fought like this, the government offices wouldn’t intervene as long as they didn’t overtly involve the Common Folk.
However, regardless of the government offices’ passive stance, the Zhuge Clan’s prestige had suffered a significant blow at this moment.
Unorthodox Faction Martial Artists couldn’t be stopped from entering Wuhan? Everyone understood that much.
But the Zhuge Clan needed to ascertain how many Unorthodox Faction Martial Artists were in Wuhan and what they were plotting, to prevent their Stirrings beforehand.
After all, they were the de facto rulers of Wuhan and a party to this war.
The Zhuge Clan’s prestige had already taken a major hit the moment their most crucial reinforcements, the Wudang Sect, clashed with the Banun Faction on the streets of Wuhan.
