Chapter 78 The Battle of Yunmeng

“What kind of relationship…?”

The sudden, unexpected question left Namgung-woo speechless.

Instead of Namgung-woo, it was Zhuge Jong who answered Zhuge Jun’s query.

“Your disrespect goes too far! Retreat at once! This is a Clan Head’s Order issued by me, the Acting Clan Head. If you defy this, I will no longer consider you my nephew and will command you to enter Secluded Training!”

Zhuge Jong’s eyes seemed ready to pop out.

Who was Namgung-woo? He was the benefactor who had saved Zhuge Jong’s only child, and though bound by a request, he was the one who had averted an unprecedented crisis for the Zhuge Clan.

Furthermore, Namgung-woo’s role in the upcoming war was immense. Both the Zhuge Clan and the Banun Faction were powers that did not possess a Peerless Master, one of the Three Extremes and Twelve Revered Ones. Even with their current allies, this remained true.

Thus, the Zhuge Clan had vaguely estimated Namgung-woo’s skill and believed the scales of victory would tip in their favor.

That was, until the Banun Faction suddenly produced a Peerless Master from who-knew-where.

Now, Namgung-woo’s importance had escalated from “it’s good to have him” to “he is absolutely essential.”

His significance was even more critical in the current situation, where the Martial Alliance and the Black Martial Alliance remained silent, delaying their support of Peerless Masters.
