Chapter 160
The King of Fists Hears of the Bloodshed at Baekjinweicheol
“This situation has a different atmosphere than the Five Tombs War.”
Dan Wuseong replied to Yisin’s words.
“How was it back then?”
“It was war. Army clashed against army. Our three generals didn’t step forward from the start. That Cheonma… how to put it? It felt like facing a general with exceptional mercenary tactics. A man who handled large armies with ease and skill.”
If Jeong Hong hadn’t handled it appropriately, only the masters would have survived, while the Wulin Alliance members and lesser martial artists would have been wiped out. We might have been pushed to the point where only the old ones survived and had to rebuild the White Path from scratch.
Dan Woo-sung pondered Yi Shin’s words.
‘Only the elders survive to rebuild the White Path.’
The words were peculiar.
Substituting the Demon Sect into this phrase somehow made sense of the schemes the Grandmasters of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace were perpetrating.
‘Only the elders survive to rebuild the Demon Sect.’
To do that, time would be needed. He surmised that the Grand Masters of the Ten Thousand Horse Palace were stepping forward to kill the Ten Great Masters of the martial world precisely to buy that time.
Danwooseong’s assessment was indeed an accurate reading of the situation.
Danwooseong asked.
“···About that sorcerer you mentioned.”
“Yeah.”
