Chapter 161 Dark Clouds (1)
Receiving the wine from Gu Yangji, Zhi Sha Hong stared intently at him for a brief moment.
If there was any lingering regret before severing all ties in the martial world and retreating to seclusion, it was undoubtedly the Martial Alliance.
Decades spent traversing the land alongside the Black Wind Brigade were bound up there.
Putting aside his thoughts about the Martial Alliance for a moment, Zhi Sha Hong began in a weak voice.
“The events of these past two years… all stem from the past.”
“The past…?”
Gu Yangji tilted his head in confusion, and Zhi Sha Hong sighed deeply.
“Do you know when the Martial Alliance was founded?”
Gu Yangji nodded lightly.
“I heard it was formed by the righteous sects after the war with the Nine Demon Sect.”
“You know your history well.”
Zhi Sha Hong’s gaze lingered on Mu Yan Chang.
“After the war with the Nine Demon Sect, the Martial Alliance represented the righteous sects to bring order to the chaotic martial world and aid the half-ruined sects.”
“……”
At those words, Gu Yangjie thought of the Taishan Sword Sect. His words didn’t align with the sect’s situation.
But now was the time to listen to Jie Sha Hong.
While Gu Yangjie set aside his concerns momentarily, Jie Sha Hong’s story gradually delved deeper.
“The Black Wind Brigade was the vanguard of that Martial Alliance.”
“To say they were the vanguard means…”
“They eradicated the black-cloaked forces preying on weakened sects after the war, and in exchange for aiding the government in annihilating the northern tribes, they received gold and valuables.”
