Chapter 209 Chamhyun (2)
News that Gu Yangdi had cleaved the heavens spread like wildfire.
Of course, some scoffed, claiming the rumor was greatly exaggerated. But the guests staying at Huashan Sect had seen it.
The solemn and beautiful sword energy drawn by the True Sword held in Gu Yangji’s hand.
What else could one call the divine sword that had cleaved the heavens in two in that instant?
Yet Gu Yangjeok passed by without uttering a single word about it.
For if he gained too great a reputation before confronting the Imperial Palace, it would hinder his movements.
Yet his silence only deepened the awe.
He had reached such heights before even reaching his mid-twenties, yet expressed humility through silence.
Since the fall of the Martial Alliance, such talent was rare in the martial world where everyone had begun revealing their greed.
No, none existed at all.
Moreover, even now, while the martial arts clans of Gangseo and Gangdong were vying for dominance, only the martial arts clans of Gangbuk, centered around the Daoists of Shaanxi, remained silent.
Even the Wudang Sect, favored by the imperial court, was observing Huashan’s rise.
How to interpret this? Connoisseurs, well-versed in history, knew the answer.
-The new martial world will be reorganized around Huashan!
Without a drop of saliva on their lips, the connoisseurs praised Huashan with fervent voices. It was also a sight to behold, how they pricked up their ears, hoping even a crumb might fall their way.
Paradoxically, however, the Huashan Sect did not welcome this.
