Chapter 224 Descent (6)
“The Sichuan martial world has been pacified.”
“……”
At Cheolpunggae’s words, Gu Yangjeok stroked his chin and remained silent.
It was unavoidable.
Since the battle at the imperial court, the Huashan Sect had been kept in check by other sects, and rumors circulated that Gu Yangjie himself had ties to the imperial family.
As rumors spread throughout the martial world that the True Spirit was actually Dao Cheol’s creation, the scrutiny grew even more intense.
Even the Open Sect was not free from various internal conflicts.
It seemed their sudden expansion had sparked internal strife among the elders.
Though Cheolpunggae had avoided such troubles until now… Gu Yangjeok found it difficult to assist him, precisely because he was a confidant of Cheonwagae, the master of the Open Sect.
Gu Yangji suddenly let out a hollow laugh.
“Fellow martial artists are being wiped out one after another by a suddenly appeared master. Yet not a single one questions it.”
“His pure internal energy is one thing, but I hear he uses some sort of Taoist martial arts technique.”
As he spoke, his frustration seemed to grow, and Cheolpunggae pulled a flask from his robe.
“The ambitious ones have already done their calculations. They’d rather have this sudden, mysterious figure smash them to pieces than owe a debt for help.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing the ruthlessness of the martial world, Gu Yangjeok let out a bitter laugh.
