Chapter 56 Extermination (1)
What had been dismissed as a mere momentary whim began to grow and flourish.
Exponentially.
Once small and medium-sized sects started banding together, they formed clusters and joined forces.
Hua Mountain and Zhongnan, already established as major factions, were no exception.
Their decision to join forces with the small and medium-sized sects, who could be considered local powerhouses, was like a silent protest.
‘We will no longer tolerate the Black Dragon Sect.’
In response, Cheolpunggae let out a hoarse voice.
“Seems the heretical sects are also making some noise, huh? Tsk tsk. Looks like they’ve wet themselves a bit.”
“For now, I’m content to see them cowering.”
At Gu Yangjeok’s words, Cheolpunggae sniffed and asked.
“By the way, have you decided on the target?”
Gu Yangjeok didn’t answer that question.
That was a different matter.
‘There’s no guarantee we can devour them completely, and even if we could, the damage would be too great.’
Cheolpunggae, who had been cautiously gauging Gu Yangjeok’s mood, grinned and said.
“Just looking at your expression makes me feel uneasy. I understand. We’ll see next time.”
“Congratulations on your promotion. “
At that, Cheolpunggae scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
The cord hanging at his waist was still a third-rank one, but his position had risen to that of a county magistrate.
Of course, Gu Yangjeok’s influence was largely behind this.
”Hey, you bastard Gu Yang—wait, did you say to call you ‘Master’? Ugh, tsk. I passed the examination thanks to you, Master.”
