Chapter 79 Martial Alliance (1)
“The recent movements of the authorities… …”
“Yesterday, you see. They crushed the Green Forest’s Houwang Camp…”
Buzz, buzz.
The banquet hall set up in the rear garden of the Martial Alliance was packed with countless martial artists.
Yet, their auras were anything but ordinary. They were far removed from typical Late-Stage cultivators.
Observing this, Gu Yangji scanned the martial artists with a look that said, “Well, well.”
‘Oh? Are they trying to dampen my spirits by summoning me alone now?’
A sneer formed on his lips. Indeed, late-stage cultivators like Ling Hezhe, Yang Zhixian, and Ye Qing were nowhere to be seen.
Surely someone was holding them back for a discussion.
Gu Yangjie shrugged his shoulders.
Ignoring it was the answer.
“Perhaps I’ll enjoy taking the lead for once.”
That single remark instantly silenced the bustling banquet hall.
An artificially created silence.
That manufactured quiet felt like it was deliberately pressing down on Gu Yangjie. It was likely agreed upon that way.
It was absurdly childish and pointless. But for a late-stage cultivator, this was the best they could do.
The dream of storm and cloud.
To achieve greatness with just one body venturing into the martial world—that was the very dream of a martial artist!
Therefore, he wouldn’t want to antagonize the Martial Alliance. The same applied to befriending the masters present here.
‘If things go sour, I’ll just avoid these guys and live my life.’
