Chapter 84 Jin Zhu Yan Family (2)
During his journey from Houguang to Shanxi, Gu Yangjie pondered deeply.
The reason Jin Zhu Yan Family attacked Huashan Sect, and why they hadn’t attacked in his previous life.
These were two entirely separate issues. Perhaps it was karma born from his own actions.
‘If they intended to strike, they could have done so long ago, not just now.’
That meant a reason to strike had arisen. Otherwise, the Pearl Sword Sect would have no need to bear the dishonor of a preemptive strike.
Just then, Cheolpunggae suddenly asked.
“It’s close enough to touch if you lift your head. Have you found the answer?”
“The answer came long ago.”
But Gu Yangji frowned and muttered softly.
“It just takes time to gauge what will happen afterward.”
“What will happen afterward… Well, it won’t be small. It’s the head of the Yange family, who conquered Hebei alongside Pang, being cut off.”
If what Gu Yangji had done so far was a whirlpool of incremental change, this time it was a storm.
Once it swept through, the heavens would shift, and countless chains of causality would transform.
Within that, the Huashan Sect was by no means the stronger party. It was even possible that Nangong Tian might once again take up his abacus.
But was he just going to stand by?
‘That’s not what I want.’
Gu Yangji lightly tapped his cheeks with both hands. His face, briefly clouded, was now brimming with confidence once more.
Cheolpunggae watched this and let out a faint chuckle.
“Kid, that’s just the sort of thing that suits you.”
