Chapter 98 Moshan (3)
Zhi Sha Hong was satisfied with that explanation, but Nangong Tian, seemingly burdened by various troubles, earnestly urged Gu Yang Jie to keep several promises.
‘So after arriving, I’m to join the Martial Alliance members near Moshan…’
Gu Yangjie sank into thought as he headed toward Anhui, located between Huoguang and Jiangsu.
Considering Namgung Cheon’s position as Deputy Leader, it was a natural request.
If Gu Yangjie faced danger, the Martial Alliance, having known about it beforehand, would be in a difficult position. Especially since he was a prominent figure from the newly joined Huashan Sect.
It was rather surprising that Namgung Cheon had readily agreed to his request.
On the surface, it seemed like trust in him, but Gu Yangji shook his head lightly.
‘How well could he possibly know me? Nangong Tian wouldn’t trust me so easily.’
He would watch how he behaved.

‘First, I need to observe what kind of people the Wulin Alliance members there are.’
He also needed to reach Moshan as quickly as possible.
