Chapter 155
Two elders, five first-generation disciples, and eight second-generation disciples had died.
Among the Namgoong Clan’s martial artists, three had also perished.
Their funerals were postponed.
Officially, it was said to be so that the remnants of the hypnosis technique in the affected could be treated first. In truth, it was to root out any remaining spies that had yet to be exposed.
Instead, flames of mourning were lit across Mount Hua to honor the dead.
Beacons burned both day and night to commemorate the spirits of those lost.
The disciples of Mount Hua wore their formal robes and restrained their voices. No one laughed or spoke carelessly.
This incident had been a deep shock not only to the youngest disciples but to even the eldest elders.
“We must erase Yu Gang’s Taoist name from the registry and strip him of his martial arts. Was he not brought here by No Un? There is no way he could have known nothing!”
“I agree. No matter how exceptional his martial aptitude may be, the one who taught him betrayed the sect. He could not have led him down the proper path.”
“However, that child truly seems unaware. Are there not disciples who were saved by him? Holding Yu Gang accountable is too much, Sect Leader.”
“I think so as well. To go so far as to abolish his martial arts and expel him would be excessive.”
