Chapter 111
Jin Horin, Sect Leader of Okho Sect, who had spoken earlier, met eyes with Yeong Ungok, head of the Yeong Clan, across the hall.
Yeong Ungok gave a slight nod, and after briefly locking eyes with several other sect leaders, Jin Horin opened his mouth to speak.
“This is truly unacceptable. Lord Seol promised to protect us, yet when we were actually in danger, where was he?”
That statement was picked up by Yeong Ungok.
“He's right. Lord Seol was absent, and during that time, Yangryeong nearly became a scorched ruin. This is entirely Lord Seol’s fault. It is only proper that we demand an apology from him today.”
The few sect leaders who had met Jin Horin’s gaze earlier jumped in to agree, fanning the flames of discontent.
Strangely, within the gathering that Unwi himself had convened, a laughable situation had unfolded where he was being openly condemned.
But it didn’t last long.
Dozens of men and women surged into the annex hall where the sect leaders were gathered and immediately surrounded them.
The sect leaders of Yangryeong looked around in alarm—then all eyes fell on one man.
He was walking slowly.
Step by step.
