Chapter 120
Tension hung thick in the Grand Hall of the Murim Alliance.
“I shall summarize the decision made by the Murim Alliance Council.”
It was the Grand Strategist of the Murim Alliance, Sagong Ui, who spoke, holding a crane-feather fan in one hand.
“The conflict between the Wudang Sect and the Cult of the Evil Way shall be brought to an immediate end. Neither side shall be held accountable for the damage they inflicted upon the other. From this moment forward, any violation of this arbitration by the Murim Alliance Council will be met with a total prohibition on aid from any affiliated sect.”
Elder Un-oh, the Wudang Sect's representative, trembled with rage.
“Are the representatives truly going to let the Cult of the Evil Way's atrocities be swept under the rug like this?”
The faces of the representatives from the Eight Clans and Five Great Families of Murim hardened.
“If it were Shaolin or the Namgung Family that had suffered, would you still support such a decision? Venerable Monk Jingun, Hero Chang-ae—I dare you to answer!”
Venerable Monk Jingun of Shaolin stroked his white beard in silence, while Hero Chang-ae of the Namgung Family nervously clattered his teacup.
Then, Jegal Choryang, representative of the Jegal Family, raised a hand.
“Master Un-oh, would you ask the same question of the Jegal Family?”
Master Un-oh flushed red.
