“U-urgent report! The full force of the Righteous Alliance is currently heading south toward the Society's main headquarters at great speed!”
‘!!!!!!!’
At the completely unexpected and sudden report, Dark Division Master Hwan Ya-seon rose from his seat, frowning as he asked, “The full force of the Righteous Alliance is heading south toward this place?”
“That is correct, Division Master.”
“Seeing your attire, you must be from the southern Hubei branch. At what point did you receive this news?”
“Th-that is…” -Thud!
Axe-Shattering King Ho Tae-gang slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and raised his voice.
“Can you not speak clearly?”
“I… I learned of it as they were preparing to cross the Yangtze River.”
‘!?’
At the messenger’s report, the great hall was filled with a momentary, cold silence. There were two reasons for their reaction.
Discovering this while they were preparing to cross the Yangtze River meant one of two things: either their movement was so swift that none of the branches noticed the Righteous Alliance's forces heading south from Henan Province to northern Hubei, or all the branches had already been wiped out.
