The Divine Monk is simply too busy with official issues Murim Alliance Secretary Sama Ryong stated awkwardly.

The individual utilizing the unremarkable moniker Divine Monk was the one one within the huge Jianghu. This referred to Grasp Mu Myung, who had been the Murim Alliance Chief for many years.
Initially reticent within the energy struggles inside the alliance, he refused to jot down the invitation for the Dragon-Phoenix Convention.
Had it been the period of solely the Dragon-Phoenix Convention, it wouldnt have mattered, however this yr, the Seven Stars Convention was to be held concurrently.
If the Alliance Chief have been to jot down the invitation just for the Dragon-Phoenix Convention, whereas the Seven Stars Convention, led by the Seven Nice Clans, was taking place, it could undoubtedly result in controversy.
This time, it simply so occurs that the Seven Stars Convention is being held on the similar time.

Weve at all times participated within the Dragon-Phoenix Convention.
The Vice Alliance Chief stated its not essentially set in stone.
Is it as a result of this time, the Azure Forest accepted a baby from the Baek Noble Clan as a disciple?
Sending an invite to the Azure Forest from the Seven Stars Convention was unprecedented.
The reasoning appeared to concern the origin of the newly admitted Yi-gang.
-The noble disciple despatched by the Azure Forest; wouldnt it’s unimaginable to not create an eighth place within the Seven Stars Convention?
Thats what was written on the invitation.
Sage Ji Kyung regarded round, searching for opinions.
What do you all suppose?
The primary to reply was Do Seung, the pinnacle of the Academy Corridor.
Earlier than even contemplating honor, it goes in opposition to our precept of non-intervention. We can’t contain the disciples of the Azure Forest in an influence wrestle. Whereas taking part within the Dragon-Phoenix Convention, as we’ve already despatched our disciples, is okay, altering that’s problematic.
Sama Ryong gave a bitter smile on the blunt phrases. The response of different first-generation disciples was related.
Ji Kyung, with a delicate smile, stated, I see. We can’t substitute the Dragon-Phoenix Convention with the Seven Stars Convention. Is that alright?
In fact, she hadnt utterly gotten rid of Yi-gang.
However nonetheless, is it actually okay to go forward with out ready for Yi-gang?
When Jin Ri-yeon requested that, the third-generation disciples all waved their arms in unison.

Thats proper, have been gradual on our toes, so its higher for us to depart first. We have to go and get ourselves prepared in physique and thoughts to attend.
Their fervent response was sufficient to shock even Jin Ri-yeon.
Nicely, Yi-gang wont be alone, so it must be effective Alright, lets try this.

The third-generation disciples hurried their steps as if apprehensive Yi-gang may catch up.
Jin Ri-yeon saved glancing again as they left.
She may simply make out the Grand Library, the place Yi-gang and Dam Hyun have been, midway up the mountain.
Dam Hyun and Yu Jeong-shin stood aspect by aspect within the underground chamber of the Grand Library.
Even after a number of years, Yu Jeong-shin hadnt modified a lot.
He had a bit extra of a widowers air and regarded gentler, however these have been the one modifications.
However, Dam Hyun had modified considerably.

That alone was sufficient for Dam Hyun to belief Yi-gang.
In any case, Yi-gang had earned the belief of each his grasp and his senior brother.
This was why Yu Jeong-shin determined to lend a treasured Treasure to his disciple, who was getting ready to enterprise into Jianghu.
The Black Snake Belt doesn’t simply acknowledge its proprietor.
