Chapter 559

The martial artists sent their gazes to the platform.

In truth, it was difficult for them to handle the current situation. They hoped the leaders of the Nine Great Sects and Eight Great Martial Families on the platform would somehow resolve this crisis.

However, those on the platform were just as troubled. They weren't in those positions because they had the proper qualifications to lead others from the beginning. They were there only to gain greater benefits, without a shred of responsibility.

Those on the platform read each other's expressions. Either way they'd die the same, but it took courage to step forward first. In the midst of this, the sect leader of Heavenly Blade Sect spat out a rough curse and shouted.

"We were all deceived! By that abominable monster pretending to be a great hero!"

Color returned to the others' faces. Finally other sect leaders and family heads joined in, adding their words.

"That's right! Even now we must correct the natural order!"

"It's not too late. Let's help Poison Dragon eliminate the monster and establish justice in the martial world!"

The martial artists shouted in unison.

"Waaaaa!"

"Long live Poison Dragon!"

"Kill Baek Li-jung!"

Desperate cries burst forth. Some were so desperate they cried out with voices as if vomiting blood, frantically shouting the banner Baek Li-jung had raised.

"Chivalry without distance, demons completely annihilated! Peaceful martial world, great way protects all!"

Even the nuns of Emei Sect stepped forward.

"Great Hero Poison Dragon! Don't we already have acquaintance? We were once deceived by that wicked one's tricks and our judgment clouded, but all fault lies with that person."

"Please think of the greater cause first and forgive our transgressions."

The Namgung Family also hastily joined in.

"Great Hero serves our family's elder, the Sword King, so we are like blood-related brother families. We apologize for momentarily doubting the Great Hero's chivalrous heart. Please think of the greater cause first with magnanimity as vast as the sea."

Other sects also clamored.

"Rather than discussing past grudges now, it's more urgent to kill the great evil of the martial world, Baek Li-jung, together!"

"If we're together, we can surely establish justice properly in the martial world!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Kongtong Sect's sect leader Kunun Ten Absolutes drew his sword and shouted loudest.

"Our Kongtong Sect will lead in capturing him, so fellow practitioners, follow us to exterminate the demon!"

"Waaaa!"

"Waaaaa!"

"Long live Kongtong Sect! Long live Poison Dragon!"

Would it look like this if one chicken was thrown among thousands of hungry ghosts starved for eons?

Jin Ja-gang lowered his hand and looked at them.

Just moments ago, they had screamed to kill him. They had thrown malicious killing intent at Jin Ja-gang. There was no justification, no reason anyone could understand.

They simply needed a target to tear apart to survive, to succeed.

At first it was Jin Ja-gang.

Now it had just changed to Baek Li-jung.

Shiver.

He got goosebumps.

The scene of the Medicine Sect faction being thrown to those hungry ghosts' hands and devoured flashed before his eyes.

Jin Ja-gang's fingers trembled. The goosebumps that started at his fingertips spread throughout his body, his entire body trembling...

Baek Li-jung rolled his eyes up at the sudden shouting and looked around left and right.

Grrrrr... Even without reason remaining, he sensed the atmosphere. Rather, with wildness heightened to extremes, he was sensitive to atmosphere. He detected the hostile atmosphere pouring toward him.

The martial artists shouted while nervously watching Jin Ja-gang's mood.

Their expressions were very earnest. They looked at Jin Ja-gang so desperately, as desperately as could be. At this moment, only one person could decide their life and death and save them: Jin Ja-gang alone.

So naturally they watched Jin Ja-gang's mood.

Except for the dead, both the dying and the living all focused on Jin Ja-gang.

The earnest gazes of thousands poured onto Jin Ja-gang.

"..."

"...?"

But... the Murim Alliance's martial artists were confused again.

As Jin Ja-gang looked at them one by one, weren't there tears welling in his eyes?

They gradually filled up, finally on the verge of falling.

Jin Ja-gang suddenly knelt on the spot.

Then...

He began to vomit.

"Uurk! Uuuurk!"

Jin Ja-gang vomited violently as if to empty everything in his guts.

The Murim Alliance martial artists were bewildered, not knowing why. They were also startled with fear that perhaps Jin Ja-gang was seriously injured by Baek Li-jung.

Then should we take Baek Li-jung's side again?

For now they could only waver and focus on Jin Ja-gang.

Jin Ja-gang only opened his mouth after vomiting until nothing remained, after vomiting so severely he even spat blood.

"Great Buddha..."

Jin Ja-gang said.

"Great Buddha was the masterpiece created by the Hungry Ghost King's meticulous plan. Great Buddha was the completion point of the Hungry Ghost King's plan."

It wasn't a loud voice, but everyone was listening. They couldn't miss Jin Ja-gang's words.

"However... Baek Li-jung is different. He is merely a byproduct created by adding intense personal greed to the Hungry Ghost King's plan. A byproduct of his greed maximized, stopping at nothing to succeed, even annihilating his in-laws."

Doubt rose in the eyes of the martial artists gathered at the Murim Alliance.

Jin Ja-gang wiped his mouth and raised his head.

"What about you?"

The Murim Alliance's martial artists stared at Jin Ja-gang blankly.

So what?

So what are you saying?

Jin Ja-gang bit his lower lip tightly. His disgust for those looking at him showed plainly.

As soon as Jin Ja-gang escaped their grasp, the hungry ghosts swarmed to Baek Li-jung.

"You are the dregs of yet another byproduct parasitizing on a byproduct. Carelessly slandering and killing others for profit, thinking nothing at all of killing others to survive yourselves."

Crack!

Jin Ja-gang ground his teeth. Killing intent extended in streams.

Crack, crack.

The flagstone floor Jin Ja-gang was standing on cracked. Fissures in the ground began spreading outward from Jin Ja-gang.

Here lay another reason why martial artists of countless weak sects including Hundred Flowers Valley had to die for no reason.

Crash! The flagstone floor Jin Ja-gang was standing on shattered.

Bloody tears flowed from Jin Ja-gang's bloodshot eyes.

"As long as you're alive, such things will repeat and repeat again. Therefore I..."

Bang! Boom! Bang!

The cracked flagstones and floors began bursting in succession.

Jin Ja-gang's rage reached its peak.

"Absolutely, you all, not a single one will I let live."
