Fade looked at the two of them and asked aloud, "What's going on with you guys? And now, what's the situation in Capital City?"
With that, Tarmon’s expression darkened, and he slowly explained everything to Fade.
Fade listened to him carefully. After half an hour, he had a general idea of the current situation of the martial arts forces in Capital City.
On paper, the nation' s officials shared governance of the country with the Martial Arts Alliance.
However, in the past three years, as the spiritual energy grew richer and stronger, more and more warriors appeared. As a result, the Martial Arts Alliance slowly dominated the co-governance, and its power had risen to the point where it began gradually suppressing the officials.
The officials did not wish to be marginalized, so they tried to expand their own forces too.
In the current society, a higher number and better performance of martial artists was almost equivalent to more power.
In order to attract more martial artists, the government had set up the Martial Arts Committee to recruit warriors outside the Martial Arts Alliance.
However, most of the martial artists were already recruited under the Martial Arts Alliance, especially the young elites. Almost all of them had joined the three famous academies as well as the Thousands Martial Sect.
The three academies were the top three famous martial arts academies in the country. They were Capital Martial Arts Academy, the National Military School, and Heroine Academy.
At the same time, the Thousands Martial Sect was the most well-known martial arts sect in the nation.
The Thousands Martial Sect had taken in almost all the elites of the major sects after the great change. Thus, it rose to become the current overlord of all the other sects.
These four forces were said to be the backbone of the Martial Arts Alliance. As for the other martial arts centers, academies, and sects, most of them had also joined the Martial Arts Alliance.
The Alliance was truly powerful.
Meanwhile, the Martial Arts Committee only managed to take in some obsolete martial artists and forces, or those who did not qualify to join the Martial Arts Alliance.
Some of them were influential martial artists close to Fade, such as the hidden family, Five Elements Squad, Hollace, and Lucille. They were originally the members of the Martial Arts League.
Among them, the most powerful person in the Martial Arts Committee was Saxen Chung, the head of the Chung family from the real martial arts family.
Back then, Fade had befriended Alicia Chung, the eldest daughter of the Chung family. He had gone to Prohibition Island and helped the Chung family defeat the Yuwen family, making the Chung family the most powerful family in the real martial arts family.
However, after the great change, many Martial Halls left Prohibition Island to settle down overseas.
For various reasons, save for Green Wood Hall, which lived in seclusion in the country, all the other Martial Halls chose to take root overseas. As a result, the development of martial arts in the nation fell behind the other countries.
Because of that, the Chung family from the outer island became a popular choice and had been invited to join forces with the Martial Arts Alliance to become one of the largest influences in the nation's martial arts industry.
However, after a discussion, the two parties failed to reach an agreement. Instead of joining the Martial Arts Alliance, the Chung family decided to join the less powerful Martial Arts Committee.
At that time, the others could not understand why the Chung family made such a decision. Only the insiders knew that the main reason was that the Chung family and the Martial Arts Alliance had a huge disagreement about Fade as well as his friends and relatives. Therefore, they did not reach an agreement in the end.
