Chapter 12
As soon as the decision to retreat was decided, the Murim League hurried to prepare..
The Amcheon Army was stationed less than a day, or even half a day away..
There was no time for trial and error..
After briefly explaining the operation, questions were kept to a minimum and proceeded almost simultaneously..
“We would like to join Sadochian in Jiangxi or Zhejiang, but it is impossible because the Yangtze River blocks us, so we retreat to Hubei and Henan..”
If you go west from Anhui, you will reach Hubei, and if you head northwest, you will reach Henan..
Fortunately, the Shaolin Temple is located in Hanam and the Wudang Sect and Zhuge Sect are located in Hubei, so there was no need to worry about safety..
“Gocheon's forces will be divided into four..
About two thousand people will buy time at headquarters, and in the meantime, three thousand people will retreat, divided into three groups of one thousand each..”
“To speed up the retreat.?”
“That's right. It is also used to disperse the enemy's pursuit..”
The army is powerful, but its movement is limited..
Simply marching takes a considerable amount of time..
Because of this, the Murim Alliance had an advantage in retreating..
“If you succeed in retreating, there will be no problems after that..
but……”
“The process is ridiculously difficult..
My head is already giving me a headache as I don't know how to stop that big army..”
Wu Baek pressed his temples as if he was in pain..
“There's nothing to be afraid of!”
Peng Gunpyeong showed unfounded confidence as always..
“It is the center of the martial arts faction and the headquarters of the martial arts alliance. What is there to be afraid of?.
It's not like an all-out war, but retreating isn't that difficult..”
“Ugh! I wish I was optimistic!”
Hwanggyeon sighed..
“No, this guy?”
Tendons sprouted from Peng Gunpyeong’s forehead..
“It may not be as simple as Elder Namu Amitabha Paeng said, but I think it is pointless to be concerned from the beginning..”
As the atmosphere worsened, Hye-no intervened..
“I think so too.
Since the Murim Lord and Emperor Gwon Dong-je are at the headquarters, I think it will be possible even if there is a difference in numbers..”
The Gyeongin incident helped Hyeno mediate and agreed..
It wasn't just for mediation, it was sincere..
Although the Murim League was outnumbered, their morale did not drop..
The martial arts faction was naturally small in number, so being surrounded by a large number of people was something they were accustomed to, but since it was the headquarters, there were many experts and elites, so they were not easily scared..
Above all, the headquarters has the Taegeuk Sword and Gwondongje among the six seats of heaven..
Although morale rises, it does not fall..
“Besides that, doesn’t Ki Moon-jin exist in the Murim League?.
If you use it well, it will be of great help..”
Hefei's headquarters is as old as it is, so it's almost like a fortress..
Over the years, there have been many wars, including the Great War, but the number of times the headquarters has fallen can only be counted on one hand..
As the experience has been accumulated, there are many defense facilities and a considerable level of defense equipment..
“It is said that if you go too far, it is worse than not going too far..
It's okay to worry, but you shouldn't be complacent either..”
Zhuge Shang's words were engraved on the upper level..
“Amcheonhoeju's inaction has not yet been properly revealed, but from what we have heard, it is important to note that he is a monster who subjugated the Heavenly Demon by force..
This is something the Sword God has warned us about several times, so please keep it in mind..”
gulp.
Someone swallowed nervously.
If someone else had said it, I would have thought it was Kang Ho's exaggerated rumor, but since it was Geomshin, I couldn't take it lightly..
At first, when I heard that even Cheonma was not the owner of Amcheonhoe but an executive, I couldn't believe my ears and then was shocked..
Oh my god, you have Sangcheon as your subordinate!.
I couldn't believe it, but I opened my mouth wide open to see that it was true..
“If the Amcheonhoeju appears, the only people who can stop it are the Maengju and Elder Kwon Dongje..
In case of an emergency, we ask that you both do not step forward and monitor the situation..”
“I understand.”
“I will leave the details to the judgment of the elders..
Then, I will see you after we successfully retreat..”
bang! bang! bang!
The Murim Alliance guards locked the gates in each direction..
We prepared defense by placing obstacles in front of us..
“As the soldier ordered, Ki Moon-jin's preparations have been completed..”
Hwanggyeon reported.
“Thank you. Then, I would like to ask you to retreat later..”
The first retreat was 3,000 people..
The person in charge was Hwang Gyeon..
It was natural that he was quick on his feet as expected of an open-minded person and was also well-versed in the surrounding environment and roads as a member of an intelligence group..
It was also a perfect role for him as he was able to clearly discern between right and wrong and was quick to turn his head..
Before the retreat, I helped prepare the Murim Alliance's Qi Moonjin to be activated, and now it is time to leave..
“The enemies are approaching, so please retreat to the path of the bamboo forest as quickly as possible..”
“I understand.”
The retreat route was the hideout of the former Murim lord, Nangong Weimu..
Since it was surrounded by Gimunjin, it was possible to evade the enemy's pursuit, and since there was a passage open only to the upper levels of the Murim Alliance, it was perfect for a retreat..
Zhuge Sang turned his back and looked straight ahead..
A group of Murim Alliance masters waited for the military's order..
“As mentioned in advance, the Eight Jindo (八陣圖) will be activated at the moment the door to the headquarters is broken and the enemy enters..”
‘Paljindo!’
It is said to have been created by Zhuge Liang, the ancestor of the Zhuge Dynasty and a former Shu Han Dynasty minister and strategist..
In fact, it was a Jinbeop (陣法), not a Kimunjin method, but it was studied and improved into a Gimunjin method over later generations..
In addition, this Paljindo is as difficult as it is powerful, and because it costs a thousand pieces of gold, there are only two places in the martial arts world..
The first is Zhuge Shiga, the place of creation, and the second is the center of the Wulin faction, the headquarters of He Fei's Wulin League..
“As soon as the eight doors break and enemies enter, they will randomly fall into different locations..
Even if you try to go back, you will get lost because the location of the door is constantly changing..”
The Murim League headquarters has eight doors, including the main gate..
The initial architectural design itself was created with concern for Paljindo Island..
This is because the power of Paljindo is not normal..
Of course, as it was famous for being difficult, there were very few true practitioners in the Zhuge Dynasty who could properly bring out the power of the Ba Jin Dao..
One of them was Commander Cheon, Zhuge Sang..
It was not for nothing that he ascended to military service at the age of less than 30 and was revered as a genius from a young age..
“In the meantime, you need to deal with as many enemies as possible..”
“I'll keep that in mind..”
Woon-kwang shook his head..
Kwaang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight doors shook violently..
“Coming in!”
The guard warrior shouted and warned.
The faces of the warriors reaching Icheon were tense..
Kwazijic!
“It breaks!”
Kwaang!
Eight doors broke almost simultaneously.
Pieces of wood and iron flew, and the Seven Star Soldiers, dressed in black uniforms, entered while shouting..
“Wow!”
It was literally like a swarm of ants..
The broken door vomited people out..
“climb over the wall!”
A group of Seven Star Soldiers also came up on top of the wall..
“Wow!!”
The moment they climbed up the wall, their bodies were pierced by spear blades shooting up from below..
“organ?”
“It is an institution!”
Unless the enemies are stupid, they can't just come in through the door..
Of course, we also took measures to deal with that..
It was an organ device..
‘I'm so glad it was reorganized again..’
As it is the center of the martial arts faction, the headquarters has several security measures in place..
It is a technology that has become obsolete in modern times, but in the past it was often used, although not mainstream..
Didn't the thieves of 300 years ago also use the Three Eyes Shintu?.
However, since it was neglected, it had not been maintained and had little use, so it was left to rust..
‘If Seung-gye hadn't been there before when he came to the Murim Alliance, I wouldn't have been able to use it. Thank you, Seunggye..’
It was fortunate that it could be reused like this, just by replacing broken items or a few parts..
Of course, not everyone can do it..
It was of such a high standard that it was installed by a professional technician at the time, and if it had not been for Zhuge's succession, it would still have been unused and dormant..
“Ugh!”
“Cough!”
It wasn't just the bars that reacted as weight was placed on the fence..
A barrage of memorized weapons coated with extreme poison was fired, or poisonous smoke was spewed upward to block the enemy's intrusion..
In fact, only the walls were built, making it an impregnable fortress..
“Oh, why come out here??”
“Aren’t you the centurion next to you? why are you here?”
The situation at Palmun was just as confusing..
I went through the south gate, but what appeared was the northwest gate..
It wasn't even fixed, the place each person entered was the same, but the place they arrived at was a completely different place..
Not only was each individual embarrassed, but the formation and command system were ruined due to the chaos, making it a mess..
The confusion was even greater as the colleague I had been working closely with for as little as a few weeks or as long as several years had changed..
“It's time! Hit it!”
The attack began with Panggunpyeong, the vanguard..
“Ahhhh!”
“Wow!”
While Amcheongun was in confusion, the masters distributed and deployed at Palmungak location showed off their martial arts skills..
As expected from the elites of the political faction, none of them were ordinary..
As is characteristic of political factions with at least a large number of adherents, the military power of each individual was unusual..
Also, as expected from a prestigious political faction, the passing list was also unusual..
“Geon (乾), maintenance. Change Tae (兒) and Son (異). Intersection of Li (離) and Jin (震)……
Move to the north-northwest of the Life Gate and change to the Death Gate..”
Zhuge Shang stood in the center and gave orders..
The pupils move up, down, left and right to check the location of the battlefield..
It only stopped for a moment.
My mouth muttered something, but I couldn't read it..
He was not in charge of general command, but was coordinating the Eight Jindo..
Paljindo does not end once it is activated..
In order to continuously change the position of the eight gates, the objects that made up the formation had to be moved like chess pieces..
With the folded fan in his hand, Zhuge Sang took a posture that only the soldiers and a few warriors could recognize, and that was a signal..
When the military camp located near the Palmun Gate saw it, it relayed it to the warriors, and they moved the object and changed its location..
‘It's amazing!’
‘I never thought I could operate Paljindo so perfectly.!’
To operate Paljin Island, a person must be from the Zhuge Dynasty to maintain confidentiality..
As a result, most of the current military corps came from collateral branches of the Zhuge family, and they also knew how difficult it was to fight the Eight Jindo..
‘Not only do we check and react, but we also calculate the movements of the warriors and give orders..’
‘How many people have been able to operate Paljindo so perfectly??’
‘It is truly an earth dragon, no, a warrior of heaven.!’
Although he is a political fanatic, he has a flexible way of thinking and is not conceited or arrogant..
Easily admits and reflects on mistakes for the next time, and devises strategies for what to do even at that moment..
He boasts control of information and social skills, and is well-versed in politics. He is also fearsome in handling administrative tasks..
He is very resourceful in martial arts, and is also fearless and does not behave arrogantly..
Not to mention his personality, he tended to stay away from alcohol and women..
What was even scarier was that he wasn't even 30 yet and that he was still growing..
And among them, he was showing the Gimunjin method, which was the most important technique and had been taught since childhood..
“Is this Paljindo?……!”
The elders were also astonished by the power of the heavenly shattering power..
‘Isn’t this just a visualization of imagination?!’
Woon-gwang was inwardly surprised and swallowed his voice..
It wasn't wrong.
Visualization has the effect of manifesting a person's will in the form of martial arts, ignoring the laws of physics..
Paljin was the same too..
Although it is a science rather than martial arts, it goes beyond extremes and displays mystical power by ignoring the laws of physics..
The image of Zhuge Liang, or rather, the Zhuge family.
Paljindo, space).
It was truly a culmination of the Kimunjinbeop and the ultimate drama..
“No, if we had kept this hidden, there would have been no need to retreat.!”
Penggunpyeong swung his sword with an excited voice..
As an elder of the Murim League, he showed off the skills of a world-class expert..
When he applied force to his arms, which were as thick as logs, his muscles swelled greatly, showing off his great strength..
Befitting his honest and cheerful personality, even if the enemy blocked his sword, he did not stop and pushed away his weapons and cut flesh..
“Panga, please control your hot-tempered personality.!”
Hwang Gyeon warned Pang Gunpyeong when he showed arrogance..
“How can you stay still when your enemies can't move??
Despite the numerical difference, they are superior.!”
Penggunpyeong laughed, ‘Hahaha’.
There was some truth in what he said..
‘This is worth a try.’
‘I was nervous because it was a dark event, but it was nothing..’
‘There are two people in an organization I didn't even know existed, including the Eight Masters and even the Sixth Place of Heaven, so there's no problem..’
‘If you think about it, aren't the people sitting here the leaders of the Murim Alliance, or even the martial arts faction?.’
‘Maybe I was too scared.!’
‘The soldier is truly humble..
You underestimated yourself so much..’
There were quite a few people who agreed with Peng Gunpyeong’s words..
I wasn't afraid of Amcheongun, but I was a little nervous because I heard that his martial arts skills were not normal..
But when I tried it in person, it was smoother than I thought..
‘no.’
But Master Cheon’s thoughts were different..
It wasn't just Zhuge Sang.
Some people quickly felt uncomfortable and realized the true nature of their anxiety..
‘The number of people entering the building is lower than expected..’
It seemed like a lot when I broke the door and entered, but as time went by, it wasn't as many as I thought..
After a while, the number of corpses of the vanguard began to exceed 1,000, but that was the end..
It was not because the enemy was persistent, but because the number of the vanguard was small..
What was even more concerning was that the enemy's masters, whose names would have been obvious, were nowhere to be seen..
‘The number was read.’
Zhuge Sang frowned..
‘No, it is natural that the numbers were read..
There is no way that a party leader who knew about Paljindo would not have told it to the society..’
Tang Myeong-in was part of the Murim Alliance's top secret black spirit department and was tacitly in charge along with the Poison King..
The principles and operation of the Paljindo were under the authority of the Zhuge family, so I did not know the details, but I knew roughly what it was like..
‘But even if you know, there is nothing you can do about it..’
The Pajin method of Paljindo is divided into three types..
The first is to destroy the Eight Gates without leaving a trace without entering from the outside..
If you do that, you will lose the Eight Jindo, but if everyone retreats during that time, that is enough..
The second is to go through a maze whose location and path are constantly changing and reach the central palace where Zhuge Statue is located..
If you kill the Jinbeopga, the Paljindo will stop..
The third and final plan was to push the internal Murim Alliance forces with increasing quantities until they were exhausted..
In this third case, Zhuge Sang planned to block as much as possible until he got tired and then retreat..
In theory, our army had an overwhelming advantage..
‘Are you planning to destroy Palmun from the outside??’
Perhaps due to internal chaos, enemy troops were no longer coming in after the vanguard..
Given the circumstances, it seemed like they chose to minimize unnecessary damage and destroy it from the outside..
It was never a bad choice.
It may mean missing out on 5,000 troops, but one way is to take out those who are quick-footed and send a chase party..
but something was strange.
‘Things are going ominously easily..’
There is no problem with the circumstances alone..
He said that the judgment of reason was also a pointless worry..
However, something caught in my heart..
In this way, uncertainties such as sixth sense are one of the things that must be ruled out in the military..
clouds one's judgment.
Like Zhuge Sang, this is especially true for literary men rather than military men..
‘What is it.’
Excited. Excited. Exciting.
Your pulse starts to beat quickly..
A chill ran down my spine..
My body trembled slightly..
In the meantime, there were no gaps in the operation of Paljindo..
He was indeed a soldier sent from heaven..
‘What is this?……’
The moment the anxiety reached its peak, someone's voice struck the eardrums of not only Zhuge Sang but also Li Chun..
“Indeed, this is Qi Wenjin, worthy of being hidden as a secret weapon by the Murim League and the Zhuge Dynasty. I was honestly impressed..”
“……!”
The atmosphere has changed.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but a middle-aged warrior walked through the southern main gate starting from the middle palace..
There was no fear or hesitation in those steps, but rather they were majestic..
Pang Gunpyeong, like the hot-tempered man he is, was about to shout, “What kind of bastard are you?” when he closed his mouth..
The face became serious..
There was none of the excitement shown just moments ago..
It was not just the elders of the Hebei Peng family..
The fiercely clashing battlefield suddenly stopped as if time had stopped..
“Take a step back.”
In frozen time, the leader of the political faction who was waiting in the rearguard moved alone..
It was Taegeuk sword Ungwang..
There was none of the softness that was usually evident in his eyes..
Instead, he had sharp eyes like a well-forged sword..
“It was a good decision to send the vanguard and experiment as Cheonki said..
The Eight Jindo of the Murim League was a masterpiece..”
“Amcheonhoeju……”
Woon-kwang twitched his beard and muttered..
There was nothing surprising.
All of the martial arts people present also intuitively guessed that the elderly martial artist was Amcheonhoeju..
There are few people in the world who can overwhelm a total of 3,000, or about 2,000 warriors just by appearing..
“okay.”
The owner of Dark Heaven smiled arrogantly..
“I am the master of Amcheon, the conqueror of martial arts, and the best person in the world..
Nice to meet you, leader of the faction..”
I raised my head slightly and looked down vaguely at the audience..
The arrogance that only the absolute can show stood out on his face..
But no one said anything about that attitude..
Far from looking strange, it looked very natural..
I felt a pressure that overwhelmed my surroundings and made me bend down..
Beads of sweat formed on my forehead..
‘What, what? This?’
‘Such an intimidating feeling……’
If I hadn't learned martial arts or had been a third-rate martial artist, I might have kneeled and prostrated myself a long time ago..
I can't help but think that the intimidation of Sado Heaven's absolute master and defeatist army would not be this much..
He was a monster who possessed everything: the spirit of an informant, the intimidation of a leader, and the strength of a warrior..
If you were an absolute expert, you would always be full of energy and look like an ordinary person, but Amcheonhoeju didn't show any signs of that..
It's not that he can't control his power, it's that he seems to be saying that there's no need for it..
“It's surprising that, unlike typical Kimunjin, it's not a high-level hallucination, but actually distorts space..
I've heard that it's possible to break the law not only with martial arts but also with Ki Munjin to the extreme, but I never thought it would be to this extent..”
The soldiers made incomprehensible expressions..
It was a natural reaction since I didn’t know about visualization..
“It is said that the Murim lord is Taegeuk Sword Ungwang..”
Woon Gwang came out and stood so as not to block Zhuge Sang's view..
“Martial arts, Amcheonhoeju. Do you mind if I ask a question??”
“The generosity of this throne is wide, so it is good to have as much as possible..”
“Why do you do this??”
“You mean the conquest of the martial arts? You're asking a strange question..”
Amcheonhoeju slowly pulled the sword from his waist..
“Taegeuk Sword, what would you do if you put the sword in the hands of a swordsman? It's the same thing.”
There was tension around Amcheonhoeju’s movements..
My stiff body slowly loosened up..
“If you ask someone who wants to climb the mountain why they want to climb the mountain, the answer you will get is because the mountain is there..”
Amcheonhoeju’s eyes shone brightly..
“People always dominate someone and are dominated by someone.
In the process, everything from small disputes to national wars arise..
That's history, that's true.”
“Sincerity… … is it?”
I could feel the anger in Woon-gwang’s voice..
“Jang Mun-in of the Shaman faction, are you going to teach me the ‘Tao’??
If that's the case, stop it..
Just hearing a story full of contradictions and hypocrisy makes me uncomfortable..”
Amcheonhoeju snorted in an arrogant manner..
“You call it a conflict of ideologies and beliefs, but objectively speaking, it is nothing more than an excuse and nonsense that can be heard anywhere..
Isn't it just a fight for the benefit of individuals and groups, regardless of whether it is the government or the martial arts government?.”
Amcheonhoe coldly sneered..
“Yes Inooooooom!”
Woon-kwang's shout rang loudly..
“Is there such a reason? At best! Is there any reason like that?!”
Taegeukgeom’s beard trembled..
“Some of your followers want to change Moorim for a better world.!”
Those who turned their backs on political affairs and joined hands with Amcheonhoe, although their methods were wrong, their intentions were not bad..
Distinguishing and discriminating against people based on their origins and military achievements.
They were also tired of the corruption of the establishment and wanted something to change..
This martial arts world is distorted.
“Not only did he carry out numerous massacres simply because of his greed, but he also trampled on the hearts of his followers with lies, deceived them, and made fun of them.!”
“I like the sight of a sage who is said to have realized the truth of Taoism being swayed by the seven passions..”
Amcheonhoeju slightly bent his knees..
“I feel like the story is going to be long... … kiln.”
Chaeng!
For a moment, cognitive dissonance occurred..
Zhuge Sang let out a mesmerized voice..
“uh……?”
My body floated up..
It was due to an external shock..
When I came to my senses, Ungwang's sword was standing horizontally in front of me, and beyond it, Amcheonhoeju was smiling ominously..
I couldn't understand what happened.
After speaking, I closed my eyes and opened them, and Amcheonhoeju appeared as if he was still in the same place and stretched out his sword..
And I don't know when Woon-gwang moved, but he laid his sword horizontally and blocked Amcheonhoeju's sword..
‘why?’
But my body came to mind.
The fan I was holding also fell..
I use my extraordinary brain to understand the situation..
‘shock wave.’
the sword didn't reach.
However, the fact that the body freed itself of its own will and rose up on its own means that it was hit by a shock wave..
Zhuge Sang was astonished that even though Shang Tian Yuk Jwa blocked the attack, the shock wave was transmitted and his body was blown away, but several thoughts came to mind at Am Tian Huai Ju's actions..
‘They targeted me, not the leader..’
It is not just about breaking the Pajin method of Paljindo..
Unlike his predecessors, the new Murim lord lacks experience as a lord and is poor at politics and strategy..
In other words, the soldier would have figured out that if he fell on this spot, he would naturally collapse the center of gravity..
‘Dangerous.’
It wasn't just martial arts that was scary..
Judgment is also great..
‘His legs turn quickly, and although he looks arrogant on the outside, he doesn't look down on his opponent or let down his guard... … It's the same type as Geomshin..’
The great thing about Geomsin and Ju Seo-cheon was that he never let down his guard even though he had an absurd level of inaction, and even then, his resourcefulness and judgment were excellent..
A monster beyond common sense.
A hard-working genius who naturally wonders whether such a person really exists..
‘If it is as I expected, Amcheonhoeju did not come alone to deal with 2,000 people at the same time..’
It was questionable from the beginning.
After sending out a thousand vanguard troops, he entered alone..
‘Amcheonhoeju, truly a scary person..’
I was so impressed and overwhelmed that I kept my mouth shut, but everyone probably thought I was crazy..
Even if his martial arts skills reach the upper heavens, he cannot face the elite Yi Cheon of the martial arts faction on his own..
“box… … Cough!”
Before Zhuge Sang could speak, he coughed up blood..
dump.
Fortunately, I didn't fall far..
I was able to lessen the shock thanks to someone supporting me from behind along the way..
However, the shock wave caused by Amcheonhoeju’s sword attack was more outrageous than expected..
My internal organs were all throbbing, and my ribs were in severe pain..
“Military!”
“Military, are you okay?!”
Screams erupted here and there.
“Cough, Cough!”
Zhuge Sang wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and raised his right hand to signal the holding of the Eight Jindo swords..
Fortunately, although the soldiers and samurai were a little surprised, they were faithfully carrying out their roles..
“jeon… … it's okay… … More than that, it's a trap.”
“trap?”
Zhuge Sang swallowed the boiling blood, calmed his voice, and answered the question..
“The retreat is dangerous..
At least 3,000 to 5,000 people, probably Tang Myeong-in or Cheongi, are looking around to find a way out..”
“Truly a soldier of heaven..”
The image of Zhuge Liang was captured in Amcheonhoeju’s black eyes..
‘what should i do?’
It was truly a desperate crisis..
Considering that they were targeting Paljin Island, it was clear that about half of the troops would be waiting behind them..
In this situation, I couldn't let the main force retreat with Woon-gwang..
The moment you retreat, five thousand troops will come over..
Other than that, I'm probably just exploring around here..
Ignorant numbers of 10,000 were not used just for raids..
“How to do it……”
It was when I inadvertently muttered out of frustration..
someone passed by him.
“Take over the main force and chase after the chase group..”
Zhuge Sang's eyes widened..
The person who passed by was a boy who seemed somehow tall..
If I were to be honest, I was just before I became a young adult..
“……?”
Beyond the Taegeuk sword, Amcheonhoeju also opened his eyes wide and looked surprised..
Then he burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha. What is that like, Kwon Dong-je?.”
Kwon Dong-je, an absolute master whose time went backwards, was Jeong Baek..
“They said I didn't have much time left to live, but it seems like that was true..
Or is that proud stubbornness broken??”
“Nobu will be in charge of serving Amcheonhoe..”
“If he grows up just a little bit, he won't even be able to be called Gwon Dong-je..”
A deep smile spread across Amcheonhoeju’s lips..
“Shit!”
Hwang Gyeon crumpled his face and swore..
“It’s been a while, Elder Hwang..”
Tang Myung-in looked at Hwang Gyeon with cold eyes..
“It's been a while?
It seems like this guy betrayed Kangho and ruined the etiquette between seniors and juniors.!”
Hwang Gyeon rolled his head while swearing..
‘I don't know what's going on at headquarters, but our numbers have been read..’
The three thousand members of the Murim League retreat group tried to leisurely escape Hefei through the bamboo grove that was the back door of the headquarters..
The bamboo forest was bigger than I thought, and the road was complicated, so it took some time to find the way, but there was no problem..
It was a smooth retreat until they reached the halfway point and split into three groups of one thousand to confuse the chase..
But then there was the problem.
During the retreat, a strange presence was felt, but a group of people blocked the way..
It was the former Black Young Lady, Poison Dragon, Tang Myeong-in, and Amcheonhoe..
“It seems that the people of the martial arts faction really like to hide things since ancient times..”
The party leader looked around as if in a bad mood, then made a displeased expression..
“Good luck finding this place.”
Hwang Gyeon snorted and bluffed..
‘How many people are there? Who are you surrounded by??’
But on the inside, I was drying up..
“The Dark Lord, who is connected to the Murim League's underground prison, has also prepared a separate passage outside just in case, but there is no separate exit from the headquarters.?”
It was just as Zhuge Sang had worried..
The retreat party was caught in a trap..
Tian Qi was wary of Tianjun and Zhuge Sang..
Zhuge Sang is different from other political figures..
‘Just like you, keep in mind that in the past, people knew about the Black Spirit, tolerated it, and used it for strategy..
Their thinking is not only solid, but also vicious, so if there is no chance of victory, they will inevitably try to retreat regardless of their pride, fairness, or whatever else..
Hoeju will be in charge of the eight gates, so we will be in charge of the retreat party..’
The main unit and squad were formed..
The squad led by Tianqi and Tianqiu divided into several branches and searched the surrounding area to find a retreat center..
The fortunate thing among the misfortunes for the Murim Alliance was that they had no choice but to spread as widely as possible since they did not know the exact route of escape..
‘Just by looking at it, it's about four to five hundred.?’
Powwow!
A dark cloud appeared on Hwanggyeon’s face..
In the hand of the party master, there was a bamboo tube that was spitting out red smoke..
“If you're thinking about getting out, you'd better give up.”
crispy!
When I put pressure on my hand, the bamboo tube broke..
No, crumbled was the correct expression..
It was swallowed up by the miasma and scattered like burnt ashes..
