Chapter 69 (2/2)

“Where are we going now? Were we not going back to Homuryeon?”

“Huh? Didn’t we say anything?”

Cheon Chu-Shin Ui looked at Yeon Ha-rin. Then he turned his gaze and looked at Yoo Seo-yeon next to her.

Yoo Seo-yeon quickly whispered to Yeon Ha-rin.

“My lady, we are going to take care of the remaining enemies right now.”

“Remaining enemies?”

Yeon Ha-rin’s eyes became the size of a flower lamp.

Remnants. So, wasn’t it that they’re going to the home of those dangerous guys who attacked earlier?

It’s simple to know what kind of guys would be out there.

In addition, there was a master that was difficult to handle even for the Baek Li Jang Cheon.

Even if Baek Li Jang Cheon, who was now following, dealt with him, what if there are other masters like that?

“It’s going to be just us going there?”

Yoo Seo-yeon calmed down the surprised Yeon Ha-rin softly.

“We will go and see, and if it seems like we can’t handle it, we will just come back.”

Yoo Seo-yeon omitted the trailing words, ‘Although that will probably not happen.’

No matter how much she thought about it, she didn’t think they would lose.

Of course, it depends on who the enemy is, but she couldn’t imagine that Byeoktaesan would get done in.

“But… … .”

“Do not worry too much. It will really be fine.”

Yoo Seo-yeon said that and looked around the other people. Yeon Ha-rin followed Yoo Seo-yeon and looked at the rest of the people.

Everyone was so cool about it that she felt like a fool who was making a fuss for no reason.

As her mind calmed down by the surrounding situation, something else came into her eyes this time.

It was the Geumokruju.

It was the first time she saw her, but she was very pretty, and for some reason, her outfit was different from the other people.

“But she… Who is she?”

“Ah… the Geumokruju… So she is a Hao guild member, the Hao guild branch manager of Uichang to be exact.”

“The Hao guild?”

Yeon Ha-rin’s eyes narrowed at the word the Geumokruju, but her eyes widened when she said that she was the head of the Uichang Hao guild branch.

Now she understood the situation a little.

“So you must have tracked the remaining party with the Hao guild.”

“You are correct.”

Yeon Ha-rin looked at Byeoktaesan with a new look.

“Our lord, he really is amazing.”

Yoo Seo-yeon tried to say that love was making Yeon Ha-rin’s eyes blind. But when she thought about it, Byeoktaesan was fully worth hearing that he was amazing.

“Anyway isn’t it rude to make him walk like that? Shouldn’t we go and pick him up?”

Yeon Ha-rin glanced behind her and spoke.

Baek Li Jang Cheon was still following with the same distance.

He could have just walked up and asked where they were going, and asked to go together, but because he was acting like that she felt like she had to call him over.

However, no one in the party was interested in him. Only Yeon Ha-rin kept paying attention.

As Yeon Ha-rin continued to care about Baek Li Jang Cheon, Cheon Chu Shin Ui approached and said a little.

“Leave him alone. That old man, when something happens later, he’s just going to cut in and making a mess of things.”

“Sorry? No way.”

“And we are almost there anyway.”

At those words, Yeon Ha-rin looked ahead.

A man who seemed to be a Hao guild member in the distance was approaching quietly.

* * *

“So they are somewhere further inside?”

“Yes. I couldn’t enter anymore.”

The place the Hao guild member was at was an entrance to a small forest.

There were sparse trees, and there were large rocks everywhere, but the view was not secured properly because of the rocks.

This was the limit for the Hao guild member to approach without being noticed.

“Isn’t it possible that they moved to another place?”

“No. They are definitely in there.”

As Byeoktaesan stared at the Hao guild member, the Geumokruju, who was next to him, added an explanation.

“You can think of it as a sense of aura. It’s not a real aura, but they have a special sense that they have developed through long training.

“Then why wait? Let’s go in.”

Byeoktaesan said so and went inside.

The party urgently followed.

Baek Li Jang Cheon, who was following from a distance, quickly followed them into the forest.

Once inside, the Hao guild member’s ability shined.

He was very skillful and quickly looked at the trail to find the way the enemy had traveled.

They couldn’t walk fast, but they were able to move almost without stopping.

And soon a fairly large vacant lot appeared. And the vacant lot was surrounded by wooden barriers.

Inside the barriers, they saw several solid wooden buildings.

“The base was built very in earnest.”

Cheon Chu Shin Ui muttered like that and approached the barrier.

There was no one guarding. And there was no door going in and out.

If they had walked along the barrier, there may be a door, but Byeoktaesan didn’t intend to do that.

What Byeoktaesan did was to turn his head and look at Cheon Gyeong-wan.

Cheon Gyeong-wan stepped forward and drew his sword.

A deadly aura appeared on the blade.

Slice! Slice! Slice!

Cheon Gyeong-wan’s sword cut through the densely woven wood as if it were splitting tofu.

In an instant, he cut down enough trees wide enough that several people could enter and exit side by side.

Cheon Gyeong-wan grabbed the cut trees so that they would not fall on the floor, pulled them out slowly, and placed them on the floor.

Byeoktaesan was the first to enter. Everyone followed quickly, not considering the dangers that might wait inside.

The inside of the barrier was quiet.

As if everyone was inside the building, there was no one outside.

When Byeoktaesan and the group went inside quickly, a man came out of the building.

They were two men, but they weren’t half Kang-shi. But they were men who had learned martial arts.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon flew before Byeoktaesan gave an order.

Each of the two took on one.

Those who came out of the building panicked and drew weapons.

Clang! Thud!

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon struck the enemy’s sword in the exact same motion and struck them in the pit of their stomach with their fist.

The two men spit blood on the floor.

“Aghhhhh!”

Thud!

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon stepped on the two men’s throats, respectively.

They fainted as their faces struck the floor in the blood they spilled.

Yeon Ha-rin, who watched the scene, was really surprised.

‘When did her skills improve like that?’

Yeon Ha-rin was a person who knew Yoo Seo-yeon very well. Because they have been together for a long time.

She was also one of the few people she could open her mind to around her.

However, her martial arts was clearly better than hers.

So she was able to send Yoo Seo-yeon to Byeoktaesan as a guard. Even without Yoo Seo-yeon, she was confident enough to protect her body in Wuhan.

But now that she looked at it, Yoo Seo-yeon had become much stronger than before.

The movement just before was at a level that it was difficult for Yeon Ha-rin to imitate.

She was looking at Yoo Seo-yeon with such surprised eyes, but she heard a soft tongue clicking from the side.

“Tsk tsk, your bodies look sluggish. I should have kept you training instead of bringing you guys here.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon trembled at Byeoktaesan’s words.

Yeon Ha-rin was confused with the desperateness that appeared in the expressions and eyes of the two.

‘What the hell happened?’

Yeon Ha-rin’s gaze went back and forth between Yoo Seo-yeon, Cheon Gyeong-wan, and Byeoktaesan.

And in earnest, people started pouring out of the building
