After quieting down the surroundings, the test started again. Since we had already finished suppressing the baseline, the remaining tests did not take very long.
In fact, there was no test at all.
“I told you to pick just seven, right?”
The personnel tense up at my words. There was tension in the expressions of those who had been filled with dissatisfaction and anger until just now.
It’s funny. I only showed you a little bit, but it changed so much.
‘This is why I think Joongwon sucks.’
It starts with strength and ends with strength.
Although it seemed very convenient, it seemed very primitive. Of course, it wasn’t my intention to take advantage of it so well.
“The number of people is a bit large. But it’s a waste of time to bother.”
He waved his hand roughly and said.
“You choose your own.”
“yes?”
“What is that…?”
People around me react more to my words. Was it really that strange to be told to figure it out on your own? Of course, it meant it as it was.
“Either vote or have conversations…or not.”
He added words while looking at the person watching from afar, Cheonma.
“They fight against each other and get picked. “I’m telling you, do it yourself.”
This is the most reasonable solution.
How convenient is this? It was the quickest way for everyone to understand.
“As for the time… I guess half an hour would be enough. “You can decide for yourself.”
I waved my hands roughly and walked without hesitation.
Even though he turned his back and moved without any problem, his energy was still focused on the Heavenly Demon.
I looked at Mo Yong-hee with caution in case my expression stiffened or collapsed. Mo Yong-hee was looking at me with an expression of bewilderment.
“…Would it be okay?”
“Tell me to take care of it. “If you don’t like it, you can change it as you wish.”
“No, not selecting people.”
Oh, wasn’t that what you were talking about? So what is it?
Mo Yong-hee looks behind him. It was the one that had thrown the man away earlier.
“I heard you are from the Murim League.”
“ah. huh.”
“How did you know?”
Mo Yong-hee also asked this as if he was amazed.
How did you know? It wasn’t that great of a method.
“Most people who come to vote have no affiliation.”
I don’t know why those people came because Baekhwa Sangdan offered such good conditions.
No matter how good the conditions are, people will not come to a place they belong to.
Especially if you have reached the peak or mature peak, it would be better to work as an escort or a member of a sword corps for a prestigious family than to perform a funeral.
‘It’s amazing that even in such a situation, people like that were gathered together.’
First-class, and further from there to a fully mature peak.
If people who want to make a name for themselves come here to ask for help, one wonders what conditions Mrs. Mi would have put forward.
Looking at this point, it could be said that the expert has come under strict conditions, regardless of whether he belongs or not.
“For something like that, the breathing was very neat.”
Meanwhile, problems were clearly visible.
“Do you know what the characteristics of famous families and prestigious families are? “There is no distraction.”
Breathing is organized and movements are angular. A unique poomsae that preserves dignity in one’s behavior.
This was not something that could be easily erased.
“It seems like he wanted to somehow pretend to be a ronin or an ordinary warrior… but he looks a little too obvious for that.”
“You saw something like that?”
“huh.”
Mo Yong-hee-ah speaks as if she is surprised, but in reality, she is not that surprised. This was simply because Mo Yonghui’s level was low and he could not see it.
“A person born into a famous family would not have come to that level just to commit suicide.”
He has a nice attitude to be considered a ronin. The level is high to make a speech.
A person like that will only suffer losses if he comes here. But in the end, I came here anyway.
‘There was a reason to come.’
It is possible that Gosu, who ran away after an accident, came here because he had nowhere to go, but this has been ruled out.
‘It doesn’t feel that way.’
Then there is only one thing left.
“You said there was something you had to infiltrate and get… Then it’s obvious.”
There are few places where you can have a master born in a famous family pretend to be a secret agent and obtain information. Although the Baekhwa Sangdan is not affiliated with the Sapa faction, it is not pro-Murim Alliance.
‘This is Hanam, after all.’
These were enough to come up with an answer.
When I told him this, Mo Yong-hee tilted his head. It seemed like there was something bothering me.
“But that alone is not enough to be certain.”
I nodded after hearing her words.
“That’s also true.”
It’s not enough to be sure.
In the end, this was just a feeling, so it wasn’t enough to be confident and take action.
“So, you have something to be certain about?”

What is the solid evidence?
Mo Yong-hee asked me with a worried expression.
“no? “Did you just commit it because it felt like it?”
“…yes?”
He paused and raised his eyes at the answer I gave lightly.
“Confucius. What do you mean…”
“It seems like that just by looking at it. “I just beat him up and saw it.”
Mo Yong-hee is shocked by the next words.
It seems like she was shocked by something she did so suddenly, as her personality requires confidence to act.
‘After losing, I actually felt confident.’
I grabbed the man and intentionally spit out words. The reaction I saw at that time was enough to convince me.
This guy is indeed the person sent by Meng. It is safe to view this as certainty.
but.
‘What are you aiming for?’
Why did Maeng’s character come here?
Honestly, the reason doesn’t really matter. The important thing here is.
‘I wonder what they came for.’
Did you come after me?
Or, has something happened at the top itself?
If not that too.
‘Have you come after Mo Yong-hee?’
There were three main things worth seeing for this purpose.
In order to figure this out, they had to capture and torture him right away, but it was difficult to move at the moment.
‘Because I have to check on the Heavenly Demon.’
I had to use all my energy to look at the woman with a blank expression, Cheonma.
So, more force was used when stunning the man.
It took a long time for him to wake up and he shouldn’t have run away.
After thinking about that, I looked somewhere.
Among the thicket of trees, I looked at the place and my mouth was moist.
-Catch that thing and tie it up. Because I have something to see later.
Startle.
I can feel the movement among the bushes.
I think it’s probably an unmanned vehicle deployed from above. He must have been surprised that I was going through all the trouble.
I knew from the beginning that there was an unmanned person.
They wouldn’t have left dozens of unmanned people and Mo Yong-hee alone in such a remote place.
Anyway… I’ve told you what I said.
‘Now let’s watch.’
I stood still and looked at the Heavenly Demon. Not long after that.
“Hey!”
As expected, a battle broke out between the warriors.
******************
Exactly half an hour has passed. I was looking at the seven people standing on the field.
There are exactly seven.
As I said at first, there were seven warriors standing there.
Ban Si-jin.
As for the battle, it wasn’t a very short period of time, but there was no bloody battle.
In the end, this was also part of the test.
Because the levels were so different, there were only those who seemed to be left behind. From the fully-ripened peak dancer that passed the first time.
From those at their peak to top-notch martial artists. It appears that the personnel are evenly distributed.
What if something unexpected happens over there?
‘Did you drop this?’
A few people who thought they would pass failed.
It is said that several top-notch fighters who thought they would fall climbed up.
Rather than saying that they fought and won, it was more correct to say that they endured it with fierce determination.
My eyes are focused on one side. It was aimed at the strongest man here.
The first-class warriors held on until the author roughly organized the other warriors.
Thanks to that, he was standing now.
In a way, it could be said to be a subtle method. In fact, the eyes of those who were harmed are filled with resentment.
Dissatisfaction with the fact that he fell and someone like that rose. It was full of it.
‘It’s okay.’
I thought it was a good result.
‘It’s not like a governor can be said to be strong only by force.’
He is quick-witted and good at politics. How could that strong man defeat the others while leaving the weak behind?
The groundwork was laid from the beginning.
‘It means that he sensed that he was a strong man and was reluctant.’
Earlier, around the time I was selecting those who were eliminated and those who passed.
It is in the same context that when the man in Maeng shouted at me in protest, the guys who actually passed the exam intervened.
They were sticking to those who had fallen.
They were now eliminated.
‘In short, you chose the wrong faction.’
Get in line for a short time waiting. One side collapsed and the other side held up well.
That was it.
Since I was able to climb the line well and not by force, there may be a problem with passing the exam itself.
‘Mo Yong-hee will take care of that.’
From there, I didn’t have to worry about it. If it’s not good, I’ll hire a new one.
This unexpected situation didn’t really matter.
the problem is.
‘…That means it fell.’
I looked behind the soldiers with a frown. Among the dancers standing around panting, there is someone watching alone.
It was a thousand horses.
The Heavenly Demon stood unharmed with the same expression as before.
Am I winning the battle and standing still? no. She didn’t even participate in the fight.
Around the time they all started fighting.
[I won’t do it.]
He said lightly and declared his abstention.
And he just stood there and watched. Did you get scared and not join the battle? That can’t be possible.
‘Then what on earth are you doing?’
I didn’t understand.
I deliberately let him pass, but he just watched the situation without even participating in the actual battle.
‘For what purpose?’
Geombong, I mean, I don’t understand why Goo Hee-bi was brought here.
I don’t even know what the Heavenly Demon’s intentions are.
As I was looking at Cheonma with a crumpled expression, Cheonma must have sensed this and also sent her gaze towards me.
There is a brief eye contact.
This time, instead of avoiding his gaze, he was quietly looking at the Heavenly Demon.
As time passed, Cheonma reacted first. I waved my hand slightly like I did when I first saw him.
Then.
“…!!”
It took a short leap and disappeared. It happened in an instant.
At that time, Mo Yong-hee carefully spoke to me.
“Confucius, I think the work is roughly finished…”
I answered without even listening properly.
“Then I’ll go somewhere.”
“Would you like to go get some rest now? “I found a good guest cup… huh?”
“See you later. “I’ll be right back.”
As soon as I heard that the work was over, I kicked off the ground and launched myself.
“…You crazy–!”
I could hear Mo Yong-hee swearing behind me, but this was not the time to worry about that.
You must not miss this moment. For some reason, that was the only thing I could think of.
As I rose into the air, I could see that the sun was gradually setting.
‘Where did it go?’
I turned my head above the forest and looked around. The disappeared Heavenly Demon was nowhere to be seen.
Has it already gone far away? Thinking of him, my energy immediately expanded in all directions.
Hua Ahhh — !!
An overwhelming feeling seeps into the air and encroaches on the surroundings. It occupied the forest and reached the city center beyond.
look for I wanted to find it at any cost.
The moment when the feeling of energy swept through every corner of the surroundings and turned everything upside down.
Ugh.
A familiar energy penetrated my heart.
It is magical energy.
It was an energy that could never be mistaken.
‘There it is.’
northwestward. It is far from Hanam and the terrain is closer to a forest than a city center.
Feeling that the Heavenly Demon was moving quickly, I also increased my speed.
Grumble-!
Paaaaang-!!
Flames surrounded the body and used the heat to explode and follow the trace.
The body that was floating in the air descended and dug into the forest.
I didn’t want to lose sight of him, so I ran without stopping.
Tension rises. Funny enough, even though I was being chased, the thought of wanting to run away crossed my mind.
What are you going to do by chasing me? Are you planning on fighting?
I don’t know.
I wasn’t sure that I would be able to win in a fight, and I may be doing this because I really have the confidence to fight. But now I had to chase after it.
You cannot miss it here.
My instincts said so.
Saaaaa-!!
As I was passing through the forest, the wind blew. So I stopped and looked around.
The reason is no different.
‘I missed it.’
The presence I felt just now disappeared.
Even though it wasn’t clear, it wasn’t enough to be missed. However, the presence of the Heavenly Demon had already disappeared without any mouse or bird noticing.
Saaaaa….
I can only hear the sound of the wind. The thick silence continued to heighten the tension.
‘Where did it go?’
It makes no sense for the presence to disappear so suddenly. That means.
‘I hid my presence.’
It means that the Heavenly Demon noticed that I was following him and hid his presence.
‘That can’t be possible.’
It was a situation I couldn’t easily believe.
‘Are you saying that the Heavenly Demon ran away?’
She doesn’t try to run away. No matter what situation comes, there is no way to back down. The Heavenly Demon is such a being.
I looked around without furrowing my brows.
So did you really miss it? Just as I was questioning and trying to push more energy into the feeling.
Sabak.
I felt a shallow presence.
As he felt this, he immediately drove the flame into his hand.
I didn’t hesitate.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A rapidly condensed flame takes shape. An image was overlaid on top of it.
Sssssssssssssssssssssss-!
The moment when the instantaneous Flame Jade Spear is completed and you are about to turn around and throw it away.
“what?”
Stand tall!
I could not throw the spear at the voice I heard and froze my body. This is because the thing behind his back was not the Heavenly Demon.
I looked at the person behind me with wide eyes.
A black-haired woman with a sharp look. She looked at me and spoke as if she was equally surprised.
“Brother?”
“…sister.”
Surprisingly, the woman’s identity was my sister, Gu Hee-bi.
The Heavenly Demon I was chasing was hiding behind Gu Hee-bi’s back and looking at me.
