Episode 322
“Please come in first.”
I brought Cheon Ga-ryeong into the barracks and offered her a seat.
As soon as she sat down on the chair, she sank down and said to me, waving her wrist.
“First, give me something to drink.”
“Should we call this sheep head meat, or should we call it thorough construction?”
As soon as I entered a place where other people could not see, my attitude changed completely.
It’s been a long time since we became a superior-subordinate relationship, but Cheon Ga-ryeong’s attitude towards me has always been the same.
I smiled and poured water into an empty glass and handed it to her.
“Whoa.”
Cheon Ga-ryeong emptied the glass in one go and looked around.
After confirming that the diaphragm had spread, she cried out in a low voice.
“To put it bluntly, I haven’t been able to find out what the relationship between Sama Segawa and Green Forest is.”
“······.”
“Instead, I roughly figured out why the Demonic Cult joined hands with Samasegawa.”
“What did you see inside Sega?”
“Yujeonggeom (幽靜劍), smokey smoker (媒緣客), white snake sword (white sword).”
“······?”
“These are star names you’ve heard of at least once, right?”
“They are the ones who died in battle. “Hundreds of great masters who lost their lives on the battlefield.”
“Everyone is alive. “Unlike the fact that he was said to be dead, he looked fine.”
“······!”
“It looks like the Demonic Cult moved the captured prisoners to Simase Family.”
“For what purpose?”
“That’s a little strange. “No one was arrested.”
“You released the prisoners so they could move freely?”
“huh. It looks like they haven’t even banned internal attacks, let alone arresting them. “It’s as if they didn’t even consider the possibility of running away.”
It was an incomprehensible measure.
Even though I knew that Cheon Ji-ryeong had no reason to lie to me, I still couldn’t believe it.
No fool would have managed prisoners so poorly during wartime.
Right now, I put in a lot of effort to make Sawooyeon my person.
Even though I knew he was in a position where he couldn’t betray me, he even planted a curse in my head just in case. What more can I say?
I knew that I was a demonic cultist in my past life.
The Demonic Cult’s methods are better than mine, not less.
“Are you planning to save only those who have succeeded in reforming the captured prisoners and recycle them for use?”
“That said, I didn’t feel any magical energy at all. “I also don’t think that Yoo Jeong-geom, who is famous for his bossy personality, would have fallen for the demonic religion’s appeasement.”
Yu Jeong-Geom was the highest-ranking member of the Kunlun Sect, and was an expert who had reached the level of Hwagyeong.
Before the news of his death became known, he was a figure who proudly ranked among the top 100 masters.
‘It’s strange in many ways.’
As Cheon Ga-ryeong said, there was a low possibility that Yu Jeong-geom, who was not someone else, had converted to the Demonic Cult.
Because he has a past where he lost his family due to the Demonic cult.
He was the person known to have entered Kunlun in the first place to eradicate demons.
‘If you think about it, neither the smoker nor the white apostle are great people who will betray the monks and stand on the side of the demonic cult. From their perspective, this situation would be a golden opportunity. Why are you sitting in the house instead of running away…?’
Could it be that a family member or lover is being held hostage by a demonic cult?
It was an issue that should never be taken lightly.
Now I think I know why Cheon Ga-ryeong couldn’t join us on the scheduled date.
If I were her, I would have stayed in Sima Sega as long as possible and watched the situation unfold.
“one more. “After watching for a few days, I felt a bit of a sense of discomfort among the three people.”
“In what way?”
“All three of them lived a regular life as if someone had decided it for them. “I sleep, eat, and practice martial arts at the same time every day.”
“Does this mean there is someone controlling the prisoners?”
“I don’t think that’s the case again. “I never saw the commander’s face while I was infiltrated.”
“I don’t know what it is.”
“It felt like I was looking at a doll, not a person. He never interacts with other people, and always just does his own thing with an expressionless face. “He didn’t even seem to feel anxious about the current situation.”
“······.”
“For your information, among the Gasols of the Samase family, few seemed to know their identities. “I think only a few key figures at Sega know the truth.”
A significant variable has emerged that will determine the success or failure of this operation.
Cheon Ga-ryeong did a great job.
If it weren’t for her, we would have engaged in battle while misperceiving the enemy’s strength.
‘There are probably more hidden powers besides the three.’
There was no change in the fact that our side was superior in terms of military power, but the difference between fighting with knowledge and fighting without knowing was significant.
What if several powerful men of the 100 greatest levels engage in a desperate battle using Jinbeop under the command of Sima Seju?
Inevitably, there would be great damage to the Allied forces as well.
I thought it was a good idea to just form a siege and not attack right away.
“This is all the information I found. In order to uncover the secret, I would need to infiltrate the Gaju Battle, but I thought it would be too much for my capabilities, so I gave up and came out.”
“It’s the family battle.”
“Especially strict security was in place. Excellent masters are on guard, and the area is plastered with formations. “It was even impossible to enter unless you were a few people whose identity was guaranteed.”
“Hmm.”

“There were limits to my disguise.”
“It’s definitely suspicious. “Even though it is the place where the head of the household lives, is there a need to take such drastic measures?”
I crossed my arms and was lost in thought for a while.
I turned to Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was tilting the kettle and pouring water into an empty glass, and asked as if throwing it.
“By the way, how did you escape from Sima Sega?”
When I thought about it carefully, it was strange.
I understand that they succeeded in infiltrating using a disguised identity.
But getting out of Sega safely was another problem.
Sima Sega is currently in an emergency mode.
Considering the formations spread around the Sega and the siege network formed outside, it was virtually impossible for the ganja inside to escape without causing much trouble.
How on earth was Cheon Ji-ryeong able to avoid surveillance and join the Allied Forces?
“I used a secret passage.”
“Secret passage?”
“I found records about the Wulin faction that occupied the site before the Simase family established itself.”
“Huh.”
I felt absurd.
This is a record from before the Sima family took root in Jiangsu.
I was able to realize once again that Haomun is a group that has been around for hundreds of years.
“There is a secret passage leading to the inside of the Sega that even the Gasols of the Samase Family don’t know about.”
“Why are you telling me that now?”
“No matter how Haomun’s leaders are, they do not know all the records from hundreds of years ago. “It is a record from the distant past, so it was discovered only recently, and it was passed down to me.”
“······.”
“The reason I decided to infiltrate Sima Family in the first place was because I was presented with a clear way to escape. “If not, I wouldn’t have crossed such a dangerous bridge.”
“I’m asking just in case. You probably discovered the existence of a secret passage while escaping, right?”
“Of course not. “What do you think of me?”
“Then it would be possible to use the secret passage once again.”
“······no way.”
“Guide me.”
Cheon Ji-ryeong’s expression became odd.
The way he glared at me with his stinging eyes seemed to be asking me if I was sincere.
“It will be dangerous. “They just didn’t discover the existence of the secret passage, but they probably already know that I disappeared.”
“So you have to sneak in and get out.”
“You probably don’t know that it’s easier said than done, right?”
“What can I do? There isn’t enough information, so I need to gather more. “There is a saying, ‘Know your knowledge’?”
“I shouldn’t say anything.”
Cheon Ji-ryeong sighed deeply.
As I watched her fall and hit her head on the table, I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘I’m sorry, but I’ll have to work a little harder.’
It was a pity for her who had just returned from a mission, but I was an evil boss and did not know how to consider the difficulties of my subordinates.
‘by the way.’
There is a secret passage leading inside Sega.
It was very useful information.
Doesn’t this mean that if he wants to, he can infiltrate inside and shake up Sima Sega?
The range of options from which the Allied Forces can choose has greatly expanded.
‘The only unsettling factor is the prisoners believed to have been sent from the Demonic Cult.’
Since I was going to be waiting and watching Simase’s movements for a while anyway, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to gather information during that time.
Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon were not the only ones who followed the progress of Muyoung Shintu.
I also learned the vision he left behind.
Muyeongsintu’s stealth technique was added to Ghost Treasure.
Now, I could be confident that if I decided to hide, even the master of the flower world would not be able to sense my presence.
‘Infiltrate the inside of Gaju Hall and reveal the number of secrets hidden by Sima Sega.’
If he had been in the position of leader of the group, like when he led the rescue team in the past, such a plan would not have occurred to him.
Regardless of confidence or possibility of success, the person in charge cannot just leave the position without permission.
However, on the surface, the subject of this migration plan was not me, but Shandong Musician.
Naturally, the leader of the allied forces was Yue Kangyun, the head of the Shandong Music family.
So even if I disappeared for a while, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.
“Don’t worry too much. I’ll give you at least some time to rest. “We can just check the location of the passage first and move it tomorrow, right?”
“It’s my friend.”
A groaning sound came from Cheon Ga-ryeong’s mouth.
I pretended not to hear that and grabbed her shoulders to help her up.
* * *
thud!
Sima Seju’s new model was thrown roughly into the wall.
An old man with an impressive white beard that reached down to his navel was tightly clutching his collar.
The moment when the iron armored man, who was attached to the wall like a stone statue, reflexively tried to kick the ground.
“stop!”
An urgent voice stopped his movements.
Sima Seju glanced sideways at the iron armored man who immediately returned to his stance and breathed a sigh of relief.
The ironclad man should not have been allowed to attack the old man.
He could never handle the monster in front of him.
Even though he was an absolute master, in the end he was just a doll who had lost his wit.
There were many shortcomings in dealing with the White Bone Demon Emperor, who was no other person.
“Explain.”
The right hand gripping the collar gained strength.
Sima Shigeju’s face turned pale.
“W-what do you want me to explain?”
“The reason why this sad incident occurred, and how to overcome this shitty situation!”
“······.”
“Didn’t you boast that you would take care of it and that there wouldn’t be any problems? “But what on earth is this?”
The terrifying force emanating from his entire body engulfed the entire underground space.
Sega’s Gasols, who were watching the situation without knowing what to do, vomited blood and collapsed in place.
“You will have to come up with a convincing answer. Otherwise…”
“Heavenly Dragon!”
Sima Shigeju shouted as if he was squeezing.
The White Bone Demon Emperor’s eyebrows rose sharply.
“It’s all because of him!”
