Episode 324
This was the end of benefiting from small amounts of money.
It was easy to infiltrate the inner circle, but hiding inside Gajujeon was another problem.
‘From now on, even the face changed using reverse magic has no meaning.’
I had to sneak in and out of the heart of Sega, bypassing various military and surveillance measures.
The fewer people there were and the better each individual’s skills, the better.
This was the reason why no one came along except for Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was to give directions.
‘I’ve thought of a few ways to infiltrate, though.’
Which means to use could only be determined by observing the site in person.
I continued to walk for a while while chatting with Cheon Ga-ryeong by eum-eum.
A huge building came into view.
It was a large pavilion seven stories high.
‘It’s too big compared to the size of the Sima family.’
The hall where the Jangmun of the Jeomchang faction resided was not of this size.
Should I say that Sima Seju’s vanity is clearly evident?
As expected, with my knowledge, it was impossible to understand all the types of formations around the pavilion.
He could not confidently enter from the front, pretending to be an executive of Simase Family, or force his way through by force.
The only way left is to avoid the formation and move into the air.
‘The problem is the unmanned soldiers standing guard.’
It was not unusual to land on the upper level of the pavilion by jumping in the air, but the method was very noticeable.
Although it is a dark dawn, the people standing guard are all skilled warriors.
If you tried to infiltrate blindly, you would most likely be discovered and surrounded.
‘It would be nice to have something to get their attention.’
Should we start a fire in a nearby building?
As I pondered while using stealth techniques to kill all traces, I soon came to a conclusion.
However, arson was too dangerous.
We decided to choose a safer and more reliable method.
I left the pavilion behind and moved to the outskirts of the inner garden, and brought the whistle I had taken out of my pocket to my mouth.
City profit!
Instead of a sharp beeping sound, a sound of deflation rang out.
Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was watching, tilted her head and asked.
-What, is it broken?
-no.
-There’s no sound?
-It came out just right. It is just a sound that cannot be heard by ordinary human ears.
-You mean you created ultrasonic waves with a whistle?
-that’s right. It is an object used by the warriors of the Yue family to exchange signals with each other. If you blow into it and inject internal energy at the same time, ultrasonic waves spread around.
-That’s a fun method. But, the sound made here is transmitted to the outside?
-It will be delivered. Because there is an absolute expert on the Allied Forces who has mastered the art of clearing the earth.
-Sound ghost!
-I sent a signal, so there will be a response soon. Let’s move.
* * *
About half an angle has passed since then.
A tremendous explosion of sound echoed throughout the world.
Quang!
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A bombardment of sound waves from nowhere.
Beyond the outer wall of Sega, the ground on which the camp was laid was torn apart and shaken.
Although no actual damage occurred, the noise was so loud that everyone in the Simase family was embarrassed.
The soldiers who were sleeping soundly were so startled that they all ran out of the building.
The warriors guarding Gajujeon also looked at the source of the noise.
‘now!’
I, who had been waiting in advance with Cheon Ga-ryeong on my back, immediately kicked off the ground and jumped.
We spread the ghost beam to the extreme and moved to kill any traces, and safely arrived at the top floor of Gajujeon.
After opening the window and entering the room.
‘Luckily I wasn’t caught.’
After putting Cheon Ga-ryeong on the floor, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After looking around for a while, Cheon Ga-ryeong turned to me and said.
-It looks like there’s no one there.
-It looks like it’s Sima Seju’s personal office…
-Do you think there won’t be much information you can get even if you search around here?
-maybe. Considering that border personnel are concentrated in the lower classes, this is likely to be the case.
-Let’s go downstairs first.
I carefully moved along the wall and explored the surroundings.
Unlike the outside, where security was so tight that it seemed excessive, there were not that many people stationed inside the palace.
Is it because they thought that the manpower deployed externally was sufficient, or perhaps because they did not want Gasol to see what was happening in the Gaju battle?
As we got closer to the first floor, the number of people increased, but even that was not an obstacle at all for Cheon Ga-ryeong and I, who had mastered advanced stealth techniques.
As I was moving along the ceiling, I glanced sideways at the middle-aged man standing on the wall below and muttered to myself.

‘Although they can be considered elite in their own way, there is not a single person who is at the level of a 100-year-old expert. Aren’t the prisoners sent from the Demonic Cult placed here?’
Do they not trust the prisoners?
Perhaps there are other reasons why they cannot be assigned guard duties.
‘Well, this is a good thing.’
Cheon Ga-ryeong and I broke through the weak border and reached the main hall on the first floor.
The Gasols’ attention was greatly diversified by Ak Yeo-ryeong’s demonstration of force.
The continuous roaring sound paralyzed the senses of the soldiers standing on guard.
-Something is strange.
-Compared to the thorough attention paid to security, there was nothing special, right?
-It’s clear that there’s something hidden in Gajujeon. In fact, all I saw while coming down from the top floor to the first floor were the occasional warriors standing guard.
-The most suspicious thing is that the matriarch is nowhere to be seen. Even if you were in an isolated space due to the Jinbeop, there’s no way you wouldn’t have sensed it, right?
I nodded in agreement with Cheon Ga-ryeong’s words.
My sense of energy, which had been improved through the fight against the Blood Flower Witch, was precise enough to even detect the exact location of the will energy.
My guess is that it was one of two things.
Either Samaseju is away, or there is a hidden underground space beneath Gajujeon.
‘It’s most likely the latter.’
It was almost certain that there was no reaction despite this much commotion.
Most likely, they are unaware of the situation outside.
After exchanging glances with Cheon Ga-ryeong, I parted ways with her and wandered around the first floor to explore.
It was not easy to find a hidden passage while avoiding the eyes of warriors who patrolled at regular intervals.
Time passed incessantly.
Before I knew it, dawn was rising outside the window.
The loud noise had long since subsided.
It was a time when I wondered if I should just call it a day and get out of Gajujeon.
-Come this way.
The sound sent by Cheon Ga-ryeong penetrated my ears.
I moved to the room next to her, looked at the floor, and narrowed my eyes.
Under a small round table.
There was a fine rectangular incontinence that was difficult to see unless you strengthened your eyes with inner energy.
I was suddenly amazed.
How on earth did you find this?
‘You shouldn’t touch it carelessly.’
At first glance, it seemed to be an opening and closing device operated by an organ.
If it is torn off by force, an uproar will occur.
When I asked Cheon Ga-ryeong if I could open it, she quietly shook her head.
From what I could tell, it seemed like he had already tried many things.
‘It’s a pain in the ass. Should I also bring Damun?’
The problem was that Damun had no expertise in the art of stealth.
I didn’t think I would be able to safely infiltrate this place again with him.
As I was immersed in thought while rubbing my chin, I narrowed my eyes at the feeling of presence beneath my feet.
-I have to hide for now.
-why?
-Someone is coming up from below.
There was surprise in Cheon Ji-ryeong’s eyes.
Unlike me, she didn’t seem to notice the signs of those approaching.
-The number is five. I think we can get this far in about 20 breaths.
-That close?
-Perhaps there is a method installed to distract the senses.
I turned my head and quickly looked around.
This place, which was presumed to be a guest room, did not have much space to hide.
I had no choice but to crumple Cheon Ga-ryeong into the closet, and I myself clung to the ceiling like a bat and used stealth techniques to kill her presence.
Some time passes.
The entrance to the basement opened with a clanking noise, and five men appeared.
Everyone was wearing a bachelor’s uniform, but their martial arts level was not that high.
At best, you can get a foot in the door at the top level?
“Off. I’m tired.”
“It looks like it’s a mess outside. What’s going on?”
“It seemed like the matriarch was especially on edge today. “I was worried that I might go against my wishes.”
“Didn’t you hear? He said he heard harsh words from Lord Ma. “I won’t let this situation go if we don’t resolve it.”
“ha. “It is impossible to unite internally in a situation like this.”
“What kind of unity is unity? “It’s just a relationship where each person uses each other.”
“I know that.”
As I was eavesdropping on the men’s conversation, my expression hardened.
The word ‘demon king’ made my mind dizzy.
‘Could it be that one of the Eight Great Demon Lords is here?’
I wanted to interrogate the men in front of me to get more information, but if I showed up here, all my hard work would have been in vain, so I decided to hold out.
The men who were chatting left the room with tired faces.
“······.”
When I got down to the ground, I looked down at the wide open switchgear and felt conflicted inside.
Normally I wouldn’t have missed this golden opportunity, but what the men said a moment ago bothered me.
What if there is an absolute master who holds the top spot in the eight great demon armies hiding below here?
Aside from the fact that our infiltration was discovered, mine and Cheon Ga-ryeong’s lives could have been in danger.
The reason I have been able to do things so boldly until now is because I have confidence.
I am confident that there will be no one strong enough to threaten me within Simase.
Even the best of the Kunlun Sect, Yujeong Sword, was no match for me now.
I thought that even if something went wrong and I ended up being chased by the warriors of the Sima family, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to stay safe.
However, if Simase had an absolute expert on his side, the story would inevitably be different.
‘But it’s such a waste to go back like this.’
While I was struggling, I felt a slight vibration under my feet.
A clanking mechanical sound followed.
Cheon Ga-ryeong came out of the closet and stood next to me, her lips licking.
-Are you not going in? It seems to close on its own after a certain period of time.
The worries did not last long.
I know there’s no need to overdo it, but since I’ve come this far, I wanted to achieve meaningful results.
I went down the stairs to the basement before the engine started working.
Cheon Ji-ryeong let out a small sigh and followed behind.
* * *
The underground space was much bigger than I thought.
To add a little bit of exaggeration, the area of the three large training halls seemed to have been joined together.
The path was complex and tangled like a maze, and there were formations and institutions installed here and there, requiring caution.
‘There is no sign of an absolute master yet.’
It could have been something that wasn’t here, or something I simply couldn’t sense.
It took a long time to move and kill as many traces as possible.
“Kaaaaak!”
A desperate scream echoed through the hallway.
Cheon Ga-ryeong and I looked at each other at the same time.
I knew it instinctively.
That the secret of Sima Sega is hidden beyond.
martial arts,
