Episode 330
Sima Xuhuan would not have followed the White Bone Demon Emperor on his own accord.
It never occurred to me that he, who was so fanatically obsessed with the revival of the Sima family, would have thought of running away, leaving his family in crisis.
Most likely, the White Bone Demon Emperor took him by force.
‘Have you decided that it would be better to take at least the family head and run away rather than contributing to a fight that has little chance of winning?’
Although Sima Sega’s true practitioners were clearly high-quality personnel, it was not true that there were no substitutes.
On the other hand, Sima Seohwan is a key figure in the production of ginger poetry.
When he dies, any secret techniques he has completed will be lost along with him.
‘In other words, the worst can be avoided as long as the Demonic Cult secures his new recruits. Because ginger poetry can be made again.’
I took a long breath and calmed my impatience.
First of all, I needed to calm down.
‘It’s not too late.’
The situation was different from the past when they gave up the pursuit of Emperor Pengcheonma, who had abandoned Baekmakmun and run away.
This is the center of political faction territory.
In order for the two fugitives to reach the Demonic Cult’s sphere of influence, they had to pass through at least two regions.
‘If we send an official letter requesting cooperation to the martial powers in the nearby region, it will be possible to build a heavenly network.’
It would not have been easy for even the White Bone Demon Emperor to cross the territory of the political faction and reach Shanxi (山西).
Especially if you move while protecting Sima Seohwan.
‘I never miss it.’
I mumbled coldly and walked away, leaving the waterway behind.

After returning to the ground.
I immediately gathered the leaders of the Allied Forces and held a meeting.
When the story was told that two men who could be said to be enemy leaders had escaped, the expressions of the middle school officials hardened.
The excitement caused by the victory subsided as if cold water had been poured on it.
“It’s a big deal.”
“We must immediately form a chase team and chase after them!”
Everyone here experienced first-hand the dangers of ginger poetry.
Therefore, the anxiety I felt was bound to be great.
Everyone raised their voices saying that they must prevent Sima Segaju and the White Bone Demon Emperor from reaching the Demonic Cult’s sphere of influence.
“My thoughts are the same as yours. “The reason we convened a meeting as soon as Sima Sega took control was to discuss it.”
The eyes of the middle school students were all focused on me.
I said while looking at Sawooyeon, who was sitting at the bottom of the table.
“First, Musa Sam, please investigate where the underground waterway is connected and the expected escape route and report back to me. “I will give you authority to lead the members of the investigation team.”
“All right.”
As soon as the command was given, he stood up from his seat.
Seo Ho-seon and Cheon Ga-ryeong followed him out of the conference room.
After clearing my throat once, I spoke to Akang-yoon this time.
“Lord Akga, please work with Gasol to take control of Simase and clean up after him.”
“I will do that.”
It was not possible to mobilize Yuga’s warriors in pursuit.
Now was the most important moment.
In order for the Yu family to safely settle in Jiangsu, they had to win the hearts of the local residents when the Sima family collapsed.
‘In my heart, I would like to leave the evil girl behind in Sega.’
Even if no one else knew, she had to be included in the chase team.
Considering the usefulness of Cheonri Cheongjuk, her assistance could be said to be indispensable.
“There may be remnants of the Sima family remaining, so it would be a good idea to leave at least half of the White Wolf members in the Sega family.”
“Of course. “It would be troublesome if a jiangshi came out of a secret space or outside of the house that we hadn’t discovered yet.”
Ak Yeo-ryeong nodded gently.
In fact, suppressing the remnants is just a justification.
In reality, it was a measure to prepare the stage for revenge on Seonhye Dojang, the leader of Baekrangdae.
The treatment of the family members of the Simase family who were captured and imprisoned in prison would be different depending on what decisions she made.
[The subject of revenge must be Seonhye Dojang.]
For the same reason, Damun also decided to stay in Sima Sega for a while.
It seemed like he wanted to watch from the side to see how Seonhye Dojo would end things.
I glanced sideways in the direction where Seonhye Dojang and Damwoon were and then gave instructions to Hwadaerang.
“Warrior Hua, please convey my words to the Jiangsu branch of the Murim Alliance.”
“What can I say?”
“Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Hebei. All you have to do is inform the major martial powers in the four regions of the current situation and ask for their help.”
“All right.”
In order to spread a net to trap the Eight Great Demon Army, the cooperation of each martial arts force had to be obtained first.
Depending on the situation, I didn’t know if I should even consider issuing an order to lord it over him.
‘We will mobilize all available means.’
If Sima Seju was not captured, there would be great consequences.
The reason Ginger City was dangerous was not simply because it had strong power.
The biggest problem was that they could not be viewed as simple weapons.
‘If the Demonic Cult begins to deploy Ginger City into the battlefield in earnest, it will be a headache.’
Even those who were not from the same class as the martial artists used as ingredients for ginger poetry showed hesitation and discomfort.

It goes without saying how the executioners who had gone through the same hardships and joys with them would react.
It would be better to cut off the buds of anxiety before they grow.
“The composition of the chase team is…”
“I have something to suggest.”
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Hwang Bo-gak slowly raised his hand.
He said, tilting his upper body as if revealing his high motivation.
“There is no need for dozens of people to swarm around to chase two people. How about dividing the personnel into four units? Furthermore, each unit operates in five groups.”
“The target we must chase is the White Bone Demon Emperor. “If we share our power carelessly, the damage to our troops may increase.”
“Rather, that is why I am saying that we need to disperse the personnel. Isn’t it easy to catch an absolute master who decides to use harsh words and runs away? “I think you have to be prepared to make some sacrifices.”
“······.”
“If we provide fireworks to the captains and leaders of each unit, they will be able to cooperate closely with each other in times of emergency.”
I laughed inwardly.
Isn’t the intention behind the words too blatant?
‘That’s right.’
There was some truth to Hwang Bo-gak’s words.
Dividing the number of people increases the search range and makes it easier to find the target of pursuit.
If you wanted to catch someone as capable as the White Bone Demon Emperor, you had to push yourself to some extent.
However, even taking that into account, forming a group of 20 was too much of a measure.
‘You’re trying to take the initiative without missing an opportunity.’
Akga’s warriors and half of Baekrang’s members had to clean up after this incident, and the Cheonan Kambu’s members were small in number to begin with.
In the end, Hwang Bose would be the one to invest the most people in the chase.
In such a situation, what if multiple groups are formed?
In fact, Hwang Bose’s side will lead the chase.
Because most of the captains leading each group will be Hwang Bo-sega figures.
‘Well, the benefits that can be gained are greater than the risks that must be taken, so it is not strange if greed arises that was not there before.’
Hwang Bo-gak was saying this to me right now.
The Hwangbo family will take the credit for subduing the Baekgol Demon Emperor.
After thinking for a moment, I slowly nodded.
‘There’s nothing bad this way.’
It was difficult to monopolize the ball anyway.
I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I could have Hwang Bose actively participate in the chase instead of giving up the initiative.
Perhaps because the claim was accepted more easily than expected, a satisfied smile appeared on Hwang Bo-gak’s lips.
‘It was better.’
I glanced at the man sitting next to Hwang Bo-gak and muttered to myself.
Emperor of Heaven, Hwang Bo-hun.
Finally, I was able to get him away from Hwang Bo-gak.
The reason why Hwang Bo-hoon could not be eliminated until now was because he rarely left Hwang Bo-gak’s surroundings.
Isn’t it realistically possible to assassinate a master of Hwagyeong while avoiding the gaze of an absolute master?
Since the opportunity did not arise, we could not carry out the operation, and we wasted a lot of time and eventually arrived at this point.
‘During the chase, he was killed by the White Bone Demon Emperor’s counterattack. ‘It’ll be a pretty good picture.’
If the White Bone Demon Emperor had not kidnapped Sima Xuhuan and ran away, I would have had to give up on the request that Hwang Bo-gyeong entrusted to me.
Of course, I had nothing to lose by not being able to fulfill Hwang Bo-kyung’s request.
Because that was the underlying thought, I was able to take my time.
‘but.’
It was also true that it was difficult to leave criminals involved in human trafficking alone.
If he had truly become the head of the Hwangbo family, a dark cloud would have fallen over the future of Baekdo martial arts.
‘Out of the twenty groups, one will definitely be in charge of Hwang Bo-hoon.’
It was an extremely good situation.
It wouldn’t be that difficult to create a stage for the action to take place.
The subsequent meeting was led by Hwang Bose.
There were many people who wanted to win Hwang Bo-gak’s favor.
Most of the leaders gathered in the conference room responded positively to whatever opinion he expressed.
“Okay then, let’s end this and leave. “Please inform the Allied soldiers of your decision and prepare.”
The meeting ended about two weeks later.
I got up from my seat with a tired expression.
It was when I was about to leave the conference room with my colleagues.
“It’s urgent!”
A member of the Cheonwangdae, who entered the room with pounding footsteps, shouted with energy in his voice.
The middle school students looked at him with puzzled eyes.
“They say a large-scale battle took place on the front lines in Hebei! “The Demon Cultist himself appeared on the battlefield…!”
“What do you mean!”
The conference room became as noisy as a market floor.
* * *
“Whoa, I’m dying.”
An unknown mountain located on the border between Jiangsu and Anhui.
An old man leaning his staff against a rock sighed, stroking his white beard that reached down to his navel.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and looked to the side with a disapproving expression.
“How about slowly walking on your own feet?”
“······.”
“Are you really going to make me suffer until we reach Shanxi?”
“······.”
“Damn you. “Are you even listening to me?!”
Sima Xuhuan, the man sitting against the base of the tree, was looking up at the sky with dead eyes.
The old man, who continued to pour out reprimands, got tired of his actions and closed his mouth.
‘The taste is completely gone.’
The old man, the White Bone Demon Emperor, scratched his head and muttered to himself.
After being kidnapped and taken away, Sima Xuhuan completely lost the will to live.
In a way, I didn’t know that it was a natural thing.
He gave everything for the revival of Sega.
All my efforts were in vain in an instant, and there was no way I could stay sane.
‘Maybe I like that guy.’
