Chapter 655
Southern Manchuria is like a small country separated from the Central Plain, and the Nanman Yashu Palace is a royal palace that can be said to be the center of a country.
Of course, the size of the inner palace was bound to be enormous.
The total number of people staying in the inner palace, including warriors, servants, and zookeepers who manage wild beasts, reached 1,000, and it multiplied several times when tribal meetings were held like now.
It’s hazy, but among those countless people, the most important ones were separate.
These are the four warchiefs.
They lead the four most powerful tribes out of the thirty-two tribes in southern Manchuria, and they are talented people who can become the next Southern Manchurian Beast Lord. As such, the influence of the chieftains was powerful, and the three chieftains excluding the palace ruler received preferential treatment from generation to generation. was guaranteed
Shh shh!
Just like what Yayul-mok, who is currently running next to you, says
“Except for my father, all tribal chiefs stay at their respective tribal bases and are allowed to enter and leave the Haigwan Inner Palace with prior notice, except for the chiefs. They are given a residence in the inner palace with free passage.”
East, West, South, North.
It was said that Namman Sugungju was in charge of the north from generation to generation, and the other chieftains had their own dwellings in each direction.
It is a kind of official residence (官邸) given to a high-ranking person, and at the same time, if interpreted in the Jungwon style, it means that the emperor gave permission to the subordinate feudal lords to open the royal palace.
but at this moment
What awaited me, who ran with all my might, was pools of blood and corpses, and what was destroyed by someone was the remains of the water.
“What is this??…
Namho’s quiet voice pierces your ears. I raised my head, feeling the blood in my whole body go cold.
Above the broken gate, I could see the slanting wooden board and letters.
tell me who owns this manor
is three letters. Suddenly, the figure of a woman with an alluring eye smile passed in front of her eyes. Yohee. ,A woman more suited to the word “beautiful” than “beautiful.”
I don’t know if she’s really the villain of tonight’s raid, but two things are certain.
Yohee’s drunkenness] This splendid manor filled with plenty is no longer as beautiful as before.
And that it disappeared as if it had been washed.
that buck
Entering through the half-broken gate, you can see bodies and carcasses of wild beasts scattered all over the place.
The colorful flower fields, which should have had their own colors, were all stained with red blood.
“… … Sibal.”
At that time, when I couldn’t stand it and muttered abusive words, one of the warriors who had spotted Yayul Mok walking alongside me approached me.
“Are you here, Sogoongju?”
Nod your head with a stiff face
was
“you’ve worked hard. Any additional discoveries?”
“doesn’t exist. Except for the increased number of corpses.
I saw the corpses lying side by side behind the back of the warrior who answered in a heavy voice. In a well a few steps away, three or four warriors were pulling up a wet and limp tiger.
“To speak of the numbers confirmed so far, the Yao warriors and the beasts they command can easily count one hundred.”
“Any survivors?”
I was silent for a while at Yayulmok’s question
Saga replied.
“… … Currently, none.”
As of now?
well. I don’t think there will be any in the future.
Muttering in my heart, I approached the lying corpses. The warrior who was reflexively trying to block my eyes met my eyes and flinched and retreated. I examined the scars on the bodies of the corpses. Did you fight and how did you die?
And at the same time as I realized, I heard Yayul-mok’s voice
“Did you find out anything?
Sensing dozens of pairs of gazes directed towards me at the same time, I responded briefly.
“Ganggi (? 氣.”
K
U
An invisible commotion spreads. I spoke in a hard voice.
“The opponent must be a master of the highest level. Most of them must not have noticed the surprise attack until the last moment. That’s why the gap in martial arts must have been so great.”
Transcendence is a realm allowed only to a very few chosen ones.
After countless hardships, the transcendent masters who have risen to great heights beyond the wall are literally superhuman? person) becomes
Those who could kill dozens of first-class masters with a single swing of their swords, and even turn dozens of top masters to blood with their enemy’s hand, were the beasts that attacked this place tonight.
‘Extremely fast, concise, and even better
No lethal skill.’
As soon as I saw the scars left on the corpses, I realized that the beast was a worn-out murderer. He slaughtered all living things in the manor with power that was neither insufficient nor excessive.
Everyone in the world knows that a depth of one village can take away a life, but it is only the supreme master who can annihilate a hundred warriors and beasts.
And what this meant was clear.
-Are you saying that all of this is the work of the Baeksang?
A low pitched sound that pierces your ears. I looked at Yayul-mok’s hardened face among the people in shock.
– well.
-What do you mean?
-There are only two masters who have reached this level in southern Manchuria, and one is, as you know, a white man. Who else??… . He is a man that everyone knows well.
In an instant, I saw Yayulmok’s face turn white. The guy opened his mouth wide as if to scream and bit his lip hard.
– Do you want to say that your father is the beast behind this?
– It can’t be.
– Then why… … .
– I mean, it’s too obvious. At least, it is certain that Amcheon directly intervened, and the super-high master is an extremely rare master in the midfield, but it is all the more so in the south. Even though I personally have doubts about Baeksang, it is not such a big deal.

Perhaps, at least, they mobilized the transcendent masters belonging to Amcheon.
‘It seemed like he was watching the situation from a distance, but did he finally step out himself?’
But what are you aiming for?
I mumbled the question that popped into my head and asked out loud instead of whole tone.
“There is something I want to check for myself. Shall we move for a moment?”
As Yayulmok, who heard my words, winked at me, the eyes of the people around me fell away.
Me, Yayulmok, and even Namho. The three of us went to the inside of the pavilion located in the center of the manor and, as everyone expected, it was a mess as if it had been swept away by a storm.
“Looks like you’ve got it right.”
Ayulmok replied with a stiff face to Namho’s muttering.
“But the battle was over in just a second.
“How do you know that?”
“Because I heard a short but clear roar. By the time I arrived after hearing the report, everything was already over.
drooling.
Yayul-mok, who opened the large sliding door, spoke in a subdued voice.
“It was just those.”
Yayul-mok said, ‘Those things were called two things.
A sachet dropped in a messy room. And the use is something that is more precious and has a terrible scent.
“o uh”
?■mouth.
Namho let out a quiet voice, and I moved my step without hesitation and put my hand on it. Along with the cold touch, sticky blood wets my fingers.
‘This.’ It is something that anyone with eyes can recognize.
The identity of ‘it’ was the wrist. Someone’s wrist neatly cut off.
“Can you recognize who it belongs to?”
can’t see
The fleshy right wrist
I stared blankly at Ayulmok’s question and muttered in a low voice.
“.I must be a black bear too.”
“right. He said he took four escorts and went to visit Yo-hee Warchief. The Dongibu confirmed it.”
If the Yao tribe built the West Yao Department in the west, the Yi tribe led by Hei Woong settled in the east and built the Eastern Department. I asked as I put down Black Woong’s wrist.
“What time is it then?”
“It hasn’t been over half an hour, and it’s been said that one meal has passed. He must have gone to Dongibu first and then visited Yohee.
‘… … This crazy person). I can’t stand it
I had to struggle to hold back the expletives that were about to come out of my mouth. Now is the time to be cool.
Not only did he still not know why Heuk-woong visited Yo-hee, but Sang-eun, whose death had not been confirmed, had to be suspicious of everyone.
“The escorts that Heukwoong brought?”
“Dead. Along with the other Yo warriors.”
then F*ck it
I asked just in case, but it’s the opposite.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly looked around the room.
Traces of resistance remained everywhere in the chaotic interior, and beyond the wall, which was probably collapsed by strong tension, the back garden, which still maintained its splendid appearance, could be seen.
Along with the very faint footprints left there
‘Quickly overpowered the two, and escaped through sponsorship.’
Although the owner cannot be identified because the traces are too faint, one thing is certain through the footprints.
It was not a self-made play by either Heuk-woong or Yo-hee, but that a third party intervened.
Just one meal ago, there were at least three people in this room.
‘Of course, one of them is a master of transcendence’
If so, who is the owner of this footprint? After Namcheonma? Or is it the master of Darkness under her command?
After thinking for a while, I quickly nodded
Stirred.
I’m not a big-hearted Noh Kang-ho, and there was a limit to the information I could get with this clue.
Next to me is Nam-ho, who works as an agent of Eunyeonggak and has received a lot of information, but that is only for Madou’s disfigurement and external characteristics.
‘In the end, they say they need someone with high levels of martial arts and knowledge.’
There were only two names that immediately came to mind, and one of them was someone I couldn’t believe.
Having finished my thoughts, I head towards Yayulmok
I opened my mouth.
“When is Yayul Daehyup coming?”
“I have already sent a message to my subordinates. He should be on his way with the other chieftains by now.”
It’s good news to hear. Putting Heukwoong’s wrist back in place to preserve the scene, I smelled the bag Yohee had left behind. Perhaps because the side of the silk pouch had burst, a faint smell, close to odorless, was wafting around.
‘I’ll definitely find out.’
And the moment I muttered in my heart
A commotion was heard from outside the hall.
“Looks like you’re finally here. If it were your father, you might know the identity of the beast.”
However, even before I left the palace, I could realize that Yul-Mok Ya was wrong. The first to arrive was not the Beast Tomb King, and the identity of the beast he spoke of was someone I did not expect.
“The sinner comes out on his feet”
The moment I heard the dry voice of Baeksang, I realized.
Now, Baeksang and Beast Cat King are not the only superstars who can do something like this in southern Manchuria.
