Chapter 186: Wait Right There (3)

An hour has passed since I watched Papa Eunhwa from hiding.

The old monster in front of me, sitting cross-legged under the waterfall, did not even move.

It was not unusual for those who reached the level of a superhuman to practice meditation through meditation. But somehow, the feeling was unclear.

At that time, So-mu’s head turned somewhere to the left.

Sal King Baek Ri-hyeon came scouting nearby. As he appeared, a curtain of energy surrounded him.

“There”s nothing around here.”

If there were traps such as ambushes around, it would not be possible to fool the King of Death. So-mu nodded and grabbed the sword sheath.

“Hmm. So it was a needless concern?”

“But there is one place left that we haven”t looked at yet.”

“””?”

Her eyes, sharp as blades, were aimed at the cliff hidden by the waterfall.

“It is difficult to scout the area around the waterfall where that old monster is sitting. Even if you spread the Dark Blade at full force, it is difficult to deceive Dark Demon”s eyes within this long distance.”

So-mu looked at the place Baek Ri-hyeon mentioned with bright eyes, but could not find anything unusual.

“It looks like there is nothing to the naked eye.”

“You decide. I will attack first with a sneak attack. I have something to pay you in return.”

The King of Sal’s first blow from the darkness was so terrifying that even So-mu has to be nervous. There was no reason to refuse.

“Why hesitate? Let”s get started.”

Baek Ri-hyeon said, slowly pulling out the belt from her waist.

“Be careful of the old monster”s vicious, vicious attack. I have never seen such a strong martial arts attack in my life.”

So-mu nodded once.

At that moment, Baek Li-hyeon”s whole body dispersed like fog and turned into a ghost.

So-mu also lowered his lower body while holding the sword sheath and prepared to attack. The intention was to rush forward with all his might and put an end to the situation the moment the King of Sal struck a blow.

It was the moment when Baek Ri-hyeon took his first step towards Eunhwapapa”s back.

So-mu urgently sent a message to him.

– Wait a minute.

Baek Ri-hyeon stopped walking and made a puzzled expression in the darkness.

So-mu’s eyes were fixed on a bird flying in the sky. It was flying low over Eunhwapapa”s head.

After a while. Something amazing happened. Isn”t the flying bird being sucked into the cliff without a trace?

Baek Ri-hyeon, who felt a chill down his spine, returned to So-mu’s side and wrapped her arms around his.

“”There is a welcome camp spread out around the waterfall.”

Gimunhwanyeongjin . It was a method of creating an illusion of harmony between heaven and earth using objects such as stones and trees.

It was also a barrier that separates the outside and the inside using the harmony of all things, and the changes that occur inside vary depending on the type of Kimunjin.

There were a few of these techniques in Shadow Gate, but the Kimunjin in front of me was on a different level.

“This is my first time seeing a kimunjin of that type.”

“It probably doesn”t belong to the Martial World Dynasty.”

Otherwise, there was no way the Sword Saint and King Sal would not have noticed. It was an incredibly elaborate and clever illusion.

So-mu closed her eyes and maximized his body’s senses. At the same time, the sensing ability has become so sensitive that one can even hear the chirping of birds chirping ten miles away.

His nerves were focused on the flow of energy around the waterfall.

“This was amazing. The center of Gimunjin was connected to the Dantian of the Eunhwapapa. So you can’t help but notice.’

Nogoe’s Dantian that has been cultivated for more than 140 years. The strength accumulated within it was so great that its limits could not even be guessed. It was Ki Moon-jin who unfolded based on that power.

And then. Although it was only a moment, I could feel a subtle magical energy from the cliff behind the waterfall.

If so, there must be a separate space inside the cliff.

“There are guys ambushed inside Gimunjin.”

“How much will there be?”

“You can”t figure it out until you go in. You must have prepared enough to be confident that you could lure both of us at the same time.”

As expected, it was according to Yeon Seo-hwa’s intuition. If we attacked blindly, we would have been in trouble.

But there was one strange part.

“Didn”t you say that that old monster has no helpers?”

So-mu obviously knew that too.

Since the existing Demonic Cult has already collapsed, there were no longer any helpers who can help the Eunhwa Sect. The small children who followed the old woman had also been wiped out before her.

What do you mean by reinforcements in such a situation? I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Moreover, it would not be a weak force if it could attract the Sword Saint and the King of Death at the same time. There was only one force that could do that.

So-mu muttered with a dark complexion.

“Is it true that they joined hands with the Divine Demon?…”

The Eunhwa Sect was an orthodox faction of the collapsed Demonic Cult, and even served as its leader a long time ago.

The current Divine Demon was an opposing faction with different tendencies and was incapable of cooperating with each other.

For the Eunhwa faction, an orthodox faction, to join hands was to deny their own life and was an act of throwing away their pride.

But it was unknown whether resentment would have made that possible.

“It”s unfortunate, but it would be better to leave. There is no need to try with uncertainty.”

There was no way to know how many superhumans would be hiding in Kimunjin. The assassin’s intuition told him that it was dangerous.

But So-mu”s thoughts were different.

“No. How could I miss this opportunity?”

“Then what do you mean there is a way?”

So-mu looked intently at the waterfall and uttered one word.

“That old woman has called in reinforcements, so we”ll have to balance our numbers to some extent.”

“What about reinforcements”?”

“Let”s go back first and wait for my wife to come back. We”ll keep doing this for a few days.”

The mountain peaks towered so high that they seemed to pierce the sky, creating a spectacular sight.

It was Emei Mountain , one of the sacred sites of Buddhism.

Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae, centurions of Wolf Fang University. And between them, there was a girl holding both hands and a sullen face.

“So-so, this is your first time to a mountain this high, isn”t it?”

“yes””.”

It was a dying voice. There were dark traces of tore on So-so’s face as she looked up at Hyeonjeong. It was because I had just said goodbye to my mother, who I had been running with for two days.

She, who had made a name for herself as a martial artist during her childhood, was not allowed to enter Amisan Mountain.

They were about to reached the halfway point of the mountain range. A huge sign appeared in front of me.

“From this point on, outsiders were not permitted to enter Amifa”s territory.”

Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae hesitated for a moment.

“What should I do, capital punishment?”

The tension was heightened because the members were from the Mount Hua Sect.

It was unthinkable for the Taoist monks of the Mount Hua Sect to climb Mount Emei, where only nuns were present. But aren’t they now officers of the So Dynasty military branch that was in cooperation with the Martial Alliance?

“You can”t send So-so up alone.”

“Anyway, I think we need to be careful from here on out.”

As soon as Cheong-hae finished speaking, the air around him became cold. This was because thick deadly force was shooting out from all directions.

It was a clear warning sign. It was only focused on Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae, and no energy was conveyed to So-so.

Hyeonjeong looked around and said.

“We are not enemies, so stop living.”

At that time, a powerful woman’s voice came from somewhere.

– Go back. Outsiders were not allowed to enter this place.

It was a technique of speaking while hiding one’s location.

As expected, it seemed like he had no intention of letting him in obediently.

“These are officials from the kingdom of Su. We have come because we have something to tell to Lord Mun of Emei.”

– This was the final warning. If you take one more step from there, I will attack you.

It was as expected. This Mount Emei was located in Sichuan Province and was the territory of the Po Dynasty. It was not natural for officials from other countries to come here and reveal their identities.

It seemed like we would never be able to communicate like this.

Hyeonjeong, who was worried, took a step forward and said.

“Then, let”s meet face to face and talk.”

At that moment, two shadows flew from the trees on the left and right sides of the road.

In terms of volcanic waves, this movement seemed to be at the level of a student from Mount Hua Sect. To this extent, it wasn’t a threat at all.

Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae swung their sword sheaths in place, moving only one hand.

Kang-! Kakaan-!

The female monks widen the distance with a sharp metallic sound. They pointed the tip of their swords at Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae with embarrassed expressions.

“How dare you tell me where this is?”

Contrary to what he said, he seemed surprised by the other person’s level. Emei’s leaders who had been lying in ambush nearby began to flock in one by one. It was as if they were about to launch a battle.

If things continued like this, even Wolf Fang Squad’s officers could become dangerous.

Hyeonjeong showed the centurion’s nameplate in her arms, then took out the letter So-mu had given his and held it out.

“This is a handwritten letter written by the general of the Son Dynasty. I will wait here, so please pass this on to Lord Wen.”

The nun who seemed to have the highest allocation approached and handed it over.

It wasn’t clear, but it had what appeared to be the seal of a high-ranking official.

All factions belonging to the Martial World League were prohibited from engaging in conflict with the government forces, regardless of nationality. Therefore, it was impossible to just ignore it.

After thinking for a moment, she handed the letter to the nun next to him.

“If what you say is false, you will die here.”

“Do whatever you want.”

After receiving the letter, the female monk opened her eyes and quickly disappeared toward the summit of Emei Mountain.

There was silence like that for a while.

Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae held So-so’s hand and waited in silence.

And the response came unexpectedly quickly. It wasn’t even a full meal.

Instead of the young nun who had brought the letter, an elderly monk was coming down.

The nuns of Emei welcomed her with their hands joined together.

The highest-ranking disciple asked cautiously.

“How did the elder come in person”?”

In Emei, Hangryeol was a big player, ranked among the top five.

She approached So-so without even looking at the nuns.

“You are his daughter.”

“hello””.”

“Oh, come on. But how can something so young go around with such energy?”

So-so was still lowering his head with a sullen expression.

“My friends are scared”.”

Because of his friends at Seolwhawon, So-so always had a habit of going around to preserve his energy. Moreover, after learning the art of salmun, the technique became more sophisticated, to the point where I felt like an ordinary person.

“Okay, it doesn”t matter. Anyway, Master Moon is waiting, so let”s go up.”

So-so hesitated, looking at Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae in turn. It seemed like it was a shame to part ways like this.

“…Can”t I go to the top with my uncles?”

The nuns who watched silently thought that Geumhyesaesa would reject them at once.

Men’s access to Emei was extremely restricted, and was only possible with the approval of the elders.

However, Geumhyesae answered without any hesitation.

“I allow it. Do it.”

The nuns, as well as Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae, were surprised.

After finishing speaking, Geum Hyesae turned around and led the group.

Gyeong-gong, holding his back and gliding forward like flowing water, was extremely mysterious.

Cheong-hae sent a message to Hyeonjeong with an expression of admiration.

– Elder, I guess that’s Emei’s Yuyushinbeop.

– I guess so. Since it was the old Daemun faction”s method of rising and renewing, it should be at that level.

After a while, when we arrived at Emei, there was a commotion.

This was because young nuns flocked to see Hyeonjeong and Cheong-hae like bees. They ranged from young nuns around the same age to those in their late teens.

If not now, where else would you have a chance to see a man? They were young nuns who were unable to descend the mountain without any special circumstances.

It was natural to show interest in the young members of Wolf Fang Squad. Because he had achieved a complete transformation, his skin was smooth and he was even handsome.

“Handsome…”

“oh.”

At that moment, Geumhyesaesa”s face was distorted like a yaksha. At the same time, a loud roar erupted and echoed through Emei Mountain.

“These damn things won”t go away!”

The startled nuns scattered in all directions like a flock of birds.

Hyun-jeong and Cheong-hae looked more strict than expected, and worried expressions appeared on their faces.

– Elder, the atmosphere here was not right. Is it really okay to leave So-so in your care?

– I’m worried. It’s only one month… ” . I’ll have to adapt well.

And as if they had been waiting, the ordered to congratulate the Geumhye incident was issued.

“You two, please come down from here now. We will take good care of your child, so you don”t have to worry.”
