However, even if we got the directions, we couldn’t invade this place right now.
‘It’s good to sneak out, but there could be trouble when you come back.’
Hye-geol and several other Shaolin disciples were like guards who followed Mujin to prevent him from running away at night.
In other words, if he sneaked out and returned this time, there was a risk that surveillance would become more severe.
In many ways, it was a handshake for Mujin, who had to escape to meet the future Cheonma in about a month.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.
“Let’s go out first.”
Mujin moved towards somewhere, holding only the medicine he had received from Cheonryu Sangdan.
* * *
The person Mu-jin went to with the directions was Hye-geol.
The simplest way to succeed in doing something that others told you not to do was to make the person you were trying to stop you an accomplice.
Of course, it is a tactic that does not work for people like Hye-dam who are more upright than Mok-seok, but most of them had no choice but to take sides in situations where they would be accused of being accomplices.
“So, are you saying that the location written on the map is one of the bases of the Hwasan Wave and Daegeumsangdan?”
“That’s right. Master Sasukjo.”
“But why are you telling me that?”
“Of course, shouldn’t we hit here?”
“… … “What are they doing wrong that they are attacking me?”
“Well, aren’t you threatening the Jongnam faction by unleashing the Jongnam Geombo at Hwasan and Daegeum Sangdan?”
“There is no evidence that they did it.”
As expected, Hye-geol also felt a bit blocked from thinking, perhaps because she was a disciple of Shaolin.
“no way. You have to eat poop, but do you know it’s poop? “You’ll know it when you see it.”
“Hmm. Anyway, the analogy is too much. “How can you compare the same political faction to poop?”
“Wouldn’t poop be better? “At least when you see poop, you see it as poop, so you avoid it, but these guys are from a prestigious political faction and are acting like they’re gold on the outside.”
“Hmm. “I know that, but did you know that there would be a lot of trouble if you invaded without justification?”
“That side also had no justification. We just couldn’t find any evidence. “Then why don’t we do the same?”
“… … Are you saying we should attack that place, but leave no evidence?”
“That’s right. Sasukjo. So, I need the help of Hyegeol Sasukjo in this matter.”
“???”
For Hye-geol, who still seemed to not understand, Mu-jin added an explanation.
“Anyway, all you have to do is disguise your face or dress and use bast cotton or cotton thread. In the end, the biggest evidence in martial arts is the traces of martial arts used. “Only those skilled enough to attack the enemy’s base while hiding the martial arts skills of Shaolin can join us in this task.”
And Hye-geol was one of the top ten masters in Shaolin, living up to her nickname of Invincible with the Five Powers.
It was said that he was a talented person who could beat most experts with just the basic recommended martial arts, without using the Shaolin Five Fists, which was his main skill.
“So, are you saying you and I are going to go alone?”
“I’m thinking about taking just one more person.”
No less than Hye-geol. No, if the condition was to hide the Shaolin martial arts skills, there was one more guy who would fight better than Hye-geol.
“Hmm… … .”
As Hye-geol seemed to continue to worry, Mu-jin made his final game.
“Mr. Sasukjo. The situation will not get better if you continue to belatedly respond to enemy attacks. “Isn’t there a saying that offense is the best defense?”
“Whew. okay. “In this case, it seems you are right.”
It was Mujin who succeeded in making an accomplice.
* * *
Around late evening.
Three shadows left Jongnam Mountain and began moving northeast.
One was Mu-jin, the other was Hye-geol, and the last one was Mu-gyeong.
Even excluding Shaolin martial arts, there was no one more specialized in this than Mu-gyeong, who stole and learned dozens of martial arts.
Jongnam and Hwasan are close, but that is only based on the huge land mass of Jungwon.
The distance between Jongnam and Hwasan was over 400 ri (160 km).
However, all three had reached a fairly high level, so they succeeded in covering that long distance in just over an hour.
The place they arrived at was Hwaeumhyeon, located right in front of the volcanic wave.
And when Mujin arrived at Hwaeumhyeon, he looked at the map he had brought with him and headed to the place indicated on the map.
– There it is.
A bustling place in Hwaeumhyeon. Mujin sent a message, pointing to the manor neatly located there.
Hye-geol and Mu-gyeong, who heard the news, looked at the manor that Mu-jin pointed to.
[Daegeum top]
Yes. The place they were aiming for was not a hidden hideout.
Recently, Bunta, Hwaeumhyeon, Daegeumsangdan, which maintains a close relationship with Hwasan, was Mujin’s destination.
In the first place, not only was Daegeum Sangdan not a hidden force, but the relationship between Hwasan and Daegeum Sangdan was an open secret, so they did not meet in a separate hidden hideout.
Nevertheless, there are two main reasons why a map was needed.
One is so that Mujin, who is new to Hwaeumhyeon, does not get lost.
Another thing was to find out what the role of each hall was in the spacious manor.
– When I send a message, please climb over the wall on the right and draw attention with Mu-gyeong.
While Hye-geol was puzzled, she moved to the right fence as instructed by Mu-jin.
– Now!
And just as soon as Mujin’s electric sound arrived, it climbed over the right wall and penetrated into the manor.
“What a guy!!”
“How dare you aim for our Daegeum Sangdan!!”
Hye-geol and Mu-gyeong, dressed in black military uniform and with their faces covered by black masks, looked like thieves or assassins to anyone who saw them.

only.
puck!
“Aaaah!”
“Stop it! “I’m telling you to stop those guys!!”
For a thief or assassin, he had a bit of a problem with being extremely strong.
“How dare these guys!!”
visor!
Is it because the commotion has grown? Suddenly, men wearing military uniforms with plum blossoms on them began to appear.
Hye-geol’s eyes, upon seeing their appearance, were colored with a look of embarrassment under the mask.
‘her. No matter how much they do business with each other, I never thought they would keep their disciples living in Bunta. Even the plum blossom inspection.’
As he was the vice-owner of Shaolin’s outhouse, Hye-geol immediately recognized the man who seemed to be the leader of the Hwasan Sect disciples.
Choyun (草潤), a great disciple of the Hwasan Sect and one of the twenty-four Plum Sword Masters, was here.
It was a part that showed how close the Daegeum Sangdan and the Hwasan faction were.
However, Hye-geol is also a middle-aged Murim person. Just because the situation was unexpected, she wasn’t so foolish that she lost her concentration in battle.
“Let me show you how scary the volcano sword is!”
“Hit!”
As soon as Choyun’s order was given, about twenty Hwasan Sect disciples rushed at Hye-geol and Mu-gyeong.
A situation where you have to deal with disciples of a prestigious sect like Shaolin. Even Mu-gong had to hide himself to avoid being discovered that he came from Shaolin.
However, Hye-geol easily avoided their attacks and even counterattacked.
Surprisingly, Hye-geol was learning one more martial art than the Shaolin Five Fist.
“Sa, it must be Sa Sapa’s martial arts!”
“What a bizarre move!”
As their colleagues are caught off guard by Hye-geol’s unpredictable movements, the Hwasan Sect disciples cry out in embarrassed tones.
But regardless, Hye-geol showed off a martial art of her own and pushed the Hwasan Sect disciples.
“Ukki!”
With some strange monkey crying.
Yes. What Hye-geol was unfolding was the back hand.
While teaching martial arts to Muhyul and Lingling. Hye-geol, who found out that just as Lingling imitates Muhyul, Muhyul also imitates Lingling, created a technique suitable for Lingling’s movements that Muhyul imitates and taught it to Muyul.
And in the process, he naturally also became accustomed to the second volume.
“Ukki!”
Perhaps I was too immersed in Ling Ling, but when I opened the second volume, I had the side effect of making a monkey noise without realizing it.
“A monkey!?”
“execution! He must be a thief from Nanman! “Isn’t it said that among the martial arts of the Nanman Beast Palace, there are some that imitate the movements of animals?”
In response to the thankful misunderstanding of the Hwasan sect gurus, Hye-geol breathed a sigh of relief under her mask.
It was not because he hid his status as a disciple of Shaolin.
“Ukki!”
It was a sigh of relief because he didn’t get caught imitating a monkey.
Apart from having those thoughts in your head.
“Ukki!”
Without a doubt, Hye-geol made monkey noises and defeated one more Hwasan Sect disciple.
This was partly due to his superior authority, but other reasons were greater.
Firstly, it was because the level of the Hwasan Sect disciples had strangely dropped.
‘also. Like Jongnam, it seems like most of the masters have been sent to other places.’
Excluding the leader, Choyun, the first disciple, they all seemed to be second generation disciples.
And the second reason is.
puck!
“Sigh.”
Kwasik!
“Aaaah!!”
This was due to the presence of Mu-gyeong, who was making cool hitting sounds and screams next to him.
‘Huh. ‘I knew you had a lot of talent, though.’
I never thought it would be like this.
Although Mu-gyeong was using martial arts to his heart’s content, he was not using any of Shaolin’s martial arts.
As Mu-gyeong and Hye-geol defeated about ten Hwasan Sect disciples in an instant, Plum Swordsman Cho-yoon drew his sword.
“Are you planning to tarnish the name of the volcano?”
After shouting, Cho-yoon rushed towards Mu-gyeong, who was beating up his students.
True to its name, Plum Swordsman, plum blossoms shaped like red swords began to bloom from the tip of Choyun’s sword.
However, Mu-gyeong, who had already been tormented by Hye-gwan, easily blocked or avoided all of Cho-yoon’s plum attacks.
Hye-geol, who felt much more at ease with the situation thanks to Mu-gyeong defeating several Hwasan Sect disciples and even dealing with Cho-yoon, thought of this.
‘… … In a situation where Shaolin’s martial arts skills are hidden, it seems that he is better than me.’
It was a subtle feeling in many ways. The first and third disciples are two levels apart in rank.
Just looking at the time spent learning martial arts, there is a difference of more than 30 years.
‘Come to think of it, I heard that screams stopped coming from Priest Hyegwan’s residence recently.’
At first, I thought it was just because Hye-gwan cared for him, but now I thought it meant that the child had become equal to Hye-gwan.
When choosing the strongest among Shaolin disciples. The first two names mentioned were Hye-dam and Hye-gwan.
Hye-dam, who spent decades in Shaolin and accumulated martial skills, and Hye-gwan, who experienced countless battles.
Hye-dam’s level of skill is higher, but there were many who gave Hye-gwan the upper hand because of their actual combat experience.
And the person following closely behind was none other than Hye-geol herself.
However, I never thought he would have been overtaken by the Third Great Disciple rather than the Second Great Disciple.
However, both Hye-geol and that child were Shaolin people.
‘There is no such thing as Shaolin’s prosperity. ha ha ha.’
Rather than feeling jealous, Hye-geol was willing to celebrate her junior’s growth.
From that perspective. There was one more Heungbok of Shaolin.
Shaolin Cheil Equipment, recognized by others. No, it’s the best in the world.
‘Now that you think about it, what is that kid doing after sending us here?’
When Hye-geol remembered a belated question.
bang!!!
On the other side of the manor, a huge explosion erupted.
* * *
Mu-jin pushed Hye-geol and Mu-gyeong towards the right wall first, and while they were drawing the opponent’s attention, he entered the backwaters of the manor using ghost beams and dark airspace.
And after moving around avoiding people’s attention, Mujin was able to reach the warehouse he had been aiming for from the beginning.
In this warehouse, major supplies from Daegeumsangdan Hwaeumhyeon Bunta were stored.
‘The key to war is supply.’
One of the biggest reasons why Mujin targeted this place was to rob Daegeumsangdan of money.
The fact that the upper class and the clan formed an alliance in the first place would mean that the relationship was ultimately tied to money.
In order to provide enough money to Hwasan’s satisfaction, a considerable amount of money had to be accumulated here in Bunta, Hwaeum County.
If he stole that kind of money, there was a possibility that the alliance could be disrupted, and above all, it was perfect for hiding his identity.
‘It’s perfect for pretending to be a thief.’
They couldn’t blame Jongnam or Sorim for being robbed by thieves.
How many gold and silver treasures are actually sleeping in that warehouse?
The moment Mujin opened the warehouse door with such anticipation.
“!!!”
Dozens of plum blossoms drawn with a red sword flew toward Mujin.
However, it was not Mujin who was surprised.
The middle-aged man of the Hwasan sect embroidered with plum blossoms looked surprised as he looked at the man in black who had swatted away his swordsmanship with a few hand gestures, as if shooing away flies.
On the contrary, Mujin, who easily blocked the sudden attack, was snorting lightly.
‘Hmm~? I never thought he would be here today.’
The swordsman who surprised Mujin was a man whom Mujin had already seen.
Maehyangchwigeom (梅香醉劍) Hwasungyeong.
One of the elders of the Hwasan Sect, at the time of the Martial Arts Tournament. He was a human who tried to attract Shaolin, shamans, and Ami as allies.
