The morning after Yifeng Hall had swept away the Wolf Union.
It was less than an hour after Ilpyeong had gotten the nickna 'chatterbox'.
A number in the dozens flocked to Yifeng Hall.
At that, the master, Yu Bicheon, was so surprised that he ran to the main gate.
"What is all this?"
Yu Bicheon looked at the front of the main gate with eyes that had grown as big as lanterns.
A number close to one hundred had flocked there.
They were none other than the people of the Qingfeng Sect and the Zhao Family.
"Didn't you know?"
"What do you an?"
Yu Bicheon asked back at the Qingfeng Sect Master who was asking. He really did not know the reason why they had co in such a flock, even bringing all their family mbers.
"The Xiong Hu Martial Arts School and the Taiyi School have been wiped out."
"Wiped out?"
"They were all killed last night!"
"......!"
"Where is the great hero Mu? Since the Evil Family Fortress and the Heaven of Killing Emperors have brutally swept away the Xiong Hu Martial Arts School and the Taiyi School, we must be with the Divine Martial Stage. Hurry, hurry and guide us."
"F-first, co inside."
Yu Bicheon let the people of the Qingfeng Sect and the Zhao Family, who had run away, into Yifeng Hall. And after telling the martial artists of Yifeng Hall to guard the surroundings like an iron wall, he hurriedly went inside.
The main hall of Yifeng Hall.
The master of Yifeng Hall, Yu Bicheon, Mu Yanchou, who was leading the Divine Martial Stage, and the two leaders of the Qingfeng Sect and the Zhao Family gathered in one place.
"What are we going to do about this. Isn't it because we attacked the Seven Kill Gate and the Wolf Union for no reason that we are suffering this damage!"
The Zhao Family Master raised his voice, his neck veins bulging.
The target of that attack was Yifeng Hall.
He claid that because Yifeng Hall had annihilated the Seven Kill Gate and the Wolf Union, the Heaven of Killing Emperors and the Evil Family Fortress had carried out that retaliation.
"What! Are you saying that now? This hall has been fighting a bloody battle with the Seven Kill Gate for years. When you were just standing by and watching, we shed our blood and gave our lives to fight them for the tomorrow of Guiyang. Is that all! What did you do when the Heaven of Killing Emperors attacked this hall? You used us as bait and went to strike the Evil Family Fortress!"
"The art of war says that there is a ti and a place for every battle. That was the most appropriate ti to strike the Evil Family Fortress. And even if we say that about the Seven Kill Chamber, why did you strike the Wolf Union? It's because Yifeng Hall launched a surprise attack on the Wolf Union that the Heaven of Killing Emperors launched a surprise attack on the Xiong Hu Martial Arts School and the Taiyi School in retaliation!"
"Are you saying it's our fault now?"
"Then whose fault would it be!"
"Shut up! There's a limit to turning the tables!"
Yu Bicheon could not stand it anymore and slamd the table and stood up.
At that, the Zhao Family Master also burst into anger and stood up to face him.
When the two were growling like that, the Qingfeng Sect Master said coldly.
"That's enough. This is not a place to bicker. Great hero Mu. Let's leave here with the Divine Martial Stage."
"That's right. Let's find a place to stay with us. If we continue to stay in a place that is so blocked and doesn't even know the art of war, we will suffer a great disaster soday!"
Yu Bicheon was so angry that he could not even speak.
To think that the leaders of the Orthodox lineage who supported Guiyang were so shaless and foolish.
He thought he knew the reason why the Heaven of Killing Emperors had struck two places and left two places. It was a trick to cause confusion and incite discord among those who were scared.
'Really, he chose well!'
Yu Bicheon was about to be afraid of the enemy who had used such a sche.
There was no more effective response to such a sche than for everyone to unite. But the current situation was the opposite.
"I was thinking of finding a suitable place to stay anyway."
Mu Yanchou said.
His face was full of a cold expression.
"Even though I ca with the order of the Six Heavens in Tianlian, I am being treated worse than a re ronin, so how can I continue to stay?"
"......!"
"You should know that it is entirely your responsibility that I and the Divine Martial Stage are leaving Yifeng Hall."
It ant that if Tianlian were to question it later, the choice at this mont was sothing that had happened because Yifeng Hall had driven them out.
Yu Bicheon stared at Mu Yanchou with a dumbfounded face.
Mu Yanchou, who did not even think of diating between the two sides, but only cared about his pride and shirked his future responsibility, was extrely pathetic.
"Why are you explaining so much, they won't understand even if you tell them. Let's go quickly."
"Let's do that."
The leaders of the Qingfeng Sect and the Zhao Family instigated Mu Yanchou and led him outside.
Mu Yanchou left Yifeng Hall with his hands behind his back, swaggering.
With the Divine Martial Stage.
But he did not know.
That from the day he had thrown Yifeng Hall as bait, Yu Bicheon and Yifeng Hall had completely given up their expectations of him and the Divine Martial Stage. And that that expectation was now directed entirely at Cho Myung.
***
"The situation is as it is, so the strength of young hero Ban has beco even more desperate. The Evil Family Fortress and the Heaven of Killing Emperors might launch a surprise attack, taking advantage of this opportunity. Do you know what I an?"
"Yes."
"We will strengthen the security around here, but just like when the assassins launched a surprise attack last ti, young hero Ban will have to pay a lot of attention to prevent sacrifices."
"You don't have to worry about that. One of the things I'm really good at is looking far away."
Cho Myung said confidently.
A smile even appeared on his face.
Cho Myung was just happy that he could be of such great help in driving out the bad guys and protecting people.
In addition, for Cho Myung, whose five senses were extrely developed, it was not a very difficult task to detect the movents of the assassins.
The problem was that he could not sleep all night, but he could just take a nap during the day. Although he liked to sleep, it did not matter if he did not sleep. Because the energy in his body would quickly relieve that much fatigue.
'Did you hear? We're going to be busy for a while.'
Cho Myung grinned.
Without knowing that that smile made Yu Bicheon worry about whether he could be trusted.
***
Evil Family Fortress.
An old man with a white beard was sitting in a high place, looking down at everyone.
He was Zuo Zimu, one of the five great guardians of the Heaven of Killing Emperors.
Zuo Zimu was one of the ten great assassins of the previous generation, and his notoriety was great.
"You are truly great. The brats were split in two as Guardian Zuo had intended."
The middle-aged man who was bowing and praising him was the fortress master of the Evil Family Fortress, Yue Zhonghan.
"Hehehe! If their intentions are different, they can't unite and will split, that's the habit of the Orthodox Faction brats. If it were us, we would fight and re-establish the hierarchy, but we wouldn't split."
"Now that the brats have split, all that's left is to strike them one by one. Which place will you strike first? I'm already looking forward to this."
"If you try to drink it all at once, you'll choke on the water."
"What?"
"I'll drink it slowly, one sip at a ti. One of the reasons I'm here is to find out the martial prowess of the Divine Martial Stage in detail. In addition, I have to find out what happened to the children I sent to the Yifeng Hall side, so don't be impatient."
"I understand."
When Yue Zhonghan bowed, Zuo Zimu's gaze turned to one side.
"Don't strike both sides at once, but go on a badger hunt. And put an eye on the Yifeng Hall side."
"Yes, sir!"
The leader of the Hundred Kill Group received the order.
It was what had happened half an hour after Mu Yanchou and the Divine Martial Stage had left Yifeng Hall.
***
A crooked moon.
Since it was still far from a full moon, the world with weak moonlight was very dark.
Cho Myung was sitting on the roof of the Yifeng Hall main building.
Although he did not have to be outside, since it was not bad to look at the world full of darkness, he had deliberately gone up to the roof.
He sat quietly in the darkness and retraced the steps he had taken alone.
The people he had t by chance.
Thanks to Eom Tak's kindness, he had co this far.
In fact, he did not like the life of a ronin.
Because he had to fight soone to earn money.
But it was certain that it was a part of the world he had to know.
Because the Divine Martial Stage of Tianlian had co this far.
'I'll see everything. What kind of world I'm living in. What kind of people they are, how people see them. When I know everything, I'll think about it then. And if I have to go and find them, I'll go and ask. Why did you do that, why was it , aren't you sorry.'
In the past, he had only been scared when he thought of those old n.
But now he was angry.
His fists were clenched without him realizing it.
Because it was unfair.
Why did he have to suffer such a terrible thing?
So he had to resolve it.
Properly.
Cho Myung stopped his thoughts there.
With a presence, a person ca up to the roof, fluttering his clothes.
"Let's take turns."
Yu Bicheon said, sitting next to Cho Myung.
It seed he was sorry.
Cho Myung looked at Yu Bicheon's face and smiled.
Because seeing Yu Bicheon, who was sorry and concerned, reminded him of his big brothers and grandfather at the Hua Family Clinic.
"Master."
"Yes, speak."
"I learned a strange martial art. So it doesn't matter if I don't sleep. If necessary, I can take a nap during the day."
"I know what you an, but I'm sorry to leave it all to young hero Ban."
"Then just teach one thing."
"What is it. Just say the word."
"The Six Orthodox Heavens, what kind of people are they?"
"......!"
***
In a forest that was like a folding screen for Yifeng Hall, people wearing black night clothes that were darker than the darkness gathered. And one of them moved silently towards Yifeng Hall and then returned in half a mont.
"Two brats are on the roof of the main building."
"Is there a guard?"
"Since they were just sitting, it didn't seem so."
"Good. Since it's a chilly weather, they won't be there for long. We'll start in a mont."
It was when the leader had made a decision in a low voice.
A heavy sound was heard from sowhere.
It was like the sound of a heavy stone being thrown on the ground.
"......!"
The black night people all turned to the Yifeng Hall side.
Because the sound had co from that side.
But what was this, the mont they had just turned, sothing whitish seed to shoot up into the dark night sky. The mont everyone showed a reaction of 'what is that?'.
Thud!
Sothing fell right in front of the night people.
And soon a gale swept in.
Thwack! Thwack!
With a heavy blow, the night people were sent flying.
The night people who scattered in all directions and ran away.
It was useless.
The gale swept in all directions like a storm.
The twenty night people were all knocked out without a single one being able to escape.
But the gale did not stop there and shot up into the empty air and then plunged down to the upper part of the mountain.
"Huh?"
Thwack!
It was the sound of one more night person being knocked out.
That was the end.
A short while after the gale stopped, a person ca running from the Yifeng Hall side, fluttering his clothes.
"Is it over already?"
It was Yu Bicheon.
"Yes. As you said, I didn't miss a single one."
Cho Myung answered, dragging the last night person who had been knocked out from above.
"You're really great!"
Yu Bicheon said in admiration.
He had detected the reconnaissance of the assassin that he had not even detected, and he had captured them all before he had even arrived.
"I'm pretty good at knocking people out."
Cho Myung smiled in the darkness.
At the sa ti, at the Zhao Family.
There were night people approaching in the darkness.
The night people who had gathered in the darkness under the wall examined the situation inside the mansion and then jumped over the wall without a single sound.
Flick! Flick!
The two hidden weapons that the night people had thrown flew towards the oil lamps.
But suddenly, the door burst open, and martial artists poured out from inside the building.
"We were waiting!"
Ting! Ting!
The hidden weapons that were aiming for the oil lamps were deflected helplessly.
The martial artists who had poured out imdiately rushed at the night people, and the night people, after pouring a rain of hidden weapons, ran out of the wall.
"Don't chase them."
Mu Yanchou's voice was heard.
The mbers of the Divine Martial Stage, who had chased them up to the wall, turned their bodies back with a stylish motion and flew back.
It was at this ti that a noisy sound was heard from the opposite side of the mansion.
"It's a feint, as expected."
Mu Yanchou turned to that side and grinned.
He seed confident that assassins would not be able to do anything.
Because he had divided the mbers of the Divine Martial Stage into three and had placed them on both sides and the rear of the mansion.
The main gate was left empty.
The brats who had crawled in through the main gate could co into the mansion, but if they were pushed from three directions at the sa ti, they could be annihilated in an instant.
"It seems that side has also been repelled."
In a short while, the opposite side also beca quiet.
Mu Yanchou turned to the mbers of the Divine Martial Stage.
"Everyone, rest."
The mbers of the Divine Martial Stage went into the building.
Mu Yanchou opened his chest, thinking that he had finally saved the face of Tianlian and the Divine Martial Stage.
But he did not know.
That this was just the beginning.
Half an hour later, the night people jumped over the wall again.
Similarly, the mbers of the Divine Martial Stage easily chased them away. But after half an hour, they jumped over the wall again, and it was repeated until the morning sun rose.
A badger hunt.
When hunting a badger in a burrow, you light a fire at the entrance.
It is to make the badger, who cannot stand the smoke, run out of the burrow on its own.
The badger hunt of the Heaven of Killing Emperors.
Although there was a difference in the thod, it was the sa in that they harassed the opponent until they collapsed on their own.
Not only Mu Yanchou and the Divine Martial Stage, but also all the people of the Zhao Family who were gathered in the Zhao Family, including the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect, could not sleep a wink all night.
But the real problem was that that was not all.
When morning ca and the sun rose, the family mbers of the Zhao Family were busy moving, rubbing their sleepy eyes, to prepare breakfast.
Smoke was rising from here and there, and an hour after the assassins had jumped over the wall, the Divine Martial Stage returned to their respective residences, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this ti that the surprise attack of the assassins occurred, and what they aid for were the family mbers of the Zhao Family and the ordinary martial artists. In a mont of carelessness, about twenty people were hit by hidden weapons and fell.
The mbers of the Divine Martial Stage, who had returned to their residences, had to stand guard again, and Mu Yanchou finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
'If this continues for three or four days, we won't be able to hold out...!'
