#Right now, go

Mao urged him to speak quickly.

“It seems like you don’t know much.”

“Then I have to find out more. Come out. I’ll talk to you. Hey! Sa-o-jeong! Can you hear me? Why is he reacting like that? Could it be… … he’s dead?!”

He glanced at the sagging Sahojeong inside the door, his eyes widened. He nodded, and his mouth fell open.

“No, what if I kill you already!”

“Because I found out everything there was to find out.”

“You said earlier that you didn’t know anything.”

“There was one.”

“What is that?”

“It was all planned from the beginning.”

“uh……?”

There’s something we always say to our men when we’re hunting down hidden spies in the counterintelligence unit.

If you want to stand in front of your opponent, don’t follow the traces, but watch the flow.

It turned out that the story of joining hands with the scholar and exploring the west to escape through the West Gate was a lie intended to cause confusion.

That means there’s a guy in Doraeok who makes boards.

‘So we have to erase everything and start over again.’

In the first place, they escaped from Doraok without anyone’s help.

It was after I had already escaped that I joined hands with the engineer.

Jo Yang-ak said that they hid Dora-ok, but they were wrong. They didn’t need help in the first place.

therefore…….

“They approached the engineer with ulterior motives from the beginning.”

“… … !”

Yes, that’s right. What they wanted in the first place was somewhere else.

“Lee Gongja has the Oryongdang on his back, so he has superior information power than anyone else. Thanks to that, his activities of keeping an eye on the west were naturally revealed.”

“Yeah, that’s right. But why is that?”

“That’s why.”

“what……?”

“To secretly expose their actions. That’s what they were aiming for.”

Thanks to this, the Demonic Cult has decided that they will escape through the West Gate.

Because he trusted the intelligence of the Isogung Palace. It was the same reason that the Grand Duke deployed his forces to the west without any doubt.

“Long before we met the Duke, they would have already been out and about, preparing everything. And as soon as they were ready, they contacted the Duke and informed him of them. It was to create the situation we are in now.”

“Those crazy guys… … What the hell are they doing! This is not the time to be doing this. We need to find them!”

Mao trembled and bit his lips tightly. But Zhang Yi was surprisingly calm. Gu Yu gasped at this.

“Jang-seo… … . I guess you already figured out where those guys are.”

“Really?!”

Jang Yiseo nodded.

Their plan was perfect, but there was a variable.

Jo Yang-ak blew the whistle on the situation.

The schedule was pushed forward because of that.

But the biggest variable of all is… … .

The one who happened to find out about this was none other than Jang Seo, the best agent in the rock carving.

“If the trap was to draw attention to the West Gate, then they succeeded. The Grand Duke brought all his forces here and set up camp. But in that situation, was there any reason to attack the village again?”

It’s something I really don’t understand. There’s already been enough attention drawn to the west. Why bother?

Hongran said, touching my lips with her delicate hands.

“That’s strange. Rather, those who gathered at the west gate would probably come back.”

“That’s right. There’s nothing good about it. No matter how careful you are, it’s excessive.”

“then…….”

“There is only one case where someone capable of devising a scheme of this magnitude appears.”

Everyone swallowed hard and listened to Jang Seo’s words. And then he said.

“It’s like trying to hide a card that has already been taken out.”

“What is that… … .”

“I’m saying that we already have an answer as to where they’re headed.”

What on earth does this mean? Everyone was dumbfounded. Mao asked, looking frustrated.

“So does that mean we already know where the Brain Jade King is?”

“yes.”

“Are you really confident about that?”

As Zhang Yishu stared at him intently, Mao let out a sigh and said.

“I’m sure.”

That’s right. If all of this was planned, and the organizer was the Blood Cult. And if their true actions were hidden in the flow of events up to now.

If that’s the case, then there’s only one thing they’re after.

“A place that should have been tightly closed, but was unexpectedly opened.”

“no way…….”

“Daegokgo (Great Grain Warehouse).”

That’s where the Demonic Cult’s extra grain is. That’s where the Brain Jade King is after.

“I heard that Daegok High School has a secret passage that can only be opened by certain people… … .”

“That’s exactly what they were after. Hongran, send a messenger to the West Gate right now. We need to retreat immediately.”

“yes!”

“And we… … are going to Daegokgo right now.”

The Chilsogung began to move.

The King of Doraok.

To stop the Brain Jade King, Cheonaksura.

*

Doo doo doo doo!

In Chilsogung, over a hundred horses stretch out, kicking up sandstorms.

Zhang Li, Mao, and the Seven Wuwei.

And as they left Wolha Village, one of the ships branched off and headed somewhere else.

‘I wish you good luck.’

A woman praying deeply in her heart while looking at the crowd moving away. It was Hongran, wearing a black robe that covered her head.

She headed to where the messenger was to deliver the news to the West Gate.

Normally, it would be right to go to the pigeon kennel (鳩舍房 – a place to raise homing pigeons) in the village located about an hour away from here… … .

‘It’s too late.’

From now on, it’s a fight against time. The opponents are the sinners of Doraok who have regained their martial arts. Among them, the Brain King is presumed to be a demon.

If reinforcements are even a little late… … .

‘The master is in danger.’

That is something that should never happen. Hongran turned her horse and quickly charged out.

And before long we arrived at…

“Stop!”

It was none other than the nearest gate. The warriors who saw her running towards them from afar shouted.

“Hey, stop!”

Not enough time to explain one thing.

Heeeeeeling!

As the distance grew closer, he kicked off his saddle and charged straight toward the wall.

The warriors’ heads rose to the sky, and she laughed at them as she landed on the wall.

The black-haired beauty transformed into a white-haired witch.

“Tch, intruder!”

Beep!

The warriors’ alarm sounds, and they gather in an instant to surround them.

Sreung!

They aimed their drawn weapons and pressured her little by little, but no one rushed at them easily.

Because I already had a feeling that they were no match for me just from the power they had shown me.

“Get out of the way.”

As Hongran waved her arms with a sharp voice, a strong wind blew in and pushed the warriors back three or four steps.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

Thud. Then, as she stepped down from the railing to the floor, he voluntarily took two more steps back.

He is a master. He is a master of the highest level.

“If you don’t move, you die.”

Everyone swallowed at the warning that followed.

That was a moment of imminent danger.

“What’s going on!”

A man entered the gate, dividing the warriors. It was Hwang Ji-hong, the person in charge of the gate and the gatekeeper.

And he is one of those who always receives help from the Chusenru.

“Rouge?!”

He came running towards her in surprise. Hongran tightly shut her eyes and barely suppressed the rising desire to kill.

With only one thought in mind: to save Jang Yi-seo.

And then, as if nothing had happened, he lifted the black robe covering his head and stepped forward.

Become a beautiful black-haired beauty, your true self.

“No, what the hell is going on? How did you get up here…? What are you all doing! Why don’t you put down your swords right now!”

At his furious voice, the warriors hurriedly opened the way after drawing their swords.

“Why did you come so far, Lady Rouge… If you had told me in advance, I would have gone out to greet you. Hehe.”

Hongran raised her hand to her mouth and shook her head.

“Goalkeeper. Can I ask you a favor?”

“Compared to what I have received, even a hundred thousand would be no good. Just speak.”

“From now on, please send messengers to all the places I tell you.”

“Right now?”

“Yes. Right now.”

At that moment when the black walls began to turn gray as the sun rose.

Five doves flew high into the sky.

With her wishes tied to her slender ankles.

*

Meanwhile, Jang Yi-seo and Mao, who had been running along the dawn road without rest as if they were tamping down dry ground, and Chilmuwi had already reached the southern village near Daegokgo.

“also……?”

There was nothing left to say there but ‘again’.

People who collapsed without any reaction even though their bodies were burning fiercely.

Damn!

Houses destroyed by flames.

“earthly…….”

The mountains were burning.

The second village was already in ruins. It was terrible. A thousand fires rose in my heart.

The only fortunate thing is… … .

“Please, save me!”

There are still people left to save here.

Mao jumped off the horse and bounced like a water spring.

Then he cut open the chest of the sinner with a knife towards the fallen believer.

“Kihihi… … Hic?!”

Choaaaah!

Blood spurts out, and the divided sinner falls backwards.

At this, all the evil-doers laugh and turn their heads towards Mao.

“Fucking bastards.”

Mao felt a murderous urge boiling deep in his chest.

Those kids are not human. How can they do such things and laugh like that?

In the past, I would have just gritted my teeth and done nothing. But not now.

“trough-!”

As cries of rage erupted, papapapat! Guyu and the Seven Warriors in red uniforms rode their horses and entered the burning village without hesitation.

There was no need for a longer explanation. The owner only wanted one thing.

“Destroy it.”

Maoooooooo!

The Seven Swordsmen spread out in dozens of directions with shouts.

Kkaaaak!

And the mad laughter was no longer heard from the mouths of the sinners of Doraok.

They just let out the same screams as the villagers they tormented.

*

A lot of time passed.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

The cries of the living were heard everywhere. Mao trembled.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it. Where is this place? It’s the Cheonma Shingyo, the sect of demons.

But who would have thought that such a tragedy would occur in Cheonsan of all places?

Jang Il-seo, who came up to me, spoke in a bitter tone.

“… … Cheonsan is now like an uninhabited mountain. There is no way to stop them from attacking without warning by avoiding the checkpoint.”

Moreover, it was late in the morning and most of them were heading west, so news was slow to arrive. In fact, this was the biggest problem. They weren’t the type of people who would just burn down a village and be done with it.

“Then there’s no way to catch these kids? Should we just leave them alone, knowing they’ll all die?!”

To be honest, it’s not easy. I don’t even know where it went, and Daegok High School is the priority right now.

but…….

Zhang Li hoped that Mao’s current state of mind would remain one of justice, not of anger and malice.

What should I do?

I close my eyes tightly and lose myself in thought.

“Jang Il-seo… …?”

When Mao, sensing something strange, called out to him, after a while he opened his eyes wide, got off his horse, and began drawing a line on the ground with his dagger.

“There are thirty-seven villages in Cheonsan. I won’t target just any village, but if you consider the ones with at least a hundred people living there, there are exactly twenty-five. If you exclude the western part, there are nineteen… … .”

Mao’s mouth opened slightly.

It was a map. Jang was drawing a map while guessing the movements of the criminals.
