Looking over Namgoongmu’s shoulder as he held down the struggling man, the embroidery on his blood-soaked clothes caught my eye.
“Meng (盟)… ?”
“No, what are you doing here now! Go back to your room quickly!”
Namgoongmu, who heard what I muttered without thinking, turned around and shouted with a surprised face.
“Eight… !”
“Uh… !”
“Catch that!”
Craddangtang!
The man who was lying on the floor noticed that Namgoongmu’s shoulder had lost strength, so he stood up and pushed the other leader who was holding his leg.
Although it was momentary, it seemed like he had used his inner strength as he avoided the hands of the leaders.
‘That blood… I don’t think it’s my blood.’
Slam! Slam!
“Wow… omg… ”
Contrary to the expectation that the man would escape the restraints and run to the front door of Yeonhwagak, he closed the half-open door and bolted it.
thud!
“Qu… !”
“Hold on!”
“You can’t even move a finger!”
Naturally, the team members who followed easily overpowered the man and pinned him to the wall next to the entrance.
“Stay still.”
I said, taking out the Super Manual Dongbaekjang from my inventory.
Wow!
Water gushing out from buckets lined up at the back of the store and shooting at the man who was captured by the leaders.
“Well, what is this… ! Ah right lol… Growling… ”
The man who was shouting something was stuck in the water and spewed out air bubbles.
The leaders who were restraining the man let go of their hands and took a step back. Of course, the man couldn’t even think of running away because the water suddenly surrounded his whole body.
I didn’t care, and just like a washing machine, I manipulated the water with a super-handicap machine and washed away the blood that was covering the man’s whole body.
Every time the water in the air roughly passes over the man’s body, the water turns red due to the blood wiped from the man’s body.
And only after the man’s face turned pale, reflexively letting out a breath in surprise, did I stop washing the person’s laundry.
Wow~
The water, which was mixed with blood and turned red, was recovered and put back into the bucket.
Everyone who witnessed me taking out the Super Water Dongbaekjang and controlling the water had their eyes widened.
Namgoongmu asked me, ignoring the man’s cackling with both hands on the floor.
“Small cooperative. That legal instrument… ?”
“I picked it up while taking a walk at Dongjeong Lake last time.”
“Walking… What do you mean?”
I also did not openly use the legal phrase used by the owner of Sugyochae in front of others without even thinking about it.
Even if it was revealed that I was the one who subjugated Sugyochae, my reputation would have improved, and there would have been no real loss.
The only problem is that the trace left by Baek Geon, called Fighting Dragon, is related to me…
‘From now on, I won’t just stick around next to Baek Geon, and my alibi will naturally build up over time.’
It would have been easily resolved later if Baek Geon, who acted separately, left traces in a distant region.
The leaders, including Namgungmu, seemed to have roughly guessed the situation and nodded quietly when I seemed to have no intention of going into further details.
Cheonpunggeomdae knew my abilities best while training with me at Namgung Sega, and I heard vivid eyewitness accounts from members who witnessed the fight with Tuma at the time.
I was a little surprised by that, but I didn’t make a big fuss.
But Namgung Hwaran was different.
“Minho… ?”
“Huh?”
Wow~
“When did you sneak out and start doing this?”
“Ernie, I heard you know Gunyang Jami well… (No, I just can’t sleep well…)”
Namgung Hwaran called me softly and grabbed my cheek with both hands. I mumbled excuses that wouldn’t work in a slurred voice.
In the end, I had to be held captive by her and listen to her nag.
“… … okay? From now on, I can’t go anywhere, I just have to hug and sleep… really… ”
Fortunately, Namgung Hwaran was also of the Murim family, so I wasn’t too surprised. What she was dissatisfied with was not that he had done something dangerous, but that he had done it secretly and kept it a secret from her.
“Ugh… ”
At that time, the man who was lying face down and spitting out water staggered and stood up.
Not only Namgung Hwaran, who was nagging, but also the guards who were on guard focused their attention on him.
The man who got up groped his body as if the blood had been completely washed away. Then, he frowned a little and twitched his nose.
“Sniff… It smells… ?”
I quietly looked into space.
As it happened, the water in the bucket was the water from which the mop that had been put out for cleaning the night before was washed.
‘It was dirty because it was the water from the bucket that was used for cleaning, but there was no other water nearby so there was nothing they could do… ‘
Still, the man was noticeably calmer than before, perhaps because the dark red blood covering his body had disappeared.
He appeared relatively shabby compared to our group, as he had no separate weapons such as swords or swords.
On his uniform chest, the character Maeng (盟) that I had seen appeared a little more clearly.
Since the blood on the fabric could not be completely removed with a simple swirl, the color was slightly stained, but there was no problem in identifying the letters.
“So, are you calm enough to talk now?”
When the man saw Namgoongmu’s military uniform stepping forward and asking a question, his eyes widened and he looked very surprised.
“I, Namgoong… !”
“That’s right, we are the warriors of the Namgung family. What on earth happened that a warrior from the Murim League was covered in blood at this late hour… ”
“Why is Namgoong here…? ! This is not the time to be like this. We have to get out of here quickly!”
As soon as the man realized that we were members of the Namgung family, he lost his temper again and started running rampant.
“Ha… ”
“We need to quickly find a place to hide… !”
Slap!
“… … !”
‘Wow. ‘It’s going to be super hot, right?’
When the man did not seem to be in a state to calmly explain, Namgoongmu, who held his shoulder with his left hand, gave him a hard slap on the cheek.
Namgoongmu grabbed his shoulder and asked in a firm voice.
“Come to your senses! If you are a warrior belonging to the Murim Alliance, please explain what is going on!”
The man who had been slapped seemed to have come to his senses.
However, it seemed like his energy was very low as he occasionally coughed and breathed hard.
‘is not it? ‘Is the reason you’re out of breath because I washed it with water?’
I asked the man who seemed to have calmed down a bit after receiving shock therapy.
“Whose blood was that?”
At those words, the group looked at the man’s body again.
“That’s right, there are no injuries! All the blood covering my body was someone else’s blood.”
“Somehow, I thought I could move well even after losing that much blood.”
“Sohyeop’s insight is very good.”
I noticed this when I saw that the man’s exposed skin showed no wounds other than small scratches, and that there were no new blood stains spreading to his clothes.
The only real wound was the torn lip from being slapped by Namgoongmu just now.
“… It was the blood of my comrades.”
The man who lowered his head for a moment after hearing the question finally opened his mouth.
Although I was still concerned about the anxious shaking eyes, it seemed like conversation was finally possible.
“Colleagues? Are you talking about a warrior from the same Murim League?”
“That’s right. I am a member of Yoo Young-dae of the Murim League… It’s called Gwacheolho.”
“Yoo Yeong-dae is in charge of collecting information on the Murim Alliance… ?”
“Correct.”
And the man who nodded, Gwa Cheol-ho, revealed something very shocking.
“We heard information that Suramun, one of the tribes of the Demonic Cult, had appeared in the central plains, and were dispatched to find out its size and purpose.”
“Magyo… !”
Everyone in the group was startled by the name of the vicious group that Gwa Cheol-ho suddenly mentioned.
“That’s why I was surprised to find out that you were from the Namgung family. The most likely purpose of Suramun, as presumed by the Murim Alliance, was to take revenge on the Namgung family for killing Tuma Yeonhumyeong, the previous lord of Suramun.”
“… … .”
I felt that all the eyes of my companions were on me.
If their purpose is the Namgung family who killed Tuma as the Murim Alliance guessed… The top priority target was Namgoong Minho, who directly cut off Tuma’s head, and I was clear.
Namgung Hwaran asked, frowning his eyebrows.
“No, then why didn’t you give us any warning until now?”
“Anhui, where the Magyo and Namgung families are located, is located on the opposite side of the central plain. It is close to impossible for Suramun to reach Anhui and attack the Nangong family. And the Murim Alliance also knew that the Namgung family had recently had an unfortunate event. That’s why I decided to spread a warning after finding out the facts.”
The Murim Alliance was considerate of the position of the Namgung family, which was a party house in its own way. If there were rumors that demons might invade, it was clear that the number of guests attending the wedding would decrease noticeably, no matter how low the probability was.
The act of conducting detailed research first before pouring cold water on someone else’s feast was certainly commendable.
What they didn’t expect was that we had traveled almost to Zhangjiajie in Hunan, bordering Sichuan.
‘Well, this is almost like we came to meet you, right?’
When I heard the situation, I was so dumbfounded that I burst into laughter.
