“Is it okay…”

Chaejin muttered worriedly while looking at the black sky.

One way or another, she had become very close to Hong Seong-moon, so it was not particularly strange for her to be worried.

But what can you do? From now on, there is nothing you can do except trust and leave it to us.

Most of the people who needed to evacuate had also evacuated, and as I glanced towards the deserted street, I noticed a girl with gray hair coming towards me.

It was Sayoon.

“Huh?”

Why is Sayoon coming this way?

While I was wondering, she went into the guest room and knocked on the door a moment later.

“Guest guest!”

“Come in.”

When the door suddenly opened, an armed Sayun walked in.

She sighed softly as she looked at me and Chaejin.

“Master told me to escort the guest.”

I smiled bitterly, and perhaps that was why Sayun just stared at me with an awkward expression.

It was as if he was worried that I would be told to go to the place where the Hongseong disciples went since there was no need to protect me.

But is that really necessary? If the Sword Master decides it is okay, he just follows that.

“Then let’s just stay here for now.”

According to my calculations, Dool will be able to block it without difficulty.

The problem is how powerful the Iron Blood Tree is.

If Hongryeon captures Dool while leading Hongseongmun, Geomseong, who has saved up as much strength as possible, will be able to capture the Iron Blood Wood Emperor.

And there were other parts that took some time, but… well, let’s skip that part for now.

I sat down on the chair and put the pipe in my mouth again.

“You can win, right?”

I laughed at Sayoon’s worried voice.

Do it here. Can you win? I knew that even if I said things like that, it wouldn’t give me psychological stability.

So all I can do is just smile.

As if my response was correct, Sayun smiled faintly at me and then crossed her legs. It seemed like it was meant to suppress anxiety and soothe one’s mind.

“Guest guest!”

The door suddenly opened and one Jeomsoy came in. He said with an urgent expression.

“There was an attack on the sponsor side, so the people who were there came to the guesthouse!!”

“Huh?”

I looked at Chaejin and she also tilted her head in confusion.

“Let’s go down first.”

I went downstairs with Chaejin and Sayoon.

In the closed room, there were the royal family’s guards and guards dressed in white and a girl in red.

Among them, some women dressed in white were panting and breathing heavily, possibly from injuries.

It’s surprising that even in this situation, she’s covering her face with cotton thread.

Among them, I spoke to Yuan, who was familiar and seemed to be fine.

“Raiders. Who are you?”

“Phew… I said it was a return calculation. I said I would take the young lady…”

It’s a return calculation.

It was a familiar name.

He appeared as one of the masters in Heavenly Moon and was a master of Jeongsajigan.

His skills… he was definitely at the level of the lord of Cheonhwa Palace.

Chaejin’s expression hardened at the name Gui Yeonsan. It’s probably because it’s a name she’s also heard of.

“Is it just the return calculation? What about the others?”

“Well, I don’t know. There were a few people who looked like subordinates…”

Right. I nodded, took the medicine I had brought with me, and headed towards the rebels.

“Let’s take a moment.”

“Haa… Haa… Haa…”

The women, who were breathing heavily, fell limp. After seeing that, I said to Yohwan and Sayun who were watching.

“First, apply some Geumchang medicine… and once you have recovered to some extent, have a fortune-telling breakfast.”

“Okay.”

Yohwan began treatment with the medicine I received.

ruler. Then who can fight here…

Is it just Yuan, Yang Ju-hee, and the Lady of the Red Family?

However, the girl from the enemy family just looks scared and trembling, so if we call her out on her best efforts…

Including Chaejin and Sayoon, there are only four of us.

“Hahaha!! Teacher Yu!! Are you there?!”

At that time, a harsh voice was heard from outside the guesthouse. I glanced at the window and headed towards it.

A man with a thick beard was holding a sword and looking in this direction.

Standing behind him were about ten warriors.

However, they didn’t seem to be okay, perhaps due to some injuries.

“I am a person who calls ghost killing as well as ghost production. I hope Mr. Yu knows my name.”

“There is no way you wouldn’t know the precious person who came from the valley of Ohwangsan Mountain.”

At my answer, his eyes widened as if he was surprised and then he chuckled.

“This is an honor. anyway. The person I serve said he would like to see you for a moment.”

“Are you a person called Iron Blood Emperor?”

He just grinned and didn’t respond. But I sighed because that smile itself was the answer.

“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy right now so it’s hard to go. Please come back later.”

“Hahaha. Don’t do that. The prestige of the sage Shinsan is so high in the world. When can we find time again?”

Although he was speaking calmly, his attitude was revealed that he would not tolerate rejection.

I glanced at the darkened sky.

If you wait a reasonable amount of time here, the battle will be over and he will come from there, and then there will be no problem.

Also, the martial people in charge of evacuation will come if they check on the commotion here…

In the end, all I have to do is waste time.

“Well, let’s say that. Why did you attack sponsorship?”

“Haha. I heard that the jewels of the Jeok family were so beautiful, so I went in to see their faces. There were some bad-tempered female cats. If you will obediently come with me, I will not bother to touch my enemy’s jewel.”

Gui Yeonsan shrugged his shoulders and said, but the expressions of his subordinates behind him were different.

Was it because of the attack on sponsorship? That distorted face was full of anger and lust.

It looked like he wanted to hit the guest cup right away.

“Take care of the facial expressions of the people behind you before speaking.”

“Hahaha… what can I do? It’s time to be very energetic. But since you keep talking there instead of coming out, are you saying you want the Murim Alliance to come?”

“If you know this, why are you asking?”

He’s as big as a bear, but he’s quick-witted.

He smiled leisurely and shook his head.

“My men are blocking the road, so if you want to take time, you’ll have to wait a while. And the proud Hong Seong-moon seems to be busy with outside work right now. now. Let’s stop.”

Crash. He grabbed his sword. Then, I swung it with great force, and when the black pottery on the sword was about to hit the guest cup, I put my energy into the talisman.

-Quaaang!!

The pottery hits the translucent membrane surrounding the guest cup and disappears. Looking at Gui Yeonsan’s surprised expression, I threw away the half-burned amulet and took out another amulet.

The Guardian, which was worth ten gold coins at the auction house, was burned, but it was not a waste.

Because I saw that person’s expression hardening.

“As expected, you are Shinsan Seonja. Did you predict it?”

“There are a lot of people targeting me in one way or another. ruler. Let’s keep trying.”

“Phew… good.”

-Cow!!

He steps forward and gathers his strength. As he began to gather strength, as if he was going to make a big attack, I saw the Avatar among the remaining talismans.

Should I use this?

Then I could send that guy away in one go…

I looked at the amulet and shook my head.

Even if you don’t save it, you can’t waste the opportunity by spending it on unnecessary things.

Let’s save it for now.

“Haaap!!”

He rushes in with a wild spirit. As the black energy on the main sword collided with the translucent membrane, the talismans began to burn one by one.

Geumja ten nyang, 20 nyang, 30 nyang.

He gritted his teeth in bewilderment as a hundred cat worth of amulets burned away in an instant.

“Damn it!!”

“Take care of your facial expressions.”

“…K…Okay. Let’s see how long I can stay there. Guys! Hit it!!”

Is it because they launched a big attack and lacked internal power? He shouts harshly and his men start running.

By the way, there are only a few copies left of the Guardians…

Chaejin must have read my expression and spoke to me in a low tone.

“How much is left?”

“There are two left.”

Actually, I wanted to get more Guardians, but this isn’t something you can buy with money.

It was so precious that it had the power to block Gui Yeonsan’s attack, so he even asked Cheon Il-hwa to participate in a proxy auction and barely scraped together this much.

I had no idea that an amulet would be used like this, as it is difficult to find even in the bright moon of heaven, so many people just keep it without using it.

“…I understand. Save that. Sayoon. You are up there with the guest. And there two.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Yes.”

“If you want to protect the enemy’s jewel.”

After speaking coldly, she took the Black Moon Sword and went outside.

“Follow me.”

***

Chaejin knew better that this was not a situation where he could laugh like usual.

I had heard of Gwi Yeonsan’s skills well.

Those who are blocked by the wall of superhumanity.

A person who does anything to overcome that wall.

In other words, he was an opponent who was a level higher than himself.

That kind of person is aiming for June.

That was while dealing with the Sanghyeuldan and Dool at Hongseongmun.

You really hit the gap.

Of course, that didn’t mean I had any intention of just handing over June.

Chaejin glanced at Sayun. The youngest of Hong Seong-moon and a friend of his younger sister, Chae-ryeon.

If she had the same skills she had when we first met, she wouldn’t have entrusted Yuwol to her.

But she was strong.

Even if it is not at the level of Hongryeon or Hongryeon, it is enough to be a strong enough warrior in the martial arts world.

Similar level to Chaeryeon, no. It can be considered a little stronger.

If so, let’s believe it.

Chaejin spoke to Yuan and Yang Joohee who followed her.

“Take charge of the strays of Gwi Yeonsan Mountain. I.”

Clutching the Black Moon Blade tightly, she glared at Gui Yeonsan, who was catching his breath.

“I will take that guy down.”

Now I couldn’t feel the pressure of having to overcome someone stronger than me.
