Many of the faces they had seen at the banquet were visible. It was clear that all the dead bodies in front of them were warriors from the Heavenly Silver Marketplace.
As if they had fought a fierce battle, their bodies were full of small and large wounds.
Wu Jang-rak frowned.
“What happened? Did Lady Mok Gahye and her escort defeat them all?”
Wu Jang-rak figured out the level of Mok Gahye and Shin Mugum when they traveled together.
With Mok Gahye’s skills, she could not defeat so many people. Of course, Shin Mugum was much stronger than her. However, they were not strong enough to deal with so many warriors at once.
Of course, he could have hidden his power. But even so, Wu Jang-rak did not think that Shin Mugum would be able to deal with these many warriors. If he were that capable, he wouldn’t have been so helpless against the Demon Chasing Team.
‘There’s a third party involved.’
There was no way that he would have killed all those who were desperate to escape and were the new martial arts swordsmen. He didn’t even have the martial arts skills to do that.
It was clear that someone intervened and killed the Heavenly Silver Marketplace’s warriors.
‘Who is it? The Bamboo Sea Clan?’
It was quite possible.
It was the Bamboo Sea Clan, who hired the Demon Chasing Team to prevent Gongbu from entering the Rain Mountain Manor.
They had enough reason to intervene after receiving information that Heavenly Silver Marketplace was pursuing Mok Gahye.
Wu Jang-rak approached Pyo-wol,
“This is getting annoying. It’s probably better to get out of here before we get swept away.”
Pyo-wol nodded his head without saying a word.
Wu Jang-rak turned to Ko Il-pae and said,
“Make sure we’re heading to a place with as little people as possible.”
“Alright.”
Ko Il-pae replied with a calm expression.
Even though he was a mercenary who lived with death near by his side, he didn’t feel like he had so many corpses written down.
If he can’t avoid it, of course you have to fight, but if you can avoid it, it is right to avoid it as much as possible.
Ko Il-pae exchanged glances with the mercenaries.
“Seonghwa! You take the lead.”
“Alright.”
Jin Seonghwa answered.
He was the guide that Ko Il-pae trusted the most. He was quick to judge the situation and was able to trust and rely on the terrain of the area.
As soon as he received Ko Il-pae’s order, Jin Seonghwa stepped forward and began to take the lead.
“Let’s go this way.”
The mercenaries followed him without saying a word. They know and believe in his abilities.
Jin Seonghwa ran at a fast pace.
He moved in search of as few people as possible. But his movements soon hit the wall.
“What?”
Jin Seonghwa, who was running at high speed, stopped and looked at Ko Il-pae.
A look of embarrassment was evident on Jin Seonghwa’s face. It was the same with Ko Il-pae.
Dozens of bodies were lying in front of their path.
He had worked hard to avoid the battlefield, so he had no choice but too look pale when he encountered corpses in their way again.
“Is it the Heavenly Silver Marketplace’s warriors again?”
Wu Jang-rak examined the bodies.
“These are not the Heavenly Silver Marketplace warriors.”
It was his conclusion after examining the bodies.
The clothes and weapons were different from those of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace .
“They seem to be warriors of the Bamboo Sea Clan.”
Only the Bamboo Sea Clan could mobilize warriors of this size in the nearby area.
Ko Il-pae’s expression hardened.
“This is really giving me a headache. If all the men of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace and Bamboo Sea Clan were mobilized, there would be a bloody wind.”
Until she escaped with Shin Mugum, Mok Gahye would not have expected such a situation to come.
After some time, she tracked down the Heavenly Silver Marketplace and Bamboo Sea Clan in turn. This is because the movement of the Bamboo Sea Clan is bound to be later than that of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace.
However, the movement of the Bamboo Sea Clan was faster than she expected, and as a result, she collided head-on with the Heavenly Silver Marketplace.
Just as the Heavenly Silver Marketplace recruited spies and grasped information inside the Bamboo Sea Clan, the Bamboo Sea clan was also monitoring the movements of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace.
The urgent movement of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace was caught by their surveillance network.
It was not difficult for Yeo Hwa-young to find out that Mok Gahye had escaped from the Heavenly Silver Marketplace.
It might have taken her a while to deliberate on the unexpected situation, but within a short time, Yeo Hwa-young moved her troops to secure Mok Gahye.
If they couldn’t get Mok Gahye, they had to at least get their hands on Gongbu. In this way, it was still possible for them to completely prevent the Rain Mountain Manor from intervening.
Once a decision was made, the action was quicker.
It was a much quicker response than Mok Gahye had expected.
Yeo Hwa-young dispatched the Bamboo Sea Clan warriors towards Mok Gahye’s escape route.
The Heavenly Silver Marketplace and the Bamboo Sea Clan’s warriors had no choice but to meet in the middle, and they clashed with all their might.
The clash between the two clans was bound to happen anyway, but it happened much earlier due to Mok Gahye’s escape.
The warriors of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace and the Bamboo Sea Clan were clashing all over the forest.
Mok Gahye did not expect that such a situation would occur due to her escape.
Chaeng! Chaeng!
The sound of weapon clashes could be heard everywhere.
The situation was becoming more serious than expected.
“Come on, let’s get out of here!”
Wu Jang-rak took his party.
* * *
There was a vast forest on the outskirts of Enshi.
The huge forest, which has densely packed trees that the sky could not be seen, was called the Dead Forest.1
Once a person gets lost in the middle of the forest, they can’t get out until they die.
Because of that, even the people who lived nearby did not go into the depths of Dead Forest.
The forest where Mok Gahye escaped was the Dead Forest.
A woman wearing cotton cloth was standing on a large tree overlooking the Dead Forest.
Whenever the wind blew, the branch on which the woman was standing on swayed and bent, but she didn’t even move.
The woman standing upright on the tree was Yeo Hwa-young.
It was she who led the way today.
As soon as she received the information that Mok Gahye and Shin Mugum had escaped, she moved the elites of the Bamboo Sea Clan.
‘As time goes by, the Heavenly Silver Marketplace will become harder to deal with. Now is the perfect opportunity.’
Knowing that if the Rain Mountain Manor intervened, the tilted weight could not be turned back twice, Yeo Hwa-young boldly moved.
About three hundred Bamboo Sea Clan elite warriors entered the Dead Forest.
They followed the traces left by Mok Gahye and Shin Mugum and entered the depths of Dead Forest.
There were reports of collision with the warriors Heavenly Silver Marketplace. But Yeo Hwa-young didn’t even blink.
