“What do you mean?
Zhang Mu-ryang had a distressed expression.
After discussing how to use the troops in the White Flower Room, what awaited him when he returned was the news that Oh Yuk-pyo had returned with serious injuries.
Zhang Mu-ryang left everything behind and headed to the residence of Oh Yuk-pyo.
Oh Yuk-pyo was lying on the bed with a white cloth wrapped around his one eye and both of his knees. Heo Ran-ju was sitting next to him.
“How did this happen?”
“We were unlucky. This bastard broke the colic.”
Heo Ran-ju talked about what happened with Pyo-wol. As he listened to her story, Zhang Mu-ryang’s expression gradually distorted.
“So, you mean that it came to this point because of his sodomy?”
“Yes!”
“This is ridiculous.”
Zhang Mu-ryang was at a loss for words for a moment. It’s so ridiculous that he could not even speak.
At the time before the full-scale war against the Qingcheng sect, Oh Yuk-pyo, one of the main forces, was now lying in bed almost dead.
It was a huge loss for the Black Cloud Mercenary Group, but it was more of a serious blow to Zhang Mu-ryang as an individual.
Along with Yang Woo-jeong, Go Dosa, and Hyeol Seung, Oh Yuk-pyo was his subordinate who best understood his strategy.
They were ready to jump into the hellfire without hesitation at Zhang Mu-ryang’s command. It’s not easy to have a subordinate so loyal.
“Pyo…wol!”
Zhang Mu-ryang thought of Pyo-wol as the most handsome man he knew.
Seeing that he was able to subdue Heo Ran-ju at once, he knew that he was a martial artist who had reached an unusually high level, but he didn’t know that he would be so great that he would turn even Oh Yuk-pyo into this state.
“At a time like this–”
Zhang Mu-ryang looked at Oh Yuk-pyo lying on the bed with contemptuous eyes.
What he valued the most was discipline.
The reason why the Black Cloud Mercenary Group was still able to survive was because they enforced strict discipline.
Especially in an important time like now, even a single person’s bouncing behavior was unacceptable. This is because if they make a mistake, they may miss the line.
“He’s a lucky guy.”
Zhang Mu-ryang wanted to immediately lead his entire troops and visit Pyo-wol. And he would pay a heavy price.
The only problem is that the Black Cloud Mercenary Group signed a mercenary contract with the Emei sect. If they take a lot of damage while fighting Pyo-wol, they will have a big problem in fulfilling the contract. If that happens, Zhang Mu-ryang’s long-cherished entry into Sichuan will be far away.
‘This wasn’t part of his calculations, did he?’
Zhang Mu-ryang immediately denied his thoughts.
Only insiders knew that the Black Cloud Mercenary Group had signed a contract with the Emei sect. Zhang Mu-ryang thought this accident was only a coincidence.
But of course, that doesn’t mean that they would just move on.
“Once the situation is sorted out to a certain extent, I’ll have to deal with him first.”
Most of all, it bothered him the most that this happened as soon as he stopped Maun and others from monitoring him. He knew from experience that he shouldn’t let such an afflicted man be alone.
Zhang Mu-ryang’s gaze turned to Heo Ran-ju.
“Did you go and look for him?”
“Maybe.”
“Your beauty doesn’t seem to work for him either.”
“He must be a little eunuch. He doesn’t budge even when he sees a beautiful woman like me in front of him.”
“Have you seen his eyes? They were more indifferent than ours who had been on the battlefield for many years. Do you think a man with such eyes would show affection to others? Give up!”
“I will. I can’t hurt my self-esteem anymore.”
“You thought well.”
“I will definitely pay him back for this shame.”
Heo Ran-ju’s voice blew out a chill. It is said that if a woman has a grudge, frost will fall even in May or June. Although she had nothing to do with Pyo-wol, she thought that she had been hurt because of him.
“That’s right. I’ll take care of things once everything has calmed down. Do you understand?”
“Okay.”
“Well, then.”
Zhang Mu-ryang got up from his seat.
This was enough.
It was disappointing that the Oh Yuk-pyo fell out of the battlefield, but the rest are still in good health, so it was worth trying.
“As soon as the cavalry move, we will join them, so be prepared.”

Cheongyeop looked at the man sitting on the other side of the table with a somber expression.
A middle-aged doctor who had an ordinary impression that can be seen anywhere, and was dressed in shabby clothes, was Oh San-kyung, the head of the Chengdu’s branch of Haomun.
Oh San-kyung was a native of Chengdu, so he knew the area’s internal affairs better than anyone else. Oh San-kyung opened her mouth carefully.
“So, are you saying this to tell me about the assassin that killed the young master of the Thunder Gates?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh! This is like finding a needle on a sandy beach.”
“Still, I think Haomun’s ability is enough to find out.”
At Cheongyeop’s words, Oh San-kyung’s expression twisted slightly.In fact, when Nam Ho-san died, Oh San-kyung also moved his people to find out the assassin.
The assassination of the young master of Thunder Gates in Chengdu was such a big event.
The problem was that no traces of the assassin were found.
Many disciples from Haomun also lived in the mansion near the Thunder Gates. When a stranger comes in, they observe and report them. However, there were no reports on that day.
In other words, no stranger visited that day or the people who lived in the mansion did not feel a sense of alienation.
Like Cheongyeop, Haomun also did not know anything.
“I want you to find an assassin who uses the martial arts of the Qingcheng sect.”
“This is a matter of security for Sichuan. The dispute in Sichuan Province may worsen if anything goes wrong. So before that happens, you must find the assassin.”
“It’s not that I don’t know that, but…”
“I’ll ask you bluntly. Have there been any suspicious or prominent people in Chengdu lately?”
“Well…”
“Any clue, no matter how small, is fine. That’s how desperate we are.”
Oh San-kyung was worried at Cheongyeop’s words.
“It is unknown whether it was related to the death of Nam Ho-san but a strange man has recently entered Chengdu.
“Strange?”
“I haven’t seen him in person, but it was said that he’s handsome enough to attract people. Women who have seen him even once seem to be possessed as if they won’t be able to snap back to their senses.”
“If it’s just that–”
“But he’s strong. Just before entering Chengdu, he had a conflict with the head of the Gujin Pyo-guk, and he turned all of them half-blind. One of them was even made completely blind.”
“Then…”
“His hands were said to be cruel beyond words. Sir Oh Won-ho, a well-known expert in Sichuan Province, also said that the guy broke his arm.”‘
“How come we weren’t made aware of such a cruel man?”
“Because he had recently entered Chengdu. And—”
“There’s more?”
