“Master!”
In the midst of everyone’s silence, the cry of Yong Seol-ran resounded throughout the Daejeon.
Hwahak!
Instantly, an intense aura blew like a storm in Daejeon. Yong Seol-ran’s clothes were puffed up, and her dark hair rose towards the sky like seaweed.
Kwarr!
The area trembled as if it was about to collapse. Yong Seol-ran stared at the situation with anger-filled eyes.
At the sight of Yong Seol-ran getting angry for the first time, the disciples of the Emei sect were astonished. The strong pressure coming from Yong Seol-ran was not far behind in power with the Abbess of Nine Calamities.
‘Oh my God!’
‘Seol-ran already has reached this level?’
The Emei sect’s great disciples could not help but be astonished. It was known early on that Yong Seol-ran had great talent. However, they didn’t expect her to have reached this level because she was usually quiet and didn’t show her prowess.
A smile crept on the corner of Guhwasata’s lips.
“Seol-ran!”
“There was no need to do that. She didn’t do it on purpose—”
Yong Seol-ran’s rage exploded.
Seolha’s death made her reveal her growth she had been working so hard to hide. Yong Seol-ran could not tolerate the behavior of Guhwasata, who only thought of people as tools.
Even when Guhwasata saw Yong Seol-ran opposing herself, Guhwasata didn’t stop smiling. Because it was the look she had always wanted for Yong Seol-ran to have.
Yong Seol-ran has always concealed itself. One reason was because of the influence of Jeonghwa, who always kept her in check.
But above all, she did not want to be taken advantage of by Guhwasata.
If she thoroughly humbled herself and stayed hidden, Guhwasata could not make use of her. However this time, since she could not hold back her anger and showed off her skills, this gives Guhwasata enough reason to make sure of her.
Yong Seol-ran knew that too. But this time, she couldn’t stand it.
“No matter how wrong she is, you can’t kill her like this.”
“If you have committed a mortal sin, you must die.”
“Master!”
“Seol-ran, you should also know that once you start making exceptions once or twice, there won’t be an end to it. You won’t understand what I’m saying now. But someday, when you rise to the top, you’ll understand why I did what I did today. So stop rebelling and go back to your seat.”
“Master!”
“Come on!”
Yong Seol-ran bit her lip at the voice of Guhwasata, which sounded like a crow howling.
Now she definitely understood. No matter what she said, the old woman in front of her would never listen.
Each person is different, but her master had a particularly harsh standard of looking at people. There was no mercy for those who did not meet the standards of the Abbess of Nine Calamities.
The same was the case with Seolha, the young mistress of the White Flower Room.
Guhwasata used this situation to intimidate the disciples of the Emei sect and the White Flower Room. Knowing that there are many people who have been used and abandoned like Seolha, Yong Seol-ran drew the line between her and Guhwasata.
If Woo Gunsang had not been killed by Pyo-wol seven years ago, she too would have been reduced to a mere tool to be used. Yong Seol-ran clenched her teeth and returned to her seat.
Guhwasata smiled with satisfaction. But that was only for a moment before she looked at the disciples with cold eyes and said,
“First, get rid of this bitch’s body.”
Where she pointed, Seolha’s body was spread out.
“Heuc!”
“Young mistress!”
The disciples in the White Flower Room moved the body of Seolha, swallowing their tears. A bewildered expression appeared on the faces of the disciples of the White Flower Room, who suddenly lost their sect leader and young mistress.
Guhwasata told them.
“Anyway, the White Flower Room is a branch from the same root as the Emei sect. I’ll lead you guys back.”
No one dared to defy the orders of Guhwasata. They were afraid that they would end up in the same situation.
Zhang Mu-ryang’s eyes deepened.
‘There is no other fox with nine tails.’
Guhwasata took over the atmosphere of the hall in an instant. Even if it had not been revealed that Seolha had done anything wrong, Guhwasata would have killed her by coming up with any excuse. It is only then that the White Flower Room can be completely subjugated.
It might have looked like she had accidentally killed Seolha in an emotional outburst, but there was a meticulous calculation behind it.
‘This is going to be harder than I thought.’
The outstanding appearance of Guhwasata made it more difficult. Guhwasata was in no way weak. Along with the Qingcheng sect’s Mu Jeong-jin, Guhwasata could be said to be the strongest in Sichuan. Guhwasata was the most difficult opponent that Zhang Mu-ryang had ever met.
At that time, Guhwasata spoke to Zhang Mu-ryang.
“Captain Zhang.”
“Yes!”
“You have to move.”
“What?”
“I hope for the Black Cloud Mercenary Group to hunt Pyo-wol.”
“Are you saying we’re the only ones who’re going to catch the assassin?”
“Just because of that one assassin, the White Flower Room and the main sect suffered a lot of damage. In addition, the relationship between the Qingcheng sect was irreparably damaged.”
Guhwasata’s eyes were shining eerily. Her words continued.
“If we let him go wild like this, he’ll cause a lot of damage before we even fight against the Qingcheng sect, so we have to get rid of him before that. In a way, dealing and catching him was more urgent than the Qingcheng sect.”
“Hmm! Three hundred and fifty men of the Black Cloud Mercenary Group are moving to catch one assassin? It seems like a business that doesn’t fit the bill?”
“I’ll make sure the Black Cloud Mercenary Group is located near Chengdu, not outside of Sichuan.”
“……………”
“I’ll also stop any sect in Sichuan from daring to bet on other things. And I’ll also give you a new foreign trade right. How is it? Wouldn’t this be appropriate enough?
“Haha! There’s really no reason to refuse this. Could you write it down, please?”
“I’ll write it.”
Guhwasata happily answered.
There was a deep trough in Zhang Mu-ryang’s forehead. He found it strange that Guhwasata easily agreed to the terms and conditions.
Zhang Mu-ryang looked at Go Dosa. Go Dosa nodded. His gesture meant that they should accept the offer.
—This is a golden opportunity to lay our foundation in Sichuan. If we miss it, an opportunity like this will never come again.
It was an urgent time so Go Dosa sent him a message.
Zhang Mu-ryang made his decision.
“Okay. Pyo-wol. We’ll definitely capture him. So you’ll have to keep your promise.”
“I promise under the honor of the sect leader of the Emei sect. Bring me the head of Pyo-wol.”
“Alright.”
