Chapter 333: 333

Three Mountains, southwestern side of Kangsoh Castle . This mountain was located near the Yangza River which ran through the middle of the mountain and split into two . With three peaks in the north and south side, that contributed to its name . And near the mountain, there was a large palace-like mansion . The size of the mansion would have the name of something that showed what it was, but it had no name .

Its outer wall was placed like a giant maze, with over 26 small and big buildings scattered over the entire premise . And in the middle of everything, there was the main building . Inside this building, there was an office with a middle-aged man with long hair and narrow eyes listening to a briefing . But he didn’t seem too happy to hear what was being told . After listening to it for a while, the man asked, “So, you are saying the centipede for Yi Baek exploded?”

“…Yes, sir . ”

“And you did not go down there to pick it up?”

The man said ‘it’ but the one who was reporting understood what it was . It was referring to the treasure that was left by their founder .

“No, sir . ”

The man answered and the middle-aged man banged on the desk with his fist . The fist wielded powerful energy that shattered the desk immediately . As the middle-aged man showed his discomfort for the first time, the man flinched and became afraid .

“Then you should’ve at least went down there and picked up the body!”

“I-I’m sorry, sir . ”

The middle-aged man was angry at the death of the man named Yi Baek . Of course, it was because this middle-aged man was the brother of the dead Yi Baek, Yi Wook .

“We sent agents who were nearby immediately to search, but we couldn’t find the Sword Master’s body . And we didn’t find any of his soldiers’ bodies either . ”

Yi Wook raised his eyebrows .

“What? The entire Sword Group squadron disappeared?”

It was a group of 150 elite warriors, with a superior master level leader . Their power was enough to make three or four clans extinct in just one night .

“Not all sir . There are 105 bodies missing, with 59 bodies that fell into the hands of the Blue Sky Brotherhood . ”

“Blue Sky Brotherhood? They did this?”

Yi Wook seemed unconvinced . When Yi Baek was ordered to so go down to the Sword Creek, he had investigated the forces residing within Sword Creek already . They found out that one of their officers was staying by the hidden mansion, but other than that, they only had 40 men .

“That’s impossible . That’s not enough to defeat our entire squadron . ”

“There were no other signs of any other forces from the Blue Sky Brotherhood making a move, sir . It seems someone else is involved in this . ”

“Aaaaaargh! Who dares to interrupt our work!”

They had eyes on every faction of the entire Jianghu very closely . Starting with the Forces of Evil, the Demonic Cult and Yulin Forces of Justice and its secret organization Blue Sky Brotherhood were all carefully kept on watch . But none of them made any movements .

“If we didn’t even get the book, then my brother just died in vain!”

Yi Wook was more furious that his brother had died without achieving anything . If he was able to find out who was behind this, he wanted to go and rip the culprit apart to kill him . That’s when the man who was reporting pulled something out from his back .

“…I know you must be furious, but please keep calm . ‘Blade Master’ told me to give it to you . ”

“What’s this?”

It was a scroll wrapped with red silk and golden dragon embroidery . Even the rope that tied the scroll was made of gold color .

“This is the letter you’ve been waiting for . ”

“Ah!”

Yi Wook quickly untied the rope and opened up the scroll and checked it out . It was a letter with beautiful writing, marked with a dignified looking seal at the end .

“So, the third step of the Grand Plan will now begin . ”

His eyes shook with excitement . He had been waiting for this time for so long . But it was also sad that his brother wasn’t here to walk the same path . After reading through the letter, Yi Wook frowned .

“Tonghu Bay? Isn’t this bottom of the place? Aren’t we doing it in that place?”

“I heard it’s not always there . ”

“…Well, I guess we don’t need to take such risk . It doesn’t matter . Whatever the location is, the plan is always the same . ”

Yi Wook clenched his fist . He had been hungry for blood to ease his anger anyway .

The northern outpost of the Demonic Cult at the Honam Region . An old woman was wailing and mourning while she hugged a baby tightly . She was the muscular old lady, Godly Doctor Gam Rosu . She had been crying so hard that her face was red and eyes were swollen . The baby in her arms was also crying heavily that the 2nd guesthouse was filled with noise .

In front of them, a man with an eyepatch stood . It was Fourth Elder Yang Danwa . Gam Rosu had been crying for over 20 minutes, with the baby crying and sometimes stopping before starting to cry again .

‘She must be really sad . ’

It was easy to see why Gam Rosu was crying so hard, as she was crying by the body of her granddaughter Gam Miyan . There was no way she would be okay to find her granddaughter, who she wanted to rescue so badly, return with a dead body .

‘Hmph . ’

Yang Danwa volunteered to do this, but it was frustrating nonetheless . He didn’t think the wailing and mourning would last for days . After wailing for a long time, Gam Rosu held the baby in her arms and caressed Gam Miyan’s cold face and mumbled .

“How dare… how dare they kill my granddaughter! I will never forgive them!”
