Chapter 174: A Bad Time
Putak had been hiding in the refuge for six months, as per Old Man Seok’s last wishes.
When the six months passed, he emerged from the hideout and brought his younger brothers to the Thirteenth Division Fortress, where Seon Woo-jin was absent.
Seolpung welcomed him warmly.
He had treated him hospitably and even prepared a dwelling for him and his younger siblings to live in, north of the Thirteenth Division Fortresses.
Seon Woo-jin felt as though all these events were somehow destined.
He had risked his life to help Putak, who might have been a Blood Demon Sect lackey, because he believed that to storm the Blood Demon Sect someday, he would need a guide familiar with the geography of Yunnan’s jungles.
And now, it seemed, that time had come.
At Seon Woo-jin’s question, the innocent-looking young Myo-in tribe man, who had been attending the meeting with the Seven Jo faction without understanding a thing, answered in shock.
“Eh, Aenoesan?! But there are too many traps! It’s too dangerous!”
Seon Woo-jin smiled faintly at his protests and said.
“Yeah, of course there’d be plenty. I think those bastards are making mines over there. That’s why I’m going.”
“Ah, Cra-Cra-Cra-do!”
Aenoesan was the site of the ancient Battle of the Wuhuang Tomb.
Rumors spread that the Martial Emperor’s martial arts were dormant there, and it was that place where a horrific bloodbath erupted due to the greed of those who sought to claim it.
