Chapter 281: Four Kings Lotus – Part 1
Two days after leaving Suzhou.
Sun Woo-jin and his party finally arrived at Tae-ju, located in the center of Jiangsu Province.
This was precisely where the headquarters of the Four Kings Alliance was located.
Originally a relatively small city, Taeju became the headquarters of the Four Kings Alliance when Tongcheonbang, its predecessor, relocated its main base here.
Therefore, everyone living in Taeju belonged to the Four Kings Alliance.
This included not only those walking the streets, but also those running small shops, and even those selling goods at street stalls.
Thus, the group arriving at Taeju’s city gates now saw not soldiers, but what appeared to be elite Sawanryeon warriors guarding the entrance.
The warrior who appeared to be their leader, likely possessing at least eighty years of cultivation, approached and asked politely.
“What brings you to the Four Kings Lotus?”
At that question, Seonwoo Jin glanced sideways at Seolpung.
Up until now, Seonwoo Jin had clearly been the one leading the group as their guide.
But from this point on, he could not continue.
From now on, Seolpung should be the one leading the group.
Yet Seolpung, meeting Seonwoojin’s gaze, had remained silent since yesterday, lost in thought.
The others could also somewhat guess at his complicated inner thoughts, so they hadn’t spoken to him until now.
Even now, with all eyes focused on him, it was no different.
Seolpung remained silent.
Then, the group began to look at him with slightly anxious expressions.
