Chapter 198: The Tranquil Duel with the Sword Immortal
Baek Moo-jin’s intelligence network consisted of two main branches.
The Crimson Lotus and the Undercover Agents.
Bi Honglian was expanded by Seo Mun-geuk, while the Undercover Agents were the former Undercover Mages.
Originally, it was difficult for dark practitioners like the Dark Agents to remain near Baek Moo-jin. However, hiding in various places to gather intelligence for Baek Moo-jin was perfectly suited to them.
Their reports came in.
Nanhwang was advancing northward, and they were monitoring the situation.
The more Baek Moo-jin heard about the Southern Emperor, the more peculiar his feelings became. Listening to people talk, it was oddly fitting that Baek Moo-jin’s Snow Mountains and the Southern Emperor’s Golden Gate Island were the very ends of the realm known as the martial world.
Moreover, one was an isolated mountain covered in snow year-round.
Jinmundo was an isolated island surrounded by sea.
Both were utterly isolated places.
Their moves to establish their reign were also strikingly similar.
Nam Hwang knew from the start that to complete his own reign, he had to subdue Baek Moo-jin of the Northern Qi.
Amidst such grave circumstances, Baek Moo-jin was tending to household chores while holding his son—utterly infuriating.
Moreover, Jin Sohye was pregnant with their second child.
Baek Moo-jin found himself wishing Emperor Namhwang would just show up here. Honestly, Baek Moo-jin feared Jin Sohye more than Emperor Namhwang.
