Chapter 366: Lion War (8)
“Wh-what is this…!”
Yongmasan’s eyes filled with horror.
It was only natural. The enemy had crawled all the way into Hao Gate at the Nine Dragons Outer Fortress, attempting to kill him.
And not just one, but five masters as skilled as himself.
Had the Nine Dragons Fortress not dispatched the Dark Poison Clan’s warriors to after the last agreement, he would have been sent straight to the next world without a fight.
Confirming the enemy’s intrusion, he released his subordinates to assess the situation.
And a moment later.
“Ugh…”
A groan escaped his lips.
It was because he had confirmed the attack on the Jeonryongdang.
The only silver lining was…
Fortunately, while Seolgeukdo bought us time, the hermits of Eunjarim descended and managed to resolve the situation.
Thanks to the efforts of Shin Baek, the winner of the previous tournament, Mujeon’s family is safe.
Upon closer inspection, it was a series of fortunate events.
If only Shinbaek hadn’t stayed at Jeonryongdang.
If Myohyang hadn’t kept emergency fireworks stocked in her room.
If the hermits of Eunjarim hadn’t noticed the emergency signal.
All of Mujeon’s wives would have been killed or abducted.
If that had happened, it was highly likely that his fiancée, Mae-ran, Myaohyang’s personal attendant, would not have survived either.
Yongmasan, who had barely caught his breath, sank into thought.
‘I completely missed it.’
The Hao Sect he led moved with every ounce of their strength, no, more than their full capacity.
