Chapter 238 Side Story 4. Goblin (4)

“The Song Dynasty’s forces have slaughtered the common people!”
Hearing this news, people weary of the suffering-filled chaos of the times threw themselves into the Blood Cult.
Even the gentle-natured Ki In-isa, renowned for his mild disposition, raised his spear for the cause of transformation.
