Chapter 119

Nangin’s ambush fails.
Of the eighty Nangmen, only sixty or so had returned, and many of the adepts of the Inquisition were nowhere to be seen.
“Mmm.”
Upon returning, the Inquisitors and the Nangans looked at the resting Bu Eunseol with disapproval.
It was the same for Moonlight.
“He’s not exactly a paychecker…… but I can’t blame him.
Just as he was about to vent his anger, a balding man with a large axe slung over his shoulder approached Buunsul with a grunt.
He was the leader of the Third Dynasty, the blood lord Zhao Tianshan.
“You like the ninja, don’t you?”
He spat at the rock Namgungun was leaning against, as if he were about to argue.
“So this is why you didn’t get paid. Who the fuck wants to watch?”
Zhao Tianshan said with reddened eyes.
“If you’ve been sold as a wench, shouldn’t you be joining the battle? Why are you lying here, sleeping on the floor!”
“What kind of bullshit is this, you’re guarding this place because that door guy Danju told you to?”
“Just because I told you to guard it. Are you guarding it like a puppy, when others are dying and getting worse?”
“What, puppy?”
Nangongyun scrambled to his feet and was about to speak when Black Mark grabbed his hands.
“Mr. Confucius. Be patient.”
“What are you putting up with? We died yesterday too…….”
Namgungun was about to shout, but he shut up.
The black mark’s expression was so dark and desperate.
“It’s because I lost a coworker and I’m in pain…….”
There’s camaraderie, even if you’re a bunch of paid romantics.
Mount Chocheon is a painful thing.
So much so that you can’t stand it if you don’t resent someone.
“Please. Mr. Confucius. Please bear with me.”
At Black Mark’s small whisper, Nangong Yun clamped his mouth shut.
“That’s it. Don’t talk.”
Nangong Yun’s temper clenched, and he turned his head away, turning away again.
At that time, Wen Guang stood in front of the men and said.
“You are to blame for the failure of this ambush.”
He shook his head, a pained expression on his face.
“The paddomoon had seen through our movements and intelligence. Even our ambushes.”
Raising his head, he swept his gaze over the Nangin and the Inquisitors and spoke again.
“The text says this raid is aborted. The order is to return. But I will once again fight them head-on.”
Then a holy man with a greatsword on his back stepped forward.
“I don’t think so, no matter how you slice it, that’s just asking for a long death, isn’t it?”
Then the man next to me said hoarsely.
“That’s right. There’s a weird set of rules around that hut, and unless you can break through them, you’re dead before you get in, let alone fight.”
The ambush failed, partly because of the sheer numbers of the soldiers, but also because of the way the hut was set up.
Wen Guang bit his lip and said.
“I’m going to top your pay. Double what you’ve been paid so far!”
But the faces of the lovers were cold.
You don’t want to die in a fight you can’t win, even if it’s a fight for money.
“True.”
At that moment, Bu Eun-sul, who had been listening to the story in silence, spoke up.
“We’ll lift the ban.”
“What?”
Wenguang’s eyes widened, and Buunsun pointed to the Southern Cloud.
“He’s an expert in decoding, and no matter what the rules are, he can unravel them.”
Nangongyun opened his mouth.
Since when do you consider yourself an expert on sea level rise?
Panicking, he threw out his hands, but Moonlight rushed over and grabbed Namgungun by the shoulders.
“Well, is that true?”
His eyes sparkled with eagerness and unspeakable anticipation.
“No I’m not…….”
Namgungwoon was about to shake his head, but Bu Eunseol replied confidently.
“Sure.”
“I see, and if you do, I’ll pay you three times as much.”
An overwhelmed Moonlight nodded vigorously, and Bu Eunseol shook her head.
“No thanks for the money.”
“No remuneration? Why?”
Instead of answering, Bu Eun-sul merely gave a faint smile.
Seeing that, Moonlight’s jaw dropped.
The smile looked like the laugh of the Grim Reaper, laughing in the long darkness.
“Alright, okay.”
Eventually, Wen Guang turned away with a sullen expression.
Ungasanjang.
It is an abandoned mountain hut in the deep forest of Sangyang Mountain.
It was also a natural fortress, as you had to walk through a dense bamboo forest and crawl up a narrow pathway to reach it.
Buunsul, Black Mark, and Namgungwoon were rapidly ascending the small slopes of the sheer slope with their lightning jutsu.
“This is going to be hard, it’s the only way to the hut.”
Finally, Namgungun nodded as he eyed the small path that led up to Unga’s hut through the great forest.
“It’s not even just a regular pendulum, it’s a pendulum with organs, like the ten pictures of the ceiling of the Temple of the Goddess. There’s probably a lot of mnemonics and stuff.”
Despite his reputation as a rascal, Namgungun has always received an excellent education and upbringing in Namgungsegae.
His training included not only the sword, but also poetry and artistic painting, as well as the art of Jin.
“That’s a recipe for at least a couple hundred players. There’s no way we could have done it with that many people.”
At Namgungwoon’s explanation, Buunseol blurted out.
“I don’t need a vacation.”
“Didn’t you just yell at Mr. Moon Kwang earlier that you were going to sunset?”
“What I’m saying is that you don’t have to be a true zen master to get into the hut.”
“What does that mean?”
Bu Eunseol said, glaring at Nangongyun.
“I just told you, that level of jinjutsu is clearly designed to wipe out large numbers of people.”
“That’s right.”
“Or, to put it another way, you failed because you took just the right number of people.”
“I don’t understand.”
Nangongyun shook his head, and Snow White’s eyes twinkled.
“What if there’s one person in there?”
“Well, it’s a recipe for killing a lot of enemies, so you can’t use up all the harmonies…… you have.”
Nangyun, with a hint of foreboding, quickly added.
“But that’s just an estimate, isn’t it?”
“We’ll see when one person gets in there first.”
“Haha, true. Who goes alone into the True Law that can wipe out hundreds of people?”
Bu Eunseol stared at Nangong Yun with her eyes without saying a word.
Sensing something ominous, he backed away slightly and smiled.
“When you say that one person, you don’t mean me, do you?”
Instead of answering, Bu Eun-sul spoke to Black Pyo.
“You wait here, and when the door to the hut opens, blow the signal, and the masters of Nangyin and Qin Tianmen, who are waiting below, will come.”
“I see.”
Eventually, the Nangyindae imposed conditions.
If Bu Eun-sul’s group can unlock the Jin Law and open the way to the hut, they’ll fight back.
“Brother Seol. Are you serious, you want me to go alone?”
“I thought you said you wanted to get some powerhouse experience.”
“Yeah, you’re right, I’m not saying I want to go to hell in a handbasket.”
Nangongyun shook his head in a cold sweat.
“If you want to kill yourself, there are plenty of easy ways…… to do it, so why bother with the difficult and complicated ones?”
When he still didn’t answer, Nangongyun’s eyes were unfocused.
“Brother Seol, do you know, the killer bees in Yin Shagok even sashay when they kill people, which is why they like to eat the flesh.”
“I see.”
“So I’m telling you…… I’m not going in.”
Bu Eunseol raised a brow as Nangongyun stepped back.
“I’m afraid.”
“Excuse me?”
“Are you afraid?” he asked.
-I’m afraid.
Those words were the magic words that triggered an attack of the taurus.
“Damn it, who said I’m afraid, that’s what they say!”
Nangong Yun bared his teeth as he drew his golden sword.
“You’ll see where I’m afraid or not!”
Then, without hesitation, like a wild boar in a forest fire, he plunged into the steep path leading up to Unga Hut.
Pow!
As soon as we entered Thoreau, dozens of steel needles rained down on us from both sides and from the sky.
Normally, Namgungwoon would have breezed through all the memorization to show off his sword skills.
He ducks and dives to escape the rote baptism by ducking and dodging.
Boom, boom, boom!
At that moment, trees and rocks rained down like a meteor shower overhead.
“What’s that?
The trees and boulders were faintly shadowed by the effects of the pendulum.
No matter how many times I looked up, I couldn’t tell which was real and which was not.
“Profit!”
Nangongyun rushed forward, slashing at the falling things with his golden sword.
But the blade was too thin and slender to cut through wood, much less large rocks.
“Damn, if they came in hordes, they’ll be wiped out.”
There’s no way to avoid a large group of people on this narrow path.
However, Namgungun came in alone, so he was able to cut down the falling trees and dodge the rocks.
But as the influence of the pendulum grew stronger, the shapes of the trees and rocks began to blend into the shadows.
“What is this?”
You’re moving forward, but at a slower pace than usual.
Upon closer inspection, the ground has turned into a sticky glue and is moving backwards.
“Isn’t this the level of the Divine Palace?
It is impossible for a single sect to set up such a supreme path.
The Padawan is also a group of sword-wielders, but none of them have achieved this progression. There must be another helper.
“This doesn’t feel right.
Staring at the endless trees and rocks, he unfolded the Divine Law again and began to climb.
“Hmmm.”
His tongue was down to the bottom of his chin, but Namgungun couldn’t stop drinking.
The moment you stop walking due to the effects of tremors, you’ll be traveling behind another rock fall.
Pow!
Then a gourd popped, and a puff of smoke came out of thin air.
“Are you on acid again?”
Namgungun gritted his teeth as he remembered falling into the royal trap in the Buljingshan Gorge.
“Fooled once, fooled twice!”
As he unleashed the Lunar Rainbow Sword, the powder began to swirl and rise into the air.
This was the moment when the powerhouse experience came into play.
“How’s that!”
Namgungun’s expression froze as he looked up at the sky and smiled.
Isn’t there a giant, earth-shattering hunk of iron coming down from overhead this time?
“Hey, what’s that?”
It’s a giant hunk of iron that looks like it could stretch a yard back and forth. No matter how fast I ran, there was no way I could avoid it.
Boom!
Then, with a ground-shaking vibration, a large piece of paper landed next to him.
Now we realize that what fell from the sky was not a giant iron, but a bell large enough to trap a man.
“Paddomun has done a lot of preparation.”
“Cuneiform.”
Nangongyun wiped his chest in surprise at the snow that had suddenly followed him.
“When did you arrive?”
“You drilled it right.”
Looking around at all the traps popping up, Buunsul nodded.
There was no more rote memorization, and the effects of progression were gone.
We finally made it through the cobwebs and arrived at the door of Unga Hut.
Kiiii.
Despair flashed in Namgungun’s eyes as he pushed open the gate and looked inside Unga Mountain Lodge.
“What the hell is this…….”
The buildings inside Unga Hut were completely empty, and the forest was once again open.
And every inch of the forest was filled with the rich flesh of the lurking beasts.
In the end, the hut was shaped like a hut, but inside it was no different from the forest.
