Alliances (1)

 

Even if Gu Yang was defeated, it was not easy to fend off the surprise attack that came while he was doing his best to stop Jin Yanghui's Plutocracy.

"The Little Cult Master!!"

"Oh no!!"

The Red Tiger Members, who were preoccupied with Gu Yang's and Jin Yanghui's secret dances, hurriedly flung away, but the Sun Palace archers who had launched a surprise attack were one step faster.

Gu Yang had no choice but to risk internal injuries and forcibly twisted his sword to fend off the ambush.

A shadow had appeared in his way.

Bang!!

Immediately after the loud roar erupted.

“!?”

Confusion lingers in the eyes of the Sun Palace archers who are blocked from attacking in vain.

That's right, the opponent was taking the attack with his bare body.

And while the Sun Zodiac was bewildered. The Red Tiger Corps, which had moved a little late, was at hand.

"Kill!"

"How dare you aim at the Little Cult Master!"

The moment when the Red Tiger Corps, distracted by the surprise attack of the Sun Palace, attacked with their weapons at hand.

Visor!

Three figures appeared in reverse, fending off the Red Tiger attack.

"How dare you do this in front of us!!"

It wasn't the cry of the Red Tiger who had been blocked from attacking.

A roar with the same flesh as that of a predator.

In the place where the sound came from, the Beast Archer was emitting a wild wave of air, expressing his anger with his whole body.

The chaotic air waves that spewed out of his hair made his hair look like that of a lion.

"Sun Palace! You will have to pay the price for deceiving the main palace!"

His cry had an aura that could be described as a counter-divergence.

And as if in response to the fury of the Beast Archer, the warriors and beasts of the Beast Palace were about to pounce on each other.

"Stop!!"

The man who first prevented the Sun Palace's ambush from happening· Mujin's shout erupted.

Mujin's cry had the same energy as the Beast Archer's, and he was able to calm the heated atmosphere for a moment.

But that wasn't enough to settle the situation.

Mu Jin hurriedly looked at Gu Yang, and he also nodded and spoke to the Red Tiger Members.

"Take away your weapons."

"But the Little Cult Master...

"Come on!!"

The Sun Palace had intervened in a fair confrontation. Even with a cowardly slap in the face.

However, Gu Yang, who was about to become the victim of the ambush, was a cold-hearted man, and he understood why Mu Jin wanted to stop the Beast Palace and the Red Tiger Corps.

And when Gu Yang gave the order in a stern tone, the Red Guards had no choice but to withdraw their weapons.

Gu Yang, who had calmed down the Red Tiger Guards first, spoke to the Beast Palace Master in Mandarin.

"Beast archer, stop calming down..."

"You are the one who has been attacked, and this is not just your problem! You have unleashed a cowardly shenanigans on you, our guest, and this is tantamount to contempt for us!"

Shaking his head at the Beast Palace Master's answer, Gu Yang pointed in the direction of the Sun Palace and said:

"Look at their reaction. They do not understand the present situation. It wasn't plotted by the Sun Palace!"

"Humph! Maybe it's acting!"

"Do you do that for acting?"

Saying that, where Gu Yang pointed to was Jin Yanghui, who had been fighting with Gu Yang Tile a while ago.

His face turned white, and he closed his eyes and cleared his breath.

"Cool..."

Jin Yanghui let out a cough full of red blood before opening his eyes and saying:

“··· I'm sorry..."

Jin Yanghui was a little while ago. The moment the Sun Signs launched a surprise attack, he hurriedly tried to retrieve the energy of the Annihilation Emperor.

However, the Ming Wang Super Fever was a martial art that even Jin Yanghui himself could not freely handle, so he suffered internal injuries in the process.

In the first place, if the surprise attack on Gu Yang was a promised operation, then there was no need for Jin Yang Hui to retrieve the attack at the end.

He didn't have to risk internal injuries for this.

"I know it was not your intention. It seems that my internal injuries have not healed yet, so I would like you to finish your luck ceremony."

Even though he was about to die because of himself, Gu Yanghui's bold reaction made Jin Yanghui look overwhelmed.

At such a young age, he surpassed himself in martial arts skills, and he was able to hold people.

"If it was really that young man, I might be able to purify the school."

There was a hindrance in the middle, but it was Jin Yanghui who realized that further testing was pointless.

Impressed by Gu Yang's bowl, Jin Yanghui sat down on the floor and took a bite to eat.

In a bloody atmosphere where it would not be strange if a battle broke out at any time.

It also meant that he had come to trust Gu Yang Tile.

The belief that this guy will somehow solve this situation.

However, the Beast Archer, whose eyes had already turned, didn't care about such a situation.

"Even if he didn't know!! The Sun Palace's cultivation is not going away!"

"Why don't we just find out now whether it's a Sun Palace's handiwork or not?"

"Humph! Put them in the maw of Mankr, and they will confess like despicable cowards!"

At the words of the Beast Archer, Mankr, who was next to him, glared at the Sun Palace archers who had launched the surprise attack.

As if glaring at its prey.

Then· The Sun Palace Lord, who had been watching the whole situation until now, stepped forward.

"Beast Archer· The interrogation of the authors will be conducted in our Sun Palace."

The Sun Palace's face was red-hot as he said this, and the veins on his forehead were bulging out as if they were about to burst.

It was obvious to everyone that he was forcibly holding back his anger.

"Humph! What do you trust with those of you who have done this?"

“··· If you ignore our Sun Palace any longer, the main throne won't put up with it anymore."

The Sun Palace Lord clenched his teeth and forced himself to answer with anger.

For a moment, the beast-like beast archer and the volcano-like sun archer glared at each other.

"Beast Archer· Why don't you follow the Sun Palace's words first?"

A figure who intervened in the midst of the rough air waves teased his mouth casually.

It was Mujin who stood between the two. Before I knew it, I had pointed out the bloodline of the first ambush and had caught between the two.

Mu Jin gave him a look, and Gu Yang immediately translated Mu Jin's words.

"If the outcome of their interrogation is unclear, then we and the Red Tiger will also wipe out the Sun Palace from the map of the South, along with the Beast Palace. So why don't you take a step back for now, looking at the faces of our friends in the Beast Palace?"

At Mu Jin's words, the Beast Archer turned his gaze to Mu Yul, one of the three people who were blocking the Red Tiger Gang.

He had no intention of lending the hand of the Red Tiger or Mujin in the fight against the Sun Palace.

However, when he saw his friend's face and asked him to take a step back, he was a beast archer who was worried about him.

"Phew· This matter will have to be properly explained! Sun Palace!"

The Beast Archer, who had softened his momentum a little, folded his arms and shouted, and the Sun Archer also softened his momentum and replied.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to take this lightly..."

Answering this, the Sun Palace Lord approached the archers who had attacked him without his instructions.

* * *

After the interrogation or torture of the Sun Palace, various facts were revealed.

The reason why the Kyurs of the Sun Palace launched a surprise attack was because of the instructions of the Wu Poison Gate.

From the beginning, it was not aimed at Gu Yang, but the goal was to somehow ruin this meeting and start a war between the Sun Palace and the Beast Palace.

And the reason they followed the instructions of the Misreading was because they were poisoned by the Misreading Gate.

Many years ago· Two archers caught in a trap dug by the Mistaken Gate were poisoned and forced to work as spies.

And over the past few years, the spies had been poisoning a few more in the process of following the instructions of the Mistaken Gate, and the number of spies had been increasing little by little.

The Sun Palace Owner, who had only belatedly learned about it through this incident, was dyed red as if it was about to burst.

“··· Fearing for your life, you want to plunge the palace into the abyss of war..."

Even though he had smashed the spies' heads, his anger had not subsided.

Still, as the leader of a faction, he was the Lord of the Sun Palace, thanking Mu Jin and his companions, even in the midst of his rage.

"Thank you. If you hadn't stepped up, there would have been a lot of blood in the South."

"It's just that the situation is not clear, so I have to step in..."

Mu Jin replied and turned his head to look at the group.

"But everyone has done enough for them now."

When Gu Yang and Jin Yang Hui started to dance. Mujin had sent a message to the group.

As much as the Beast Palace and the Sun Palace are aware of the meeting, anything can happen, so stay on your toes.

And just before Mu Jin could fend off the Sun Signs ambush, the three of them also fended off the Red Tiger Scouts' attack.

Perhaps if even one person had been killed or seriously wounded in that first engagement, the situation would not have been resolved so peacefully.

As such, it was a simple but quite effective solution.

But now that I've been able to stop their tricks, the situation has changed.

Mu Jin turned his head and looked at the Sun Palace Lord and the Beast Archer against.

"I wondered how that reckless archer was keeping the Beast Palace..."

I could tell from the momentum that the angry beast archer had just exuded.

The Beast Archer was leading the Beast Palace with his skills, not his brain.

If there was a problem, they had the ability to overcome it with their strength, so it seemed that the three major forces in the South were still maintaining a balance of power.

No wonder, the momentum exuded by the angry Beast Archer just before was nothing compared to the plum blossom sword ship he had faced earlier.

And it was the same with the Sun Archer, who was about to confront the Beast Archer.

"Now that it has been revealed that the misreading has been tricked... Shouldn't we arrest them?"

It was Mujin who was in the same boat with two masters who would have been called the Seven Kings if it had been the Middle Kingdom.

"Sniff! I'm going to take this opportunity to dry those despicable bastards out of the south!"

Knowing that all of this was a mistaken trick, the Beast Archer replied with a snort.

And the Lord of the Sun Palace also replied with a blood rod on his forehead.

"They've been making fun of us with our Sun Palace, and they're going to have to pay the price..."

"Hahaha! The southerner is talking to me today!"

"Shut up, savage· Every time you open your mouth, it's a misreading, it's a nabal, and I want to crush your face first."

"Uh-huh! If you're confident, go for it. Our Beast Palace neither avoids nor hides!"

If the two of them were left together like this, they would be allies, and it wouldn't be strange if they had a fight at any time, so Mujin hurriedly interrupted the conversation.

"Ahem· Calm down· For now, I think we should start by clearing up the misreadings."

"Do we need to think? Why don't we just go through the door right now?"

"After all, you're a savage who doesn't think..."

"What!"

"Come on! If we fight together anyway, we're going to fight each other, so why don't we do this?"

Mujin, who mediated between the two, drew a rough topography of the South Bay on the floor with his fingers.

Its shape resembled an inverted triangle. The north side is horizontally long, and the south side is longitudinal.

Mujin then put a kind of boundary on the terrain and wrote the name of each faction.

To the northwest is the Beast Palace, and to the northeast, which borders Yunnan Province in the Central Plains, is the Wudomun Gate.

Lastly, on the pointed southern side, the words Sun Palace were written.

"Anyway, I know that the archery camp is empty. So, first of all, the Beast Palace will return to the palace in the north, join the remaining warriors in the palace, and strike the Gate from west to east."

He drew a rough movement on the terrain as if he were drawing a wartime operation board.

"The Sun Palace will gather the remaining archers in the palace to the vicinity of this place. It is a misreading from the south to the north. Attacking from the west and south at the same time. Why don't you join us here at the main camp of the Odok Gate and finish it off?"

After Mu Jin's explanation, the Sun Palace Lord and the Beast Arch Master looked at each other for a while, and then they snorted and nodded.

"I'd rather be with that idiot barbarian..."

"Sniff· Who's going to do it?"

“····”

Judging by the atmosphere, it seemed that the alliance would not last long.

"Zz... That's right· What do you know? I just need to catch God, and that's it."

When he tried to stop the fight between the two middle-aged men, he felt like he was going to get angry.
