Chapter 84
Toward where his hands moved, acupuncture needles poured forth.
It seemed like he was throwing needles into empty air.
Thunk-!
But there were beings that matched his aim.
“!!!”
“….”
Those who had been hiding with stealth revealed themselves.
Not only that. Since his needles had struck their pressure points, they were paralyzed and could only roll their eyes.
“Isn’t this prank going too far?”
“Hmm… How did you notice?”
Gyeom Gwang-ja answered Jung Myeong’s words.
“What can I do when they’re visible?”
“You have no intention of telling me.”
“Didn’t you also play a prank?”
“Tsk. I merely did what was natural as Black Point.”
“Since when have you been an information organization? Before handling information, you’re merchants, aren’t you?”
“Heh… We’re merchants who also handle information, so that’s just how it is.”
There was clearly surprise in Gyeom Gwang-ja’s eyes as he answered.
Attaching followers behind Yeo Eun-so.
It seemed he never thought Jung Myeong would notice even this.
‘Even considerable masters wouldn’t notice this.’
For him, it was a natural thought.
The ones whose pressure points were struck now were his limbs.
These limbs were trained as Black Point’s informants, cultivating only stealth techniques.
Not only were those who normally wouldn’t be caught now caught, but they were also subdued.
‘Indeed, his level rose in the Jusan Archipelago.’
This too was information.
Clear evidence that Jung Myeong had reached super peak level!
The problem was that from here on, even he couldn’t dare to carelessly interfere.
‘Tsk, even peak level was difficult.’
Even peak level required respect, but super peak level.
With this, even Gyeom Gwang-ja had no choice but to raise his treatment of him further.
“If it’s word games, it’s hard to accept more?”
“I won’t play around anymore. I apologize for this.”
“A debt?”
“Yes. Let’s settle it as a small debt. How about it?”
“Hmm….”
“I’ll even promise not to attach any more tails this time. Would that work?”
“If it’s that much, I’ll accept it.”
“Phew. There’s no easy way past this.”
“Whose fault would that be?”
“Tsk… Yes. I’ll say it’s my fault. So, I’ve prepared a place. Will you come?”
“I’ll follow.”
The prepared place. For something hastily prepared, sincerity could be seen.
‘Black Point’s safe house?’
Jung Myeong thoroughly memorized that location.
The formations too, and the traps.
Seeing this, Gyeom Gwang-ja suddenly spoke.
“This won’t be a safe house anymore.”
“Because I know about it?”
“Yes. So leave it be.”
“Then would it be alright if I bought it?”
“Heh… You can buy it?”
“It seems better than disposing of such a place as waste.”
“Do you need such a place? When you stay holed up like a hedgehog in that medical clinic.”
“It seems like I’ll need it.”
“Hooh….”
A surprised look.
Then he struck at the core.
“As a sect? Or as a faction?”
“!!!!”
Jung Myeong couldn’t help but be surprised hearing that.
‘How does this guy?’
* * *
‘This is a barely obtained opportunity.’
For Yeo Eun-so, Jung Myeong was a benefactor.
The treatment that came through an unexpected opportunity.
The connection that led all the way to Jeon Jin was no different from a fateful encounter.
Such a benefactor, Jung Myeong, had brought her an opportunity to act.
‘From here on, I need to do well.’
So she had to do well.
The goal she wanted to achieve by doing well was simple.
‘First, I need to bring Young Lady Ju to the medical clinic, then quickly find Sa Jeo and Sa Mae.’
According to the agreement.
The three who should have arrived in Hangzhou first.
Sa Jeo and Sa Mae.
She had to find them.
And bring them to Jung Myeong’s medical clinic.
The problem was why they weren’t here.
‘Something must have happened.’
She didn’t know the reason.
But one thing was certain.
She had to resolve that matter.
If that wasn’t possible, she at least had to leave some kind of insignia so they could find her.
Whoosh—
She increased her speed for that purpose.
“Are you okay?”
“For now, yes.”
“That’s a relief. You have learned martial arts.”
“Yes. I received direct instruction from my grandfather.”
“I’m going to increase the speed a bit more, will you be alright?”
“Yes!”
Fortunately, Ju In-hye following behind wasn’t a burden.
Unexpectedly, she followed well behind her.
And so they arrived at Jeongjin Medical Clinic.
“Have you arrived?”
There was someone who had come out first.
It was Song In and Gal Tae-gyeong.
While Gal Tae-gyeong kept shaking his head here and there with dissatisfaction as if something displeased him.
Song In immediately came out and welcomed the two.
‘How did they know to come out?’
She couldn’t help but express doubt about this.
She was curious about how they knew.
She had to know exactly. Since bringing Ju In-hye here itself could be a problem.
“How did you come out first? Did you hear something in advance? The physician shouldn’t have arrived yet.”
“Someone from Black Point came and told us. That the Young Lady would bring someone.”
“They did? That’s fast.”
“When it comes to speed, they’re incredible, aren’t they?”
“When it comes to speed… that’s right. I understand.”
The reason was sufficiently understandable.
Black Point had moved for them.
‘Perhaps the physician asked Blood Hand Dog in advance to move.’
She didn’t need to investigate the detailed reasons further.
For her, who was in a hurry, she would just use this situation.
“Young Lady Ju In-hye here is a patient the physician brought.”
“A patient, not a guest?”
“Yes. He told us to say she’s a patient for now.”
“I understand. Then from here, we will take care of Young Lady Ju.”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
The first goal of guiding her to the medical clinic.
‘Done.’
* * *
It was the moment she finished that.
Yeo Eun-so was about to leave immediately.
Someone grabbed her hand.
“Hmm? Young Lady Ju, do you have something to say? If it’s not urgent, maybe a little later…”
“It’s urgent.”
For some reason.
She grabbed her with a quite urgent expression, unlike before.
While Song In and Gal Tae-gyeong’s eyebrows twitched at her sudden action.
Ju In-hye approached Yeo Eun-so closely and whispered in her ear.
“One of the divine powers I possess is Divine Hearing.”
“Yes?”
“It means I hear what shouldn’t be heard, and understand it.”
She suddenly explained her divine power out of nowhere.
Why would she talk about the divine power she possessed in the middle of this busy situation?
It was the moment Yeo Eun-so was about to urgently question this.
“So I heard.”
“What?”
“At first I thought it was a mistake. But after coming to this medical clinic and identifying friend from foe, I understand. There are those who have been following us.”
“Hmm? The ones following us, the physician surely…”
“Did only Black Point follow us?”
“!!!!”
Ju In-hye delivered unexpected words.
‘There are those who have secretly followed us? Could it be…!’
If she hadn’t known from the beginning, it would be one thing.
But once you know, you tend to sense things.
Yeo Eun-so, whose heart had been racing, calmly surveyed her surroundings.
Swish—
She sensed the presence of those who seemed to be secretly hiding around her.
They were quite stealthy.
‘I was careless.’
If Ju In-hye hadn’t mentioned it, she might have missed them.
She expressed her gratitude for this.
“…Thank you.”
“I’m glad if it was helpful.”
Ju In-hye stepped back plainly as if she had done something natural.
Yeo Eun-so expressed her gratitude to her repeatedly and then hurriedly moved her feet.
Whoosh—!
Her speed increased as rapidly as her moving feet.
Swish—
Swish—
There were those who moved in surprise, as if trying to chase her.
* * *
Yeo Eun-so, who had launched herself, headed toward an open field.
She could clearly feel the confusion of those who had been following her.
They probably knew that hiding in such an open field would be difficult.
In the middle of the open field.
Going there, Yeo Eun-so stopped.
“Why don’t you reveal yourselves?”
“…”
“…”
Would they kindly comply with her request?
All those who had clearly followed her maintained their silence.
Instead of answering, they only gradually increased their distance.
In their own way, they probably intended to hide their presence from Yeo Eun-so by increasing the distance.
It wasn’t surprising.
Yeo Eun-so made her choice.
‘Rather than going with a tail attached, it’s better to end it here. I’ll confront them.’
A head-on collision!
Because she thought that even if it seemed roundabout, it was the fastest path.
She drew her sword and immediately shot forward in a straight line.
It was the direction where the one who had been chasing her from the front had been.
“!!!!”
Perhaps he hadn’t expected her to target him first.
The opponent panicked and his concealment was broken.
No questions asked.
Thus, to the one who had revealed himself, Yeo Eun-so said instead of asking questions.
“Let’s see the end.”
Swish—!
She swung the sword in her hand.
The sword, thoroughly infused with the power of the Golden Crown Jade Seal 24 Forms, pierced through the masked man.
Sensing that things had gone wrong.
Swish—
The masked men belatedly revealed themselves.
They realized that with their already discovered concealment, they couldn’t do anything to her.
The masked men who belatedly revealed themselves.
The leader raised his hand and pointed at her.
It was a signal. A signal to capture her.
“…”
The masked men who understood this launched themselves instead of answering.
As if it had been arranged beforehand, they began to surround her according to a certain pattern.
‘A formation?’
They seemed to intend to deploy a combined formation to subdue her.
It wasn’t a simple combined formation like the Three Talents Formation.
A powerful combined formation quickly unfolded, one that the previous her would have had no choice but to fall victim to.
Were they confident of victory with this?
Thud. Thump.
Those who had revealed themselves matched their steps and began to tighten the encirclement around her.
They probably intended to bind her within the combined formation and subdue her like this.
A situation where anyone could see she was in crisis!
As everyone rushed at her, her expression changed.
‘She’s smiling?’
It was a smile that no one had expected at all.
Whoosh—!
Then, violent swordsmanship sufficient to explain her smile unfolded toward everyone positioned in the combined formation!
