Chapter 47
“Uncle Wang, what should we do?”
We were trapped in the Heavenly Wheel Mechanism, unable to move forward or backward.
Thud!
Once again, the ground shook and the sky came crashing down.
“Huh?”
Uncle Wang quickly looked around in all directions.
Grrrrrrrr!
The walls and trees that had surrounded us began moving with strange sounds.
Like pressing the rewind button while watching a video, the twisted space quickly returned to its original position.
“It seems the General Commander has stepped in.”
Shortly after, everything returned to normal and people came running out of the Military Department building.
Among them was Cheon-gi Susa Jegal Mun-gi.
“Are you two alright?”
“We let Tam-rang escape!”
“I know. He must have activated the Heavenly Wheel Mechanism!”
We hadn’t made any report yet, but Jegal Mun-gi had already guessed what happened.
Well, on the very day they discovered there was a spy in the Military Department, the mechanism formation was activated.
It was a situation that naturally aroused suspicion.
“General Commander!”
“Un-pyo!”
Just then, the soldiers discovered the man killed by Tam-rang and cried out.
Woof! Woof woof!
Awoooo—
The dogs that had been hiding quietly in the corner finally emerged one by one, expressing their grief.
“Was this Tam-rang’s doing?”
“I’m sorry. There was no time to stop it.”
“So did you find out his identity?”
Jegal Mun-gi asked, deliberately turning his gaze away from the corpse.
“Please don’t be shocked.”
Uncle Wang had also heard that Tam-rang was the General Commander’s top disciple.
Perhaps sensing an ominous premonition from Uncle Wang’s hesitant expression, Jegal Mun-gi’s face stiffened.
“It’s someone called So-un.”
“…!”
Jegal Mun-gi squeezed his eyes shut. Judging by how his body swayed, the shock seemed considerable.
‘I knew this would happen.’
He had raised that person as his top disciple without knowing he was a spy for the Bloodsky Sect, so he must be experiencing mixed emotions.
It was fortunate that he didn’t collapse right here.
“Just in case, even now we could….”
“It’s too late.”
Jegal Mun-gi shook his head.
“So-un is… no, he would have already fled. He activated the Heavenly Wheel Mechanism and used the confusion to escape through secret passages. Just as I taught him. How could I make such a mistake….”
He trailed off and swallowed a groan of anguish.
Even Cheon-gi Susa probably never imagined such a thing would happen to him.
“Still, there might be traces left, so we’ll search!”
A soldier who had been listening to our conversation was about to give orders to his subordinates when—
“General Jegal! What is all this commotion!”
With a voice like a lion’s roar, Martial Arts Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang appeared.
‘Finally, he’s here.’
With all this chaos happening, I had been secretly waiting for when he would arrive.
At the Alliance Leader’s commanding presence, the entire Military Department was enveloped in suffocating silence.
“I will explain.”
It was Uncle Wang who stepped forward in place of Jegal Mun-gi.
“Who are you?”
“I am Wang Dang, in charge of the White Robe Group at Gaebang.”
“Ah, so it’s you.”
He said they had separately requested help from Gaebang, so indeed he recognized Uncle Wang immediately.
“I will explain as briefly and concisely as possible.”
Given the urgent situation, Uncle Wang reported on recent events, hitting only the key points.
“How could such a thing happen…!”
Throughout Uncle Wang’s report, Yeon Un-jang couldn’t help but sigh.
At the end, as if he truly couldn’t believe it, he looked back at General Commander Jegal Mun-gi.
Jegal Mun-gi bowed his head in self-reproach.
“This is my oversight. I should have conducted more detailed and thorough background investigations….”
“That’s not so.”
Yeon Un-jang placed his hand on Jegal Mun-gi’s shoulder.
“How could this be your oversight alone? When someone is determined to deceive, anyone can fall victim.”
That’s right.
The Bloodsky Sect’s meticulousness is truly astounding.
So don’t blame yourself too much, I consoled him inwardly.
“Alliance Leader, there must be more spies hiding in the Alliance. We must root them out as quickly as possible!”
Uncle Wang earnestly pleaded, still seeming frustrated about letting Tam-rang escape right before his eyes.
“We must. But what method can we use to find them right now?”
Just as Yeon Un-jang’s sigh deepened, I carefully interjected.
“We can identify them by their tattoos.”
I had been waiting for the right timing to introduce myself, so this worked out well.
“…And you are?”
“I pay my respects to Thunder God General Yeon Un-jang, Alliance Leader. I am Seolha, granddaughter of Cheon Su-dok-hwa. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.”
“She came to the Martial Arts Alliance pursuing Tam-rang using the Dang Family’s Soul-Chasing Fragrance technique.”
Uncle Wang hurriedly added, saying he had left out that part in his brief explanation.
How can you mention the most important thing only now?
I almost felt a bit hurt.
“If you’re Cheon Su-dok-hwa’s granddaughter, then you must be Cheon-sin Geom-hwa of Cheon-sin-mun?”
“Yes, that’s what I’m called.”
“Haha! Our Alliance owes a great debt to Cheon-sin-mun. I don’t know how to express our gratitude.”
“Not at all. I only did what needed to be done.”
“But what’s this about tattoos?”
“Ah, about that.”
Jegal Mun-gi, who had stepped back momentarily, revealed in detail about the Big Dipper constellation tattoo on Gong Ya-chi’s shoulder.
Of course, he added that this important information was discovered by me and Uncle Wang.
“If they have tattoos, that would certainly help in tracking down the spies.”
Yeon Un-jang nodded and commanded Jegal Mun-gi.
“General Commander, immediately mobilize the Shadow Unit to secretly capture the agents. Be careful that word doesn’t leak out.”
“Yes.”
When Jegal Mun-gi gave a signal, a soldier standing nearby quickly disappeared into the building.
“And I will declare a Heaven-level emergency throughout the Martial Arts Alliance! Immediately convene the Alliance Council and send standby orders to all Alliance members to be ready for deployment at any time!”
The atmosphere changed instantly at Yeon Un-jang’s command.
“Heaven-level activation!”
“Prepare the Alliance Leader’s command documents and send them to each pavilion!”
“This is not training but real combat! Move quickly!”
“First, raise the alarm!”
The gathered soldiers scattered like arrows, each rushing toward their assigned tasks.
The Martial Arts Alliance was turned upside down.
Naturally, all gates including the main gate and back gate were completely sealed, and security was greatly reinforced.
Urgent bell sounds rang continuously at regular intervals.
Black flags fluttered at every major pavilion in the headquarters.
It was a sign that the Martial Arts Alliance had entered emergency status.
With this, my plan to inform the Martial Arts Alliance about the existence of the Bloodsky Sect was a great success.
Coincidentally, the fact that Tam-rang was the chief disciple of General Commander Jegal Mun-gi played a major role.
If his position had been lower or mediocre, it probably wouldn’t have drawn this much attention.
‘I wonder what position Eok Mun is holding.’
I suddenly became curious about the true identity of Eok Mun, who had established himself at the headquarters, while also feeling worried.
There was a high probability that he too was positioned as a pillar of the Demonic Sect.
‘I need to catch him as quickly as possible.’
“Alliance Leader, Tam-rang is currently severely injured. He couldn’t have fled far, so we must quickly activate the Heavenly Net.”
Even amid the chaos in the Military Department, Uncle Wang’s mind was focused solely on catching Tam-rang.
Witnessing that bastard’s murder right before his eyes seemed to have triggered something in Uncle Wang.
“He studied under me for over ten years. He must have prepared a hideout nearby.”
“He would have hidden there to treat his internal injuries. General Commander Jegal, execute the Heavenly Net as soon as preparations are complete. We must catch that bastard!”
“Gaebang will help!”
Uncle Wang was the leader of the White Robe Group. He had the authority to mobilize nearby Gaebang members in emergencies.
If even the Wuhan branch joined in, the Heavenly Net would become even more solid.
“Miss Tak.”
“…Yes?”
Yeon Un-jang made a request to me as I was quietly listening to the conversation.
“I’m being shameless, but would you lend us a hand as well?”
Shameless, you say.
What are you talking about!
Actually, I want to catch Tam-rang even more than you do.
“Of course. I’ll gladly help!”
“Thank you.”
Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang smiled kindly at me, as if thinking of his grandson Yeon U-seong.
“Come visit me personally once this matter is over.”
I didn’t know what it was about, but he seemed to have something he wanted to say to me.
Surely it’s not another recruitment offer?
“Yes, I understand.”
I answered modestly and left the Military Department as if fleeing.
I suddenly became anxious that Master might find out about the Martial Arts Alliance trying to recruit me.
I had already committed enough sacrilege with Cheon Shin-mun alone.
I can’t do any more.
I must not lose dignity as the First Miss of the Demonic Sect.
I muttered words I couldn’t say to anyone else and left the Martial Arts Alliance.
