Chapter 325. Good. Then How Shall I Deal With This?

 

 

The servants of the Han Family and Ice Family were able to enter the underground level of the hall through different routes under the guidance of Na Hong-ryeon and Ji Heon-wi.

The second underground floor.

There were three entrances in total, and even this place alone was incredibly spacious.

Thanks to this, there was room to spare even with all the servants staying there.

After leaving martial artists to protect them, Na Hong-ryeon and Ji Heon-wi descended even deeper below.

It was to report that the urgent evacuation had been completed for now.

“Sister. What happened?”

As soon as Na Hong-ryeon arrived, Han Seol-bing asked urgently.

Because of this, the informal address slipped out again.

“Young Lady. What do you mean?”

In a place where the Palace Lord was present.

Na Hong-ryeon did not forget her position as General Manager.

“Well, was there any trouble when Manager Na was leading the servants? There was a change in the formation in the direction Manager Na moved.”

At those words, Na Hong-ryeon’s face hardened.

Because there was something memorable that had happened.

Moreover, there had been a change in the formation.

“Because of that little brat…”

Just as Na Hong-ryeon’s complexion was about to darken.

“It was a good change.”

Seeing her complexion change, Han Seol-bing hastily added.

She realized that in her haste, she hadn’t explained properly.

“Ah…!”

Only then did Na Hong-ryeon let out a low exclamation.

And she explained about Im Jang-mu.

At those words, Han Seol-bing’s eyes widened greatly.

She almost dropped the Ice Dragon Cold Snow Rain.

Because she was so surprised.

“You’re saying a child around ten years old touched something? And no one else touched anything besides that?”

“At least that’s how it was from my perspective.”

Han Seol-bing’s senses examined Tak Pung-geon.

Thanks to the formation being partially restored earlier, the Life Path that had been progressing disappeared.

But he was soon finding another path.

However, perhaps thanks to that small restoration.

Han Seol-bing could interfere with their steps with even fiercer energy.

“Please bring that child here.”

A child whose name she didn’t even know.

Only Na Hong-ryeon knew that child’s face.

Her gaze turned to Bing Chwi-seol sitting behind her.

The Palace Lord also nodded and gave permission.

“Understood.”

Na Hong-ryeon hurriedly headed upward.

“That child’s actions caused a positive change in the formation?”

Bing Chwi-seol’s question.

“It’s more than that. Partially, at least. The weathered areas were restored.”

At Han Seol-bing’s words, Bing Chwi-seol’s jaw dropped.

Because it was an impossible thing.

While anxiously waiting for the child like this.

Han Seol-bing’s eyes widened greatly.

Thanks to the partial restoration, she could maintain her senses throughout the entire formation, albeit weakly.

Just now.

Someone had slowly passed through while brushing past the hole in the sky.

A familiar energy.

Then a smile appeared on her lips.

“He’s here!”

And an exclamation close to a cheer that burst out without her knowing.

At her sudden behavior, Bing Chwi-seol was surprised once again.

“What’s the matter?”

“He’s here. He’s here!”

Perhaps because she was too excited.

Han Seol-bing only repeated the words “he’s here.”

At her intense reaction, Bing Chwi-seol couldn’t help but think of one person.

Right now, there was only one person she was waiting for so desperately.

Ha Mu-baek!

There was no one else.

 

***

 

Ha Mu-baek stepped on the air and stopped.

He looked around at those who were watching him.

“I asked where Seol-bing is?”

Ha Mu-baek asked again.

However, the martial artists of the Storm Wind Unit who were closest to him couldn’t answer.

They too were looking for a woman named Seol-bing.

And.

The martial artists of the Ice Family and Han Family who had been attacking the Storm Wind Unit from the ground and lower floors of the hall.

Were simply tense at the appearance of a master of unknown identity.

He was a person they had never seen in Ice Heaven Palace.

Although he wore ordinary black martial uniform.

Right now.

At that sight of him performing Air Walking as if it were nothing.

Moreover, wasn’t he now stopped in midair?

A realm said to be much more difficult than Air Walking.

What if that person looking for Han Seol-bing was an enemy?

The thought alone was terrifying.

However, it was certain that the Tak Family had no such master.

Although Han Seol-bing and Na Hong-ryeon had said with confidence that reinforcements would come.

No one’s thoughts reached that far.

It couldn’t be helped, since they hadn’t revealed that an individual was coming.

They had said reinforcements.

Then people would normally think of a group.

They couldn’t think of the suddenly appeared supreme master as reinforcements.

“Hmm.”

Ha Mu-baek quietly observed them.

Deep underground beneath this hall.

Han Seol-bing was there.

His Ki Sense had already spread throughout this entire area.

Due to the influence of the formation, outside the formation felt somewhat hazy.

He turned his gaze toward the Bipung Corps, where Ha Mu-baek was looking up and down alternately, not knowing what to do.

“Are you Seol-bing’s enemies?”

They were people of the same Ice Heaven Palace.

Yet they were fighting like this.

A situation where allies and enemies were divided.

He needed to confirm the clear enemies.

He had already made the distinction through the Internal Energy he confirmed with his Infinite Bright Wheel Eye.

“Uh, uuh…”

The tremendous pressure that Ha Mu-baek was emanating before they knew it.

The Martial Artists of the Bipung Corps couldn’t answer properly under it.

Ha Mu-baek moved his steps again as if it didn’t matter.

In an instant, he dropped down into the middle of the Bipung Corps Martial Artists.

“At, attack!”

Though he was an unidentified person, the Bipung Corps Leader’s command came from feeling that he was definitely not an ally from his words.

The Bipung Corps Martial Artists who came to their senses at those words rushed toward Ha Mu-baek, but.

Thud! Thud thud thud thud! Thud!

With a light wave of his hand, he dropped them all below the hall.

From that single clash.

Small relief appeared on the faces of the Ice Family and Han Family Martial Artists.

Seeing that he was hostile to the Tak Family Martial Artists, at least the probability of him being an enemy was lowered.

Ha Mu-baek glanced around the hall, then immediately jumped down below.

Landing lightly on the ground, he acted as if there was nothing to see.

He opened the hall’s massive door and stepped inside.

“St, stop…”

They tried to come to their senses and stop Ha Mu-baek from his sudden action, but.

He had already disappeared inside and was walking down the stairs leading underground.

Step.

Step.

Ha Mu-baek confirmed the backs of a woman and child going down the stairs ahead of him.

Na Hong-ryeon was startled by the footsteps suddenly heard from behind and spun around.

“Who are you?”

She sent Im Jang-mu behind her and placed her hand on her sword hilt.

“You seem to be someone from Seol-bing’s family.”

Ha Mu-baek looked at Na Hong-ryeon and spoke calmly.

Na Hong-ryeon hesitated at Han Seol-bing’s name that suddenly came out.

“Seol-bing asked me to help, so I came.”

Indifferent words.

However.

At those words, Na Hong-ryeon opened her eyes wide.

The reinforcement called by sending a message.

The single reinforcement they had spoken of.

He had arrived.

“…Mon, mon, Monster?”

At Na Hong-ryeon’s sudden muttering, Im Jang-mu was startled and gripped her skirt tightly.

Ha Mu-baek chuckled.

It seemed Han Seol-bing had described him that way.

“I’m human though?”

Na Hong-ryeon snapped to attention at the response.

“Where’s the guarantee that you’re the person Young Lady mentioned?”

She didn’t completely lower her guard.

Then urgent footstep sounds were heard from above.

They were the Ice Family and Han Family Martial Artists who had lost Ha Mu-baek.

Since Ha Mu-baek had dealt with the Bipung Corps, the Martial Artists who gained breathing room came to their senses and chased after him.

However, since the path leading underground was forbidden in the palace, they seemed to hesitate above.

Eventually, footstep sounds coming back down were heard.

“Do you have enough leisure to worry about such things right now?”

Na Hong-ryeon flinched.

Hadn’t Han Seol-bing been urgently looking for this child named Im Jang-mu right now?

But she couldn’t just believe that person’s words and step aside either.

Coo coo coo coo.

Then the sound of a pigeon cooing was heard.

After delivering the message and returning, Baek-a, who had been staying near Han Seol-bing continuously perhaps due to the formation, flew through the passage.

Then it landed on Ha Mu-baek’s shoulder all too naturally.

Ha Mu-baek looked at Baek-a with an amused expression.

“You’re even perching on my shoulder. What’s the occasion?”

At Ha Mu-baek’s question, Baek-a turned its head away and wouldn’t even make eye contact.

However.

Just from Baek-a’s such behavior, Na Hong-ryeon gained belief in Ha Mu-baek’s identity.

Wasn’t it a spirit beast that had refused others’ touch before Han Seol-bing’s request?

“Young Lady is at the deepest part of this place with Palace Lord. Let’s go.”

It was urgent.

So the moment belief arose.

Her actions were without hesitation.

“This person came to help us at Young Lady Han Seol-bing’s request. So everyone return to your positions and block the Tak Family’s attack!”

Na Hong-ryeon’s voice echoing loudly through the passage.

The approaching footsteps from above seemed to stop, then soon grew distant.

They were going back up.

Na Hong-ryeon picked up Im Jang-mu and rushed down below.

Ha Mu-baek followed closely behind her.

If counted in floors, it would be about ten floors deep?

Upon reaching such a deep place.

A thick iron door appeared before their eyes.

Though it was closed, Ha Mu-baek could already sense the interior.

“Incredible.”

He muttered lowly.

Ten Thousand Year Ice Crystal.

Ice Heaven Palace’s treasure and the North Sea’s treasure.

He felt the tremendous energy it possessed.

Na Hong-ryeon opened the door and entered together with Ha Mu-baek.

“Welcome. Dan-ju. Thank you for coming like this.”

Han Seol-bing greeted them with a bright smile.

Her eyes were tinged red.

Just by seeing the situation directly with his eyes, Ha Mu-baek roughly guessed the circumstances.

Hand Blades gripped in both hands and driven into the ground.

Ice Crystal Energy was flowing from the woman behind her into Han Seol-bing, and that was again entering the ground through the Hand Blades.

‘So this was the secret of that tremendous formation.’

Now Ha Mu-baek’s eyes could see the movement of the massive formation’s qi energy.

“Welcome, Hero Ha. I am Bing Chwi-seol, the Palace Lord of Ice Heaven Palace. Please understand that I cannot greet you properly due to the current situation.”

Following that was Bing Chwi-seol’s greeting as she continued transferring qi energy to Han Seol-bing.

“It’s my first time meeting you, Palace Lord. I am Ha Mu-baek.”

Ha Mu-baek respectfully performed a cupped fist salute with proper etiquette.

Ha Mu-baek straightened his bowed waist and turned his gaze toward Han Seol-bing.

“This must be quite an ordeal. How many days has it been?”

“Five days.”

Han Seol-bing’s answer.

Ha Mu-baek nodded.

“You’re gradually reaching your limit. No matter how much you reduce intake and suppress it with internal energy.”

At those words, Han Seol-bing’s face turned slightly red.

The same was true for Bing Chwi-seol.

Because she understood what Ha Mu-baek was referring to.

“Those who were surrounding this formation technique and flying down from the sky are the enemies, right?”

At Ha Mu-baek’s question, Han Seol-bing nodded.

“I’ll take care of them.”

As if he were just taking something out of his pouch.

At Ha Mu-baek’s appearance of speaking so casually.

Na Hong-ryeon and Ji Heon-wi could only stare at him with blank faces.

On the other hand, Han Seol-bing only smiled slightly.

There was nothing to worry about now.

Because that monster had arrived.

Was it because her tension was released as she put down a heavy burden?

Was it because she felt relieved?

Han Seol-bing was startled by the sudden urge she felt in her lower abdomen.

She could barely suppress that feeling by concentrating her mind.

“More importantly, why did you call this child?”

Ha Mu-baek said, pointing to Im Jang-mu who had come with him.

“Ah!”

At the arrival of someone so welcome, Han Seol-bing had momentarily forgotten about Im Jang-mu.

“You saw something while coming here and arranged some stones?”

At the question directed at him, Im Jang-mu nodded.

“Yes. I could see a part where the light had dimmed. When I looked to see why, I found that one rock was broken into fragments. So I fitted some of those fragments together.”

At the answer that came back, Han Seol-bing’s eyes widened.

It was an impossible thing.

What would an eleven-year-old child know about formation techniques?

Nothing at all.

Yet he said it was just visible to him.

He said he saw it and fixed it a little.

How was she supposed to accept these words…

When Han Seol-bing thought back to all the effort she had poured into learning formation techniques.

Heaven was truly unfair.

“What an amazing kid. To say that the flow of the formation’s qi energy is just visible to him.”

Ha Mu-baek muttered as if finding it fascinating.

Ha Mu-baek could also see the overall flow of qi energy.

Because he had the Infinite Bright Wheel Eye.

However, if asked whether he could see the dimming of qi energy like that child and repair it?

It would be impossible.

That child was naturally gifted when it came to formation techniques.

Simply a child sent down from heaven.

If this child were thrown into that formation technique.

Perhaps he would see the life path on his own and break through?

“What will you do?”

Ha Mu-baek looked at Han Seol-bing and asked.

“About what?”

“From what I saw while coming… the formation technique seems incomplete. Will you fix that first? Or should I just take care of it?”

Ha Mu-baek judged that just from hearing Im Jang-mu’s story, this child could make the incomplete parts complete.

Han Seol-bing felt the same way, however.

He was only eleven years old.

There were definitely physical limitations.

“If it had been before Dan-ju arrived… I would have asked him to repair at least the urgent parts. But now it’s not urgent.”

Han Seol-bing smiled brightly.

“Good. Then how should I take care of them?”

Ha Mu-baek asked Han Seol-bing.
