As the guards of the Righteous Alliance, formed in ranks and holding shields, advanced, Corpse Blood Valley Master Lee Ji-yeom, watching them, spoke in a low voice to Guard Go Chan, who was possessing the body of the deceased Wi So-yeon, the youngest disciple of the Lord of the Heaven and Earth Society.
“It was good that you raised our army’s morale, but it was a reckless act.”
“But…”
“Go back inside.”
Lee Ji-yeom pointed to a place where there was a large rock. Go Chan, who had been about to make an excuse, soon nodded and walked over. Then he slipped into a hole beside the rock.
At that, Lee Ji-yeom approached and pushed the large rock to the side, covering the hole.
Drrrrrk!
“Hoo.”
Lee Ji-yeom, after erasing the marks where the rock had been dragged with his foot, let out a sigh and shook his head. Having received Mok Gyeong-un’s order, he was the only one who knew the importance of Wi So-yeon’s existence.
That was why, to protect Wi So-yeon, he had brought her to the battlefield instead of the Heaven and Earth Society’s main headquarters, a reverse-thinking approach. The hole she had entered was one of the hidden ambush points and safe houses scattered throughout the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
