Chapter 83. Nine Lands Medicinal Flower (1/2)
Chapter 83. Nine Lands Medicinal Flower
At Jiulong, Sichuan, the area under the control of the Emei Sect, and the area that could be said to be the heart of the Alliance, the Heavenly Demon Church established its Sichuan branch.
This was an extremely shocking event.
The church had extended itself into Sichuan without shedding even a drop of blood.
Wasn’t this truly a perfect example of taking over a castle without shedding blood (無血入城)?
Many storytellers used this event to make fun of the Alliance, but even then, the Alliance didn’t do a single thing about any of this.
’This was expected.’
Cho Ryu Hyang looked down at a document in his hand at the centre of the Sichuan branch of the church, then closed his eyes.
The church had already expected that getting into Sichuan itself wouldn’t be that difficult.
’The problems begin now.’
Cho Ryu Hyang adjusted his glasses.
Although the Alliance didn’t do much when the church provoked them, it didn’t mean that they gave up.
Why would they stay quiet when the enemy was right in front of them?
They were just waiting quietly, since they didn’t have power.
The moment they are given a chance, the Alliance would take up their sword and attack.
The first day the church came into Sichuan.
Everyone was very alert and nervous, but nothing happened all the way till night.
Cho Ryu Hyang, who was sitting with his eyes closed for a bit, opened his eyes. He lifted his head, and looked in front.
“Did you find out?”
“Yes, lord heir.”
The Leader of the Mara’s Heavenly Wind Division.
Lim Hak Gyum faintly smiled towards Cho Ryu Hyang, who found him while he was hidden with ease, and read his report.
[There are no forces from the Alliance within the radius of about half a day’s worth of land.]
“Understood.”
It was as he expected.
The experts of the Alliance weren’t fools.
If they fought now, it was obvious who was going to lose.
There was no way they’d try to fight head-on.
“That’s good. It looks like we can work tomorrow according to the plan. Please tell this to the master of the Ruling Fire House as well.”
[Yes sir.]
With this, all the urgent matters at hand was over.
Cho Ryu Hyang smiled, and stood up.
Then, Lim Hak Gyum, who was prostrating before him, stood up with a confused face.
[Is there somewhere you need to go so late at night?]
Cho Ryu Hyang nodded, then looked out the window.
‘A full moon.’
A full moon was staring down at earth quietly.
What Cho Ryu Hyang was trying to confirm was easier to do at night than day.
“There’s no need to wait. This is a simple task that’ll probably take moments.”
Lim Hak Gyum thought for a bit.
Since the church came into Sichuan today, the area wasn’t very secure yet.
There could be danger lurking anywhere.
‘But……..’
Liim Hak Gyum, who had scouted out the entire area already, thought to himself with a serious face.
‘Since he has two harmonious experts with him, nothing critical should occur.’
Harmonious experts were actually very rare.
Right now, in the church, there were four harmonious experts, if you were to omit Gongson Chun Gi.
Ju Sang San, and Wu Gyuho.
The two guardians had already taken up a spot in the list of the 3 Sovereigns, 5 Emperors, and the 7 Kings.
And the two that were still unknown to the world were Un Hui, and No Jin Nyung.
The ones who would lead the next generation of the church.
‘This truly is the strongest military force the church ever had in history.’
Lim Hak Gyum’s blood boiled in excitement when he thought about the power the church currently had.
Just a single generation.
Was there ever a time the church had so much power in a single generation?
No. This had never happened before till now.
A harmonious expert.
Each of them had power enough to take over a single sect easily on their own.
Two of these experts were with Cho Ryu Hyang as a bodyguard.
Cho Ryu Hyang truly was guarded very well.
‘As expected, the Pope indeed is amazing.’
Lim Hak Gyum was assuming that Gongson Chun Gi was the one who put Un Hui and No Jin Nyung as Cho Ryu Hyang’s bodyguard.
“Then, I’ll be going out for a bit.”
Lim Hak Gyum came back to his senses.
The heir had already prepared, and was ready to go out.
[Please come back before morning.]
Cho Ryu Hyang nodded, and turned away.
Like he said before, he just had to ‘confirm’.
It wasn’t something that would take up much time.
‘What was that?’
He had managed to notice it in a passing moment. Did he really see it correctly?
And Zhuge Liang’s words were weighing in his mind quite a bit as well.
The fact that the man stopped talking after trying to say something bothered Cho Ryu Hyang.
Shf–
While he was thinking about Zhuge Liang, Un Hui revealed himself.
“Is it fine to not take that idiot with us?”
“We need to be as secretive as possible.”
What Cho Ryu Hyang saw was located in the mountain of the Emei Sect.
It was located within the area of the Emei Sect.
There was a need to move stealthily because of this.
‘Right. For now……..’
The situation would change sooner or later.
As the church set its foot in Sichuan, the matters in Sichuan would change in an instant.
Un Hui nodded.
“Understood. It would be better to not take that idiot, then.”
If they were to bring No Jin Nyung, they would become anything but stealthy.
“I’ll take you.”
Cho Ryu Hyang nodded.
Un Hui turned, and sat down with his back to Cho Ryu Hyang.
“Please, get on.”
Cho Ryu Hyang hesitated for a bit, then got on Un Hui’s back.
He knew he had too little power to even talk about humiliation that comes from doing this.
‘I should learn Qinggong in the future.’
When Cho Ryu Hyang was thinking this.
“Where would you like to go?”
Cho Ryu Hyang came back to his senses, and pointed at a single point located deep within the mountain of Emei.

Un Hui measured the distance for a second, and nodded.
“We’ll leave, then.”
Paan–!
With the sound of air rapidly moving back, Un Hui’s body turned into a single line.
Shuaa–!
Cho Ryu Hyang was extremely surprised at this immense speed.
The air was like a knife moving against his skin.
It was even faster than the carriage he was on.
It was hard to even breath.
‘As expected of a harmonious expert……..’
He really was amazed.
This truly was an amazing speed.
To think it was possible to move at such speeds.
Un Hui jumped, using a rock beneath him as support, and leapt even higher by jumping once more on a tree branch.
After that, he used the tree branches at the top to move even faster.
Sss–
The speed of a harmonious expert was even greater than Cho Ryu Hyang could imagine.
And seeing that Un Hui wasn’t breathing that hard either, it seemed that he wasn’t even that tired.
Cho Ryu Hyang bit his lips as he thought of something.
He had this kind of an expert as his enemy.
‘Yu Sul Bin…….’
The man was probably as strong as Un Hui.
‘Eighty…….’
The talent the man possessed was quite amazing.
After all, it was equivalent to Un Hui’s.
‘But that’s in.’
It didn’t matter how talented Yu Sul Bin was, or how strong he was.
Cho Ryu Hyang would have his revenge.
While Cho Ryu Hyang was thinking such things, Un Hui stopped on top of a single branch.
Shwaa–
