Chapter 104. An Obvious Trap

You can plant it inhere.

Understood.

There was something Cho Ryu Hyang immediately began to do whenhe arrived atSichuan.

Thatsomething was to plant trees everywhere inthe area.

Strangely enough, the trees thatCho Ryu Hyang had chosen were all different insize andshape.

No matter how busy he was, Cho Ryu Hyang always found some time to plant more trees.

Atthe time, not evenUn Hui andNo Jin Nyung knew what Cho Ryu Hyang was trying to do.

Butthey still silently helped their master, andtheir work was finally beginning to bear fruit.

Ju Ho Yu liked sweet things.

Eveninfront of the frightening Chuk Gye Gwang, he was unable to restrain his sweet tooth; however, right now, he was unable to touch the sweets thatwere infront of him.

Thatwas becausehe was indeep thought atthe moment.

The formation has not been activated yet?

The giant formation thatwas set up inthe Sichuan branch of the church.

He didnt know whomade such a thing, butone thing was forsure: the man whomade this formation was an expert.

Butthat wasnt the only thing thatmade Ju Ho Yu sosurprised.

This is amazing.

The formation wasnt evenactivated.

Evenso, the energy thatcame from it was extremely unusual.

Ju Ho Yu was able to feel the energy thatothers were unable to feel inan instant.

Aftercontinuously rubbing his nose, Ju Ho Yu closed his eyes.

The smell is just too strong.

This formation had an extremely strong smell.

A formation attained a unique smell based onits purpose.

A formation made to kill had a smell of blood about it andone thatwas made to capture people had an earthly smell about it.

Butthe formation here had a different smell from anything else.

What inthe world is this?

A formation he never knew existed.

Ju Ho Yu was stressed due to finding something he never saw before.

He slowly opened his eyes andexhaled.

He had remembered something thatsomeone told him a long time ago.

Nothing is impossible inthis world.

The only man inthe world whotried to create formations through calculations.

Andthe only man inthe world whotried to look atthe world mathematically.

Teacher Jo Gi Chun.

The man whoworked harder thananyone else inthe Imperial palace.

Thatmans advice floated up inJu Ho Yus mind multiple times, allowing him to become calm.

Jo Gi Chun, the man whono longer existed inthe world, had managed to calm Ju Ho Yu quite a bit through his advice.

Nothing is impossible, huh

It seemed thathe had been thinking thatthere wouldnt be any formation experts whowere better thanhe was.

Thinking thatsuch a person might exist actually made him quite comfortable.

Ju Ho Yu stretched his hand out to the snack infront of him andcalmed himself.

Keep calm.

His chaotic eyes immediately became calm again.

He had to wait.

Ifhe waited, the person would come.

The person whomade the formation.

Anda whilelater, the person appeared infront of him.

Youre making it too obvious thatyoure inlove with him, senior brother.

A small, dry whisper was passed by between two people.

Yeah? Thats good. Im doing it onpurpose. I think Im inlove. What should I do?

The heir to the North Sea Ice Palace, Juk Hyul Myung, looked right andgrinned.

The person whohe was looking atwas Gu Hui, the heir of the Nanman Beast Gate, whowas currently riding ona black ox.

Juk Hyul Myungs eyes burned with fighting spirit ashe looked atGu Hui.

Trying to fight here Are you crazy? Are you actually trying to get beat up by our teacher?

Juk Hyul Myung grinned fora bit, butafter hearing Ju Da Hyes words, his grin disappeared.

Hey, junior sister, your words are getting a little rough nowadays? Arent you being too harsh here?

Youre forcing me to be like this.

Juk Hyul Myung looked atJu Da Hye with an annoyed face.

Inthe past, he wouldve teased the girl, buthe couldnt really do thatnowbecauseof the mistake he made a whileback.

And.

Forsome reason, the girls pride was going through the roof nowadays.

It was almost too hard to handle.

Juk Hyul Myung swore thathe would take his revenge inthe near future, butat thatmoment, his eyes met Ju Da Hyes.

Then, the girl lifted her chin, making a what do you want? face athim, making Juk Hyul Myung awkwardly smile andturn away.

I swear, youre going to try to hit me inthe near future.

Tch, its not like youre actually going to get hit though.

Well, thatwould depend onthe situation.

Ju Da Hyes eyes sparkled whenshe heard this.

Her senior had never been hit by anyone sincehis birth.

Becausehis talent was sogreat, not eventheir master punished them.

This kind of a person just indirectly said thathe would allow himself to be hit.

Is this a chance?

Ju Da Hye began to look atthe world more positively.

However.

Puhehe, Id be screwed the day I actually get hit by you. Id actually have to give up my position asyour senior brother?

.

Anyway, Id have to fight thatlump of muscle onsome other day. The Church thing comes first.

.Right.

Juk Hyul Myung completely ignored Ju Da Hyes crestfallen face ashe moved onhis horse.

There werent many people whoactually came from the North Sea Ice Palace andthe Nanman Beast Gate.

The group was actually just under twenty people.

The people from the Alliance behind them, however, numbered more thantwo thousand.

Were just straight up asking to fight, huh.

Well, thatwas what they were going to end up doing, buthe still didnt like it.

Juk Hyul Myung disliked winning by numbers.

Just sending Gu Hui orhim wouldve been enough to assassinate the heir of the Demon Church.

Thatmight actually be easier actually.

But.

Just what is teacher thinking.

He would never have attended a fight like this ifit wasnt forhis teacher.

This was probably the same forGu Hui aswell.

The heir of the Church greatly let down Juk Hyul Myungs expectations.

A child whojust turned ten.

This made him feel quite disappointed.

He had been expecting a lot from the heir afterall.

But.

The fact thatthe great Gongson Chun Gi sent a little child to Sichuan made him feel a little confused; however, it didnt change how Juk Hyul Myung was going to cut off any weeds thatmight become dangerous inthe future.

Two harmonious experts, was it?

Having two harmonious experts asbodyguards showed how much importance Gongson Chun Gi put inhis heir.

Butthat was all.

UnlessGongson Chun Gi himself came, there was no way Juk Hyul Myung was going to move back.

I hope those experts are there right now.

AsJuk Hyul Myung thought this, a single man from the Alliance complained to himself.

How long do we have to follow them? This is getting annoying.

Be patient.

Im not used to such a thing. andwhy are they soarrogant?

The representative of the Alliance, Qing Song Ja, sighed to himself inside.

Is there anyone inthis world whos asarrogant asyou?

The man whohad been complaining.

Althoughthis man was far younger thanQing Song Ja, it was hard to treat him normally.

The disciple of the Dao King.

This man, Kang Sebin, was someone whothe great Lim Jaehak took inas a disciple inhis later years.

ButKang Sebins master wasnt what made Qing Song Ja act to respectfully.

The fact thatKang Sebin reached the Harmonious stage injust twenty years, evenwhen starting to learn ata late age, was what made Qing Song Ja act with great respect.

This man would surely lead the next generation of martial artists.

The man also happened to be a sworn rival of Yu Sul Bin.

The reason forthis was simple.

Swordsmen are all just fancy weaklings.

Due to the fact thatKang Sebin regularly uttered these words, he andYu Sul Bin always got into a fight whenmeeting each other.

So whydid I become the representative?

Qing Song Ja was feeling extremely stressed forbecoming the representative forthe Alliance.

He was afraid of what would happen later.

What would happen afterthis battle?

The Alliance should have a plan forthat.

He could only subdue his panicked heart by telling himself this.

Then, the person atthe very front suddenly stopped.

What is this?

AsKang Sebin frowned andsaid this, Qing Song Ja sent out his disciple to the front.

Whenthe disciple came back later, Chun Songja asked a question.

Whats going on?

Well. I think youd have to see foryourself.

Qing Song Ja frowned.

To him, representatives were people whocouldnt be moved thateasily.

Was thatwhat they told you?

No, butthey seemed to be quite concerned.

Concerned? About what?

He knew the Church was quite strong.

Butthis group was composed solely of experts.

There would rarely be a case wherethis group could actually become pressured.

Andthe experts from the Nanman Beast Gate andthe North Sea Ice Palace were extremely powerful aswell.

Sowhy were they hesitating?

Qing Song Jas disciple hesitated, then opened his mouth.

The doors are open.

What?

The doors to the Church are wide open, asifthey are inviting us in.

Huh? Asexpected of the Church. What pride..

To this disciple, it looks like the others are hesitating to go inbecauseof thatdoor.

Qing Song Jas eyes narrowed.

Tch, how cowardly.

They must be like this becausethey dont have enough experience.

Attimes like this, experienced people like him should step up.

WhenQing Song Ja walked up with a mindset like such, Kang Sebin silently followed behind him.

Whys this guy coming along?

Qing Song Ja was about to say something to the man, butdecided not to.

It wasnt like the man was going to listen to him, andhe needed someone to pressure the other side aswell.

Andonce Qing Song Ja walked to the front lines, he immediately approached Gu Hui andJuk Hyul Myung.

Why are you hesitating?

Juk Hyul Myung glanced atthe man, then turned back to Gu Hui.

He wouldnt know evenifwe tell him, right?

Probably

Damn it, how troublesome.

Qing Song Ja frowned whenhe realized the two were talking about him.

Butin this world, the strong ones had all the right to say whatever they wanted.

Due to this, he simply tried to stop himself from becoming angered.

Atthat moment, Kang Sebin, whowas next to Qing Song Ja, opened his mouth.

Are you guys hesitating becauseof that?

Only then did Gu Hui andJuk Hyul Myung turn towards them.

Hoh? I had thought thatthe Alliance only had idiots, butthat doesnt seem to be the case.

Dont put me onthe same level asthem, please.

Well, whatever. What do you think about all of this? Should we go in? Our side should be fine, butyour side would suffer from a lot of casualties.

I should be fine, butthe others wont be.

The three people began to talk amongst each other.

Qing Song Ja, whohad been completely ignored, turned red from anger.

What inthe world are you people talking about! Kang Sebin, please tell me whats going on!

Kang Sebin glanced atQing Song Ja, sighed, then opened his mouth.

Theres something dangerous infront of us.

Something dangerous?

Sowhat was it?

Gu Hui decided to answer this one.

Its a formation. A big one atthat.

Formation?

What the hell was this?

These people stopped the entire group, just becauseof a single formation?

You were hesitating just becauseof a mere formation? Just attack. Theres no need to hesitate over such petty things.

Gu Hui andJuk Hyul Myung smirked whenthey heard this.

Yeah? Well attack ifyou want, then.

Kang Sebin thought about stopping Qing Song Ja, butdecided against it.

He didnt want to waste his time either.

Juk Hyul Myung got off his horse with a grin andwalked forward.

Shall we go, then? I cant wait to find out what kind of a monster is inside.

He knew thatthere was danger inside.

It was extremely obvious.

Butthats what made things interesting.

Juk Hyul Myungs grin widened.
