Book 2: Chapter 118: I know who you are (5)

B, Blood Demon, mother, fucking Son of a bitch-

Zhuge Mi Ryeo, who initially stuttered like that

After she heard about the Blood Cult related incidents Cale dealt with prior to getting to the Martial Arts Alliance

Those Blood Cult bastards deserve to be fucked up and killed!

Shouted her anger.

Cale flinched in response.

Ripping them into pieces is too considerate for the bastards!

And flinched again.

He blankly looked at Zhuge Mi Ryeo. The fan in her hand made a noise as it cracked in half.

I thought they said that the Chief Advisors martial arts level was low.

However, her grip strength was no joke.

She easily broke this fan that looked as if Cale would have trouble even bending, in half.

Young master-nim.

She then turned toward Cale. Her eyes were burning up. However, her voice was now calm. That was the reason Cale felt a bit scared.

Yes maam?

As Cale subconsciously and blankly asked back

You mentioned that the reason you came to the Martial Arts Alliance is because there is a living jiangshi here as well, did you not? Who is that living jiangshi?

Cale got even more scared at her extremely fierce tone and answered.

Honestly.

Without any hesitation.

It is Zhuge Eun So.

Clang.

The teacup in the Alliance leaders hand fell to the ground. He flinched before sticking a finger in his ear and cleaning it out.

I must be getting old now. My ears are not very good. Isn't that right?

He looked around and asked but nobody agreed with him.

Elder Ho and Ko Seh Bum made eye contact. The Alliance leader watched as Elder Ho immediately avoided his gaze.

The Alliance leader subconsciously turned toward Zhuge Mi Ryeo after seeing this response.

He could see the completely pale Chief Advisors face.

Oh no.

The Alliance leader gasped in shock.

The Martial Arts Alliance's top executives.

Although this might not make sense, the Alliance leader would choose the top executives as the most important part of the Martial Arts Alliance despite it being a martial arts organization.

All of the Martial Arts Alliance's small and large issues filtered through the top executives.

One of the Blood Cults living jiangshis existed in that group and it was Zhuge Eun So

Zhuge Eun So was secretly determined to be the future Chief Advisor.

This is a significant hit.

To the Martial Arts Alliance, the Alliance leader, and the top executives

Even to the Chief Advisor and the Zhuge Clan

This was a situation where he did not dare to say anything.

The Alliance leader closed his mouth.

Nobody dared to open their mouths.

Of course, Cale was just not saying anything because he was listening to Raon, who was watching the Embroidered Uniform Guard through the window, rattle on in his mind.

The Alliance leader looked at Cale and had a thought.

He is waiting for us.

He thought that there was only one reason as to why young master Kim would continue to be silent like this.

Even the Alliance leader was struggling to say something right now but one person managed to open their mouth.

No, that person had to be the first to say something.

They got us.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo

She calmly made a comment.

However, the Alliance leader let out a deep groan at the weight behind those words.

It was the same for Elder Ho.

How shameful.

The Blood Cult had struck the Martial Arts Alliance.

It was quite a large dagger at that.

Hmm?

Young master Kims voice reached the Alliance leader's ears at that moment.

They haven't done so yet?

He seemed quite confused.

This time, Zhuge Mi Ryeo blankly asked back.

"Excuse me?

Young master Kim spoke with a nonchalant look on his face as if her reaction was weird.

It's not like anything has happened yet so it is hard to say they got you.

Its not like the Great War of the Triumvirate has started.

Of course, there were a lot more trivial fights between the Triumvirate and the aura of war was dense in the air, but These kinds of things had happened even without the Blood Cult. It was fine as long as it didn't lead to the Great War of the Triumvirate.

As for the living jiangshi, we can just purify them. In fact, wouldn't we be able to benefit more now that we know the enemys cards?

Cale looked at Zhuge Mi Ryeo as if to ask what the issue might be.

I'm sure you had this thought as well, Chief Advisor?

Zhuge Mi Ryeo's tense hands released at that moment. She slowly let out a breath and closed her eyes. She then opened them back.

I see. Nothing big has happened yet.

Cale responded to her.

Of course, this is a big issue for the Zhuge Clan.

No, sir. It is not a big issue.

Cale was bringing up the Zhuge Clan's position and Zhuge Eun So but Zhuge Mi Ryeo just brushed past that part.

Ahem.

Young master Kim clearly said that he planned on finding all of the living jiangshis within the Triumvirate.

Basically, that we was talking about the Orthodox faction, Unorthodox faction, and the Demon Cult together.

Of course, young master Kim was included.

And young master Kim's plan is probably to have that we take down the Blood Cult.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo got chills on her body.

The living jiangshis. If they were the daggers the Blood Cult stashed away to take over the Martial Arts world The Martial Arts world will become a tool to move as he wishes for young master Kim.

The fact that there is a living jiangshi in their faction was enough for that faction to fight against the Blood Cult.

And if the living jiangshis are indeed the future leaders of each faction They would probably try to purify that person instead of killing them, even if it meant that person would not have their internal ki any longer. It would be even more likely if that person was a blood relative.

It is highly likely that everything will move with young master Kim at the center.

Just look at her, a perfect example. She had to do as young master Kim wishes for the Martial Arts Alliance and the Zhuge Clan.

How scary.

She noticed it since he made that comment about sound transmissions earlier, but

His mental state was scarily deep.

For there to have been someone like this hiding in the Imperial Palace

No.

Someone like young master Kim could not be hidden.

Maybe if they chose to seclude themselves, but

I cannot understand why the Emperor is moving so many members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard for young master Kim.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo felt anxious for the first time in a long while.

He's resourcefulness is as high as his martial arts level!

Her heart was beating wildly.

Honestly speaking, she did not have much attachment to the Zhuge Clan.

She only had Zhuge Eun So by her side because of her talents.

There was only one reason she joined the Martial Arts Alliance at a young age and ran around the battlefield with Ko Seh Bum.

Its been a while since my heart beat like this.

Her weapon

She loved the battlefield, the place she could use her intellect, so much.

And now She was facing someone whose intelligence was at her level, if not higher.

This dark shadow He was someone who could control the Triumvirate and even the Imperial Palace.

What do you think about my plan, Chief Advisor-nim?

She responded to young master Kims question.

It is a great idea, young master-nim. However, there are a few points that need to be supplemented. Would it be okay if I organize those things and inform you about it in a bit?

Cale turned toward the Alliance leader. The Chief Advisor was saying that she would report immediately to Cale and not the Alliance leader. The Alliance leader nodded his head at Cale's gaze that seemed to be asking if it would be okay.

The Martial Arts Alliance will fully support you in this endeavor, young master Kim.

It was saying that he accepted the fact that young master Kim would be the center of this operation.

Then I look forward to the plan you will come up with, Chief Advisor-nim.

Cale calmly answered, however He felt quite good.

Now that we have a smart person in our midst, everything should progress smoothly.

He should be able to take a step back.

A smile appeared on his face.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo looked at him and thought about the few things she needed to organize.

In order to cause chaos within the Blood Cult, it is better to purify all of the living jiangshis at once.

Young master Kim mentioned a seal and elixirs, so it might be a better plan to purify all of them at once, even if it is pushing young master Kims limits a bit, once his preparations were completed.

I'll report about that, and-

Furthermore, locating the Blood Cult It should be good to bring up the idea of gathering information from the Triumvirate.

I'm curious to see how someone who has reached the Nature Realm purifies the living jiangshis.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo had not heard about how Cale purified the living jiangshi.

All she heard was the short result of him being purified.

Since he is intelligent, lets bring up the most efficient method.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo was planning on things that would make Cale gasp and warily look at Raon and Ron.

A few moments later, once Cale left with the Alliance leader saying that he needed to meet with the Embroidered Uniform Guard and she was left alone with Elder Ho

Elder Ho-nim, young master Kim is truly a scary person.

She could not understand what Elder Ho said in response.

He is truly wise and scary, but

Elder Ho let out a sigh as he spoke.

He is also an extremely nice and soft-hearted person.

Nice and soft-hearted?

Zhuge Mi Ryeo looked confused and Elder Ho just faintly smiled toward her.

You'll see it soon enough, Chief Advisor. Youll understand how noble young master Kim-nim is once you see it.

.

That sir is the Orthodox faction itself.

The dark shadow is the Orthodox faction itself?

Zhuge Mi Ryeo could not understand Elder Ho even more.

Elder Ho just smiled as if he understood her but that she would find out as time passed by.

* * *

An odd rumor started spreading around the Martial Arts Alliance.

I thought that the Emperors older brothers were all dead? But the Emperors hyung-nim is here in the Martial Arts Alliance?

You know the guest house where the Alliance leader-nims guests reside?! That place is covered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard right now. I heard that the Emperors cherished younger brother has come sightseeing in the Martial Arts Alliance?

No, I heard that he was the Emperors hidden son? That is why the Embroidered Uniform Guard is singing about jade and gold?

I heard that it was the Emperors sworn younger brother but he is so so weak. The Emperor was so worried that he might fly away in the wind that he sent out so many members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

To be more accurate, rumors that would make Cale gasp were starting to spread.
