Chapter 257
Episode 257: I am the leader of this place (2)
The leader of the resistance group introduced himself as Ilgwang.
It was completely different from what I had imagined.
Yu Jin-san had never seen such a huge and scary-looking person before.
Paedomun’s Baekgyu was incomparable.
‘Oh my God. A person with a weak heart would have a seizure just by looking at your face.’
However, contrary to his scary appearance, his personality was very generous.
I would have to experience it a little more to know, but my first impression was that he seemed like a trustworthy person.
“I am called Yanggoe in the martial arts community.”
“I sincerely welcome you, Daehyup. “It’s not safe here, so let’s go to headquarters and talk.”
Yu Jin-san was dumbfounded.
Because his suggestion was somewhat absurd.
“How can you trust me when you first see me and take me straight to headquarters?”
Above all, he didn’t ask anything about himself.
Even where it came from and for what purpose.
“What if I believe it? What if I don’t believe it? “If you go and talk about it, you will gradually find out.”
This probably means that they are confident in their defense. So much so that if he came with other intentions, he could be suppressed.
A man named Il-gwang took the lead, and Jin-san Yu and Pyeong-il Lim followed him.
The back of Il-gwang, who was bulky and sturdy, looked as huge as Mount Tai. It was amazing to see such a large body perform a feather-like attack.
Moreover, the subtle sense of force and intimidation was comparable to that of a teenage martial arts expert.
‘How could such a great expert be hiding on this island?’
It wouldn’t be easy to find a rival even in Moorim if it was Daylight.
Until now, the only person who recognized at once that he was an old man who had returned to his old age was Jeonghye, an apostate monk. Il-gwang was feeling such great momentum right now.
The most questionable thing was the fact that such a strong person was hiding.
How many amazing people are there inside the wall? It was something I could never understand.
‘I think this was caught incorrectly. ‘It won’t be easy.’
The warrior dragon of the warrior king who dyed the southern martial forest with blood.
I felt like I needed to rethink this vicious guy in general.
Yu Jin-san, who was following the sunlight, kept tilting his head. This is because the surrounding terrain was unusual.
‘Could it be that a tremor is spreading?’
What is Gimunjin (奇門陣)? If you are trapped inside a kind of barrier set up using objects, you may see illusions or lose your sense of direction.
It was so subtle that I wouldn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t been conscious and looked for it.
The deeper he went, the more amazed he became.
This is because watertight defenses, including ambushes and traps, were in place.
‘If you break in blindly, you won’t be able to get out alive, even if it’s a fire attack.’
After a while, Il-gwang’s steps stopped.
When I looked closely, I saw a hole hidden in the bushes in front.
“Now, right here. “I will go in first, so please follow me.”
After speaking, he leapt and jumped into the hole.
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the scene, silently threw himself away.
Taaa-!
Yujinsan entered the inside of the lava cave and was quite surprised.
This is because, unlike what it looks like from the outside, it is very spacious and comfortable.
Water droplets fell from the stalactites on the ceiling, causing water to accumulate in various places on the floor.
At least it was a place where there was no need to worry about drinking water.
Moreover, unlike the hot and sticky climate outside, the temperature inside the cave was very cool.
‘I’m sure Seol will be happy when she comes.’
Yu Jin-san smiled without realizing it when he thought of his granddaughter.
Next to him, Lim Pyeong-il asked while matching his stride.
“How is it?”
“This is my first time seeing a cave this big. “I like it because it’s not stuffy.”
“You will be more surprised soon. “We expanded the interior a bit.”
As he said, the more I looked at it, the more I was impressed.
Numerous rooms were created around a deep passage, like an ant cave, and had various uses.
Warriors training while holding their swords. And even the women who do laundry or prepare food.
Even livestock were seen.
If it weren’t for the cave, it could almost be called a village.
Everyone who came across the daylight greeted me with happy faces.
“Hello, Captain!”
“Are you on patrol?”
“haha! “Nothing happened, right?”
Contrary to the scary impression, there was not a single person who was afraid of sunlight. No, on the contrary, it was extremely popular.
The man who was walking ahead waved one hand.
“Yes, everyone worked hard!”
It was a completely different world from the hideout my granddaughter was currently guarding.
It may not be as good as the outside world, but it is full of life. Everyone’s faces were full of composure.
So it is inevitable that Lim Pyeong-il would want to bring the residents of the hideout here.
After moving forward for about a hundred more, Il-gwang’s steps stopped.
“This is where we direct operations. “Let’s go in.”
It was another small passage next to the central passage. There was a room inside that was expanded.
Inside, there was a stone table and chairs.
And there was a woman sitting in the very back.
She was an impressive woman with an old-fashioned appearance that did not suit this place.
Il-gwang, who entered ahead, smiled and shouted at her.
“Wife, look who we brought! “A very important guest has arrived from the mainland.”
She got up from her seat and slightly lowered her head.
“My name is Yeon Cho-hee, and I am the general manager.”
“It’s called lamb.”
After they briefly introduced each other, Ilgwang grinned and gestured left and right.
“Now, let’s all sit down and listen. “For what reason did a person like Daehyeop Yanggoi come here?”
Im Pyeong-il sat next to Jin-san Yu, and Il-gwang and his wife, Yeon Cho-hee, sat across from him.
There was no reason to hide the purpose of coming here.
“I heard that the strongest master in the Southern Wulin is on this island. “I came to find out who is the best in the world.”
Ilgwang narrowed his bird-like eyes and pointed at the ceiling with his index finger.
“Are you sure you mean the guy up there?”
“exactly. “Water King Warrior Dragon.”
Il-gwang sighed for a moment and spoke with a serious expression.
“I want to tell you in advance that I have no intention of ignoring the Daehyup. “I’m not the type to talk back.”
“So what do you want to say?”
After a brief pause, Il-gwang lowered his voice and answered.
“Don’t even dream of fighting a warrior dragon. “Because that guy wasn’t a human.”
“Have you ever fought him?”
It was widely rumored that no one had ever received the warrior dragon’s total.
If everything goes as expected, the sunlight in front of you will be the only person.
Jin-san Yu also became curious about what the story was.
“It’s hard to say we fought… but we ran away once.”
After speaking, Il-gwang began to take off his tattered shirt.
Yu Jin-san, who was soon examining his upper body, made an expression of surprise.
“…?”
The reason he was surprised wasn’t because of the ferocious muscles.
It was because of the red palm print engraved on Il-gwang’s right chest.
It looked like a fairly old wound, but the skin had not yet recovered.
“It’s an injury I received back then, and it’s still like this to this day.”
“What kind of martial arts attack did you suffer?”
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no martial arts that could be guessed.
It was close to magic, but I was sure it wasn’t that either.
“I don’t know exactly either. “It seemed to me that the martial arts he was performing were not from the midfield.”
It wasn’t immediately important what the guy’s identity was.
What bothered me the most was that Il-gwang barely escaped.
“…hmm.”
While he was lost in thought for a moment, Il-gwang made a subtle suggestion.
“You won’t be able to do it alone, so let’s deal with it together. “I will help you catch him.”
Jinsan Yu, who had been listening quietly, shook his head sideways.
“It’s only meaningful if you fight one-on-one. “Only then can one be qualified to become supreme.”
Daylight sighed with a frustrated look on his face.
“I know your will, but I didn’t tell you just now. Even if Daehyeop and I attack together, it won’t be easy to subdue him.”
However, he completely misunderstood Yu Jin-san’s words.
“I never said I was fighting.”
“What do you mean?”
Ilgwang’s face was full of questions.
At that time, Lim Pyeong-il, who was listening next to him, explained on behalf of Yu Jin-san.
“Leader. “Yanggoe Daehyup did not come here alone.”
“So you have a colleague?”
“yes. “Eumgoe Daehyeop came with us and is now protecting the Hangam Temple hideout.”
It was a daylight that felt like it had the whole world just by joining Eugene Mountain.
He seemed unable to control his joy at the news that he had another reliable ally.
“Is that really true, Brother Lim? “So you’re saying that the Yin Kai Dahyeok is just as strong as the Yang Kai Dahyeop?”
“I personally saw them kill three enemy soldiers with their bare hands.”
At that moment, Il-gwang jumped up from his seat.
Then he danced, shaking his shoulders.
“ha ha ha! Hahaha! “There is finally hope for us!”
“Great captain.”
Even though Lim Pyeong-il stopped him, he couldn’t stop laughing.
He was finally able to calm down after his wife, Yeon Cho-hee, noticed.
“I’m sorry about this. “I behaved indecently without even realizing it.”
Who would have thought that the captain would have been such an ignorant and pure person.
Perhaps he was in charge of the armed forces and his wife was in charge of managing the organization.
Anyway, Jin-san Yu also liked Il-gwang’s honest and easy-going personality.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. “I think there’s something I need to do first before I attack them.”
The first thing was to join my granddaughter who was guarding the hideout.
Due to the nature of the rumor, it would have blocked the road at this very moment and would not have moved.
Lim Pyeong-il, who was watching at the time, added an explanation.
“I’m talking about joining the western hideout here.”
Yeon Cho-hee, who had been watching silently, spoke for the first time.
“It was something we were concerned about, but we couldn’t even try it because an enemy outpost was created in the middle.”
Jinsan Yu nodded as if he understood.
“I saw it on the way. But that’s all you need to know how to make it.”
“Do you have any thoughts?”
This was something I kept thinking about as I came here.
His gaze was directed to the top of the stone table in the center.
It was not just a stone table. There was a map of the island engraved on it, including the hideout.
“All residents of the hideout must move quickly at once.”
“you’re right. “If our intentions are discovered, security will be further strengthened.”
Jin-san Yu nodded and connected the hideout and headquarters marked on the map with his index finger.
“But if the residents walk, it takes half a day to get here. “No matter what method we use, we will not be able to keep the procession intact for such a long time.”
“Are you saying that we have to make some sacrifices?”
Jinsan Yu shook his head resolutely.
“What I’m saying is that quick-footed warriors should carry him and run. “If we make stretchers, we will be able to move a large number with a small number of people.”
“If that happens, the number of escort troops will be reduced accordingly, and it will be difficult to break through the outpost.”
Of course, it wasn’t Eugene San who hadn’t thought about that problem.
His index finger pointed to the enemy outpost marked on the stone table.
“How about doing it this way? Captain Ilgwang, please lure the experts in this area to one place. “If the captain appears alone, I will use all my might to chase him.”
Il-gwang was watching indifferently, but Yeon Cho-hee asked with a worried look on his face.
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous to go alone? “The power there has not been determined yet.”
“It’s not that dangerous. All you have to do is gather them in one place. No matter how many masters chase after him, Yin Kai will overcome them all.”
“…Yes? Is that possible?”
Jinsan Yu nodded without any hesitation.
He then proceeded to explain the following.
