Chapter 97: Murim Association (1)
I guess they're not that stupid.'
Chun Yeowun, who read the memories of the ghost of Kwak Woon, thought so.
No matter how much information was blocked and covered under the pretext of the Gate war, the suspicions of the Murim Association were directed at the orders of the Sky Demon.
'This is proof that they are afraid of the Sect.'
The Murim Association could do nothing but hold back even though 27 years had passed
But that's not all. The response of the Murim Association was extraordinary.
According to Kwak Woon's memories, the Murim Association sent him because he was close to the city of Jinan.
"They didn't defend their power."
Even among the association soldiers, the Five Great Warriors were the best.
In the case of Kwak Woon, he was from the Mount Hua clan.
Of course, this action was taken by the association because they thought that such a skilled person would be able to solve the suspicions they had in Jinan city.
'Hmm.'
Understanding the whole situation from memory alone was difficult.
Kwak Woon did not directly give his full answer, but he subconsciously recalled some things.
And the pieces were seen by Chun Yeowun.
It was more like a movie, but the editing was not clean.
"Well, it's not that there's no benefit to this."
He gets some pretty useful ghosts, and learns some of their weaknesses as well.
The number of Ghosts around Chun Yeowun is 14, including Kwak Woon.
Five of the disciples of the Hua Mountain clan could not be transformed into Ghosts.
'Sort of self-defense that prevents Ghosts from forming.'
Among the 18 disciples, some witnessed the death of their comrades and responded appropriately, so the surprise attack was unsuccessful.
And when they die, Ghosts do not form from their bodies.
So the ghost would not have formed if the man's body was protected with martial techniques.
"That's a pity."
If this weakness spread to others, then they would use it to prevent more Ghosts from forming.
"Well, the secret shouldn't have leaked."
Since he was aware of this, he blocked Kwak Woon's blood spot first.
"Lake in."
When Chun Yeowun raised her right hand, the wandering Ghosts began to be absorbed into the wrist protector.
Shhh!
Any power can be used appropriately. Chun Yeowun came out of the warehouse and approached the large RV parked in front.
Looking at the license plate, it is clear that this car is a rental car.
Shh! Click!
Chun Yeowun reached out and broke the window.
A case study bag inside.
The case seems to be made of a special alloy and is locked with fingerprints.
However, that meant nothing to Chun Yeowun.
It sounded!
Nano hacked it, and the case was opened. It revealed a ball the size of a fist that emitted a dazzling light.
The core.
[It is estimated to be the core of class-A.]
'true.'
If one were to see the great energy radiating from it, it would definitely be an A-grade core.
Satisfied, Chun Yeowun closed her case.
This must be the core that Kwak Woon obtained at the Gate in Weifang city.
"I'm gonna be lucky."
Coincidentally, right after obtaining the core, he was asked to take this job in Jinan city.
Therefore, the man was unable to absorb the core and carry it, only to die and let Chun Yeowun take it.
In his dying moments, the man thought highly of this.
'Two A classes and one S class core ...'
Chun Yeowun was anxious because she didn't carry many cores, but she managed to have three cores of the highest quality.
And this will be enough to increase the strength even more.
“Now that we have recovered the important thing, should I recover the others as well?”
Chun Yeowun closed the case and walked around the entrance of the product warehouse looking for the masked dead and the corpses of the disciples of Mount Hua.
Meanwhile, some people from the Yongchun group had arrived.
"Well…"
Huan Myung-oh could not hide his surprise.
Fortunately, the situation had been resolved by Chun Yeowun, but she hated herself for not being able to get the information that the Murim Association had come here.
"I'm sorry. I should have known this.”
It's hard to say that this is Huan Myung-oh's fault.
Since the high-speed subway, which is managed by Defense, it makes no sense to know who is using it in real time.
And since the railway was the most important means of transportation, it was impossible to plant people because the Defense would thoroughly examine suspicious people.
Huan Myung-oh tries to plant people with fake human skin masks, but always fails because fingerprints and iris verification are needed.
"I will try to find a way to identify the people who came to Jinan."
Chun Yeowun threw something towards Huan Myung-oh.
"Use this."
Nah!
"This?"
The rings.
It looked like an ordinary ring, why was he given a ring?
“Yang named Kwak Woon has it.”
"Well! Kwak Woon's? Kwak Woon from the Mount Hua clan?”
Huan Myung-oh was surprised to hear those words.
Although he is not a member of the Murim Association, Huan Myung-oh knows things that are happening in the Murim world.
And Kwak Woon was one of the Five Great Warriors.
He did not even imagine that one of the strongest in the association would break into the warehouse.
“Director Huan! Look at this body!”
At the same time, the cult that burned corpses around the product warehouse carried the corpses on stretchers.
The body belongs to Kwak Woon.
White face and a terrible body.
But the man is easily recognizable.
'For the swordsman of Mount Hua to turn into this.'
He knew about Chun Yeowun's power.
And to Chun Yeowun, even the Five Great Warriors seemed to be mere rats.
'Did they send the strongest? That means the Murim Association has noticed us.’
Huan Myung-oh's face darkened because of it.
When they fought the Murim branch of Jinan city, they did expect this to some extent.
But he did not think that such powerful people would be sent.
This means that they are alert.
'If Mr. Chun Ma does not come here first, then the device will be taken and we will suffer greatly.'
Chun Yeowun could easily handle Kwak Woon.
However, the reputation of the Kwak Woon of the Mount Hua clan was enormous.
And if Yongchun's group were to fight him, then they would lose.
The Murim Association would also receive information that the Sect was trying to bounce back.
Huan Myung-oh opened his mouth with a serious look.
"Sir, Murim Association ..."
“Definitely noticed us. They would be idiots if not.”
“I understand why Lord ordered the merger to be done immediately.”
If the Murim Association were to be this wary, obviously they would think of another way to attack the Sect.
The longer it takes for a merger to happen, the greater the chance the Murim Association has of influencing others.
In the end, the merger had to be accelerated just like Chun Yeowun had said.
“Tuan Chun Ma, how about this?”
Huan Myung-oh asks about the ring he was given.
"There's a chip in the ring."
"Huh? In the?"
The ring is small and thin.
Which means micro-scale chips can be planted in them.
“It must be the Murim Association. You brought your phone?”
Hearing Chun Yeowun's words, Huan Myung-oh hands over the smartphone on his wrist.
As Chun Yeowun grabbed the phone, nanowires jumped out of Chun Yeowun's palm and connected to her.
This then sends the information to the screen.
After he finished, Chun Yeowun returned the phone to him and said.
"I put the chip frequency code into the ring."
"Tu-Master, frequency code?"
Huan Myung-oh could not hold his expression as the task was completed in such a short period of time.
He saw the phone. Since even his fingerprints were not opened, he could not understand.
To him, Chun Yeowun said.
"Can you use it to make a tracking device?"
“P-may.”
Building a tracking device can be done if the frequency code is known.
And with that, it is possible to know the owner of this chip.
Although it could not be used inside the subway, just placing Sect members with tracking devices on the platform was enough to detect people.
'We can stop them once they enter Jinan city!'
Suddenly, Huan Myung-oh thinks that it is not only Kwak Woon, but other warriors of the Murim Association will also have it.
'Then the others will ...'
“No need to check. Give me your hand.”
Huan Myung-oh reached out his hand hearing Chun Yeowun's words.
Some items were taken from Chun Yeowun's coat pocket and placed in his hand.
It starts with the button and everything.
"W-You found all this?"
Huan Myung-oh was shocked.
Without the proper equipment, he was worried about how to find these chips.
But the surprise doesn't end there.
“Take this too. This is what Kwak Woon.” has
“Kwak Woon?”
Huan Myung-oh is confused by the case that Chun Yeowun has handed to her.
It had fingerprint recognition, but it was unlocked, so he opened it.
"Oh!"
A core is inside the case.
Huan Myung-oh is at a loss for words at its core that emit tremendous energy.
'Only when…'
It seemed that Chun Yeowun possessed a number of abilities that were not in line with a martial artist.
And it was amazing to see them all in action.
"They're all unlucky people."
They tried to take out the core refinement device and dig up information about the Sect. However, they had not only lost their powerful warriors, but also their precious A-class core.
They're gonna be angry now.
And just thinking about it already makes Huan Myung-oh feel refreshed.
As of now, they were all in a position where they were subject to the Murim Association. But seeing how the Murim Association was now being beaten up, he felt excited.
And then one worry arose.
'Ah .. This one, will make them sure.'
Come to think of it, until now, the association was in doubt.
However, if the recapture of the device fails and the fact that Kwak Woon died is known, then their doubts will turn into certainty.
“... Mr. Chun Ma. it looks like their movement will go smoothly after this.”
"In what way?"
“Maybe they will try to suppress us by saying that Kwak Woon disappeared or maybe...they will go all out to war with us before we even get the numbers on our side.”.
If the association sent one of the Five Great Warriors out of doubt, then they would definitely go into an all-out war if they were confident.
If that happens, the merger will not be the most important task, as it will be very important to find a way to deal with the Murim Association.
“It won't happen.”
"I'm sorry?"
Confused by Chun Yeowun, Huan Myung-oh asked.
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
“Huan Myung-oh's. What do you think is the best defense?”
It seems Chun Yeowun asked about the association's invasion preparations.
Chun Yeowun spoke in a calm voice to Huan Myung-oh because she was nervous and could not give an answer.
"This is a preemptive attack."
'!?'
Three days later.
wuhan city.
Located in the middle of Hubei province, the city is known as the safest city.
The reason for that was because the headquarters of the Murim Association was here.
Modern martial arts houses with hundreds of small and medium-sized clans take root here.
Over 30,000 residents were martial artists.
The headquarters of the Murim Association is in northeast Wuhan.
The main office building is in the form of a ceramic house that mimics the old Murim structure.
In addition, there are more than 20 buildings and hundreds of sports facilities in the sprawling location.
“Haa! Haa!”
The cheers of the Murim people filled the halls throughout the location.
And a large cargo truck has entered the Murim Association.
Snipe!
Barricades came down and blocked the entrance.
Guards at the main entrance gate exit and stop the cargo truck.
A security guard wearing a yellow ribbon, who appeared to be the team leader, gestured for the window to be lowered.
Crying out!
The window of the truck lowered and revealed the driver's face.
The driver looked nervous.
Confused, the security guard asked.
“Your vehicle is not registered, so what business do you have here?”
“I-it..”.
Hearing the question, the driver looked at the person sitting next to him.
Due to the large cargo truck, the passenger seat is not visible from the outside.
However, the truck driver suddenly looked confused.
"Huh? If you say that..”.
The security guard thought this was strange and pulled out a gun.
"What are you again? Show me your ID card now. ”
Waving his hands in fear, the driver said.
"I-I have nothing to do with this ..."
Click!
The guard pointed the gun at the driver.
“Reveal what business you have here! If not!"
“Eik!”
Swish!
As the leader gestured, the other guards pulled out their pistols and surrounded the truck.
They are ready to check the truck at any time.
“This is the last warning. What business…"
That was.
The voice next to the truck driver came out.
"Business? I came to obliterate the entire main office of the Murim Association.”
