Chapter 60 : Meeting the Guide
Gu Hui, who had left the World-Covering Heaven-Shaking Sect, first went to the Mugang County branch of the Haomun.
The branch manager, Seo Wonchun, asked politely.
"Sect Master Gu, what brings you here? Do you have another corpse to dispose of this time?"
"No. I came to find a person. I am looking for someone who knows the way to the Southern Man Beast Palace, can you find one?"
"The Southern Man Beast Palace… are you talking about that foreign force located in the Southern Man?"
Е̇ n ū m̃а̊. і̀d́
"Yes."
Seo Wonchun muttered to himself.

'Why is he going there…? Is he going there to cause trouble too….'
Since there were so many people who had been defeated by Gu Hui, Seo Wonchun thought so inwardly. He was curious, but he did not dare to ask.
"Among those who reside in the Central Plains, there are very few who know the location of the Southern Man Beast Palace. It will be difficult to find a guide other than at the branch located in Yunnan Province of the Haomun."
Yunnan was a region next to the Southern Man.
Е n̊ úmа
The herbalists who resided near the regional border between Yunnan and the Southern Man often entered the forests of the Southern Man to dig for medicinal herbs.
So they knew the mountain paths of the Southern Man to some extent.
Among them, there might even be someone who knew the location of the Southern Man Beast Palace.
Although it was rare.

Gu Hui had to pass through Yunnan anyway.
He thought that he should find a guide in Yunnan as Seo Wonchun had said.
En̈ ūm̄a
"Then, where is the Haomun branch located in Yunnan Province?"
Seo Wonchun drew a map on a piece of paper. A short while later, he handed the completed map to Gu Hui.
"This is a map to the Jinghong County branch of the Haomun located in Jinghong County, Yunnan Province. If you go there and say the password that proves you are a VIP of the Haomun, you can meet the branch manager right away. I have written the password at the end of the paper."
The Jinghong County branch of the Haomun was located at the southwestern end of Yunnan Province.
It was located near the regional border between Yunnan and the Southern Man.
Gu Hui said.

"Thank you for the information. How much do I have to pay for the information fee?"
"It's free for people of the World-Covering Heaven-Shaking Sect. You don't have to pay."
It was because the Haomun had promised to provide information to Gu Hui earlier.
Gu Hui said.
"Alright. Thank you. Then, please do your best."
He opened the door and left the Mugang County branch of the Haomun.

Gu Hui, who had traveled for fifteen days on Heukgu's back, was finally able to arrive at Jinghong County, Yunnan Province.

The bustling streets of Jinghong County.
Gu Hui walked through the red-light district with Heukgu on a night with a clear moonlight.
The streets were lined with brothels, and at the entrances, women in red silk robes were soliciting customers, giving off a fragrant scent.
The women repeatedly seduced Gu Hui.

"Hey, handsome young brother. Come play here~"
"Older brother, you're so cool. What's that wild boar? Are you raising it? Oh my, it looks delicious."
Gu Hui ignored their solicitations and was repeatedly looking around at the signboards.
Soon, the signboard Gu Hui was looking for came into his sight.

[Yeonhwaru]
That brothel had the largest scale in Jinghong County.
Ŵ ě b̄nōv е l̈ Е nu m ӑ
Gu Hui, who had put Heukgu next to the entrance, entered Yeonhwaru.
The courtesans of Yeonhwaru clung to Gu Hui.
"An excellent choice, older brother!"
"Welcome!"
Gu Hui suddenly couldn't remember what the password was.
He took out the paper he had received from Seo Wonchun from his pocket. Then he read the password written on the paper and said with a calm expression.

"I came to drink the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Wine."
The courtesans' gazes changed. One of them asked.
"Hoho, what a joke. To drink the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Wine, you have to go to the imperial palace."
The Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Wine was a famous wine made from a hundred kinds of flowers and was only in the imperial palace.
In response, Gu Hui retorted.
"Then bring me the Snow Flower Jade Dew Wine."
Е̃n û m̆а .і.d̃
The Snow Flower Jade Dew Wine.
It was a wine with a clear color like snow. It was a top-grade famous wine with a refreshing feeling that could not be compared to anything else.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Since the manufacturing method was known at the North Sea Ice Palace located in the North Sea, it could not be obtained in the Central Plains. It was a wine that was harder to obtain than the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Wine.
As Gu Hui knew the two passwords for sure, the senior courtesan bowed her head and said politely.
"So you were a VIP of the Haomun. Please follow me."
Following her, Gu Hui headed for the top floor.

Gu Hui, who had been guided and had entered a room on the top floor.
Inside, a woman in her forties sat at a table.
Gu Hui sat on a chair and faced her.
"Welcome. I am Seol Biok, the branch manager of the Jinghong County branch of the Haomun."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Nice to meet you."
"You are Sect Master Gu from the World-Covering Heaven-Shaking Sect, right?"
Е_ñ u m а̂ .іd
She had already received a letter from the Mugang County branch manager that Gu Hui would be visiting here.
"Yes."
"I heard you are looking for a guide to the Southern Man Beast Palace. As soon as I received the letter from the Mugang County branch, I investigated information about a guide."
"So what happened? Did you find one?"
"I was able to find just one person. By any chance, do you know the nine tribes that support the Southern Man Beast Palace, Sect Master Gu?"
The Nine Great Tribes.

They were the nine tribes that formed the foundation of the Southern Man Beast Palace.
A long time ago, the force that was created by their alliance was the Southern Man Beast Palace.
"I've heard of them roughly."
"I have obtained information that a person who was a member of the Kamakun tribe, one of the Nine Great Tribes, is now in Jinghong County. His name is Lee Jonghaeng. I was able to find only that one person. But there is one problem."
"What is it?"
"His physical condition is not good. It won't be easy to take him."
Е̂n̈ ŭ m̆ а
"I will see for myself and judge. Where do I have to go to meet him?"
"Our informant will guide you. Muwol."

At her call, a courtesan who had been waiting outside the door entered. It was the courtesan who had guided Gu Hui to this room.
"Give your orders, branch manager."
"Please guide this person to the place where that person is."
"Understood. Please follow me."

Gu Hui said to Seol Biok.
"Do your best."
Leaving those words, he went out with the courtesan.

Gu Hui, who had gone out with the courtesan, arrived at a poor village after half an hour.
Houses made of tents and straw mats were lined up in a row.
Е́ ṅǔ m а . і d
The smell of filth pierced the tip of his nose, and flies were buzzing around.
The courtesan, Muwol, who had gotten off Heukgu's back, said.
"I came comfortably thanks to this wild boar. That third tent house is where that person lives. Go in and talk to him. I will be going back now."
She went back, and Gu Hui walked to the entrance of the third tent house.
"Is anyone there?"
At Gu Hui's question, a man's voice was heard from inside the tent house.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Wh-who are you?"
"I came to meet a person named Lee Jonghaeng. Because I have a favor to ask."
"I am Lee Jonghaeng… please come in first."
Gu Hui, who was lifting the straw mat, entered the house.
In the room, a man was lying on a bed. He said with an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry I can't get up and greet you properly… my legs are not good…."
Еn ŭ m̀ а̄.і̀ d̄
Saying so, Lee Jonghaeng removed the blanket that was covering his legs.
He had no legs below his knees.

Gu Hui said.
"Don't mind it. I am Gu Hui, a resident of Mugang County, Hebei Province. I came because I heard that you were a former member of the Southern Man Beast Palace. To be precise, a member of the Nine Great Tribes. So I came to ask for a guide. I want to be guided to the Southern Man Beast Palace."
The Southern Man Beast Palace was located in a rough jungle. It was close to impossible to find the Southern Man Beast Palace with just a map without a guide. One would get lost ten out of ten times.
So he had to accompany Lee Jonghaeng.

Lee Jonghaeng said with a bitter expression.
"My legs are like this… it will be difficult to take you… even if you put me on a horse, the horse will not be able to travel to the Southern Man Beast Palace. It will be stung by all sorts of poisonous insects and die on the way."
The beasts of the Central Plains are vulnerable to poison.
In the Southern Man, there are countless poisonous insects and poisonous plants.

It is difficult to cross the jungle unless one is an animal of the Southern Man that is adapted to it.
But to Gu Hui, such things were not a concern.
Еn̂ǔḿ a_
Heukgu was not an ordinary wild boar, and he had a resistance to most poisons. In the first place, it would be impossible for a poisonous insect to pierce Heukgu's thick and hard hide.
"Don't worry about that. When I finish my business at the Southern Man Beast Palace, I will take you home safely."
Lee Jonghaeng, who was thinking with serious eyes for a moment, said cautiously.
"Then I have a favor to ask."
"Tell me. I will pay the price accordingly."
"Please take my wife to the Southern Man with me…."

"Why your wife…?"
"I want to go back to my tribe in the Southern Man with her and live… this place is hell…."
Lee Jonghaeng had wanted to go back to his tribe with his wife for a long time. But he could not go because he was not in a situation to go.
"Your wife might not want to."
"Absolutely not. She also wants to escape this hell."
"Hell…? Hmm, can you tell me the situation?"
Е̊n um̀ а̀
Gu Hui guessed that Lee Jonghaeng had some kind of situation.
He planned to listen to his situation and solve it.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Then he would be a guide in return.
Lee Jonghaeng told his story.
His story was as follows.
He, who had been a member of the Kamakun tribe, had come to the Central Plains to see a bigger world.
Е̂ṅ.ǔm̃а. і̃ d̊
He, who had come to the Central Plains, had met his current wife, who was working as a courtesan here, and had even married her.
His wife had a debt. Because of that, she was in a situation where she could not quit her life as a courtesan.
In response, Lee Jonghaeng had worked hard as a wandering martial artist to pay off his wife's debt.
He, who had saved a lot of money by working like that for three years, immediately went to the brothel and paid off her debt.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Now she was a free woman, and he planned to take her and go back to his hometown.
But, that night.
W̃ е ḃ ñ о v ӗ l Ѐ_n um а̌
A dozen or so warriors came, and Lee Jonghaeng was defeated by their combined attack and became a cripple with his legs cut off.
Those dozen or so warriors were the warriors of the Nine Dragons Gang.
The Nine Dragons Gang.
It was a powerful gang that ruled Jinghong County.
In Jinghong County, it possessed an omnipotent power and military force.
The Nine Dragons Gang did various businesses, and among them, it had a large-scale brothel called Bibongru as a business site.

It was the brothel where Lee Jonghaeng's wife worked as a courtesan.
And the Nine Dragons Gang was famous as a gang that committed evil deeds.
Kidnapping, contract killing, confinement, fraud, labor exploitation, document forgery, etc.
Using the power of the gang, they intimidated the powerless and made them fall into pain.
That's right.
The Nine Dragons Gang had no intention of letting Lee Jonghaeng's wife go.
Е n̊ um.ӓ .і̄ d́
Furthermore, after swallowing Lee Jonghaeng's money, they had cut off his legs so that he could no longer interfere.
After that, Lee Jonghaeng had lived in this poor village, being taken care of by his wife.

His wife worked as a courtesan at night, and in the daytime, she came home and took care of Lee Jonghaeng.
Lee Jonghaeng had a sorrowful feeling.
He wanted to take revenge on the Nine Dragons Gang, but he had no power. So he had given up on revenge.
And he had one dream.
W e bn о̊ vе̇ l Е̌ǹ u m̃ а
It was to go back to his hometown, the Kamakun tribe, with her.
But that was also impossible.
Jinghong County was a region under the control of the Nine Dragons Gang.
As soon as they fled, they would be chased, and they would be caught before they could even cross Jinghong County.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Because the Nine Dragons Gang was a cruel place that never let go of the prey it had once bitten.
Gu Hui, who had heard the whole explanation, thought that the Nine Dragons Gang was a group that deserved to die.
Ѐnũm.a
"So that's the story."
"So I'm asking you like this. Please take me and my wife to the Southern Man… please let us escape this place…."
It was not a difficult task for Gu Hui at all.
"Alright."
"You will have to risk your life."
If he decided to take him and his wife and escape Jinghong County, this young man also had to risk his life.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
If they were caught by the Nine Dragons Gang, this young man would also be killed.
Lee Jonghaeng did not think that Gu Hui's martial arts would be that strong.
He looked like he was only in his twenties, and since he was a handsome man, he didn't look like he had suffered.
He looked like a martial arts novice who had just entered the martial world.
Gu Hui answered.
"I am always risking my life and fighting. If you want to kill others, you have to be prepared to die yourself."
Ŵ ѐ b n̆ оvе́ l̆ Ѐnum̀ а
A strange light appeared in Lee Jonghaeng's eyes.
He had the right mindset as a martial artist.

Somehow, he felt a sense of trust.
Lee Jonghaeng, who had nodded, got to the point.
"Then let's make a plan. Since my wife works at the brothel at night… we have to escape secretly tomorrow during the day. The route… since the mountains will leave traces, it would be better to use the main road to escape… I think we should also disguise ourselves. And…."
Gu Hui, who was listening silently, tilted his head.
Ẅ е b̀ ǹŏ v̆ êl Ё nūmа
"Why are you thinking so hard. We can just go and get her now."
"……??"
"I will get her out. Furthermore, I will also get rid of the future trouble. Then your worries will be solved, won't they?"
Gu Hui planned to get her out, and furthermore, he also planned to punish the Nine Dragons Gang.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even if it wasn't for Lee Jonghaeng's request, he planned to punish the Nine Dragons Gang to keep the will of his sect and his promise with his master.
Lee Jonghaeng, with a flustered expression, said.
Ŵēb́ nó v ӗl̀ E n̊ūm а
"It's not a problem that can be thought of so easily…."
"You also follow me. See it with your own eyes, their deaths."
He planned to resolve Lee Jonghaeng's grudge in that way.
Because revenge is best when you see the enemy die with your own eyes.
"Then let's go."
"W-wait… what are you talking about…."

Before Lee Jonghaeng's words were finished, Gu Hui raised his hand.
Then a dark blue energy that flowed from Gu Hui's hand wrapped around Lee Jonghaeng's body. Then Lee Jonghaeng's body floated in the air.
It was the technique of levitating objects in the air.
Lee Jonghaeng, who was astonished with his mouth wide open.
"Heok…!"
An unbelievable sight.

Levitating objects in the air…!
He had also heard of it.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The technique of levitating objects in the air, which was only possible for the top masters who had a reputation throughout the Central Plains.
As Gu Hui lifted the straw mat and went outside, Lee Jonghaeng's body was pulled along in the air.
Gu Hui, who had come out, gestured, and Lee Jonghaeng's butt, which was floating in the air, landed on Heukgu's back.
Lee Jonghaeng, with a blank face.
Е ñům̊ а.i d
"H-how can this be…."
He was mistaken.
He was greatly mistaken.
To have mistaken such a world-shaking master for a martial arts novice…!

Gu Hui got on Heukgu's back and said.
"Hold on to my body tightly so you don't fall off. Then let's go. Depart, Heukgu."

"Kuik!"
Heukgu kicked off the ground and headed for the red-light district.
