Chapter 7 : Prey Scattered Everywhere
Outside the quarters, in the hallway, stood Jo Okjeong, Biwol's dedicated maid.
Seeing Biwol, who had just opened the door and come out, Jo Okjeong's face became one of surprise.
"Heok! La-Lady Biwol. Yo-your eyes…."
She was horrified to see Biwol's eyes rolled back in her head.
Gu Hui's gaze turned to Jo Okjeong.
E n̄ ū m̂ă
Jo Okjeong felt a chilling shiver.
"A-are you alright…? I'll call a physician right away!"

"It's fine. But let me ask you a few things."
Jo Okjeong blinked her eyes.
It was not the way her master, Biwol, spoke.
'Did she hit her head or something…?'
Е̊nu m a. ïď
Jo Okjeong thought so.
Gu Hui asked.
"Where is this place?"
To help Biwol regain her memory, Jo Okjeong answered.

"Th-the Shadow Pavilion…."
Gu Hui had never heard the name Shadow Pavilion before.
Ѐ nùm̀á .ïd
He had neither heard nor seen it in his past life.
"What kind of place is it?"
"…It is an organization that deals with information within Hebei Province…. Lady Biwol, instead of this, I'll call a physician…."
"Just answer my questions."
"Ah, I understand…."
"Then tell me my position here."

"…You are Lady Biwol, the first disciple of the Pavilion Master…."
"I see."
He had found out the identity of the organization that was watching him.
Now it was time to find out their intentions for watching him.
"Where is the Pavilion Master's office? Lead the way."
"Yes…."
W̊ е b̄ń о̀ v ê l̃ Е nũ ṁа
Biwol led the way, and Gu Hui followed behind her.
It was not easy to walk.

When possessing a body through an art, the mind can be completely controlled, but the body does not follow well.
With clumsy steps, Gu Hui finally arrived at the entrance of the Pavilion Master's office.
"Good work."
Saying so to Jo Okjeong, Gu Hui opened the door and entered the Pavilion Master's office.

Gu Hui, who had suddenly opened the door and entered without even asking for permission.
Neung Sohwa, who was attending to her duties, turned her gaze to Gu Hui in Biwol's form.
"Huh? Wol, what's the matter… heok?!"

Neung Sohwa saw that her disciple Biwol's eyes were rolled back in her head. Surprised, she asked.
"Wo-Wol. What's wrong with your eyes? Are you hurt somewhere?"
Еnú m а. і̃d
Gu Hui said softly.
"I am not Biwol. I am someone who has temporarily borrowed her body."
"…What do you mean…."
"The man Biwol was watching. That man is me."
"……!!"
Neung Sohwa's eyes widened.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
It was hard to believe, but she couldn't not believe it either.
Because there was no way Biwol would have such an appearance and say such strange things.
Neung Sohwa admitted that the person standing before her now was not Biwol.
'What a truly mysterious ability…. To be able to take over a person's body like that….'
Neung Sohwa couldn't hide her surprise at Gu Hui's art. She had never imagined such a thing was possible.
Neung Sohwa let out a low groan and asked.
Е n̈ŭ.ṁ а̊
"Who… who the hell are you…?"
"I'm the one asking the questions. Pavilion Master. Why was the Shadow Pavilion watching me?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Neung Sohwa, who had been silent, finally answered.
"Because when you attacked the Black Tiger Gang, you also killed Gyo Seungak, the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang. Originally, the one Biwol was watching was not you, but Gyo Seungak. But, you killed Gyo Seungak, and things got complicated. Since you ruined our work, isn't it natural for us to find out the intentions of the one who ruined it?"
"Gyo Seungak, the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang? I killed him?"
"Y-yes. Did you kill him without even knowing his identity?"
Wе̃ b̊ nо̊v̂_е̇ ĺ Е ñ u_mа̇
"I didn't know. I didn't know there was anyone else besides the members of the Black Tiger Gang."
"……."
"That man, Gyo Seungak, was he a villain? Or a good person?"
Gu Hui hoped he was a villain.

He felt he would be quite sorry if he had killed an innocent person.
Neung Sohwa gritted her teeth and answered.
Wе̃.b n о̃v е́ĺ Е̇ ǹ.uṁа̇
"Of course he's a villain! He's the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang, which backs the Black Tiger Gang. The reason the Black Tiger Gang has been able to run rampant in Mugang County until now is because of the Dragon Spring Gang. Those bastards from the Dragon Spring Gang are my… eudeuk…."
She clenched her fist and couldn't continue.
Gu Hui felt relieved.
He was glad that the man he had killed was a villain.
And he became interested in the Dragon Spring Gang.
He was just about to look for his next target anyway.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
His next prey to obtain Soul Origin Energy.
He had to confirm whether the Dragon Spring Gang was worthy of being his prey.
"Continue what you were saying. Tell me more about the Dragon Spring Gang. Their evil deeds."
A strange light appeared in Neung Sohwa's eyes.
'He's curious about the Dragon Spring Gang's evil deeds…? Don't tell me this person is a master of the righteous faction…?'
Neung Sohwa guessed that Gu Hui might be a chivalrous hero of the righteous faction.
Ŵ еbṅo̊v̄e̊_l Е́ṅ û mа̃
The fact that he had annihilated the Black Tiger Gang before added to the credibility.
Moreover, he was curious about their evil deeds.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
There was no reason to ask about their evil deeds unless one was a chivalrous hero of the righteous faction.
'Perhaps this is an opportunity for our Shadow Pavilion….'
Thinking so, Neung Sohwa said.
"The Dragon Spring Gang backs the Black Tiger Gang and at the same time holds slave auctions with the people they capture. That alone is enough to call them villains."
Ѐ n̈ um̆ ӓ.і d
"Slave auctions… what kind of people are captured?"
"Innocent villagers. Before you attacked the Black Tiger Gang, the Black Tiger Gang had already handed over the kidnapped people to the Dragon Spring Gang. They will soon be sold off at auction."
Gu Hui's lips curled up slightly.
'That's enough.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Dragon Spring Gang was more than worthy of dying by his blade.
Gu Hui decided his next prey to obtain Soul Origin Energy would be the Dragon Spring Gang.
Ẁеbn̊оv̇ ĕl Е̇ nu m а́
Gu Hui said.
"Thank you. I've obtained good information thanks to you."
"What do you plan to do? Why are you asking about the Dragon Spring Gang?"
"I plan to bring judgment. Upon the Dragon Spring Gang."
"……!!"
Neung Sohwa was now certain.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
That Gu Hui was a master of the righteous faction, and one who was acting as a chivalrous hero.
Otherwise, there was no way he would say he would bring judgment upon hearing of their evil deeds without a second thought.
"A-are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Wh-when…?"
"Why are you curious about that? Ah, you said you were watching Gyo Seungak. Are you also targeting the Dragon Spring Gang?"
Е̂n̄ û ḿа̄
Neung Sohwa, who had been silent for a moment, decided to tell the truth.
That way, she could use Gu Hui to attack the Dragon Spring Gang and save her mother.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"My mother… is being held captive by the Dragon Spring Gang…."
The Shadow Pavilion master Neung Sohwa's mother is one of the top peak masters in Hebei.
She has the fearsome name of the Ice Heart Rakshasa.
It was impossible for the martial artists of the Dragon Spring Gang to have kidnapped her, who possessed formidable martial arts skills.
Е nŭ mа́
Then how did they kidnap her?
It was because the food the Ice Heart Rakshasa had eaten at an inn had been poisoned.
The martial artists of the Dragon Spring Gang had kidnapped her after she had collapsed from the poison.
Neung Sohwa had learned this fact through the testimonies of people around her.

Neung Sohwa wanted to save her mother right away, but she couldn't act rashly.
This was because the power of the Shadow Pavilion was weaker than that of the Dragon Spring Gang.
Ẇе̂ b̂ n̊о̃ vе̊ľ Е n̈ üm̃ а́
The Shadow Pavilion had a total of one thousand five hundred informants, but most of them were courtesans, laborers, waiters, and small merchants.
Since eighty percent of the informants had not learned martial arts, attacking the Dragon Spring Gang was a suicidal act.
So the plan she had come up with was to kidnap Gyo Seungak, the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang's leader, interrogate him to find out the location where her mother was being held, and then carry out a secret rescue operation.
But, that plan had been ruined by Gu Hui's interference.
But now that she thought about it, Neung Sohwa thought this was a blessing in disguise.
Perhaps this martial artist could be the answer.

Gu Hui replied.
"What is your mother's name?"
"Neung Hwaryeong. She is the grand elder of the Shadow Pavilion. In the martial world, she is called by the name Ice Heart Rakshasa."
A strange light appeared in Gu Hui's eyes.
It was a name he had heard in his past life.
He knew her as a martial artist who had made quite a name for herself in Hebei.
W e b̃ nо v́ el Еn̂ ûm ӓ
He had never seen her.
Neung Sohwa said with a hopeful expression.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"When you bring judgment upon the Dragon Spring Gang, can you also rescue my kidnapped mother…?"
Gu Hui suddenly had a good idea.
"I will rescue her. But there is a condition."
"A condition…?"
Е̂nûṁа
"Yes. The condition I want is the loyalty of you and the Shadow Pavilion."
Neung Sohwa's pupils trembled.
"Do you want my position…?"
Gu Hui let out a laugh.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I have no interest in a position like the Shadow Pavilion master. I just want your loyalty. I need an information force."
In the future, Gu Hui planned to establish a sect.
Е ň u mȧ ._і́ d
In his past life, he had moved alone and tried to solve everything by himself.
But it is difficult to handle ten hands with one hand.
He realized after he died that it was not easy to handle everything by himself.
So he planned to gather companions who would help him and establish a sect.
And he planned to make the Shadow Pavilion, led by Neung Sohwa, the subordinate information force of the sect he would establish.
In his past life, whenever he needed information, he had to go to the Beggars' Sect or the Underworld Sect to request information.

Thinking about it now, it was a cumbersome task.
In this life, he planned to build his own information force that would follow only his orders.
And that would be the Shadow Pavilion.
Although the current scale of the Shadow Pavilion was small, it didn't matter.
The scale could be expanded.
He could make it a huge information force that controlled the information of the entire Central Plains.
W e ḃ n̊о̀ v̌ѐ l Е n̊_ũ_mа
He could make it so.
Gu Hui continued.

"If you accept my proposal, from the day I rescue your mother, the Shadow Pavilion will only follow my orders. You will have to cut off all external information requests."
After thinking for a moment, she made a resolute expression.
'If I can just save my mother… I can do anything.'
"Alright. I accept the proposal."
W е_bn̊ ó v̀ е̄ l E̊.ñ ŭ mа̀
Nodding, Gu Hui asked.
"Where is the location of the Dragon Spring Gang?"
"Hmm, I'll send Biwol with you. Biwol will show you the location. And she will help you."
Neung Sohwa planned to exchange information through Biwol.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
She would confirm how Gu Hui would deal with the Dragon Spring Gang.
Neung Sohwa did not think that Gu Hui would go to attack the Dragon Spring Gang alone.
Ěn̄ũm̆ а̃ .і d
She was sure that Gu Hui belonged to a great force. He would probably attack the Dragon Spring Gang with the members of that force. That's why he was so confidently saying he would bring judgment upon the Dragon Spring Gang.
Neung Sohwa was a little expectant.
'The organization this person belongs to, could it be the Heavenly Army Alliance, the strongest alliance of the righteous faction…? Or, he could be a member of the Seven Great Families, the pillars of the righteous faction…!'
If he could move them, then annihilating the Dragon Spring Gang could become a reality.
In any case, if Gu Hui really did annihilate the Dragon Spring Gang, she would acknowledge him as the master of the Shadow Pavilion.
Gu Hui nodded.

"Do as you wish. It will take about two days for Biwol to arrive. I will be waiting."
"Alright."
A moment of silence fell.
Gu Hui pointed to a chair and said.
"May I sit for a moment? I still have time before the possession is released."
"…G-go ahead."
Ẅ e bn o̊.v̇ ê ĺ Е ñŭm̌а̄
Gu Hui sat down next to Neung Sohwa.
An awkward silence flowed.

Neung Sohwa opened her mouth.
"I haven't even asked for your name. Your name is…?"
"Gu Hui."
"Your name?"
Е̂ n̆ u m ã . іd
"I don't have one yet. And you?"
"Neung Sohwa. I was once called the Blood Butterfly. Have you heard of it?"
"I haven't."
"I-I see. Why haven't you heard of it…."

Silence fell again.
When the time came, Gu Hui's body began to tremble.
W e b̆n̄ оv е̂ l Е̊ ň u.m̀ а̇
"It's time to return the body to its owner. Then, I will come to you as soon as I finish my work."
"A-alright. I hope you succeed…."
Foam spewed from Gu Hui's mouth. His body trembled more violently.
His body froze like a stone statue, and his eyes, which had been rolled back, returned to normal.
"Huh?"
Seeing her master next to her, Biwol flinched.

"M-Master…? Why am I here…."
Biwol wondered if she was sleepwalking.
She had suddenly lost consciousness on the bed, and when she woke up, she was here.
Neung Sohwa decided not to tell Biwol that Gu Hui had possessed her body, for fear of shocking her.
"I-it seems you have a sleepwalking problem…."
A flustered Biwol lowered her head.

"…I-I didn't know. I'm sorry, Master…."
"It's alright, Biwol."

"Yes, Master."
"Go to that martial artist right now. Meet him and guide him to the location of the Dragon Spring Gang. And make sure to confirm what organization he belongs to and who he is dealing with the Dragon Spring Gang with."
"Yes…? That martial artist…."
"The martial artist you were watching. Go to him again."
W ӗb̌ ń о̊ v̄ѐ l̈ En̆ǔ m̃a
Biwol blinked her eyes.
"…Yes?"
It hadn't even been half a day since she had arrived at the Shadow Pavilion, but Biwol was going to find Gu Hui again.

Inside the stone chamber.
Gu Hui, who was sitting cross-legged in the red formation, opened his eyes.
W̄ е b̌ nо̄v̌ е l̀ E ǹ u m̄á
From this day on, Gu Hui spent his time training in martial arts until Biwol arrived.
Two days later, at the beginning of the hour of the horse. Biwol arrived at the estate.
Jo Manhong, who was sitting on the roof, muttered.
"Kkirooruk, kkirooruk, kkirook. (That woman, she's arrived. It's good to see you again. Hoho.)"
Sensing the presence, Gu Hui came out into the inner courtyard.
Facing Gu Hui, Biwol found the situation absurd even to herself.

'…I barely escaped, and now I've come back here on my own two feet….'
A sigh escaped her lips.
Gu Hui, with a calm face, asked.
"You're here. Have you eaten?"
"Ah, I haven't eaten yet…."
"I haven't eaten yet either. So what do you want to do?"

"What do you mean…?"
"The Dragon Spring Gang. Do you want to go before we eat? Or after we eat? Decide."

"…Are you saying we're going right now…?"
"Now that you're here, we have to go. If you're hungry, we can stop by an inn and eat before we go. If you can bear it, we can go to the Dragon Spring Gang first."
"……."
Biwol was dumbfounded.
Еn̊ ù mа
They were going to attack the Dragon Spring Gang now, and what was important was when they would eat?
It was the matter of attacking the Dragon Spring Gang, the hegemon of Mugang County, but he was talking as if they were just going out for a stroll and coming back.
It was absurd.
"Are you not going to answer?"

"L-let's go before we eat…. If we're going anyway…."
"Alright. A good choice. Food tastes better after a good fight."

"……."
With a dumbfounded face, she asked.
"How many people are there?"
Biwol naturally thought that Gu Hui would have more companions.
The Pavilion Master had ordered her to find out what organization Gu Hui belonged to.
Since they were attacking the Dragon Spring Gang, they would surely have gathered strong people.

Gu Hui tilted his head.
"What people?"
"The people who will join us to attack the Dragon Spring Gang. Are they in the estate now?"
Seeing that she couldn't feel any presence at all, Biwol guessed that there were incredible masters in the estate.
Gu Hui answered.
"There are none."

"Huh? What do you mean…."
"It's just me and Manhong."

Just one more person….
Biwol thought she had misheard.
But if that one person was a renowned master, the story would be different.
With anticipation, Biwol asked.

"…Then, where is that person named Manhong?"
"He's not a person. He's on the roof over there. Manhong."
Biwol's gaze turned to the roof.
Jo Manhong, who was sitting on the roof, nodded his head repeatedly.

"Kkiruk kkiroorooruk! (That's me! Hoho!)"
Seeing that, Biwol was at a loss for words.

'He's crazy… he's really crazy….'
Isn't this the same as saying he's going to face the Dragon Spring Gang alone?
Biwol let out a laugh. Then, thinking of her master, her expression became bleak.
'My master must be trusting this person….'
Her heart ached when she thought of her master, who would be disappointed to know this fact.
Gu Hui said softly.

"Now, lead the way, to the Dragon Spring Gang."

The main gate was shattered to pieces, and four gate guards were thrown into the inner courtyard.
A man walked into the inner courtyard through the dust. It was Gu Hui.
In the bushes dozens of feet away, Biwol was hiding with a nervous face.
On Biwol's shoulder sat Jo Manhong in the form of an eagle.

In the inner courtyard, seven hundred martial artists of the Dragon Spring Gang were lined up with intense eyes.
Gu Hui's gaze turned to the gate guard who had fallen to the ground.

Gu Hui's foot exploded on his head.
The skull was crushed, and blood and brain matter splattered on the ground.
The faces of the Dragon Spring Gang members contorted.
The courtyard was filled with the ominous killing intent of the gang members.

Gu Hui scanned the martial artists in the inner courtyard. A chilling smile played on his lips.
Prey was scattered everywhere.
