"Who's with whom?"
"Have no idea."
Murong Xue raised an eyebrow and placed her hand on the whip at her waist.
Are you going or not?
Gu Moran didn't answer immediately.
I went over it in my mind first.
For someone at the Peak Second Rank, eleven Kage ninjas plus one Jonin should not be difficult for her.
The panel says there's no immediate danger to my life.
Going there will only make you a spectacle.
But if I don't go...
The people came seeking help. They were attacked on my territory, and I didn't even show my face. What kind of talk would that be?
This time, Goryeo is begging for the Great Yan, and for me, the king.
How about this?
Before the princess speaks, I'll offer this favor first; the terms and price will be set by me later.
Besides.
How did that idiot third prince appear in the original script?
Spreading rumors, sowing discord, night raids, suicide squads.
This king will not make his entrance like that.
Who says villains can't be heroes who save the damsel in distress?
I, the king, will stand on high ground, offer a clean helping hand, and then leave without even touching her clothes.
Let her figure it out herself.
Women all over the world have pretty much the same little thoughts.
Once you get them to start thinking about men, you're not far from getting them.
Not to mention that this time, with the added benefit of the suspension bridge effect, it's a piece of cake.
Hehehe!
Gu Moran stuffed the remaining half of the sesame seed cake into his mouth and patted the sesame seeds off his hands.
"I'm going to check out the excitement; you're not going."
"On what grounds?"
"I was worried you were in danger. Be good."
Murong Xue glared at him.
"You go by yourself?"
"Yes, I'll go and make my presence known."
What does "scanning your face" mean?
"Ahem, well... I'm going to make my presence known."
Murong Xue didn't understand.
Gu Moran didn't explain, put the walnuts into his sleeve, turned around and went down the city wall.
As he reached the corner of the stairs, he turned back and added a sentence.
Tell Li'er we'll settle the bill when we get back.
"Don't bother frowning and trying to figure out what I mean by using my connections. I heard that a woman has come this time, do you understand?"
"Ah? No wonder!"
I get it, you're going to show off!
Ling'er was right, Gu Moran, you are truly shameless!
"Come on, what's a face worth? I'll find you plenty of girlfriends!"
Below the stairs was a narrow passageway, at the end of which was the stable.
Next to the stables was a watchtower, made of wood, three zhang high. Standing on top, one could see the entire wasteland to the south.
Gu Moran the ground with his toes and was already on the roof of the stable.
One more step, and we passed the narrow passage.
The third point is about the top of the watchtower.
The fog is very thick to the south.
There is light in the fog.
White.
More and more mud bubbles appeared.
Kim Seon-a glanced down.
It throbbed and swelled, like some living creature buried beneath it breathing.
A whistle blew through the fog.
It's very sharp and long, like the chirping of a night owl.
The whistleblower stood on a rock on the breakwater, dressed in pure black ninja armor and wearing a crimson demon mask.
Jonin.
He wasn't among those seven people.
He remained on the reef, watching.
As soon as the whistle blew, the mud surface broke.
Four men in black emerged from the mud.
The four directions—east, west, south, and north—are directly opposite the four white tigers beside her.
They were covered in mud, muddy water dripping down their hair, but their eyes were wide open, mostly white with little black.
Each person is holding a pottery jar.
The mouth of the jar was sealed with an oilcloth, and bluish-black water was seeping out from under the oilcloth. The stench of rotten fish was coming from the jar.
The four people simultaneously ripped off the tarpaulin.
At the same time, smash the can over.
Kim Seon-a saw what was inside the jar.
It's blood.
It was black and thick, filled with bits of bone and hair.
Wa Foul Blood Technique.
Take the blood of a person who died a violent death, mix it with the venom of a sea snake and the menstrual blood of a woman, seal it in a jar, and let it ferment for forty-nine days.
It specifically targets and undermines righteousness.
The jar struck the protective aura three feet away and shattered.
Blood was splattered.
Zi--
It was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a hot pan.
Smoke, bluish-black in color, rose from the protective aura, billowing upwards in wisps, the stench so strong it could knock a person unconscious.
The white tiger to the east let out a low growl.
The white paint is fading where it was splashed on.
It turned a burnt yellow color.
The yellowish-brown color spread outwards, reaching the tiger's head and tail, causing the entire tiger's body to sway, like a reflection in water being disturbed.
The west side has turned yellow too.
South, north.
All four white tigers changed color.
Kim Seon-a felt a tightness in her chest.
That filthy force flowed back along with the protective energy, drilling from the limbs towards the heart. Wherever it went, the meridians there felt as if they had been scorched by fire.
Her body sank half an inch.
A mouthful of blood welled up in her throat, and she gritted her teeth and swallowed it back, but she didn't swallow it all, and a line of dark red still lingered at the corner of her mouth.
Your Highness!
The guard behind him called out.
Kim Seon-a didn't turn around; she needed to hold her breath.
The five ninjas in the mist moved.
They had been waiting for this moment.
Five iron chains flew out simultaneously, and five iron darts skimmed across the muddy surface, heading straight for her ankles.
The Jonin on the reef also moved.
He jumped off the rocks and landed in the mud, holding a long knife in his hand. The blade was black, and the edge gleamed with an eerie green light.
The two ninjas she had just knocked away got up as well.
One had blood all over its mouth, while the other emerged from the reeds, half of its face swollen.
With the four that emerged from the mud, the hands holding the jar were now free, so each person pulled out a short knife.
Eleven Kage ninjas and one Jonin.
Twelve people surrounded her.
Kim Seon-a -ah glanced around.
Behind him were guards, and behind the guards was a breakwater. Park Roejang lay prone at the bottom of the breakwater, holding his head.
If they back down, these twelve men will pounce on the guards.
With the guard dead, the official letter was lost as well.
Without the official letter, her trip was in vain.
It cannot be returned.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
A striking red line appeared on the plain white cuff.
She lifted her toes and lightly touched the muddy surface.
This point was not properly addressed.
People rise upwards.
It rose to five feet, then to ten feet.
Four scorched-yellow white tigers followed her upwards, circling her faster and faster until their shapes became obscured, leaving only scorched-yellow halos.
Something is growing in the center of the aperture.
It is a mountain.
The shadow of a mountain rose behind her; its peaks were steep, its summit covered in snow, and its slopes shrouded in clouds.
It was the mountain she had sat on for twelve years.
Lone Mountain Returns to Silence.
She had only used the ultimate killing move of the Eastern Peak Tiger Spirit Art once in twelve years.
That time, the cold pool at the summit of Mount Eastern Peak was thawed out.
Kim Seon-a clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her fingers interlaced.
The mountain shadows fell.
The four white tigers roared to the sky simultaneously.
The sound was more than just a tiger's roar; it was like a mountain collapsing.
A wave of air surged outwards from beneath her, causing the entire mud surface to cave in, creating a large pit thirty feet wide.
