Chapter 109: Inexperienced Forest Purge (2)
Inexperienced Forest Exterminator, thats what they name him.
A peddler who had come all the way in which from Hubei Province to Kaifeng introduced up the story.
Currently, the inspections had develop into unusually strict, inflicting lengthy traces to type on the gates of Kaifeng Metropolis.
In occasions like these, there was nothing higher to cross the time than gathering collectively and sharing rumors.
They are saying hes already smashed thirty bandit strongholds.
I heard it was fifty.
Rumors unfold sooner and have become extra sensational the extra provocative they have been.
Are there even orthodox martial artists today who undertake Inexperienced Forest subjugation? Everybody simply nods to one another and passes by.
Thats why the bandit strongholds have been rising currently. Its a free-for-all. Anyway, the Murim Alliance simply struts round with their chins up, doing nothing
Shh, what if somebody hears you?
The peddler clammed up at that remark.
Talking unwell of the Murim Alliance in Kaifeng might result in critical hassle.
Anyway its lucky that such martial artists nonetheless exist.
However, I’ve my reservations. To be known as an Exterminator, in any case. Would such a dreadful nickname connect for no motive? He should be unusually merciless.
Proper. And its not only one particular person, however three. Three brothers, they are saying. Three brothers.
The peddlers wore hesitant expressions. Whereas subjugating bandits within the Inexperienced Forest was a very good deed, a merciless martial artist was simply as harmful.
Possibly theyre intoxicated with killing, attacking these bandits with out consequence? Like a assassin.
A assassin That could be doable
Simply then, somebody positioned a hand on their shoulders.
Turning round, the peddler was startled to see a tall younger man trying down at him.
Wh-what is it!
Hes not a assassin.
What are you speaking about all of the sudden
The younger swordsman with a youthful face however a big construct was none aside from Jun Myung, the Inexperienced Forest Exterminator himself.
His face, as soon as a bit naive, bore many scars from actual fight expertise.
And likewise.
Somebody approached subsequent to the peddler.
This time, it was a younger swordswoman. It was Yu Su-rin.
Hes not our brother both.
That Um, are you by any probability
If you happen to hear extra about this Inexperienced Forest Exterminator, clarify it correctly. We often dont kill, however allow them to stay.
Son Hee-il, their nice senior brother, appeared and stated so.
The peddlers nodded their heads in a fluster, visibly tense.
Previously, it might need been totally different, however now an inexplicable sense of intimidation was felt from these third-generation disciples.
The association by the Azure Forests esteemed elders for them to realize actual fight expertise had labored remarkably properly.
Because the peddlers quietly slipped away, the group let loose a groan.
To have our first nickname be Inexperienced Forest Exterminator. How did the rumor unfold so shortly when weve simply arrived?
And why brothers of all issues Im a lady.
Solely Jun Myung had a barely totally different take.
To be sincere, its type of cool Among the many present disciples, none have gained a nickname so shortly. The phrase Inexperienced Forest could be so-so, however Exterminator is sort of
What sort of style is that! Yu Su-rin scolded Jun Myung.
Simply then, Jin Ri-yeon approached them. She was the one who had given them the chance to earn their nicknames.
I used to be questioning what you have been doing, and right here you might be.
In contrast to the third-generation disciples, Jin Ri-yeons situation was no totally different from after they first left the Azure Forest.
There was no blood on her garments, and her tied-up hair was neat.
It was a degree of self-management worthy of emulation.
The inspections appear unusually strict. We must always head again quickly.
Sure.
Certainly, the road to cross by way of town gate confirmed no signal of shortening.
Even contemplating that Kaifeng was the provincial capital of Henan, this was extreme.
Might there have been some incident?
Possibly its as a result of we eradicated too many bandits
That cant be it. Hmm
It was not possible to understand it was Jin Ri-yeon.
The group had been standing in line on the metropolis gate for fairly some time.
That they had arrived when the solar was excessive within the sky, however now the gradual sundown had begun.
It was concerning the time when the sky was fully dyed purple.
Curses erupted from the entrance of the road.
What do you imply? Weve been ready right here for thus lengthy.
What are we purported to do now!
It was a degree the place only some folks remained in entrance of them within the line.
The officers and the peddlers on the entrance started to quarrel heatedly.
The group seemed ahead anxiously.
Whats occurring?
Sick go and discover out.
Upon listening to Jin Ri-yeons muttering, the service provider group chief left to evaluate the state of affairs.
When he returned, his expression had hardened much more.
Theres an issue. We cant enter town anymore immediately.
What?
It was a disconcerting piece of reports. The service provider group chief sighed deeply earlier than explaining.
Its an order from the mayor. In the meanwhile, town gates are to be closed after sundown.
What might have occurred
They wouldnt inform me a lot once I requested. Tsk.
In the event that they couldnt enter town now, they’d don’t have any selection however to spend the night time exterior.
Simply this morning, the third-generation disciples had been concerned in a skirmish at a bandit stronghold, coated in blood and grime.
Lastly, Son Hee-il burst out in frustration.
Rattling it! What sort of nonsensical state of affairs is that this!
It wasnt an excessive curse, nor was it directed at anybody specifically.
Nevertheless, coincidentally, somebody overheard it.
Jin Ri-yeon, who had as soon as met the Three Virtues Sword Hero, was deeply troubled by the information of his demise.
Thats a critical matter certainly.
Please confirm this with the Murim Alliance.
Ah, weve arrived. Thanks for guiding us right here.
Officer Jang had gone out of his method to escort Jin Ri-yeon and the third-generation disciples to the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.
Then, welcome to Kaifeng.
He left with a smile on his face.
The third-generation disciples additionally smiled and bid him farewell.
Now, we will lastly discover the Murim Alliance! Jun Myung stated excitedly.
Nevertheless, it appeared their luck had run out for the day.
The guard on the primary gate of the Murim Alliance, even after seeing the invitation from the Dragon-Phoenix Convention, didn’t permit them entry.
After asking them to attend a second, the guard quickly returned with a middle-aged man.
He was the secretary answerable for reception duties on the Murim Alliance.
Ah, isnt this Miss Jin Ri-yeon?
Sure, thats appropriate.
Regardless of recognizing Jin Ri-yeon, he seemed troubled.
At present, theres an pressing matter contained in the Alliance, so weve locked the doorways.
Is it due to that fiend?
Oh, youve heard.
Jin Ri-yeon and the third-generation disciples had really arrived sooner than the scheduled Dragon-Phoenix Convention occasion.
We have to resolve that difficulty earlier than the Dragon-Phoenix Convention begins. We havent but ready lodging for the friends.
For the Murim Alliance, it will be higher to resolve the fiend downside earlier than all of the next-generation successors from throughout the Central Plains arrived.
Even to appease the enraged governor of Henan Province.
Might you keep at an inn till then? After all, the Alliance will cowl your bills.
The third-generation disciples let loose a sigh of aid.
It was a lucky flip of occasions. How typically would these folks, who had lived all their lives within the mountains, get to expertise a metropolis like Kaifeng?
They might now get to get pleasure from scrumptious meals in a lavish inn. Much more, the Murim Alliance would cowl their bills.
Understood. Then, till when
We’ll inform you.
The secretary kindly really useful just a few inns recognized for his or her scrumptious meals.
Ive confirmed the invitation, so Sick document the go to of the Azure Forest disciples. Then, please calm down and luxuriate in exploring Kaifeng.
Sure, thanks.
Simply dont go exterior town gates until needed. That face plunderer appears to be transferring stealthily round Kaifeng. One other martial artist who got here for the Dragon-Phoenix Convention was attacked just a few days in the past Please watch out.
Jin Ri-yeon and her group turned to depart, accompanied by the secretarys farewells.
The third-generation disciples faces lit up with pleasure as they requested concerning the meals in Kaifeng.
Out of the blue, Jin Ri-yeon spoke with concern, I ponder if Yi-gang is alright?
Yi-gang and Dam Hyun had left later than the third-generation disciples.
Having simply heard such information from the Murim Alliances secretary, she was apprehensive about her youngest junior brother.
Possibly you dont want to fret a lot?
Nevertheless, Yu Su-rin and the opposite third-generation disciples didnt appear apprehensive in any respect.
Even when that fiend is a martial grasp, with Senior Yi-gang and Senior Dam Hyun there
Proper, proper.
To Jin Ri-yeon, Yi-gang may seem to be a younger junior brother. However to them, he was a formidable grasp.
Their perceptions of Yi-gang have been vastly totally different.
Jin Ri-yeon contemplated for a second earlier than nodding.
No less than they wont get caught.
She too knew that Dam Hyun and Yi-gang have been removed from odd.
Yu Su-rin clicked her tongue and stated, Who of their proper thoughts would pores and skin peoples faces?
Her face confirmed no concern for Yi-gang.
In the meantime, in Yanling County of Henan Province.
Not too removed from Kaifeng, Yi-gang and Dam Hyun had arrived on this comparatively developed metropolis.
On an evening with horrible climate and heavy rain, a big three-story inn was lit up with lanterns, illuminating the darkish night time.
Because the third-generation disciples guessed, Yi-gang and Dam Hyun had a really comfy journey.
Yi-gang, being fairly rich, had rented a luxurious horse-drawn carriage for a snug journey.
That they had at all times stayed in inns fairly than tenting out and tried native specialty dishes every day.
The identical occurred in Yanling County. Yi-gang and Dam Hyun stayed in an inn, every in a position to afford a single room with their ample journey funds.
And now, Dam Hyun was in somebody elses room.
The thunder was deafening.
Increase
Lightning flashed, illuminating Dam Hyuns face.
His pale face seemed downwards.
Curiously, the window was open amidst the heavy rain, inflicting droplets to splatter in every single place.
But, Dam Hyun stood frozen, making no try and keep away from the rain.
Crack!
One other bolt of lightning struck close by.
The shut strike briefly lit up the whole room.
Dam Hyun and the particular person mendacity at his ft.
And the lacking pores and skin of that individuals face, with the grotesquely uncovered eyeballs and nostrils.
At that second, the door behind Dam Hyun creaked open.
The one who peeked in was Yi-gang.
Senior Brother, why are you in somebody elses room
Yi-gang hesitated, then seemed down.
There lay a corpse with its face skinned.
He glanced backwards and forwards a number of occasions between the corpse and Dam Hyuns face.
What the hell!
It wasnt me!
Dam Hyun shortly raised his fingers.
His demeanor was earnest and determined.
It actually wasnt me!
