The base of the Forces of Justice.
The main conference venue where all major matters of the Forces of Justice and the Yulin were decided.
Due to keeping the other major powers in check and the other major roles they played as one of the three major factions, the leaders couldnt gather for quite some time.
Moreover, especially since the leaders were scrambling to uncover the Blade God Six Martial clans plan, it took even more time.
However, despite waiting such a long time, the leaders of the Forces of Justice had gathered.
The number of leaders gathered couldnt be compared to when they were discussing the non-aggression treaty.
At the top was the seat of the Great Leader.
On either side of him were foreign affairs Gam Woon-seo and internal affairs Ha Ji-jin.
At the first seat on the right side of the table, people were seated in sequential order by military rank.
1st leader, Shanxi Sword Master, Mu Gu-cheon
2nd leader, Shaolin Temples head, Saint Gak-yeon.
4th leader, Hangsan clan, under the Shaolin Temple, Monk Sathi.
5th leader, Wudang clan, Hyun Jinja.
6th leader, Mount Hua clan, Poong Chungwun.
8th leader, Head of the Four Skies clan, Dang Pil-yeon.
10th leader, Elder of the Jeom Jang clan, Ho Hyeon-ja
11th leader, Beggars association head, Hong Palwoo
12th leader, Elder of the Kong Tong clan, Elder Cheong-su.
13th leader, Jegal clan head, Jegal Young.
14th leader, Jongnam clan, Elder Jeokyang.
16th leader, Jinju family head, Yeon Young-in.
17th leader, Habuk clans head, Peng-gyu
In addition to the leaders and heads of each clan, each combat group that held power stood in the room.
The only ones who couldnt attend were four leaders and two commanders.
Of course, they had reasons for not being able to attend.
They were 7th leader Moyong Kang, who hadnt returned from the North, Hwang Bo-neung, who died in the North Sea, the head of the Nam Gung clan who died in the Jin Castle, and the 9th leader who was killed in a surprise attack by the Blade God Six Martial clan in his province.
And the two commanders who didnt attend were Yeon Buso, who was depressed, and Kang Soah, who went to the North and lost his life.
The atmosphere isnt that serious.
Poong Chungwun of the Mount Hua clan thought while looking at the room.
The heads of each clan had gathered.
With such strong people gathered, the atmosphere shouldve been intense.
Why were we summoned so urgently? What happened?
For the ones who didnt know, it was suspenseful, so they wondered why.
The Great Leader looked at all the leaders with a hardened expression.
1st leader Mu Gu-cheon, who was the closest to Yi Mok, was the one who opened his mouth.
Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to the leaders and commanders who responded to the emergency order. We dont have much time, so Ill get right to the point.
Woong!
Everyone knew that something had happened.
What was the reason for such an emergency meeting that one of the five strongest warriors, Yi Mok, had to call for them right away?
Come in.
As the order from Yi Mok fell, a man in a black uniform entered the room.
The man, with half white hair and drooping eyes, was Mak Wijong, the temporary captain of the Black Shadow group.
Why is it that person?
Lieutenant Mak? Wasnt he part of the norths contingent?
A few people who knew him were puzzled.
No one was allowed to attend the meetings of the leaders unless they were a commander or above.
Didnt he leave for the North Sea with Commander Kang?
In their last meeting, there were a few leaders who knew that Kang Soah, the second son of Yi Mok, was sent to the North Sea as the leader of the contingent.
But the contingent hadnt returned, so why was this man back?
Thud!
The new commander of the Black Shadow group, Mak Wijong, greets the leaders.
Commander?
Everyone was shocked, unable to understand what happened.
The commander of the Black Shadow group is Kang Soah, and he was the one who created the group, there was no way he would give up the title.
Unless he died.
Great Leader, what does this mean?
2nd leader, Gak-yeon, was asking the question when Yi Mok cut off his words.
First, we will listen to his report.
Amitabha.
It was embarrassing that he was asked to be quiet, so Gak-yeon kept mumbling sutras.
Unless something happened, there was no way that their Great Leader would act as such.
At that, Mak Wijong spoke.
I will get to the main point. We have found the base of the Blade God Six Martial clan!
Blade God Six Martial clan!!!
Mumble
Whispering and mumbling rose at the unexpected news.
After a portion of their province was taken away, the leaders tried their best to find their base.
Despite creating several troops, everyone went missing, and no one managed to get any information.
At that moment, one leader raised his hand while speaking.
Hold your horses. Now, the new commander, Commander Mak, found something that no leader has been able to find until now?
At that, Mak Wijong spoke with a light smile.
Yes. Leader.
Where the hell is this so-called place?
Peng-gyu, the head of the Peng family, who lost his arm after meeting Chun Yeowun in the Imperial Palace, asked.
The other leaders focused on Mak Wijong, wondering what his answer would be.
As everyone looked at him, waiting for an answer, he pointed to Zhejiang province, which was under the Yulin's territory.
Its right here.
Isnt that Mount Huang?
The place where Mak Wijong pointed to was Mount Huang of Zhejiang province.
A scenic spot, but the mountains around it were rough and surrounded by steep peaks.
If it was there, then it was the best place to hide their base.
Ah! This is why the emergency meeting was issued?
All the leaders now understood the reason.
If what they found was indeed true, it made sense to call in all the leaders.
If the base could be identified for sure, which no one knew until now, Yulin could wage war.
Commander Mak! Thats great. This achievement deserves great praise!
Jegal Young, the head of the Jegal clan, spoke in an excited voice.
But not everyone believed that.
Hong Palwoo spoke.
How did Commander Mak find their base? Up until now, even the beggars association members over there always ended up dying.
After striking the forts of Yulin, the defense against the Blade God Six Martial clan had become firm.
Even the beggars, who were known to be information gatherers, were killed or disappeared after entering the Zhejiang province, which was why he felt suspicious about it.
I understand why you think that way. But please see this first, leader.
At the request of Mak Wijong, the Great Leader nodded his head.
As the room doors opened, two men came in with something much larger than an average cart.
Th-this?
Goodness!
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
What was in the cart was the head of the dragon with his eyes turned over.
Hyun Jin-ja, a leader, shouted in shock.
The Dragon Turtle!
It was the head of the dead dragon.
The heads size itself resembled the legends of the dragon.
Amitabha!
Gak-yeon closed his eyes at the sight.
Most of the other leaders who saw it got up from their seats to get a better look at the severed head of the dragon.
Drrr!
It wasnt the end of the meeting.
Another cart came in, loaded with something hidden in woven straw cloth, decomposing corpses were inside it.
However, each body was unique.
H-head is?
Their heads exploded.
Euk!
Everyone covered their noses at the same time.
Hong Palwoo burst out at the sight of dead corpses.
What the hell are these corpses?
Theyre members, masters of the Blade God Six Martial clan.
!?
Hong Palwoo, who was shocked, approached the corpses at the word master.
There was a simple way to know if one was from the Blade God Six Martial clan.
Those belonging to the clan, the ones who were masters, had restrictions placed on them, making sure that no information would leak even when captured.
Tak!
Hong Palwoos eyes trembled as one hand covered his nose, and the other looked for the pulse.
The same symptoms that the other corpses of the Blade God Six martial clan in the past had.
true. He is right.
When the verification was done, the room became noisy.
At that, Yi Mok spoke in a loud voice.
I hope everyone quiets down and goes back to their seats!
At the loud order from Yi Mok, everyone went back to their seats, and the room became silent.
When it became silent, Yi Mok brought up the main topic.
As we have all seen, there is the head of the dragon and then corpses of the Blade God Six Martial clan. Commander Mak of the Black Shadow group has successfully tracked those who were fleeing from the North Sea and found the base of that beastly clan and captured the dragons head.
At the brief praise from the Great Leader, Mak Wijong nodded his head.
It wasnt something to be happy about.
Certainly, according to the words of the Great Leader, it was indeed a great achievement for the Forces of Justice.
It was something that no one else has ever accompanied.
The evidence is solid, but I have a question.
