Chapter: 1290

Yoo Beom-ryeo, who was in charge of the operation, had only let a measly number of warriors stay behind to defend each clan, and every elite who could be found was gathered and sent to Changbai Mountain.

“I also share the same opinion as Monk Sathi. It would have been better to give more people to the unit raiding their base.”

At those words, Hong Palwoo spoke.

“Despite hearing about the operation, I don’t understand why so much power is being sent with us.”

“Leader Hong Palwoo. It isn’t like that. The reason that so many people are being sent to the mountain is that the core has to be obtained by us...”

It wasn’t understandable.

Even though the spirit beasts are known to be strong, with the force of Yulin, they would be able to get to the core in less than half a day.

Gak-yeon, who was listening to it, spoke.

“Amitabha. Leader Ho might not be familiar as it hasn’t been long since you turned into a leader.”

“What do you mean? Saint?”

“Why do you think that all the top-rank warriors and the leaders are being pushed to Changbai Mountain?”

“T-to persuade the guardian of Changbai Mountain? Even if he is one of the Five strongest warri...”

“It has nothing to do with being the five strongest warriors.”

Before he could finish, Hong Palwoo intervened.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“That monster is locked up in Changbai Mountain and didn’t take a single step out of there. If that monster decided to move in earnest, maybe that monster would be called the best in Wulin.”

“The best... in Wulin?”

Hong Palwoo’s answer made Ho Hyeon-ja doubt his ears.

He knew that this monster was the oldest of the five strongest warriors.

However, he could understand why Yi Mok and the other leaders were so scared of this person.

“Honestly, it isn’t just about the talks, but if the Great Leader was right, our plan isn’t just to convince him, as he is someone that can deal with the Demon God.”

It was one of the three orders they received from Yoo Beom-ryeo.

The first, to persuade ‘the man’ who guards the mountain, the second, obtain the core of the spirit beast, and the third, create a trap where the Demonic Cult and the Blade God Six Martial clan would be attacked.

That’s the most ideal scheme, but all this would only be possible if that monster agrees.

“I can see it.”

While they were having a conversation, 16th leader Yeon Young-in spoke while looking at the vast mountain.

In the distance, the huge white peaks of Changbai Mountain began to rise.

If they followed the path, they would soon enter the mountain.

“I hope that he’ll join our side.”

“I hope he gets convinced.”
