Chapter: 1293

They didn’t want what they were thinking to turn out to be true.

The advance squad seemed to have failed in persuasion and died at the hands of the person who thought that the unit had malicious intentions.

That was when Hong Palwoo sent a message.

[... I, I think that the plan should be abandoned.]

It didn’t seem like they would be able to persuade him anytime soon.

1st leader and commander, Mu Gu-cheon, didn’t share his thoughts, but his hand was trembling while holding the sword on his waist.

Mu Gu-cheon, who was ready to leave, looked at the other leaders, and they nodded in agreement, and he spoke to the man blocking their path.

“Are you the God of the East, Ark Wui? I am Mu Gu-cheon, leader of the Forces of Justice and the Shanxi Sword Master.”

Even if a conflict arises, they wanted to try negotiating one more time.

Even if the advance squad failed to convince him and got annihilated, bringing the God of the East to their side despite the losses didn’t seem like a bad idea, he was an ally they wanted.

It was because this man could compete against the Demon God, Chun Yeowun and the Blade Lord.

‘We’re different from the two hundred people in the advance squad.’

The two hundred elite warriors in the advance squad were dead.

Now there weren’t any first-class elite warriors, but they had 5000 men with them.

Even if the God of the East was skilled, he wouldn’t attack them in haste.

‘Why isn’t he saying anything?’

The man didn’t respond but turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of Changbai Mountain.

As if he was conscious of something.

Although he didn’t affirm his identity, he didn’t deny it either, so Mu Gu-cheon brought up the main topic right away.

“You must have heard what our intentions are from the man leading the advance squad?”

Looking at the blood, it was evident that he met with the warriors.

However, if Mu Gu-cheon asked him to take responsibility, confrontation might happen, so he only mentioned them.

“God of the East. There seems to have been some kind of misunderstanding, but we will do our best to prevent future crisis...”

“Leave.”

‘!?’

That was the first time the man in the bamboo hat had spoken.

The problem was that his words were more like a warning.

“Lord. As you might have heard, there are forces aiming for the spirit beast of...”

“Leave right now.”

‘... he isn’t listening.’
