Chapter: 923

The man in the room opened up a crumpled paper, which seemed more like a booklet, and read it.

[The Lord of the Demonic Cult. Call me Chun Yeowun.

First of all, I would like to apologize to you for hurting your son and the other leaders inside the Imperial palace.

However, I thought that if I didn’t do it, the leader of the Forces of Justice wouldn’t believe me, so I couldn’t help but make all the lords feel a little uncomfortable.

The Great Leader’s Oath will have to be made.

If that is done, I will safely release your son and the two others.

And I will also ask the emperor to consider Taoism in regards to diplomatic relations, in return I expect the Great Leader to do one thing for me.

Due to the incident in the Imperial palace, the succession plan may have failed and the leaders of the Blade God Six Martial clan might not appear at the festival.

Just like our academy, I heard that your faction is struggling with the problem of spies too.

This is why I came up with a good plan.

And for that, the Great Lord should...]

It was written in a crumbled booklet.

In order to deceive the enemies who placed spies, it was written that one should deceive the allies too, along with a message to cancel the alliance for a while.

Yi Mok was angry, but he wasn’t interested in taking such extreme steps.

However, while reflecting on the contents in the booklet-like letter, he thought that the Lord of the Demonic Cult was rather reasonable.

‘... this is no different than a gamble.’

Wheeing.

Yi Mok, who read the contents once again, burned it in the candle.

The booklet crumbled and disappeared into ashes.

His eyes gleamed strangely as he looked at it.

A deep valley of the Yeongja Bong peak, a mountain not far from the southwest of the main building of Forces of Justice.

A cave, deep in the dark valley, was covered with bushes.

It looked like a cave where wild beasts lived. It was quiet inside.

In front of the entrance of such a cave, an unidentified black long-haired man appeared with a bamboo hat.

The bamboo hat wearing man knelt down on the entrance of the cave which was empty and opened his mouth.

“I have a message for your orders.”

As soon as those words fell, a figure moved within the cave.

This figure, which gave out no energy whatsoever, was wearing a black mask which completely covered the eyes.

One wouldn’t be able to see what’s ahead, but the person didn’t seem comfortable.

“How did it go?”
