“Then let’s go now.”
Mujin, who had heard the entire situation from Guyangpae, got up.
But for some reason, Guyangpae caught Mujin as he was trying to leave the cave.
“There’s no need to do that. Why don’t you hide and endure until my wounds heal and then move?”
“Even if this place doesn’t get discovered in the meantime, wouldn’t a significant number of your scattered, hidden subordinates be discovered and killed?”
Goyangpae also knew that fact. Nevertheless, he had another reason for stopping Mujin.
“… … One, if you move like that, the damage to Shaolin will not be small, so why are you helping me like this?”
It was the same question that the Red Tiger Leader had felt.
The difference was that the Jeokhodanju had a strong will and was willing to sell his soul if it meant saving Jasigo and Guyangpae.
As the leader of the apostates, Guyangpae thought it would be dangerous to be indebted to Mujin and Shaolin, so he asked.
To his question, Mujin simply chuckled and gave a light laugh.
Why do you help Guyangpae so diligently?
If the person who helped Mujin was Do-wol-cheon, it may be because he is the ‘main character’.
But in the case of Guyangpae, that wasn’t the case at all.
Although I read the first part of the Mujin novel, I didn’t like it as much as the second part.
Mujin liked hard-working protagonists more than talented protagonists.
Even when I met him in person, I didn’t feel any affection for him because of that damn handsome face.
Still, the reason why he helped so diligently was simple.
“I think you’re mistaken. I’m not helping you. I’m trying to control Shincheon. Since the current leader of the Demonic Cult is Shincheon’s lackey, it’s easier to eradicate the Shincheon bugs that have taken root in the Demonic Cult if you’re alive.”
“… … It’s just a temporary alliance until the left and right guardians are driven out.”
Mujin nodded to Gu Yangpae’s words and added.
“That’s why we’re trying to move separately even more. If we move together, rumors will spread in the Demonic Cult that you’ve joined hands with us. If that happens while we’re driving out the Left and Right Guardians, you’ll never be able to return to the Demonic Cult.”
At Mujin’s words, Guyangpae coughed in vain and said, “Hmm.”
In fact, this was the biggest reason why Guyangpae was reluctant to seek Mujin’s help.
An apostate who receives help from the sect.
If he were to be labeled like that, he would never be able to return to the Demonic Cult and ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Demon under any pretext.
“Just by the fact that you came here, rumors of such things will already be spreading.”
“Even though it’s called ‘stealing bells with your ears plugged’, isn’t it better than hanging out together openly? At least you have someone to deny it.”
Well, I already got entangled with Danso Yoon and Jeokho Danju for a while while trying to save them, but I thought that if we started going our separate ways from now on, I might be able to just bully them.
“So, our Shaolin and shamans just heard rumors that the demonic cult was on the move and came here to kill them. We’ll go around saying the same thing, so heal your internal injuries first and then move.”
As Mujin finished speaking and was about to leave again, Guyangpae spoke with an awkward expression.
“Ahem. But, you guys aren’t used to being around other people, so why do you plan on joining the group again?”
In response to his question, Mujin pointed somewhere.
There, Mu-yul was lying asleep, snoring while listening to the boring story of Mu-jin and Guyang-pae.
“That guy has a freaking dog nose. No, he has a monkey nose.”
* * *
Mujin woke up Muyul and Lingling, who were snoring, and walked through the Namman Forest relying on their sense of smell.
“Can anyone just go there?”
“Anywhere that smells like Shaolin people.”
“okay!”
Mujin burst into laughter as he watched Muyul and Lingling trying to find their way out while their noses flared.
No matter when I saw him, he always looked trustworthy yet funny.
Regardless of the appearance of Mu-ryul, the two moved to find those who remained to act as bait.
In order to shake up the demonic cult on behalf of the Goyangpae and the apostates, it was necessary to rejoin for now.
“I think the smell is strongest from this side!”
How long would it have taken to move under Muyul’s guidance?
“Mujin-ah. It looks like you’re fighting.”
Moorul said this with an urgent expression and ran towards the southwest.
Mujin also runs after Muyul and Lingling for a while.
visor!
A jarring noise pierced Mujin’s ears. And soon, someone’s voice and groans began to be heard.
“I’ll go first! Follow me!”
Now that Mujin’s senses could sense the presence of people, Mujin ran ahead of Muyul.
To avoid the noise, he ran for a moment through the thick bushes of Namman. Soon, Mujin caught sight of those fighting beyond the bushes.
“Monk of the outer dynasty!”
There, the head of the outer party, Hyeon-Hyeon, and the head of the Jeokho group.
And a little less than ten Shaolin and shaman disciples were fighting the black-clad men.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the number of demons surrounding them was not that large.
However, some of those fighting looked very slow, as if they were injured.
“Mujin-ah!”
Likewise, when Hyun-Hyeon discovered Mu-Jin, he urgently called his name.
Mujin had already reached the vicinity of the Demonic Cult, which had formed a siege formation.
Kwajik!
From the side of the demon cult member that had been touched by Mujin’s fist, an eerie sound that should not come from a human body rang out.
When a demon cultist collapsed, vomiting blood, with his entire internal organs bursting out along with his ribs.

He dug into the demon cultist who was swinging his sword right next to Mujin, who had already retrieved the right hand he had swung.
“You shouldn’t bully older people!”
At that moment, Mu-Ryul and Ling-Ling also joined the war and started swinging their arms and legs.
“Hehe!”
“Ukki!”
Unlike the serious atmosphere of the battlefield, when the two began to fight, there was an atmosphere that seemed to be mocking each other.
When the cultist swung his axe, he dodged it by bending his knees and waist.
puck!
Muyul straightened his bent back and knees, and used that elasticity to strike the stomach of the man who swung the axe with his forehead.
“Hehehe!”
Moo-ryul smiled happily when the technology he had created worked.
It was an imitation of the method used by Mankur in the past to attack Wujin.
It’s like a giant snake flying while curling up and stretching out like a dragon.
“Ukki ukki ukki!!”
Lingling, who was climbing on top of that neck, shouted like a beast princess and swung her arms madly, unleashing a series of attacks.
It was meant to imitate the combined efforts of the Beast Princess and Mankur, but it was unclear why Mu-yul was imitating the animal Mankur and why the monkey Ling-ling was imitating the Beast Princess.
Anyway, thanks to the joining of Mujin, Muyul, and Lingling, they were able to clean up the demon cult without much difficulty.
“Monk Oedangju. What happened?”
Those who served as bait numbered seventy, including the Red Tiger Corps, so why are only fifteen left?
Mujin asked with an anxious face, but instead of answering the question, Ambassador Hyeonhyeon brought up a different story.
“Let’s get out of here first. There’s a risk that we’ll be pursued again soon. There are a lot of injured people right now, so if the chase continues, it’ll be dangerous.”
At Ambassador Hyeonhyeon’s words, Mujin, Muyul, and Lingling, who were in the best condition, began to support the injured.
It was a bit of a misnomer. Except for Mujin and Muyul, all of them were injured.
There were four people who were seriously injured, although none of them were in immediate danger of dying, and the rest were also bleeding from various parts of their bodies.
Mujin carried two seriously injured people, and Muyul and Lingling each carried one person.
It was quite a strange sight to see a tiny Lingling, only about half the height of Muyul, carrying a person on her back.
It felt like my legs were dragging.
But since I was in a situation where I needed to borrow a cat’s paw right away, I couldn’t refuse the monkey’s help.
When it seemed like he was ready to move, Hyun-Hyeon looked at the Red Tiger Leader.
And the leader of the enemy group took the lead and began to lead the way.
After a while of starting to move, Mujin asked again, having somehow managed to escape the battlefield.
“Monk Oedangju. Why are there only ten people left?”
“We split into groups of about ten to scatter the pursuers.”
Mujin, who had been worried that they might all be dead, finally let out a sigh of relief.
But that was only for a moment.
As he saw them surrounded, Mujin began to worry that perhaps all of them who were scattered were being defeated individually.
“I heard that there are several hiding places that the apostates have found or created in case of an emergency. Don’t worry, they probably all moved to different hiding places.”
“But, couldn’t they also have been caught by their pursuers?”
“We left last on purpose to give others time to hide. We also left a trail behind to tell them to chase us. The more we were caught, the more likely it was that the others would be safe.”
“ah…….”
Mujin let out an exclamation of admiration without realizing it.
‘In the midst of such an emergency, you are trying to use yourself as a sacrificial lamb.’
As the person in charge of the expedition to Namman, it was no different from saying that he had taken it upon himself to become a scapegoat.
* * *
Perhaps because they had broken through the encirclement once, they were able to reach the hideout without encountering any pursuers.
As it was a place prepared in case of an emergency, it was equipped with the minimum necessary equipment, just like the place where Guyangpae was hiding.
Immediately after completing first aid using the medicine, water, and emergency medicine that each person was carrying.
Mujin raised his body.
“Then we will move on to find the others. I think it would be best for you to rest for a while and take care of your injuries.”
Hyun-Hyeon shook his head at Mu-Jin’s words.
“The sun has already risen. It’s dangerous to move around after staying up all night, Mujin.”
“This much is easy, Master.”
“Even if you’re okay, don’t those you’ve visited need some rest? And it’s not easy to move around secretly during these bright hours, so how about taking a short break and moving around in the evening?”
“……All right.”
Mujin was anxious because he was worried about the lives of the others who were scattered, but he eventually accepted Hyeonhyeon’s cool-headed judgment.
Come to think of it, it was a story that Mujin had often heard during his time in the military. That getting enough rest was also part of combat.
Mujin, who had finally rested during the day with the wounded, got up again as the sun began to set.
And then, together with Muyul, we move forward for a moment, chasing the unique scent of Shaolin.
“Mujin-ah. I smell blood.”
“The smell of blood?”
Asking that question, Mujin thought for a moment.
‘Has there been a battle nearby?’
If a battle had taken place during this time, it was likely between the demonic cult and his party, or between the demonic cult and apostates.
“Where?”
Thinking that it might be possible, Mujin decided to move towards that direction first.
For a while, I moved cautiously through the bushes, relying on my sense of smell.
Soon they reached a cave hidden among some bushes.
And when they arrived near the cave, Mujin could now smell the scent of blood.
No, it wasn’t just something you could smell, it was a very strong smell of blood.
However, despite the strong smell of blood, no signs of life were felt inside the cave.
In the midst of his uneasy mood, Mujin carefully entered the cave, unfolding his dark shadow and ghostly light just in case.
“……crazy.”
And what Mujin saw were the sight of dead corpses with their entire bodies mutilated and blood and internal organs scattered about.
‘no way?’
Mujin was momentarily overcome with anxiety, but fortunately or unfortunately, the clothes worn by the slaughtered corpses were all very similar to those worn by the Red Tigers.
It seemed that he was one of the apostate groups that had scattered from the Guyangpae.
And this cave seemed to be the hiding place where they were hiding.
Although it is said that a person’s life is not of equal importance, Mujin sighed in relief at the fact that the person was not from Shaolin, but something strange appeared in his eyes.
“Mummy?”
It was lying among the corpses of those who had died miserably, and was commonly called a Moknaei (木乃伊) in martial arts.
Of course, if you’ve lost too much blood, you might end up looking like that.
but.
‘There are no wounds.’
There were no wounds on his neck, nor any traces of blood.
And above all else.
“Mujin-ah. Doesn’t that corpse look like a child?”
No matter how much blood was lost and how much it shrank, an adult’s corpse could not be that small.
