Chapter: 706
An existence who thrives in the dark and someone who doesn�t hesitate to use any means to achieve his own purpose.
A person who exerts more power when he�s hidden than when he�s exposed.
Pyo-wol.
�He�s caught up.�
Pyo-wol�s reason for chasing him didn�t matter. What matters is that Pyo-wol is currently pursuing him.�
�Shit!�
Heukam spit out swear words.
If he was alone, he was confident that he would escape from Pyo-wol�s pursuit. But he had a burden called Won Ga-young. With Ga-young on his back, it was impossible to completely evade Pyo-wol�s pursuit.�
However, it was not easy for him to just abandon or kill Won Ga-young. If he did, all the painstaking efforts he had made so far would have been in vain.�
Above all, it doesn�t seem likely that Pyo-wol would give up chasing him even if he let go of Won Ga-young. Heukam knows that Pyo-wol is the kind of person who would chase his target even to the depths of hell.�
Perhaps, if Heukam had been in Pyo-wol�s position, he would probably have acted the same.
So, Heukam had only one option left.�
It was to arrive at the Xiaoleiyin Temple in the shortest time.
Xiaoleiyin Temple was his nest. Although he was not confident enough in dealing with Pyo-wol alone, the Xiaoleiyin Temple was filled with monks who had a stronger force.
No matter how strong Pyo-wol is, he would not be able to deal with them all.
With that being said, Heukam started running with all his power instead of wasting his time erasing his traces.�
Running with a person on his shoulder was not an easy task. Furthermore, what made it all the more difficult is traversing the snow-covered Western Plateau.�
But Heukam made the impossible possible with his superhuman patience and awareness.
Finally, as he descended from the Western Plateau, a vast plain with no end in sight appeared.�
It was an incredibly dramatic change. But it was a familiar scene for Heukam.�
He had finally arrived in Xizang, which could be called his inner courtyard.
�They should be tired by the moment they escape from the mountains.�
The eyes of Heukam shone viciously.

Jin Geum-woo�s appearance was a mess as he came out through the snow-covered forest. His clothes were torn everywhere, and his body was full of scratches from tree branches.
He didn�t feel any pain since it was just superficial wounds. But that didn�t stop him from having a tired expression.�
He couldn�t rest even for a moment because he was concerned about landslides and cliffs. But what bothered him more than anything else was the extreme cold.
The severe cold that penetrated his bone was so painful that it was hard to bear despite his strength and experience.�
The bitter cold gnawed at his stamina like an insect.
It was only then that Jin Geum-woo realized why the West Highlands was so notorious. He learned for the first time that going through a winter mountain without any preparations was almost close to suicide. JrNovels.com
