Chapter: 725
They believed in the security of the tower, but that could not stop the invasion of the Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol secretly hid in the Red Tree Pagoda at night when they were all asleep, and proceeded to find and kill each one of them. No one noticed the intrusion of Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol was the god of death.
He equally punished and killed all the warriors of the Red Tree Pagoda. Even Yulmok-ah, the owner of the Red Tree Pagoda, could not escape his punishment.
Still, he was better than the other warriors.
Because he had at least seen Pyo-wol�s face before he died. But that didn�t mean he had a proper fight against him.
The tower was a closed and safe space.
No one threatened them, nor did anyone challenge its authority.
Although the warriors had been training every day, it was nothing but water training to maintain their current physical condition and level. They didn�t have a sense of urgency.
As a result, their nerves were dulled.
That was the biggest reason why Yulmok-ah had been killed without much resistance. Or maybe it was because Pyo-wol�s assassination had developed that much.�
Well, the reason was not important.�
The important thing is that all those who protected Heukam disappeared.�
Until now, Heukam had been doing his best in finding helpers to shake off Pyo-wol. But now his movement has changed. He wasn�t trying to go anywhere else anymore, he was only moving in a straight line.
That could only mean one thing.
�He�s finally heading to the Xiaoleiyin Temple.�
There is only one action a person would take when they are cornered with nowhere to escape. It is to move desperately towards where you think you�re safest.
The safest place for Heukam was the Xiaoleiyin Temple.
The Xiaoleiyin Temple was his everything.
Sect leader Hyeolbul was there, as well as the other monks such as the Ten Monks of the Blood Thunder. Furthermore, there were also those who studied only the simple martial arts, and there were those who practiced poisons that other people could not even imagine.�
Above all, the results of Heukam�s research was in the Xiaoleiyin Temple. He believed that if he used the result of his research, he would surely be able to kill Pyo-wol.
Although Pyo-wol did not know Heukam�s inner thoughts, he could feel that he had something in mind.�
Pyo-wol didn�t leave any more traces after saving Won Ga-young. He had no more need for Jin Geum-woo. Pyo-wol thought that once Jin Geum-woo saved Won Ga-young, he would return back to Chengdu.
No matter how strong a person is, once they get past the difficulties they are experiencing, they will no longer care about other people�s affairs.
Because Pyo-wol knew the attributes of such people well, he thought that Jin Geum-woo would not be able to escape from belonging to that category either. So he stopped thinking about him and left no traces.
Pyo-wol matched his footsteps with Heukam using synchronization.
If Heukam would walk fast, Pyo-wol would also walk fast, and if the speed of Heukam slows down, Pyo-wol would adjust accordingly.
Heukam was also well aware that Pyo-wol is still chasing him. But knowing that he couldn�t shake him off, he just gave up and walked forward.
It was a very bizarre sight.
Heukam did not see Pyo-wol�s face even once, but other people such as herdsmen who are staying on the plains clearly saw Pyo-wol�s appearance. JrNovels.com
