Chapter 136
The next day, the Sect Leader of Mount Hua returned straight to Mount Hua.
He said it would take seven days for the boils to fully return to their previous severity and that he would spend that time alone to gather his thoughts.
In the meantime, Choryeon began analyzing and preparing the poison compound. The current quantity was far too insufficient to test all of Mount Hua’s disciples for hypnosis.
A formal letter was finally sent to Mount Hua to notify them of the Namgoong Clan’s visit.
It was made to appear as if they were only now departing from Anhui, so that by the time the Sect Leader’s boils worsened, they would be arriving at Mount Hua.
Namgoong Mucheon gave orders to the Black Dragon Division.
"While the poison is being prepared, you are to build rapport with Mount Hua’s first-generation disciples. When they are scattered, you will be responsible for them."
The Black Dragon Division’s martial level was likely on par with Mount Hua’s first-generation disciples.
Once the disciples dispersed to search for herbs, Namgoong Mucheon would handle the elders, while the Black Dragon Division had to oversee the first-generation disciples—and even the second-generation disciples as needed.
If only we had more reinforcements.
To prepare for any unforeseen situation, he sent the fastest messenger hawk to the main household, instructing Namgoong Mugang to bring all forces, leaving behind only the minimum required to protect the estate.
Having the Bipung Division or the White Dragon Division would have been ideal, but given the current constraints, this was the best available plan.
