Chapter 559: Five Swords, Six Stars (6)
In the sound-cave of Whirling Wind Hollow, the Law of the Battle God was denied.
While the old woman known as Yeom Jeong, one of the Six Star Lords, and the Battle God’s strategist remained silent for reasons unknown—
—Yaryul King, come to Heolju. I won’t send a Great Warrior. I’ll personally break your bones.
—How many years have you even lived?
—There are Six Star Lords among those who fear the Battle God! Will you not come with me to kill Mugok?!
Many Northern Kings spoke to Jeong Yeon-shin, but he no longer responded.
From now on, a Northern King could no longer merely hide behind a Great Warrior with hands folded behind their back. At least, not the ones who had faced Jeong Yeon-shin.
But the Southern Emperor remained composed.
He didn’t lash out at Jeong Yeon-shin in a fit of rage, nor did he attempt to argue.
He merely spoke to the other Northern Kings in a calm voice—as though it didn’t matter who was listening, even his mortal enemy.
—I advise our Southern comrades: if you haven’t been swayed by Yaryul’s words, then we must secure full support from the Ice Palace of the North Sea. In the coming age, the Ice Palace Lord’s strength shall become a snowbound shield for the Battle God upon his return.
With those words that sounded more like an imperial decree, the Southern Emperor vanished from the sound-cave.
