Chapter 327
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
The next day, I left Jinrang Valley together with Mang Ryang and Jin So-cheong. Cheon Woo-jin decided to stay behind to guard the valley while sealing the Jeon Gal Temple. We used our flying technique to slip into the city of Luoyang and secured separate lodgings. Mang Ryang ordered a cup of tea at the inn and spoke up.
“As I mentioned yesterday, I’m thinking of meeting Han Baekryeong right away, even today.”
“The reason for rushing is to slow down Hwasin-ryu’s response, right?”
“That’s right. It’s only been a day or two since the incident, so now is the best time. Hwasin-ryu has likely heard the news by now, but they haven’t grasped the full details yet, making this the perfect moment for negotiations.”
Mang Ryang continued after that reply.
“Negotiating with someone who has all the accurate information piled up is foolish. The ideal opponent is one scrambling with vague intel. We have to move before they uncover the full truth of the incident.”
The discussion from yesterday was already settled. He was bringing it up again just to double-check for any contingencies. I glanced at Jin So-cheong and thought to myself.
‘Well, with Jin So-cheong here, it should be fine.’
