Reincarnated Swordmaster

Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village

I headed to where the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was with Seo Mun-hye. Zhuge Sa and Mang Ryang were outstanding schemers, but they lacked the strength to join the battle ahead, so it was decided that just the two of us would go. Dang San had yet to recover from his injuries, so he stayed at the base. The Great Sage had said he would wait at Mount Tai, again, so we arrived at Mount Tai's Heavenly Altar.

A short while later, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven appeared at Mount Tai's Heavenly Altar. He eyed me sullenly and spoke.

"It doesn't look like you've prepared much."

"I've done what I can."

I had spent a full day preparing every scheme with Zhuge Sa and Mang Ryang.

In truth, I had wanted to go with Gonggong when he retrieved the Earth Spirit from Dark Heaven Village, but Gonggong had clearly drawn a line between us. It was obvious he didn't want the hassle of bringing me along to breach Dark Heaven Village. If I'd had more time, I could have sweet-talked Gonggong into revealing the path to the Earth Spirit, but that hadn't panned out, which was a shame.

'Too tight on time... this life...'

I shook off the negative thought and gritted my teeth. This wasn't the time for complaints; I had to focus on the present.
