Chapter 609: Chapter 303 The Alley Hears the Barking Dog, No One Returns in the Wind and Snow_2

Quan Sangin didn’t complain. Against four enemies, Lin Baici killed two by himself, and the Muscle Buddha was summoned by him using Taboo things, so naturally, the head count was his. Killing one more enemy himself was fair and square.

In fact, given Lin Baici’s current status, even if he did nothing but gave commands, without any military exploits, Quan Sangin would still comply. Yet, as he charged forward, there was an even swifter figure that caught up to the panic-stricken Sato Takeshi.

Ah!

Sato Takeshi screamed, ready to take a hostage, but when Xia Hongyao appeared in front of him, she split into two as if she could clone herself, one to the left and one to the right, rushing past Sato Takeshi.

Sato Takeshi was stunned for a moment, and then he was gone.

The black blade of the High Ponytail’s Dagger had sliced through his neck.

By the time Quan Sangin arrived, thud, Sato Takeshi’s head had fallen to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

Kim Jinsoo and several others rushed over, ready to join the battle, but the fight was already over.

No one returns in the snowy wind as the alley dogs bark.

Achoo!

Zheng Zhonggen rubbed his nose: "They’re all dead? You guys kill too fast."

Zheng Zhonggen glanced at Lin Baici, frightened!

From the manner of these corpses’ deaths, he could tell that it wasn’t Quan Sangin’s handiwork.

Kim Myungjin arrived and glanced at the battlefield: "Oppa, what do we do now? Should we go for a killing spree?"

"Definitely. Otherwise, if that Onmyoji waits a whole night and doesn’t see his teammates return, he’ll surely guess something has gone wrong. The counterattack will be fierce. It’s better to kill them now and catch them off guard!"

"But the opponent is inside the royal palace..."

Kim Myungjin worried that the ancient royal palace was, in people’s minds, necessarily heavily guarded and bristling with imperial troops.

"We have to face it sooner or later!"

Kim Jinsoo didn’t want to get ambushed, the bizarre rules of contamination, unpredictable, and impossible to guard against.

Everyone returned to the inn.

Yi Jisheng herded everyone into the hall for surveillance to prevent them from escaping and leaking crucial information.

Lin Baici’s luggage was all in the Black Tripod Bowl, ready to go at a moment’s notice, but Quan Sangin and the others had to go back to their rooms for their travel bags, containing all their belongings.

"I’m so envious of God Lin’s space forbidden items. So convenient."

Kim Jinsoo sighed, then realized after she spoke that everyone present was an ally. Calling Lin Baici God Lin might get her scolded.

After all, Korean people were very discriminatory against those from the Nine States. But she quickly noticed that Quan Sangin and the others had no reaction whatsoever.

Oh!

They must have been thoroughly convinced, right?

"Dae Jang Geum, A’xin, I’m going to the royal palace now. Please cooperate with me!"

Lin Baici mentioned it out of courtesy.

Dae Jang Geum didn’t want to go, but she knew she had no choice.

"Are you going to kill the dog emperor?"

A’xin’s expression was excited: "Kill the national husband as well? No, kill them all, and let’s create a living corpse disturbance in the royal palace. See how those high and mighty nobles like the taste of being in hell?"

"Who to kill will depend on the situation!"

Lin Baici was indifferent.

By the time Quan Sangin came down, Lin Baici had already knocked out all the locals in the inn and tied them up with rope, at least ensuring they couldn’t escape until tomorrow night.

Braving the wind and snow, they set out, and half an hour later, they arrived under the western wall of the royal palace.

"That’s it?"

Hua Yue Yu was disappointed. Compared to the majestic and grand Imperial Palace, this shabby little city was simply shabby, not even as good as the palace in the film and television city that was artificially built to expand tourism in her hometown.

Quan Sangin and the others were embarrassed. Although it was within God’s ruins, the shape of this palace looked no different from Goryeo’s real-life royal palace.

However, they had no way to refute Hua Yue Yu’s evaluation. When it came to ancient architecture, Nine States, with its five thousand years of history, was certainly second to none.

Pick a random brick from the Great Wall, take it to Goryeo, and it might be considered an antique.

There’s no helping it; the history is too profound.

"Quan Sangin, the task of finding the person is yours!"

Lin Baici said as he planned.

Quan Sangin gave an OK gesture and climbed over the wall.

Lin Baici, a bit bored, took out the Sunny Doll for a closer look.

[Don’t take a bath!]

[Don’t take a bath!]

[Don’t take a bath!]

The Eater God used a strongly repetitive sentence to comment.

[If you bathe with this Sunny Doll within twenty-five meters of you, the water will wash away all the skin on your body.]

"Can’t I just put it in the Black Tripod Bowl?"

Lin Baici frowned.

"No good, ban water!"

Lin Baici felt completely numb. Did this mean that he would have to keep the item far away every time he bathed? If the house wasn’t big enough, he would only be able to place it outside.

It seemed that buying a villa was necessary.

Half an hour later, Quan Sangin jumped down from the top of the wall, "Found it."

"Go!"

Xia Hongyao planned a big heist.

"Wait!"

Gu Qingqiu stopped them, "What’s the security like inside?"

"Usually there are many people, but today, because of the heavy snow, the guards have all shrunk back into their houses."

Quan Sangin looked at Hua Yue Yu, "But she and Dae Jang Geum should stay behind!"

They were physically too weak and might drag everyone down.

"Together!"

Lin Baici disagreed; he couldn’t rest easy leaving Hua Yue Yu alone here, but leaving another person to protect her would weaken their team’s combat strength.

"You’re God Lin, you make the call!"

Quan Sangin shrugged his shoulders.

Everyone climbed over the palace wall and entered the royal palace, trekked through the thick snow, and under Quan Sangin’s lead, crept towards the location of the Dayao group leader Hei Mu Xun.

By now, the team included God Hunters like Lin Baici, as well as Dae Jang Geum, Lee Taehyun, and the Jurchen woman A’xin.

A’xin was fueled by a desire for revenge and destruction, while Lee Taehyun was there to protect Dae Jang Geum.

Under the cover of the snowy night, the group moved stealthily for over fifteen minutes until they reached a small palace.

"See that house? Hei Mu Xun and the rest of the Dayao group are staying inside. That one next to it is the residence of the royal father-in-law!"

Quan Sangin reported.

"What comes around goes around!"

Lin Baici handed the Sunny Doll to Quan Sangin, "Go ahead and launch a surprise attack first!"

If they could assassinate Hei Mu Xun, it would save them a lot of trouble.

"Hei Mu Xun would never expect that we’ve so quickly secured this Sunny Doll and killed the people he sent out, only to come back and attack him once more."

Quan Sangin chuckled, feeling confident in this plan.

With lightning speed and in stealth, he appeared at Hei Mu Xun’s residence in merely a dozen breaths. Looking at the door frame, he leapt up, intending to hang the Sunny Doll there, but at that moment, it was as if an invisible blade had slashed his back.

Whoosh!

The clothes were ripped apart, and blood spurted out like blossoms. Luckily, Quan Sangin’s wealth of experience allowed him to dive forward in the moment the blade struck, crashing into the palace with a thud and dissipating much of the force. Otherwise, the blade would have sliced him in two.

"What’s happening?"

Kim Jinsoo’s heart jolted, and every muscle tensed.

She had been watching Quan Sangin closely and hadn’t seen an enemy—so why had he suddenly been wounded?

The noise from Quan Sangin’s crash alerted the guards stationed in the palace, and they started to run towards the commotion.

The sound of footsteps was chaotic.

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao immediately charged out!

"Let’s join in!"

Zheng Zhonggen was suddenly filled with admiration for Lin Baici. To tell the truth, when he saw his leader struck, he thought about going to help, but hesitated; after all, they didn’t know how the damage was inflicted, and he feared that going over would just result in his own death. But since Lin Baici charged ahead...

Zheng Zhonggen suddenly realized that following Lin Baici was such a relief; he didn’t have to worry about anything, Lin Baici would handle it all on his own.

And the greatest advantage was the absence of fear—like now, when Lin Baici charged ahead, he just needed to follow without a moment’s hesitation. This was because their leader was strong enough.

Inside the palace, Quan Sangin kept rolling and moving erratically. Beside him, some invisible weapon was attacking, occasionally striking the marble floor and creating sparks.

"God Lin, help!"

Quan Sangin called for help, not daring to stop.

After a single glance, Kim Jinsoo felt her scalp crawl: "What the hell is this?"

No one knew what to do, but suddenly Xia Hongyao swung her blade and shouted.

"Watch out!"

Ding!

The black short dagger of High Ponytail blocked a weapon aimed at her face.

Boom!

Apart from Lin Baici, everyone instinctively scattered.

That ’unseen ghost’ had abandoned Quan Sangin and now turned to attack them.
