Chapter 108
While the righteous sect alliances martial arts masters were fighting the Changjiang Waterway Alliance at Dongting Lake, five giant ships were docking in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province.
After the giant ships anchored at Nanjing Port, five-hundred robust men equipped with various types of weapons came ashore. They were dressed as they pleased, having no care for formalities. Anyone could tell from the gruff aura they were giving off that they were the Four Seas Gang pirates.
It was unusual for the Four Seas Gang, the activities of which mainly revolved around the sea, to come to Yangzhou with such a large group. They immediately headed to the manor of the Great Sima Family, which had been absorbed by the Great Huangfu Family as a branched-out subsidiary family. The Great Huangfu Family now managed their territory in Jiangsu Province through the Great Sima Family.
The Four Seas Gang planned to attack the Great Sima Family. The Great Huangfu Family had only assigned two martial squads to that subsidiary family, reaching a total of two hundred people. Despite their inferior numbers, however, the two martial squads were composed of the elite forces of the Great Huangfu Family, one of the Seven Great Families. Hence, even if the Four Seas Gang had twice as many pirates, they couldnt guarantee victory.
Nevertheless, the Four Seas Gang pirates did not seem worried at all. After all, two of the Three Dragons of the Four Seas were with them. The Three Dragons of the Four Seas were Absolute Realm masters known as the Four Seas Gangs strongest martial artists. Five of the Four Seas Ten Supreme CommandersUpper Peak Realm masters each in charge of one of the Four Seas Ten Great Warshipswere also with them.
With the Three Dragons of the Four Seas and half of the Four Seas Ten Supreme Commanders marching with them, the Four Seas Gang pirates had no reason to be afraid of the Great Huangfu Familys elite martial artists no matter how strong they were. An hour later, the Four Seas Gang pirates arrived at the Great Huangfu Familys subsidiary branch. Not bothering to even devise a plan, they simply stormed into enemy territory and destroyed anything and anyone they could see.
The Great Huangfu Familys martial artists responded in perfect order to the invasion of the Four Seas Gang pirates. Fewer in numbers but stronger in terms of foundations and skills, they gained the upper hand against the Four Seas Gang pirates. However, the tables turned as soon as the Dragons of the Four Seas and the Four Seas Supreme Commanders joined the battle. With them in the forefront, the Four Seas Gang pirates gained momentum. The Great Huangfu Familys warriors fought hard until the very end. However, unable to make up for the difference in power, they were completely wiped out.
After annihilating the Great Huangfu Familys subsidiary branch, the Four Seas Gang returned to Yangzhou Port and headed to the base of the Great Namgung Familys subsidiary family in Nanjing. They immediately attacked the Great Namgung Familys subsidiary branch as soon as they arrived, giving their opponents no time to prepare. The Great Namgung Familys subsidiary family fought hard as well, but they eventually met the same fate as the Great Sima Family.
The Four Seas Gang suffered more than two hundred casualties against the two families subsidiary branches. However, annihilating the elite forces of two of the Seven Great Families was a feat great enough to justify their losses. After wiping out the two subsidiary branches, the Four Seas Gang began to head deeper into the continent via the Changjiang River instead of leaving Nanjing by sea.
They were now heading to Wuchang in Hubei Province.

After the battle, the righteous sect alliances martial arts masters headed to Yueyang. Despite their victory, they couldnt help but feel down. Not only did the upper brass of the Changjiang Waterway Alliance manage to escape, but Elder Tang Jin-Ho of the Sichuan Tang Family also drowned.
Elder Tangs death is unfortunate, but we have to discuss matters regarding the Changjiang Waterway Alliances superiors, who got away. Zhuge Long sounded distressed.
Dont we have to find them first before we can do something about it? Great Monk Gong Seon commented.
Thats exactly right. For now, the first thing we have to do is track them down, Zhuge Long replied.
This is just my hypothesis, but they will most likely join up with the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulin, Mu-Gun said.
Thats their most probable move. They cant do anything on their own under the current circumstances.
What we have to think about is what they plan to do once they have joined up with the martial arts masters of the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulin.
Do you have any guesses?
Theyll probably attack the Great Zhuge Family.
The Great Zhuge Family?
The Changjiang Waterway Alliance and the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulin would certainly refuse to back down without getting any results after combining their forces. Realistically, they can only aim for the Great Zhuge Family right now.
The Great Zhuge Family had a relatively weaker force among the Seven Great Families, having only two Absolute Realm masters in their ranks. Combined, the Changjiang Waterway Alliance and the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulin had three Absolute Realm masters and ten Upper Peak Realm masters. Judging from that alone, their forces would have a good chance of winning against the Great Zhuge Family.
We should muster up a plan to support the Great Zhuge Family.
But do you think you can leave your family just because you want to? Even if your feelings are sincere, the Great Namgung Family will not accept your decision. Even if they do, that begs the question of whether you can really turn a blind eye to matters regarding the Great Namgung Family until the very end.
They will naturally try to change my mind at first. However, they are bound to give up as long as I remain resolute. Since ancient times, parents have always had a soft spot for their children. Moreover, no matter what happens to the Great Namgung Family, I will not ask anything from you, Young Master Baek. I cant say the same for myself, but the Great Namgung Family has the power to get through anything on their own.
Mu-Gun was surprised by Hyun-Ahs bold and confident remarks. He never thought that she would be this determined. With her looking only at him and only him, Mu-Gun could no longer reject her feelings.
I have told you this before, but I have already given my heart to a few women.
It doesnt matter. Its much better to share you with other women than to lose you, Young Master Baek. I dont know any of the women you have given your heart to, but if you give me your heart as well despite their existence in your life, it means that you like me better than them.
Not necessarily.
But its true that you have feelings for me. You wont deny that, will you?
In all honesty, I do have feelings for you, Lady Namgung.
Thats enough for me, then. Perhaps it would be better for me to be together with someone who does not want my background, like Young Master Baek. If you did not have faith in yourself and instead wanted to rely on the power of your in-laws, I would be the one to hate you first.
Mu-Gun chuckled in response.
Why are you laughing?
I just think youre really true to yourself.
So, what is your answer, Young Master Baek? Hyun-Ah stared at Mu-Gun, who was resting his chin on his palm.
Mu-Gun met Hyun-Ahs gaze. His heart fluttered when he looked into her eyes, which had a subtle sexiness to them. He wanted to have her in his arms so badly. Deciding not to nitpick over the fact that she was a lady of the Great Namgung Family, he admitted his feelings for Hyun-Ah. He no longer cared about anything else.
I desire to have you in my arms right now, Lady Namgung.
Hearing Mu-Guns response, Hyun-Ah stared at Mu-Gun with a surprised expression.
I do not embrace a woman unless its someone I really like. Mu-Gun chuckled.
But arent we progressing too fast? We havent even kissed yet.
Mu-Gun rose from his seat, surprising Hyun-Ah further. Mu-Gun leaned in and kissed her.
W-what are you doing?
Now that weve kissed, I think we can progress further. Mu-Gun smiled at Hyun-Ah.
Now that Ive thought about it, youre quite the sly man.
A man is as sly as he likes his other half. Shall we?
Mu-Gun held Hyun-Ahs hand and led the way to an inn near the Yellow Crane House. Rather than shaking off Mu-Guns hand, Hyun-Ah followed his lead instead. She would be separating from Mu-Gun tomorrow, so she wanted to establish a clear-cut relationship with him now. As soon as they found an inn, they booked and entered a guest room. Not long after, they began to covet each others lips, paying no regard to who took the lead.
