In this short scene, the protagonist explains that he has come to the "blood lowland" west of the city of Shanxi because he was bored in his small village. He has heard rumors that the area is filled with poison and that the murim federation's army has managed to break into the area. He tells the protagonist that he should immediately take this news to his brother, Seomun, but he has not received any information from the spies who are in charge of spying on the blood-lowe. The protagonist tells him that a report has said that the "ambiguous army" of the "mercy palace" managed to breach through the area, and that he thinks they are "elites with powers we have never faced before." The protagonist says that if the mercy-palace manages to attack the "shandong region," the supply of elite soldiers entering the region will be cut off. He says that he postponed the deployment of troops to the area because of the roughness of the area and because the military forces in the region are lacking. He adds that he would have to mobilize his forces there, but that it would only turn his plans into nothing, and he would be attacked from the side if he mobilized his troops there. Seomun asks him what he's talking about, and the protagonist replies that there's someone waiting there. He asks if it could be someone waiting, and then he says that it's not.
