The mouth of the cave was large enough for an adult to pass through and looked dry on the inside, inside the cave, there were a few rooms that enough for a human to stay as if the cave had been inhabited by someone long ago and then abandoned.
Baotan immediately rushed to the mouth of the cave, he got off his horse, while the other members of the group who had followed him were also standing gathered around the mouth of the cave.
"Hey, whoever inside, come out now!" Baotan asked anyone who was inside the cave to come out immediately.
Everyone waiting for a while but no response heard from inside the cave, Baotan repeated his command, "Hey, whoever you are in the cave, hurry out now!" He spoke more loudly.
The cave is still quiet, with no voice heard or any movements from inside the cave that visible from outside, only the darkness of the cave that everyone sees.
Baotan looked at Princess Imma, she looked displeased with this situation, "You didn't trick me, right? Looks like no one is inside this cave." Baotan said.
Princess Imma came to the front of the cave and said, "Munlim, come out!"
As soon as Princess Imma sounded, from inside the cave immediately heard an answer from someone, "Yes, My Princess." It was Munlim's voice, he was only obeying Princess Imma's orders.
Munlim came out of the cave alone, his eyes sweeping over everyone who stood and gathered around the cave entrance. Without being told by Princess Imma, he already understood the situation they were in, he was also prepared to risk her life if Princess Imma wanted him to.
"Where is the girl?" Baotan was the first one to open his voice after Munlim came out of the cave.
Munlim only looked at Baotan without answering his question at all, he glanced at Princess Imma and the Princess nodded as a sign of her approval.
"Miss Youra, please come out," Munlim asked Youra who was still in the cave to come out.
Hearing Youra's name that mentioned by Munlim made Jin's heart flutter, in his heart there was a feeling of impatience to see the girl again even in unusual condition like this, seeing Youra's face always a special thing to him.
A little girl coming out of the cave and standing behind Munlim, it is Youra, the kidn*pped girl. Youra is a tough girl, her face does not look the slightest bit scared even though she knows that her current safety is not guaranteed. Youra tries to recognize everyone who is standing in front of him, but none of them that he knows, Youra doesn't know that Jin is among those who gathered in front of her because she only looks at everyone in a glance and Jin was standing behind Hyung Jae under the guard of Yong The Butcher and two of the Tiger Claw Sect's high-rank members.
"Bring the girl here." Baotan gives orders to Munlim.
Of course, Munlim ignored the order before Princess Imma give her permission.
"Hold it, give us our weapons before you can take this lady with you." Princess Imma announced her conditions before Baotan could take Youra with him.
From the start, Baotan did not intend to let Princess Imma and her friends go from his claw after getting Youra back, he plans to finish all of them who know his secret. Certainly, he didn't allow them to get their weapons back.
"I've found the girl, so you are no longer needed," Baotan said. "You think I'll let live an outsider as you know about our involvement in this matter?"
Princess Imma was not surprised by his answer, she had predicted that Baotan would break his promise. The guards from the Tiger Claw sect suddenly stood by and drew their swords, they were preparing to execute Princess Imma and her friends in this place.
Munlim's eyes caught the eyes of Princess Imma who gave a secret code to launch a surprise attack before Baotan and his men were ready. Munlim understood the code and with high speed, he picked up several smoke bombs balls from inside his pocket and throw them at Baotan and all of his troops. These smoke bombs were much stronger than the ones that they use in Imperial City.
Baotan and the guards, who did not know about the smoke bomb, fended off the smoke bomb that Munlim had thrown, and simultaneously an explosion and thick smoke appeared around the mouth of the cave right after they touch the smoke bomb's balls. A thick smoke that limiting their visibility.
All of Baotan's guards were panicked by the smoke attack, they get severe cough and their eyes feel hurt, except for Yong The Butcher and the two others who can regain their calmness inside the thick smoke and manage to moves to get outside of the smoke.
Yong The Butcher and those two high-ranked warriors didn't prepare to receive Munlim's surprise attack, and in a split second before they can react the smoke bomb has exploded creating a thick smoke that hurting the breath and the eyes of anyone who in touch with the smoke. The three of them were shocked for a moment but manage to regain their calmness and immediately came out of the smoke bomb, although they were not much affected by the smoke bomb, it took them some time before their breathing and vision returned to normal.
Hyung Jae, who had seen the smoke bomb before, immediately knew Princess Imma's surprise attack plan. Right after Munlim threw the smoke bomb ball, Hyung Jae with his speed immediately pulled Jin from Yong the Butcher's guard and he put his hand to cover Jin's mouth and nose. Hyung Jae managed to sneak and save Jin at the right time and immediately took Jin to a place far from the battle. After he feels as if he is already far enough from the battle place, he asked Jin to stay hide and not come out before the battle was over because he needs to return to the battle area to help Princess Imma.
Meanwhile, Munjim also managed to get all of their weapons back which was held by one of Baotan's guards, he didn't get much trouble to take the weapons because the guard was too panicked after the smoke bomb's attack, he took the guards down easily.
Munlim also manages to do a good job, right after he threw the smoke bombs, he immediately took Youra and runs far from the battle zone, he asks Youra to hide in a safe place before returning to the location to help Princess Imma.
Baotan, who saw his subordinates in chaos, immediately moved amidst the smoke as if he was not affected at all, he immediately eliminated the thick smoke around them with the pressure of his internal energy that emanates from his body. The thick smoke scattered in all directions and the air returned to normal. When everything looked normal again, Boutan looked around and only found Princess Imma and Munjim who were already holding their swords and prepare for a battle, he doesn't see Youra there and this made him so furious.
"Useless underlings! Quickly, go find the girl or I will kill all of you," Baotan asked some of his men to catch Youra, he mad at the weakness of his men who easily panicked only because of the smoke bombs explosions. "You are brave enough, lady, you should have run while you had the chance," Baotan said to compliment Princess Imma's bravery.
"You think I will let criminals like you roam freely? From the beginning, I intended to eradicate all of you." Princess Imma replied calmly.
