Chapter 289: You think I could not do it (2)

Inside the hidden mansion within Sword Creek. Godly Doctor Gam Rosu was frantically searching through all parts of the building. She didn't look good as she seemed to have lost something she valued.

"W-where did it go?! Where is it?!"

She remembered last time when she took it into her pocket. But when she was done packing up and escaped, the book disappeared. It was a treasure that was passed down from generations so she had to find it. And while Gam Rosu was busily searching through, Yeowun's group was busy taking care of dead bodies outside the cliff.

"Ugh. This is heavy."

"Make sure you erase those trackings on the ground, Hu Bong."

"Yeah, of course."

Hu Bong and Bakgi were gathering bodies in one place. They couldn't burn it all down at once as there were too many bodies, so they gathered 20 at a time to burn them down.

'Just those outside?'

Yeowun ordered to leave the bodies that were inside the mansion intact. Yang Danwa agreed with Yeowun's idea. The bodies outside were those who were killed by them, but ones inside were the result of the masked men and the Mudan clan fighting against each other, so it was better to leave them alone.

'It's not here.'

Yang Danwa's face turned grim. The mansion was in ruins from the fight and there were countless bodies. But Yang Danwa couldn't find the body of Hing Wunja, the Mudan Strong Sword.

'Was it him that the Lord sensed earlier?'

It was the man they should not have allowed to escape. If that man took even a glimpse of Yeowun's power, then it was likely that he will bring the entire force of the Mudan clan here.

'Let's hope Elder Yin caught up to him.'

Yin Moha was within the top five strongest warriors of the Demonic Cult. Even if Hing Wunja was one of the Strong Nine, it wasn't likely that Yin Moha would have too much trouble in taking the man back.

"Godly Doctor."

Someone called out to Gam Rosu who was still searching frantically. It was Chun Yeowun. She stubbornly insisted on being called 'Granny Gam' if she was called with such title, but she couldn't do this to Yeowun.

"Y-yes, what is it? My rescuer."

It was Yeowun who saved her life, so she called him her rescuer.

"I know you're busy, but can you get me some medicinal herbs first?"

"Herbs?"

Gam Rosu became curious. Yeowun took one of the papers on the table and wrote down what he needed. He was asking since they were inside the mansion of the best doctor in the Jianghu. Gam Rosu became surprised when she saw the list of herbs and mumbled.

"Dry opium poppy?"

"Do you have it?"

"Not a lot, but I do have some in stock to use as a pain killer."

Yeowun turned to a smile at the answer.

And in the mansion, in one of the rooms… Mun Ku and Hou Sangwha left two masked men and the old man in separate rooms, all tied up. The two women were doing something while they were looking at the tied man on the chair.

"Do you see the thin line behind the ear?"

"Oh! This one?"

"Yeah. That's it."

Mun Ku explained and Hou Sangwha found the line drawn between the old man's neck and ear. It was very well hidden that it was hard to recognize. But Mun Ku had lived four years with a mask, so she knew where to look.

With Hou Sangwha pulling on the skin, the old man's skin stretched as it uncovered the face beneath it.

"Huh?"

Two of them became confused. The old man spoke like an old man, so they thought the enemy would be very old, but he wasn't that old. The superior master level warrior would go through body reconstruction so it was hard to tell the one's real age, but this man looked like in his late 30s.

"I thought he was older."

"Yeah… huh?"

That's when the man flinched. It seemed he was waking up from being passed out. Mun Ku ran out to fetch someone.

'….Nngh.'

The man barely opened his eyes. He then saw ropes tying him down on the chair as he opened his eyes.

'Have I been captured?'

He thought he was killed when he was struck down. He then looked down at his wound, which was covered with linen wrap.

'They kept me alive.'

It was easy to see why they kept him alive. It was probably to gather information.

'Fools. You will not get any information from me.'

Even if he lost, he had no intention of spilling the secrets of the Blade God Six Martial clan. There was no way to run, so it was better if he just killed himself. But as he tried to send internal energy to go berserk and damage himself to die, a strong pain came in to stop him. There was a large needle stuck on each of his blood points so that he couldn't move any internal energy.

'Damn. They locked me down.'

Everything was thought through. He also was gagged with rags so that he couldn't bite on his tongue either. As the man became grim, the door of the room opened. A young man with long hair walked in. It was Chun Yeowun. When the old man saw Yeowun walking in, he remembered what happened before he passed out again. He became curious as to how Yeowun had learned that martial art.

"NNNNGH!"

But he couldn't speak.

"You can stay outside, Sanghwa."

"But…"

"It's okay."

"Yes, my lord."

Hou Sangwha walked out and Yeowun walked up to the man and placed a chair to sit down. He then pulled out the rag from the man's mouth.

"Hah… Hah…"

The man let out a long sigh. He then looked up and glared.

"…You. How can a mere warrior of the Cult know 'his' blade skill?"

There was no need for anything else. He was only curious as to how Yeowun had learned the martial art. Yeowun then scoffed as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Let me correct you on two things first."

"What?"

"I am not just a mere warrior of the cult."

The man then spoke with a smirk.

"Fool. You think I did not recognize you? You are from the Jurkang…. NNGH!"

Yeowun suddenly grabbed on the man's mouth. He then shook his head and continued.

"Let me tell you this. I am not a mere warrior, but the Sky and the Master of the Demonic Cult."

'Sky? Master? …W-wait.'

The man became curious at first, but frowned as he realized what Yeowun had said. It meant Yeowun was saying he was the Lord of the Cult.

"Y…You are the Lord of the Demonic Cult?"

It was unbelievable. Why would the Lord come down to the remote region of the forces of Justice by himself?

"Huh?"

Yeowun then placed his hand below the man's stomach. The man looked back at Yeowun and Yeowun spoke coldly.

"Second, you have no right to question me."

"W-wait…"

But before he could finish, Yeowun's powerful energy penetrated the man's internal energy.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!"

Chapter 290: You think I could not do it (3)

Strong energy penetrated the man's stomach and brought heavy pain to the man. The internal energy within him was being cracked down. The most painful experience for the warriors of Yulin would be when their internal damage was destroyed. The physical pain was beyond imaginable, but the pain of losing something that the warrior had built in his entire life brought loss that was more than what one could bear.

"Aaaaaaargh! Y-YOU!!!! Just kill me!!!!"

The man screamed and insisted on killing him. But Yeowun ignored his screaming and finished destroying the internal energy.

"Aaaaargh!"

The man screamed from extreme pain and soon passed out. But he was woken up immediately. Searing pain on his cheek woke him up. His face was drenched in sweat and pale from the pain. He still felt extreme pain beneath his stomach.

"Ah…"

'M-my internal energy… it's gone…'

He already prepared to be killed, but the feeling of losing internal energy wasn't something he could bear. Yeowun then suddenly clapped his hands in front of the man's eyes. The man became dumbfounded by such action and looked up.

'Is he trying to…?'

He had lost his internal energy, but he didn't miss the strange sound when Yeowun clapped. It was likely that the clap contained energy within it.

"Hah. Are you trying to put me under hypnosis?"

Hypnosis. The man was one of the leaders within the Blade God Six Martial clan and there was one leader in particular who specialized in such hypnosis. But he went missing after he entered the cult, so the clan thought the man was dead already.

'Did you spill your secret to the cult?'

The result was disappointing. Whatever the case, there was no way the hypnosis will work on him.

"You know."

Yeowun looked surprised. He just clapped once, so he didn't think the man would recognize what he was trying to do right away. The man scoffed.

"Hah… you are a fool. You think copying our clan's magic will work?"

He had lost internal energy but he and the other leaders were trained to build immunity against poppies. There was no way that they would be put under the same magic that they created.

"Haha… hah… HAHAHAHA!"

"I was worried because of your monstrous power… but you are not as smart. You said you are the Lord of the Cult? Don't… NNGH!"

"Shut up."

Yeowun grabbed his mouth again. The man couldn't speak and the man then forced open the man's mouth and picked something up from the ground. It was a medicine pot.

"Nnnngh! W-wha rar you… doin…!!!!"

Yeowun ignored him and put the pot's opening into the man's mouth and began pouring in the medicine soup into the man's mouth. The man tried to spit it out but Yeowun clogged his nose, so the man couldn't fight back on swallowing it. The soup was boiling hot.

After making him swallow a good amount, Yeowun took off the pot from the man's mouth.

"Ugh… argh…"

The man coughed for a long time, but soon forgot the pain of being burned and smirked at Yeowun.

"I… I told you it's no use… you are a fool."

Even if the recipe was revealed, he had built-in immunity against its substance. There was no use of doing this to other masked men who were kept in other rooms.

"Do you… think we are not… prepared for this… ah… huh? W-what is… what am I…"

But he felt his body become relaxed and began to feel good. It was changing so fast that the world seemed to be turning around and melted away. The man barely got his thoughts together and asked, "W…what did you do… to me?"

"Do you honestly think I would use the same recipe that you people use?"

"What?"

The substance that Yeowun made the man swallow had knowledge of future medicine mixed into it. Nano called this a 'Truth Serum.'

[Out of 35 Truth Serums, 30 of them are outlawed by international law. There is one that uses a substance called Ritalin among those that are not illegal.]

Ritalin was a substance used under medical circumstances, but was also used as a truth serum in certain militaries. Nano mixed this with the original mixture to make it work better. Yeowun was able to create this as the Godly Doctor had most of the herbs required in her storage.

"I made it more powerful than the one you people use."

"T…that is impossible! How did you… how…?"

He was certain that there was no way that the medicine will work on him, but it worked really well. He felt his body becoming relaxed, and he felt the urge to start speaking. He bit his lips to endure and shook his head. Yeowun smiled.

"You think I could not do something you guys did?"

"D-dammit! N…NO!!!!"

And Yeowun began to clap, with his energy focused on his hand. After a few claps, the man's eyes became numb. He was now under full hypnosis. Yeowun was actually very fascinated as this really worked. It also helped that the man had lost his internal energy to fight back.

'Let me start one by one.'

Yeowun thought he should follow what Nano told him to do: hypnotizing people. Yeowun clapped his hand in front of the man and spoke.

"You will answer my question each time I snap my finger."

"…Yes."

And now, he was free to ask questions. Yeowun asked who the man was.

"What is your name?"

"I am Lee Baek, the Sword Master of the Blade God Six Martial clan, one of six martial Masters of the clan."

Chapter 291: You think I could not do it (4)

Yeowun became astounded. It really worked, as the man clearly explained who he was. Yeowun thought for a second on what to ask next, and asked what he wanted to know the most.

"Why did you want to take the doctor with you?"

"She has the relic left by our founder."

Yeowun frowned. It seemed that this 'founder' was what the man referred to as 'him' until now.

"And what is that relic?"

"It is a schematic to create the Extreme Martial Body."

"Extreme Martial… what? What is that?"

"It is a body that can learn the best martial arts of our clan, the Extreme Art of the Blade God."

'Extreme Art of the Blade God?'

Yeowun then thought that maybe the name was the name of the blade skill of the Blade God that he had learned. Yeowun asked just in case.

"Was the blade skill I used against you the Extreme Art of the Blade God?"

"That is correct."

He had learned this blade skill for months, and finally learned its name. But why did these people need a schematic to make such a body?

"Why do you need that schematic?"

"Extreme Art of the Blade God requires a special way. We need it to bring our physical parts beyond their limits so we can learn the Extreme Art."

"Ah."

Yeowun nodded. The Extreme Art of Blade God was a martial art that was not possible to learn for ordinary people. Yeowun was able to use it by strengthening his physical traits and muscles beyond the limit of humans with Nano's help, but that method wasn't possible for anyone else.

'Wait… but why do they need this?'

These were people who said that the Blade God was their ancestor. How could they not know how to learn their ancestor's martial art completely? It was curious as to why they would need the schematic. And above all…

'How did the Godly Doctor put her hands on such a schematic in the first place?'

He was curious and asked.

"We do not know."

"What?"

Lee Baek seemed he did not know how Gam Rosu had acquired the book. Of course, they would have already have taken it for themselves if they knew how Gam Rosu got her hands on it. Yeowun changed the question.

"How did you know that Gam Rosu had it?"

"We learned through our spies at the Yulin's clan's secret organization, Blue Sky Brotherhood."

"Blue Sky Brotherhood?"

Yeowun had learned about every organization within the Yulin clan before he left the castle, but he had never heard of such a name. As Yeowun became curious about what the organization was, Lee Baek continued.

"We learned that one of Blue Sky Brotherhood's plans was to use Godly Doctor's project to create warriors with superhuman strengths. We were able to confirm that they were talking about the Extreme Martial Body."

After acquiring this piece of information, the clan sent out Lee Baek to retrieve the book. After getting the information that the Mudan clan was protecting and watching the Godly Doctor, it took them a month to find the Godly Doctor's hideout. Sword Creek was located in the middle of the territory of the Yulin clan, so it required them to move very carefully.

'I have the answer to my question at least.'

Yeowun now learned why the Blade God Six Martial clan wanted to get the doctor. And it was now time to unravel their important secret. The hidden power of the Blade God Six Martial clan, along with their secrets and motives. With these known, it was going to allow Yeowun to strike back.

With Hu Bong and Bakgi returning to the mansion after taking care of bodies outside, only one remained that didn't return yet. It was Yin Moha, tracking down Hing Wunja. Hu Bong and Bakgi were dirty with ashes from burning all the bodies.

"This is tiring."

Hu Bong was exhausted. Bakgi nodded as he too was exhausted from long work. Yang Danwa spoke to them.

"Good work. We are not sure when we will leave, so you two can get some rest while you can."

They were in the middle of enemy territory, so even if it wasn't for the escaped Hing Wunja, warriors of the Yulin clan could appear at any moment. Yang Danwa suggested for Hu Bong and Bakgi to rest. That's when Gam Rosu appeared.

"Granny Gam?"

"I…it's not there…"

"What's going on? Did you not find the one you were looking for?"

They heard that Gam Rosu had to search for an important book that she lost already.

"There's nothing in the storage. You two, did you see any weird book made with special paper outside?"

All of them shook their heads at the question. It was obvious that the book was taken by Hing Wunja.

"Ah… what should I do!"

She felt bad for losing a important family relic that was handed down from her ancestors. That's when they heard some noise toward the entrance.

'Huh?'

Yang Danwa, Bakgi, and Hu Bong all took their stances to be ready to fight at any moment. They sent a telepathic message to Gam Rosu to stay still. And as they waited nervously, someone appeared through the cave entrance. It was Yin Moha.

"Elder Yin!"

Yin Moha finally returned from her chase. On her back, there was something that was tied around with ripped clothing. It was a body with no limbs.

"Ah!"

It was Hing Wunja. Yin Moha was successful in bringing the man back. But as she had to fight a warrior of equal strength, she too had small injuries and was also pale from exhaustion, proving the hard battle she fought.

'T-these people are so cruel…!'

Hing Wunja had been threatening and pressuring her, but Gam Rosu felt sorry to find Hing Wunja in such a state. She was a doctor so she had seen many horrible sights that abled her to see this without much shock, but it wasn't a sight for normal people to see. Gam Rosu became certain that these people were not from the forces of Justice.

'It's amazing!'

Yang Danwa, however, was glad that they were able to put down one of the Strong Nine, a powerful foe within the forces of justice, and tried to congratulate her.

"Elder Yin! You have…"

But an explosion came somewhere within the mansion.

"T-that's…!"

That was the place where Yeowun was questioning the old man that they captured.

"M-master!"

They all ran toward the explosion at once.

Chapter 292: You think I could not do it (5)

Noisy screaming sound filled the dark stone room. It was much noisier and annoying than the sound of a cricket. Someone entered the stone room with a candlelight. The light was so dim that it didn't reveal the man's face. He then walked slowly in and searched for the one that was screaming loudly. On the stone wall, there were shelves with many wooden boxes. Among them, there was a red wooden box that had the word 'Sword' written over it. The man took the box, which the sound was coming from within.

When he opened it, there was a fist-long centipede. It only had its antennae and a mouth, that was screaming with a weird sound as it shook. The man picked it up.

"I sent you to pick up the object, not spill our information. Hmph."

The man spat and clenched his fist. The centipede screamed within the fist and soon exploded from the pressure. And the man watched white liquid dripping within his hand and smiled.

"Whoever you are… you are a fool if you think you can find something out from him."

At the same time within the hidden mansion of Sword Creek… Yeowun was asking questions through hypnosis. Lee Baek had been telling all answers to every question Yeowun had until now. Now, they were moving onto the important question. Yeowun had to find out where the Blade God Six Martial clan was hiding, how strong they were, and their purpose. The Blade God had disappeared from the Yulin for 500 years and the Blade God Six Martial clan never revealed themselves within that time. If they appeared now, it was certain that they were ready for whatever purpose they set out to do. Yeowun wanted to know what that purpose was, so he could be prepared.

"The founder you said… is that the 'Blade God'?"

"…U…ugh…"

Lee Baek shook his body for the first time during the questioning. His eyes were shaking and showing resistance in answering that question.

'He's fighting back.'

Yeowun snapped his finger again.

"Y…Yes."

Lee Baek then barely answered the question. As expected, the Blade God Six Martial clan had descendants of the Blade God himself.

"Then are you people divided up into six groups, just like how your name describes it?"

And with questions going into details, the resistance only grew. Lee Baek was now being drenched in sweat and also his face turned red.

'It's getting bad.'

He had no internal energy to fight back, but still resisted against the truth serum and the hypnosis. Yeowun then realized this was strange to think it was coming from strong will.

'Huh?'

That's when Lee Baek's numb eyes turned clear. Veins popped up from his forehead and his head began to expand in size. Lee Baek seemed to be in pain, but he smirked at Yeowun.

"…I told you you will not find anything from me."

He knew this would happen if things went south. All leaders were put on restrictions just in case something happened to them. As soon as they try to speak the information that they were not supposed to spill, a male centipede within their head would send a signal to the female. This centipede was to die by an explosion if one of the pair died.

"Nnnngh…!"

Lee Baek felt a strange thing in his head and felt something expanding within. Yeowun then placed his hand over his head.

"Nnngh… W-what?!'

Light shined from Yeowun's palm and when it was done, augmented reality activated over Yeowun's eyes. Yeowun was shown with information followed by a white square on a head.

[After MRI scanning of the target, a insect within the brain is found to be expanding.]

Yeowun saw the image of something small and red becoming large.

"Hmm."

Yeowun frowned. He didn't quite get all the information yet, but it seemed there had been protection over it. Lee Baek saw Yeowun's frown and smiled.

"Ha… Haha…. You won't get anything!"

"I see."

"Even if you are supreme master level…"

That's when Yeowun's hand unleashed a powerful electric shock into Lee Baek's head.

"Gggggagagagagagagaga!"

Lee Baek's entire body trembled through electricity running through. His eyes, ears, nose and mouth all spilled blood from within. Yeowun then placed his hand over his right eye.

'Nano, help me so I don't damage his brain.'

[Yes, Master.]

With Yeowun's energy penetrating into the man's head, it started pulling something out. It was the insect that put to a stop from exploding itself through Nano's electric shock.

[Located the insect.]

'Let's pull it out.'

[Acquiring control over the energy from the user.]

The electricity circled around the insect and Nano used its energy to bring out the insect slowly so that the brain would not take any damage.

"Gagagagagagagaga!"

Lee Baek's right eye began to move. And when Yeowun gestured pulling it out, Lee Baek's right eye was pulled out, followed by the centipede about two fingers long behind it.

"Aaaaaaaargh!"

"Hah!"

Yeowun then controlled his energy to bring the centipede up through the ceiling. The insect then shot through the ceiling to be thrown out of the building, and when the electricity was taken out, it instantly expanded and exploded above. White ooze dropped on the roof of the building.

"A…argh…"

Lee Baek was under huge pain from both the electric shock and the pain of having his eyeball pulled out, but he couldn't close his eye. He was looking up with fear to Chun Yeowun.

'H…how can this happen? Is this man really a monster?'

He had not even dreamt that such thing would be possible. It was impossible to even think to pull out such an insect from within the body.

[Brain damage at minimum, but the target is in serious condition.]

Yeowun then realized he had to make it quick. A low electricity volt energized Lee Baek's brain to think clearly, but it seemed Lee Baek didn't have much time left.

"This will hurt, but I will have to make this quick."

"Nnngh… what?!"

Yeowun then snapped his finger by Lee Baek's ear. Lee Baek then became numb again.

"What?"

Hou Sangwha and Mun Ku became surprised when they found something being thrown up over the ceiling and exploding. They climbed up and saw white ooze all over the roof.

"W-what is this?"

"M-my Lord!"

Mun Ku thought something must have happened within the room, so she quickly ran down and burst into the room.

"Hiiik!"

She screamed as soon as she walked in. Yeowun was listening to something that Lee Baek was saying as he held on Lee Baek's head. It was a horrible sight as Lee Baek's right eye was dangling out of his eye socket.

"N…ngh… Jurkang… H.. Hangju… at Hangsan Castle… our base…"

Lee Baek who was barely speaking then dropped his head down. He finally died.

"Hah…"

Yeowun let go of his hand. He wanted to get as much information as possible, but he was only able to find a few. But that was good enough.

"My Lord!"

That's when other members also ran into the room. It seemed they were all shocked by the sound of the explosion. Yang Danwa walked up to Yeowun and asked, "A-are you okay, my lord?"

They were concerned if something serious had happened, but Yeowun seemed safe. Yeowun then spoke to his members.

"I have found their location."

It was in Hangsan near the Jurkang castle. Lee Baek revealed the location of Blade God Six Martial clan's home before he died. Yeowun's group all became surprised.

And in another room, Hing Wunja was tied to a chair without his arms or legs. His face was pale and he didn't seem to be in good shape. Yin Moha stopped him from bleeding after she overpowered him, but there was too blood that was lost.

"Hah… you cut off his arms and legs. This is natural."

Gam Rosu shook her head. She treated Hing Wunja, but Hing Wunja lost so much blood that Gam Rosu said he would only last about an hour. She suggested supplying Hing Wunja with blood, but they had to leave soon so they didn't intend on making Hing Wunja live a bit longer.

"I have something to ask you, my rescuer."

Gam Rosu begged Yeowun. She was the best doctor there was in entire land of Jianghu, so she already knew what Yeowun created from the list of herbs that he got from her.

"If you are using that medicine to Monk Hing, give me a chance to question him."

Gam Rosu said that she was asked by an organization called the Blue Sky Brotherhood to work on a project on finding a way to bring one's body beyond its physical limit. The reason behind this project was…

"Blue Sky Brotherhood said they are creating powerful warriors to make the world a better place. I didn't want to get involved in any of things happening in Yulin but…"

She had to change her mind when her only granddaughter was kidnapped year ago by a warrior from the forces of evil. With her only family and successor being kidnapped, she became vengeful and accepted the Blue Sky Brotherhood's request.

"They said they have to win war against the forces of evil to get my granddaughter back. But they couldn't do that with their current power."

She was too busy thinking about revenge to realize at first, but as time passed, she began to grow suspicious. The Blue Sky Brotherhood was created by powerful warriors from many powerful clans and families from the forces of justice, but they kept saying they weren't even sure if Gam Rosu's kidnapped granddaughter was even alive.

"Monk Hing… I'm certain he knows something."

Gam Rosu was certain that he was hiding some truth. But she was only a doctor so there was no way for her to find out. She only figured she had to fulfill her part of the request to be the only way of saving her granddaughter.

"If you help me, I don't care where you are from. I will help you with all I can."

There was no reason Yeowun would reject her request. The Godly Doctor was a doctor with noble heart so he was concerned on how to persuade her to come see Lord Chun Yujong, so this was better for Yeowun.

"I will let you ask him first then."

Yeowun offered her to ask first. After destroying the internal energy and making him consume medicine, Yeowun hypnotized Hing Wunja. Hing Wunja became numb just like how Lee Baek had become.

"My granddaughter… Don't you really know where Gam Miyan is being held?"

Yeowun snapped his finger and Hing Wunja opened his mouth.

"…Granny Gam's granddaughter… is being held at Yongho House, one of the 18 Houses."

"W-what?!"

Gam Rosu became furious at the immediate response of her granddaughter's location. She had asked countless times if her granddaughter was found, but Hing Wunja always said they were looking for her. She bit on her lips to endure her fury and asked.

"Why… why did you not tell me until now?"

"…Granny Gam. We were told by our master of brotherhood to refrain from telling you before you finish the project. We were in touch with the Yongho Family of the 18 River Families, so we can always bring back your granddaughter as soon as you are finished with the project."

"Y…you are in contact with the Yongho Family?"

Gam Rosu's face turned red from fury. Every member of Yeowun's group was within the room with them, and all of them became dumbfounded from what they heard. Hu Bong shook his head.

"Hah. They are worse then forces of evil! What a evil monk!"

"Shut up."

Hou Sangwha poked his stomach to make him fall silent. Gam Rosu was already so shocked, so there was no need to make her become more furious. But even if Hu Bong didn't say anything, Gam Rosu had already lost her temper.

"YOUUUUU!!!!!"

She furiously charged and began to choke Hing Wunja's neck.

Gam Rosu screamed furiously as she choked Hing Wunja's neck but no one stopped her. They all understood her fury as they all heard the truth. But soon, the act began to go out of control. Gam Rosu was pressing on the weak point of the neck.

"You call yourself a monk?! DIE! DIE!!!!"

"Kaaaak!"

'No… he'll die.'

Hing Wunja's face was turning purple, so Yeowun walked forward to stop her. He didn't even ask any questions to Hing Wunja yet.

"Godly Doctor! Stop!"

"Aaaaaaaah!"

But Gam Rosu couldn't hear anything and kept on choking Hing Wunja. She was well built with large muscles, so her choke wasn't something that Hing Wunja, who had lost internal energy and was in a serious state could withstand. His eyes were now rolling backward.

'She won't stop.'

Yeowun reached out, and Gam Rosu's body was thrown to the back by powerful energy force pulling him away.

"Ah!"

Fourth Elder Yang Danwa quickly ran behind to catch her in the air. But Gam Rosu did not stop from frantically trying to fight back.

"Let me go! That bastard… my granddaughter!!"

"Relax! Calm down, Granny Gam!"

It was obvious that she couldn't forgive the man who lied to her over a year, when her granddaughter was left with the infamous pirates, the 18 River Families of the Yellow River.

"Hou Sangwha. Take the Godly Doctor out of the room."

"Yes, sir."

Hou Sangwha took Gam Rosu out of the room. Yeowun then asked dying Hing Wunja to get some answers while he could.

"Hah… hah…ngh…."

"What is the purpose of the Blue Sky Brotherhood?"

Hing Wunja let out a heavy breath as he spoke.

"B…blue Sky… Brotherhood… only wants… the world to walk the path of… justice…. ..ngr…."

And with the lack of oxygen and heavy blood loss, Hing Wunja died before he could even finish answering the question.

"Dammit!"

Yeowun placed his hands over Hing Wunja's head and chest. A low volt of electricity came out of his hand. Hing Wunja's heart stopped, but Yeowun was trying to see if he could bring him back to ask at least a few more questions. But there was no use. Hing Wunja already died and his body was now becoming rigid.

"Ah…"

Yeowun regretted allowing Gam Rosu to ask first. He wanted to find out what this secret brotherhood was all about, but it was too late.

'Whew… I hope the Godly Doctor knows something about them at least.'

It was no use if he regretted it. He now just hoped that the Godly Doctor, who once worked with the brotherhood, knew something about them.

'But a doctor choking a monk with fury…'

Yeowun felt weird when he thought about what he had just seen. This was the first time he came out of the cult. After seeing all that happened here, he came to a thought that all people, whether they were cultists or from the forces of justice, or killers or doctors, there wasn't much difference between them after all.

'Are we all just the same humans after all?'

Maybe the only difference was between ideals and goals. Yeowun thought there was something more significantly different between people from each group, but it was now going away.

"My Lord."

That's when Yin Moha walked up to Yeowun. She brought out some pieces of paper that was burned in most places. Some were burned too severely that it was not even recognizable.

"What is this?"

"I found Hing Wunja burning this when I got to him."

When Yin Moha took out these pieces of paper, Yang Danwa walked up to them and spoke.

"Isn't that the book that the Godly Doctor had been searching for?"

They knew that Gam Rosu was frantically searching for a certain book. All they heard was that it was created with some unique paper.

"This… sure is unique."

It was a piece of burnt paper, but it was much thicker and slicker than regular paper.

'It's so smooth. What is this?'

Yeowun took it into his hand and Nano's voice answered.

[Program is locked. Cannot analyze the material or year of creation.]

This was similar to when Yeowun asked if Nano could be transferred over to another body to heal. It had been a long time since Nano mentioned locks on certain information.

'It's strange… hmm?'

On the back, there was a piece of paper with some writing on it. The area around it was burned, but about three lines were legible. The problem was that it wasn't the usual characters that Yeowun could read. It looked a bit more simplified.

'Nano… is this also locked?'

[This is a 'simplified Chinese character.']

'Simplified?'

[It is created to easily write the traditional characters.]

'How is it created?'

[There is a lock on the program for that specific information.]

'…Can you tell me what it says then?'

[Yes, Master. Translating… 'It is mistake that I went after him. He was surely an Origin of the Demonic Cult. My greed had failed me. I should have stuck to my original plan to go to the Demonic…' End of translation.]

The latter part was burnt.

Yeowun became surprised when he heard it. What did it mean? He heard that the treasure Godly Doctor held was the schematic in creating the Extreme Martial Art. But the writing he just read was more like a journal.

'Origin of the Demonic Cult…? Is this talking about Father Chun Ma?'

That was the logical explanation for such a title. It seemed that the man who wrote this tried to attack Father Chun Ma but failed. After a long thought, Yeowun remembered the trace of the Extreme Art of the Blade God under the cliff.

'Oh! Maybe the one who wrote this is the founder of the Blade God Six Martial clan!'

Now, every finding began to fit with each other like a puzzle. The founder of the Blade God Six Martial clan also created the schematic of the Extreme Martial Body, and in a mysterious way, Gam Rosu's ancestor had taken it. But Yeowun couldn't figure out what the script was trying to say.

'…Maybe his original plan was to attack the cult itself instead…'

It was a shame that the latter part was all burned down. This wasn't much help as the remaining pieces were burned severely so nothing was recognizable.

'This is no use. He tried to destroy it rather than having it fall to others.'

Hing Wunja's decision was a logical decision for the Blue Sky Brotherhood, as if he had not done that, the book would have been in the hands of the Demonic Cult.

"Hmmm."

Yeowun then gave the pieces of paper pack to Yin Moha.

"There's no use. Return this back to the Godly Doctor. I will question remaining two and we will leave. Get ready."

"Yes, my lord."

Chapter 295: Yongho Family (2)

Everyone shouted at Yeowun's order. After an hour, Yeowun questioned both masked men in two rooms. Unlike Lee Baek, these warriors did not know any vital information. All they knew was who their leader was, and they were trained outside the home of the Blade God Six Martial clan, so they did not know anything about them.

'…That's why they don't have any protection on them.'

These people didn't have weird centipedes or anything like that either. It was likely as they did not know anything anyway. It was a shame, but Yeowun had to satisfy what he found out.

After the questioning was done, Yeowun and his members finished returning. Their original purpose was to find the Godly Doctor and the missing special expedition team, and so all they had to do was return to the Demonic Cult. And when they were about to leave the mansion, the Godly Doctor called out to Yeowun.

"My Rescuer!"

She bowed down with a grim look to apologize.

"Please forgive me for my foolish action."

She was talking about bringing Hing Wunja to his early death. If she kept her anger in control, Yeowun would have been able to gather more information from him. But what's done was done.

"Don't mind it."

Yeowun then turned cold, and Gam Rosu immediately knelt with her both knees. Yeowun raised his eyebrows. From what he knew about this old woman, it was likely that she would ask for a serious request.

'Uh…'

Of course, he had a guess as to what the doctor was trying to ask him to do. Her granddaughter was a captive at the 18 River Families for over a year. It was certain that she would be concerned.

"I know I am not in a position to ask, but I have to ask you to help me."

Tears ran down her wrinkly face. He felt sympathetic to see such an old woman crying like this.

"My granddaughter is being held by the pirates of the Yellow River. It's been already a year… I can't let that go on."

'I knew it.'

As Gam Rosu continued, everyone frowned. They already used too much time at the lands of the forces of justice. But if they were to now move onto the lands of the forces of evil, it was likely that they would be spotted.

"Please help this helpless grandmother find her granddaughter."

Gam Rosu asked for sympathy to try to get help. She thought if Yeowun and others had at least a little bit of sympathy, he would help. But that was the wrong move.

"I'm sorry but I can't help you."

Gam Rosu became grim from the unexpected refusal. She did not expect that Yeowun would refuse right away.

'That's not something we should deal with.'

All of Yeowun's members shared the same idea. They were sympathetic of what Gam Rosu was going through, but it didn't mean they had to risk their lives in order to help. Besides, she already promised that she would go treat Chun Yujong when she was allowed to ask the question to Hing Wunja.

'No…! T-they are too cold!'

Gam Rosu frowned at Yeowun and the group's solemn answer. It looked like she wouldn't get any help at this rate.

"Let's go now."

"Yes, master!"

'N-no!!'

Gam Rosu then bang her head on the ground and quickly shouted.

"I-if you rescue my granddaughter, I will serve you as my master forever!!"

Everyone became shocked. What Gam Rosu just said wasn't a simple matter. It was the Godly Doctor herself, claiming that she would serve them in exchange. The value of the Godly Doctor, known to heal every injury and disease, was huge. If she was putting herself as a bargaining chip, then it was well worth it.

'Please…'

Her back shook from the hope of being helped. If Yeowun was to refuse even then, then there was no way for her to get her granddaughter back.

[My Lord! This is a great opportunity!]

Yang Danwa sent a telepathic message with an excited look. It had a risk, but it was a risk worth taking if this was the case. Yeowun raised his hand to signal him to remain calm.

'Godly Doctor pledging allegiance…'

Yeowun thought for a moment. His cold heart didn't move at the sympathetic approach, but this bargain was something worth considering. It seemed it was good for either Yeowun or the Demonic Cult. His thoughts didn't last long.

'Ah?'

Gam Rosu's body was immediately brought up by strong energy force. She looked up and Yeowun warned her with low voice.

"I hope you don't forget what you just promised."

"Ah…!! My rescuer!"

She began to weep with joy. She was concerned that her last resort would fail, but it had been accepted.

"It is as you said, Lieutenant Hu."

"What?" Hu Bong asked back curiously at Yang Danwa's sudden words. Yang Danwa laughed.

"We will get to see the pirates after all."

"O-oh! You're right!"

They were now bound to fight against pirates of the Yellow River. Gam Rosu wept for a while and later asked carefully.

"I am sorry, but I have not learned the name of my rescuer yet. Please, tell me your name."

She did not know anything about the man other than that he was the master of all others. Yeowun then spoke to Gam Rosu.

"I am Chun Yeowun."

"Chun Yeowun?"

It was familiar. The name of 'Chun' was very rare within the Jianghu anyway.

'That's interesting… but the name sounds… Chun Yeowun… wait. WAIT!'

Gam Rosu's eyes grew large as she remembered what she overheard when warriors from the forces of justice a while ago.

'N-new lord of the Demonic Cult?'

Everyone knew that the Lord of Demonic Cult recently changed, and the forces of justice also knew this very well.

'S… so I just promised that I will serve the Lord of the Demonic Cult??'

Chun Yeowun's group was now going south horseback. As they rode down to the south, Yeowun asked Yang Danwa, "Do you know where this Yongho Family is at?"

Yeowun had learned many information about important organizations and groups of the Jianghu when he left, but the 18 River Families were among those who didn't have a definite location.

"I do not know, sir."

"Hmm."

The couldn't search through every pirate base. Yeowun seemed to be concerned and Yang Danwa laughed.

"Don't worry, master. I do not know, but I know someone who does."

Chapter 296: Yongho Family (3)

In the deep forest, about 10 miles away from the Sword Creek. Men who hid their faces under bamboo hats were running through the forest. They all had dark clothing, but they had striking blue sashes on their waists that stood out. And as they ran, the one in front suddenly stopped.

"Master, what is it?"

With the man stopping, over 30 men that followed came to a stop and one of them asked the man at the front.

"I smell blood in the area."

"Blood?"

They couldn't smell anything. The man then began to walk toward some direction and as they walked in further into the bush, they found something hidden beneath.

"Oh…"

There was a trace of a big fight within the bushes and trees. It was hidden, but the fight seemed to be too severe that not all of it was disposed. There were over tens of trees that were cut down from the fight also.

'…It's a fight between superior master level warriors.'

Traces of energy left by superior master level warriors lingered for a long time. The energy that was left within these traces was evidence of the huge fight.

"Dig up that place."

"Yes, master."

There was a certain part of the ground that looked like its dirt had been stacked artificially. As the men went on to dig it up, they saw a pair of arms and legs within the dirt.

"Huh? T…These are a monk's clothes."

Arms and legs had pieces of its clothes still intact, and they were a part of monk robes. There weren't any other body parts, so it was likely that the body was either thrown elsewhere or taken away. The only monk they knew who could fight was one person. One of the Strong Nine, and the elder of the Mudan clan. Hing Wunja.

'There must be a problem.'

The man who was called master was certain that something happened. As he thought he should go to Sword Creek quickly, another man called out to him.

"Master! There is a sign here!"

"Sign?"

The man was standing by certain large tree. About 4 meters up, there was writing that was carved out by a sword. It was a secret sign for them. The man knew this sign as they were from the same Blue Sky Brotherhood that symbolized this sign.

One of the men quickly climbed up the tree as they found something hidden by the tree branch. It was a book that was created with unique slick paper.

"We have found this up on the tree."

"What is this?"

First half of the book seemed to be ripped apart, and only the latter half was intact. The first page had the drawing of a human body. This was the treasure that Godly Doctor searched for, and Hing Wunja hid it.

The Yulin three power division was maintained for over hundreds of years. Yulin clan of the forces of justice, Alliance of the forces of evil, and the Demonic Cult. These three groups divided the region of Yulin into three. West was the home of the forces of evil, whereas the north was occupied by the Yulin clan, and the Demonic Cult stayed behind in the south. And when these three warring factions fought each other, there was one place that was usually kept quiet. It was the city of Meking. It was a location where three regions met, where no forces took over. This was a neutral place, but not for the purpose of peace. It was only kept neutral because of the power balance that maintained between those three.

"L…Look at those people! I think they are from the forces of evil! Look at that scar! Whoa!"

Hu Bong spoke erratically as Bakgi shook his head. It was normal to see many warriors from the forces of evil, as they were at the border of the three factions. Hu Bong pointed out was people with many scars. Bakgi also had a scar over his eyes, but it looked like a scratch compared to them.

"Be quiet… stop trying to gain attention."

"Okay…"

Hu Bong became depressed by Bakgi's words. It was understandable that Hu Bong would get excited for coming into such big city for the first time, but he still talked too much. If Mun Ku was here also, Bakgi would have gone mad from two of them talking endlessly. At least Mun Ku wasn't with them.

"Master, this way please."

They were being led by Fourth Elder Yang Danwa. Only four of them came down to the city of Meking. Chun Yeowun, Hu Bong, Bakgi and Yang Danwa. Yeowun figured their destination could be more dangerous, so Yeowun ordered women to escort the Godly Doctor to the outpost of the Demonic Cult located at northwestern side of Honam castle.

'The 18 River Families keep changing their base, so it will take time for us to find the Yongho family ourselves. It's better we ask those who will know.'

The reason why they came down to Meking city was because it was city located near the Yellow River. They also had heard a rumor about pirates of the 18 River Families often visit this city.

'Back alley?'

Yang Danwa, however, was moving into the back alley of Meking city. The further they moved in, the darker and creepier the city looked.

"Hey! We have a fresh liquor today! Come have a drink!"

"Oh, Mister. Don't you wanna join me on a night of pleasure?"

There were lot of prostitutes and liquor sellers calling out on the street. Most of the customers that roamed the streets looked like bandits or ruffians.

"D-did you see that? Look at that woman… I can see her breast-"

"Hu Bong, please!"

"Bah. Don't pretend you're not interested."

Bakgi shook his head with frustration. But thanks to Bakgi, Hu Bong couldn't speak more than a few words each time.

'Ah… I miss Mun Ku and Ko Wanghur.'

They would have gladly talked things through with Hu Bong. But Yang Danwa was happy to have Bakgi with him, as it helped to quiet Hu Bong down. After walking along the alleyway for a bit, Yang Danwa pointed at a four-story building bright with lights at a distance.

"It's that place, master."

House of Osang.

It was a place that sold liquor and hosted prostitution. There were women outside the building who wore racy dresses, trying to lure people in. It was curious if that was really a information selling place, but they decided to go in. As they got to the entrance, prostitutes got up to them with a red silk dress and tried to put their arms around Yeowun's people.

"Oh, hey. Are you here to rest?"

"Look at this handsome! I like his arm!"

'Ugh.'

Bakgi became surprised and embarrassed when he felt big breasts of the prostitute touching his arm. Hu Bong cackled.

'Haha! See! You like it too!'

"Oh, this short-haired man is with me!"

"Ahhhh"

But Hu Bong too became embarrassed when a prostitute got to him. It felt even dizzy to be surrounded with this many women. That's when Yang Danwa spoke to them.

"We want a spot with three teacups."

Report chapter

"Oh…"

All of the women became disappointed as they listened, and guided the group inside. It seemed like they didn't want to try to lure them anymore. The group was then guided to the third floor. Unlike the first and second floor where there were guests who drank liquor and wanted prostitutes, this floor had a heavier atmosphere. When they walked over, guests who were sitting down glanced over at them.

'They are all martial artists.'

All of them had weapons, but ranged from swords and blades to flails and other unique weapons.

"Sit here please."

A server on the third floor got to them and guided them into an empty spot. On the table, there was a pot and three teacups with three different colors.

"Please order and call again."

When the server returned, Yang Danwa sent a telepathic message.

[My lord. This is the secret information selling place within Mekin city. You can consider it similar to the Hao family.]

'Ah.'

There were many clans and families in Yulin, and some of them specialized in selling information. The forces of justice had the Gae Merchant Group while the forces of evil had the Hao family. But this place seemed like they only worked at Meking City.

[This region is neutral, so they are selling information to all three factions.]

Either the Hao Family or the Gae Merchant Group did not sell their information outside their factions, yet this place was located in a neutral city, so they worked for everyone. Yang Danwa pointed at the three cups.

[These three cups showed the rank of information being asked for. Red was low, blue was middle and white was high rank.]

[…And what rank will our request fall under?]

[My guess is in the middle.]

They were asking the location of one of the 18 River Family, so it was not low-ranking information. The rank would increase if they were to ask the exact location of a certain person or object.

[What do we pay with?]

[I usually pay them with money. But there are times when they require information in return.]

Yang Danwa never experienced being asked information, but he heard that it was the case. Yang Danwa then poured the tea into the blue cup. The server returned to check and exchanged telepathic messages with Yang Danwa, to listen to what kind of information that was being asked.

"Please wait here."

The server then walked up back to the upper floor. Soon, he returned and spoke to them.

"I apologize, but I need to change your seating to the upper level."

"Upper level?"

Yang Danwa frowned. This was not the same reaction he experienced when he came last time. Normally, when the rank of the request was confirmed, it was a requirement to pay and the information was served along with food.

"Our owner wants to serve you himself."

"Owner?"

Something seemed a bit off, but Yeowun nodded to signal agreeance and Yang Danwa nodded. The server then guided the party up. Yang Danwa had never gone to the fourth floor yet.

[I am sure that the fourth floor is only open to those who request high-ranking information. This is strange.]

[Well, we have no other place to ask, so we'll see how it goes.]

Yeowun responded as he didn't sense any potential threats nearby. All of the people inside were weaker than them so there was no need to be afraid. As they walked up, there were many rooms and the server guided them into one. As they walked in, they were greeted into a lavishly-decorated room with a middle-aged man with an eyepatch on his right eye waiting for them. To his back, two burly guards were standing. The man got up and greeted them.

"Welcome. I am Man Ou, the owner of the Osang Family House. I figured I would have to serve valuable customers myself."

"I didn't think I would meet the house owner. Thank you."

Yang Danwa bowed to Man Ou who offered them a seat and they sat down. Yang Danwa then asked, "Why did you call us up here? I'm sure I only asked middle-ranking information."

Man Ou then narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"I'm sorry, but that information is ranked at top rank. Or… shall I say, it's a bit complicated?"

"…What do you mean?"

Yang Danwa became confused and Man Ou laughed and took something out of his pocket. It had a certain seal that read 18.

"There are a lot who support us. This was given by one of our supporter. Do you recognize this supporter is?"

After looking at the word that read 18, Hu Bong mumbled.

"18… wait. 18 River Famlies?"

"Haha. Yes, you are quick to notice, young man."

Yang Danwa frowned. He didn't imagine the 18 River Family to be one of the organizations that would support them. Man Ou continued, "But we are open to selling the information we have. So, don't be disappointed."

"If you promise that the reason you are searching their location is not to harm them, and also pay my price, I will tell you where."

This meant that if Yeowun's group wasn't trying to fight with the Yongho Family, the information was open.

Around the room, there were many signs of people gathering outside. There were more than 30 of them now. With enough people gathered, Man Ou got up and spoke.

"Yang Danwa, Officer of the Northern Outpost of Demonic Cult. I heard you returned to the Mountain of Ten Thousand recently."

It seemed Man Ou knew who Yang Danwa was. He then pointed at Chun Yeowun and spoke.

"Well, you must be a high-ranking individual in the cult… yet you escort that man with respect. I am very curious who that young man is."

"What did you say?"

It was Hu Bong and Bakgi who responded furiously. Man Ou laughed.

"Oh? I thought you needed my information? I am just telling you my price."

Yang Danwa frowned. What he was asking wasn't to get the information about Yeowun. Instead, it was an act of refusal to the request.

'You have no choice but to give up on the information.'

Yeowun who were looking at Man Ou who were looking at them triumphantly, spoke.

"Well, you must know where they are for sure then."

"What?"

"UGH!"

At that moment, Yeowun reached out and gestured pulling something, and the powerful force brought one of the guards from behind Man Ou into the air.

"Force energy!"

Yeowun then grabbed the guard's neck when it was thrown toward him. Man Ou became shocked and shouted.

"W-what are you doing!"

"I will talk with the owner."

"What?!"

Yeowun then clenched his hand and spoke.

"AAARGH!"

"Don't pretend you're just a guard, Mr. Owner."

Chapter 298: Yongho Family (5)

Man Ou, the manager of the Osang Family House became shocked. He was under orders from the owner to make up a reason for requesters to leave. They figured that if Yang Danwa, a high-ranking official of the cult, serving a man, then that person would be a really important figure of the cult. Then they were certain that asking the identity of such a man would make them leave.

"UGH!"

They just thought Chun Yeowun to be a mere young man, but it was wrong. If a warrior could use force energy, it proved that the warrior was really powerful.

'W…what. T-this man must be one of the leaders of the cult!'

If the opponent was a superior master level warrior, there was no way they would be a match. They were trying to work things out for other important guests, but it didn't go as they planned.

"Don't pretend you're just a guard, Mr. Owner."

'W-what?! How did he find out?'

Yeowun's word was enough to shock the true owner of the Osang family, who was being held by Yeowun on the neck. He had never revealed his true identity outside the house. But Yeowun found out his hidden identity right away.

'He's the owner?'

Yeowun's members also became shocked as they hadn't imagined it. But to them, they didn't see much difference in power between Man Ou, or the real owner. They were both weaklings.

'No way.'

Man Ou thought he should try to weasel out, so shouted.

"W-what are you talking about! He's my guard warrior!"

"Guard warrior? Don't' lie."

There were hostile energies coming from outside, and the warriors who were on standby ready to charge in at any moment. This wasn't a reaction if a mere guard warrior was being threatened.

[Owner!]

Man Ou sent a telepathic message to the owner, but there was no way for him to respond back as he was held by the neck.

'H-he's a monster!'

The owner was a master level warrior, but he was like an insect compared to Yeowun. If Yeowun put in a bit of power into his grip, the man would die in seconds.

'This is out of our ability. We must apologize and send them back!'

The owner thought about many things in a short moment. It seemed like he had to do something so that there wouldn't be any more problems. And also it was a must that these people would not see other guests.

"P… please…"

The owner tried to ask Yeowun to let him go, but it sounded different than those who were on stand by outside.

'Please… save me?'

Warriors of the Osang Family immediately broke through the wall. Man Ou tried to stop them with shock, but it was too late.

"N-…"

Warriors swung their weapon toward Yeowun's members. But it was no use. Yang Danwa didn't even get up from his seat, and just used his finger to block their swords. The sword shattered as it struck against Yang Danwa.

'H-he broke the sword with his finger!'

There was no way a middle-level warrior could fight against a superior master warrior. The power difference was so huge that Yang Danwa did not even feel the need to get up. The strongest warrior that entered was at the top master level, so they couldn't even win against Hu Bong, who was the weakest among Yeowun's group.

"Ugh!"

"Argh!"

Hu Bong didn't even use his sword as he just simply punched and kicked them away.

"Oh!"

Hu Bong was excited when he struck down these warriors with his bare hands. Hu Bong was already above the average warrior in terms of power compared to people in the entire Yulin, but there were just too many really powerful people around him that made him look week. And after he went to the Sword Creek…

"W-what! Force qi!"

Hu Bong's sword wielded blue light of energy on it and all warriors stopped. Force qi was only used when the warrior was above super master level. They attacked Hu Bong because he looked weakest, but he was at the super master level warrior.

Hu Bong had entered the super master level after he understood from the word written on Sword Creek's stone.

"Are you going to continue? For your information, I'm the weakest in my group."

Hu Bong spoke and all of them dropped their weapon in a sign of surrender. Yeowun scoffed and released his grip from the man.

"Ugh…"

The owner dropped and coughed for a moment and spoke politely.

"…I am sorry to lie about my identity. I am Dahing of the Osang Family House."

"I am Manager Man Ou. I am sorry."

Man Ou also got down to his knees to apologize. They realized that Yeowun's group wasn't a group that they can try to trick. It was better they beg and be spared. Yeowun then asked them.

"You said the 18 River Families support you?"

"…That is correct, sir."

"Then you must be working for them I assume."

"N-no! That's not it. We are partners for the benefit of each other. It is more like a… UGH!"

Dahing's head was stuck in the ground as Bakgi banged it with his hand. Bakgi then threatened to Dahing's ears.

"Don't try to play tricks on my master."

"Y-yes, sir!"

Bakgi threatened Dahing to not make things more unclear by playing word tricks. He didn't care what their relationship with the 18 River Families was.

"Let me ask you. Where is the location of the Yongho Family?"

That was the only thing Yeowun wanted to know. But when he asked, Dahing became weird. It looked like something was wrong.

'There's something going on.'

Yeowun's guess was right. Yeowun then heard Man Ou's telepathic message that was sent to Danhing.

[Owner, I will make them go out of the VIP room. We might get in trouble if…]

[No. They will not leave, you know this. These people are terrifying, but at least we can persuade these people.]

'VIP room?'

Yeowun had been tapping into the telepathic messages ever since he got here. From the conversation, it seemed there was a person that they feared in the VIP room. Dahing then looked up to Yeowun and asked, "Sir… can you please just go this time?"

"What are you talking about?"

Yeowun became curious about such a weird request at such a situation.

"The Three Monsters of Yellow River are here."

"Three Monsters?"

"P…please keep it down!"

Yeowun had never heard of such a name. But Yang Danwa knew the name. It was the name of the three brothers who were infamous among members of the 18 River Families. They were infamous because not only did they raid merchant ships, they killed every man and always kidnapped and raped women. They had bounties on their heads, but they still roamed freely at the city of Meking.

"Do you know them?"

"Yes, Master. The Gar Brothers are very famous."

Yang Danwa then explained what he knew about these three brothers. The important problem was not about their infamous actions, but their backgrounds.

"Their uncle is the leader of the 18 River Family, Gar Mojam the Yellow River Strong."

Gar Mojam the Yellow River Strong. He was one of the Strong Nine, and the fourth rank leader of the Alliance of the forces of evil. Yeowun knew the name also. There was also a rumor that it was his presence that allowed pirates to roam freely on the Yellow River without being arrested by the local government. But in truth, it was because of enormous bribery made by the 18 River Families.

"So, they have backgrounds."

"Yes."

Gar Mojam was famous for being evil and sadistic in nature, but was known for loving his brothers and families. There was an incident where Gar Mojam tracked down those who attacked the Bokpeng Family that the Three brothers were in, and wiped every one of related people. After that, it was rumored that no one should fight against the Gar Brothers and the Bokpeng Family.

[Sir.]

That's when Dahing sent a telepathic message to Yeowun.

[The Bokpeng Family is our supporter. We give them information about merchant ships sailing through the river, and we are being protected by them in return.]

Dahing then began to explain his side of the story. He glanced at the warriors around and continued.

[And… there are spies that are sent by Bokpeng Family within us.]

Yeowun became surprised. There was a reason why Dahing was being so careful. There was a chance that a spy will turn him over if he made a mistake.

[It will be over for you if you get the information, but my and our famliy's life depends on them. Please consider!]

Three Monsters of Yellow River was famous for attacking anyone if they felt like it. When they usually came here, they stayed for 3 days at least to play and enjoy, and today was only the first day. And if something happened at the Yongho Family, then it was likely for these brothers to accuse the Osang Family House for selling that piece of information.

Dahing bumped his head to the ground and spoke.

"I am terribly sorry, but I cannot sell you the information."

[Sir, please. Help us!]

This was a gamble for him. He didn't know, but Yeowun and Yang Danwa were probably important figures of the Demonic Cult. Cultists were also usually cold and merciless, but they were at least gentlemen compared to the Three Monsters of Yellow River which consisted of pirates that took up killing and robbery as their bread and butter.

'Even if these people are from the Demonic Cult… they will understand us as we can't do anything to those Gar brothers.'

Dahing thought that would be the case. But he didn't realize that Yeowun's thoughts and actions weren't that anyone can predict.

"…I see. I didn't imagine you would have such an issue. Are those Gar Brothers downstairs?"

"Oh!"

Yeowun knew where these brothers were as he sensed them with his senses but asked anyway. Dahing figured that Yeowun understood his difficulties and was going to leave, so he answered brightly.

"Thank you for your consideration. Yes, they are residing in VIP room on the second floor."

Yeowun then turned against his members and ordered, "Did you hear that? Hu Bong, Bakgi. Go down and bring those brothers up here."

All people from the Osang Family House became shocked. And as for Hu Bong and Bakgi, they didn't even hesitate for a second at the order and ran out of the room.

"Yes, master!"

"W-what?! S-sir! You just said you will help us!"

"Me? Help you? I don't recall saying that."

Dahing frowned at Yeowun's cold reply. Yeowun was right that he never said he would help Dahing or do anything in his favor. Dahing then spoke frantically.

"What are you trying to do!?"

"This."

At that moment, Yeowun reached out and twisted his hand. With that, one of the warriors standing by the wall had his neck snapped and fell to the ground.

"Ugh!"

With a warrior dying instantly from his neck being snapped, people within the room became shocked.

"Yi Chan! Yi Chan!"

A warrior with a beard who stood next to the man quickly went down to check, but spoke with a pale face.

"H-he's dead!"

"Hiiiek! Just with a flick of a hand?!"

Every person within the room became pale from terror. They knew that Yeowun was a powerful warrior when he used the force energy, but they didn't imagine he would be so much more powerful that he could kill a man from a distance with the mere gesture of a hand.

'H-he's not like any warrior!'

That young man was a warrior of another level and as they realized this, everyone became so terrified that they couldn't even breathe.

'W-what?!'

Dahing and Man Ou, however, were more frustrated than terrified. They couldn't predict what Chun Yeowun was even thinking.

[Dammit! Gosun is dead! We might die at this rate!]

[I'm sorry to the Gar Brothers, but we should escape!]

And with the sound of the telepathic message, Yeowun turned into a smile.

"Found it."

"What?"

Yeowun then reached his two hands out and gestured of pulling it toward him, and two warriors who were focusing energy into their feet to run away were pulled forward, sending them down into the ground.

"Ugh!"

"I-I can't move!"

They tried to stand up, but powerful energy pressed them down so that they couldn't move. And in the next moment, their necks were snapped just like the other warrior and died. Dahing was shocked when he saw the faces of these two dead men. These two and another man that died just before were the spies that were sent by Gar Brothers. The Osang Family House already identified who spies were within them.

'H…how can this be? How did he find out these spies?'

It was beyond just disbelief to see such a thing. There was no prior information, and Yeowun would have seen them for first time. Then how did Yeowun managed to find these people out? That's when Dahing heard Yeowun's telepathic message.

[Do you have any more spies?]

[N-no, sir.]

It took a month of investigation for Dahing to find three spies among them. But Yeowun only took minutes. He then did not even hesitate in killing these men.

'Who is this man?!'

Dahing now became really curious about the identity of this man. That's when someone began to come up the stairs. As they turned at the entrance, Bakgi And Hu Bong walked in, dragging three naked men in their 30s behind them.

'T-they really brought them here!'

'Oh no…'

They were the Gar Brothers. They had been enjoying their time with prostitutes just until while ago, so they were all naked and drunk. Their bodies were bruised up and also had their blood points sealed, so they couldn't move nor talk.

"We are back, Master."

'N-no! This has gone too far!'

Dahing became grim at the sight of three brothers being dragged up here. If they were dragged up in that state, then there was no going back now. They couldn't say anything with their blood points sealed, but their body was reddened from rage.

[W-why are you doing this! I told you that our House depends on…]

Dahing sent a telepathic message quickly to Yeowun, but Yeowun just answered it through his mouth.

"Why would I care about your House?"

"What?"

Yeowun did not care about the existence of the House. Whatever the case, Yeowun only cared if the matter was related to himself.

"S-sir?!"

"That is your business, not mine."

'DAMMIT!'

Dahing then realized he had made a bad decision. This man was worse than the three brothers. The Gar Brothers were at least manageable if they were given what they wanted. But a man like Yeowun was a type that could never be managed.

'This is dangerous. I might lose everything at this rate.'

Yeowun then walked up to the man on the left, among three brothers, and unsealed him. With the third brother Gar Ren now free to talk, he spat with rage.

"You, motherf*cking bastard! Do you know who I am? Let me go, you f*cking…"

"Shut up."

"UGH!"

Hu Bong became angry and struck Gar Ren's head from behind.

"How dare you say in such a way? You want to die?"

Hu Bong was okay with most of the other things, but he couldn't bear speaking ill of his master Chun Yeowun. Gar Ren became dumbfounded and glared, but he couldn't move his neck so he was just looking at the ground instead of turning his neck around to glare at Hu Bong.

"F*cking…"

He didn't stop cussing. These were men who took up robbery, kidnapping, murder, and rape as their daily job, so they were very rough in every way. Yeowun then spoke to them coldly.

"I don't care who you are. Let me ask you one thing. If you don't answer, I will cut off your head."

"What?!"

All three brothers became shocked when they heard this. They had seen many bold enemies until now, but it was the first time that they were being threatened with their lives. Most enemies they met were fearful of their uncle, Gar Mojam. Gar Ren then shouted to Dahing.

"D-dammit! Hey, Dahing! What the f*ck are you doing! Are you going to leave these bastards like…"

"Kill him."

With Yeowun's order, a blade shot through Gar Ren's neck. It was Yang Danwa with his blade.

"Like… lik…."

Gar Ren's head was cut down and blood began to pour out from the neck. The two other brothers were drenched with the blood of their third brother.

'B-brother!'

'H-he cut his head off!!!'

With warm blood covering their naked bodies, the two brothers shook with fear. They were more terrified than becoming enraged by the death of their brother.

"…If you speak foolishly, you will also die."

Yeowun spoke coldly as he looked down at the other two with an emotionless face. And Yang Danwa moved his blade across the ground, making a shrieking sound as if he was threatening them, just like an executioner. The two brothers became pale from fear.

'T-this bastard will really kill us!'

'…We might even die!'

They finally realized the gravity of the situation. They realized that there was no way this man would stop just because of their uncle.

'Ah…'

'W-what have we done…!'

As for Dahing and Man Ou, they couldn't even think straight as they looked at the head of Gar Ren rolling on the ground. Things had gone too far and there was no going back. Yeowun then went over to the first brother, Gar Mou, to make him talk.

"Where is the Yongho Family? Tell me their location."

"Y-Yongho family?"

Gar Mo became surprised when he was asked about Yongho Family instead of his Bokpeng Family. But these men would surely attack the Yongho Family if he told them their location.

'W-what should I do?'

They were pirates, but the most important rule of the 18 River Families was to never betray each other. But Gar Mo thought lying might cost his life. After going through many thoughts in a short moment, Gar Mo chose to betray his fellow pirates.

"I-if you go out east and follow the river about 50 miles down, you will reach Domen Mountain. And by the corner where the river splits, you will find them."

Gar Mo revealed the location of Yongho Family. Fellow pirates were important, but his own life was more important than that. Yeowun then turned to Dahing and Dahing nodded with a grim look, confirming the information to be the truth.

'There was no need to ask them.'

Yeowun's original plan was to kill these three brothers and make Dahing tell him the location of Yongho Family, but he got the answer before that. Gar Mo then looked up to Yeowun and begged.

"P-please let me live! I told you what you wanted to know!"

"You are mistaken."

"Since when did I say I'd let you live?"

"W-what?!"

Gar Mo's face turned pale. He sold his fellow pirates, so he thought he could live. But…

"Kill them all."

"Y-you bas…"

With Yeowun's order, Yang Danwa immediately sliced his head. Gar Mo died not even realizing he was killed. There was no promise given from the beginning. Yeowun did not like leaving potential threats. If they were to survive, it was likely that they would go to Gar Mojam and tell him what happened.

"You are the last."

Yang Danwa then swung his blade on the last brother. And second brother Gar Tek was killed without even getting a chance to speak. It seemed he was too terrified by watching his two brothers being killed, as he peed before he died.

'T-this is the Demonic Cult!'

'These people have no mercy!'

And all others from the Osang Family House were too terrified from what they just witnessed. They did hear that the Demonic Cult was more cruel and merciless in some way, but they now witnessed it with their own eyes. Dahing then looked at Yeowun with a fearful look. Yeowun had acquired the information he wanted, so maybe it was their turn now. But…

"Let's go."

"Yes, master."

Yeowun ordered and began to leave.

'H-huh? Why?'

Chun Yeowun didn't seem to be interested in them anymore. Dahing became dumbfounded as they were leaving the room, and suddenly asked, "W-why are you letting us live?!"

He was curious. He couldn't understand why the man who would even kill Gar Brothers would not kill them. It seemed better if the man killed them to remove any spill of information. Yeowun stopped and answered.

"Didn't you tell me where the Gar Brothers were yourself? You and I are on the same team. I only helped you."

"W-what? That's nonsense!"

"Well, I got the information I need, so I paid my price."

Dahing became shocked when Yeowun said that he had given help. If the spies were alive, it might have been more dangerous, but the spies were all dead.

'…He just changed his mind.'

"Hah…"

Fortunately, it seemed Yeowun was considering the information he got from the Gar Brothers to be given by the Osang Family House. Dahing sighed in relief. Yeowun then laughed and spoke to Dahing.

"Oh, and just for your information. You have one more spy within your family. I'm sure you can take care of that yourself."

Dahing's eyes then grew large with shock.

'W-what?! There's one more?!'

He thought three people that Yeowun killed were all of them, but if there was one more hidden, then this was really bad. If Yeowun found three spies immediately, then it was likely that Yeowun knew the existence of another spy. And if Dahing did not find this spy, then it was likely that the message will go to Gar Mojam, eventually killing Dahing. He had to find the spy.

"Nobody leaves this room!!"

"What?"

Dahing ordered every warrior within the room to not leave as Yeowun and his members left. As they got out of the building and walked the alleyway, Hu Bong asked Yeowun.

"Master, how did you find another spy?"

Yeowun then laughed, "It's a lie."

"What?"

"There are no more spies."

"No? But… OH!"

Chun Yeowun's last warning was actually false. The Osang Family House did not have anymore spies. But Yeowun's lie had put suspicion on everyone within that room.

"It's a great tactic, master," Yang Danwa commented in amazement. This probably ensured that Dahing and people within that house would grow suspicious of each other and not even think about doing anything else about Yeowun and his members.

"Let's make haste. We will find the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor before midnight."

"Yes, master!"

Chapter 302: Disaster above a ship (1)

After getting out of Meking City, Chun Yeowun and his group traveled east along the Yellow River for 50 miles. They moved on horse so it didn't take too much time. As they got to the destination, the sun HAD halfway disappeared over the horizon and the Yellow River had turned red by the sunlight.

"Whoa."

"This is beautiful."

They were riding on a horse by the river, and the sight of the river at the sunset was spectacular. This wasn't something that Yeowun, Hu Bong or Bakgi saw as they grew up within the castle of the Demonic Cult.

After running through for a while, they were now near the Domen Mountain area. As Gar Tak said, the river was split into two, with one small river going to the left.

"There really is a split."

They went left toward the small river that was running toward Domen Mountain. After some point, the mountain was now getting in the way so they had to leave their horses and travel on foot. After climbing through the mountain, they saw tens of shacks hidden behind the mountain. It was the location of the Yongho Family.

"Wow. I see why they can't be found," Hu Bong commented. This pirate village was located at a natural fortress, hidden away within the mountain and rivers. The village was located right by the river, so it looked easy to move via boats, best hideout for pirates.

"I see watchtowers."

Yang Danwa pointed out with his hand. As he said, there were some watchtowers with warriors standing watch over it. The watchtowers were well located so that they could spot anyone coming near the village.

'They aren't just mere bandits then.'

It was surely a home of one of the 18 River Families, the infamous organization of the Forces of Evil. There was no way that the security would be any less.

"That ship is quite large."

Yeowun then pointed at the two large ships docked by the dock at the village. They saw many ships over at the river while they traveled down here, but that ship was much larger than any of the others.

"Hm… this is strange."

Yang Danwa seemed curious however. Yeowun turned at him and Yang Danwa explained.

"As far as I know, their ships are not small, but they aren't THAT big either. They are pirates… their ships are bit smaller and made to travel at much faster speeds."

Yang Danwa had the experience of fighting against pirate ships of the 18 River Families, so he was aware of their ships. But those two ships at the village were much larger than any of the ships that Yang Danwa saw. Those ships looked like they were made to load lots of cargo.

"Oh, look at that!"

Hu Bong then pointed out the people moving along with the heavy load. Over twenty men were moving stuff by a pull cart and were moving toward the dock. It seemed they were moving everything they had within the village down there.

"I think they are dismantling that shack there," Bakgi said as he pointed out. There were four men working on a shack to dismantle it. It wasn't apparent at first, but they now realized that one third of shacks within the village were already dismantled. Yang Danwa then spoke to Yeowun.

"Master, I think they are moving their base."

"Their base?"

Yang Danwa concluded that they were in the process of relocating. Yang Danwa knew that the pirates relocated their base to avoid being spotted by the government or enemies. It was interesting that they arrived when these pirates were preparing to move. But it had its benefit.

"Maybe this is a good chance. If we use this to our advantage, maybe it will allow us to take back the Godly Doctor's granddaughter without much problem."

Under normal circumstances, a huge fight was inevitable against these pirates. But if they were busy preparing to relocate, maybe it was going to make it easy to infiltrate into them and find the target.

"We will have to look into it first."

"Yes."

They needed information. The first thing to know was if these pirates were really trying to relocate, and second, was to find out where the granddaughter was being held.

"Bakgi."

"Yes, Master."

Yeowun pointed out at the closest watchtower from their location. There were two watchers on it.

"Can you quietly bring them here?"

"I will try, Master."

Bakgi specialized in kick skills, so he was also best among the Six Swords in stepping skills. Even if there were watchers on the watchtower, they were merely top-level warriors so it didn't seem that hard to kidnap them.

"Then I'll be back soon."

Bakgi then quietly moved out. Soon, he was already at the watchtower. Yeowun and others were looking down from the mountain, so everything was clearly visible.

'He's doing good.'

Bakgi quickly got up to the watchtower and snapped one of watcher's necks. And when the other man tried to scream with shock, Bakgi sealed his bloodpoint and snapped the back of the head to make him pass out.

"Whew."

It wasn't a hard task, but he had to do it secretly so it made Bakgi a bit sense. Bakgi then took up the unconscious man up and got down. That's when something unexpected happened.

"W-what are you!?"

It was time for a shift change. Bakgi tried to charge at them but…

"UGH!"

Hu Bong and Yang Danwa appeared behind them and quickly killed them. They saw other watchers approaching the tower so they quickly came after Bakgi to help. It could have revealed them if they were a bit late.

"Were you surprised? Hehe."

"N-no, I wasn't."

Bakgi shook his head at Hu Bong's tease.

"Be quiet and move those bodies first."

"Yes, sir."

Hu Bong and Bakgi then took these two bodies into bushes away from the watchtower. Yang Danwa took the unconscious man up and brought him back to Yeowun.

"We were lucky. They will not realize for a while since we even got the other watchers who came to change shifts."

But that would surely not last too long. It was only a matter of time when someone would realize that the watchtower had been missing of watchers for too long. They had to make it quick. Yang Danwa woke the man up.

The man woke up and realized he was kidnapped and became shocked. Yang Danwa warned before he unsealed him to make him talk.

"If you scream, we will kill you. Nod if you understand."

With a cold blade touching the neck, the man nodded frantically. He didn't seem to want to die. Yang Danwa unsealed his blood point and asked, "Is the Yongho family relocating today?"

"Y-yes, sir."

It was as expected. Before asking the location of the Godly Doctor's granddaughter, Yang Danwa asked something else first.

"Why today?"

"W-we are told that our location has been compromised."

"Compromised?"

Yeowun frowned, wondering if it was because of them.

'No way. We came straight down here.'

Yeowun's group left Meking City right after they killed Gar Brothers, so it was impossible for that to be known already. Yang Danwa questioned the man to see if he knew who found out about their location, but the man didn't seem to know that.

"I-I really don't know, sir!"

It seemed he was telling the truth. Yang Danwa then moved onto ask the most important question.

"Where is the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor?"

"What? Granddaughter of… who?"

Yang Danwa pushed the blade that was on the neck.

"Hiiiiiiiik!!!"

"Don't try to fool me."

"I-I don't know! I don't know anything about a granddaughter. I mean, we don't even have anyone being kept from the outside right now!"

"What?"

That was strange. This was about the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor, and it was Hing Wunja, under the truth serum, who spoke. He said he messaged the Yongho family to retrieve her any time, so that wasn't a lie.

'Hmmm…'

Yeowun then changed the question.

"Do you know a woman named Gam Miyan? She should be muscular and have a dot on her nose…"

Gam Rosu said her granddaughter closely resembled her. She also mentioned that all members of her family trained their muscles to better treat patients, so it was easy to recognize.

"Muscular woman? Oh! You mean the First Mate's loot… I mean, his woman!"

The man recognized the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor right away when given the specifics. It seemed the Yongho Family wasn't aware of who this woman really was. It looked like Hing Wunja hid the truth purposely so that the Yongho family would not use the hostage for their own benefit to bring out the Godly Doctor. But there was another problem.

"First Mate's… woman?"

That message did not bode well to everyone. It seemed a year in the village of pirates had taken a drastic turn.

"This won't be good news to Granny Gam."

"…Looks like it."

Even if they kidnapped her due to deal with Hing Wunja, there was no way pirates would leave a woman alone for a year. As Hu Bong said, it was likely that Gam Rosu will wail over what happened if she finds out.

"Then where is she?"

At least they knew that she was alive, so they needed the location. Yang Danwa asked and the man answered with a shaking voice.

"S-she's on the ship."

"You mean that ship?" Yang Danwa asked as he pointed out the large ships at the docks. The man then shook his head and pointed toward the riverbed where it connected to the main Yellow River and spoke.

"Our leaders are all on the ships over at the river."

"What?"

Yeowun became surprised and quickly took steps to climb up a tall tree. And there he saw five battleships staying stationary in the middle of the river just before it connected back to the Yellow River.

"Dammit…!"

Chapter 304: Disaster above a ship (3)

About an hour ago, Chun Yeowun and Hu Bong found a small village by the small river. There was a small fishing village that maintained themselves by fishing at the river, where Yeowun was able to purchase a small boat. Two of them then set sail on the river to meet up with the others at the appointed time. The speed of the water was faster than they thought.

"M-master! It's already so fast without a row!"

Hu Bong, who said it was fine, soon became tense. Yeowun, who was at the end of the boat, took the key and felt the speed of river becoming faster.

'If I make any mistake or bump into something, I might not be able to haul them.'

Yeowun clenched the key. And after moving down the river for a long time, they saw faint light over in the middle of the river. But suddenly, the faint light immediately began to grow large and brightened up the whole ship.

"M-master! It suddenly became bright!"

"…I think there's a problem."

Yeowun frowned. Their plan didn't have any potential risks. They weren't sure how they were spotted, but it was certain that these pirates were preparing to fight.

"W-what should we do? The water's becoming more rapid!"

Their small boat was moving through the river water very quickly. It seemed like they were going to shoot past the ship of Yongho Family at this rate.

"I guess we can't do it quietly then."

"What?"

"We have no choice. Let's board their ship."

Yeowun then pulled the cloth off his wrist. The black metal above his wrist then scattered and turned into a sword. Hu Bong's eyes grew large as it was always amazing to see each time. When Yeowun sent energy into the Sky Demon Sword, the sword began to float itself as if it were alive. The sword lowered down, as if it was telling them to hop on it. Yeowun got up on the sword and sent his energy to make his feet stick on the sword and spoke.

"Come here, Hu Bong."

"Y-yes?"

"We'll fly, so I'll carry you up."

Mun Ku would have been more than happy to jump up to Yeowun, but Hu Bong became a bit embarrassed. Yeowun laughed and snatched Hu Bong and immediately flew up in the air.

"Waaaaaaaah! M-Master!"

Hu Bong became pale as he was dangling in the air with Yeowun grabbing his arm. After flying through the dark sky, Yeowun quickly jumped down onto the ship. Their boat struck the battleship of Yongho family and sank. The speed was too fast for such boat to withstand anymore. Hu Bong, who did not hear Yeowun say that he was going to go, rolled on the floor when he dropped. He then got up and became shocked to find countless pirates surrounding them.

'T-this is too many!'

He knew that there were a lot of them, but it felt different when seeing them up close. Pirates were looking back at Chun Yeowun who was floating in the air with a dumbfounded look.

Flying air sword. It was a technique that only existed in legends, only possible in theory with an extreme level of power in both sword skill and stepping skill. It was a technique that can only be used by supreme master level warriors, so it was obvious why all these pirates were terrified.

'I-it's not him!'

With Chun Yeowun's apperanace, the man who once found Hing Wunja's remains back at Sword Creek realized that the killer wasn't Yang Danwa. But of course, Yeowun wasn't behind those cut off limbs. Yeowun glanced around to check the enemy's power.

'Two.'

The only men significant enough above this ship was the man hiding his face with a bamboo hat, and the leader of the Yongho Family, Bok Hosun. The man was at the superior master level warrior level, and Bok Hosun was at the super master level. The only annoying thing was that there were just too many enemies.

'There are about 300 at least.'

And Yeowun heard Fourth Elder Yang Danwa's telepathic message coming through his ears.

[My lord. It was a trap.]

Yang Danwa quickly briefed on what he knew. During the process of rescuing, Gam Miyan blew a while to signal these pirates, and it seemed that the man with bamboo hat had worked with these pirates to set traps. Yeowun then glanced over at Gam Miyan, the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor who was frantically trying to hide with a dagger in her hand. With Yeowun's cold eyes gazing at her, she flinched with fear. The trap was set by that man with the bamboo hat, so it was acceptable but Yeowun couldn't understand Gam Miyan's actions although she was said to be kidnapped. That's when the man shouted to Yeowun.

"Are you a warrior from the Blade God Six Martial clan?"

Yeowun raised his right eyebrow at the question. It seemed that man had mistaken Yeowun to be a warrior from the Blade God Six Martial clan. And with this simple question, Yeowun was able to guess two things.

'They must have come here after checking what happened at Sword Creek.'

Yang Danwa told Yeowun that the man with the bamboo hat knew that they were here for the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor. And if that man was asking Yeowun if he was a warrior from the Blade God Six Martial clan, it was certain that the man had seen the remains of masked men from the Blade God Six Martial clan left within the mansion.

'Blue sash…? Oh!'

Yeowun was able to make an educated guess on who that man was.

"…You are from the Blue Sky Brotherhood."

With Yeowun's words, the man's eyes grew large with shock. It seemed he was shocked that the who seemed to be from the Blade God Six Martial clan knew the secret Blue Sky Brotherhood organization.

[M-master! What do you want us to do! I-I think he's too powerful!!]

That's when Yeowun heard Bok Hosun, leader of the Yongho Family, sending telepathic messages to the man. Bok Hosun was terrified to see Chun Yeowun flying on an air sword. But the man was also frustrated by what was going on.

'This man knows about our organization and even has the doctor with him.'

That alone was enough to risk his life to fight Yeowun. But it wasn't him who made a move first.

"I will take the person you kidnapped."

"What?"

In the air, Yeowun gestured pulling something with his hand. And with that, Gam Miyan, who had been standing among pirates, floated in the air and was thrown to where Yang Danwa and Bakgi were standing.

"N-no!"

A few pirates tried to grab her but they were too slow.

"Force energy!"

All of the pirates were martial artists so they all knew what that was. After seeing the use of force energy, they now realized Chun Yeowun wasn't someone they could fight against.

'No way! We lost the Godly Doctor's granddaughter!'

The man didn't expect to lose Gam Miyan with such action. Bakgi quickly kicked Gam Miyan's wrist to make her drop the dagger and sealed her bloodpoints so that she couldn't move. She tried to say something but her bloodpoints sealed her from talking.

"NNNGH!"

"Be still, Miss Gam."

She couldn't resist as she couldn't move anyway. And with that, Yeowun jumped down from his sword. The Sky Demon Sword immediately came apart in pieces and gathered back onto Yeowun's wrist. This movement was done quickly to make sure no one noticed the sword with the words 'Sky Demon Sword' written on it.

"Bakgi, protect her."

Chapter 305: Disaster above a ship (4)

"Yes, master."

Yeowun then walked forward. He pulled out the White Dragon Blade from his waist and swung it across the floor. The blade qi coming from the pure white blade made a large cut on the wooden floor of the ship. Pirates became confused and Yeowun warned them.

"I will kill whoever crosses this line."

Nobody could even dare to speak up at such a terrifying voice. Chun Yeowun's presence was that terrifying that the pirates' huge number made no use. It felt like they would all die if they even tried to cross that line.

'Ugh… how can such a monster come out like this!'

Bok Hosun became grim at such pressure. The clear difference in power even made him terrified. That's when the man sent him a telepathic message.

[Captain Bok… is the baby inside the room?]

[Oh! You want to use that baby? There's a problem. I know you told me to, but my First Mate asked me to hide the baby in my room so I hid it there.]

The man then rather became relieved at Bok Hosun's answer. He was from the Forces of Justice, so he actually didn't like the idea of using the baby as a threat even if that was why he asked.

[Ugh. I should've taken the baby with me if I knew this would happen.]

[They wouldn't know, so it doesn't matter.]

[Oh! You are right. They don't know where the baby is!]

[Stay still.]

The man then walked up and shouted at Chun Yeowun.

"I know you are a powerful man, but are you sure you can take that woman out safely from this ship?"

He threatened Yeowun that he would go for the woman instead of Yeowun. The man already guessed why Yeowun and his group were trying to take Gam Miyan with them. Gam Miyan was a must-have to make the Godly Doctor work for whoever's plan as that was the doctor's only weakness.

'I won't let you go with the Godly Doctor's granddaughter!'

That wasn't allowed. The Godly Doctor was the one who knew the grand project that the Blue Sky Brotherhood had been working on. If she decided to help them instead, it was going to be problematic.

'If they can't rescue Gam Miyan, the doctor will see no point in helping them.'

The man knew what kind of person the Godly Doctor was. But he didn't know the other person. Yeowun didn't budge at the threat and spoke.

"Come fight if you think you can stop me," Yeowun shouted as he aimed his blade at the man. It was just a simple action of aiming the sword, but the powerful energy proved that Yeowun wasn't joking.

'Ugh… he is as arrogant as he is powerful. I have no choice.'

The man then decided to resort to the final choice. He glanced at Bok Hosun and Bok Hosun shouted.

"Hmph! We have her husband and baby! Do you think she will help you?"

"Baby?"

Yang Danwa and Bakgi became surprised and turned to Gam Miyan. She couldn't say anything as her blood point was sealed, but her eyes became reddened with tears falling from it.

'So, it was because of a baby.'

They did think her action was inexplicable. Whether it was forced or voluntary, she had a baby with the First Mate of the Yongho Family, and had to help the pirates for her baby who had now become another hostage. Bok Hosun shouted threateningly so that Gam Miyan could hear.

"If I give the order, the baby inside the room is as good as dead! If you even put your finger on my crew, or if Lady Gam leaves this ship, I will kill that baby! Do you hear?!"

Gam Miyan began to shake with fear. Tears kept falling from her eyes, showing how much emotional pain she was in.

"Y-you bastards! You now even take the baby as a hostage?!"

Hu Bong glared at the man with a frown. He knew people from the Forces of Evil didn't care what it took in order to achieve their goal, but he didn't imagine that would include having a baby as a hostage.

'I feel sorry for her, but we have no choice.'

They too had no intention of giving up the chance to persuade the Godly Doctor. This had to be stopped. With Yang Danwa, Bakgi and Hu Bong all frustrated on what to do, the man confirmed that his threat worked.

'It worked!'

"Give us the woman, and we will let you return safely."

The man suggested his side of the offer. The baby wasn't on the ship so their threat was hollow, and if they tried to threaten further to give up the Godly Doctor, it was likely to backfire so the man tried to seal the deal here. But Yeowun did not act according to his prediction.

"What if I say no?"

Bok Hosun and the man became grim. They didn't think Yeowun would say no even if threatened with the life of a baby.

"NNNNNNGH!!!"

Gam Miyan also became so shocked that she stopped crying and glared at Yeowun with her eyes wide from shock. The man frantically sent a telepathic message to Yeowun.

[HAH! You are bluffing. Your choice will kill the Godly Doctor great-grandson. Do you think the doctor will help you even if that happens?]

But Yeowun did not respond to the telepathic message and spoke.

"Kill the baby."

"W-what?!"

The man became shocked.

"D-do you know what you are talking about?!"

"Of course, I do."

At that moment, Yeowun threw the White Dragon Blade toward the crowds of pirates. The blade then shot through the six pirates, penetrating through them and killing them instantly. With Yeowun reaching out, the blade flew back to Yeowun's hand. Bok Hosun shouted furiously.

"Y-YOU!! What are you doing! Do you really want the baby to be killed?!"

Yeowun then answered casually.

"I thought you'd kill the baby if I laid my hand on your crew? Are you not the leader here? Was your threat just a bluff?"

"Nnnngh! Y-you want to do this the hard way?!"

Bok Hosun knew that he had to keep his stance so that his threat wasn't bluffing. He had to make it sound as if he really was up to the threat.

"When my hand drops to the ground, kill the baby!"

"Y-yes, Captain!"

Pirates answered to Bok Hosun to play along as Bok Hosun raised his hand in the air.

"This is final warning! If you don't hand over Lady Gam…"

But before Bok Hosun could finish his words, Yeowun's body became blurry, and a trace of him appeared from behind and then reappeared in front of Bok Hosun.

"W-what?!"

Bok Hosun became shocked and tried to back away immediately, but Yeowun's White Dragon Blade was faster. The blade shot upward like lightning. Bok Hosun's left arm that was raised in the air was cut down and dropped to the ground. Bok Hosun grabbed his shoulder and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! M-my arm! My arm!!!!"

He was the Captain and the leader of the Yongho Family, an admired super master level warrior, but he was nothing against the supreme master level warrior, Chun Yeowun.

"C-captain!!"

The pirates became shocked and Yeowun smirked to them as he said, "What are you doing? Your captain's arm dropped. Weren't you ordered to kill the baby? GO ahead."

"Hiiiiek!"

It was impossible to kill a baby that wasn't on the ship. With all the pirates too terrified to even speak, Yeowun shook his head and stomped down on Bok Hosun who was rolling on the ground from pain.

"Aaaaaaaargh!"

"Do you think you can fool me with your bluffing?"

Bok Hosun finally realized with a pale face that he had chosen the wrong person to mess with.

"Yes! Master did it again!!"

Hu Bong shouted with excitement. Chun Yeowun never fell in trouble against any enemy since the beginning, but Hu Bong thought that it was truly concerning this time. Nobody would have imagined that the enemy would threaten them with a baby. But Yang Danwa was actually fearful of Yeowun.

'Was he certain that they were lying? The Lord sometimes makes me think that he is listening to other people's telepathic messages or can read others' minds.'

Every enemy who fought against Yeowun became shocked, as Yeowun found out their plans as if he knew it ahead of time. But that was impossible, so it was only explainable through boldness and excellent decision-making skills.

'I see how he managed to defeat the six clans.'

It was only possible because it was Chun Yeowun. Yang Danwa then glanced behind to look at Gam Miyan, the Godly Doctor's granddaughter.

"Nnngh…"

She became relieved when she heard that it was a fake threat, and slumped down. Yang Danwa narrowed his eyes.

'That woman is the problem.'

Whatever the case, the baby wasn't here so it was likely that they had to return to the Yongho Family's village to find the baby. She set them up to trap her own baby. It was understandable, but if they did not rescue the baby, then it was likely for her to repeat her actions. That's when Yang Danwa heard Chun Yeowun's telepathic message.

[Elder Yang.]

[Yes, my lord.]

The man became grim. Yeowun said that he knew that they were bluffing on the baby. They didn't know how he found out, but he knew that baby wasn't on the ship.

'Did he find out by using his senses?'

It was curious, but what was certain was that they were no match against that monster.

'We have no choice.'

The man then decided he had to take the chance when the man was only focusing on Bok Hosun. This was the only chance to kill the supreme master level warrior without much loss.

[Homeng!]

[Yes, Master!]

The man sent a telepathic message to one of the warriors hidden behind the pirates. It was a warrior from the Blue Sky Brotherhood who was hiding behind the pirates.

[I will buy some time… you swim to the docks to bring the baby here. If something happens while you do that, just kill the baby.]

[Kill… the baby?]

[If the Godly Doctor works with them, then our Brotherhood's grand plan will fail.]

[…Yes, Master.]

Homeng became hesitant about killing a baby, but he answered. He then carefully moved toward the rear side of the ship. The water was too rapid so it would be hard to swim up, but if he reached the land, it was a short distance down to the village.

'Let's see what you do if our threat becomes a reality.'

He felt sorry for Bok Hosun who was pinned down by Yeowun, but there was no way to rescue him. They needed to buy as much time as possible as it would take at least 20 minutes for Homeng to return with the baby.

"Nnngh… P-please!"

Bok Hosun felt like he would die. He couldn't push Yeowun away even with all of his power. Yeowun's power was enormous, but so was his physical strength coming out from his strengthened muscles. Bok Hosun became terrified from fear of death and showed signs of surrdender.

"I-I will let you go… I mean, I will give you the baby! Please let me live!"

His crew was watching at him, but it was no time to keep his pride. But Yeowun wasn't looking at him anymore. It seemed like he was deep in thought.

"H…hey?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I had to listen to something."

"I just said I will surrender! Please let me live!"

Yeowun then looked down at Bok Hosun and spoke casually.

"Well, I don't think your friend shares your idea."

"W-what are you talking about? What friend are you… wait?!"

"At least I know that I don't need to talk to you anymore."

"W-wait! WAIT!!!!"

Yeowun then increased pressure on the foot stepping on Bok Hosun's chest. With the chest crushing down, with bones cracking up, blood spat out from Bok Hosun's mouth as he screamed.

"Aaaaaaargh!!! Aaaarnrnnnghh…."

The scream did not last long as Yeowun's foot crushed through, and stomped on the heart, killing him instantly.

"C-captain!"

"H-how dare you!!"

A few pirates became enraged by watching their captain dying miserably and charged at Yeowun.

"W-what?! Where is he?!"

"He's gone!'

But their weapon shot through Yeowun as Yeowun was no longer there. Yeowun was already near the front side of the ship.

'What?'

The man became confused. The captain just said he would surrender and also give him the baby. It was a good enough deal for him. But Yeowun just killed the captain without hesitation.

'Ugh… I need more time!'

It wasn't long since his warriors jumped down to the river. They probably were swimming through the river, trying hard to walk up to the land. That's when Yeowun looked at the man and spoke.

"You have lot up on your sleeves."

"What?"

Yeowun then raised his arm and swung his arm toward the dead bodies of the pirates. And with that, the six swords that the pirates used floated up into the air.

"Hiiiiek!"

"S-swords are moving!"

"G-get out!"

Pirates became terrified and began to move frantically, trying to run away from it. But swords did not come after them. Yeowun got up to the ship's end and glanced toward the river and shouted to ask the man.

"I see that they are swimming!"

The man became shocked. He was concerned when Yeowun walked toward the deck, but it was now confirmed that Yeowun knew the man's warriors were down at the river.

'H-how did he find out?!'

He ordered silently while Yeowun was handling the Captain. Even if Yeowun had a strong sense to sense people, it was impossible to sense those who snuck out of the ship when there are 300 warriors around.

"Do you think I will not get to them if they are swimming in the river? Hmm… I think they are still within my range."

The river moved very fast, so those men in the river were already quite far from the ship. But Yeowun said it was enough.

"What are you…"

The man then realized what Yeowun was saying.

"W-wait…"

Yeowun's hand then reached out toward the river, and six swords immediately shot out like lightning toward the river.

"NOOOOOO!!"

The man took steps to charge while pulling out his blade. Blue force qi shot up from his blade and he threw bullet force qi toward the swords that shot through the river. It was his last resort to stop the attack, but there was no way that the force qi would catch up to the sword that was thrown ahead.

And those warriors of the Blue Sky Brotherhood who were swimming through met their end without suspecting it.

"Argh!"

"Ugh!"

Their bodies were penetrated by swords as they were not ready within. They met unexpected death and were drawn into the river water. But not all was struck down.

"D-dammit!"

"Dive!"

Homeng and another man who heard the screaming dove underwater. The sword that killed five people lost its power to move and drawn into the water as it got too far away from the ship.

'Ah…!'

The man then became relieved. It seemed that even the supreme master level warrior couldn't maintain the control of the sword with that far distance. There were only two warriors left, but that was enough for the job. He then shouted.

"You cannot stop them! I'm sure you know where they are headed! Do you see that we are not bluffing now?!"

The man became confident that he now had the upper hand. He didn't think that threatening with the life of a baby was a shame anymore. But Yeowun shook his head and turned.

"Yang Danwa."

"Yes, Master."

Yang Danwa let go of his blade, and the blade stopped in the air. Yang Danwa then jumped on the blade. With his foot stepping on the blade, Yeowun swung his arm in a long stride, and the blade that had Yang Danwa above flew out of the ship.

"W-what?!"

Yang Danwa then jumped up from the blade once it got close to the land, and landed on the ground.

'Yes, I did it!'

Yang Danwa was actually worried since this was his first time, but he brightened up when he succeeded. The man became dumbfounded and watched in disbelief. His two men were still in the river, but Yeowun's man was already on land.

"T-this is impossible!"

The man shouted.

'He used air sword to use as method of transport!'

This was something nobody had thought about. Yeowun could have done this method to send his members up on the ship while ago, but that was too obvious and noticeable, so Yeowun chose to sneak in with the boat. Yeowun then spoke to the man.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I think I will take the baby with me also."

The man became furious at sarcasm and shouted, "Dammit! Do you even know where the baby is?! I'm sure you don't!"

"Wasn't the baby at the captain's quarter?"

"W-what?!"

Yeowun spoke casually and the man became dumbfounded. That was the exact location of the baby.

'T-…this is impossible!'

He didn't think much at first, but he now realized that something was strange.

'How can he know what the captain told me through telepathic message?!'

This was only explainable if Yeowun could overhear the telepathic message. An ability beyond understanding gave something more awe to a person. It gave fear.

'The baby nor the doctor isn't the problem.'

The man finally realized what danger really was. That monster disguised as young man was not only dangerous in its martial power, but with an ability beyond the wildest imagination. If that man could truly overhear telepathic messages, then this was a terrifying ability.

'I have to find a way to either kill him here or escape alive to tell this to the others!'

Chapter 308: Dead man tells no tales (1)

The man quickly analyzed the situation. One superior master level warrior had gone out of the ship to take the baby. This was actually a good sign.

'That man is a supreme master level warrior but…'

If the man, who was superior master level warrior, fought him along with over 300 pirates, maybe he had a chance. There were more than enough of them here.

'It's enough if I can have pirates hold him down.'

He didn't think about killing his enemy. If the pirates could hold the man down long enough so that he could escape, that would give him time to return and let people know the existence of this monster. And when he thought through his plan, he quickly moved to take action. He sent one of the leaders among the pirates a telepathic message.

[Ben! What are you doing!?]

[B-but…]

[Are you going to stand there and watch? Your captain is dead! We are against strong enemies, but they are only three! We outnumber them by 300 people!]

[I know, but we can't…]

It wasn't only Ben, all pirates were terrified by Chun Yeowun's monstrous power. The man urged more strongly.

[Will you not uphold the oath that your captain made with our Brotherhood?]

[I-I know about the oath, but how can we even fight that monster?!]

The man became frustrated. He wanted to use pirates to stop him, but he didn't realize they would be too frightened. Even if they were pirates from the Forces of Evil who did not care about anything, it did not mean they did not know fear the impossible.

[It's just one man! You're warriors from the 18 River Family and you just…]

It was then. Powerful energy came upon him and the man threw his body backward. Blue force qi shoot past him. His head would have been cut off if he didn't dodge it.

"Aargh!"

"Ugh!"

But with him dodging it, over tens of pirates behind him had their necks and chests cut through. Blood poured out from their bodies, covering the entire ship.

"Ugh!"

And in a slight second, Chun Yeowun was already standing upon the man. The man spun his body left and brought up his blade to cover and Yeowun struck it down.

"Ugh!"

He blocked it with the blade, but his body came crashing down on the ship's wooden floor. The floor was destroyed half way with his body being stuck in there.

'W-what is this power?'

He expected a powerful blow as the enemy was much stronger than him, but it was hard to even just defend it. He was able to hold onto the blade, but his hand became numb.

"You think I will give you time to play tricks?"

And with that, the man became shocked.

'I-I knew it. He can hear telepathic messages.'

The man sent a telepathic message to pirates to make them attack Yeowun, but he did it partially to see if Yeowun could actually hear it. He thought if Yeowun did hear telepathic message, it was likely that he would make a move to stop him.

'I have to escape.'

The man gave up on pushing the White Dragon Blade away from him. He then focused energy toward his back to utilize the power that Yeowun was using to hold him down.

The man's body penetrated through the ship floor and dropped. His plan was to give up on fighting and escape by dropping below.

'He won't chase me while leaving the Godly Doctor's granddaughter behind with all these pirates.'

As he dropped through below, he twisted to created blade force qi and destroy the floor below. But his body suddenly stopped in the air. Yeowun had used force energy to stop him in the air.

'Ugh. You are a fool, trying to hold me by force energy.'

Force energy only worked on another man if the man was below superior master level warrior. A superior master level warrior can control their own qi completely, so it was easy for them to block enemy's energy coming into the body.

"HAH!"

The man unleashed his energy to free himself from the force energy. But he became shocked from what he saw. In that slight moment while he was in the air, Yeowun was already on the ship's floor below him.

"W-when?! Dammit!"

He then quickly used the blade formation while he fell. It was a powerful formation, worthy of a superior master level warrior. His blade formation quickly attacked Yeowun.

"This is your mistake for taking lower ground!"

He was surprised, but he still had the higher ground. But Yeowun didn't seem to be worried.

"Mistake? We will see about that."

And with that, Yeowun's White Dragon Blade unleashed powerful blade qi and stormed toward the man. It was one of the Extreme Arts of the Blade God.

"W-what?!"

'How can this be? My power that strikes down should be stronger!'

The man's blade formation was easily countered by the storming blade formation that shoot up. But the storm didn't end there. Blade force qi that destroyed the man's attack quickly stormed around him, trying to rip his body apart.

'B-blade force qi is surrounding me!'

On top of the ship, pirates were looking toward the hole with a tense look. The sound was sure that they seemed to be fighting. Soon, it turned quiet.

"…Is it over?"

At moment, the man penetrated through the floor of the deck, and Yeowun's body stormed up while he swung White Dragon Blade, like a rising dragon.

"Aaaaaaaargh!"

The man's body was being slashed by force qi. It didn't cut him entirely off, but his skin was ripped apart and cut down, making it gruesome. The man even thought it might be better to die.

'I can't let you die yet.'

Chapter 309: Dead man tells no tales (2)

Yeowun quickly withdrew his hand and the storm disappeared, cutting both of the man's arms below the elbows.

"Aaaaaargh!!!!!"

The man fell to the deck. His skin was ripped and forearms were cut, so the man kept screaming in pain. Yeowun walked up to him.

"Your hat is destroyed but I still can't recognize your face. Well, it doesn't matter."

Yeowun placed his hand below the man's stomach. The man flinched and shouted.

"A…aargh. W-what are you doing…!!!"

"I am doing this."

"Aaaaaaargh!"

Yeowun immediately destroyed the man's internal energy. With extreme pain coming from all his wounds, the man passed out. Yeowun then sealed his blood points and threw his body with force energy toward Hu Bong and Bakgi.

"Hu Bong, make sure he doesn't die."

"Yes, Master."

Yeowun then turned toward pirates.

"It's your turn now."

Chun Yeowun never left any potential dangers behind, even if the enemy was weak.

"Hiiiiek!"

The pirates were all terrified by what they just witnessed.

"M-monster!"

They began running to all sides frantically.

"R-run!"

"Jump into the water!"

They didn't care if they outnumbered their enemy. They didn't care the river water was too fast for them to swim. They just had to get away from the monster. But…

"Who said you can go?"

Yeowun gestured of picking something up by his two hands, and the weapons that the pirates dropped while running away immediately rose up in the air. There were about 60 weapons. Yeowun ordered to Nano.

'Nano, self-targeting mode.'

Nano's voice rang through his head.

[Activating self-targeting mode on 63 weapons. Locking onto targets…]

Yeowun saw tiny red circles appearing over the pirates who were running away in all directions. Over 60 weapons shot up and circled around the ship, aiming outward. The pirates all became shocked to see weapons floating in the air and stopped. They became terrified to see the weapons aimed at them.

"L-look at that…"

"T-that's too much!"

The pirates were too afraid to even move. They had many experiences as martial artists of Yulin, but they never heard or saw such terrifying skills. Yeowun then flicked his finger.

[Initiating the attack.]

A total of 63 weapons began to move. This was a spectacular sight of countless weapons moving through air to kill their target.

"R-run!!!"

"I don't want to die!"

The ship became mess. It was like a battlefield where all pirates trying to run, and some were trying to defend themselves against impending doom. But the result of the battle was a massacre. With weapons stopping them from jumping off the ship, the deck turned into a bloodbath.

"Argh!"

"Ugh!"

Tens of pirates were killed by the weapons moving on their own. The technique easily killed top-level masters even by using rusted swords from Sword Creek, so the effect increased when it was used with normal weapons against weaker enemies.

"Y-you devil!"

Some of the pirates shouted angrily at Yeowun who was observing them coldly while the massacre took place. He was looking them as if all of this was normal.

"I-I have to get away!"

All ships were interconnected with chains, so they couldn't even run. That's when one of leaders came up with an idea.

"Y-yeah! HEY! Destroy the chain!"

They already saw the air sword losing control when it became far away. The river flow was quick, so it was going to send them away from the ship faster.

'I can't save everyone. Let's cut the ties and get away while we can!'

Over 30% of all the pirates had died already. It was a matter of time before all of them were wiped out.

"Quick!"

"Destroy the chains!"

Pirates who ran into another ship banged on the chains to breakthrough. But then some of air swords that were massacring the pirates flew up and destroyed the chains for them.

"What?"

"W-why?"

There was no way that Chun Yeowun would let them go. It was hard to understand, but they soon learned why. Some of the air swords then changed direction and penetrated through the bottom of the other ships, making large holes. The ship began to sink.

"T-the ship's sinking!"

"Dammit! He was after the ship!"

Yeowun was destroying all other ships except the one that he was on. The sinking was slow however, so the pirates who tried to destroy the chain to get away became pale. Their last chance of escaping was gone.

"P-pull up the anchor!"

"Aye!"

They at least hoped that the river torrent would push them away. But the ship was already sinking so it didn't move as they hoped it would.

"I-it's not working! The ship isn't…. UGH!"

The pirate who tried to move the ship died with a sword penetrating through him.

"Daego!!!"

The leader pirate who ordered to destroy the chain screamed his name with despair. He then slumped down and glanced over at Yeowun.

"T…that man is a devil!"

It seemed he was trying to kill everyone above the ship. The screaming heard throughout the ship was like the song Yeowun was making as he moved his arms.

"Argh!"

"UGH!"

And pirates finally realized while they were dying that the worst disaster had hit their ships.

"NNNGH!"

Gam Miyan, whose blood points were sealed, moaned as she couldn't scream. Her eyes turned red from tears as she saw hundreds of pirates being massacred. Her movements and voice were sealed, but it didn't stop the tears dropping from her eyes.

Bakgi then silently turned her around, as he thought she was probably too sad to see such a cruel sight, even if these enemies were pirates. But her eyes were actually that of a person who was actually truly sad, as if she was mourning for them. She looked like she wanted to say something.

"This will be over soon. We will have your baby here too."

Bakgi spoke, but she glared back at him furiously.

"NNGH!"

It seemed she wanted to say something. But even with the baby hostage, the woman set traps before so Bakgi thought he had to be safe and ignored her. Hu Bong glanced at her and sent a telepathic message.

[You know, I didn't want to think it this way, but she seems really angry at us as if she doesn't want to be rescued. Don't you think?]

Bakgi did not respond to Hu Bong's uncomfortable look.

At the same time, Fourth Elder Yang Danwa quickly killed tge pirates on tge watchtower and infiltrated the half dismantled shack. There weren't much people around as most of warriors were already on the ship.

'The only ones left are the women and children.'

It seemed like all the warriors who could fight were on the ship, with only a few pirates left behind to stand watch.

"UGH!"

Yang Danwa went up to another pirate on watch and snapped his neck. He then quietly hid the body in the corner.

'Nine.'

Yang Danwa silently killed all pirates that were on watch. There was no need to kill them all as their identities were not revealed, but there was no need to leave any potential dangers behind.

'And the women inside shacks…'

He decided to leave them behind. There was no way those people who hid inside shacks knew what had happened. Even the man with bamboo hat thought Yeowun and his group were from the Blade God Six Martial clan.

'Is that it?'

Yang Danwa quickly found the captain's shack. It was one of the largest and most lavishly-decorated shacks so it was noticeable. The large tiger pelt covering it was a dead giveaway.

'I sense two inside.'

Yang Danwa carefully walked over and heard the sound of breathing, and footsteps walking across the room. He opened the shack and walked in. The middle-aged woman who was gently caressing baby became shocked and tried to scream.

"Ky…"

Yang Danwa quickly sealed her blood points to make her pass out and snatched the baby before it fell to the ground. The baby tried to cry, so he pressed on the blood point so the baby would fall asleep.

Yang Danwa then looked down bitterly at the woman. It was an ordinary woman who had not learned any martial arts, but there was no choice as she shad seen Yang Danwa's face. He then snapped her neck without hesitation and left the shack. Yang Danwa quickly stepped through and returned to the riverbed near the ships.

"Ah!"

Yang Danwa became astonished. The fight had yet to start when he left, but there was no sight of the five other ships that were connected to it. Even the large ship that was loading cargo was now sinking beneath the river.

'He killed everyone in this short amount of time!'

It was possible for Yeowun's monstrous power. The level of supreme master warrior was enough to be considered one of the top five warriors of Yulin. But the speed was still too fast.

'Did he use that technique from before?'

Yang Danwa still had the sight lingering on his head, where hundreds of swords had massacred the pirates. It was a technique that no powerful warrior Yang Danwa had ever seen before. It was enough to even make him become afraid.

[Elder Yang. This way.]

He then heard Hu Bong's telepathic message and turned toward the direction. Hu Bong was waiving at him around the hill toward the mountain. And as he ran up there, he found Yeowun's group waiting for him behind bushes.

"I did as you ordered."

"Good work."

Yeowun nodded after checking the baby. Yang Danwa then glanced to see Bakgi hanging a man drenched in blood on by the tree. By looking at him with two of forearms missing, it was easy to see who had done it.

'The Lord did it again.'

It seemed like anyone who came across Chun Yeowun as an enemy would lose an arm or two. Yang Danwa then remembered that more than half of princes had lost their arms in the competition. This gave him chills.

'Huh?'

He then realized Gam Miyan was a bit strange. She couldn't move with her blood points sealed, but she was crying and she shook.

"Lieutenant Hu, what is up with her?"

"I'm not sure. We didn't set her free as it doesn't look right, but she's been like that ever since. She's looking at us as if we are the bad guys."

"Hmmm?"

Yang Danwa became confused. He then thought maybe she was worried because she didn't see the baby yet, so he took the baby and showed it to her.

"We have your baby here."

Gam Miyan's eyes then turned to relief as she looked at the baby. Yeowun then let them free her to speak. She was unstable up until while ago, but she now had seen the baby so he figured she would be fine. But when they freed Gam Miyan, she began to scream. The noise even woke up the man who passed out.

The man slightly opened his eyes to check the situation and realized he was kept alive.

'What should I do?'

He then pretended to stay passed out by closing his eyes. He couldn't run away as he was tied by rope anyway.

"NNNGH!"

Yang Danwa grabbed her mouth. He thought about putting seal back so she'd be silent, but he then became curious and asked, "What are you doing?"

She then glared back at Yang Danwa as if she wanted to say something.

"If you scream again, I will make you silent again."

Her eyes rolled up and down, nodding. Yang Danwa then let go of her mouth and Gam Miyan spoke with rage.

"Hah… hah… you just let my husband drown underwater. Do you think I will be grateful for that?"

"Your… husband?"

Yang Danwa, Bakgi and Hu Bong all frowned at that. They couldn't understand what she was saying. Yang Danwa then asked her.

"Are you talking about that First Mate?"

"Yes! You all heard that he was my husband and you just let him die anyway!"

Surprisingly, Gam Miyan thought the dead First Mate was actually her husband. Bakgi then became dumbfounded about Gam Miyan's tears back on the ship.

'So, she cried because she really was sad for them?'

He thought she cried only because she was afraid to see such a cruel sight. The reason why she passed out when the ship sank was because her husband, the First Mate, sank along with the ship. She then glared at Yeowun and spoke.

"And our warriors… how could you kill them in such cruel ways?! Just because you have powers, you can't kill people like if they are animals! You devil!"

"Devil…"

She seemed to be furious beyond reason. Most people would be too afraid to even speak to Chun Yeowun after seeing what he had done, but she didn't seem to care.

'I-is she really mad?'

Hu Bong became dumbfounded while Yeowun narrowed his eyes. Gam Miyan's reaction was beyond logical explanation so even Yeowun became curious. Hing Wunja clearly said under the truth serum that the Godly Doctor's granddaughter had been kidnapped.

'Why is she siding with those pirates when she was kidnapped?'

That's when Nano answered his thoughts.

[This seems to match the case of Stockholm Syndrome.]

'Stockholm Syndrome?'

[It is a symptom where one finds sympathy with the aggressor in a mental and spiritual way. If it becomes excessive, it sometimes evolves into the feeling of affection such as love.]

'What? I didn't even imagine such a thing would exist.'

It was still hard to believe even after hearing it. But for the man who was tied on the tree, he was actually entertained by what was happening. He knew the state of Gam Miyan already because this was reported multiple times.

'So, it was true that the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor became very close with the First Mate of the Yongho Family… haha.'

This was actually why Gam Miyan helped the man set up traps. She didn't help just because she had to save her baby. For her, the Yongho family was actually her family and friends. A year in captivity had changed her very drastically.

'There were sacrifices but this seems to be good. She will not try to help them.'

Was it going as the man expected? Gam Miyan glared at Yeowun and the others with vengeful eyes.

"You came because my grandmother asked you to? Then I'm sure you're after my grandmother to make her treat someone. Isn't that it? Isn't that what you came here for?'

Gam Miyan was smart. She wasn't all correct with her guesses, but it still was similar. Of course, the only thing was that her grandmother promised to serve the Lord of Demonic Cult in return.

"Calm down. We are here because your grandmother really wanted to rescue you. We heard you were kidnapped and that captain threatened us with the baby. How would we know that you became friends with them?"

Yang Danwa spoke to solve the issue, but there was no way the woman would change her mind when she thought she had lost everything. Gam Miyan shouted, "Bah! Nonsense! Even if that's true, you still killed my people. You won't get anything from me!"

"Hmph. That wasn't our intention. I told you we didn't know."

"Is it fine because you didn't know? Let me tell you clearly. I will not help you get whatever you are trying to get!"

"What? What are you talking about?"

Hu Bong, who had been looking at her dumbfoundedly, frowned and asked. Gam Miyan then shouted as if she was cursing all of them.

"I will not go to my grandmother. If you take me by force, I will tell her that she must not help any of you! I will do whatever it takes to do that! You will feel my pain when you lose your loved one that you are trying to save!"

She declared that she would get in the way by using all she had. She was being ungrateful of being saved. This was not expected at all.

'Hahaha! This is interesting. You have the granddaughter but she will not comply, she will just be a nuisance to your plan! You all will not get anything!'

The man became excited while he was pretending to still be asleep. It looked like Yeowun's group was going to have a hard time as they now had to find a way to bring this nuisance back. They had to take her, but she was going to be far from help.

'You are paying the price for making me like this.'

And that's when he heard Hu Bong speak.

"…What a shame. You think we are some weaklings from the Forces of Justice? And you'll regret when you realize what our Lord will choose to do."

"Lord?"

Gam Miyan's eyes became large from Hu Bong's swords. The man also became shocked. There was only one who was addressed as a 'Lord' in the entire Yulin.

'Lord… wait. Is that…'

Chun Yeowun then looked down at Gam Miyan coldly and spoke, "Do you think you are the only one who feels the pain of losing loved ones?"

"T-that's…!"

"I don't care if you loved those who kidnapped you, nor do I care if you are sad because they died."

Gam Miyan was at a loss for words. This wasn't the reaction she anticipated.

"And you said you will get in our way no matter what it takes?"

"O-of course! You killed my husband so I…"

But she couldn't continue, as all of the people looking at her looked cold and emotionless. Yeowun shook his head.

"We will take you back no matter what you say."

Gam Miyan then narrowed her eyes.

"Hah! That won't be any use! I will tell grandmother to…"

"You won't."

"W-what? Of course I will tell her…"

"You won't, if you are dead."

Gam Miyan became shocked. The man who was pretending to be passed out also became shocked.

"Elder Yang, what do you say?"

"Well, it is common for hostages to die in huge fights. We'd be lucky to even find the remains. The Godly Doctor will be sad… but we have no choice."

Gam Miyan became grim at Yang Danwa's words. Their way of thinking and the action these people took do was different from normal people or people from the Forces of Justice.

"W-wait… are you g-going to kill me? A-are you out of your mind!? You are here to save me!"

"I saved you because you had a use."

"A use?!"

"You are no use if you are not the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor. But you just threw away your only value."

"W-what!!"

People usually changed their thoughts when their lives were in danger. Her senses that didn't work while in fury now returned. But it was too late. Yeowun talked to her in low voice, as if he was whispering.

"It's fortunate that your baby is asleep."

Gam Miyan then became pale at the voice.

"Y-you dev…"

But Yeowun swung his hand before she could finish, and her neck turned around because of the powerful force of energy.

"UGH!"

And with a gasp, Gam Miyan's neckbone was destroyed and died. She was angered, but she paid the price of not choosing someone to mess with wisely by death.

'What!'

The man became shocked.

'T-these people are mad! They really killed her!'

He didn't imagine that they would kill the granddaughter, the only possible piece that would make Godly Doctor work without hesitation, even in front of a baby. That's when he heard someone walking over to him.

The man who came up to him grabbed his neck. He opened his eyes and saw Yeowun looking at him.

"Do you think I wouldn't know you were pretending to sleep?"

The man became shocked. There was no way Yeowun would not notice the different breathing patterns after the man woke up.

"Now, it's your turn."

Chapter 312: A successor (1)

A dark night with only a few torches that lit up the area… someone appeared at the Yongho Family village that was surrounded by the forest near the Yellow River. The sound of small but constant footsteps proved that the visitor was a martial artist. But this man had very distinctive looks. He had two very large swords behind his back that were wrapped in a crisscross pattern on his back, with a tiger on his shoulder. He entered the Yongho Family village with a dead tiger.

As he got into the village, his face revealed under the torch. He had crumpled hair with clothing made from animal leather, and he was in his mid 20s.

"Hmm?"

He became surprised when he walked into the village.

'This is strange. I'm sure it's about time for the pirates to return and rest.'

He only felt about 50 people around the village, and all of them seemed to be either women or children.

'Well, it's none of my business.'

Whatever the case, his job was to see 'her', not the other pirates, so it didn't matter. The young man walked straight to a place within the village as if he had visited this place many times. He was going toward a large shack, larger than any of the other shacks inside the village. As he neared the shack, he stopped as he felt something weird. He then went toward the area inside the fence where the jars were gathered.

"Huh?"

There was the dead body of pirate that was folded over behind a large jar. The death was caused by the neck that had been snapped.

'Was he folded so he could hide behind?'

The young man then realized something wasn't right. He dropped the tiger on the ground and banged on the shack. The shack had to have 'her' and her husband but he couldn't feel anyone inside. He couldn't even feel the nanny who always resided inside the shack.

'Ugh. I need that damn medicine…'

He glanced around and walked into one of the rooms inside the shack. It looked like a medicine room, so he checked to see if there was the medicine he needed there. But all medicinal herbs were in their original state with no sign of any mixtures.

'Ugh. There's nothing here.'

He then left the shack and went somewhere else. It was to ask someone for what was going on, as he felt the human presence nearby.

With a bang on the door, a middle-aged woman came out, woken up from her sleep.

"Ugh, who the hell is banging on the door at night… uh?"

She became shocked to see the young man. It seemed like the woman knew this man very well. She asked in shaking voice, seemingly afraid of him.

"W-why are you here at my shack? Aren't you here to see Lady G… Oh!"

She then realized Gam Miyan wasn't at her home. That was probably why this young man came over to her instead.

"Where is she?"

"Y-you are talking about Lady Gam, right?"

"Yeah."

The woman told him that Gam Miyan was in the middle of the river by battleships. The young man thanked her for telling him that and disappeared. When he disappeared, the woman became relieved and fell to the ground and mumbled.

"Whew… that was scary. I hope we move our village fast."

It was always scary to see this young man, as everyone was afraid that this young man might make that monstrous man appear.

At the same time, in the middle of the mountain right in front of the riverbed where battleships sank nearby, the questioning was being held on the man who was hung up on the large tree with missing arms. The man's eyes were numb and he was mumbling something.

"…And that… makes up the Brotherhood…"

"Hmm."

Chun Yeowun and his members were listening to him. Yang Danwa touched his chin and spoke.

"I didn't imagine the Forces of Justice would have such extremists among them."

Hu Bong answered as he was dumbfounded.

"These people are crazy. I understand a world of justice and all, but killing everyone related to the Forces of Evil and the cult to even distant relatives? It's insane."

Blue Sky Brotherhood. A secret organization within the Forces of Justice had the goal of making a blue sky. It was revealed that this organization was created with powerful figures of the Forces of Justice gathering together. All of these individuals were extremists within the faction. The man under the truth serum revealed everything about the Brotherhood's purpose and how it was created.

"They are under a delusion!"

Hu Bong shouted angrily as he had been angry ever since he heard their motives. As mentioned, the goal of Blue Sky Brotherhood was to kill everyone who did not side with their justice. They didn't care about how they achieved their goal, only if they got to it. This wasn't what the Forces of Justice originally sought out to be.

"They have no right to speak of themselves as the Forces of Justice."

Bakgi spoke with a frown. That method of thinking that sacrifice was more in line with what the Forces of Evil might do.

'The president and the five officers…'

The organization had a leader called the president, five officers, and other powerful warriors. Five officers were called masters.

Yeowun continued with the question.

"Are the five officers ranked?"

With Yeowun snapping his finger, the man, who was revealed as one of the masters, spoke.

"No… besides … the president… we are all… equal."

The master didn't look all that healthy. The reason why he was talking slowly was because he was under a heavy dose of the truth serum.

'His internal power is destroyed, but he's still a superior master level warrior. His mental strength is powerful.'

The master resisted the truth serum strongly at first. He couldn't think straight after the injection but he still resisted. This made Yeowun add more truth serum, but it made the man almost hallucinate.

'I have to make it quick.'

His eyes were half-closed, so it didn't seem like Yeowun had a lot of time.

"Tell me all the names of the officers."

This was vital information, as this information would allow Yeowun to be prepared in the future. The master flinched at the question and began to resist. Yeowun snapped his fingers again and the master began to speak.

"N…Namking family's leader… Namking Keng…"

Report chapter

'Namking Keng!'

Yang Danwa became shocked. The Namking family was the strongest family among the top five families of Yulin. Namking Keng was the house leader, one of strongest within the Nine Strong, and he was close to rising as one of the top five warriors in the close future.

"M..Mudan clan's… Hing Wunja…"

"Ah."

They knew Hing Wunja was related, and it was confirmed that he was actually an officer. The Mudan clan was one of strongest, along with the Sorim and Flower Mountain clans among the nine clans.

"Tang Philson of Sachun…"

"…I expected as much from them."

The Sachun family of the five families was one of the most aggressive people among the Forces of Justice. They walked the path of justice, but they still used poison and various traps. Tang Philson, a second rank in the family, lost his daughter in the war between justice and evil, so he hated the Forces of Evil with his heart. He wasn't one of the Strong Nine, but he was known for his ability to use poison.

"And… and… Uaaaarg…"

The master then began to moan. Veins were popping up over his forehead, resulting in a severe headache.

[An overdose of truth serum seems to be affecting the target's brain.]

Yeowun frowned at Nano's words. That was correct, but it also seemed that this man was fighting the further spilling of information.

"Ggggrrr…."

The man's eyes rolled backward, showing the whites only. He trembled as he mumbled.

"I…I am Feng… Muwar… of Habuk family…"

This was the man's true identity. He was from the Habuk family, known for their blood skill, and second in rank within the family. He was one of the Strong Nine.

"Ar….ggg…"

[The target's breathing is becoming weaker.]

"Dammit!"

Yeowun sent in his internal energy into Feng Muwar's body so he could stay alive. But Feng Muwar without his internal damage was like a broken jar.

'I have to hear who's the president!'

Feng Muwar's trembling began to die down, and Yeowun shook his dying body.

"Hey! Who's the president?!"

Yeowun snapped his fingers at Feng Muwar's ears. But he was almost dead.

"Rrrrggg…"

Yeowun shook the body with one hand and snapped his fingers by the ear again and again.

"Presid…ent… only… speaks to… Namking…"

Feng Muwar died before he could finish his words. His injury was severe so he couldn't withstand the amount of dosage of truth serum. Yang Danwa placed his hand on the chest to check and shook his head.

"He's dead, my lord."

But they had enough information needed.

"…Was he saying that Namking Keng should know who the president is?"

"It seems likely, my Lord. But finding it out from him would be hard."

Yeowun nodded to Yang Danwa's reply. Yeowun had learned a lot about Yulin after he became the Lord. Namking Keng was one of the 17 leaders of the Yulin clan. He was the third leader, while the 4th through 17th leaders were at the same level, those 3rd and above were ones that had true power over the entire Forces of Justice faction. Namking Keng was the Commander of the Demon Hunters, one of the two armies within the faction. The Demon Hunter army was literally created to fight against the Demonic Cult, and Namking Keng was its commander. He was the man who could order over 30 thousand warriors at his disposal.

"This is going to be hard. At least we have vital information we ne…"

But before Yang Danwa could finish, Yeowun turned his head around to a direction toward the river. It was a bit later than Yeowun, but Yang Danwa also noticed something and turned toward the river.

[My Lord. There's someone there… he seems to be quite powerful. I guess he's from Blue Sky Brotherhood.]

[…Seems so.]

Yang Danwa placed his finger by his mouth to signal Bakgi or Hu Bong to stay silent. They nodded and became silent but it was too late. The enemy didn't sense Yeowun or Yang Danwa, but he had sensed Hu Bong and Bakgi.

Yang Danwa warned and the two of them readied with tense expressions. Soon, they heard the sound of something coming through bushes. The man appeared soon enough. He had two giant swords on his back with crumpled hair.

"Huh? Six?"

The young man's face became weird. He thought he had sensed only two, but there were four more people, including two dead ones.

'Oh no!'

He then glanced at Gam Miyan on the ground. She wasn't breathing and didn't even move with her skin going pale. She was dead.

"Dammit!"

The young man became infuriated and glared at Yeowun and the others.

"Did you kill her?!"

He then charged while pulling out his greatsword and went straight to Bakgi, who was closest to Gam Miyan's body.

'It's huge!'

The sword was really huge, about 2 meters. The young man struck down his sword from above and Yang Danwa charged in to defend. Yang Danwa's palm was surrounded by blue force qi. The greatsword also wielded blue force qi, but Yang Danwa was stronger with his energy, so the young man was thrown to the back. He flipped in the air and dropped to the ground and frowned.

"Dammit. I wanted to take out the weak one first."

"Weak?!"

Bakgi became grim at the words as he was just talked down to.

[Captain Bakgi, he's stronger than you.]

[What?]

Yang Danwa told Bakgi to stand down. He knew Bakgi would not be killed at once, but he felt uncertain danger from the man and had to jump in. The young man spat and pulled out another greatsword from his back.

"Dammit. I don't want to do this."

It looked astounding to see him holding up two giant swords in his hand easily. There were very few who used dual swords within Yulin, as most warriors only concentrated on one weapon. Yang Danwa began to think.

'I heard somewhere… about the one who uses two great swords… where did I…'

"Two great swords… two… OH! I know! Martial Double Sword!"

"Oh great…"

The young man frowned at Yang Danwa's shout.

Chapter 314: A successor (3)

Top five warriors of Yulin.

The martial artists of Yulin began calling the five strongest warriors of the entire Yulin and addressed them as such. It wasn't sure why the number limited to five, but these five figures became like tradition in Yulin's history. North Justice, South Demon, East Challenger, West Strong, and Middle Double.

North Justice Blade, Yi Mok.

South Demon Lord, Chun Yujong.

East Challenger God, Ark Wui.

West Strong King, Hang Yen.

Martial Dual Sword, Wang Jing.

North Justice Blade Yi Mok was the leader of the Yulin clan, and the clan leader of the Justice clan. Justice clan wasn't one of the Nine Great Clans, but historically they had many of the strongest warriors in the Forces of justice.

As for South Demon Lord, it originally addressed Chun Inji, but after defeating Alliance of Forces of Evil at Sawon Plains battle, Chun Yujong succeeded the name.

Hang Yen the West Strong King had earned the title after fighting amongst warriors of the Forces of Evil to rise on top, who was powerful but also very keen on tricks and traps.

All three people above were the leaders of the three large factions that controlled the entire Yulin. The other two were ones that weren't related to the three factions. They only achieved titles through martial arts.

East Challenger God Ark Wui was a very mysterious man that no one knew much about him. The only thing known about him was that he had become one of the top warriors without any weapons, so he earned the title Challenger God.

But Wang Jing was the opposite. His name was so famous that everyone in Yulin had heard about him.

'Isn't he the one responsible for the birth of the 18 River Families?'

Chun Yeowun thought of this when Yang Danwa said the name. This didn't mean that Wang Jing was the one who created the 18 River Families. Originally there was a time when the Yellow River was infested with pirates. At the time, the name of pirates were 30 River Families, with over 10 thousand pirates controlling the entire Yellow River.

'The man who killed over three thousand pirates singlehandedly.'

That was the Martial Dual Sword, Wang Jing. He was actually one of Jiang Hu Ten Strong (Now Nine Strong). After losing his wife in a certain incident, he became enraged and massacred over 3 thousand pirates, downsizing the pirate organization into half. This made Forces of Evil target him, and Wang Jing was also labeled as a murder from the Forces of Justice for killing so many, and disappeared.

'This is bad…'

The young man looked troubled. He didn't think someone would recognize the name just by him using two swords.

'Father was right.'

His father always told him that he should never use two swords unless his life was in danger. He heard that his father had disappeared from Yulin for a long time, so if that man recognized him, then it showed that the man had experience in Yulin.

'What should I do?'

The young man realized that the middle-aged man was stronger than him. He was angry each time he glanced at Gam Miyan's body, but it seemed like there was no choice.

'Oh well. Let's escape.'

He then tried to turn away when someone charged up to him and kicked him. With over tens of kicks coming at him, the young man used his greatsword to defend it.

"Huh? You are…"

The young man became confused. It was the man with a scar on his face, which the young man thought to be weakest. They seemed to be around the same age, but this man was weaker.

"Who told you you can just run away?" Bakgi shouted as he kicked through. He then lowered his body to kick under him, as the greatsword would be hard to defend from below. But the young man struck down another greatsword that was held up to defend. Powerful energy shook his sword as Bakgi's feet struck it. Bakgi was pushed back and the young man became interested as it was unexpected that Bakgi would be this strong.

"…Interesting."

Bakgi frowned as all of his attacks were blocked again. Yeowun smiled.

'It's the Bakgi I once knew.'

This Bakgi was just like when Yeowun first saw him at the Demonic Academy. They had been against many strong enemies recently so Bakgi couldn't show his aggressive and competitive side.

'I have underestimated him. Maybe I should let Captain Bakgi try this time.'

Yang Danwa also decided to let the fight be. The young man was at the end stage of the super master level, while Bakgi was established, a full stage lower. But the fight between martial artists didn't always mean it was about power levels. Sometimes, experience and will changed the outcome.

'Swords are large but he uses it without any issue. Then I have to make him show some openings.'

Bakgi was thinking about how to attack this young man.

'Ugh.'

But the young man was disappointed. He actually wanted to fight this similarly-aged warrior who seemed to be a good match, but he was concerned about the two others who he couldn't sense. One of them even recognized the Dual Martial Swords. He shouted at Bakgi.

"Hey, Kicker."

"What did you call me?!"

"I'm not afraid of you. But I'm busy, so I have to go, okay?"

The young man then created sword force qi over his two swords and jumped up.

'What?'

Bakgi quickly tried to jump in to stop him, but the young man slammed the ground. And with two greatswords banging into the ground, dust clouds kicked up, sending rock debris and sands all over. The young man then turned to escape from the scene.

'I have to tell my father that there's someone who recognize… huh?!'

The young man became shocked when he saw another man with long hair standing in the direction he was going to run. It was Chun Yeowun.

"You heard what he said. We can't let you go."

"Dammit!"

The young man quickly brought his two greatswords and unleashed a sword formation. Yeowun then reached out his hand against the two great words coming at him.

"You think you can block my swords?!"

He tried to cut down Yeowun at once with the powerful energy. But…

"W-what?! It won't move!"

He couldn't move even an inch with Yeowun holding the sword with his hand.

'H-he's like my father!'

Chapter 315: A successor (4)

It felt like if he was throwing an egg at a great stone. Throwing an egg to destroy the stone only resulted in broken eggs. Yeowun then brought up his other hand and placed it over the young man's forehead and rolled his finger to grab it by the thumb. And that looked like…

"Finger snap?"

"Yeah."

"AAAARGh!"

The young man was thrown way to the back, spinning three times in the air before he dropped. He tried to stand up, but he had a concussion and fell down.

Yeowun placed his hand over at his stomach to destroy his internal energy, but Yang Danwa quickly stopped him.

"My lord! Please stop!"

Yeowun stopped and Yang Danwa continued.

"This man might not be related to the Blue Sky Brotherhood?"

"What makes you think that?"

"You may have heard. Martial Dual Sword was shunned by both the Forces of Evil and Justice and disappeared."

Yeowun narrowed his eyes. He knew this too, but Martial Dual Sword's action that led to his disappearance seemed quite close to what Blue Sky Brotherhood was trying to do now. But as he wasn't one of the Forces of Justice, it was likely that Yang Danwa had a point.

"Let's ask him who he is and why he's here."

If he was related to Blue Sky Brotherhood or the Forces of Evil, there was no need to keep him alive. Especially when he saw Feng Muwar and Gam Miyan's bodies. Yeowun placed a blood point seal on him.

"I'll question him this time, My Lord."

Yeowun was threatening whenever he questioned people, so Yang Danwa decided to do it this time around. Soon, the young man woke up.

"Uh… huh?!"

He looked down at the rope that tied him. It was drenched in blood, probably the same rope used to hang the dead he saw on the tree. He wasn't sure why he was being tied around, and he soon realized what happened after feeling the pain on his forehead.

"I… I passed out to a finger snap?!"

The young man reddened from embarrassment as he realized this. He always heard his father saying he was probably strongest around his age, so he was very proud of it, but he didn't expect he would pass out from a finger snap made by a man around his age.

'I was knocked out cold by someone my age, Father.'

And he heard Yang Danwa speaking to him.

"Are you awake?"

"OH!!"

He tried to bring up the energy, but he couldn't. It seemed all of his body had become numb.

"W-what is going on?!"

"We sealed your blood point."

"Oh… ugh."

So, he was captured while he passed out. After realizing he was helplessly captured among the enemies, he began to think. After thinking it through for a short moment, he spoke out strongly.

"What are you going to do with me? Are you trying to kill me? I wasn't going to say this but… please don't kill me!"

"…Are you not ashamed to say that?"

Yang Danwa became dumbfounded. It was hard to believe that this was the same man who attacked them without hesitation. Yang Danwa had to find out who he was, and why he attacked them or came here.

"We could have killed you, but we wanted to ask you who you were first so that we wouldn't kill an innocent person."

"OH?"

The young man realized his answer could cost his life. He had to say the right answers to stay alive. After a short silence, he smiled awkwardly and spoke.

"Ask me anything. I will answer everything you want to know if I know the answer that is."

Yang Danwa thought to himself that this young man wasn't from Blue Sky Brotherhood, nor any others. Most of the warriors at his level of power who were from any organization would choose to die rather than spill information, but he insisted on asking him.

"Tell me your name first."

The young man hesitated for a second and spoke.

"I'm Bunwang."

"Bunwang?"

Yang Danwa frowned as he looked at the man. If this man was the son of Martial Dual Sword just like he expected, he should have used the Wang family name in front.

'Is he an apprentice?'

That was another possibility. But if he only spoke his name, it was certain that he wanted to hide his background at least. Yang Danwa continued, "Why did you attack us?"

Yang Danwa knew that Bunwang attacked them after looking at Gam Miyan's dead body. Bunwang then glanced at the dead Gam Miyan again and spoke grimly.

"…I attacked because she was dead."

It was as expected. Yang Danwa then waived toward the back and Hu Bong walked up to him. He had a sleeping baby in his arms. Bunwang mumbled as he looked at the baby.

"That baby…"

"So, you knew. It's Gam Miyan's son."

Bunwang knew this very well as he had visited Gam Miyan's shack multiple times already. Yang Danwa spoke with a disappointed voice.

"We wanted to save her and her baby, but we failed because of that man."

Yang Danwa then pointed at Feng Muwar's body. Bunwang frowned at the horrible state the body was in.

"You came to save them? What are you talking about?"

"We were asked by Gam Miyan's grandmother to come to rescue her and her baby. But we were trapped so we couldn't save her."

'Wow.'

Yang Danwa shook his head in disappointment and Hu Bong became astonished at Yang Danwa lying so well. They were here to save them, but Gam Miyan was killed by them intentionally.

'Elder Yang's good at this.'

Bunwang seemed to be fooled and his eyes shook. He seemed to be thinking that he misunderstood these people.

"…Did you really come because of her grandmother?"

"Bunwang. It's us who have you captured. Why would we lie to you?"

Yang Danwa laughed and Bunwang became dumbfounded. He regretted attacking them and getting captured when they were not related to Gam Miyan's death. Bunwang spoke apologetically.

"…I misunderstood your intention. I am sorry."

"It's okay. But why did you come to find Gam Miyan?" Yang Danwa asked.

Bunwang replied bitterly.

"I needed medicine."

"Medicine?"

Yang Danwa became curious. Unlike his guess that Bunwang had some connection to Gam Miyan, Bunwang was actually here to meet a doctor. Yang Danwa then realized that the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor was probably well-trained in medicine and treatment. But Hu Bong shook his head and mumbled, "I'll see how it goes. You're a drug addict, aren't you?"

"W-what?!"

Bunwang became dumbfounded as he looked back at Hu Bong.

Chapter 316: Cold blood blockage (1)

Opium was once made from opium poppy which was spread among the Jianghu and became a problem. The Emperor directly ordered to stop the production of this opium but it was still widely consumed behind the scenes. Those who were addicted to this were labeled as drug addicts. It was natural for Bunwang to become dumbfounded. Yang Danwa shook his head and told Hu Bong to stay out of their conversation.

"So, what was the medicine for?"

"My… sister is sick."

Bunwang hesitated for second and briefly explained his reasons.

"Sister?"

"Yes. My sister has a disease that no other doctors can mend, but the medicine made by that woman worked quite well."

If what Bunwang said was true, Gam Miyan was surely trained in medical practice. If she was already medically talented, and if she wasn't killed by Yeowun, maybe she might have become the future Godly Doctor.

"I see. I guess you have the right to be angry when you saw her dead, then."

Yang Danwa spoke understandingly, but he was still eyeing Bunwang suspiciously. This was because Bunwang said he would say everything, but he wasn't going into the details.

'He's hiding all the specific details.'

Of course, there was no torture or threats involved, so maybe this was because Bunwang was relaxed. That's when Yeowun who had been watching silently walked over.

'Ugh.'

Bunwang found himself becoming afraid of the man who made him pass out with a simple finger snap. Yeowun seemed to be even younger than him, but the power was enormous, as if Bunwang was in front of his father.

'Maybe he just looks younger because of body reconstruction.'

He heard that when one that reached the end stage of the superior master level, they would go through body reconstruction to look younger. His father almost swore that no one ever reached the end stage of the super master level warrior other than Bungwang.

'Yeah. That must be it. He should be way older than he looks.'

Bunwang felt a little better after thinking of it that way. Chun Yeowun then walked up to him and looked down coldly as he spoke.

"You misunderstood us."

"What?"

"You think we want a friendly chat? Answer correctly if you want to live. If you skip all the details again, I'll destroy your internal energy and feed you to wild animals."

"Ugh! Isn't that too… okay."

Chun Yeowun then got back and retreated to his seat and watched Yang Danwa. His threat actually worked.

'Dammit. That guy is cold-hearted.'

With Yeowun's cold threat that had no sign of any jokes, Bunwang had to go into the detail he hid at first. He felt like he would die if he didn't.

"…Actually, my sister is in a serious state."

"What disease does your sister have?"

"Other people just call it blood blockage, but that woman doctor told me it's Cold Blood Blockage."

"Cold Blood Blockage?"

Yang Danwa became shocked. He seemed genuinely shocked, so Yeowun did not know about the name, became curious and asked Nano, 'Nano, do you know what that is?'

[There is no recorded data regarding said name of illness.]

Nano did not know. Of course, even blood blockage wasn't what was known in the future. Blood blockage was a disease where the yin side of qi in the body was too strong and it blocked the blood circulation, where many young girls of Yulin suffered. But the Cold Blood Blockage was similar and also quite different.

[Elder Yang. Do you know what that is?]

Yeowun asked and Yang Danwa explained what he knew. Cold Blood Blockage was a legendary disease known to be uncurable even in Yulin. The person who suffered from the disease was said to acquire an infinite amount of yin qi. But this was also sort of a qi where a patient was said to be allowed to contain an infinite amount of internal energy full of yin qi. It looked good on paper, but the human body had to balance the yin and Yan. With only yin taking over the body, it directly impacted the lifespan. It was known that the person who suffered from the disease would die before the age of 20 due to severe side effects of broken balance.

[That's interesting.]

[I have never heard of the disease existing in real life until today.]

Yang Danwa heard this was a legend, but if the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor identified it as such, then it wasn't to be ignored. Bunwang became grim after explaining his sister's state.

'I used all of the medicine I had… and her seizure is increasing. What should I do now?'

The reason why Bunwang came here was to get the medicine from Gam Miyan. He then remembered Yang Danwa saying they were here to rescue Gam Miyan because of her grandmother asking them to rescue her. Bunwang asked carefully, "Uh… is the grandmother of that woman also a doctor?"

Yang Danwa narrowed his eyes. It wasn't because he asked the identity of Gam Miyan's grandmother. It was because of the fact that the man, seemingly the successor of Martial Dual Sword Wang Jing, was in need of an exceptional doctor.

[My Lord. Did you hear what he said?]

[…Maybe we can use it to our advantage.]

[Yes.]

Chun Yeowun was also thinking of similar things as Yang Danwa. Sister of Bunwang must have a relationship with Wang Jing, so if they helped her, it might be likely that they can be friends with Wang Jing. And even if Bunwang wasn't Wang Jing's successor, it looked good enough to befriend such a powerful warrior. Yeowun nodded and Yang Danwa spoke to him.

"Yes. Actually she is a better doctor than Gam Miyan ever was. Gam Miyan herself learned from her grandmother."

"Oh! I-is that true!?"

Bunwang became excited. This was the good news that he could ever hope for. Bunwang became excited and asked, "I-if it's not too much, can I ask her to take a look at my…"

That's when a chilling presence of energy unleashed, making everyone around to feel a large explosion fill the entire mountain. All of them turned northwest.

"N-no!"

Chapter 317: Cold blood blockage (2)

Bunwang, who was tied on the tree, frowned. His internal energy was sealed from circulating, but this unique chilly feeling was familiar. It was the sign of his sister going berserk.

'No way. It's only been four hours!'

It hadn't been that long since Bunwang gave her the last dose of medicine. He thought it would last at least a day, but it was frustrating that he felt the energy which proved that her state was going worse.

'It's close.'

Yeowun narrowed his eyes.

"M-master! What is this energy?"

Yang Danwa became shocked. The energy was coming from the northwest, near a mountain hill. It was close, but it was still astounding to feel such cold energy clearly coming towards them. Bunwang shouted frantically.

"I-it's my sister!"

"Sister?"

"She's going berserk!"

"This energy is coming from your sister?"

Yang Danwa became grim. He heard the legend that the one who suffered from Cold Blood Blockage would have an infinite amount of yin qi, but this was more than he imagined. He didn't think that the energy would be so vast that they could feel it clearly from such a distance.

"I have to go take my sister down, or it will become dangerous. Please let me know."

"H-hmm… I guess this amount of energy is surely dangerous for her."

Bunwang couldn't correct Yang Danwa, the danger wasn't only directly from his sister in this case. He couldn't even imagine what his sister would do if she went full berserk. That's when Yeowun unsealed Bunwang. Bunwang's internal energy began to circulate and revolve around and Bunwang, ripping the rope that tied him apart. Yeowun ordered, "Take the lead."

"Okay."

Bunwang nodded and charged out toward the direction, while Yeowun and Bakgi followed. Yeowun ordered Yang Danwa and Hu Bong to stay behind with the baby. After moving through the mountain for about three miles, they soon arrived at the place.

It was late spring, with trees turning green but the area around was like a harsh winter. Everything was cold and all the bushes turned white from being frozen. All the leaves froze up and dropped to the ground, only to be shattered and even the branches were frozen solid. This area of this coldness was only growing toward the west. Toward the center, Yeowun and his group ran straight in.

"Hah…"

Bakgi was astounded each time he let out his breath when it turned white. This was quite astonishing as they were far out from winter. And the coldness only grew stronger as they walked toward the center. They would have died from the coldness if they didn't control their temperature through internal energy. Soon, they were at the center of the coldness.

"Ah…"

Yeowun moaned silently as he found a beautiful woman at the center of the coldness, with long silver hair and pale white skin even whiter than Chun Yeowun. The unique beauty even felt mysterious in some way. The woman was moving somewhere with her eyes not focusing correctly. And what was more surprising was…

'The energy is vast.'

The energy that revolved around her was so powerful that the air around was freezing. And it froze up debris that was floating as it followed her path. The ground that she walked past was frozen white, creating a path of white frost as she walked through.

"Yogun!!!!"

Bunwang shouted toward the silver-haired woman. Her sister's name was Yogun. But the woman seemed like she couldn't hear and kept on walking.

"She's gone mad. I'll have to seal her down so I can block the energy flow."

"Wait…"

Yeowun felt something was off and tried to stop Bunwang, but Bunwang had already started running toward his sister. Bunwang already stopped her sister from going berserk multiple times. But the amount of power unleashed this time was much greater.

'I-it's too cold!'

He was protecting his body by using all of his energy, but it was still too cold.

"Yogun! It's me! Wake up!"

Buwang called out to her at close range, but Yogun kept on walking.

'Ugh.'

Bunwang then walked past the ice debris floating around her and tried to seal her down.

'I'm sorry. I'll have to put you to sleep for a moment.'

He felt his skin being cut off from the ice debris that he walked past. After going through all that, he reached out to his sister to put her down.

"UHG!"

Yogun suddenly turned against Bunwang and looked straight at him. Her eyes had turned white. She was his sister, but it was still a scary sight.

"Y-Yogun!"

Yogun then grabbed Bunwang's wrist. At that moment, powerful yin energy began to seep into Bunwang and his wrist began to freeze up.

"Aaaaargh! Y-Yogun! Stop!! Stop it!"

He tried to bring up internal energy to defend, but nothing worked. Bunwang shouted at his sister to stop, but she didn't listen.

'D-dammit! I have no choice!'

Bunwang figured he might freeze to death, so sent internal energy into his foot to kick her away. He still couldn't use his greatsword against his sister. But his choice was wrong. His kick did not reach Yogun as a barrier formed with ice stopped his kick.

"W-what?!"

Yogun reached out toward Bunwang and held his other shoulder. Cold energy seeped into his shoulder and Bunwang became terrified.

"Y-Yogun! Aaaaaaaargh!"

The sharp pain of his body freezing up made Bunwang scream. Yogun went berserk and didn't seem to recognize her brother. At this rate, Bunwang was going to die at hands of his own sister. It was then.

Someone broke through ice debris surrounding her and came down from the air. Yogun's whitened eyes turned against the person.

"You should stop here."

It was Chun Yeowun. Yogun took her hands off from Bunwang's wrist and swung at Yeowun. But Yeowun easily snatched her hand. Yogun tried to send cold energy down to Yeowun to attack.

"W-watch out!" Bunwang shouted. However, Yogun seemed to be shocked when the powerful energy was blocking her energy from entering the body. Her wrist that was grabbed even became hot.

"I told you to stop."

Yeowun spoke and quickly thrust his palm at her chest.

Yeowun's left hand reached toward Yogun's chest to seal her down. But when his hand almost reached her chest, white frost gathered up and created an ice barrier around her. Yeowun narrowed his eyes.

'This is interesting.'

Yeowun stopped and sent energy into his hand to penetrate through the ice barrier at once. But Yogun then let go of Bunwang in that short moment and swung her hand against Yeowun. This time, it wasn't done to freeze him directly. With his hand swinging through the air, cold air stormed up and pushed Bunwang and Chun Yeowun toward the back.

"Aaaaargh!"

Bunwang, who almost had two of his arms frozen, couldn't balance himself and was thrown back. Bakgi ran toward him and grabbed him before he fell.

"Ugh!"

Bakgi did grab him, but the energy still pushed both of them way back.

'This is powerful energy.'

Bakgi knew the power was strong just by looking at the air churning around, but this was beyond his imagination. He had to drag it out almost 20 steps to stop.

"T-thank you."

Bunwang showed his gratitude. Bakgi then realized Bunwang was very straight in the way he expressed his emotions.

"Ugh…!"

Bunwang then looked down at his frozen arms. He protected them with his internal energy, but the skin was completely frozen. Bakgi looked at Bunwang in pain and silently sent his energy into the frozen body part to help him increase his temperature.

"You're a good man."

Bakgi raised his eyebrow at Bunwang's complement and answered, "Stop jabbering and concentrate on sending out the energy."

"Y-yeah. But we have no time to waste. It will be worse if we don't stop my sister."

His sister went berserk once before, but his father was here, so it was possible to seal her down before her yin qi was completely exposed. But now, his father was not here.

'Replenishing her yang through medicine is only temporary. You need to solve it with a definite solution or she will soon go berserk.'

Gam Miyan warned so, saying that she wasn't good enough to heal his sister. Gam Miyan said only the Godly Doctor would be able to heal her, so his father had been traveling through the lands of Yulin for over an year. Yet he couldn't find her yet. Of course, his father had to hide his identity so it only made things harder.

"I didn't think it would be this bad."

This amount of energy was beyond what Bunwang could ever be prepared for, and required his father to solve it. But that's when he saw something amazing.

"W-what?'

Chun Yeowun, who Bunwang thought would have been thrown back, was only pushed back five steps and was using his white blade to defend the cold energy.

'I expected him to be strong but…'

This was more than he thought. He didn't think it to be that way, but he kept comparing Yeowun to his father. Bakgi mumbled, "If he can't stop it, then we are in trouble. But I doubt that will be the case."

Bakgi couldn't imagine Chun Yeowun losing ever since they met. Even if he was against Cold Blood Blockage, Bakgi believed that there Chun Yeowun could lose to no one.

'So he considers that man like how I consider my father.'

Bunwang saw the strong trust and concentrated on himself to send out the cold energy. As Yeowun continued to withstand the cold energy, Yogun's white eyes began to turn transparent. Then the air around her began to grow more violent and created white frost all over the place. The frost that only surrounded her now began to increase in radius. Yeowun frowned.

'Is her energy really infinite?'

It was hard to believe that her energy was only growing even when it was already so powerful. Yogun then reached out toward the air. The frost gathered up in the air and became hundreds of ice particles.

"Ugh.."

Yeowun's grimness turned to surprise. Yogun was showing terrifying skills; it was hard to believe that she was just going mad.

"W…what is that?"

Bakgi and Bunwang also became shocked. They weren't sure if they were actually looking at a normal person. Yeowun was now trapped within the ice particles that circled him.

'How can he protect himself from that?'

Bunwang thought about himself being inside and concluded that he would die if he was in there. That's when Yogun gestured grabbing her hand and hundreds of ice immediately came down on Yeowun.

"N-NO!" Bakgi shouted with shock. But it was too late. Hundreds of ice flew from all sides, trying to skew Yeowun. But Yeowun's choice of action was very simple.

'Nano, activate Augmented Reality. Show me the pathway of all ice particles coming in.'

[Activating Augmented Reality on user's sight.]

Nano's voice rang through his head and Yeowun saw augmented reality being activated over his eyes.

[Calculating the direction of all projectiles and projecting.]

White light began to beam through the ice particles and soon created red lines of the ice particles' movements.

'I see it.'

With each direction being drawn, Yeowun was able to see the way out, whereas it wasn't visible with naked eyes. Yeowun jumped out and charged through. Becoming a supreme level warrior made him very fast, and he saw ice particles coming at him slowly in his eyes. Yeowun swung his White Dragon Blade to destroy the ice particles on the way. He couldn't stand still to protect himself from every ice particle, so he chose to charge forward and only defend against those coming from the front and the sides. His choice was correct. All the ice particles were shattered away as soon as they touched the blade. Yeowun charged through ice prison coming down upon him.

"I-it's amazing!"

Bunwang shouted with astonishment. He didn't think Yeowun would try to charge through like that. It was a bold move. As Yeowun shot past it, he was relieved that his guess was correct.

'The ice particles do not have energy in them.'

Chapter 319: Cold blood blockage (4)

The way it worked looked like Air Sword, but it was different. Yogun was just forming ice through her vast energy and threw at him. This would have been different if all of that ice wielded energy.

Yogun's eyes shook as she noticed Yeowun coming straight toward her. She reached out with her another hand and gestured as if she raised it. Then the ground began to shake and a large ice wall was pulled up from the ground.

"I-I can't believe it!"

Yogun's powers that she used while her silver hair fluttered was astonishing. It looked like she was an ice witch. But this skill actually worked against her. Her sight was blocked and all ice particles that went after Yeowun stopped it.

'This is the chance.'

Yeowun then swung his White Dragon Blade toward the ice wall. Blue force qi easily cut down the ice wall and made it fall to the ground. Yeowun then shot past through the wall.

"You're late!"

Yogun tried to increase powerful energy to defend, but Yeowun's hand was faster this time. His left hand struck her chest's blood point. With the blood point stopping the flow of energy, the coldness began to subside.

'What kind of yin qi can be this strong?'

Yeowun never used more than fifty percent of his energy even when he sealed a superior master level warrior. But he had to use 70% and he still couldn't stop all of her energy. Her body still finched and Yeowun increased his energy to 90% so that she would pass out.

That's when Yogun's eyelids closed and she passed out. Yeowun sighed in relief.

"Whew…"

He finally calmed her down. Bakgi and Bunwang quickly came up to them and Bunwang spoke excitedly.

"I didn't think you would really put her down! It's amazing!"

He was ready to see his sister going berserk until his father returned, but he was worried that she might die before his father came. It was fortunate that she was stopped before she used all of her energy.

'He's not in good shape either.'

Bunwang's right arm was moving awkwardly. Bakgi helped him recover by sending energy, but Bunwang's skin now turned purple, so it seemed that treatment was necessary. But Yogun was in worse shape. With the flow of yin qi being blocked, her veins were expanding. This meant her yin qi was still going berserk within her. Yeowun spoke to Bakgi.

"We have to move down to the outpost quickly."

It was likely that the seal would be broken if she was left like this. Bakgi nodded and Yeowun picked up Yogun over his shoulder. Her yin qi was still coming out, so it was too dangerous for Bakgi to hold her.

"Uh, what are you going to do with my sister?"

"I'm taking her to Gam Miyan's grandmother."

"Oh! B-but even if her grandmother is a good doctor, I don't think she can treat my sister in that state…"

Bunwang spoke worryingly. It seemed she now needed proper treatment as all other things just looked like a temporary solution. Yeowun then spoke to Bunwang.

"Well, if the Godly Doctor cannot heal her, then she's done. We have to hurry, so stay close."

"W-what? The Godly Doctor?!"

Yeowun then jumped out. Bunwang was dumbfounded and Bakgi spoke to him.

"…Gam Miyan was the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor."

"What?!"

Buwang became shocked. The Godly Doctor that he and his father had searched for long time was actually Gam Miyan's grandmother. He was also dumbfounded that Gam Miyan never told him that fact, even when he went to her multiple times for the medicine.

'She should've told me earlier!'

The reason why Gam Miyan did not tell them this was because it was Gam Miyan's medicine that stopped Bunwang's father from trying to wipe out the Yongho Family.

"There's no time to be shocked. Let's go."

Bakgi spoke and ran and Bunwang followed them. He had to save his sister first.

As soon as Yeowun got back to the others at the mountain, they went down to the docks. They just needed to cross the Yellow River and go south toward the Demonic Cult's outpost at the northern end of the Honam Region. The Godly Doctor Gam Rosu, Mun Ku, and Hou Sangwha must have been waiting there. It was a dark night they probably couldn't get a boat, but luckily they were able to find a boat that went across the river.

After crossing the river, they all moved through the stepping skill and soon arrived at the outpost of the Demonic Cult.

"Greetings, my Lord! Glory to the Demonic Cult!!"

"Glory to the Demonic Cult!!"

It was now early morning, but Yeowun's visit had every cultist of the outpost coming out and bowing down toward their Lord. Hundreds of cultists bowing down made their entrance grand.

'L-lord of the Demonic Cult?!'

Bunwang became shocked. He did become curious when Yeowun moved into the Honam Region which was controlled by the Demonic Cult, and even went straight into their outpost. He didn't imagine that Yeowun was the Lord of the Demonic Cult itself.

'I knew it. He must have gone through body reconstruction.'

The misunderstanding only grew stronger.

Yogun wasn't in good shape so Yeowun quickly asked where the Godly Doctor was at.

"She's at the guesthouse right now. This way please."

One of the cultists guided them through the outpost and Yeowun followed. He then talked to Yang Danwa and Bakgi.

"You two wait in another building with the baby and the body."

"I see. Understood, my lord."

"Yes, my lord."

They had to treat Yogun first, so there was no time to explain what happened at the Yongho Family's village to Gam Rosu yet. Yeowun made Yang Danwa and Bakgi wait outside so that it could be dealt with later.

"Oh, there they are."

The cultist pointed at the building patio where Gam Rosu, Mun Ku, and Hou Sangwha were eating breakfast. Mun Ku and Hou Sangwha were protecting her closely at all times.

"Oh! My lord!"

Mun Ku was glad to see Yeowun appearing in morning and got up immediately and ran down.

"Huh?"

She then noticed the silver-haired beautiful woman Yogun. She frowned and asked,

"…W-who is that?!"

Chapter 320: Cold blood blockage (5)

There was a distinct scent to every person, whether it was coming from the skin or the clothes. It was something that could only be recognized by others. As such, qi also had a unique kind of feeling that warriors who were trained in internal energy could feel its difference. Its sense to sense such energy increased one became more powerful. Warriors at the supreme master level interacted with the energy of the environment so it was possible to sense the trace of qi, and the cold yin qi made a trace across the Yellow River.

There was one man who was running through with enormous speed. He had curly long hair and a short beard. His face was filled with wrinkles. He was running through while having his hands gathered at the back, but his body did lose balance as he ran through.

'Southwest.'

The trace of qi was going in that direction. He was running through, but he couldn't yet get to the culprit who kidnapped his children.

'Whoever it is, I will never forgive you. I will have you pay the price of taking my children!'

His eyes were cold but he was boiling from the inside. When Wang Jing returned from his travel, he found his hideout destroyed with ice all over the place, and he realized his daughter had gone berserk and was stopped by an unknown warrior and became concerned.

'…That place.'

He then saw a large mansion in his eyes. On the gate, it read the 'Demonic Cult' on it. The cold trace continued into the outpost of the Demonic Cult. The man grimaced.

'They were behind it!'

It was unexpected, but he didn't care. There was no one he feared in this world anyway, so he charged toward the outpost.

At the same time, Gam Rosu was tending to Yogun, the beautiful silver-haired woman.

"Hmm…"

Gam Rosu had to stop eating her breakfast and tend to her patient as Yeowun said it was urgent. Her veins were expanding and cold air emanated from her, showing that Yogun wasn't in good shape.

Mun Ku didn't look all that well either. She asked Yeowun who she was, but Yeowun just said Yogun was in danger and quickly asked the Godly Doctor to watch over her. Mun Ku was now building up the imagination within her. Yogun was the most beautiful woman that Mun Ku had ever seen in her life, so she couldn't just consider her a patient.

'Why did the lord bring her here?'

She was very curious and concerned. It was Hu Bong who answered her questions instead. Hu Bong realized Mun Ku was worried about a mysterious beautiful silver-haired woman and explained what happened.

[…So he brought her here to have them become friendly with us.]

[Oh! I see. Whew… yeah, haha. I knew he wouldn't be like that and all… hehe.]

She brightened up when he told her. The Yeowun she knew was never was tempted by the beauty of a woman. It was embarrassing that she became jealous.

[Ah!]

But what Hu Bong said later made Mun Ku grim again.

[It's not certain yet, but I read from some book… that Cold Blood Blockage will need the opposite energy, or a man with strong yang energy to keep the balance.]

[Keep balance? Yang?]

[You know… like how a man and woman find love… and the man's burning st…]

[What?!]

Mun Ku's face reddened as if she would explode and told Hu Bong to stop. Hu Bong always had all kinds of weird knowledge. It that seemed Hu Bong was actually teasing her as he was smiling.

'He was playing with me! Ugh.'

"Hah…" Gam Rosu sighed. The air around Yogun was harshly cold. After enduring such coldness, Gam Rosu finished tending to her and spoke.

"Cold Blood Blockage…"

The Godly Doctor knew right away what the disease was.

"…I never thought I would witness this disease ever again my life."

It seemed like it wasn't her first time tending to a patient with said disease. Bunwang asked worriedly, "Is it bad?"

"I don't know who did this, but someone created a medicine to replenish her yang qi. That prolonged her life. Honestly, it's hard to live past 20 with this disease."

'Your granddaughter made that.'

The one who made the medicine was Gam Miyan, but Bunwang did not say it. Yeowun told him to stay silent about most of the things he knew if Buwang wanted to get help.

"What you just said… did you heal someone with this disease before?"

Gam Rosu became hesitant at Yeowun's question and shook her head.

"What?! What are you talking about?"

Bunwang trusted that the Godly Doctor, the best doctor in Yulin, would be able to heal his sister. But Gam Rosu's reaction seemed very untrustworthy. Bunwang raised his voice and Gam Rosu explained, "Hey, young man. Listen to me til the end."

"I first came across this disease 30 years ago. I knew how this could be healed at the time, of course."

"You know how to heal it?"

"Do you think I wouldn't know? It's just that this disease can be passed down in martial artists who train in internal energy, so that's why it's hard."

30 years ago, Gam Rosu met a woman with Cold Blood Blockage. Her hair turned silver with her yin qi going mad, so Gam Rosu studied hard and finally found out how to deal with it. But this method required more than just medical practice. It required internal energy that was equally powerful in yang qi to penetrate the blocked blood circulation within it.

"Do you think it's easy to find ones with such yang qi that can deal with an infinite amount of yin qi?"

"So, you couldn't find one?"

"…I actually did."

The Godly Doctor used all of her connections to find a powerful warrior, the leader of Sorim, Monk Gu Hur to help. Gu Hur was a respected monk of all martial artists from the Forces of Justice who valued life over all things and accepted to help.

"W-why did you fail then?"

"Monk Gu Hur had powerful yang qi within him. But it was the woman's body that couldn't endure it."

When Gu Hur's powerful energy penetrated through the nine blockages within the woman's body, powerful yang qi began to affect her body adversely.

"So, she died with all of her veins exploding through the energy. It wasn't the monk's fault, but he resigned from leadership after blaming himself."

"Huh? I think I heard about that incident."

Mun Ku heard this when she was young from her grandfather Mun Yun. The incident of Monk Gu Hur, one of the top five warriors and leader of Sorim, resigning from the leadership and disappearing from Yulin was huge news.

"It was the first time I could not save someone in my long years of medical practice."

There was no use even for the Godly Doctor. If she was a martial artist and knew about internal energy, she would have noticed the problem but this was first for her, so she couldn't save the person's life.

"Then what you thought of is wrong. You don't know how to heal her."

Bunwang spoke and Gam Rosu shook her head.

"I can't call myself doctor if I didn't study on what I failed to cure once. I found out the problem with my treatment later."
